For the coupon offered, any one know whether it has a time limited. If not, I may opt that.  All my bitocoin is used to buy their machines so far and hence it is better.  However, if there is a time limit, not sure how long to get my 1.45 bitcoin to get the next batch, may get the refund instead.

Any one got experience?

there is a time limit... i think it was the 22nd from memory

you can choose refund before then or it will default to coupon after cutoff

also, one coupon per purchase

        #option 'chip_freq'     '125'        
        #option 'timeout'       '33'         

Looks like a typo on that top one.  Looks like it should be labelled #250M.  So there are three OC options already in the config then.

Anyone remember when B2 starts shipping?

It was before the 20th, but it may be a day or 2 late since some b1 are late. I think I got one of the last b2s. Hours after I ordered they went to b3 and the lower price

IMO anybody ordered late in late batch 1 or batch 2 are going to be shafted a bit here because if you had order early on the next batch, you would have paid less and received your unit on the same day or at the worst next day.


The least BITMAIN could have done is to at least come here and say that some of the late orders in batch 1 are a bit delayed since it's already 18th in china and they are supposed to be start shipping batch 2 today    .  So going by the way they have been shipping batch 1, your late batch 2 order should be shipped the same day as Batch 3 early orders     expect those people with early batch 3 orders paid less than you

I was order #8 in batch 1. Received all 4 S3's today.
Did some power measurements for those who might be curious. Kill-a-watt is showing power draw at the wall for two S3's as they come out of the box.

What speed are they hashing at ?

My Batch One order just landed in Anchorage. Should be delivered tomorrow Whee !

Mine is currently sitting at 441.84.  I need to break out the second unit this evening and compare.  The crazy power up top is annoying, but it's a little thing.

[Lowell904]

I haven't seen anyone on here with batch 1 saying that their orders have shipped in the last 2 days. It seems as though bitmain hasn't shipped any S3s in the last 2 days. I wonder what's going on.

How about an update Bitmain?

[Lowell904]

2014-06-30 20:36:39  unship   

Me too. Batch 1 in between 20:00 and 21:00.

Since we are going to have to wait a while, wouldn't it be nice if they are fixing the dc/dc issue for us before they ship? Or maybe we will get machines that have good hash rates. We can only hope.

I placed two orders on release. The first order was within the first seconds of going live and has already been delivered.
The second order was placed about 10-15 mins later and was shipped the next day. It will arrive tomorrow morning.

This should tell you something

[whonesta]

7 B1's delivered and running!...

ships with Freq = 218.75 x 16 chips x 2 Boards

Speeds 3 hours of OPS

Name / Miner Speed / Pool Speed

Miner1 / 425.53 / 418.63
Miner2 / 423.58 / 403
Miner3 / 441.19 / 420.82

Testing others at various freqs.. to be continued

UPDATE: My Batch 1 order has just arrived at work!

Thanks Bitmain!

Still unshipped...

well the 702 is nice but your psu is?  a dell server? can't tell

and your hash total is?    880?  don't know

That's only because you got to order early otherwise you would be here complaining about the same thing .

My batch 1 was confirmed at 20:23:47. Still unshipped.  I'll keep you guys posted.

[philipma1957]

here are some more codes


206.25------------------------------ ------------------------ 5002
212.50 ----------------------------- ------------------------ 5082
215.625 ----------------------------  ------------------------ 6206
218.75 ------------------------------  ------------------------ 5102


the above codes were from my hand calculations, GH speeds added. 215.625 gives me 1100Gh and less than 1.1% error rate



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589429.msg6485048#msg6485048

so 206.25

and 215.625   were both developed by klondike_bar

        option 'freq_value'    '6206'  #215.625M
        option 'chip_freq'     '215.625'        
        option 'timeout'       '18'   maybe 17

        #option 'freq_value'    '5002'  #206.25M  
        #option 'chip_freq'     '206.25'          
        #option 'timeout'       '19'  maybe 20


these 2 can be tested

I figured it was just my luck. I always tend to purchase them when the price goes down the next day Not sweating it. I figured I'd get them some time next week. My guess is these guys are all hands on deck boxing and shipping which is why they are passing on updating everyone. If they post here then it'll be 20-40 responses and more time spent replying with info. When I watched the orders coming in through the blockchain they were coming in at least every minute for batch 2 and 3. Most were for 2 units, though. I think it would have saved them time and money if they would ship 2 to a box since the minimum order is 2. I would be very surprised if the rest of B1 doesn't go out today.

well then it is just bad planning from BITMAIN, since they already knew they had a dense order list and they should know how many units they can ship per day, then why would come here and say Batch 1 shipping from 14-17     

why would you dig a hole for yourself unless your intention was to fill your order list first and then worry about shipping it. To me it seems they knew it is going to be like this but yet they slide it in as batch 1, where as in reality that batch 1 list should have been broken down into two.  It seems they bite more than they can chew

What is UPS doing! It went back 'out for delivery' at 8.30pm, 2am and no update.
