Title: [Antminer S1 open for sale again] The first round after the Chinese New Year
Post by: chopsticks on January 30, 2014, 06:27:48 AM
For those who didn't notice -- the Bitmain Antminer 180 GH/S is now available from Bitmaintech.com for 1.45 btc.

That's a price reduction of .45 btc for those who are arithmetic impaired.

**
Anyone who just purchased their miners at 1.9 btc want to trade (or donate) their .02 per miner coupon please contact me ASAP.

I didn't see a way to transfer the coupons, how do you do it?

If it had been a 0.2 BTC coupon I may have ordered one.

$20 is $20!  Or about half a day of mining with an S1 currently.

Your math is off there.

At this moment at bitstamp 0.2 btc = $160

What does this mean, especially the reference to the coupon. I am guessing that Bitmaintech offers no price protection for people like me who paid 1.9BTC only 1 week ago!?

Bitmain gave out 0.02 coupons to people who bought at 1.9 BTC, log into their site to see it in your account.

As far as "only 1 week ago", the new price applies to devices which will ship after feb 8th,  9 days from now.  If they hadn't lowered the price substantially they wouldn't sell any at all— at least not to sane customers.

At this moment the coupons are not 0.2, which is obvious if one reads the post I quoted.  So yes, my math is off and it should be: $16 is $16!

technical question about miner - can you mine any sha256 coins, or it is locked to bitcoin?
can you use different mining software, or only the built in?

Excellent point good sir!    I don't know that I consider 0.02 an incentive..  I think I'll wait another month until all my current S1's are paid off in full before going further down the rabbit hole.

Shopping cart works fine for me.
Although I haven't done the final ordering step.

My order is in the cart, Bitmain already had my mailing address and bitcoin address.
All looks fine on my end.

It's reportedly working now.

Wishing for a 0.02 btc coupon but I don't know if they can be transferred.

His old page was loading slow, but is now working normal on my end. The website you are being redirected too, I am unsure who/what that is. Maybe a reseller? The prices don't match the original Bitmaintech.com website either so I would use some caution with that site, unless somebody can vouch for it.

Yeah might just be very busy with traffic, strange that google redirected me to that site. I have only bought from Sushi or Bitmain direct website

Still waiting.

Addendum : Arrived promptly, all on time and within 48hrs of departing the Chinese factory.  Double cardboard box packaged, no damage.  Very impressed with Bitmaintech !
