That of course is taking some "artistic license" with phrases and subtle differences in meanings, but is basically true.

Got my 2 S3's today. Thanks UPS and Bitmain. The 1st one worked fine straight away. The 2nd one had some 'jet lag', only one blade was reported and the hash rate was correspondingly about half. Swapped power supplies, but that was not the issue. Opened the cover, pushed the connectors of cables between the controller and hashing boards in, and now both blades come up. Re-installed the cover, and it's still running both blades. Average hash rate is about GH/s after almost 2 hours on the 1st one. The 2nd one is has similar performance, but did not have much time to stabilize yet. Both running at default settings (frequency=218.75 MHz). Had only a few beeps so far, nothing annoying.
Cheers

just out of curiosity, how does the rockminer R3 compare to the antminer S3 ?
cost is similar and its bit faster but does consume bit more power. Is that it ?

The word bitcoin never helps. Also you can call it development hardware or something fancy. You can always tone it down and describe it as a computer board with a aluminum shroud and fans, it consists of chips, mosfets, and capacitors as many computers parts do. Maybe this is not the best advice to give, but I know for sure it's more difficult explaining what a bitcoin asic is then vaguely claiming it's just some computer hardware. just out of curiosity, how does the rockminer R3 compare to the antminer S3 ?

it definitely consumes more power, and when it comes to GH vs Watt that's what seems to matter the most. The biggest thing for rockminer is they shipped the R3 weeks ago so many people have had a head start with mining those units.

I just think it would have been easier for them to understand than trying to explain Bitcoin or using the word " mining" but good luck.

Oh no, I didn't mean a reset. It's just that many people confuse rebooting with restarting but you got it right. If your miner always had this problem you could try to check for excessive use of thermal paste under the heatsink. Members have reported mixed results after cleaning and reapplying thermal paste.

Blade 2 ok Tried to change power supplies, no luck ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) any help? I had a similar issue on one of the S3s that arrived today. One of the blades (2nd one) would not show on the status page of the web interface. I took the cover off, pushed all the connectors of the 2 cables between the controller and the hashing boards into their sockets, and that seems to have rectified it (at least for now). Maybe there is some workmanship/quality issue with these cables/connectors. (see my post a bit earlier on this thread). Good luck
