unless you have a ton of hashing. I run 3.5 th/s and dont earn enough at antpool ghash or fpool tried them all. I make the most at slushs when he finds blocks which he has not been, so I hum along at bitcoinaffiliate network and average .038 per day with 3.5ths

its got to do with your hashrate compared to the pool hashrate the bigger the pool the smaller your cut unless you have a ton of hashing.

Antpool BITMAIN pool site don't charge either and I earned less there then Discus fish.
fpool charges to much in fees and why are you supporting that chinese pool. Miners should support smaller pools. Try bitcoinaffiliatenetwork they charge less fees and payout a bonus you would be earning more there than at discus fish

Well, I received another S3+ today. Unfortunately the customer has changed the "root" password for the webIF and hardware reset does not work. I assume it has been updated with a firmware from december, as far as I remember that firmware disabled the reset button, right?
Any ideas how I can access the miner without the password?
Kind regards

Pre 1216 would be broken reset buttons until you go quite a bit back. 1216 itself worked.
See if you've still got SSH access, using root as username and password.
Question for you guys - were the wireless cards replaced in any production run on the S3. I have a guy I buy equipment from time to time and have two I picked up from him that unless the housing is off there is no wireless. With the cover off and antenna I get 80 - 90 % with no antenna 50-60%. With cover on 40% will not connect. Thanks in advance
I'm not sure I understand that question. Those running S3s on wireless usually add a small antennae as its situational as to if you can get it stable without and with case on.
Thats exactly what I am saying. The S3 sees the antenna as soon as I put the cover back on its antenna out - all wireless connection stops.Even thought the antenna is on the outside of the case.
Right okay. I'd suggest that either the antennae isn't plugged in correctly or its incompatible as it shouldn't be affected by the case at all. If the S3 was acting as if it didn't have an antennae, it most certainly would be affected by the case.

I am not sure I was reading about the antennas not having the same polarity as a normal antenna try checking into that maybe it will help. I forgot what forum I read that on.

^^^ that thing does not have enough amperage to power two blades. Bitmain spec is nearly 14 Amps at 12 volts PER BLADE. The PSU, you link to, will MAX OUT at 23 Amps total.
14 Amps for an S3?
Is that correct?
I have 3, S3s running off an EVGA 1000 which is on a 120 VAC 20 AMP breaker
I wonder why that breaker hasn't tripped...
I better take one of them off while I check this a little further.
14*3 = 42 AMPS, no way I am doubling the capacity of that breaker.
120V 1800W 80% of breaker 20A safe one breaker. Can run up to 2200W but that is 100% 20A all the time not suggested.

What do you guys think 
?
?Hash rate is about right, looks good.
Not bad for two S3's Stock and one S5 Stock.
What do you guys think
?Every month when I get my power bill I look at cost of electricity to mine and value of bitcoins mined during the same period. When it cost more in electricity than value of BTC I'm going to shut down. I guess if enough of us do then difficulty will go down.
You are looking at it from the wrong perspective. You need to be wishing for the big players to call it a day, that way there is a chance for bitcoin difficulty reduction that is sustainable. The home miners do not account for a large enough percentage to "shut down" in concert to cause a difficulty reduction that is sustainable. Its those huge corporate farms, the same ones dumping BTC thus responsible for the downward pressure on BTC value that need to shut down. If you are signed up to a collective, pray, if not then get your witches' broom out for them!They're doing the same thing. CEX.IO has already stopped. Maybe you're right, if enough big players stop mining. They usually have an advantage with lower power cost, but we have the advantage with lower maintenance cost (since most of us do ourselves as a hobby).
*Said they've stopped, its not the same thing unfortunately.
man I hope all the mining farms go belly up more for us!!!!
I use a online wallet maybe I should cash out so I don't lose my coins. I don't know how to setup a wallet on my PC "offline wallet" and would not trust it anyway any trustable offline wallets other than bitcoinQT

my main wallet is blockchain.info
i dont think its going anywhere.

Use Armory, it is easy to set up and built on bitcoinQt.I use a online wallet maybe I should cash out so I don't lose my coins. I don't know how to setup a wallet on my PC "offline wallet" and would not trust it anyway any trustable offline wallets other than bitcoinQT
And easy to recover your coins if your computer crash.
Log into the rig via SSH and paste this then press enter
Code:
sed -i 's/Save\&Apply/Save\&Apply/g' /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/cgminer/cgminer.lua
Now you should be able to access the miner configuration page.
PS. That was the minor bug that led to the ensuing cascading firmware update shenanigans!
It worked
Thank you so much! ouch... Bye bye $250..... 
See you soon @ $1,000 range again!!! in my dream...
