Sloopy this has to stop. If bitmaintech reads your posting sidehack will not get any new chips.

My tongue was very firmly implanted in my cheek ^

If only I could in some way impact the decisions and ideals of bitmain the first thing would be to get sidehack some chips.
Bitmain is partying right now anyway. They won't remember anything by next Friday Tongue

Hell, we should all be so fortunate to have the Chinese Holiday structure. It would give more time to play with bitmain miners.

In all seriousness I give bitmain hell because I expect more from them, but I will again say at least they are bringing us a product. No matter their faults, they have kept the decision to sell something many people can use in their homes. No other prior manufacturer has done that in a long time now. Personally I didn't count the latest Avalon or Sfards units. They were not priced for mass consumption. The S7 is a bit too much for batch one, but it is something that pushes the game forward. To me the SP20 and the S5 are the only products released to do the same.

I see a poll now to push bitmain to a year warranty. That is great and all, but unless you are actually in negotiations with bitmain regarding the warranty, asking for 365 is pie in the sky. People should put efforts towards honoring the current warranty without impossible restrictions. Bitmain are never going to change the 90 day except for big boy purchases where it is used as a sales tactic.

I agree with you on that, 365 days warranty is just too unrealistic right now, BitMain will not accept that no matter what, unless some pressure come directly from their competitors. However, all of their competitors: SP, KNC and BitFury have all turned to industrial mining for the rich...
