I'm looking to buy about half a dozen S5 miners.

I'm not too concerned if they work or not, provided they aren't all burnt up. I also don't want anything with chipside heatsinks (no S5+, just S5).

So if someone's got some dead miners now would be a good time to recoup a bit on that.

I'm in the US, so US sources preferred.

i have 2 dead s5's with the boards u are looking for , if i rember right one board had a blown up resistor , and the others all looked just fine just wouldnt hash

So you're not interested in any S5+ boards?  I have a couple of non-working ones that I can donate to your cause.

Nope, not at all. I might be interested in S5+ hardware for the museum but right now I don't have a lot of budget. This is for a chip-harvesting project so I need chips capable of being harvested.

I have 3 temperamental s5's gathering dust, they still work but have varying levels of nuisance ,quirks and attention to keep them hashing, no more than 2 xx' or missing oo's per machine

if you are just harvesting chips would you rather just receive the hashing boards and nothing else? it be no trouble for me to strip them down, it be cheaper to ship id suppose.

I also have a "non warranty-able" s9 hashing board i can throw in if that interests you.

Honestly, I'd be interested in the whole S5 machine in the OEM package. I might use the cores in a future project, and if not I'm wasting my own money on shipping.

Hey, i'm not sure if its worth shipping from Canada, but i probably still have that dead board that's technically your's. (We were waiting for the pod thing exchange) I don't know if shipping from Canada is more or less than what you planned on paying.

If its worth the effort for me i could disassemble one or two S5's. (I do have 4S5 and they mostly work, 1 or 2 flaky board, but on free electricity its probably best to keep the last 2 running than selling?)

Anyhow, just an option if you somehow can't find a easier source.

I probably should finish out some of the at this point comically outdated pod prototypes I have and see about auctioning them off or something. The last PCB I cooked up never got fully tested, but it should run directly off an S5 controller without having to hack anything.

I'll keep you in mind if I have trouble. I don't really need anything for a couple weeks so there's time to see what turns up.

I have 2 working S5's what are you offering for them?

Thanks!

Dunno. What do you want for them, shipped slow-boat to MO 65401?

i dbl checked mine and its only 1 s5 thats the style ur looking for ,  are u building more compaqs? if so can i just send it to u in return for a compaq or discount on one?
the other unit actually works so its prolly worth it more for me to hold onto that one

Stickler'd that one for you.

I'm harvesting chips mostly for a commission job, sorry. No sticks to give away.

darn i kind miss having usb miners for a lottery ticket, all i have left is 2x u2's for 4gh i dont even bother with them anymore .
anyways let me know what ur willing to pay for the 1 , hell if its enough i may even part with the full on working unit

ive actually been holding onto alot of s3/s5 stuff just incase those retrofit blades ever came to be

I'm really hoping I'll be able to build some for you, but right now I'm waiting for confirmed cooperation with a chip vendor. So far I'm at samples, but no datasheets or pinouts or prices. So who knows.

Tell you what, I'll see if I can scrounge up a Compac or two if you want to trade.

sounds like a deal just let me know

I have 2 antminer with missing io board. Everything else works wel, not damaged. How much would you offer for them

Well, I definitely ignored this thread for about two weeks. Whoops. Followed up to most of y'all.

I've got 2 working S5's with the acrylic side/bottom panels and dual push/pull fans

Asking .19BTC each shipped from the US.

Will accept BTC, ETH, LTC, or (Paypal + 3%)

I still have about 1 boards worth of pulled chips. Pm me an address and ill see if i can get em out tomm.

Oh yeah, what do you want for it?

Hi

I can sponsor you if you pay for the shipping:)

I honestly don't know what that means, but I am inclined to guess you don't know what I'm doing with them.

Hi,

You are looking to buy 6 x working or not working antminer s5, am i right? Its for some project or something. If that's the case, I'm happy and willing to sponsor you free for give away to you 6 x antminer s5. You don't have to pay me a single cents but only the shipping cost.

Oh, it's a language comprehension issue. I gotcha now, sorry. You would sell me six S5 for just the cost of shipping. Is that complete machines in the original packaging? Sounds like a good deal.

What do you estimate for shipping cost to US 65401?

Haha, sorry. My English is not very good. I will pm you.

Just saw this thread. I have two working S5s available. One of them has a defective Begalbone Black. However, i run it off the other's Begalbone by using longer data cables.

I'm in Canada. PM me with an offer if you still need more S5s.
