This is the real way to mine Bitcoin:

- The factory have the latest hardware.
- The factory have all the hardware paid by Pre-Orders
- And the hardware is working for the factory

The owner of the factory have a big smile in the face + a lot of BTC in the wallet and we are all stupid idiot's Sad
Bitmaintech is still learning from KnC, i think...

Then don't buy their hardware.  Seems simple enough to me.  Huh

That's my suspection:

The first difficulty in june was about 24% - i think this was the time Bitmaintech has set all available S3 online.
Now the next difficulty was only 3% and they say - hey lets make us the money and say ohhhh sorry we have some problems to deliver our S3 right now.
All S3 are mining for the factory and make money for them - okay they give the customers a little bit discount with an voucher...
And with the next (possible) higher difficulty they deliver - but all money from the 3% diff is gone to Bitmaintech...

Just my two cents...


I am disappointed that they haven't shipped today.

Since the S2 ships in 48 hours, I'm guessing that maybe Bitmain only ships every other day.

And since its now the 17th in Hong Kong, with any luck the rest of batch 1 will ship within the next 17 hours.

NOISE LEVEL

It is so much quiet than S1 and you don't notice too much if you were used to the S1 noise.  But Im sure when you fill up your basement with many of these, noise will be there.  The below, instead of just typing what the Decibel Meter read out is, I took the screen shot at right next to each side of the Fan and 1 meter away from each location.  The room is not completely quiet place as I have other gear running in the different room and people walking around but this is what the readout was.







DEPLOYMENT SPACE

Bitmain Antminer S3 will fit 3 per 4U rack Space shelving and 10 shelving per 42U Standard Server Rack

Mine at Jonny's Pool
This is just a guess, but the two front plugs. Perhaps there is 1 board per side? I would not plug 2 on one side in other words. My 2 cents. I bought 2 and trying to get another 2 but wont let me put in my cart. I guess sold out of S3...
Been sold out of batch 3 for a while now Wink.

Definitely do NOT plug both into 1 side and none on the other... or you'll only be powering 1 board.  The design is virtually the same as the S1, so at least 1 plug per board.

Since I have not yet seen any instruction book for the S3, like the S1 and S2 have, does anybody know if it makes any difference which jack to plug in to on each blade for the S3, if not overclocking? I would guess it doesn't, and they are in parallel to accommodate higher current draw if o/c. Also, if someone has received ans setup one, what is the default IP as received?

Thanks.

Will there be another batch of S3's? Or better to wait for S4?

I am guessing there will be many more S3's as the first 3 batches sold out so quickly. Better to wait, I have heard pro and cons on both sides so that is something you will have to answer yourself. I personally bought one of the last S2's (at a coupon price) and 2 S3's. but that is me.

I would have thought so ... the S3 is a direct S1 replacement ... and as such they will sell thousands over the coming months. The S4 will be a level above ... in the TH/s.

That just further shows that it was shipped yesterday. Yesterday 8.32pm was when it was picked up by UPS.

Ah, yes ... silly me, today is the 16th!  Embarrassed
