Im still hoping that bitmain secretly made this chip capable of hashing another algo so we arent all gerning vend over the tavle as bad as it seems right now.. Down from $300usd when my miner arrived last weds, to sub-100 now.. gee.. Nice tactic bitmain Sad

If they do so it is really nice.

But on the other hand, if they are really planning to do so,

Or they even have only some possibility ,

they would never sell 2nd batch like $980 on bargain.

Looking for a bit of advice. My A3 antminer is only arriving tomorrow-the joys of living on the western edge of Europe!

Now the real pain is that I've found out today that bitmain only dispatched the Apw3++ psu today (despite numerous tickets requesting that both the psu and miner be shipped together). Anyway I'm looking at another 10 days or so before the psu arrives. Not great.

I have a Corsair HX1000i psu (i.e. 1000W) running on my ethereum rig. My question is, would it possible to use this psu on the antminer a3 and underclock the A3 until the Apw++ arrives? Any advice welcome!
Get a compatible PSU from Ebay/Marktplaats/Amazon and sell your new AWP3++ when it arrives?

Thanks, yeah the problem with that, where I'm based (Ireland), the quickest I can get a 1600W psu delivered from Amazon.co.uk is about 1 week. I can't find any suitable psu that I can pick up locally quickly

Gosh, thats bad.  I do have a few spare AWP++ if you're in Iceland that I could loan you

you can use multiple PSU's, just make sure each hashboard is dedicated to a single PSU, don't split the a single hashboard's connectors across multiple PSU's.

Thanks, are there 3 hashboards on the A3? Would another option be for me to connect my current 1000W psu to just two of the hasboards and run it at 66% capacity (i'm new to asics) until the apw3 arrives?

I believe you can run just 2 of the hashboards, although you may be pushing things a little with a 1000W psu.  I have a AWP3++ connected to 2 hashboards and the power supply, and a second psu running the 3rd hashboard.  Just the 2 boards and power supply alone are pulling about 950 watts.

Hmmmm, I might just play it safe and wait for the awp3++ to arrive next week. I don't want to fry the psu and/or parts of the miner
By next week, batch 2 miners will be beginning to drop in. I’d get whatever running you Can ASAP to cut your losses.. maybe Pick up a cheap 2nd psu locally for the 3rd Board or so.. 1200 watt /3 means your 1000w psu should be avle to Cope.

Ok, I thought batch 2 isn't shipping til March?

Ah Nice, didnt see that part Smiley

Ah Well.. maybe they’ll fuck us by shipping Them tomorrow in-sted Smiley

Ha I'm sure they have a few other surprise up their sleeve. So just going back to your recommendation, If I run my 1000W psu for the 2 boards, If I then picked up a 500W for the 3rd board, that would do the job for the next 10 days or so?

OK, so after reading all of the last bunch of pages..  I guess it was a good idea that I swapped the A3 I had for two S9's?
Considering that they are 980 USD now and profitability went down so drastic.

So on siamining.com it shows 1.35 SC per GH/day.   = 1100  x .04 cents = 44.01 per day.    Two S9's make about that too I guess :-)

And that profit level will drop even more.  It is however not dropping as fast as the first couple days. WOW.  I knew it would happen, but I didn't think it was going to be that quick. 

Be happy though, as long as you are higher than 20 dollars like an S9 is bringing in, you are still ahead of the game.  That is 0.7 SC per GH/Day.

Or hold onto your SC and become a millionaire when its worth more than 4 cents.

I am so glad I am out!  Learnt a lot!


You did good! But i wouldve kept the a3.
