It seems that some ASICs can not be detected. What can I do in this case?
Thank you

Several hours ago I posted a screenshot asking why I do only have ~250GH/s while the miner is powered with a 1600W PSU and all ASICs looked fine. I restarted the miner and let it run a few hours. Now it looks like this:

Guys: I been testing a few SP10s in a room in my office, normally the temp is 90F degrees because I have 4 of them in a small space. One day it was 100 degrees in there! The end result what the miners worked great, and I am actually moving them to the datacenter today.
Question: What are you thoughts about running this S3 at 80F? 90F? 100F environments? Would they just shut off? I may test today at 80F. The way I make the temps go up or down is to turn on more miners. I have a room for testing, but there is no ventilation in there. Its a big room, but it heats up fast. Would love to hear who is running at what room temperature. I am sure 80F and below is no problem...

up to 85F is no problem for both S2 and S3.
since there are so many miners here and I want to buy ANTMINER S3 I'll post my question here. Is there a chart of multipool mining profitability in fiat over a long period of time (6-12months)? If not maybe you can tell me from your experience..
I want to know whether the current $1.6/100GH/day is somewhat stable and can be expected to stay that way the coming 6 months.
(I'm a newbie regarding mining, so with this miner I can use it for multipools right?
)

)I'd take some serious time learning more about bitcoin before you invest a cent. The difficulty changes after every 2016 blocks. Here is a list of the historical increases.

In the last 6 months it has gone from ~3 million to ~19 million. SO NO WAY you will be making anything close to $1.6/100GH/day in 6 months.
thanks! I know about bitcoin difficulty and got burned already
I'm asking about the other coins since multipools mine the most profitable, which ever coin it happens to be. But there is no "profitability" chart of multipools over such a period of time.
The only way to beat the multipools is to mine newer coins before they get added to the pools, which is a bit of a gamble and isn't a set-and-forget option which I think is what you are looking for.
It is a circular system. You buy equipment to mine, it increases the network hash rates, so they increase the difficulty, forcing you to buy more equipment to stay profitable, all the new equipment causes them to step up the difficulty again, and make you buy more equipment again. Basically you are spending all your profits on more equipment to stay as profitable as when you started mining months earlier. All in all, the only ones making money are the equipment manufacturers and the power companies. The network hash rates is growing so fast now that you can't make enough profits to invest in solar/wind power to offset the power costs. Once you get into the loop, it is hard to just shut down $20-30K of mining equipment that has only allowed you to buy more mining equipment. Nothing in your pocket to speak of. Kinda sucks unless you have hundreds of thousands invested in equipment already.
What prevents you from mining with a couple Th at home, for which you would pay only ~2K.
Nobody said that you are supposed to make a living out of it.
To me, it is interesting and feels like a contribution to bitcoin success in some way

The shipping of B5 started, 7 days earlier than promised date. We added more B5 units for sale.
What about B4 ? That hasn't even started shipping yet has it?
Mine shipped on 7/29 and is scheduled to be delivered on 8/1
When did you order?

Thanks. Maybe they have actually shipped and I just haven't had the notice - that's happened before a few times...
Yea I have had that happen before. I ordered almost the same time and I didnt get any notice either...

Yes "warranty' have not much value in the mining hardware.
41 - 42 was my temperature peaks at stock clocks.
I don't have any link to the thermal grease for now.
I'm searching for it to buy the same brand or the alternative one having >3 conductivity.
But most of the products I'm seeing is of conductivity 1.
I will post here the link if I find it or some else who has experience in doing this will support here.

They are talking about removing the front-side heatsinks, right?

I put a ticket with bitmaintech support and I wish to share it with you all.
My S3 was hashing low at 400 - 420. Long term average was 421.
Bitmaintech engineer told me to remove the heat sink, clean it with a cloth and apply thermal new paste.
They recommended to buy "Dow Coining thermal paste grease" for this purpose.
Which can be sourced from ebay or amazon.
If its not available at your location buy any good thermal grease which has conductivity above 3.
Also I asked then about warranty issues if that type of a hack ws done, and they assured me that no warranty will be void for doing it.

I received the same message Yesterday. Maybe they're on to something? Are you B3?

I just emailed them the same question as I am early B4 and mine hasn't shipped yet. No response yet.

since there are so many miners here and I want to buy ANTMINER S3 I'll post my question here. Is there a chart of multipool mining profitability in fiat over a long period of time (6-12months)? If not maybe you can tell me from your experience..
I want to know whether the current $1.6/100GH/day is somewhat stable and can be expected to stay that way the coming 6 months.

)No, it won't. You can expect the income (in BTC) to drop 20-30% every 10 days or so. Go and read up on 'difficulty'
Whats this 20-30% witchcraft?
I see the last diff jumps were 3% and 8%, Here's hoping they stay around that rate!!
Bitcoin Difficulty: 18,736,441,558
Estimated Next Difficulty: 19,526,251,935 (+4.22%)
realistically i expect to see 9-12% for the next 2 jumps - difficulty is slowing but i think the last two weeks were a nice low hop from variance and the massive 20% jump before that. another jump under 9% would be amazing though, and almost surely lock in a profit for mining
The link to the shared document.
NOTE: If network difficulty stays below 20% for the next two retargets then the document will be revised to 10% and 5% estimate results.

ok thanks a lot to all of you guys, this answers my questions
I guess I'll wait a few more months till I have more time to pay attention and mine new coins and also where the difficulty starts to saturate more with ASICs reaching their limits then I can expect a slower profitability decline. when I was into mining a year and a bit ago, my calculations were also a 3 months ROI (for btc only) but a few months delay and btc skyrocketing right after and all my investments got burned. and it seems nothing has changed since and all the alts are keeping the same pace of 3 months ROI, unless of course I find the undervalued ones and mine those, but I'll need more free time on my hands.
