Whatever happened to upgrade boards for the S2?

You hinted that they would be available sometime in September.

OK, hinted was the wrong word. Here's what they said (emphasis mine):

1. Will there be upgrade parts for S1 and S2?

Yes, there will be. But we still need to solve some production/testing problem before we finalize the plan and public it.

first off - how the hell is not having an upgrade kit announced yet screwing over customers?

I didn't say it was. I said if they pretend that was never said. You know, similar to how they said S3 Batch 1 customers would receive a rebate/coupon when they missed their promised hashrate. Then they didn't do what they said and NEVER mentioned it again.

secondly, the S2 runs at 1w/GH, which is still very profitable at this point (despite the fact that 6 months ago most people thought theyd be doorstops by now). There is at least 2-4 more months of utility at 1w/GH and beyond that its quite feasible that the S2 can underclock/undervolt to 0.9W/Gh or less.

Theres no reason to sell an S2 upgracde kit right now because the only people who would buy them would have some way to still run the S2 boards without case/backplane/controller/screen - or just be willing to throw money away by not utilizing 1w/GH hardware

Irrelevant.
