Do you guys think anyone would invest in me having a couple miners in my dorm? I don't pay electricity and I have some extra space. How would I look for a miner?
its not like we dont want, but its too risky
while we dont know who you are...
and can we trust you or not...
that kind of questions...

so, if we're going to host in ur place, we should have something to hold on to..
like ur reputation... or something like that...
its kind of difficult to host in ur place while we dont know who you're sir...

Hello, someone can answer to my question:
Is it possibile to use one power supply for 2/3 antminer s3 ?

Is it needed to make something with the ground  12volt ?

Have i to connect the cases of the miners togheter ?

Thank you


At default speed EVGA1300 will handle 3 S3 with ease, even 4 possibly at the 212.5mhz setting (see post by philipma; possibly giving you 425-435GH).
At overclock, EVGA1300 is OK for 2 for sure, but maybe 3 (if at 237.5mhz, but NOT 250Mhz).
EVGA has 6 cables, but eight PCI-E connectors (two are split cables).
I am not sure what to you mean connect cases?. YOu just stick PCI-E connector to the port on the top of the miner until it clicks. NO parallel connection! This means that you should NOT connect PCIE from two different PSU to the same board (one side=one board).

Thanks Junkbarman, I think my miners will be running around 50 with the heat in the room. I read in the manual that the miners will shut of off at 80, so here's hoping that 80 is the max temp and I shouldn't be hitting that!!

Do you guys know the safe operating temperature of an S3? my miners will be running in a room that's about 30c / 86f all year round! I can't do much else about the heat :-(

I run 3 s3 miners at stock and they are all coming in at 39-40°. The room they are in is constantly 24-26°+ depending on time of day.

I do have a fan on them, to move the heat they give off away from the area quickly.

Why every newbie buy from bit main
You will never roi
Because diff go so up
Because of bit main hardware
So the only which is earn is bitmain no one else
You never roi your money you spent

ROI or not, miners will never die
it is kinds of needs to do something about BTC
u tell me to invest? not rich enuf..
u tell me to watch only? dont buy coz wont ROI? GTFO
i dont recall that if i want to do something, i should follow others
i only trust my own guts

PRO TIP: afford what u can lose! Trust ur own Guts, DONT believe Troll!!!  Cheesy

I see some people are reaching the 440Ghs, other less and others are reaching 500ghs with OC.

If there any way to overcome or to lessen the "DC/DC module" issue impact ?

Maybe using heat sinks if the problem is overheating.

Anyone already researched this matter ?

People who say anything about not meeting ROI are ignorant. How can you comment on ROI when you have no idea what the cost of bitcoin will be next week, next month, etc.

Please don't keep quoting the troll, people. Just use the ignore button.

In case it isn't obvious, one trolling techique is just to tag-team - a second, third, or nth person quotes the original troll message and comments on it, thus keeping it visible and derailing a thread over time.

If you feel the need to respond to an obvious troll comment (I get it), it's probably better for everyone, yourself included, if you just put the person on ignore instead. After that, they can howl at the moon forever and it won't bother you again. Most sites don't have an ignore button, so troll-handling culture is different here. It works if you use it.

Ahem. S3 discussion? Where was I? My pool reports 450+ GH/s for each. The miner dashboards are reporting 425+ GH/s. This is after about 48 hours and seems stable. Temperatures are 40C or less, ambient is 26.2. Power is Seasonic 650-KM for now (lots of headroom). They connect to a Netgear GS-108 switch for now. All routine stuff.

I've just set the pool worker difficulty back down to 256 after a day or so at 512. Early indications are that it might produce better hash rates at the lower difficulty. Too soon to be sure.
 




  pretty much in agreement with all you just said.

 My 2 s-3's are set at 212.5 freq.
They use about 630 watts from a seasonic 1000 watt plat psu.
I need only 2 cables per s-3

My readings are:

429.82 gh  s-3 gui   432 gh  btc guild  26 errors for a 0.001%   error rate
428.59 gh  s-3 gui   445 gh  btc guild  14 errors for a 0.0005% error rate

My garage is getting a bit too warm as I have 1100 watts in gridseed blades running along with 630 watt in the s-3's

I move these s-3's to my friends office on monday..  We get power at 3 cents a k-watt in his office.

I will get 2 more with my coupon when batch 4 opens.

I am hoping batch 4 will allow for a real over clock.

To all  try to ssh in and run freq 212.5 if you gear does not over clock well.
Some of us have  good over clocking s-3s some do not.

My s-3's did not over clock well at 225 or 237 or 250.   

but both do very well at  212.  858 gh at 630 watts (plat psu) = .734 watts

Here in Canada I would pay a small fortune in taxes.
about 13% (in ontario) - still less than most EU countries Wink

if you have a business license/account, you an presumably import for only 5% taxes

I hate UK taxes -- they even tax taxes lol

I think if you can not get the item in the UK - then it should not be taxed @ 20% !!


There you go Bitmain -- move a small set-up to UK and make some here -- we will buy more with the taxes we save Smiley

Yesssss!!!!!!  Smiley
Congrats!  Wish you a quick delivery

I also got the delivery info and am following the tracking, unfortunately the weekend seems to put a bit of a pause, so current delivery of my B1 order is now expected on Wednesday.

Cheers

Thanks !!I'm from Spain . If I have to pay something for customs I will tell you how much.  Cry
I'm from Australia, and fortunately the S3 comes just under the GST (similar to VAT) threshold for imports, so persons in Australia that have received their B1 order already paid no fees...Smiley no wonder it is called the 'lucky country'...Smiley)
Hopefully your customs fees are not too painful.

Cheers

It's ok, we more than make up for it in electricty costs Smiley
