Has anyone tried the new firmware? https://bitmaintech.com/support.htm?pid=007201407180243004432lBQW28O0633

All of my 15 Antminer S3 (Batch 4-6) work great with this new firmware.

I'll wait until they sort out the MD5 problem. Can you tell me what version cgminer is in there? Cheers.

the same, 3.12.0

What? Why on earth are Bitmain still using this old, outdated, inefficient & security flawed cgminer version in a new firmware release? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.....

@ Bitmain: You promised the community that you would update to the latest cgminer version that fixes the security vulnerabilities and includes many improvements weeks ago - yet you are still using it in a brand new firmware release? Cgminer version 3.12 is not safe to use & is inefficient - please use the latest version as you promised us you would.

Edit: This firmware adds support for the S3+ - does that mean that you will be shipping all S3+'s with known security issues & outdated cgminer software?

Could you elaborate on what the security issues are, and what you mean by ineffecient?

I don't mean to be lazy, but if I read through the boards on these issues I'll likely find lots of conflicting information.

Security issues... What if I'm behind a Barracuda Firewall?

Inefficiency... Meaning a more current version of Cgminer would hash faster?

Many thanks,
