How fast is their shipping? China to Canada must take weeks?
they can get it to canada in 3 days if they want to. right now they are choosing to not ship until sept 20th That's not terrible. I'm not sure if I'm going to buy the Sept 20th batch or not yet.

Hello. I would like to ask, If I buy antminer, Should I mine after 2 or 3 years or it will be unacceptable?

More than likely the difficulty of the network at that point will be so high it's unprofitable, so best case would be to buy one, mine for a few months, then either sell it and upgrade or sell it and stop mining.

There are many things to consider. Difficulty is the one that will make the hardware no longer profitable at some point. I used this chart when I first started looking around. One of the miners here made it and it is very informative. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmeuPljmUNHCdEpqX2RmMDFwemJyLURVUWFtZ3J3aGc&usp=sharing#gid=15You need to understand your power consumption and cost. Cost of hardware to purchase and then factor in how the difficulty will play out. As the difficulty increases which is does ~12 days then the miners mine less btc. Hope this helps. Fahlcor

But we don't know what will be the BTC value after 2 or 3 years, so... Part of us will say that it's better to buy some BTCs right now, another part will say that you better start mining ASAP... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) So you see how multifaceted this subject... A matter of perpetual debate... ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

So I have (1) S3 that will let out a single beep every couple minutes, but the rest don't. Is there some stat in cgminer I should be looking for? Queue depth perhaps?

Of how many? What firmware? Are you using a pool that it is loosing a connection to with the original firmware?. I know my beeped alot until i turned the beeper off. ;-) it seemed each time the multi-pool i was using changed work load it would take the miner a minute to get going and beep.

if you unchecked disable DHCP, then you have to use advanced IP scanner (for PC) or iNET (for mac) to find out what IP your router assigned to your miner. Miner is usually described as Paragon technologies.

You should go to Google and search for S3 setup, there's only about 100 pages that will tell you everything you need to know. BTW why did you start changing things when you no idea what you were doing ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Using a browser, navigate to your router/modem usually in IP 192.168.1.1. you can find IP your S3 that connect to router/modem. after that you can connect to S3
