I have 4 beautiful hashing S3 units from Bitmaintech !



all 4 of them are running at above 440 GH/S, producing around 1.82 TH/S



just... beautiful !

all those miners sure looks good. i hope your drop cord or 6 way is rated enough amps to pull that load. sure looks like alot on a tiny cord.

How can you defend the price of BTC 0.75 ?

I used https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator and it was impossible to reach ROI.

The calculators I have used, including this one are not that great.  I have 4TH mining at Eligius.st currently and make $75 a day roughly minus the $15 a day in power I pay for a total of $60 profit.  My hardware will be paid for in 3 months.  These are actual results(not calculated).  I could never find a calculator that would give me those numbers. 

Coinwarz bro..

But anyone can do the math for themselves. It's fun when you start factoring in PSU efficiency, line resistance, cooling, controllers... "Hmmm.. Do you think this 16 gauge wire will melt?"..

Fun times. Some days I wish I was in an actual gold mine rather than worrying about burning my house down.



makes me wonder how many bitcoin miners has already burned...

Just got my two S3's in today, and plugged them in and set them up.

They are both configured to run at 218.75 Mhz from the factory.

For whatever reason, one of them runs at 425 Gh/s and the other runs at 408 avg. The 5s averages are higher. Maybe it will be better when they are "broken in"  Huh

I put them both on an 850W power supply I had, but they both turned off, and started hashing at 26 Gh/s. Then, I put each on it's own 800W power supply, and that seems better. Only using 2 PCIE connectors so far.

Might be the voltage on the power cord coming from the garage might have dropped due to the 100 ft length... Grin Grin

Running out of power in the basement....



dont burn yourself up man be careful <3

People who say anything about not meeting ROI are ignorant. How can you comment on ROI when you have no idea what the cost of bitcoin will be next week, next month, etc.

mpark the proper way to factor ROI on any miner actually doesn't involve the conversion price of BTC to some other random currency.  If you pay XBTC for a miner and in it's life it generates >X (plus costs) then the miner profited.  If you buy a miner for 1BTC when it's at say $500 and it makes .5BTC but the coin doubles to $1k have you broken even?  If you believe you have you are allowing yourself to be blinded.

... is there anything that ROI in BTC?... dont see much of a future for home mining... just for manufacturers.


what if bought the btc to buy the miner. lol you guys kill me

i am wondering how much power the S3 will use on the server style power supplies anyone check the power usage on these? the cheap ones. i just wanna know it worth paying more for a gold or plat.

still waiting on my B1 orders too.. this is brutal, hopefully we get a coupon for the delay

What delay? They said they were shipping by the 20th. Last time I checked it was only the 17th.

They were quoted here saying batch 1 shipped 14th thru 17th and batch 2 after, look it up

Well, my Batch1s still are unshipped... ordered and paid June 30. Back then, July 10 was the date....

Well mine finally shipped

and are now sitting in customs exception waiting to clear - in China Grin


what was you blockchain time?

You should apply - you seem really clever....... Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


relax man he was probably tops in his class Smiley
