Itss9invoice.JPG on its way it already left china and should arrive Tuesday! Im going to keep you all posted as to what i do with this one as i only payed @ 1800 usd in bitcoin cash at the time, they are selling for over 6000 on eBay now so im not sure what ill do but i definitely will start mining coins right away

Do you have your S3 going? I have one going and yielding about .0005 Bitcoin Cash daily. I'm not sure its worth the effort.

Yes i do i have been thinking of selling it once the S9 arrives but then again i still think keeping a miner on hand will always be a good idea in case u need to push a transaction through, this ones not really generating much but i dont pay the electric at work and boss likes having it there to mess around with , remember you can putty into it and the interface is similar to the newer miners, also its got the WiFi ive been trying to push eBay auctions for the s3 up to over 300 recently i think if i can get 500 for it ill sell it but i think of it more as a tool if you want ill post some more in-depth info on the web-interface of the antminers regardless thanks for the reply hope you find mine helpful below is me on slush pool with 1 s3 i get @ 500 sat each block s3blocksonslush.JPGlc.JPG

Is there a way to direct one of my own Bitcoin transactions to my own miner? I have mine pointed to pool.bitcoin.com

thats a hack and a half ..... ill kinda sum it up for you. youd have to set the transaction to a certain....
ugh its complicated
First, you could solo mine using GBT from Bitcoin-Qt, and prioritise your own transactions. But unless you find a block, this does no good.

Second, and perhaps easier, you could use a pool like Eligius which offers prioritisation as a perk to its miners.

so far.... when minings no longer profitable and everyne turns them off we who have miners will be able to control the transactions..... i know how u can slow down someones request for withdraw from many exchanges... want that tip? can u keep a secret! check out one of my old sites @ lordcisco.com/bitcoin mybtcforum.JPG

Oh cool thanks. I'll check out your site.

its not much at lordcisco.com i put up a FFA (free for all ) forum just to see what would happen and it looks like a load of spam posts, I really just made it as a learning tool maybe one day ill build up on it, do you have any ideas on what to put on it know any web development or want a place on the internet let me know and maybe we can work something out

I did something similar to you. I created a website just to learn how to do it. I thought I could use it as a way to promote referrals to the BitClub Network. It gets zero traffic so it was probably a waste of time.

heres a site if you dont mine clicking you can get some free traffic to your site

By the way, this is the power supply I bought for my Antminer S3. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171109

I actually have a 2nd S3 but I'm not sure its worth buying another power supply and hooking it up.

you have a 600 watt PSU i would plug them both into the PSU and run them both they might not run as high but combined youll be able to utilize the extra power from the pSU to hash more than just 1 S3 if you dont have enough pcie clips you can always pick up an adapter for cheep. The S3 only requires 2 pcie plugs to hash
