Well I really hope Bitmain gives thought to expediting out B8 of the S3.

We ordered quite a few B7 - Which are all working great; and they inspired us to buy 34 more in B8. But it's beginning to look a bit dismal in terms of ROI if they don't ship until 9/20.

I'm certainly watching the L1 Release, but will wait to see how they do with B8 shipments before we throw down another 20 BTC (spent on B8) on the L1.

I was highly impressed with B7. The miners arrived right on time and work great. I hope BMT realizes the value of 'customers for life' and gets those orders out the door soon.

Keeping fingers crossed!

Wouldn't a delivery of sept 20 be "right on time"?

Just making a wild statement. You all bought a unit packaged for delivery on sept 20. Why are all you crazies in here complaining that on Sept 3 you have no shipment? Mind you, this has been going on for weeks regarding B8!

I wouldn't by any means complain if the delivery came on 9/20. I was aware of that at the time of purchase. BUT the website actually states "SHIPS BY 9/20 OR EARLIER"

I'm simply hoping for earlier Wink

Hi,
We would honor the promise of earlier shipping than Sept. 20th Grin

Awesome that's great to hear! My B7 Units are working great. Can't wait to get our 34 B8 Units!

Thanks BitMainTech!

Today I saw the new price to 0.46 BTC but the price is again 0.58 BTC. when we can see a new price on S3?

Hello Bitmain,

I see you have uploaded the latest cgminer source code here: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer

Can you please tell everyone how to upgrade their S2 & S3 miners to this latest version with the security fixes? Or are you releasing a new firmware for the S2 & S3 that will include this cgminer version?

Many Thanks, IYFTech.

Can you clarify please Bitmain?

What are recommended PSUs for Antminer S3 to buy - in Europe/US?

I don't know much about PSUs, so a link to a PSU 101 article (at least as it relates to bitcoin mining) would be welcome as well.

I read:
http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMining/comments/24intr/best_corsair_psu_for_my_antminer_s1/ch7mntp

"Efficiency ratings describe the amount of electricity that the PSU loses as heat while powering the unit. Because miners are always on and consume a lot of power, more efficient units generally recover their higher purchase cost in less than a year. In nearly 100% of cases you'll save money by buying a platinum (or gold) rated PSU."

Sorry for quoting myself, but any help with this? From a total beginner level, like understanding power draw on the PSU. Thank you.

Think of the electricity from you wall like water. The power supply like a cup with a hole in it. Think of your antminer as a bucket. you grab water from the source. The bigger the hole in your cup the more cups it takes to fill your bucket. The smaller the hole the higher the efficiency of the power supply. Every power supply takes some power to regulate the 110-220V AC coming in and rectify it as well to DC. That power is wasted like the water falling out of the leaky cup. It isn't that they don't matter to you. Just that they are all watts that won't power your antminer.

So your recommendation? Drill a small hole? Grin

I know the feeling. I was also debating buying S3s but now holding to see what happens. I'm still mining with 8 S1s and they're down to pulling in about 1 BTC a month. At my electricity cost of $0.13/kWh this cost me about $340/month. So I'm still making a small profit at the current BTC price. May upgrade using the kits, but not worth it yet. Waiting to see what happens.

You really need to look at the pencil mod of your S1's I did my 9 miners and now they mine at only 140GH but use @ 200 watts less apiece. So now my electric cost (.125kw) is about .51 day each. You will make more profit doing so. Then this also freed up PSU to run some S3's

Not sure what you mean by pencil mod? I guess you mean lowering the frequency. I'll PuTTY in and try that. Thanks for the advice.

It's this - https://bitcointa.lk/threads/guide-undervolt-antminer-s1-1-19w-gh-at-the-wall.286480/

I've done it on my S1, works great. As aurel57 mentioned it'll increase your profit margin

Thanks for the info. I've been experimenting and using the technique I was able to go from an average efficiency of 2.11 J/Gh to 1.15 J/Gh for a 45% reduction in energy usage for the same amount of hashing Grin

. The calculations show that the reduction in hashing rate is offset by a much greater reduction of energy use. This means my 8 S1s will now cost me $5.72/day vs. $10.48/day. Not as efficient as S3s, but pretty good for S1s! That will keep them profitable a lot longer. Since they've already ROI'd, it's more profit for a longer time.

Also, I was using 4 Corsair RM850s to run my 8 overclocked S1s (had 2 on each). With each S1 now pulling only about 150 W at the lower ASIC voltage (from 420 W when overclocked and running at full ASIC voltage), I can now run all 8 S1s on 2 RM850s! I have 5 S1s on the 1st and 3 S1s on the 2nd. That frees up enough power supply capability to run 5 S3s, if I decide to get. Will be able to run 2 S3s on each of the 2 freed up RM850s and run 1 S3 with the RM350 that has the 3 S1s. Shocked

Hope I didn't screw up. I tried to set the IP of my S3, did it for my S2, now I can't find it the S3.

I have an S1 using DHCP
An S2 static
As well

Can I reset the S3?

you can scan your network with http://advanced-ip-scanner.com/ works with a windows pc.

Great thanks, can't find these any way I know in win8.1 or Airport.

There should be a reset port next to the ethernet port if I' not mistaken, like a lil pin hole thing.

Thank You!!! Trying to figure out my scaling strategy.
