41  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Shoud I buy Dragon Miner on: July 06, 2014, 04:33:50 PM
The best deal in the market for 1TH is the s3..
Could you give me more information about this asic please  Undecided

Yes I can give you info on the s-3.

It is the big brother to the s-1.

You need an ethernet connection and an atx psu.

they sell in two packs.

the thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=656461.0

the sellers's website is:

https://www.bitmaintech.com/product.htm   he is in china and only takes BTC

An USA reseller:

http://zoomhash.com/products/coincraft-a3-miner

He takes cc and paypal.  charges more for it.  He allows for you to buy just one





What part of the world are you in?   I am USA, New Jersey

what does your power cost  mine is 14 cents a k-watt

But I need 1 TH/s asic  Wink

Gee if you cant make out the four corners of a table after one has been pointed to you maybe you shouldnt be mining...

2 x s3 makes 0.956 TH close to 1 TH.. 946$
Buy a Raidmax 1000w PSU 99$
Total cost 1135$...

A dragon 1TH costs 1400$ if you buy direct at lketc..
100-300 More $ if you have it shipped...

Two s3 are cheaper relatively same real estate
And more importantly consumes 200-300W LESS electricity.

Cheaper unit price cheaper electricity...
Idk how lketc is going to sell anymore units if they do not slash prices soon.
By the way,could you show me how to connect 2 that asic to my pc,can I use my laptop instead?(But it just have 1 Lan port)
After I setup succesful,can I just turn off the laptop and leave these asic do their work alone?
Thank you Smiley


You connect the S3 to an ethernet cable and power it with a ATX PSU, as you will be getting two or more, you will need an ethernet cable for each PSU and might as well get a sufficiently powerful PSU to power both.  You can connect the S3 to a computer via the LAN at the IP address e.g. 192.168.1.99 (default address) to setup for the pool you are mining on, etc...

HTH

Hello Everyone,
I am new to the mining community, started mining with S1 just a month ago.
Antminer S3 looks very promising machine, and will definitely order a couple.
I was wondering if you have any coupons to share?
Thank you.


I don't think there are any S3 coupons available yet, feel free to correct me.  Well, I didn't have any on my Bitmain account!  We would all have liked a coupon to use for our own purchase.  If you want an S3 (min two per order), you should go ahead and place an order.

I might be interested in an enclosure for 2 S1's and 2 S3's.  I'm in UK.  What's the price.  If you post as a flat pack it would be easy to assemble.

I've placed an order for 2 S3's from batch 2.  Hopefully, they will start despatching batch 1 soon (10th July) and quickly followed by the batch 2's. I like mining, I'm still running two S1's, which I will most probably keep running or maybe sell them on ebay.

I've got a Corsair RM850 which is running two over clocked S1's.  I was thinking of getting two S3's, and was wondering what PSU to get, I would like to get a PSU that has 8 PCI-e connectors.  What would you guys suggest for such a PSU?
If you like your Corsair and want to stick with the brand, the RM1000 and the AX1500i, AX1200i all satisfy your requirements.

Yes, I do like Corsair.  Obviously with 4 PCI-e per S3 we are overclocking, so which of those three would be suitable for overclocking the S3's?

47  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How many S3 are you planning to buy? on: June 22, 2014, 11:04:44 AM
I will definitely get 1 or 2.  But will they really require 4 PCI-e connectors for their power?  Can you get a PSU with 8 PCI-e connectors?
