So when BFL is not busy fucking their customers, they are fucking themselves?

I need an S2 coupon, anyone have a spare?

I am looking to get into mining by picking a pair of S1s. Anyone have any coupons available? My BMT name is hodor.

Thanks in advance =)

Need 4 S1 Coupons. Pmd

Hello, I need nine (9) S1 coupons, can anyone donate me some please? Nick same here as bitmain

Thank you very much!!!

damned i forgot

Hellooo

I would like to buy 2 S1's, but i need 2 coupons

Anyone has any left? i can only give you an S2 coupon (

i would really appreciate =)=)

I had a look through the source code and I would seriously suggest nobody use this application, there doesn't seem to be anything malicious but it is very poorly designed. It is parsing the Antminer web interface rather than hooking into the cgminer API. Loading the HTML interface on the Antminer takes up excess processing power and should be avoided at all costs especially on S1 which runs a MIPS based control board. Using this application could very well cause instability and reduce your hash rate.

i'd like to bring ya'lls attention to something else here...
we have gone from 130nm to 60 to 55 to 40 to 28 in how much time? just a year?

next up is 22 nm which is already in the works.  what's after that?

what size are the big gorillas on (and not even ASICs) here's some idea: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-cpu-processor-5nm,17578.html
why care about where big boys are? well, they tend to have an effect on what foundries are available for a specific nm size!!!

so by the end of this yr, Bitcoin ASICs may actually drive the nm size further down, and not the usual suspects (Intel, AMD)!??

I will make a bold prediction here that Bitcoin will begin (maybe accelerate is more appropriate of a word) anothor revolution wrt ICs and new technologies to base mining as well as other chips on...

damn these are exciting times we live in

It appears US Customs is holding 2-SP10's for 5 days to inspect to insure it is not counterfeit. OMFG these idiots would not know their a$$ from a hole in the ground and THEY are going to know IF a circuit is counterfeit. This is a nightmare, mean while antMiners are flying into the country at record rates, correct me if I am wrong but aren't they clones? UGH Next I guess they will STOP music piracy..

I have both S2 and SP10 in my racks...

SP10 is second to none in build quality and reliability.

S2 was built to be a cheap box they can just toss at customers and lower the price as needed -- like the S1.    

My S2 arrived as a pile of parts, i had to reassmble it and 4 of the hash boards were damaged in shipping so its hash as about 600 GH/s.  Trying to get replacements but communication is difficult.

SP10's are super high quality, very solid performers and a bit better power efficiency.    The web interface is very straight forward and simple to configure.

@ $3200 SP10 group buy VS $2599 for the S2, i would (and did) pay the extra money and buy the SP10 all day long.   Both should ship within a week or two.

I could do without the LCD and related display electronic circuits and instead have a 1050w or 1100w psu

Found this online:


Suggests you just need to bridge it.

Thanks for the update, I would still prefer to have my blades shipped all together in single boxes. I don't mind building also saves time at Bitmain end.

Could this be a possible option on the website ? would any other users agree ?

Not sure if Bitmain would take a group of concerns on board rather than just a few users so should take a count or a vote ?

At the end of the day it saves them hassle with RMA and pissed off customer if they just ship it how the customer asks.

Tempting... but still not a good deal. Sorry Bitmain.

Take a look at my spreadsheet, play with the editable cells and see for yourself.

Unless the S1's are recyclable in 2015?...

Average past difficulty jumps: 23% every 12 days.
Difficulty estimation: jumps 15% every 12 days.  But you can change that also in second sheet.

Comments are welcome. I'm always looking to improve everything.
