How much can me earn per month with Titanium 2 - 3Th/s?
Exactly $0.  The product does not exist.

I went with the S3 and here's why:

1) Efficiency.  The S3 will consume less power (366 watts at the wall for 478GH/s).  I can run 3 S3s on a single EVGA G2 1300.  Only 2 R3s.
2) The R3 states it needs an rPi controller.  It doesn't state whether or not this is included with the purchase.  If it is not part of the unit, that's another expense out of pocket besides the power supply.
3) Price.  At 0.99BTC it's overpriced and you won't mine that difference back, even if you do get that R3 a week before the S3.

Thank you, and sorry you didnt get it, well im not really sorry, cause that will mean i wouldnt have gotten it...   Smiley jk

thanks!
LOL!  No need to be sorry... I should have jumped on RoadStress' group buy back in April... I've been kicking myself since for not doing so.  My fault for not jumping in when I should have.

Anyway, congrats again.  You got a hell of a deal Smiley

EDIT: just quoting that the deposit has been received...

I have received the deposit.

3644  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmaintech S1 Miner & Power Supply Fire (Nearly) on: July 08, 2014, 10:00:12 PM
Well actually 2 x S1's plus an S3

If ur saying that the S1's are 350w, 2 is 700w

Plus the S3 is 370w = 1070w

It is a 1200w power supply.
You will need 6 PCI-e connectors to power them all.  The S1 at stock clocks is 360W, so 720 for both.  The S3 will be about the same 360.

So... you have a 1200W PSU that has at least 1 of the 4 PCI-e connectors melted, so you're going to try to push 6 connections out of 3 ports.

The short answer to your question is no, don't do it.  You got lucky and caught the potential meltdown last time.  Do yourself a favor and get another PSU.  I'd suggest the EVGA G2 1300W.  It has 6 PCI-e inputs (8 total plugs) and will handle the 3 just fine.  Or, if you really want to ensure you don't blow things up, get 3 separate PSUs.  Why tempt fate by trying to push as much as you can out of a single PSU?
3645  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] Spondoolies SP30 August Delivery on: July 08, 2014, 09:26:34 PM
The lucky buyer is buckrogers. We've agreed to do the transaction in the open.

The price is 7.192 BTC. 25% (1.798) within two weeks. Balance to be paid when the miner is shipped to me. I will ship the miner to him overnight, insured, at my expense.

The buyer assumes the risk the miner will be shipped late, the buyer must still complete the sale or forfeit the deposit. The seller assumes the risk the miner will not be shipped at all and will refund the deposit. Failure to pay the balance when notified that the miner has been shipped to the seller will result in the deposit being forfeited.

Payments will be made to: 1GgcNddDyegXsJUpqPoZhhdYFbHxVVmbk4

The buyer and seller agree to work out any unexpected events in good faith. Buyer indicates agreement with these terms by paying the deposit.

(I'd appreciate it if at least one person would quote this in its entirety. Thanks.)

Quoting it again for double insurance Smiley

Congrats buckrogers!  I was hoping my offer would have been taken, but no such luck.

Ok now thats out of the way can u tell me how much power i'm using here per lead per blade??

2 units,

Each S1 has 1 x 8 pin from the power supply to the connectors on the miner u need to screw them into & 1 x 8 pin pci-e to 2+6 pins on the plugging into miners pci-e port.

I've got an Antminer S3 miner i wanna put on the same power supply if thats possible??
OK... you're asking if you can put an S1 and an S3 on the same PSU? (the one you showed pictures of in the first post)?

I said the evga was best.  its biggest flaw is it is a little loud .

I have a seasonic 1200 platinum it is better if you want a quiet psu.

but it is 290 usd.

 I can't find a  good sale . 

I use the seasonic on 11 gridseed blades pulls 900 watts for the 11 blades. the nice thing about it is 8 separate pcie cables

while the  evga uses 6 pcie cables.

 but 290 vs 153 or 170  and the evga wins out.


I assume it would be a bit quieter when not running full out - and it wouldn't be with the 2 S3s overclocked.  Bitmain's original specs for the S3 were 504GH/s at 390W from the wall.  Latest I read was that maximum overclocked draw was 0.981W/GH/s, so total draw would be ~1100 watts from the PSU, which might get the fans spinning.

In any case... I've got an SP10, so I'm very well acquainted with loud fans Grin

yeah that puppy is very loud. 

 I was running 7 s-1's clocked   to 393 freq house was hot and fans were really loud. 

And the wife was pissed off at the noise.
Oh I hear it all the time... the first time I plugged that SP10 in, she came in from outside on the porch and said, "What the hell is that noise?"  When I explained it was my new miner she said, "You have got to be kidding me.  There's no way I'm listening to that damn screeching." So, I tweaked the settings and put it in a corner in the basement.  Every day she'll still throw a comment out about not being able to hear me over the noise.  Smiley

Exactly... The only problem was i didn't know how much each rail would hold till this problem showed up.

So now each miner has 2 blades and both require a power lead to each blade.

So i run 1 lead each to each blade which = 4 leads.

Just a heads up to others out there cause u could burn your house down....
There's only a single rail on that PSU.  Philipma1957 said what I was thinking you did... and hence my confusion as to why you did it since the PSU has plenty of cables - and inputs (4 PCI-e plugs in the PSU) - to drive them both safely.

The simple fact is you pushed too much power through two cables that should have been handled by 4, and as a result melted things.  I'm glad you caught it prior to any damage to your home or yourself.
3650  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmaintech S1 Miner & Power Supply Fire (Nearly) on: July 08, 2014, 07:50:30 PM
The pci-e plugs i was using had was one lead from the power supply to 2 lots of 6 pin plugs on the other side.

My new way i'm running it to be safe is using 2 new pci-e power ports but i'm only using 1 lead with one blade, One the opposite blade i've used 2 x 8 pin cpu power leads, They just have 4 black & 4 yellow leads on them, so i chopped of the adaptor on one end and manually wired in the leads as stated in the guide from bitmain.

So now each blade has its own lead and plug rather than try to use 1 lead to power 2 blades...

U'll see what i mean when i post the pic's!
I'm confused.  The specs for that PSU state it has 4 6+2 PCI-e and 4 6pin PCI-e.  The S1 only needs 2.  Why aren't you using a single cable for each blade?  You've got plenty of PCI-e connectors, and 4 separate plugs on the PSU for them.  Why are you using, or trying to use, 2x8 pin CPU power leads?

Powering one of these in US residences will be tricky at best.  The optimal solution is if you've got a 240V / 30A circuit, which would supply 5760 watts continuously (80% of 7200), so you could drive 2 on that circuit.  Otherwise, you're going to have to get creative.  The typical household breaker is a 120V / 15A, which will give you 1440 watts continuous power (80% of 1800).

With the SP10, the firmware limits the PSU (but you can override it).  I'm wondering if the same will be available on the SP30.  Again, basing this on the SP10, the typical limit of the AC2DC is 1260 with DC2DC set to 62.  This might be different on the SP30 because of the different PSUs in the unit.  Anyway, what I'm getting to is that if you want to run this in a US home and do not have the 240V / 30A circuit, you're going to basically fully utilize 2 standard 120V / 15A breakers to power a single unit.

So, if you've got the space in your breaker box, your best bet would be to get in touch with an electrician and have a dedicated 240V / 30A breaker installed along with a NEMA l6-30 outlet, and then getting a decent PDU to plug your SP30 into.

Agreed on the EVGA G2 1300... I grabbed one of those $153 deals thanks to you Smiley.  I can run 3 S3s stock on that PSU, or 2 overclocked with plenty of power to spare.

I've got a Corsair HX1050 that currently runs my 2 overclocked S1s that will be replaced by S3s running stock.  The EVGA will run 2 overclocked S3s, and if I end up ordering another, I'll just drop the two back down to stock clocks and throw the 3rd on it as well.  Like philipma1957 stated, that's $51 per S3 on the EVGA, and the HX1050 has already paid for itself from the S1s.

3655  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is it still worth it to get something like an AntMiner S1? on: July 05, 2014, 07:19:55 PM
Remember that if you do purchase an S1, you will need to purchase a PSU for it as well.

This may seem like a simplistic approach, but if you're getting a whole lot of work submitted after the pool says "drop everything", couldn't you mitigate that by setting the queue depth to 0 in cgminer on the S2?
3657  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining rewards based on pool size on: July 05, 2014, 04:12:23 PM
Great article as usual davejh.

I think the final graph in the piece sums it up exceedingly well.  If you're an "investor" you go with any pool that has 10% or more of the total network's hash rate.  If you're a "gambler", you go with solo mining or the very small pool.  Most of us know this is true, but what I believe to be the very telling part of that final graph is that you DON'T need to mine on the largest pool - that the earnings curves from 10% on up are extremely closely spaced together.

First, I would throw a Linux distribution on that machine.  Ubuntu 14.04 is a good choice for beginners.  Once that was completed, I'd look through the forums here to find out information on the hardware you've got.  I don't know much about the Avalon and Block Erupters since I don't own any.  I can tell you, however, that the Antminer S1 is a stand-alone miner.  You just plug a network cable into it, plug it into a power supply and off it goes.

So..what PSU are you guys planning to use on S3 units? Is there any PSU that could power 2 of them with enough watts and cable slots (because 1 requires 4 PCIe cables if OCed of course), so 8 in total for 2 units.
EVGA G2 1300W PSU.  8 PCI-e connectors and plenty of power to drive 2 of them overclocked, or 3 running stock speeds.
You should be fine with any decent 1000W PSU, as it will most likely be able to even handle 3 units on stock settings.

3 units on stock voltage will pull under 980W on the 12V rail(s). Most 1000W PSUs should therefore be able to handle 3 units.
Specs for the S3 claim 366W per unit at 478GH/s... I think you'd be stretching that 1000W PSU running 3 on it.  2 wouldn't be a problem, even overclocked to 504GH/s (which if I remember correctly pulls 390W).

EDIT - it's 366W at the wall, so you might squeeze 3 stock from the 1000W PSU... still, a pretty tight fit for that PSU.
