435 is acceptable, but i have several unit can only hash at 400G
try setting them to freq 212.5 I had better luck with that setting. here is a thread on the loud beep issue https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=701338.0here is a photo of my 2 s-3's set to 212.5 you may find setting you poor hashing miners to freq 212.5 helps. I get solid numbers of 430gh you will also drop power by 10-20 watts.  |

from website "we will point your miners to whatever pool you specify. "
so that isn't true? and if it is true...then how can you deduct the hosting cost from it?
okay I have a thread I use zen cloud I will post the link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=698679.0read my link is should help you to decide. I went to zighash site this is the best deal I can find right now. http://zighash.com/collections/zenminer/products/1-month-free-zenminer-hosting-1x-falcon-and-1x-black-widow-40mh-sit is 40mh for 900 dollars. 1 month free hosting. my opinion is that deal is pretty good. assuming zighash pays the coins due. my deal was 27 mh for 600 dollars and 3 months free hosting. Also gaw miner gave me a courtesy gridseed blade hosted. I have purchased 6k plus from them and stopped using them. Frankly 40 mh for 900 bucks is pretty good. I have a question to zighash was this the discounted miner you offered? Or is there a bigger discount. |

Ok, still looking for answer if Corsair VS650 would be good to power 1 S3? I am not good with that stuff, so I will not be modifying server PSUs.
According to the table http://www.corsair.com/~/media/Corsair/download-files/manuals/DC_Cable_consolidation_Rev_28.pdf the VS650 has only one PCIe cable, and therefore is not suitable to run an S3. You need two PCIe cables, four if you plan to overclock (plus higher wattage). EDIT:- above assumes you don't want to use 4-pin molex to PCIe converters. Hmm I dont know then any other PSU good for powering 1 miner, can someone help me? here are photos of 1 cable into 2 pcie plugs this will over heat--------------- notice I leave one plug empty. I use the second plug for a gridseed blade I can point out quite a few good psu's for you. just let me know the country you live in. (if you are in the usa I have 4 or 5 good ones I could send one to you)  second shot  |

10 hours later... and FINALLY WORKING!
it was just the dns. farrrrrrrrrrrrrr out. it literally took 10 seconds and now everything working.
thanks every1 i hope this will benefit others in the future.
what dns worked for you? 8.8.8.8 or some other one? |

so far tried 5 different pools NONE of them I can connect to. I do factory reset and it just starts mining straight away someone please help
Are you changing anything in the network settings? Is your Antminer in the IP range covered by your router? In the pool configuration you don't need to enter 'http://...' only 'stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333' (example if you use Slush). Make sure that you don't enter any extra spaces and that all of your credentials (Pool worker and password) are correct. Cheers And make sure you set a DNS too. That was my mistake. I have mine on 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2. no but what DOESNT make sense is everything works fine once reset. its only when I input my own pool (uk1.ghash.io:3333) etc it dont work. i have tried btcguild ozcoin f2pool and few others. what am i missing? okay look at my screenshot above with my pool setting it is for btcguild copy it into your miner and see if it mines for me. if it mines for me and not for your btcguild account I would be shocked. obvious if it does that you must have wrong info on your btcguild acct. also if it does that do not keep mining for me. make sure you have a password set 123 works.. also play around with your dns settings 8.8.8.8 does not work well for me i use my routers address and it works |

ok just to narrow it down:
i am running this off my home PC's power supply. it has 2 6p connectors coming from my silverstone 1200w. my home pc is fairly basic nothing over the top so its got plenty of juice. (is a dedicated psu must?)
AND
on my router the router lights up orange rather than green but i can still log into s3 and change settings. and as i mentioned it will mine once it is reset all on original settings.
i have been on this 10 hours straight now and i feel like throwing the miner at the wall.
also i have somewhat previous experience in mining - like 8 rigs at a time etc. so i know how workers, pools, basically work.
without lots of screen shots can't tell what is wrong. here are 2 working s-3's what does this page look like for you? notice both work even with wrong wireless settings since I am using cat5 hookup Ipv4 broadcast 192.168.0.255 would be good since the miners are at 0.246 and 0.245 192.168.1.255 is wrong  here are some pool settings notice you must have a password  |

It is. I pay 0.12 kwh. Even with OC I earn more / month and the prize increase for power is not that high. OK then I will leave it this way  thx Edit: well but I don't think they can explode for OC. They almost run same temperature than without OC and watts increase is not that high. Mmmmm hard decision . For me it was mining stable at 440 using 218.75 but if I can get more with OC. .. I don't get any X or - works fine Temperature getting from a particular point doesn't mean that one of your component is getting fried. But bitmaintech's technical team can contribute something here. Else we need to check it ourselves without the cover. But i dont know why, the S3 that has less hashrate, is not estable with 237,5 now indicates its hashing at 367,66 .... i will have to lower frequency for that S3. arggggg. will test it with 225 freq other S3 also decreased from 475 GH/s to 460 GH/s (250 frequency) that is the dc to dc convertor it warms up after time and works less efficiently . thus the hash rate drop. I have my 2 units set to 212.5 they are rock solid at about 430 gh they pull 328 watts each. based on my knowledge of electrical gear I believe these s-3's should be run at freq 212.5. I believe the oc camp will be reporting on burnt out s-3's in about 6 weeks. Just a guess. But these are very power efficient . So running it for 5 to 7 months and turning profits is possbile.  |

I'm thinking of getting the Cooler Master V1200 Platinum PSU ( http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/v-series/v1200/) to power 3 S3s would that run fine? Everything is going to be on stock, no tweaks whatsoever. I just need something that can power them reliably. Also, a pretty noob question... The datacenter I am looking at provides 6 x power sockets of 13Amp over 220V each in the cabinet. Does this mean that in total I can put equipment that consumes approximately 12000~ watts of power usage without tripping anything? Or should that be ~2000W? Cheers maybe maybe not. if you drop to freq 212.5 most likely yes. I have some evga 1300 watt golds. they run 3 s-1's at freq 393 overclock pulled 1215 watts for 1 month in a row. I would think they will do the trick. |

can someone share what is a single S3 on a decent PSU pulling from the wall in terms of power ?
cheers
328 watts set on freq 212.5 hashing at 433gh. psu = seasonic plat 1000 watt 337 watts with an evga 1300 watt gold same freq 212.5 |

Poolside  The hash went up poolside. Strange the way the pools are exaggerating the rates, such as BTC G is doing as well. I will work with the Queue values to get a reading on how it effects both GUI and poolside values. BTW philipma1957 I am sure you recognize the pool used here. yeah i get 3-5% higher numbers on btcguild then the gui tells me I am getting. Ahh the good doc h's pool |

I was able to get the discarded amount lowered as well as the load. I changed the queue to 0 from 4096 and added --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 to the cgminer file. ***IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS DO NOT TRY AS YOU WILL BRICK YOUR UNIT*** This is the first attempt, not sure if 0 is the optimal queue value for all pools but if you are a P2P miner you may want to try this out. I use a smaller pool and my numbers have gone up. This is along the same tune you could do for an S1 but a far cry from what we did in the GPU days. I have another unit running at a lower speed but have the same results. SSH in then: vim /etc/init.d/cgminer
--scan-time 1 --expiry 1 Find line 75 PARAMS...at the end change --queue 0 and add --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 before the quotation. ***DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AS YOU WILL BRICK YOUR UNIT**** Before Config Change (I added a line so it is easy to see, I took it out when I finished)  After Config Change  Ant Before  Ant After CHECK THE LOAD VALUES looks like the load was lowered, but it is hashing slower with less accepted shares |

yes and no. yes in that you can use it like a controller hook up a usb hub then buy mining gear to mine with. no in that it is not fast to mine coins at a profit with out buying other gear to attach to it. maybe you can mine dark coins but btc no ltc no if you want a low cost asic mining gear for about 60 bucks there is a thread here crazy guy is the seller I will find a link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=612390.0look into his 57.99 usd item the r-box he has a website with paypal. I am pretty sure it works with your pc if you have windows 7 on it. |

I did the math and by my estimate batch 4 contained
2258
s3 units
I calculate Bitmain made 1468.7884731 BTC then divide it by .65 per s3 = 2258 units
The figure may be 2300-2400 since many had a .075 btc coupon. Still 2300 x 440 = around 1 ph batch 5 will be 2300-2400 more |

Ok ok good, so Corsair VS650 should be good, as I have read it has 2x PCIe 6pin connectors, right?
not sure they must be on 2 cables. not 2 plugs on 1 cable |
|

|

2 please.
when do you want the funds?

Wish I could buy one of these but as a poor university student I definitely can't. My tuition of $4,800 could definitely buy some mining power.. Lol
If you live in a dorm with "FREE" electricity, you might be able to work a deal with someone. You host their miners and you get a cut of the earnings.  When my son goes back to school in August, I'm sending him my S1's to run for me in his dorm room. Stealing from our universities! Brilliant. That is an excellent lesson to teach your kids. You know those universities and all of society still have to pay for that electricity and that consumption takes away from other areas the university could use the funds? That electricity does not just come free out of thin air. It really has to be paid for. Just because it is hard to account for this consumption doesn't mean it is somehow 'free'. Is burdening our universities with this extra expense really worth the few pennies in bitcoin you will receive? The one part of society that can least afford loss of resources is our educational system. What a dick. I invite the entire bitcoin hashing community to call out this bad and criminal behavior of using other people's 'free' electricity. This is mere theft of a profoundly irresponsible nature. Please stop stealing electricity for hashing. I don't see it that way. I see it as part of the risk if you offer paid utilities to someone. The rental agreement should include provisions to restrict or prohibit mining if the "landlord" doesn't want to pay for mining (or grow lamps, for that matter) as part of the electric. I just recall my dormroom 20 years ago and I (and a roommate) could never have put up with the noise and heat from an S1 for more than 5 minutes. s-1's are very quiet if they are undervolted via pencil mods and down clocked to freq 275 hash at 140gh with 180 watts. I ran 3 at 420 gh and 560 watts for 2 months. in a friends office. He has reduced power rates as per his lease agreement. 84 percent of 15 cents a kwatt drops him to 2.4 cents a kwatt. |

you could go out side the box and host gear at gawminers. you need 320mh to get .2btc it would be on a multcoin pool with gear you own and they host. you can buy with a cc so you get some protection do I think it is worth doing? I have no idea. although if you got the sale i got on the falcon 599 for 27mh with 90 days of free hosting I would say you should do it here is my thread on having them host 32 mh https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=698679.msg7894701#msg7894701it has earn more then .021 btc a day so far so 10x my hosted setup would do .21btc |

Got a new rig, with an r9 270 in it. Looking to mine something, even just for fun. Is it even feasible now, and if so, what algo?
dark coin is still asic proof. so a gpu would be okay |
