Just received my A3, hooked it up and doesn't seem to be connecting. Tried to go to Antpool, but there is no longer a Siacoin Pool to choose from the dropdown list. Are these A3 miners being blocked?

Tried with miningpoolhub, but nothing seems to be happening.

The hardware version says "Socket connect failed: Connection refused"

Looked into some other pools, but not really sure how you would go about hooking up an ASIC to those. Would I just put it like this:

URL:  sia-asia1.nanopool.org:7777
worker: my sia wallet address?Huh
password: x

Any insight would be appreciated.
Make sure you let it boot entirely. What you see in hardware version is usually because it hasn't yet booted up entirely. In my opinion nanopool is a nice pool. If you don't know what a cryptocurrency wallet address is you have some catch up to do Smiley


Brother, I'm not an idiot, pretty sure nobody has hooked an asic miner for Sia up to Nanopool. They only offer dual mining from what I've seen, so you have to do ethereum first and Sia 2nd for the set up option they have. I've only used Nanopool for ethereum, so not sure.

Anyway, i let it run with Miningpoolhub and its starting to go...slowly. The lights on the A3 were not lit, then the red would come on, then off, then the green would come on, but it would not blink like the S9 and L3+ to show its working. Will give updates
