Hello. I would like to ask, If I buy antminer, Should I mine after 2 or 3 years or it will be unacceptable?
More than likely the difficulty of the network at that point will be so high it's unprofitable, so best case would be to buy one, mine for a few months, then either sell it and upgrade or sell it and stop mining.

I really hope Bitmain doesn't sell out of the S3+ B8 by Friday. Anybody know if they'll have a batch 9?

I have a question about the stratum difficulty.  I have two Antminer S3s, and I'm using the GHash.IO mining pool.  Their FAQ says:
Quote
The optimal settings of the stratum difficulty depends on your hash-rate:
16+ GH/s - 16 difficulty
32+ Gh/s - 32 difficulty
64+ GH/s - 64 difficulty
128+ GH/s - 128 difficulty
256+ GH/s - 256 difficulty
512+ GH/s - 512 difficulty
1 TH/s - 1024 difficulty

So based on that, the setting would be 256 for each miner.  Does anyone actually alter this setting in their mining pool?  Or do you just keep the default setting?

thank you.
I don't think it's for each miner (unless you have them as different workers). If they're set as one worker, then set it to 512 (or 1TH if you can get it stable over 1000 GH/s). If they're separate workers then yea, 256 should be fine.

Dogie has a nice guide (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=456691) where he talks about companies trustworthiness, a lot of those companies are currently making ASICs.

Results of today's BITMAIN announcement:

1) Existing S3 owners basically received a 0.1 - 0.2 BTC increase in the value of their individual S3's

2) New ebay scams: Sudden increase in the number of S3+ units for sale.

3) cynical B1 owners now have the new S1- model.

i don't get point #3. point#1 is correct, so what?
I think he just means that they own basically an upgraded-ish version of the S1.
