What is the most profitable coin to mine today with an Antminer S1/S3?  There seems to be a large price division between an Antminer S1/S3 and the next rung up.  This of course could apply to similar age technology of other brands.

As someone said in another post, miners should come together make sure mining stays profitable for
(mid-size individual) miners (that seemed to be his gist).  Seems BTC was created from the ground up
like this, and many other coins have been very profitable as well, does it seem within possibility that
mining could always be profitable for early adopters, infrastructure creators, marketplace builders and so on?

So, are we looking at instant profit mining ZCL like we are now experiencing mining ZEC? 
I can mine Zec for two days and turn it into a decent amount of BTC.  Or, is it like Pascal coin where
I found four blocks/400 coins and waiting for it to go up? (I'm ok with that, too).

Sorry for my rant.  I could take time to edit or just delete it and maybe give up on this coin.  I am a "green" advocate so looking
at coins like this.

I'm kind of a newbie.  Granted, maybe there isn't much money in pursuing this for anyone, but I like when coins/teams are aimed
at newbies.  I think I added a node before, is that when you download a dat file separate from the wallet?  I'm embarrassing myself
to make the point that it would be good to have a self-contained wallet.

Google says:

The easiest way to connect to a node is to go into the debug window on the wallet client and enter the following command:
addnode ipaddresshere add.
addnode ipaddresshere remove.
Open %appdata%
Add or Edit .conf File.

Ok, I like learning tech stuff so I am game for maybe trying that at some point....but I've consulted/taught computers to mom and pop
businesses since 1994 and I know most people will not adopt something this complex.

well, I'm mining it now, and dl'd the wallet.   It says "no block source available" and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I have my asics mostly pointed to bitcoin and sometimes other things.  This was in a Earthcoin script I wanted to point a gridseed orb with no fan (hence no sha256) at bc I'm still trying to find good scrypt coins to mine. 

I am using this successfully:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eac.suprnova.cc:3515 -u name p pw --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=5 --hotplug 5

do you (or anyone) suggest I change anything?

stratum+tcp://eac.suprnova.cc:3515 Nicehash: 3516 ASIC: 3514

I am wondering what Nicehash: 3516 ASIC: 3514 means in this file.

Is it harder to mine this than Zcash?  Been trying it a little with several other miners going at once
and not getting much traction. 

Sitting Bull with a crucifix around his neck.  Wikileaks found some nasty anti-Catholic stuff coming from the Clinton campaign. 

I reset it while it's on, rebooted the computer and the router.   The previous owner said the name/pw was always root/root.

I am getting:

401 Unauthorized

Access to this resource is denied, your client has not supplied the correct authentication.

I tried the S3 root/pw and that didn't work, so it's the S1 that I'm using.  I am wondering if this is some
kind of hardware error as I got it on eBay for barely anything and it was listed as working.

Verbal contracts are binding.

The interface is different, it's the only other antminer, my other 2 asics are gridseed orbs, and I'm running
a bunch of cpu mining things and android. 

Harsh comments remind me of an English public school headmasters.  No ill will consciously intended just an unconscious fear the future of Britain will not be all it can be.  Of course, there are real scammers out there too.
 

Anyone know what this might be a sign of? 

This antminer isn't taking root/root after reset.

I think I have it solved.  I tried 192.168.1.1, that worked, but it's not taking root pw root.   Trying for the reset button...will lock thread after I get it running.

I am hashing with an Antminer S3 and I have an S1 that I would like to hook up also.  It's plugged in and lit up but the IP address, 192.168.1.99, isn't reading to get to the set up page.   The S3 has a different IP.   I'd rather not reboot the router as it doesn't seem like it could be the problem, and it cycle down several other mining operations.   Is that a possible solution?  Any other ideas?

See next few posts of mine for bounty information.

I am still getting worker not authorized so hoping that is a blessing in disguise.

Do you think low end scrypt ASIC miners can be profitable if used in a type of trading capacity after one is mining?
It seems they could come in handy to support some coins that may have value but not enough support?   There are
a lot on eBay now under $100.

Definition of profitable: like earning interest on a CD/Money Market with a good amount of capital, not "day job" work,
and liking the heat (in Seattle one often uses a heater even 8 months out of the year at times).

Would be nice to have the specs they're looking for posted in one place.

Mining it now, just a basic question since I'm mining DigiByte I'll ask it here.  If you get like 1 "accepteds" per minute or two and you have 7 gh/s  are you getting more "coin" that way, or is the pool kind of wasting your time?
