Is ANTMINER S3 good ROI to invest on it now?
I think it is, it could break even in 4 months

7.7% refund posted to my account just now. Pending....
Transaction now complete!! Mine still shows "Init". Scratch that. I just checked my wallet, it has been sent. It is "unconfirmed" right now. Refunds are sent from 13WHCm8DztmNGZ7XX1tbhUDss4WgRMVnrj.

Looks like the refunds went through. Not enough compensation if you ask me, especially for the people who have units that don't even meet the "downgraded" specs. Bob

I'll add my name to the "refund received" list. Refund transaction received at 11:03am EDT. Thanks Bitmain. Now, would you please ship out the batch 4 units I ordered? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Two units that won't hash stable over 415. Even offered to NAT two public ip addresses to the units so they could fiddle with them.

One can be accelerated to 237.5, but then one chip drops out (X). I am going to check the unit today and see if, perhaps, there is no or too little thermal paste there. If not, i will just leave it alone at 218.75/441Gh.

I just noticed my third unit hashing at 418 has an X, when i reboot it switches to " - " asic status.. resulting in my needed to do a hard power cycle from the PSU

However, if you ssh into it, you can issue the following: <enter/return> exit to get out of ssh and it will shutoff in 3sec (you can replace 3 with another number), with fans slowly decelerating over 20-30 sec psu OFF-ON boot after that is benign and does now screw up anything

Well i got my b2 order in, now i have to wait 3 hours until i get home to start playing with them ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) to people in canada wondering how much VAT ( custom + Tax ) fees. with a declared value of 947USD in Quebec for 2 miners i just paid 159$ CAD heads up, get your credit card ready. Have Fun Everyone and Happy Mining. I have been waiting weeks for this info. Thanks!!! So it costs $100 more that what two S1's use to cost for UPS customs/taxes and clearance at the door ($59) with CC in hand for UPS guy. not as bad as I feared.

Our Late Batch 2s should be arriving today as well. Nothing but labels for B3 so far. My B3 that were ordered on 7/11 arrived today. No less than 5 holds for customs review. Needless to say, I am excited!!
