So... it was said that S3 will only need 2 PCIe connectors to operate, or 4 PCIe if it is overclocked. We have now learned that overclocking by only 37GH/s makes it unstable to the point that Bitmain won't even do it or it could burn out. Does that mean at there really is no good reason to upgrade all PSUs to ones with 4 PCIe to replace S1 with S3??  -OCS As per the new situation one PCI-E cable is enough per blade. Even if its overclocked one PCI-E cable can easily handle it. Don't forget to check your PCI-E cable rating in you manual or cable itself. Most corsair PCI-E cables are rated at 600W. Also keep a hand on your cables to check whether it heats up to the point where you can't hold on. Thanks for your advice everyone, So then a "Corsair Builder Series CXM 750W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU" would be ok running 2 x Antminer S 3's then? Or am I getting confused? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ALK3QRSI would think running the PSU @ 91% is a bad idea, this will cause highest fan noise and lowest efficiency @ the wall. Plus CXM 750 is only 84% eff on 120V. I like the AX or RM class of Corsair, but I do pay alot for my "Juice" |

Frankly, all that I just wrote can also be found in the wiki. Uninformed people that base their opinion on their knowledge (or lack thereof) like you are the problem of this society.
Really that is the problem, hmm. Well I read the wiki and all I see is more infrastructure I have to maintain, more up dates, and more waiting for FW so my HW does not waste countless hours to make NADA. The thing that is wrong with society, IMHO, is jerks who hijack convos with annoying calls for information which has CLEARLY been stated as NOT AVAILABLE. Continuing to hammer the thread asking the same stupid question about a P2Pool functionality which is used by < 1% of the network is only meant to cast a negative light on a GREAT manufacturer. If they are SOOO worried why don't they BUY one and write the FW themselves OR WAIT until BitMain updates the status for S2/S3's to "P2Pool READY" IF they bother with such a marginal user base. AS FOR NOW http://www.eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/1CzqqXY4CDAhg9CY9gYzH1kCAHRcY3jrcm runs S1/S2's and SOON S3's very nicely. |

Whole pack of P2Fool douches in here lol.. you guys are morons waiting to be robbed.. GL and ignored
Actually, it is much less moronic to "trust" a decentralized p2p mining pool than your average centralized one. (Both in terms of network security and handling payouts) Anyway, I support the motion to call you names if you are really bitching about people that want promised information about a product in the thread of that product. Why is DOA shares SO high?  17% work loss AND 2% fee.. oh yeah this is the answer. Use Eliguis 100% FREE |

Would have liked it more if they had added a 2nd Ethernet port instead, then I could use it as a network router. USB dongles just do not work well enough for production.
Could one be wired up to the GPIO? No idea what that thing actually does. But if you want a router, just get a TP + a cheap switch. No idea on that GPIO either, thought someone would create a daughter card but nothing yet. TP would work, but for that money/power usage, I can just stick with the cheap Dell with PCI-e Giga-bit cards. |

Anyone appears "shipped" at Bitmain?
2014-06-30 14:11:35 --- Order Date And NO SHIPPING notice YET!! You'll probably see the status change from 'unshipped' to 'shipped' with the tracking information when you logon to your account at Bitmaintech's web site. Bitmain said that batch 1 would be shipped 14 to 17 of July. Cheers Been Logged in for 2-weeks.. But I am not concerned, just full of anticipation, BitMain has always been on the up and up. |

When can we pre-order SP50 machines ?

I think I saw someone earlier saying that it is p2pool compatible? Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are wrong. Let me clarify this to save any more confusion about p2pool compatibility:I have verified with Bitmain via email conversations that the current Bitmain firmware for both the S2's & S3's does not work with p2pool effectively or efficiently. I have also supplied Bitmain with information gathered from myself & many p2pool users as well as Kano (cgminer dev) & forrestv (p2pool dev, supposedly) in an effort to help Bitmain find a fix, and have also offered to help in any beta testing if required. This was done over two weeks ago, and there has been no news since then. Therefore, anyone wishing to buy Bitmain hardware for use with p2pool should wait until Bitmain have provided a fix, if they do. Peace  Isn't there a thread for P2Pool? Just how lonely are you guys, all day long talking crap about P2Pool. When(IF) P2Fool FW does come out I am sure you all will be the 4th or 5th to know. Gezz and to think I was going to try P2Fool, that is until I realized you had to become an annoying prick to use it. |

In the morning DHL delivered me three Antminer S3-s, I was in the batch 1 ordered the very first moment.
I ordered for two but in the packet there where three S3s.Maybe a bonus from BitMainTech or an accident?
Anyhow, there were no customs duty for me. I don't know why. DHL simply dropped in my place.
As they advertised, there should have a cover for the miner for air flow control, But in my three S3-s the cover was missing.
Also, one of them was little dirty and the fans came with dirt. The other two were brand new. The dirty one may be the S3 they used first for testing.
After all, the dimension of S3 is smaller than S1 and the body is build with plastic instead of metal. It weighs less than 500gms.
Its working hard on my desk, silently, there is no vibration due to the additional 4 rubber standoffs attached in the base
otherwise, due to low weight the noise of S3 vibrating on my desk may not be bearable.
Its hashing fine at 478/366. Overall a very good deal.
Todays was a pleasant morning, I was happy when I woke up, I got a good deal from BitMain, all credits to them.
Suddenly, I realised that, my pre-orders are still waiting for BitMainTech to ship. The hard think I realised, all the above was a dream.
So, much fun!
Ugh.. A$$-Hat... "Look at me, Look at Me" |

So the Best $/GH is now bunk, when we get actual power specs in 2 weeks will you FINALLY stop spamming the forum with this misleading title? Maybe "SP-T's the best looking, loudest, miner available in September" You know so you do not look like your misleading people...  |

opps
Washington-based MegaBigPower (MBP) is North America’s largest mining operation. The mine, which generates millions of dollars worth of bitcoin per month, began developing its franchisee network earlier this year. Now, the company is planning a broad expansion effort that could add as much as 50 PH/s in mining power per month to the network.
50PHs per month ? Doesn't look very feasible. +1 MegaBigPower is noted for over blown statements and since no chip was announced to support 50PH a month. Maybe everyone already has a cell phone so the foundries are looking for work.. |

9 BTC for 6TH/s in mid-July or 8.4 BTC for 6TH/s in mid-september.. hmm tough one... NOT
Sorry SP30 going to need to dump a few grand before this is a deal.

.015 BTC per day should ROI in under a 100 days. I already had the PSU's from S1's so no additional costs there. 0.75 BTC is the hairy edge IMO.
Except its not .015 / day. At 15%, starting July 15 its ~ .01164 These are very unlikely to ROI @ .75 BTC each Really and you know what the diff will be how? Network has been under 6blks/ hour for 23 hours how does that equate to a 20% rise again? |

ROI on these?
at .75 Btc at avg 20% increase and 10 cent KWh
do these ever make the btc back?
.015 BTC per day should ROI in under a 100 days. I already had the PSU's from S1's so no additional costs there. 0.75 BTC is the hairy edge IMO. NOW where are the COUPONS!! Id check that math again...They will NOT roi if difficulty increases @ 20%. Well Christ I do not believe Diff will continue to rise @ 20%, as of this increase network has fallen on it's face and is running under 6 blocks per hour and has been for almost a day. That 25% increase KILLED the last of the FPGA/GPU miners. Anyone running a BFL single is going to be shutting them down SOON. My 2 60's earn approx $2.04 USD per day, but cost me $1.15 USD so they are on eBay as we chat. |
