Okay, last weekend I tested seven pools, one miner each pool:
My humble opinions are:
http://p2pool.1js.us/ - not impressive, too many rejects, can`t see my statistics and payouts
https://www.multipool.us/ - good, you can mine forks dynamically, good payouts
https://ghash.io/ - good payouts
https://polmine.pl - not impressive, too many rejects, didn`t payed yet
http://eligius.st/ - too many rejects, didn`t payed yet
https://www.f2pool.com - not bad, pays
https://www.btcguild.com - heavy load for the miner, pays good
Plaese comment!
Topic: 26 antminers S3 (Read 2132 times)
Now I`m testing seven of twenty six Antminers S3, with seven different pools in "failover" mode. Please take a look and comment.
Did I miss something here?
Shouldn't the Antminer S3 hashrate be around 440 GH/s? Why are yours just slightly above 200 GH/s?
Yes, it was unpleasant fact for me too. Is there any logical explanation?
Are you sure the miners you are having are really the S3, not the other models?

With 26 S3s you can mine on pretty much every pool since stratum has had the bugs worked out on SHA-256. I would use load balancing over 3 or 4 pools, choose your favorites or the 4 biggest after ghash (please don't mine there for the time being) and have CGMiner load balance across the 4 pools since you would be earning for the next 6 months. Set auto payout on each pool to 0.5BTC so you don't get too much build up on each pool and also so you don't have tons of micro transactions.
Thank you! Very helpful.

Thank you, guys for informative and kind replies!
Yes, it was pretty big investment, but I`ve got a good feeling about it!

Hope you get the return you are expecting.
If you dont know what you need for setting it up, please tell me that u calculated how much power you need for that.
You dont want to burn your instalations down by overloading them..
Thank you for support!. The point of my question was how do I merge all the power of S3s into my own pool and start mining solo. Or join somebody`s pool with my "sub-pool". I can solve the problem with wall power and PSUs . I`m certificated computer technican and system administrator ;-)
Hope you are also a electrician with that amount. Make sure you have the power for all of this, and breakers to support your many miners.

A managed switch is overkill (waste of money). You also don't need gigabit since even 10/100 will do, but most switches are Gigabit nowadays. I would get a 32 port one or if you don't mind segmentation 2 16s or 2 24s might actually be cheaper and allow you to spread the miners out into 2 stacks.
DRG is right you can use a dumb hub for most things, i have a router and use hub's to split connection in mining rooms.
On pool it's personal preference. Look at types of pools is one of your biggest choices. Some luck factor a lot more into your BTC mined.
You sure did spend a lot of money on equipment that you do not know how to use even after you have paid for it. This does not sound like a good idea.
I`m already using it. I`m just asking for friendly advices how to use it most profitable.

Greetings everyone!
My apologizes for silly question.
I ordered 26 antminers S3 and they are almost here.
How do I set up my mining rig?
What do I need except PSUs?
Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for a pool that can give you some great potential ROI on those miners, may I suggest giving eCurrency.io out? We give 2.5BTC out per block to random ACTIVE miners through Random.org, so the more hashing power we have the more blocks we find, the better the chance you'll win the 2.5BTC but along with that you'll still receive your PPLNS payout schedule. We also give away other prizes as well when the wallet has enough to do so.
The information is in my signature. This also goes for anyone else who might want to change from their regular pool in chance to win big!
