Topic: why now many people are buying Antminer s1 and antminer s3? (Read 1013 times)
I'm surprised people are still buying S3s. I had trouble selling mine last year and that was almost 15 months ago. Guess they don't build 'em like they used to
Winter is coming.
Also the S3's were built like tanks in my mind, that metal case with the reliability I foresee them running in "free" electricity for quiet a while. They can heat up a room which some tend to do. I have stopped doing it myself last winter but it is a valid way to try to have a lower heating bill.
Not sure on S1's though how many will really run them this winter. And those with S3 might be able to jump to S5's that are used for not a ton. So could be the winter of S5's for those with free electricity.
I run my S3's year-round for fun, so I guess I'll be using less heating this year

If you live in a small apartment, the S5 does a lot more noise than the other 2.
But it does make more sense to go with the S5 if you don't mind it.

They are still good heaters if you need one and maybe they point it to a solo pool as "a lottery ticket" and hope to win 12.5BTC +tx -fee.

Today I noticed that several people in different groups of different social networks have posted they are buying antminer s1 and s3,
I wonder ... What is this due to? Any secret? How they will be taking advantage of these old machines?
