Hi i would like to order some, pm me.

People are crazy these days!!! Oh no! Wait... Im just jealous :P

Hi Sushi,
can you please reserve 1
Thanks

Sushi... can I bribe you to take one for USD, and or air travel tickets? (Since you like to fly around to review asic companies, might save you some time and effort)

Id love to get one of these for my facility, too hard not to collect.

Sushi, can I bribe you to get one Antminer for me for free?

Id love to get one of these for my mining collection :D

:)

I wish I have some to give out but I don't have any samples to give out...

If I can get a green card to HKG or UK, I might  ;D ;D ;D

What green card? You can deliver it to my hkg address :) hkg is the best place to live :D

I will still be taking one as per PMs paying tonight when I get home.

1. Post a message stating how many you want to buy

I would like to purchase 2

2. Send the payment to the payment address

Payment on the way

3. PM me your tx# and shipping information (Name, Full Address, Phone Number)

Information on the way.

Thank you!

i was in the wait ing list before, do i not get one? i am ready to pay

:P 中国可以加入这团不 ;D

Wish I could afford a second!  I keep letting everyone can think of know about this.

The group buy is closed. Please don't pay any funds if you has not complete the payment.

This forum (bitcointalk.org) goes down a lot right now. 

So if you see this group buy and serious about buying the AntMiner, please e-mail me.

It will ship on 12/3


15 AntMiner Available

ThankS

I hope you had his ok since Bitmain said don't send any more money :)

BITMAIN, for gods sake, please, put in a invoice in USD when shipping
and dont underdeclare it too much - put 2x the shipping cost at least

sushi, could you add me to the paid list for my two units? Thanks.

I agree, shipping electronics with too low a declared value only exacerbates the customs wait unless everything looks at least somewhat legit.

sushi, could you add me to the paid list for my two units? Thanks.

Well, not the FULL amount either, just something like ~$50 or something more believable.

After we shipping out the unofficial group buy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=353650.0) units tomorrow, we will start a 24 hours auction immediately (The 3rd Round Auction) again in the auction board. The rules are similar: uniform price auction. The quantity is much more than two previous auction: 120 units; And we introduce two other rules which is good for winning bids.

Auction will last for 24 hours, in China's Wednesday.

The winning bids will be shipped out in two days: Thursday and Friday.  (Dec 5th~6th) The highest bids will be shipped out first, though the pay the same uniform price.

We use UPS shipping, and we accept only Bitcoin.

Coupon
All previous auction winners will have a 0.1BTC coupon per unit bought, and each unit can use only one coupon. for example, a forum member who has bought 3 units from us, and he bid 5 units in The 3rd Round Auction, he can save 0.3BTC in the final amount. If the same forum member only bids 2 units in The 3rd Round Auction, he saves only 0.2BTC.


Quantity Discount
And this time, the final amount will involve a quantity discount. The 3rd~5th units will have a 2.5% discount. The 6th~10th units will 5% discount. Units larger than 10 will have a 8% discount. Quantity Discount will be used after the Coupon, if both of them valid.

If there is any misunderstanding involved in the above two rules, we have the right to decide which explanation is valid.

declared value should be a 2-3x multiple of postage cost for credibility, more if the item is rather large

otherwise its suspicious because why someone would pay 200$ shipping for a strange 50$ chip thingy

Hi Sushi - I was unable to report my transaction for 4.25 BTC since the forum was down (at least in the U.S.) until a couple hours ago. I contacted Bitmain about it on Facebook today.  Was very confusing.  Anyway, it got done somehow.

Transaction is 2be0a1cd29b03f7778dd0de6e91730cbc99acfd010202011145cb19cc091b0e4

Please hold the second unit for the next shipment.  Thanks!

Prototypes

to private end users, seems legit  ;)

EUDSSR customs is pain in the ass
Be glad if you are from a part of the world where it is no problem to import electronics as a private person

Anyone receive a tracking number yet?

Most of the goods were shipping out, only two of them were refused by UPS as of wrong zip code or wrong address. We will give tracking numbers soon.

Nice . Now everyone is curious if is one of them who was refused. :)

Hi
Look on first page of this topic. list is updated.
This is not you, so don;t worry ;)

the last time ppl from auctions said :
computer accessories - 120 usd price :), this time  should be the same, I hope so (invoice)

Apologies for the bother, but is it possible to get tracking numbers for the packages ?

+ 1 tracking would be nice. Would not want to miss the delivery man  ;D

Give time for tracking, check out the UPS website for delivery times. Depending on which one Bitman use Max Delivery will be Monday, Earliest Thursday and Save Option was arriving on Friday and that was delivery to UK.

I'm sure Sushi will update us tonight or in the morning. At least we know our miners have been sent :)

Thanks

Thanks sushi, order shipped. We need more sushi and BITMAIN in the mining market :)

True !!

Apologies for the bother, but is it possible to get tracking numbers for the packages ?

any news on tracking as yet ?

Yeah except there was a SNAFU and mine didn't ship yesterday.  So I really want to know where mine is and when its getting here.

Just finished sending all of you the tracking number.  I'm sorry for the delay.

SUSHI

logistics are sorcery :D

mine startet in China, got to Thailand, then India, then Dubai, returned to India and now arrived in Germany

;D

my parcel stuck in Germany as well, they are sleeping now :)

so is mine  ;D

Koeln, Germany  12/04/2013  6:59 P.M.  Arrival Scan 
What you got ?

I'm fairly certain it will go to California first then back across the pacific.

Is now in Düsseldorf 1:15 or "Düüdooo" like my sweety calls it ^^

7pm Cologne everyone... plane half loaded with our EU orders? ;D

Update :)
Koeln, Germany  12/05/2013  2:07 A.M.  Departure Scan 
500 miles left , maybe today ;)

Looks like all our miners are on the same plane ha, hopefully delivery tomorrow. Should be in UK for 5am then hopefully to depot by 9am for same day delivery :)

Fingers crossed :)

Mine's also in AK... which means it has to come all the way across the US.  I'm guessing Friday at the earliest but probably not until Monday :(

Arrived so fast to UK yet only 30 miles away from me and

"Exception Edinburgh, United Kingdom    05/12/2013    8:11   Adverse weather conditions"

Think that means it's too bad to deliver ?

Spoke to UPS and looks like there way a delay due to the 100mph winds are are getting the now plus a £52 charge to pay which is a fair bit,

Delivery will be tomorrow though :)

I just ghet mine 1 unit, the second one will be tomorrow :)
Hashing now, setup took 5 minutes lol. no customs tax to pay :D
Kind regards everybody, especially SUSHI !! top men you are.

You will get a letter through the door in a few days they told me, they don't mention this when they drop it off though.

Glad you got 1 working so far :) Looking forward to mine tomorrow :)

Well done too Sushi and Bitman for getting these sent out quick though  8)

novy, I really do feel for you.  On the other hand textplorer said in the thread do not send any money until Bitmain confirmed the GB.  I don't know why you sent any money.  Should textplorer give it back?  Obviously.

stuck in warehouse in Ca - status says "Awaiting release from Clearance/Government Agency."

my 2 have arrived and are hashing.  only concern is they are only hashing around 140 - 145 gh/s according to the web configuration, but only shows 120+ on btcguild.  some of the asic's are showing an X in the asic status.  temp's are showing below 50.  who do i need to get with for support/returns/replacement/etc?

stuck in warehouse in Ca - status says "Awaiting release from Clearance/Government Agency."

I spoke to UPS international on the phone and they confirmed that the package had cleared customs at a prior time than the timestamp used for the "Awaiting release from Clearance/Government Agency." timestamp. My shipment status went from "in Warehouse" to "Exception" (noting unexpected event).

Another gov branch looking more closely?

*Edit*: My status just reverted to "In Warehouse" now... weird.

Hi can you show us your stats ??
I have got between 1-4 x . This is connected with power supply.
You should check wires, try reboot machine.
let us know.
I already reboot, and lowered my x from 4 to 1 on blade nr.1.

i did reboot and am getting a bit better, but still 10% less than 180gh/s.  and as you can see the 2nd one is worse than the 1st with almost a full row of X's.

1st - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23772269/antminer1.JPG
2nd - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23772269/antminer2.JPG
btcguild stats - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23772269/antminer%20btcguild.JPG

you can try swap the wires, maybe something is weak connected.
What psu ? one or two per antminer ? how many wires you got, what wires (are they hot) ??

one power supply per antminer.  the one on antminer1 is a dell 600+ watt.  it has 3 x's on ASIC status.  the one on antminer2 is an Ultra 1000 watt.  it has 7 x's in a row on ASIC status.

i have at least 4 12v and 4 ground on each power connector for both units.  wires are not hot at all.

Mine is marked "Exception" as well.

It's a beautiful thing... China to Connecticut in 2 days, set up in 45 minutes (had to find my wire strippers, took a bit) and overclocked in about 10 seconds.  Happily hashing away at 200Ghz.  Huzzah!  Thanks again sushi for taking this over.

No use goxed's guide and ssh.

I am jealous of all of you that have yours already. Mine is stuck in customs right now. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hopefully this doesn't happen for my other three units.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.0

There's the guide.

I am waiting for 2 units , but 
first unit is out for delivery today
second :The scheduled connection was missed / Expired-unable to resolve exception .
OMG... the same times, one get on the truck, the second one no ... ??

stuck in warehouse in Ca - status says "Awaiting release from Clearance/Government Agency."

I am waiting for one more unit as well :).
Ok who want a shoot of vodka ?

Sushi, any word when the next batch of these will be coming round the mountain? thx!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=344970.0

Hillarious!  Well my box finally got released from customs in California, so hopefully you guys stuck in customs are seeing an update in your tracking.   The bummer part is that they now are showing a delivery of Monday.  If I see it makes to the state I will see if I can do a pickup at the airport.

Good news. Sushi has my email but pls do let me know when. Thanks!

Wifey decided to play a prank on me. I almost shit myself... LOL

My thanks Sushi for stepping in and Bitmain for delivering ;D

I have a status screen full of 0's and the unit is hashing at 183GH/s whist drawing 450W at the wall with a steady temp of 48c and an ambient of 23c.

Fekkin' marvellous!

450W seems a bit more than advertised no?

Get your pitchforks ready!  ;D

450W seems a bit more than advertised no?

Not yet but if you could shoot me an email at joshmon@e-mail.ph. I will keep you inform as soon as I know a group buy, auctions I, last minutes cancellations and other I stock ASIC sales elsewhere!

Would you kind enough to post a close up of your PSU to be able to see the brand?

Also close look on your wire connections!

Also if the wires are getting hotter or not.

Also the hard reboot the power cycle and take some sample status on the ant miners in a few hours time frame. Such as 39 minutes between or an hour between? 

Thank you!

450W seems a bit more than advertised no?

Yes but I am running two old Corsair powers supplies to get both blades up.

Got mine yestarday and now hashing. Perfect and easy setup.
Thank you Bitmain and mainly Sushi for support and for fast delivery. Looking to buy some more of these ants.

That is about 80w higher than what I measured. Are you running it in the normal household room with hearted on for the winter or regular office setup or in the cooler area?



yep, same here, 445W with two PSUs

Normal house with winter heating on but burning less heating oil as we have a 450w electric heater in one of the rooms  ;)

But your heater  ;D bring you BTC while burning!!!
