^^^ that thing does not have enough amperage to power two blades. Bitmain spec is nearly 14 Amps at 12 volts PER BLADE. The PSU, you link to, will MAX OUT at 23 Amps total.
14 Amps for an S3? Is that correct? I have 3, S3s running off an EVGA 1000 which is on a 120 VAC 20 AMP breaker I wonder why that breaker hasn't tripped... I better take one of them off while I check this a little further. 14*3 = 42 AMPS, no way I am doubling the capacity of that breaker. |
Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function.
Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.

In terms of amps it is far less than the output amps at 12 volts. |

S3 and S4?, may as well tell me S5 if I am going to buy one  |

In terms of amps it is far less than the output amps at 12 volts. That's correct. 14Amps@12Volts "PER BLADE"...each S3 has TWO blades. If you have 3 x S3's then your PSU will need to provide 28Amps per S3 x 3= 84amps@12Volts DC. This is where efficiency ratings of the PSU become important as well. Your PSU should have a label which states the max it will draw from the wall @ 110/220 Volts AC, I believe yours is likely around 15Amps. Just remember that Bitmains ratings are just that Ratings and your actual usage should be close but....... |

I keep getting a XML error everytime I try to access the miner configuration page... I'm running the october firmware, already tried to reset it but it's still the same. I don't get this error with any other firmware but want to keep this one as it seem to be the most stable for me.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Log into the rig via SSH and paste this then press enter sed -i 's/Save\&Apply/Save\&Apply/g' /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua Now you should be able to access the miner configuration page. PS. That was the minor bug that led to the ensuing cascading firmware update shenanigans! |

Every month when I get my power bill I look at cost of electricity to mine and value of bitcoins mined during the same period. When it cost more in electricity than value of BTC I'm going to shut down. I guess if enough of us do then difficulty will go down.

Hot time, summer in the city, back of my mine getting hot & gritty!!!

You are looking at it from the wrong perspective. You need to be wishing for the big players to call it a day, that way there is a chance for bitcoin difficulty reduction that is sustainable. The home miners do not account for a large enough percentage to "shut down" in concert to cause a difficulty reduction that is sustainable. Its those huge corporate farms, the same ones dumping BTC thus responsible for the downward pressure on BTC value that need to shut down. If you are signed up to a collective, pray, if not then get your witches' broom out for them! |

Maybe you're right, if enough big players stop mining. They usually have an advantage with lower power cost, but we have the advantage with lower maintenance cost (since most of us do ourselves as a hobby). |

man I hope all the mining farms go belly up more for us!!!! I use a online wallet maybe I should cash out so I don't lose my coins. I don't know how to setup a wallet on my PC "offline wallet" and would not trust it anyway any trustable offline wallets other than bitcoinQT  |

I don't know how to setup a wallet on my PC "offline wallet" and would not trust it anyway any trustable offline wallets other than bitcoinQT Use Armory, it is easy to set up and built on bitcoinQt. And easy to recover your coins if your computer crash. |

Question for you guys - were the wireless cards replaced in any production run on the S3. I have a guy I buy equipment from time to time and have two I picked up from him that unless the housing is off there is no wireless. With the cover off and antenna I get 80 - 90 % with no antenna 50-60%. With cover on 40% will not connect. Thanks in advance

Can run up to 2200W but that is 100% 20A all the time not suggested. |
