IMO the price should be betwwen 2200$ and 2400$. Others like bit-tech or the dragon miners are selling for far less than 3199$.

I am "lucky" that my miners are working fine, problem with just one having my fans running at 100% all the time. Still didnt find any solution on how to control those god damn fans. So fans are still running, 3 of them are monitored in the antminer webinterface and with the first one it is showing 0 rpm ( but still running at 100% ). It is so loud, and bitmain replied to me that it is not possible to adjust fan control manually. So disapointing.

I hope someone can find a way to acces the miners configuration file, I really need to reset / control the fan settings with SSH or something like that. I tried everything I could in order to have my fan control working good.

I agree, Bitmain seems to REALLY be milking the S2 That or they are trying not to piss off batch 1 or batch 2 customers...

Batch 1 and 2 owners already made back $31-32 a day on the machines mining.

Wow! Seriously, I am interest to see how you arrive at that. If it's true, I get 1 too.

What im saying is 1Th will make about $31 a day hashing now. If you bought a machine last week for $3600 it is almost same price as if you order a batch 3 machine today for $3199 and receive it next week.

Too bad the S2 won't ROI in it's lifetimes for Batch 1, 2, or 3 buyers.

I actually don't agree with this, I have been mining with Batch 2 and have already made around 1 BTC since I got it (Slush has been on an absolute RAMPAGE the past week, I must admit, including our 4 blocks in a row last night FFS) , and I paid 5.5 BTC for it. So basically what you are saying is, if you purchased 1TH/S TODAY at 4.5 BTC you wouldn't ROI? Keep in mind I also live in WA (cheap power USA) state. Even the most conservative calculator in the world says I'll get damn close within 90 days:

7-16 7-27 (96 days) 25006 M 0.2029 0.1988 -1.338

So I'm sorry, I forsee an ROI for Batch 1 and batch 2. And quite honestly, potentially even batch 3. However, the batch 3 comes with no discount to existing customers so I'm out on that purchase. However, glad they are listening to their customers. You guys wanted it, they offered it for $500 USD less only a few weeks later. Thats really not bad. But I'd need BTC to be around $600 rather than $500 to make this purchase worth it imho
