question, how much is an acceptable HW number?
i got one that in 24 hours has over 100 and one in the 30s

not overclocked and running around 40c.

1. You can use only two powerplugs one of each side. Left and Right. Not only on one one side as you need to power both sides. If you go to overclock then you have to plug all four.

2. Better if you post here a printscreen showing status of your S3.

rofl bitmain is out.

S3+ for sales shipping starts on September 20th or earlier

omg, 5 weeks with no sales of S3's......

Got my 10 pcs of S3-B5 yestarday.
All hashing well at "238" - around 470-480 GHs.
Perfect. Thanks Bitmain

Bitmain now announce the S3+ which is a revised version of S3 running stably at 453GH/s (frequency=225 MHz), while consumes 355 Watt power at the wall. Most of miners will be able to run up to 500GH/s but not guaranteed.

S3+ for sales shipping starts on September 20th or earlier

S3 is a great success product and almost sold out. The sale of S3+ is 0.58 BTC each including the international shipping, which starts on September 20th, 2014 or earlier. Sales open in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00 (UCT+8:00 Time Zone).
We strongly believe it is best choice of mining bitcoin for both the mining farm and the home miners.

The sale of S1 Upgrade Kit is 0.46 BTC each including international shipping, which starts on September 20th or earlier. Sales open in the Beijing Time tonight 22:00 (UCT+8:00 Time Zone).

S1 Upgrade Kit allows global loyal customers who own S1 to spend the cheapest cost to achieve the best performance: Used S1 will be upgraded to 453 GH/s while consumes only 355 Watt power at the wall.

The time of deployment is a significant factor in the global mining market. The design for heat sink of S1 is customized but compatible with the hashing board of S3. Hence we can finalize the S1 upgrade solution by a surprising speed, to maximize the mining life time for used S1 for each end-customer.

Here customers will get a “yes” for the question that can we recycle the used stuffs from used S1: control board, heat sink, fan, holder… Remove and Replace two units of hash boards and one unit of adapter board only.

Update
S1 Upgrade Kit includes:
1. 2 units of hash boards
2. 2 unit of mini customized heat sinks
3. 4 units of white plastic brackets
4. 8 spring screws
5. 1 bag of thermal paste
6. 1 fan including the fan's cover and screws

Specifications:
Hash Rate: 453 GH/s±5% with great OC potential
Power Consumption: 355 Watt at the wall
Power Efficiency: 0.78 J/GH on wall
Power consumption: This figure depends on the PSU efficiency, ambient temperature and the accuracy of the power meters.

Notes:
1)   S1 Upgrade Kit is designed for customers who own S1. Please be careful to place an order before you are sure you have or will have S1 in hands.
2)   S1 Upgrade Kit is nonrefundable after purchase.

if anyone want to buy s3 quickly, you can buy hosted s3 in my farm and the price is 479$(PSU included ) and switch to your pool within 12 hours, if i was awake, i will give them to you usually within half an hour maybe it is not good to advertise my own website on BM threads, so if you have interest, contact me via PM:)

I have 2 questions about the Antminer:


1. Does it matter if i only use 2 powerplugs instead of 4?

2. currently my miner only hashes at max 200GH/S is this due to the power or should i check the some other things?

Thnx in advanced

well we can take this to PM ....off topic..but yeah got the BFL refund after 1 year and 20 days one of the few...had
no  problems with GAW from what I can see on this thread 3/4 like them and 1/4 don't

anyway off topic we should take it to the GAWminer thread or PM me your links on what went amiss
I may have to change to a diff sig

Searing

Funny how the s3 sells out like hotcakes yet the return running 445 gh is little to none and the next difficulty change will kill off any returns whats so ever,are people stupid or what?

Fair market value of the used miner is the value of BTC it will mine before being turned off after hitting electricity cost/mined BTC equilibrium. It doesn't matter if you will mine it yourself, or sell to someone other to do it, the value is the same. So to answer your question: The value of the used miner It's not calculated into ROI because it doesn't affect ROI in any way.

Nevertheless it's good results for Bitmain. How many units are in a batch? 1000? Or less?

Click the item and it will show you quantity is sold out

lol Searing,  I remember your name from my wait for BFL gear, I took my singles, and believe your rolled some over to monarchs...
Your doing business with gaw scum now?  They treat me worse than BFL did.  I would get away from them as fast as you can, they burnt me worse than BFL or Cointerra....

Your website currently does not indicate that it's already sold out. When will Batch 8 be announced and what is going to happen to the price?

thats ok..I would just be tempted anyway...have a slowly dying down knc jupiter 550gh..just can't pull the trigger...
(hmm....scrypt miner maybe) eventually I'll buy something no will power ..just make the price stupid low for the B8
stuff..to reflect the stupid low BTC price....throw us a bone GAWminers.....

Searing

You should give everyone who ordered previous batches some extra coupons and discounts for how much you appreciate us buying these units

ANTMINER S3 Batch 7 Sold Out again
 

I guess you're not aware that network hashrate and individual miner hashrate are not calculated in the same way. Your S3 (or whatever miner you're using) submits shares to a pool to estimate it's hashrate. The network hashrate is estimated by how many blocks are solved in a period of time.

Blocks solved has nothing to do with determine your miner's hashrate and everything to do with calculating the network hashrate.

Good luck (lots of blocks solved quickly) will make the network hashrate look like it's rising rapidly. Bad luck, vice versa. Sandwich a period of very good luck between two period of bad luck... there's your 50PHs spike.

As I said before, the network hashrate is indeed growing... I'm not denying that at all. But people have to quit shitting their pants every time they see a spike on a graph.
