I cant understand why people are purchasing s3's, the return at the current difficulty is 8usd aday, about 50 week and you spend 468.5 usd?  ? How are you going to make your money back, not forgetting running costs... For many of us this is a hobby that we all understand will not make us rich. I will be happy to break even. Just like my other hobby that I throw money at, I have a race car that I know will cost me more than I make in winnings. Why do I do it? Because I enjoy it. If you are depending on your Bitcoin mining to survive, you need to find a better way to earn a living. You enjoy throwing money down the drain? I started in late March 2013 with 1 graphics card. I've mined, reinvested in newer hardware and sold old hardware. I've been through gpus, fpgas, erupters, blades, cubes, saturns, S1s, Dragons, and now S3s (and a couple U2s). I've gone from 30mh/s to 6Th/s with no additional outlays in cash. I've converted some coins into precious metals, and have properly reported items on my tax returns. If I would have just bought $250 of btc @ $38/coin, I'd have a little over $4k now. Instead, I currently have $3-5k in btc and at least $6k in hardware. Plus it's fun. |

I am in the same position, but i know exactly how much my house can handle in the summer time (~2kw extra). |

A note about this anddos guy is the most self centered miner i've ever seen posting. Not long after he started mining and asking questions about it he made the following thread imploring other miners to stop helping other miners https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9377.0Apparently a leech will always be a leech. |

My B3 units have been stuck in "label created" mode for 2 days. Here's hoping Bitmain can get these shipped today.
I'm running out of time. Have to be out of town on a family matter this weekend and next week.

It's strange how much difference in delivery there is considering they all came from the same place. According to UPS my S3's only spent 5 hours clearing "customs".
My boxes were not opened so I don't think they got much "inspection".

Frequency GHS(avg) Temps HW Watt (Kill-A-Watt) ASIC Status ---------- ---------- ------- -------- ------------------ ---------------------- 250 487.26 41, 41 2 428 Chain#2, 1 "x" on the far right 237.5 423.55 39, 37 38 367 All OK 225 422.69 39,36 7 364 Chain#2, 1 "x" at 2nd position & 1 "-" at 8th position from left 218.75 403.58 40, 38 0 355 All Ok For sh1ts and giggles, I did the 212.50 on my S3: 212.50 424.81 37, 34 1 362 All OK This is at 1 hour mark. I think I'm going to keep it at 212.50, I like the low temp at this frequency. |

I wonder if the unit is considering the target as out of range and mining at default while ignoring the value set.

Congrats now you will make 8usd per s3,money well spent huh? Yes it was since I spent Bitcoin that I mined using S1's, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using Chili's, which were bought with Bitcoin mined using Jalapenos, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using stick miners, which were bought using Bitcoin I mined using the graphic card in my PC. So yeah, it was money well spent  |

Yes, out of all the frequencies so far, the stock at 218.5 seems to be the worst one for my S3. It is baffling. The other S3 I have runs great at stock, hashing at a bit over 440 GHs. It's like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get. Or something to that effect. |
