Hi, I`ve got wierd defected chips layout. And when I`m trying to overclock to 250 some "-" are becoming "x". Another question. I`m mining at vip.btcguild, should I set difficulty to 512+ if my overclocked workers are slightly slover? http://i.imgur.com/EW4n9O2.png Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #MzMmoIKJRZk6YC2d
With 26 S3s you can mine on pretty much every pool since stratum has had the bugs worked out on SHA-256. I would use load balancing over 3 or 4 pools, choose your favorites or the 4 biggest after ghash (please don't mine there for the time being) and have CGMiner load balance across the 4 pools since you would be earning for the next 6 months. Set auto payout on each pool to 0.5BTC so you don't get too much build up on each pool and also so you don't have tons of micro transactions.
Thank you, guys for informative and kind replies! Yes, it was pretty big investment, but I`ve got a good feeling about it!
Hope you get the return you are expecting. If you dont know what you need for setting it up, please tell me that u calculated how much power you need for that. You dont want to burn your instalations down by overloading them..
Thank you for support!. The point of my question was how do I merge all the power of S3s into my own pool and start mining solo. Or join somebody`s pool with my "sub-pool". I can solve the problem with wall power and PSUs . I`m certificated computer technican and system administrator ;-)
Hope you are also a electrician with that amount. Make sure you have the power for all of this, and breakers to support your many miners.
A managed switch is overkill (waste of money). You also don't need gigabit since even 10/100 will do, but most switches are Gigabit nowadays. I would get a 32 port one or if you don't mind segmentation 2 16s or 2 24s might actually be cheaper and allow you to spread the miners out into 2 stacks.
I thought about purchasing managed switch only in context creating my own pool soon or a later. Now I realized that it`s gonna be later than soon and I`ve got a question - which pool is better for my 26 S3 ? I can share a secret - I`m from Lithuania.
DRG is right you can use a dumb hub for most things, i have a router and use hub's to split connection in mining rooms.
On pool it's personal preference. Look at types of pools is one of your biggest choices. Some luck factor a lot more into your BTC mined.
Thanks! But why should I "invent a bycicle", what if I just use someone`s expirience who walked the same way? I bet there are a lot of ASICs owners who spent plenty of time choosing pools and strategies, failover, balance, load balance...

Greetings everyone! My apologizes for silly question. I ordered 26 antminers S3 and they are almost here. How do I set up my mining rig? What do I need except PSUs?
