It would be really annoying if that was the case . Avalon wasn't supposed to be the end all. I was expecting avalons for print price and on to the next best thing so I'd hope he didn't put all his chips there.

I did on a good side do a google on barcodes and they can be bought reasonably cheap for about 20$ for a handfull of them on nationonwidecode.com . I didn't notice bitmain products having one so I don't know if they fudged the numbers to get on amazon.

If I do get stupid and get barcodes for at least my bitfury. I'll post them here and hope I scrapped the information off the drill bit store before he removes it(info goes into a database for the product s), so it can be done right. At least they provide U.S barcode and European EAN codes so I won't leave you in the dark.

If him and angus have been on holiday its been since early july U.S late Summer. Even when I'm on a holiday I still check my stocks  

I darn well don't want to sell them each .... too much support questions with no drillbit forum to point people to [though someone might be interested in an each price]. At least if Barntech knew he was going off grid for whatever reason we could have exported the forum elsewhere.

There's still people looking for u3 devices and ours do just as much as they still do. Why else would I have bought Barntech's item at prices he listed. Theres still devices built without control chip built in if you buy bitfury straight from bitfury.

Hey has anyone ever come across an UPS or EAN number for the drillbit devices. I'm trying to make a page for it on amazon to sell my 4 blades and miniplane and it won't let me pass without one. If someones already built one on amazon let me know what the page is and I'd add it to the used inventory.

I'd like to try for 75USD a Piece for my bitfury boards  [flat rate Medium box rate shipping USPS] or the set of 4 for 200USD+- with miniplane and same shipping option [flat rate medium box USPS]

Shipping estimates outside U.S might be 26USD+-[non business address] So I'll cross that bridge if I have to, but at least with Amazon I'm limited to the U.S and don't have to worry about import fees or paperwork.

Thanks for any info or offers

Hi , just wondering if the first few posts being solved is why its showing 21G as next difficulty is happening because of cleaning house. It sounds to good to be true but I'd love some easy bitcoin for a few days. EclipseMC is on day 3 of a coin and I can't get payed anywhere till that difficulty balances out.

Yea but 4 months without a peep is unlike Barntech and even then Angus would say something. He usualy would at least chime in every few weeks even if it was to clean spam. I keep telling Australian tourists to keep their eyes open just for my sake .

Apparently somethings going on with Barntech as the alternative forum is gone. I can only hope the bad news ends with the website and that nothing directly occurred with those directly associated with drillbit systems.

Xjo would be nice if there was a good conversion rate. Coinmine.pl shows xjo to btc much higher than in reality.

I know there's no such thing as a free buck( dollar ), but I'd mine Jule to the ends if their values were accurate.

Its easy to wifi. Its harder to hope you get one that works. Amazon sells one that come from china.

On another note did anyone notice on the v5 firmware that the s3's seem slower. I'm reading 395ish and they are still just as loud as at 440GH.

fix fixed those things. I still made sure to apply the speed settings just to make sure it was right.

O.k but whatever happened I updated 2 s3's and I had no buttons in mining config and an xml code error that I couldn't get around except by using internet explorer which seemed to iqnore the xml error.

If I go tweak and it runs I kinda wonder why they didn't change it up on the page yet. at least they fixed the v4 firmware so I didn't have to go set the default speed to get my miner up after flashing.

Any idea what changed in the newest version of bitmaintechs s3 firmware. it has a field for voltage and its not filled and there's no buttons to apply it if I knew the voltage.

I guess I'm going to turn back to v4 firmware and hope for an update soon.

Check ebay there. I'd think I'm not the only one trying to sell my boards though I'm in the U.S.

If you ask a question there Barntech may not answer but there are probably other still checking in on the page.

BTW his address was on the page... you could send a normal letter with signature confirmation to see if he's still there.

Check drillbitsystem.com/forum . They probably do and theres instructions for most of the known programs.

Just watch out if you intend to buy from drillbitsystem.com since Barntech, the person administrating sales , has not been posting since July. I wish him well  whatevers his reasons for silence.

Did shipping go up? It says 75U.S.D shipping. Any chance I'd get my miners faster with the increase or if I missed a coupon for discounted shipping.

I'd hope the s3+ hasn't raised too much in weight especially where the s3's were shipped in bubble wrap and not pre formed foam like the s1's.

Does it use the entire 1400 watts? Its probably since I asked about the tubeminer but bitmain products usually say the average power usage.

I was also wondering if this is a 110 device or if I need a 240 power plug (the same as a US laundry Dryer) to make use of this.

Could you at least find a way to plant a tree with a purchase. That 900 watts scares me at any price. I wanna see what the s4's going to run off.

At least you know they didn't completely take bitmains ideas since I'd think they could have kept up with your power usage or built in controller. With all the pictures they forgot to mention how its powered.

S3+ is cheaper with 10 extra hashing  and opertuninistic  500 gh overclock. Bitmaintech is charging in bitcoin so unless on the 20th they ask for the difference bitcoin is cheaper right now.

I  made the mistake of asking family members and I'll probably end up with paper stock instead of an s3+ so grab that offer before I do..

Dang I thought I was going to be first to ask that :p
