ANTMINER S3+ Discussion and Support Thread

1. why is your pool info repeated twice?
2. remove stratum+tcp://, just keep stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334
3. maybe add a second pool

save and apply

wait until it beeps, then check

Sorry, pasted twice by accident...

I tried removing the stratum+tcp://, no change... no beeps either...

Also, when I try diagnostics, tracert and ping both fail.  reports Network unreachable...


My WAN shows activity, my LAN shows no activity and is set to DHCP...  Should I be changing this to a static IP address as well as the WAN address?  (two different IP's???)

is your router on 192.168.1.1?
do you have other miner that might be on 192.168.1.99?
bold numbers should be the same for router and miner, but could be different from standard

Good call Bio, bytechanger, log in to your router (what router/broad band provider is it?) and check the Default Gateway setting.

My router for example is 192.168.1.254 (most common is 192.169.1.1) - you need to set whatever this 'Default Gateway' ip address from your router in you miner config 'gateway' address.

figured it out...

Apparently you have to put in a password AND you must fill in all 3 pool's, otherwise no data appears in miner status...

Anyone know a couple of good pools I should use for backup?

BitMinter is a very good pool. It may be small, but the owner/operator is very good and responds to any/all questions on the pools forum

Just got my first S3 today. Plugged it to a LEPA 1600W PSU (using all 4 PCIe Connectors) and attached it to the network. It looks as if the fans are working, but for some reason I can not connect to it. The LEDs on the Network Plug also do not blink although the cable is connected to the switch (cable is fine, already tested that).
I have a lot of experience with S1 miners and my computer is set to IP 192.168.1.100.
Any suggestions how to solve this?
Kind regards

There is no option for me to get the refund of 7.7% from S3 B1, anyone else?
And I'm seeing 2 coupons of 0.75 per order.
BITMAIN never said about a deadline anywhere to request the refund.
BITMAIN please reinstate the option to redeem as coupon or btc.

 there was a cut off date july 22.     why did you wait?

There was no cutoff date in my account page / bitmain website / email. How you got that 22 July?
Also, it doesn't mean that I'm requesting for a refund.

[allcoinminer]

When will be on sale antminer s4 (2-2.5 Th) ?

[allcoinminer]

When will be on sale antminer s4 (2-2.5 Th) ?

There is no miner called S4 as of now, so no sales.
S3 Batch 4 will be on sale today.

[BennyTheBall]

I see my coupons now .075btc x 3

when do they expire? expiration date is useful to know since it will give an indication when they will be available again for batch 4.

I predict there will be a big drop in price for batch 5, the reason is simple for batch 4 there are a lot of coupons for the people that did not want the refund which reduces the need for price reduction beyond the 7.7% for drop hash rate, and another 9% for difficulty increase, but as expected they will sell out quickly, for batch 5  all the coupons will be gone, and further increases in difficulty will force them to drop the price further, and by then mostly everyone that wanted one will have at least one, once they start selling from stock is when prices will be the lowest, just like it happened with the S1, history repeats. currently the s3 is the best deal for the money that I am aware of.

for me, validity time:

2014-07-12 00:00:00~2014-08-16 00:00:00

What do you recommend me guys then if i plan to run 2 S3 at 212,50 Frequency(~424,81 GH/s? - 362W / each, 724 W total). Use 1 corsair CX750W for 2 S3 with that frequency(212,50 - 362 W), or 1 corsair for each S3, and buy i dont know a 1000W new PSU for 2 more S3.

thanks

I thought they consumed ~360w for the ~480gh?

Is everyone else getting this high of power consumption at that low of speeds?

I have 4 running for the past 24 hours each pulling 365w and hashing at 441 average across all 4.

I am looking for  a coupon for s-3's


my bitmaintech name is:

 philipma1957



at allcoinminer I found this:


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671189.msg7866105#msg7866105



I am pretty sure there was more about 7-22 as the date.  Just can't find more then that.

mm there was not any post by BITMAIN. I checked his entire history of posts.
Those days here by some members where clear speculations.
But as a good manufacturer they should re-open that refund option again.

[midyatspor]

what is this time in usa eastern standard time?  Is it 10 am july 24th?


 if so I am fucked  as I will not have internet access until 11am .

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=what+time+is+it+in+shenzhen

It is usually the same time AM/PM swapped in EST as it is in China. So now it is 9AM EST in US and it is 9PM in Shenzhen. If the above post is real then they go on sale in less than an hour. Happy hunting.

It is 21:15 in Beijing. We have 45 minutes to go. My finger is raw from hitting the F5 key last few hours. I have OCD.

I am sure they will still be available at 11AM Eastern Time.

[Egon]

I too would be interested in coupons.  Can compensate.  PM me thx

[Johnsinkler82]

I too would be interested on a coupons.  PM Thanks.

Looks like Bitmain has the new listing for S3-B4 up on their site, reflecting the new pricing of 0.65 BTC each. I suppose the next 30 minutes is gonna be passing pretty slowly for many of us

This was the address they used last time for orders coming in from bitpay. It was fascinating to watch them come in real time. https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZ?sort=0#

and only 0.0025 cheaper than Batch3
0.725- 10% = 0.6525BTC

Can it perhaps a little more to raise ?  0.8 BTC  would be even better.
I wanted to buy 6 pcs, but I do not buy none.

I look forward to a more realistic price that can not be increased every two hours.
