So new Hashra 2 TH for 875.00 same ship date as s3's.Sept 20

Competion going to finally force bitmain to give a more reasonable price?

As it stand the current s3 price would have been ok if they were in stock and shipping last week.

Not sure this is that much more competitive price wise. First, The 2 TH Hashra would be comparable to roughly 4 AntMiner S3+ Units.

4x S3 x 0.58 BTC = 2.32 BTC = $1160

Considering you can run 3 S3 Antminers off 1 1300w PSU the total price with shipping is about: $1420 TOTAL

The Hashra Unit at 2TH will cost $1275 (it requires (2) 1200w PSUs)

So the savings is roughly $145

However, redundancy is a factor. If the 2TH Hashra goes down, you lose all your Hash.

Second, Bitmain, at least with my orders have always shipped on time.

Hashra states "should ship" by 9/20.

Bitmain states "will ship by 9/20 OR EARLIER"

My vote goes with the Antminer.

Strato

You have to have an external controller for the Hashra... a Pi or a PC. I much prefer the integrated controller on the antminer.

so that hashra does not have both power supply AND controller?
Besides, a new unknown entity showing a bunch of CAD pictures. No data on quality...i'll wait to see how it develops.

Funny name, though...reminds me of Mothra...so Bitmain/Spond/KnC response would be Hashzilla, I guess.
