I received my A3 this afternoon and having been having some problems. When I first set it up, everything was working flawlessly. Hashing at 833GHs on Siamining, no HW errors, everything smooth. About 2 hours later I checked again and saw my hashrate dropped in half with a bunch of X's on one of the hashboards. Since then I've only been able to reach 500-600 GHs, and am getting HW errors on different boards whenever I refresh. Anyone else having issues? I would normally try reflashing the firmware but it's not available on Bitmain's support page.

Ya, sia coin developers were testing a soft fork to render the A3 useless. The total hashrate for the whole network dropped by almost half around 1:30PM EST. Hashrate dropped for all A3 on every pool simultaneously.

It is true that every A3 on every pool dropped the hashrate. But, I don't see how the sia team could do that. That would require coordinating with all the pools, including p2pool that is not very friendly. I talked with a couple of pool owners today and they were investigating this, but they still have no clue. My theory is that this is a bug in the A3s, that was triggered by the block they were mining on top of at that point. But who knows. Some are thinking of antbleed stuff, after all bitmain hasn't published the A3 firmware yet. I see it very unlikely, especially since A3s didn't stop mining, just started to get an awful lot of calculation errors.
