Maintaining The Antminer

As was stated in the previous article, If you take care of anything, it will take care of you. I will show you the best way to maintain the Antminer then from there I will illustrate how to take it apart to clean and maintain it. If you have even a remote of common sense, then you know that putting it back together, is a complete reverse of taking it apart.

The first thing to remove the Antminer from service

                          

If it has a case remove the case from the Antminer, and you should get this. Note this is an Antminer S5, but the actual style is exactly the same as the Antminer S3. Also most Antminers have the same components, The case housing, the fan motors, the hashing boards, the cables, the control board, the coils are all similar.

First we are going to remove the fan motor. Only four screws, and the power cable inserted to the board. Pretty easy.

With the fan motor off you can now see and inspect the cooling coils

As you can see, these coils are in desperate need of cleaning, so we must remove all the cables, then all the sides, and finally the hashing-boards with the control board and mount in order to clean the entire coil.

Remove the plate screws and the plate


 

Now remove the cables from the board all cables must be removed.  

                

                        

Take out the control board

You will need to unplug the control board from both sides of the hashing board and remove all the machine screws from the hashing-board which is attached to the coil. Antminer S3 has a heat sink that is in the center, you will need to remove this. Keep the screws all together.

Hashing Boards can be cleaned with mineral oil, or Rubbing alcohol and a good air compressor. Once they are cleaned you can reattach the Hashing Boards, and re-assemble the Antminer in the exact reverse steps that you dis assembled it.

Maintaining the Antminer will allow you to have the maximum efficiency of the mining operation. I hope this article helped you.

This Week In Cryptocurrency

This week will mark a historic rise in some areas. There are things in motion that will bring more people to the crypto-currency way of life which will increase values on a lot of coins. To put it in perspective, the secret is NOT HASH POWER in this game.

Let us take a person we all know, Ted Turner. Ted Turner did not make his fortune on One income, Which is the mistake ALL who mine one coin with major hash power is doing. Ted Turner owns or owned at one time, WCW Wrestling, TBS, TNT, The Atlanta Braves, ETC... You see where I am going. Since he owned more than ONE he gained multiple income which is how a fortune is made.

This should be obvious now Why I promote Antminer S-3 Instead of the Antminer S-9. Too many pools kick off the Antminer S-7 through S-9 that is why I will not use them.

You need to have a potcoin wallet, or a good staking wallet for what I am about to put out to you. Antminer-S3 are SUPER for Multi-Algorithym pools because they provide your weekly spending cash that does not interfere with the other miners. Because the other miners are untouched till you need to pay bills.

The best setup is this A Potcoin Wallet, Two Antminer S-3, One- Antminer S-5, One Antminer S-7 with inline power (2TH), and An X11 Miner. The X11 Miner will probably make the majority of the income on it's own depending on your pool you picked. The Antminer S3's should be used to mine pools that pay you in the coin you want to be paid in, The Antminer S-5 and S-7 can be used in a way to gain advantages such as mining solo mining with a pool advantage. Yes there are sites now that allow you to solo mine with the same benefits of pool mining. Usually the Antminer S-7 will mine faster and you can take your earnings at the end of the week and exchange them for potcoin to start staking or getting interest. Remember this can be done with any staking wallet I use potcoin because it stakes regularly.

You are going to want to exchange for other coins, especially those alternative coins that are 0.01 Cents to about 0.20 Cents. This is mainly because after Friday there will be rate increases and you will benefit from.

I hope this helps you. This is going to happen so for those that want to understand how to make good do this.
