By the time I get my antminers from the U.S I'll never ROI!
Yes you will have ROI...every investment has ROI....question is will it be negative, net or positive. I assume that everyone saying just ROI ...ROI ...ROI is implying a positive ROI.  Grin

Quick update on WiFi.  I have five S3s running 100% stable (no reboots) for 4 days at stock clock (daily avg 434 GH/s) on WiFi.

http://i57.tinypic.com/rms4cp.png

What WiFi antenna did you buy? I'm trying to find one on mono price that will fit.

I'm using these:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DP64JRG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Bought the same ones and they work well. Came from Indy and took just over a week via snail mail to arrive to Toronto.

Some people are saying my 40A 500W EVGA PSU connected via 2 PCI-E cables to my antminer s3 can be overclocked and some people say I can't.
Now I'm scared to do it.

Assuming your unit will overclock. All the ones I have so far dont go above 218.75.
I used to run S1 overclocked to 393 on 2 PCIE cables and it was fine.
Just give it a try and go in small increments.

EDIT: make sure the PCIE cables are two separate runs from the PSU, not one PCIE cable from PSU that has split off to another cable.

Who would care if a Chinese company declared a different value.. Do they have the same laws?

Ummmm CBSA would definitely care and UPS has some skin in the game too. If you can't afford 13% tax on a miner maybe mining is not for you.

Maybe people don't like paying 13% in extortion fees to highway robbers. Or ANY extortion fees for that matter. Your ever think of that?

Its called a consumption tax and if you don't like it then tell your govt rep or leave the country. Or marry somebody with a status card???

Anyone from Canada ever buy from 112? How's duties and such?
I'm thinking of either getting a cx750m x2 to over clock 2 s3... Or a evga 1300w to over clock two of them.

Yes I have bought from 112bit & I am in Canada too.
There is no duty.
There is sales tax, which in this case being Ontario it is the HST, so 13%
You will pay 13% on the cost of the miner which is 395$ + UPS shipping fee of 35$.
UPS will also charge you 10$ brokerage fee + HST.
And no a legit business will not break the law and commit fraud by declaring the goods at a lesser value.

Juan,

How are you guys handling the Coupons/Refund based on Bitmain's annoucement?

1)   10.0% worth of coupon for the B1~B3 customers. This is the default option.
2)   7.7% worth of refund. We will release a function on our official website for application of this option. If you have bought from our resellers, please contact them and provide your Bitcoin address.

Thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671189.460


Just trying to follow up on this, tried calling no answer. Sad

I've been following up on this too and no answer yet.

Don't think Juan has a Canadian site. I only know of Bitcoinware and its over priced. There is no duty to import just pay tax on the  declared amount. So doesn't matter if from Juan or Bitmain. Juan does charge extra for shipping.

Hello

Sorry for the delays I was in a trip to Iceland to speed up the setup of the new Data Center to host miners.

I am processing all the orders that are on hold during the weekend, if your order is not in Processing status by Monday please let me know.

We will stop using the Chase Bank and we will return to our Bank of America account because looks Chase does not like Bitcoin related business.

Regards

Juan


Are you legit, could I feel safe ordering from you?
Thanks!

Yes. I am in Toronto as well and have ordered from 112bit in the past without issue. Just got an s3


What did you use as a power supply?
I'll just copy what you got.

Also how much was duties and taxes?

Back when  I  ordered from batch #2 the declared value was 440 dollars so had topay HST on the 440 plus ups 10 dollar fee. I use corsair and EVGA gold PSU s to drive  all my miners.

Batch 3 has been delivered. I am getting labels on the units so FedEx can come pick them up. All purchasers of Batch 3 should get tracking E-mailed to them today. If they do no, let me know.

Hey Benny, still no tracking number for my Order #3633

Thx/Jason.

Hi Jason,

It may be an extra day or two before yours go out. AntMiner screwed up and shipped only 50 of the 55 we ordered. I am still sorting out how many we have left to ship out. We found this out last night once we started processing. BitMain has yet to tell me what's going on Undecided

As soon as they say something, I will let you know. Very sorry for this!

Got your notice about shipping and waybill has been created. yay! Thanks so much!
