Model Antminer S3 is another Bitcoin miner from the Bitmain mining company. It uses the SHA-256 algorithm with a maximum hashrate of 478Gh/s for a power consumption of 366W.

Bitmain Antminer S3

Bitmain Antminer S3 is a top Bitcoin miner that is performing better than most. The Manufacturer has made sure to develop a unit that can perform at optimum conditions. Most users are happy with the outcome of this miner. From the setup to the longevity, this is a miner to die for. Those who want to buy the miner can go to the manufacturer’s website for more. Antminer S3 has no competitor, and it makes it must-have mining equipment.

 Algorithm of Bitmain Antminer S3

Since this is a Bitcoin miner, it uses the SHA-256 algorithm. The algorithm is one of the best in terms of safety and speed. There’s no other hashing algorithm that is secure as the SHA-256 algorithm. And this is the reason why the manufacturer is trying to outdo the competition. Most experts will tell you that there’s no known vulnerability with this miner. And this is why having it will probably give you a profitable outcome.

Most stores have completely sold out the unit, which goes to show the unit’s worth.

There are over 40 coins to mine with this unit, and most are profitable. Some of these coins include Acoin, Curecoin, Joulecoin, Unbreakable, Terracoin, and more. Nearly all mining pools support this miner, which means you can connect to one of them. These mining pools include AntPool, SlushPool, ViaBTC, and more.

Hash Rate of Bitmain Antminer S3

It comes with a hash rate of 478 Gh/s, which is smaller than most Bitcoin miners. The reason for the low hash rate is the power consumption. It comes with a power consumption of 366W. It seems that the manufacturer is targeting newbies and large scale miners. With a small power consumption comes fewer electricity costs. It’s a bargain for anyone looking to mine Bitcoin with superior mining equipment.

Warranty of Antminer S3

It comes with a six-month warranty that covers the original buyer. There’s no payback period with this unit. 
 

Overview.

The Bitmain Antminer S3 model was released in the year 2014. This comes from the third generation of Antminers made by Bitmain. It uses the BM1382 Chip and is powered by the 28nm tech process. The Antminer S3 version comes with a hash rate of 478Gh/s, with an ultra-low power consumption of 366W, and having the best combination of greater power efficiency of 0.77J/GH, a low cost for miners and investors.

It has a power supply of 12V DC with two 14038 fans mounted on the front and back. The S3 Antminer comes with a power supply unit and comes with a PCI - e-connectors for the +12V DC input but needs just two to connect.

The Antminer S3 does not need a proxy server to mine, and the introduction of the two fans reduces the Antminer noise level. It runs 24 hours a day with minimal to no downtime and has a high energy efficiency rate that helps the miner save their investments on Power supply units and electric bills.

The hardware error produced from this device in a sample unit rate is about 0.001%, far better than the market's competing product. It operates at a temperature range of 0 degrees to 35 degrees celsius and uses Ethernet as a network connection. 

The Antminer S3 is said to be miners' choice because of its efficiency and the fact that it has a low cost; it also can be operated without the fear of downtime or noise pollution during mining.
