I just purchased a 20 pc S3+ B9 Quote from: Bitmain Tech Hi, No discounts are offered, even though I've bought from them miners for more than 70BTC0.58btc per unit and no discount is offered. place order in our website directly. Best Regards BITMAIN Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: whonesta on September 16, 2014, 11:52:03 AM Looks like Bitmaintech sold, and from the looks of it not going to be good for small miners. No price break and even though product is overpriced I have been asked to be patient. I for one have made my LAST purchase from china. Can not wait till these mega farms kill each other off.

Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: denisj on September 16, 2014, 01:40:22 PM I just buy 2 pcs of B9 today, and I hope they
send it as soon is possible. In the mean time can I ask something please ... can I use only 1 PSU in order to overclock (just to arive at 500 + 500 ghs) ? If yes... witch one is a good for this please ? Thanks a lot Denis Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: J4bberwock on September 16, 2014, 07:58:24 PM I just buy 2 pcs of B9 today, and I hope they best bang for bucks are always server PSU's with breakout boards.send it as soon is possible.

Thanks a lot Denis If you prefer a standard ATX, search google for PSU review. There is also a PSU review from Dogie, if I'm not mistaken.

Not cheap but silent.

Why do you say that? Bitmain is by far the best for small and large setups. Dollar wise and W/Gh wise Bitmain destroys everyone else. What have you been patient for? B8 shipped 10 days early. Why are you complaining about the only worth while manufacturer???I was one of the last to order from B8 and it shipped last night. B9 is set to ship the 18th and I have no doubt it will be on time. BITMAIN WINS! Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: denisj on September 17, 2014, 08:53:43 AM Sorry J4bberwock ... with "server PSU's" do you mean a realy PSU from servers ? ...sorry but I'm start this days :-)
I ask you because i have some IBM eServers 346 that I don't use and maybe I can use this PSU ... If I remember I have 2 X PSU for every server. Thanks a lot again Denis Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: TvaiX on September 18, 2014, 04:21:42 AM Sorry J4bberwock ... with "server PSU's" do you mean a realy PSU from servers ? ...sorry but I'm start this days :-) I ask you because i have some IBM eServers 346 that I don't use and maybe I can use this PSU ...

I like supermicro servers, so I have spare parts from them and use PSU from it, but it was DIY projects to figure out pins and make it work for S1. And they are loud. I made little quieter switching to bigger fans. Title: Re: ANTMINER S3+ -B8 VS ANTMINER S3+ -B9 Post by: Gogreen on September 18, 2014, 11:33:02 PM To be on the safe side , just buy a good pc psu like cosair rm 750 , rm 850 or rm 1000w. Quick and easy . Just plug in the pcie slot and mine.

BITMAIN WINS! Actually, AM Tubes are cheaper per Gh/s than S3s and are always available for immediate delivery. The S3s are more efficient though. I posted the following earlier in the Spondoolies thread to show how crap the SP20s are: Let's assume a static network hash rate of 300 Ph/s, power costs of 0.1 USD/kWh and an exchange price of 500 USD/BTC. SP20 costs 2.64 USD/day, SP35 costs 8.4 USD/day, S3+ B9 costs 0.86 USD/day, and AM Tube costs 2.16 USD/day. SP20 at 1700 Gh/s would mine 0.0204 BTC/day or 10.2 USD/day, SP35 at 6000 Gh/s would mine 0.072 BTC/day or 36 USD/day, S3+ B9 at 453 Gh/s would mine 0.005436 BTC/day or 2.72 USD/day, and AM Tube at 800 Gh/s would mine 0.0096 BTC/day or 4.8 USD/day. SP20 would make 7.56 USD/day profit, SP35 would make 27.6 USD/day profit, S3+ B9 would make 1.858 USD/day profit, and AM Tube would make 2.64 USD/day profit. SP20 costs 1,500 USD inc. PSU + shipping, it would take 199 days to break even, SP35 costs 4,035 USD inc. PSU + shipping, it would take 147 days to break even, S3+ B9 costs 320 USD inc. PSU + shipping, it would take 173 days to break even, and AM Tube costs 500 USD inc. PSU + shipping, it would take 190 days to break even. With the SP35s not being shipped till November and the SP20s being shit value, it basically comes down to how long you have to wait for the S3s. If the wait is too long, you'd be better off getting an AM Tube.

After much thought I ordered the s1 upgrade kits. It keeps getting harder to ROI. So hardware cost and power become much more important. again---- nice work. 8) |
