According to "Bitmain employee of the Year" dogie in his updated "no conflict of interest here" manufacturer trustworthiness guide - these are classed as "minor" problems, so obviously they are not too bothered about it. Their "please wait patiently" phrase is one of their favourites, ask any S2 owner, they've been "waiting patiently" for 9 weeks now......and still nothing  Roll Eyes
He He---no conflict of interest....nice touch.

There is a conflict of interest with dogie's guide, as he is now an employee of Bitmain, so it has lost a lot of credibility I'm afraid.
AMEN! conflict of interest.

Bitmain, congratulations on the release of the S4.  Unfortunately, the pricing and efficiency do not justify the purchase.
Amen! all of that HYPE! for nothing! Already better price points available in the market now.  Even from Bitmain on the S3s and purchasing a power supply.

What confuses me is  why go through all of that just to disappoint your buyers?

simple, they want to drive people to their cloud product where they have more control over the customer and less exposure to liability .
Very well stated, hadn't even crossed my mind. Went from selling a somewhat decent product to a cloud hustle.

Thank God people think like that! Please sell your equipment! If you can only think in BTC terms then you are better shut down your machines!

I made 0.025BTC/day with 500Ghs this month! Thats 0,75BTC/month! If you know how and what to mine then the possibilities are infinite!

I agree it needs to be around .63 a GH/s and at these price levels , difficulty jumps, and electrical cost miners would still need a significant rise in the price of BTC just to break even.
that is great return,p2pool ?
really hope s4 is around lower than 1 USD per GHs

The problem is, 1 USD per GH/s is over priced..

Difficulty is up another ~15% in eight days , Not sure if it is worth it to invest in ANY new hardware at the current hardware prices .  Even with a coupon and discounts a SP35 or 31 costs over 3k with shipping

ROI is looking somewhat impossible because by October when units ship difficulty could be up 30% from now ugh.

Don't worry. It will drop down to about 5-7% just few days before next difficulty change ;-)
As always fine work with your charts and hardware predictions. You've saved a lot of investors more money and grief than you'll ever know. As you say "Pay it forward" I just want to say thank you again for paying it forward.

Now BA is posting my personal info in my trust setting?
....

Regardless of your reasoning, that is -again- seriously out of order, petty and unprofessional blackarrow. Get your house in order and sort your act out.
Agreed that is just such an invasion of privacy and I'm sure it borders on criminal as well.

If your GB stated $290 it should be $290 and nothing more regardless of power consumption. Those were the terms the customer agreed to.

People paid for the SP30 only. The hosting was a bonus offered to anyone that wanted. It wasn't enforced or anything and I am sure that it's based on the power consumption. The good thing is that I don't think that it will vary a lot because we can't push the PSUs a lot more than 2700W.

Also, Spondoolies emailed customers about a month ago asking for a commitment to either hosting or free shipping. If you didn't opt for hosting back then, it may be too late to get those prices. The fact that bobsmoke is asking now what the price is suggests to me that he didn't purchase it then, which is why I listed the rates Spondoolies is currently advertising.

The crippled Rockerbox ASICs might pull less than 2700W per SP30, in which case customers might get a rebate from their hosting provider. Or they might not. Depends on the DC's policy, I guess.

thanks!  btw do you know why Spoodoolies says there is no customs fee when shipping the SPxx from Israel to US? how do they import the machines into US?
I'm not 100% positive but I believe it's because of the free trade agreement between the US and Israel.

Come on guys.  Either finalise the pricing or close the group buy.

Stop fucking about.

Is it too late to place an order in the group buy? that is if it's going to happen?
