looks more and more a question of luck you get a good one or you don't  .  my b4 do very well pushing  478gh at  237 clocks no drop off after 6 hours.  my b1 work best at 212 clocks   428 each

so  956gh vs 856gh   big difference.

I was in the professional center so I left it alone. figured if it is not broke don't fix it.  Just have the 1th machine  it was running so nice.

I will wait and see what he will do.  I never was billed for the june - july time period.  I will wait for that too.

my dragon miner is down it is hosted at  professional data center.  I can not sign into it to restart it.  reads server is down.   so far more then 2 hours

my dragon miner is down I can not sign in to it.

I was up for about 32 days in a row but now I am down.  will send a pm

this is a good price.

  what is the hosting fee after 1 month? $1.54 per day seems too low.


are you hosting on zencloud?

Link please?  I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what he meant now I am in suspense!

the first s1 looks weak  you are missing hash or info   the hw is 5980  which is okay only if you have a  diffA over 500000

your stats page should list hw diffA and diffR

  error rate = hw/diffA+ diffR      IIRC  so   I can't see your error rate.  my guess is that s-1 is not hitting on all asics  and has an x or 2 in the chain.  the other one is good.

Edit: the error rate is good.   I missed the small print of the time. a hw of 5980 in 18 hours is decent.

  I still think one asic is an x the gh should be a little higher then 121  it should be like your other one 128

try changing to freq 275  to see what happens.  I think the 127 will jump to 140.  not too sure about the one at 121.

you may be able to do one at

 freq 250>> gh of 121-127

  and one at  freq 275>>  gh of 140.

the weaker one may be what you can do at best.  the higher one can stand a bump to freq 275

no they do not.  how do you want to pay for one with paypal or  a cc?


there are good resellers that will   sell you one with a cc


this guy sold quite a few with a cc

I mine a few sticks here  around 16gh

and I have 6 s-3's  see the higher numbers on the bottom of the screenshot  these 2 are my best ones they do about 475gh each

My idea here is to take the unknown away for you.  So the ' will I get a good s-3 or a bad one ?' has been answered for you .

 I have 4 now  2 run at 237 and do 475gh no issues.

The other 2 like 212 and do 430gh no issues.

If you buy from bitmaintech what will you get a 430 machine or a 475 machine.  the truth is you do not know.   and lets face it   950 gh at 730-745 watts vs 850 gh at  645-660 watts  will make a difference in profits.

  So  my two are tested and run  at 475gh each  set to freq 237 using btcguild  and using the evga 1300 psu. So they are premium machines.

I am looking to gauge interest From the community.  

Would  you be willing to pay at a premium for a know better hashrate.

 For that matter

  what would you pay for a s-3  rated at 430gh  and 330 watts tested by me with an evga 1300 watt psu on btcguild

what would you pay for a s-3  rated at 475 gh and 365 watts  tested by me  with an evga 1300 watt psu on btcguild




 here is the deal  I have 2 batch 4 s-3's and an evga 1300 psu.

 I am offering a package deal  to lower 48 states only.  They will ship on thursday the 7th of Aug.

 I have them in house. I will photo in about 10 minutes.

looking to see price offered since these over clock to freq 237 well


here they are running on ant monitor
  feel free to comment make offers etc.

I will post undated numbers on the two premo machines in 1 day.




 2 units and psu



here is the gui for one of them



here is the gui for the second one

hi I used your link and purchased an s-3  .  I used your 20off250 code 


my zen cloud thread mentions it here

feel free to comment on my thread.

 best regards phil

yeah large variances abound form b1 to b4.

  my b4's are stable at 478+478 = 956  freq 237  power 700 watts  .732 watts a gh

my b1's are stable at 428+428 = 856   freq 212   power 656 watts  .766 watts a gh


I am lucky that the b'1s  are in a spot that running at lower freq was in my plan as sound and power use was limited.  (a friends office with power at an 84% discount)

For some  this big difference would be very annoying.

   

I believe I will order 2 more on weds or thur coming up. I think I will sell two on ebay along with an evga 1300 watt psu.

btc guild has ups and downs  due to pool luck.  but my totals have been


July 29th _____________> 0.00836575  first day partial BTCGuild
July 30th _____________> 0.01261531   "     "       "         "
July 31st _____________> 0.01237485   "     "       "         "

Aug  1st _____________> 0.01264922   "     "       "         "
Aug  2nd _____________>0.01262237   "    "       "          "


now that comes to about the same as


https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty  says you should get  .01237

this is why I mentioned that buying the s-3 to be activated on aug 8th for 449 using the discount codes and a cc is the best deal they are offering today.

tomorrow who knows.    Today I know of no deal for an s-3 with a better price.  If someone has a better please post it  as maybe gaw/zen will match it.

  

new gear
no news
not sure  if they run to the power advertised.


have to say if the boulder runs that low it could be good.


also have to say  that the antminer s-3 deal I mentioned above is very low price. 

I am looking to hedge risk and right now I am heavy on scrypt and lite on  btc.  But a boulder on a good sale tempts me.

  this is like the intel cpus the i5 2500k  if you got a good one over clock was easy if you got a bad one oh well.

I own 4 s-3's the batch 4 run great  2  close to 900gh 

the batch 1 run meh.  2 run close to 850gh

I would have an interest in buying a PickAxe if you allowed cc or paypal and If you did not do it as a long preorder.  2 weeks or less and  I would be in.

 Same as I asked to use with the sp30 and the sp10  as I still believe you sell the best gear. 

I caught  the march- april 2013 run nice.   I caught the oct - nov 2013 run nice.  I am ahead maybe 10k-12k.

I think  I do not want much more gear right now. I will keep this thread going  since I do think that gawminers are giving a good deal.  You need to shop them like you do amazon or newegg.

the aug 8th s-3 for 449 with 1 months free hosting is a good deal.  I will keep up the posts here  as best I can.

right now scrypt mining has me a bit scared/nervous.  I have 70mh + 32 mh.  The stability in price makes me want to back off a bit.

I listed 2 of my 14 in house  gridseed blades on ebay.  I am looking to increase s-3's.  the deal above for 1 s-3 is pretty good.

I now have 2 s-3's in house 2 s-3's at my friends office. 1 s-3 active at zen and a second s-3 to be setup on zen.  gives me 6 s-3's

and I have a dragon miner in china.

this is hosting not really cloud you own the gear and they will send it to you

So take the free hosting for the month and A ship it to your home or B let them host it for 90 cents a day.

you get this cheaper then anywhere for 1 unit.



I posted my newest purchase above

  here it is on the gaw miner website

So here is my thinking BTC is the king of coins. (more stable)

the s-3 is .68btc  must buy 2 = 1.36btc

order today direct from the manufacture   you spend 1.36 btc

for 2 you need to buy a psu.  your power cost will be 350 watts for each one.

the affiliate  I used for my 20 dollar discount is here

http://hoosierminer.com/gawminers-coupon-codes/

his best code is gaw25

if you want to go through his blog you can.  or

you can just go to gawminer direct.

Here are my thoughts  as of today.

   I am going to order from them again.

 I will post my order in about 1 hour.

 I think it is the best deal around.------ but we all know how that shit changes in mining.

Okay I placed an order 2 minutes ago.  here is a screenshot of it.


notice I used  a gaw affiliate to get a 20 dollar discount.

 it is a bitmain s-3 for 449 usd   - 20 bucks =  429 usd  I earned 4300 points for later that will further lower my 429 price.

I paid with a discover card that means 60 day protection from seller fraud and I have a 4% promo   so the 429 price drops to 411.84

I get 30 days free hosting.  In my house a s-3 will cost me more then 34 usd in power in a month.

 so the 411.84- 34 =  377.84 usd   right now of bitmaintech a s-3 =  .68 btc that id more money
