6 Pack of S3's installed @ the DC!! Thank God the Temp in the Lab is back under 30C
Should "load balancing" be turned on in the S3 ?
Default has it "off" I think on the S1 it was on.

It was on by default on the S1. You can turn it on if you want. It will give you a more optimal balance between the servers but it will divide work.

How can you defend the price of BTC 0.75 ?
I used https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator and it was impossible to reach ROI.
I used https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator and it was impossible to reach ROI.
The calculators I have used, including this one are not that great. I have 4TH mining at Eligius.st currently and make $75 a day roughly minus the $15 a day in power I pay for a total of $60 profit. My hardware will be paid for in 3 months. These are actual results(not calculated). I could never find a calculator that would give me those numbers.
Coinwarz bro..
But anyone can do the math for themselves. It's fun when you start factoring in PSU efficiency, line resistance, cooling, controllers... "Hmmm.. Do you think this 16 gauge wire will melt?"..
Fun times. Some days I wish I was in an actual gold mine rather than worrying about burning my house down.
right now my two are literally mining in a bank under lock and key on a metal plate.
my friends office is on the second floor of a local bank. I put them in one corner of his Air conditioned office on a piece of sheet metal.
I placed an all metal table over the top of them.
The next order will be a problem of where to mine them. I do have an idea I will do a thread on it .

makes me wonder how many bitcoin miners has already burned...

Advertise it as 430gh at 330 watts. Drop price to .65btc min order of 2 .
I agree. Bring on the coupons Bitmain!
One of my only gripes with mine (outside an unneeded UPS shipment release frustration bomb - would only release 1 of 2 boxes to my front door)...
It lists on the UPS label on each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" - Still not comfortable with this being out in the open given what the hardware is...

This is idiotic: each box "Description: BITCOIN MINER" - they might as well say "PLEASE STEAL ME!" Who put the description on the box, UPS or Bitmain? That means more eyes on our personal business. Especially if we live in repressive countries.
can we see a picture of this ??
I still have the box, I'll take a picture when I get back from work. It is pretty obvious, though. It is not a very small text at all.
One of my units is not hashing at all after a restart. It is just sitting there discarding work and not hashing. Tried the firmware, that didn't work. Network is fine, it was working yesterday but developed an X overnight. Now after a restart it will not hash at all.

At least your packages have a lot of company because mine are right there with yours.
They even took away my delivery date again just to make sure those package wouldn't try to leave again.
Yeah, we're having fun.

I have two S3s hashing stably hashing for the last 15 hours. One is at the default voltage/frequency and hashing at 450GH/s and the other one is underclocked and hashing at 220GH/s. They both seem to hash at 450-470GH/s range pretty stably when they are alone.
I only have a 750W E-VGA PSU at this point so I can't run both of them at the default settings but I ordered another 600W PSU from Amazon to run both of them overclocked.

So once i receive my S3´s i should install new firmware?
Not sure if it's newer firmware than currently installed (don't have my S3 yet, I'm a batch 3) the website suggests it the first version so it's likely its the one that'll come installed on your S3's -
antMiner_S320140711.bin first version of firmware for antminer S3
Saying that it's probably worth checking the dates on the firmware on your S3's. If it's before the 11/07 then you'll likely have an older firmware version and would be worth upgrading
yeah, i will check it
thx
Is there new firmware for the S3?

So once i receive my S3´s i should install new firmware? Maybe i better test how it works as stock, and if it doesnt work well then install new firmware??(mine is batch 2, maybe has that firmware already, i will check it on thursday)
Any word on B4 sales?
Id be will to bet they won't start until the 1st of next month at the earliest.why? I would think they made solid money with the first four batches. So why not sell more?
Do you really think they need to upgrade it to overclock at the 500gh?
I think all they need do is lower price clock it at 212.5 freq as stock. With 218.75 as the over clock.
Advertise it as 430gh at 330 watts. Drop price to .65btc min order of 2 .
My interest for these is an undervolt under clock pencil mod. I would love them to run at 190 freq hash at 380gh an spend about 200-220 watts
By end of this week they should have the first 3 batches shipped. the i figure they will wait 3 or 4 days to see if their are any major issue to fix. maybe even look at that beeping issue. stock pile a few miner to have them ready for the orders and then open the new batch and chuck them out the door within 48 hrs of you placing the order.
