I have been looking at the explanations about how to get the S3 antminer mining bitcoins.
Bear in mind, I haven't mined at all yet, and I also am not really familiar with electronics and messing around
with power supply and such.(it doesn't come ready to mine, but I would have to get power supply stuff myself and do some kind of paper clip electrical trick etc..)
To be honest, the explanations seem fairly daunting, with room for errors being many possibilities because
of so many steps involved in getting the S3 mining bitcoins.
What do you think? Is buying an S3 Antminer a good idea for me,
or do you think I will encounter problems in one of the many steps involved, and never actually get to the point where I am ever mining bitcoins?
Same situation with me. If you can research, you can figure it out. I just got my first two miners today (B3) and set them up. It took me a while to figure that out. As for what power supplies and how to get them running without a motherboard, go to YouTube and search. I found everything there. I am using the EVGA SuperNOVA 650G1 650W ATX12V Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR, two of them. Right now I plan to just use one per miner. I could do one and a half though I think. With these power supplies, they have the plug to turn on the PSUs without a motherboard, but I also ordered some female plugs and pins and will make my own simple bridge.
Frankly, just buying Bitcoin was as hard as setting these miners up and figuring out what all I needed.
