Way to go BITMAIN.

You sent me an S1 controller board instead of an S3.  Unless there's something I need to do to get this working.

I got in to configure, and also updated the firmware to the latest you have posted.  However on the status screen, it says the frequencies are 350 (like an S1, not 218.75 like it should be for an S3).  It's reporting twice the number of ASICs, but half of them are x's.  And hash speed is all 0.

Does anyone have any idea how to reprogram this so it'll work as an S3??  Or am I going to have to wait another 2 weeks while they send the RIGHT part for the unit that wasn't working right out of the box??

Another 2 weeks.  Another diff.  Sheesh.

At least my other 2 units are working reasonably well (although they're now hashing at around 220 GH/s - consistently.  Well below what was promised.)


I suggest emailing them. In my own experience I have had great success with replies from Bitmain. They might even have a solution for your issues. So far so good with my S3s (got 8 with 3 more on the way) +2 S2s in my small but growing farm. They have been consistently reliable with shipping sometimes shipping before the promised date. Their support generally is good. Just a thought. Of course speaking about my own experience. That might not be the same for everyone else. Just speaking for myself here.
