Ok, so I've got a response from Bitmain.

Me:
"Are there any plans to sell an upgrade path kit from the S1's to S3's?

Thank you,
_Miracle"

Bitmain:
"Hi,
Is being developed, will open sales soon.

Best Regards
BITMAIN"

Me:
"Thank you for the response. Do you have a time frame? Days, weeks or months?
 Will there be a minimum order requirement?

 Wishing you well,
 _Miracle"


Bitmain:
"Hi,
Please wait for our official news Smiley

Best Regards
BITMAIN"



Guess I'll be keeping at least my original S1 but not holding my breath for the upgrade kit...patience isn't my best virtue, I'll order a couple S3's

I don't recall if I mentioned this but I just recently added four S3's to my collection so now I'm running 9 things at almost 5Th/s.

Nice, you must have a really good cooling system going on? Air Con?
Hosted at a friend of mines business who run a bunch of server stuff. So can't say for sure but temps on everything stay around low 40c.

S3-1: 42
S3-2: 43
S3-3: 43
S3-4: 43

Prospector200: 53 <-- This ones actually at his house in the basement, he had to take it home a few weeks back to work on it.

Dragon-1: No Temp Lead
Dragon-2: No Temp Lead
Dragon-3: No Temp Lead

Then the 9th device is an rPi at my place I play with for fun.

Once I get him to allow port 22 I can OC my S3's to try and get ~500 each. I got lucky with mine and go four units hashing ~440 on stock freq, so they should OC ok.

If I can OC each one to ~500, I'll gain around 240 additional Gh/s all while still paying him he same amount which is $1 per 50w.So basially for the 1Th Dragons @ 1k watts he gets $20 a month per Dragon while averaging $460 a month per Dragon.

I was concerned about them because of how "tight" they look like they might no get great air flow, why I never seriously looked at them.

Since you are referring to the SP10 miners you should know that their "tightness" creates a negative pressure inside the case which helps with better airflow and lower temperatures than in a normal unpressurized case. The SP10 are the most robust miners and everything around them is build for being datacenter ready/server grade quality.

But apparently their power supplies are already beginning to fail

2 AntMiner S1's, stock settings, kept under glass, each on a Cx750.



In the next week or so I'll (finally) be ready order 3 S3's which should run off of the 2 power supplies (they've had 3 S1's on them before with few issues).

I held on to the 2 S1's with the hope that Bitmain would sell an upgrade kit.
It's likely that the 2 remaining S1's will be listed on ebay when it gets closer to S3 delivery time.

72 Antminer S1's / 70 Gridseed's / And 22 GPU rigs...that are currently for sale  Cheesy
As I was reading that the first thing in my head was wtf lol

That's some serious freakin hardware man, why you selling if I may ask ?

Selling GPU's off to add more Antminer S1's or whatever else used sells for a price that ROI's
Sad part is until Ant S1's dropped so much in price (under .17 now) even with my free power nothing would ROI for me.

Also, have u tried to get stock 440 on those S3's ?


my batch 4  s-3's run well at

 freq 218 = 440gh

 freq 225 =  460gh

 freq 237 = 478gh

my batch 1 s-3's  only do well at 212
How do you have yours powered ? Like one PSU two two units etc.

I use evga 1300 psu's they are running 2 s-3's each.  I plan to see if they will run 3 each as i will order 2 more s-3's in a day or 2.
The EVGA 1300 G2 runs 3 S3s no problem at all.

yeah they ran 3 overclocked s-1's real easy.
What would you say the at wall is on the OC'd S3's on a 1300PSU is ? Curious if thats around the 80% 24/7 rule of thumb.

2 x Antminer S1 - purchased in April, sold last week
1 x SP10 - purchased in May, sold Monday
5 x Antminer U2 - purchased in March, still trying to win the lottery (running in a powered USB hub with an rPi controller)
8 x Antminer S3 - purchased 2 in batch 1, 3 in batch 4 and 3 in batch 5.

The S3s are finicky and nowhere near as reliable as my S1s or my SP10.  Those were set it and forget it.  These require you to babysit them until you find the hash rate that makes them the happiest, and each unit is different.  Once you find that happy place, they're good to go.

S3_1 - 475GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_2 - 473GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_3 - 453GH/s (225 clock)
S3_4 - 441GH/s (218.75 clock)
S3_5 - 429GH/s (212.5 clock)
S3_6 - 454GH/s (225 clock)
S3_7 - 469GH/s (237.5 clock)
S3_8 - 452GH/s (225 clock)

I'm running those S3s on 2 EVGA 1300 G2 PSUs (3 S3s per PSU) and 1 Corsair HX1050 (2 S3s per PSU).  I run them in my home.

How are he SP's treating you ? Haven't heard much on them as of late other than people talking about maybe buying some.

They are treating me very nice. Not a single reboot needed since I have them and they do just fine in warmer climates too. After the Jupiters who already gave me a BTC ROI the SP miners are the best choice that I made regarding mining.

Currently running Antminer S1, Antminer S3 x2, 4 R-Boxes and 4 Antminer U1's (I need something to play with my Raspberry Pi's!) Smiley

I also have 8 retired block erupter USB sticks and two retired AsicMiner Block Erupter Cubes (which besides the need for a stratum proxy I think are very good devices, extremely stable and great workhorses it's just too bad that they're so inefficient).

Just curious what kind of setup everyone has.

For me, as of this post... I have three 1 Th/s Dragon miners along with a Prospector200 @ 200 Gh/s and a small rPi rig I use for fun at around 10 Gh/s for a total of 3.2 Th/s.

I also have four S3's I ordered from BitMain, 2 of which should be at my collo guys place tomorrow.

All in all when everything's said and done I should have around 4.97 Th/s assuming everything hashes at spec, even if not I can still realistically expect around 4.89 Th/s. This assumes each of the four S3's only hash around 420 Gh/s which some people have been reporting.
