Anyways, i pay 0.13 € / kwh so its not a bad price, less than 30 eur / month for 366 W then, and i already have 2 Corsair CX750M, so i hope the time i need to earn 0.19 more BTC, its enough for price to drop a little bit and if i can obtain a coupon better  Grin

Yeah, my strategy was to initially purchase 4, and then pray for a good coupon deal to possibly purchase 4 more Tongue.

Who knows, we'll see how it goes!

Just placed my order for 2x S3's for 1.5 btc Smiley

I could be wrong, But if so. The opening of sales for the S3 is having a interesting short-term effect on BTC Value.

question : if I buy 2 S3 antminers can one 800W PSU power them both ?
I was thinking about this PSU :
http://www.emag.ro/sursa-corsair-800w-atx-2-3-cmpsu-800g/pd/EN1H7BBBM/

 Corsair CMPSU-800G 800W, ATX 2.3

Thanks !

The Corsair Gaming Series GS800 is a single +12V rail PSU.
It will handle up to 62A in that and that's around 780 Watts if you load it to the maximum available.
Since the Antminer S3 is 366 per device, you may need 732Watts. So that will run on your PSU.
But before you take such a decision you need to consider the overclocking power requirement of this miner.
As per datasheet they published and their own claims, to overclock to 504Ghs will consume 390Watts.
Again we can OC this to higher so, for any overclocking the 800G will not be sufficient to draw juice for 2 S3-s.
I will recommend to buy a 1200Watts PSU for this purpose. Keep an eye on the efficiency ratings when purchasing.
Corsair have 2 or 3 models with 1200W but I think they are costly.

http://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/corsair/rm-series-rm1000/

this one is 1000w with 94 % efficiency, meaning it provides 940 W, I belive this would be more than enough even for OC,right ?

The Corsair RM1000 is an 80 Plus Gold Certified Fully Modular power supply.
Since its modular it will be very comfortable and clean from a cable cluster hanging from psu like non-modular.
It +12V single rail of this PSU as per the companies specifications supports upto 83.3A that is roughly around 999Watts.
So 2 S3 can be easily run at 504Ghs overclocking. But If I strongly advice you to buy a 1200W in consideration with your future requirements.
Else just go and buy the 1000W PSU. Also the bitmaintech's Watt ratings are from the wall and we can assume it is with a 90% efficient PSU.
So not much meaning in considering the PSU's efficiency in sizing. Just check its Current ratings*Volt on the 12V rail and compare.

better everyday ♥
Well Christ I do not believe Diff will continue to rise @ 20%

Probably not, at least not forever …
Who will be shipping new equipment over the next 45 days ?

KNC (lots of Neptunes), Bitmain (S3, S2 upgrades), Spondoolies (SP30)

Anybody else ?

Rockminer's RK-Box is shipping in a few days too I believe.

Also, BTCGarden's blades are shipping now also.

Found Lost beach - quiet now
I've had several orders initially show expired and Bitmain caught up and shipped. They even mention that happens a lot on their site. Some of you guys need to climb down from the ceiling and take a breath!

Well Christ I do not believe Diff will continue to rise @ 20%, as of this increase network has fallen on it's face and is running under 6 blocks per hour and has been for almost a day. That 25% increase KILLED the last of the FPGA/GPU miners. Anyone running a BFL single is going to be shutting them down SOON. My 2 60's earn approx $2.04 USD per day, but cost me $1.15 USD so they are on eBay as we chat.

why do people keep saying that...for the last 2 years, stop living in your fantasy world.  Difficulty WILL continue to gap at 20% until the it reaches hardware manufacturing cost, which is still well below what they are selling.  The summer rush has just started, wait until those spoondoolis 5Th start to get pumped out.  Be happy with just a 20% increase.

I see this happening for at least the next 12-18 months before difficulty growth start to level off. And yes i know how many multiples that will be in term of current difficulty.  

Not saying dont buy miners, just make sure you use real calculations, otherwise the only one you screwing over is yourself.

well you could be correct that it runs 10+   20's in a row.

 But  you need to understand   the s-3 is a big jump over the s-1     .78 watts vs 2 watts    that is a big improvement.

It is small like the s-1  it reboots after power failure's   like the s-1… no rasp pi /sd cards to f with like the s-1.

Really is set it and forget gear.


  once we are at the .75 watt mark  jumping from 2 watt mark.   s-3 from  s-1    same psu

   the sp30 jump is  about .5 watts jumping from the .85 mark  ?       Sp30 from sp10  bigger psu


So the sp30's while better are not much better.  


Bitmaintech's s-3  is the last big  jump for the every day regular  man/woman  miner.

  

 Now the real  deal is how big will mega miners go to.

 Most in house miners will not buy an sp30     not at 5 k.

  I can get 10 s-3s for 7.5btc    or 4672.50  mining in 10 days using  3660 watts  

 that crushes  the sp30  ..

Since I mine from july10 to sept 1 and what does the sp30 do  for those 50 days  zip.    

In defense of Sp-30-I ordered one, but i always thought to use hosting for it.
I am sure Sp-30 will be profitable long term. for home-S1, S2 and S3-I will have a little family right here  Smiley

With these prices , Bitmain will achieve true "Vires in Numeris"

How many people are having issues with their orders not confirming?  Anyone know the support address?

My payment has 6 confirmations and now the order box is grey rather than green...

JFC, read the previous two pages.

flipping me. the span between postage is 10 and 20 of july

price will drop i think before they will start shipping.


I don't think anyone will be mining with these before the 15th or so.

And yes, its likely the price will change after they start shipping.
And we may see some coupons too.


 Hey we agree on something cool >  I just purchased 2.  Waiting for this to unfold.

I have  Paid/Unshipped/Expired after 18 confirmations too.

check out if you have green View on the right. If you do-check the pdf-it should say confirmed. save PDF.
If View is greyed out-email to info or webmaster with tx ID (from to)

I sent my payment within 10 mins, no confirmation, bitcoins are gone, unpaid, unshipped, expired.

fuck me ...

they will sort it out if you've got blockchain confirms
did you include the miners fee?

they also have bizarre paid, confirmed, expired notion on one of my orders.
i've got 10 confirms on that one

When you say miners fee, do you mean the .001 btc on top of the amount I send?  If so then I did.

you overpaid...minimal 0.0001 now

Guess that's it, didn't include any fees. Got 2 confirmation now. That is why it took forever.
