ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

[DevonMiner]

Received my two S3's today, in the UK, and paid UPS £137.00, not sure what the declared value was as the usual pink UPS invoice was missing. They say they'll send it in the post.

I am sure bitmain will do good by all of us. They are a good company.

I patiently wait.

those of us with late batch 1 unshipped units are getting screwed

Yep. Only 1/5 of my batch 1 orders have shipping info. 

lets pray...
hope my shipment will be delivered before 25th (its holiday in my country, post office will be closed for sure)

Now I can no longer connect to my units!!!!

try to hard reset ur miner, and follow this guide

I`m not sure how I hard reset. 

when i type 192.168.1.100 or .99 in the browser it says the webpage isn`t available....

[jfederkins]

hope they deliver batch 2 units tomorrow

Don't hold your breath.

They still haven't shipped all of Batch 1 yet.

where is the reset button? There is a hole to the right of the ethernet port, but i don't see a button inside of it, just some metallic (shiny) part. It appears that if there is a button under there, it has been mostly misaligned with the hole.

There's a reset button on the front
i havent received my S3, but i know there'll be a reset button, or hiding inside a hole
press it while ur miner powered on

Can someone tell me the measurements of a single S3 box (that it's shipped in)? Thanks

for resell shipping? 16inX9inX9in, mine were 12.6-12.7 lb (bitmain says 6kg)

Their can not be that long now, the customs guy that phoned me after questioning me are they for personal use today said their is a heep of them coming over to the UK.
mind you, it doesn't really help me saying not that long now when every has waited a while and are excited to receive them

Two B1 orders for a total of 14 S3's and still no shipment info.  WTF?

Go to UPS.com, use Track by Reference and use your order number as reference.

Bitmaintech website is like updated 24 hours later (or more).

Looks like I saw at least 2 people say they saw evidence that their B1 orders went out today.  Can everyone who has a B1 order that is apparently unshipped check on UPS and see if their order is out?  I am curious if they got all the rest of B1 out the door or not.

Nope... Order date: 14-06-30 @ 22:19:58.0

I knew my units weren't gonna get shipped until the 21st, just knew it lol

Looks like they're taking care of the largest orders of B1 first, not first come first served because a few already received their orders who ordered after me.

The AntPool dropped significantly today so everything could have been sent today but nothing updated.

If Friday was the F day to Finish B1, I'd be willing to bet everyone was exhausted and no one bothered to update anything.

PS: Using order ID to track never worked for me.

where is the reset button? There is a hole to the right of the ethernet port, but i don't see a button there, just some metallic (shiny) part. It appears that if there is a button under there, it has been mostly misaligned with the hole.

-When you look directly at the ECB, you will see a green light, a red light and another green blinking light (when it's running).
-The reset button is VERY SMALL!!!
-Find where the antenna mount connects to the ECB, the reset button is to the left of the GOLD connector.
-The reset button is VERY SMALL!! - Had to say it again because you may need something to help you push it.
-If your fingers are too big, you may not make a correct connection (to reset); use a pencil's eraser for example.
-With the miner running, hold the button for 10 seconds then restart the miner.

SideNote:
-Make sure your PC is on a the xxx.xxx.1.xxx network so your computer can connect to the miner
     -Change your computer's IP to something like: 192.168.1.111 - This is so you can be on the same network as the miner so you can change settings.
-You MAY need either a switch, router, antenna (WiFi) or a multi port modem.

Some computers won't interact well with the LUCI interface but with a switch, there should be no issues.

I assume you speak of the S1 since you're waiting on S3...  pardon me if I'm wrong :p

I only paid £122.65 and there was not a mention of the price on there. No UPS invoice either.

6 units batch 1 unshipped

[frigidformself]

I've got my 2 S3's!

Can I run 2 of them off of one Seasonic 860 Plat?

Also, I guess I only need to plug in 2 PCI-E on each side?

I've got mine currently pointed at coincadence with all my little r-boxes.  p2pool!

sure, its good too with seasonic 860w
and, u need to plug 1 on each side... no need to plug all 4 slot of PCI-E on S3
so 2 pcie for 1 S3

s3 already compatible with p2pool???

I went ahead and moved both miners to one Seasonic 860Watt Plat PSU and just plugged in 2 PCI-E's like you said






yea, I have mine pointed at a p2pool (coincadence) and it looks like it's working.  I just turned the miner back on after switching out the PSU's in this shot.

Reports for S3s on p2pool are so far very encouraging, expected hash rate being met and very low HW errors, nice work Bitmain!

Glad to have you on my node, If you have any problems or questions don't hesitate to ask

It's hard to see in your pic, but I think you have what you want. You want a dedicated PCIe cable to each blade (2 blades per miner), so for 2 miners, that's 4 PCIe cables, should not be a problem to run both off the 860Watt PSU.

Oooooo, super cool that you posted to say hi! Thank you very much for setting up the node!  I appreciate your hard work!

I ordered from Batch 2, but when I logged in to their website to see the status, the order
is missing, and just blank.  Is anyone else experiencing a missing order from the MY ORDER section.
I also noticed that I had some unused coupons in the MY COUPON section,
and those are missing too !

Di you reboot several times? Sometimes this happens with S1's.

try swapping your PSU's around, sometimes the PSU can be low on power.

I only paid £122.65 and there was not a mention of the price on there. No UPS invoice either.

 don't quote me fully on it but 20% VAT UK, times it by 5 and their is your amount £613.25
or simple 613.25 ÷ 100 x percentage (20) = VAT 122.65
£612.25 = 1,047.88 USD.

Their is no invoice as they can not even value the goods right, he asked me what it was, calculate or motherboard the only thing they can go off is what bitmain have said "ant miner"
and the price they valued it at alongside insurance etc
