Just curious what kind of setup everyone has.

For me, as of this post... I have three 1 Th/s Dragon miners along with a Prospector200 @ 200 Gh/s and a small rPi rig I use for fun at around 10 Gh/s for a total of 3.2 Th/s.

I also have four S3's I ordered from BitMain, 2 of which should be at my collo guys place tomorrow.

All in all when everything's said and done I should have around 4.97 Th/s assuming everything hashes at spec, even if not I can still realistically expect around 4.89 Th/s. This assumes each of the four S3's only hash around 420 Gh/s which some people have been reporting.

Currently running Antminer S1, Antminer S3 x2, 4 R-Boxes and 4 Antminer U1's (I need something to play with my Raspberry Pi's!) :)

I also have 8 retired block erupter USB sticks and two retired AsicMiner Block Erupter Cubes (which besides the need for a stratum proxy I think are very good devices, extremely stable and great workhorses it's just too bad that they're so inefficient). So anyone willing to buy those Block Erupter Cubes? ;) They'd be great if you have little to no power costs!

Me and my collo guy have an arrangement for $1 per 50w ;-p

Also, seems like you got a nice setup.

Jupiter, SP10, SP30.

How are he SP's treating you ? Haven't heard much on them as of late other than people talking about maybe buying some.

1x Jupiter (Oct, custom voltage/clock) 2x S3's (stock) 1x S1 (pencil mod/250M)

Antminer S1 ~ 1.05Th/s

2 Block Erupter Cubes ~ 42Gh/s (on overclock)

I also have three 333Mh/s usb erupters that were running but now are just pointless.

7 GH/s Butterfly Labs Jalapenos, amongst other things. I keep them running to use up spare Amps at the data center where I have other miners. Each Jalapeno uses up about 0.5 Amps.

s1, lk, s3

Alot of what you guys have sound pretty nice. When I started it was with a rPi and I think Gh/s, now I will have close to 5Th after everything else arrives.

6x S1's, an S2, 1 BTCGarden 620ghash's

In total of 2.8Terahash's

They are treating me very nice. Not a single reboot needed since I have them and they do just fine in warmer climates too. After the Jupiters who already gave me a BTC ROI the SP miners are the best choice that I made regarding mining.

1XJupiter,3Xs1,3Xs3.   2.5T

I was concerned about them because of how "tight" they look like they might no get great air flow, why I never seriously looked at them.

72 Antminer S1's / 70 Gridseed's / And 22 GPU rigs...that are currently for sale  :D

As I was reading that the first thing in my head was wtf lol

That's some serious freakin hardware man, why you selling if I may ask ?

Since you are referring to the SP10 miners you should know that their "tightness" creates a negative pressure inside the case which helps with better airflow and lower temperatures than in a normal unpressurized case. The SP10 are the most robust miners and everything around them is build for being datacenter ready/server grade quality.

Im using my amazing and reliable Diamond Pickaxe and an anvil for repair :) I've sold my hardwares, only 1 ant S1 left :/

GPU farm, mostly R9 280x and R9 290... yes I know the profit drop a lot and I am going to shut down soon and  :(

  yeah I helped to get you started back in 2013.

usb sticks IIRC.

You now have a lot of gear!

I am now

  1 dragon hosted_________ 1.00th

I'm sorry, who are you ;-p

And nice gear... ill have two S3's runnin today and two more tomorrow puttin me at around / close to 5Th assuming all hashes well.

Also, have u tried to get stock 440 on those S3's ?

Still running my Jupiter and a whole bunch of Zeus scrypt units.  I suggest everyone stay the hell away from Zeus, their mining products have been an absolute disaster.

my batch 4  s-3's run well at

 freq 218 = 440gh

 freq 225 =  460gh

 freq 237 = 478gh

my batch 1 s-3's  only do well at 212

How do you have yours powered ? Like one PSU two two units etc.

Had 3 X S1 Overclocked.

Now 1 X S1 Overclocked, and 6 X S3 stock

2 x Antminer S1 - purchased in April, sold last week
1 x SP10 - purchased in May, sold Monday
5 x Antminer U2 - purchased in March, still trying to win the lottery (running in a powered USB hub with an rPi controller)
8 x Antminer S3 - purchased 2 in batch 1, 3 in batch 4 and 3 in batch 5.

The S3s are finicky and nowhere near as reliable as my S1s or my SP10.  Those were set it and forget it.  These require you to babysit them until you find the hash rate that makes them the happiest, and each unit is different.  Once you find that happy place, they're good to go.

S3_1 - 475GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_2 - 473GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_3 - 453GH/s (225 clock)
S3_4 - 441GH/s (218.75 clock)
S3_5 - 429GH/s (212.5 clock)
S3_6 - 454GH/s (225 clock)
S3_7 - 469GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_8 - 452GH/s (225 clock)

I'm running those S3s on 2 EVGA 1300 G2 PSUs (3 S3s per PSU) and 1 Corsair HX1050 (2 S3s per PSU).  I run them in my home.

I'll have two of the four S3's I ordered up by tonight I hope. They just got delivered to my collo guy.

2 LKETC Dragons (1 runs at 1 TH/s the other around 950 GH/s)
6 Module Jupiter 1530 GH/s
11 S3's all around 440 GH/s
2 Bitfury rigs (360 GH/s and 300 Gh/s)
2 Habanero boards 1.35 TH/s

So 1950+1530+4800+660+1350=10290 GH/s.

I use evga 1300 psu's they are running 2 s-3's each.  I plan to see if they will run 3 each as i will order 2 more s-3's in a day or 2.

The EVGA 1300 G2 runs 3 S3s no problem at all.

yeah they ran 3 overclocked s-1's real easy.

What would you say the at wall is on the OC'd S3's on a 1300PSU is ? Curious if thats around the 80% 24/7 rule of thumb.

One AntMiner S2, overclocked.

And 3xR9 290 for DRK mining...
And 1xFX-8350 for XMR mining...

Selling GPU's off to add more Antminer S1's or whatever else used sells for a price that ROI's
Sad part is until Ant S1's dropped so much in price (under .17 now) even with my free power nothing would ROI for me.

Current Hardware
- 5 KNC FrankenJup modules
- 4 Bitfury rigs (12-15 cards each)
- 1 BitMain S2
- 1 KNC Neptune with 3 boards
- 10 Gridseed USB thing-a-ma-jigs

Ordered Hardware
- 3 BitMain S3s (I swear, my very last order, lol)
- 1 BFL 1TH Monarch plus compensation 600GHs Monarch

Current Cloudmining
- 1200GHs PBMining
- 2000GHs Lunamine
- 600GHs BFL (compensation for late Monarch)

Retired Gear
- 70 AM USB sticks
- 10 BitMain U1 sticks
- 5 Bitfury sticks
- 8 AM Blades
- 3 BFL 60GHs Singles
- 3 BitMain S1s

Refunded Gear
- 1 600GHs Monarch
- 1 27GHs bASIC


All but the KNC Neptune (original unit), the USB sticks, AM Blades and first 2 Bitfury cards were bought with earned BTC. I've had an overall positive ROI for many, many months. I did sell an early BFL Little Single for a huge profit that I reinvested in BTC.

Good lord man, thats alot lol

You are one dedicated miner. Hats off!

2 AntMiner S1's, stock settings, kept under glass, each on a Cx750.



In the next week or so I'll (finally) be ready order 3 S3's which should run off of the 2 power supplies (they've had 3 S1's on them before with few issues).

I held on to the 2 S1's with the hope that Bitmain would sell an upgrade kit.
It's likely that the 2 remaining S1's will be listed on ebay when it gets closer to S3 delivery time.

In regards to the S1's there was mention of upgrade kits at one point. I'd send them an email and ask.

got ~10 th
dragons, btcgarden v1s, s1s, btbfs, rboxs, r3, r4, am blade (retired), ccdesk

and 100mh
hosted war machine and inhand x6 44mh
power hogs, roi difficult, lol :)

and some gpu (750ti, 280x) few cards
retired, in sale :)

collecting old miners, pm me if you have some

"In regards to the S1's there was mention of upgrade kits at one point. I'd send them an email and ask."

Thanks, MoreBloodWine.

(I've emailed them).

But apparently their power supplies are already beginning to fail

I don't recall if I mentioned this but I just recently added four S3's to my collection so now I'm running 9 things at almost 5Th/s.

Nice, you must have a really good cooling system going on? Air Con?

Hosted at a friend of mines business who run a bunch of server stuff. So can't say for sure but temps on everything stay around low 40c.

S3-1: 42
S3-2: 43
S3-3: 43
S3-4: 43

Prospector200: 53 <-- This ones actually at his house in the basement, he had to take it home a few weeks back to work on it.

Dragon-1: No Temp Lead
Dragon-2: No Temp Lead
Dragon-3: No Temp Lead

Then the 9th device is an rPi at my place I play with for fun.

Once I get him to allow port 22 I can OC my S3's to try and get ~500 each. I got lucky with mine and go four units hashing ~440 on stock freq, so they should OC ok.

If I can OC each one to ~500, I'll gain around 240 additional Gh/s all while still paying him he same amount which is $1 per 50w.So basially for the 1Th Dragons @ 1k watts he gets $20 a month per Dragon while averaging $460 a month per Dragon.

Ok, so I've got a response from Bitmain.

Me:
"Are there any plans to sell an upgrade path kit from the S1's to S3's?

Thank you,
_Miracle"

Bitmain:
"Hi,
Is being developed, will open sales soon.

Best Regards
BITMAIN"

Me:
"Thank you for the response. Do you have a time frame? Days, weeks or months?
 Will there be a minimum order requirement?

 Wishing you well,
 _Miracle"


Bitmain:
"Hi,
Please wait for our official news :)

Best Regards
BITMAIN"



Guess I'll be keeping at least my original S1 but not holding my breath for the upgrade kit...patience isn't my best virtue, I'll order a couple S3's

(~11TH depending on what's broken in any given week.):
Bitfury (original stuff from Dave/megabigpower) x 2 kits: 800GH/s
KNC Jupiter (batch 1) x 1: 550GH/s
Bitmaintech Antminers x 15 (various batches throughout Jan/Apr): ~450GH/s (sold 12, underclock remaining)
Bitmaintech Antminer S2 (batch 1): ~1TH/s
A1 based Innosilicon miner x 2 (aka Dragon): ~2TH/s
lketc produced Avalon G3 miner x 3: 2.1TH/s
Canaan Creative ("Avalon") G3 based modules x 11: ~3TH/s
Bitmaintech Antminer S3 (batch 1): ~1.7TH

That look on your wife's face when she sees a $1,100 power bill: Priceless

HA! Been there, done that. Always bring flowers when it is power bill time.

I'm still running ASICMiner erupters (and a couple AntMiner U1's) totaling about 7GHs  ;D

Ya, but then she sees the flowers and knows whats up so goes for the hot skillet LMAO

im on one 280x GPU

I didnt think a lot of people still mined with GPU's.

I have here 3 x Bitmine Desk 1TH = 3TH

and 10pcs gridseeds dual miners, not using those for btc but scrypt = 3000MH/s

For all you S1 owners....

https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=0002014081313175081722f1GeUO063F

nice gridseeds you have, 150Mh/chip?

i have 3x Antminer S1s (all ROI) and still running

2x Antminer S3s payed for by my S1s

and next week, ill have the mined coins to buy 3x S1 upgrades..

everything OC with aprox speed of 1.5T
