Title: {Open!} WTS Hosted Antminer Batch 2 S2 1T/hs
Post by: railzand on May 23, 2014, 07:52:12 PM
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=509658.0

Approx 7 weeks hosting included at miaviator's datacenter in Florida https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=57116

No power supply, no shipping. Please ask miaviator about that. I expect he'll post here soon.

It's on Leaserig, and this is a great way to earn a few extra satoshi.

We had a few problems with the sdcard, but this is a good rig, and competitively priced at

BTC4.20

Comes with hosting.

It's an S2 so it does have a built in 80+ PSU.

I recommend you don't ever ship it as it's a beast and they rarely survive shipping. :D 

Let me know if you have questions.

Ah yes. Guess who derped. It comes with the power supply. In my defence I'm a forgetful old guy, and I've never seen the rig, just mined and leased.

Miaviator's hosting is famously good value compared to some of the collocation professionals out there. I expect he would ship it, though, if asked very nicely. But why bother?

Today's exceptionally fair price is

BTC4.185

Take 4? Do you know what continued hosting will be?

No that's too little. I don't know. Ask him...

Hey S2 fans! Good news! This S2 is now back on the market.

I sold it to a guy, who then got scared or whatever because of sd card issues (dontcha just love 'em?).

Anyway, with said guy now fully refunded (wonder if he'll send me what he mined?), I am delighted to announce a new price for this beaut rig:

So what is the hosting fee per month for this beast?

It comes with hosting through 8/5/2014 after that I cannot make an accurate quote in BTC.

If you pay up front it's .25BTC monthly right now.   With price fluctuations and data-center changes I could guarantee a maximum price but cannot  set a firm price for hosting two months from now.

Also It's an S2.  They are absolutely notorious for corrupting SD cards maybe once a month.   I have spare cards and directions posted to the front of this machine to reduce any downtime due to this bitmain bug.

The sd card corruption can likely be solved by using a class 10 card - maybe :).

What batch is it?

By this I mean the batch ones did not have a hole for the PSU to breath so it overheated, I had to buy a new PSU for my batch 1's.

If I'm not mistaken batch 2 units do not have a PSU air intake on the side of the case. If the PSU lasts more than a few months I'll be surprised.

I expect miaviator will have drilled a unicorn horn into the side there to let the psu breathe. Thank you for the reminder.

Now, as to price, the dollar's gone down on the one hand, and Bitmain have ceased production of the full S2 on the other.

Wait, what? Bitmain did not cease production, they just took a shipping break due to some Chinese holiday. They will be back shipping a few days into June - like June 5'th. I hope they lower their prices :)

Nice to see that you lowered your asking price, but 3.97 is $2497 at the current exchange rate which makes the unit more expensive than with bitmain - especially when you add on the $400 discounts.

I scanned through the S2 thread and they are now supplying a kit, sans case, sans psu...

... and coupons are running out fast.

Remember this comes with world class hosting for over 2 months, and you could so easily be hashing on it tonight.

But I know my place, and am open to offers.
