BitmainTech don't love me as much as some of you. I only got 1 C1, 1 S3+ and 3 S4 coupons. I am wanting to give the C1 and S4 coupons to someone who can use them. All I ask for is a donation to help me buy my S3+ as I am 0.3 BTC short for the pair. Please PM me if you would like one or all of them and the amount you are willing to donate.

I also want to make a note on here about BitmainTech giving me the run around for a power lead. I asked them about the 16A lead and told them I was on a 240V power system. After a couple of emails with BitmainTech they were still amendment that I needed a 16A lead and told me to find one online, which I couldn't because the C13 connector is only rated for 10A@250V. After a couple of emails with BitmainTech I gave up speaking with them and spoke with my electrician to see if he could get me the lead BitmainTech was talking about. He told me that the BitmainTech customer support staff don't know what they are talking about and that the 10A lead would fine to use. I then asked BitmainTech to confirm this with someone there that knows about power usage. Surprisingly this time they came back with a different response and told me that the info the electrician gave me was correct. I asked them to update their info on their website for other people on 220-240V so it is not confusing but they have not done so.

So the rule is -
120V needs 16A
240V only needs the standard 10A

I also have some hashing issue with my S4 but I will post that another time. It's too late and I need some sleep.
