Should i buy another Antminer S3

[kwong1983]

 ???Still juggling whether i should buy one Antminer S3 now cause right now i am using Corsair RM1000 for only one Antminer, my power supply have one more spot for a miner. I have a total of 11 antminer now. If i buy, it will be a total of 12 Antminer. Difficulty is rising and the bitcoin value i know will rise but not really fast. Need your opinion guys. Thanks

You should, don't waste your power supply's capacity

Where are you purchasing from? It matters on if it is a pre order for the september 20th ones.

I don't think i will be waiting for the antminer s3 batch 8 cause i don't like waiting for it, i got a very good price on the antminer batch 7 in my place. It will be my last buy for antminer s3. In the few months to come i will buying either antminer s4(bitmain) in the future or Spondoolies Tech Yukon SP31. I don't know the spec of antminer s4, so i can judge what i wanted to buy but i mostly buy from bitmain.

I say why not especially if you can pay cash. Your keeping your btc for the future I assume and as long as you have xtra cash I say go for it and stockpile the btc - should you buy from the factory with btc for sept 20th no.

That what i plan to do. I am going to keep all the bitcoin. Is not worth it cause bitcoin value will increase

Yes, i bought all my antminer from the supplier in my place is cheaper than online store in my place.

I hate waiting for the antminer s3 batch 8, is not a huge upgrade increase and my current antminer s3 now even without overclocking it was already at 450 GH/s to 460 GH/s plus i will buy it by tomorrow and start mining in 24 August to 20th September, it will be 28 days of mining before i can the hands on the batch 8 by the time difficulty will increase. So is no worth it in my opinion.

Nicehash had crazy mining reward last days.
So glad I had all my mining power there.

Rockminer RK-Box 480GH/s same day shipping 399$ here
http://gawminers.go2cloud.org/SH36

They have 10% horrible reject rate, making them running at 440Gh/s like a S3
They do the job but less efficient in power and reject rate.

The main reason why i like antminer s3 is because of a few things i can get it at supplier price, easier to get in my place compare to rockminer, in my country is easier to sell off the antminer(people just like the brand) and the power consumption is very low.
