Congrats now you will make 8usd per s3,money well spent huh?
I cant understand why people are purchasing s3's, the return at the current difficulty is 8usd aday, about 50 week and you spend 468.5 usd??
How are you going to make your money back, not forgetting running costs...

For many of us this is a hobby that we all understand will not make us rich. I will be happy to break even. Just like my other hobby that I throw money at, I have a race car that I know will cost me more than I make in winnings. Why do I do it? Because I enjoy it.

A note about this anddos guy is the most self centered miner i've ever seen posting. Not long after he started mining and asking questions about it he made the following thread imploring other miners to stop helping other miners

Apparently a leech will always be a leech.

I'm having "not buying enough S3 remorse. Bitmain, can you open up Batch 4 to returning S3 customers only plz? 
Couldn't agree more! Just finished setting up my Batch 2 miners and am thinking to myself "why didnt I order more???"
Because you did not know 100% that they will be sweet...
I am in the same position, but i know exactly how much my house can handle in the summer time (~2kw extra).

I started in late March 2013 with 1 graphics card. I've mined, reinvested in newer hardware and sold old hardware. I've been through gpus, fpgas, erupters, blades, cubes, saturns, S1s, Dragons, and now S3s (and a couple U2s). I've gone from 30mh/s to 6Th/s with no additional outlays in cash. I've converted some coins into precious metals, and have properly reported items on my tax returns. If I would have just bought $250 of btc @ $38/coin, I'd have a little over $4k now. Instead, I currently have $3-5k in btc and at least $6k in hardware. Plus it's fun.

In my younger days I was into rebuilding/modifying cars, and let me tell you: this is nowhere near the same level of "throwing money down the drain". When it comes to hobbies, most cost a lot and return nothing but enjoyment.
Just think if we spent as much on mining gear as we did on our cars...............

I like to play the "Let's see if I can take this BTC and make more BTC game" too, but at the end of the day I started with a USD200 video card and have had a blast playing with everything in-between. If I turn a profit, neat. If I don't, I still got to play with some cool toys. Win-win.
