@ Bitmain:
How about taking that piece of junk firmware off your website before someone else makes the same mistake I did & tries to update their S3's with it?
I just spent 4 hours upgrading then downgrading all my S3's because, once again, you release firmware that is completely untested.
One is not amused

Here's some info. I learned this morning regarding the new November firmware. There's a temporary fix for the new firmware to prevent the low hashing. Set the AntMiner S3 to the default speed and put in 0725 in the voltage (from default 0770). I was still having a problem on one of my S3+ with the fix set, that had Pool Balance setting set to Balanced from Fail (default) that was still doing the slow hashing, but when I selected Fail and rebooted it's been hashing at full speed so far. Finger's crossed.
That's great. A temporary fix to fix the broken new firmware that was released to fix the previous broken new firmware.....maybe.
Nah. I'll pass.
I have a better & novel idea: Why don't Bitmain simply test any firmware release thoroughly before releasing it - instead of using their customer base as guinea pigs, knocking their miners out in the process? A bit like every other manufacturer does........much easier, simpler & customer friendly.
