Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
anyone managed to login into bitmain website?
i did ant it was ok? but they should let us know about any changes in the website because of pishing historial. Its a question of loyalty towards costumers. I respect my costumers.Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
Can someone recommend a temporary fan replacement, I received an S3+ today but one of the fans is DOA, it worked a bit but died shortly afterwards. I currently have it swapped out for a PWM 120mm from a spare liquid cooling unit I have lying around, but it isn't as fast and not nearly as much airflow as the ones it comes with. Easy to tell, as RPM on replacement is max around 1200-1300, and the temperatures are a few degrees up over norm at stock speed vs my units on overclock that are running cooler.
I have contacted Bitmain, I'm sure they will reply Monday. But in the meantime I need to keep the unit running but I don't want to overclock it with this current temp replacement.

I have suitable fans for the miners. I can send it to you for 20 euros (this includes the postal costs in registered mail) shipped from Portugal. Cant make less because postal services here are very good ripping ou rmoney. Send me a message if interested and i send you the picks of what i have. Thank you.

Hi CrazyRabbi,
We have no comments before looking into your case, it is better you PM us your order ID and tracking number to double check.
It is no possible that we didn't process refund if we agree to a reasonable request.
Miners must be shipped out if we didn't accept the request of refund.

And this, seeing as it's "gripe time" for Bitmain today........
@ ckolivas: You my good man, are a LEGEND! I'll be sending a small donation shortly - excellent work & many, many thanks
It's amazing to think that it took you less than 5 hours to produce something that Bitmain failed to do after promising to do so over 3 weeks ago......
Anyone who uses this, please consider giving ckolivas a small donation for helping secure your S3's from security risks, improving their performance & ensuring your hash power goes where it's supposed to go.
@ Bitmain: Please upload updated firmware releases for both S2 & S3 units that incorporate the latest cgminer as you said you would. Not everyone of your users has the technical know-how to install ckolivas's latest work, a firmware update image is much more user friendly and will enable everyone to benefit from the latest cgminer security fixes & performance improvements.
Thanks, in anticipation......
Which part of S3 screen i find the place to replace the file? Software folder? Is just download a copy and rebbot the system? thanks in advanced.I don't have the build environment to create a full binary image, and the code will need a LOT of work to actually become part of mainline cgminer it seems, but for the time being here is a link to a bugfixed binary of cgminer 4.6.0 for the S3 based on the bitmain code. Copy the file into /usr/bin/ on the S3 overwriting the existing one:

Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
im starting to suspect hashnest and their promotion of a scam. 2 days and i havent recieved any free hashes . im starting to suspect its just a way to manipulate people into checking their site out since one of hasnest demands is to make a account there. is hashnest starting business with a scam right in bitmains thread? i havent recieved nothing and if you look around theres more people complaining about the same thing. bitmain can you clarify this issue please? is there anyone who got hashes from hashnest ? come forward and speak .
I'm not sure it's a scam. But it's certainly not a good idea to "invest" into. It'd be the same as me telling folks to sent me 1.6 BTC, and over the course of the next year and I'll slowly send most, but not all, of it back to you.

The way i face the constant growing difficulty of bitcoin mining is rent my machines. I put a bit more of profit otherwise i would prefer to mine for myself as i consider the possibilites of Bitcoin biz almost endless.
So, i ask what is the profit to make contracts with this kind of companies? For sure they dont set them up to loose money otherwise i would prefer to mine for myself which means the costumers dont profit that much if nothing.

Hello Bitmain,
I see you have uploaded the latest cgminer source code here: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer
Can you please tell everyone how to upgrade their S2 & S3 miners to this latest version with the security fixes? Or are you releasing a new firmware for the S2 & S3 that will include this cgminer version?
Many Thanks, IYFTech.

Agree with this post BITMAIN, and as newbie, and for sure a very good part of us, i would suggest a firmware with the newest version, its more easy for us newbies.

Help please.
I use allways 2 psu for each of my S3. 1 psu for each blade. Lately one of my S3 turns of in the sideof the controler board. Today it happened again. When i went to take of the psu to check it it was melted and couldnt take it off without cut the wires.
I use the same model psu's for other antminers S3 and never happened that. I also cross green and black wire and never got problems with that.
Does anyone knows why this could happen?
Thank you.

Power efficiency is important if you plan on using 1 year or more, the EVGA can make it back. And better re sell value.
1000 watts use with Gold versus Plus PSU saves 100 watts per hour, at 24/7 for 1 year is $140.00 usd savings if your electricity cost is .16/kw
Any links to buy into Portugal-Europe? Thanks.1000 watts use with Gold versus Plus PSU saves 100 watts per hour, at 24/7 for 1 year is $140.00 usd savings if your electricity cost is .16/kw

would this power supply work well for the AntMiner S3+?

http://www.eyeboot.com/Bitcoin-miner-Accessories/6-pin-power-supply
In addiction to your question:
Does anyone knows or advice a power supply with around 2000W and with several PCIe to connect more than 1 antminer S3? I saw it in a forum but i lost the link. Its much more pratical as i dont need to have a room full of psu's.
thanks.
EVGA 1300 powers 3 Ants with plenty of PCI-E modular cables, great PSU...

I am planning to buy S3 batch 8 from Bitmain's website. Has it been all good experience lately or are there horror stories?
I've bought from BFL before and they kinda ruined me so I have to be cautious.

There's one horror story:

Take into consideration before buying.
What do you suggest to deal with that trully horror story? Thanks.

Anminer s3 bricked after firmware upgrade.....
a firmware upgrade was performed on my s3 and now it seems to be bricked. no way to login to it in current state. not really sure what protocol seems to be at this point i have contacted Bitmain several times (on bitcointalk, the bitmain site, and via RMA email) about this issue with no response.
aside from using it as a paperweight, anyone have suggestions on how to fix or get it going once again...is this s3 bricked state even fixable ?
thanks in advance for all input and help.

Chances are very less to brick. Did you switch the power supply off while the upgrade was happening?
The possibility is that your miner ip reset back to the default 192.168.1.99.
And try with that ip address If that's not working you may possibly have an ip conflict.
Do a factory reset via the small button in front of your S3.
I tried the factory reset on one machine, yet I can't seem to login. I just get the LuCI black screen. Also, there is a yellow and green light above ethernet port. Any ideas?
Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
Looks like i will be ordering 7 of these upgrades.
Not a bad price of about $250 per.
Dont want to put anybody insecure with this but i would rather prefer to sell my Antminer S1 at a lower price and with that money and the money available for the upgrade buy a brand new 1 Antminer S3. Its about to maintain new equipment at home which doesnt mean the upgrade is bad. Is like to buy a brand new super computer or buy the same model with 1 year use.Not a bad price of about $250 per.
Re: Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip
hi 1 of my s3s are not connecting right to the network or the pool . because the light is an consistent red . not blinking or green . just stable red How do i fix this. What does this mean.
Connect one S3 and shutoff all the other ones connected to your router/switch/modem.
Go to Antminer S3 web interface via your S3 ip address.
Do a firmware update and when its finished shutdown your Ant S3 then, shutdown your computer, modem/router/switch, etc.
Now start the Antminer S3, start modem/router/switch, then, start computer.
Login again to Ant S3 web interface and put your pool details on miner configuration page.
Save and Apply and wait for 5 minutes then look whether its working now.
If not working go to your WAN page, do the below.
Correct your default gateway in S3, you can look at your computer default gateway if your computer is connected to the same modem/router/switch or use the ip address of the modem/router/switch your Ant S3 is connected to.
Replace the already existing DNS entry with 4.2.2.2 and add another DNS entry and put 8.8.8.8 there.
Save and Apply. Wait for 5 minutes and check whether its working.
If not working go to the Diagnostic Page ( Network->Diagnostic tab ) click on the ping button.
when ping is completed take a screenshot of the below pages and post them back here.
1. S3 Diagnostic Page
2. S3 WAN Page
3. S3 Miner Stats Page
4. S3 Log Page"s"
5. WAN/INTERNET stats page of your modem or router connected.
6. Go to your computer connected to the same router/modem/switch/wifi your S3 is connected and go to command prompt, enter ipconfig /all and take a screenshot of it and post here.
PS: Hide your Public IP address from all your images. IP address can be found by google "MY IP".
I did what Allcoinminer suggested and which i a very gratfull for helping me out going this struggle. After i set up the 2 DNS entries i just gave a resset on machine (touched the resset buton for about 2 or 3 seconds) and then i reconected the machine, changed to my desired ip and in the middle of this i gave it also a reboot and it started working properly. I found this very strange as the previous batches were like plug and play no need to make this kind of changes.
