all orders will be shipped out on Feb.16.

next batch of S1 units will be stock on Feb 15th, open sales on Feb 15th 11:00 pm BeiJing time, GMT +8.

Sold out my ass.
There were a hundred people here constantly refreshing and trying to order one and nobody got the chance to.

Will there really be more for sale tomorrow?
And if there is at what price?

Because ordering tomorrow doesn't get in our possession until Thursday (if we are lucky) but by then the difficulty has increased.
The same goes for the ones who supposedly ordered all of the machines today.

How are the Ants going to make ROI from now on?

Then please dont order any.

"These droids are not the droids your looking for." move along.

har har har, you are so wise hero member...

tell us, how is your 1.45BTC miner ordered today received by Tuesday (if you are lucky) gonna break even when by the time you receive it, it only makes 0.0276 per day and about 3 weeks after that it makes only 0.02208? and three weeks after that 0.017664, 0.0141312, 0.01130496, 0.009043968... and so on....

It will take you 12 weeks to reach an amount of 1.710976 - given the facts that it works non stop and properly -
PLUS that doesn't include power costs.
So tell us, Wise oh Wise Hero Member, where are the droids we are looking for?

EDIT: The estimates given above are for only a 20% difficulty increase

Only in btc land can someone be upset about hitting positive ROI in 3 months time. Plus there is never a shortage of people who will buy that miner off you in 3 months for more than it will mine for the rest of its life. So yes, I would say it sounds like a good investment, hence why I have 16.

I couldn't agree with you more, but the issue here is that Bitmain has to lower their prices in order to remain (at the top) in the market and competitive.
Otherwise it wouldn't be profitable for me to get an Antminer for 1.45BTC now.
Their competitors have lowered their prices, and today when we were all expecting to grab a couple of Ants (at a lower price) and nothing happened and we get a post that they are all sold out!!!!!
WHEN? Huh

I was behind this all the time!

Anyway, I believe that Bitmain should lower their prices to match the competition also given the facts that 3 days from now the difficulty will increase and no machines will be delivered before that,
It is a fair request I believe.
That was my point in the first place Wink
