Washington-based MegaBigPower (MBP) is North America’s largest mining operation. The mine, which generates millions of dollars worth of bitcoin per month, began developing its franchisee network earlier this year. Now, the company is planning a broad expansion effort that could add as much as 50 PH/s in mining power per month to the network.
At some point the US government is going to have to ban operations like this for environmental impact reasons. This scale of mining operation is just a massive waste of electricity. I am surprised the environmental lobby groups haven't picked up on massive Bitcoin mining farms already. The probably just don't understand what's going on. |

Just paid for 10 units. It looks like even at a steady 15% difficulty increase, these will never ROI for me at $0.13/Kwh.

It's way too early to accurately predict the next difficulty change.
I predict it will increase. ~L)L~ |

90 days for me at 0.06/Kwh (Oregon) Within 90days there will be like 8-9 difficulty increases, so you want to factor that in. It could easily make it 180 days. You would be looking at over 50bill diff in 90 days, and that's only assuming a conservative 50% increase each month. |

Can someone explain why we were able to overclock the S1, which pulls 420w off of 2 PCIe cables, but to overclock the S3 to 390w will require 4 PCIe cables? I'm just not understanding this.
I have some Corsair HX850, which I was planning to use to power two S3's overclocked at 390w each. The HX850 has max 6 PCIe cables.6I also have a Rosewell 1300w PSU that I planned of using to power 3 overclocked S3's, which I believe also has 6 PCIe cables.

Anybody that had their orders expire should check again. I am guessing since it is morning in China Bitmain is confirming orders. My order just turned green and says valid on the website.

Yeah, I saw that too, but I'm really starting to think (aside from Megabigpower and this whole 50 ph debacle) that how in the hell can the difficulty keep increasing exponentially at this point? I've done well with mining, but I decided to press my luck, because quite honestly, I don't want to stop mining. That's really the simple story. I am an honest miner. I will control over 3 th/s. I run a full node. I mine on a small pool. I make bitcoin awesome, right? And so does Bitmain, so I will trustfall into their arms with the S3, and hope for the best as usual! Huzzah! |

I am not a pcb expert but it could be due to power traces. |

50PHs per month ? Doesn't look very feasible. |

I am not a pcb expert but it could be due to power traces. It's because two 6 pin PCi-e connectors were not enough for the S1, some people had meltdowns, so they didn't want to make the same mistake with the S3. The 6pin connectors are supposed to be run at 75watts on video cards, and people were trying to push 200watts though them by overclocking their S1s. |

50PHs per month ? Doesn't look very feasible. +1 MegaBigPower is noted for over blown statements and since no chip was announced to support 50PH a month. Maybe everyone already has a cell phone so the foundries are looking for work.. |

Maybe everyone already has a cell phone so the foundries are looking for work.. 50 ph of hash = 10,000 sp30's at 2000 watts each = 20,000 k watts = a lot of heat big time heat 1 k watt is around 4000 btu's x 20,0000 . add in lots of ac. I would think it can't be done until you get to a .05 watt a gh chip. |

The 6pin connectors are supposed to be run at 75watts on video cards, and people were trying to push 200watts though them by overclocking their S1s. But I had my S1's overclocked to 200GH/s with it pulling 200w+ from the PCIe cables without ever having an issue. I'm just wondering if I would still be able to run the S3's over clocked with just 2 PCIe cables, it absolutely has to have 4 cables? |
