Luckily world doesnt spin around Russia, so no one will care. As if that is going to stop the Russians from trading in BTC. Have they asked the thousands of Russian miners if they are willing to quit? Even if they can't trade them in Russia, BTC is UNIVERSAL!!!!! Exactly well said, I think everyone needs to unite and just stop bloody reading what the press says and actual see the facts. Bitcoin can be traded worldwide it's not limited to 1 country. You can't ban bitcoin as no government controls it. Press just writes crap to make bitcoin always sound bad

I know this is a bit off topic but still relates to the mining off the S1 but why is the BTC price crashed ?
Why do exhanges like local bitcoins under cut the bloody market we should stay at a steady level. Maddness
uhhh... russia banned btc! Ops....Will they increase the BTC price for their miners ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) My bet is yes!!!!! If you are lucky you will be able to buy a miner at very good price. I hope BTC stables down hard to plan where to mine next and really is it worth it unless you have big investment. I think it would be nice to see a small Antminer pool setup with good rewards Yeah, prices might actually drop further. It seems the price of a miner is always pretty close to marginally profitable - unless you order from BFL ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Currently Bitmain has over 3500 orders to ship!! That's orders not units many people order more than 1 so OUCH! Bitmain hopefully an update tomorrow. For them to pack this many orders over the weekend or week would be crazy unless they have been working in secret during the holiday. Hopefully Bitmain bring some good news for us Where do you get 3500 orders? I only see 1618 transactions in their main wallet and a bunch of them are from before the price dropped. https://blockchain.info/da/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZConsidering they had(have?) 400TH online and is supposed to ship out 500TH(rough estimate, I know) I think the odds of them running dry is kinda low - I don't think they would have their entire stock online. Even though around 100 new transactions have popped up during the last 24h... I added up all the orders Bitmain has received from the day they closed and started accepting new orders, Only Bitmain will know the exact number I just added up all the transactions between the dates. I'm sure Bitmain will have things under control, but I do expect delays in the orders being sent as it's just impossible to send that many at once. As I said before hat off to bitmain and his team if they pull this off.

Also MT Gox has currently closed down for technical issues, ahhhhhh hate seeing BTC drop this low Mtgox isn't closed, they only closed their withdrawals. I heard something that they've announced to improve their withdrawal system, so people sold their BTC for cash, hoping they can actually get the cash back within 2 months not sure if this is 100% true I think everything will settle down for now back to topic: S1 Chat and Sales Bitmain orders going crazy with the BTC drop, Really how can they have this much stock, going by the account they are using for testing they have no where near enough units to supply the demand this is not even includings Sushis group buy But Bitmain if you read this please put a photo up of the UPS pickup would love to see so many boxes ahaha All the best Bitmain

Been a member since 2011, Just feel things have not been going so smooth since Jan 2014 ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Slush is a good pool don't get me wrong, just wondering what happened my logs show stratum server went off line. I have a backup ADSL as well as my Fibre line and my local internet never dropped. The connection to the Stratum server dropped!! Hopefully over the next 24 hours Slush will rise from this 20% Seems odd that other pools are racking in so many rounds in ahhhh luck these days

Website
504 Gateway Time-out
The server didn't respond in time.

Looks like my internet dropped or something too in the last 5 minutes or so killing my reward ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Same thing happened to me! My logs show the Startum server went down right as the round ended sounds rather odd to me ? Planned ? We've been closely watching logs of this super-long round and everything worked correctly. We're also not aware of any disconnection issues on the pool, the hashrate is also stable. So it looks like local issues. I'm sorry to hear about that, anyway :-/. I 100% beg to differ pool Hash rate dropped by 150 Th/s I highly doubt that many people had local issues. strange that you have only replied now when users start complaining.

Something is not right folks 20 secs before the 16h round ended all my connections to the startum server were lost making 2Th/s reward bloody gone!
Slush pool is up to no good or a bloody server crashed.
My time at slush may be up with the way things have been past week.
Anyone else get disconnected ?

I think that everybody here would appreciate it if someone analyzed Bitmain's wallet to see how many confirmed orders he has backlogged during the holiday.
Doesn't work that way. They have a unique pay to address for each unique order. Here is one of the main wallets https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZBitmain has only got 1 wallet the unique number gets forward to his main wallet, give me 1 hour to calculate how many since holiday start Edit since bitmain closed he has had 1284 orders some orders contain up to 30 to 100 ants per order so bitmain has A LOT to ship

I have a simple question:
S1 purchased before 8th of this month will be shipped all together after 8th ?
Bitmain has not said anything for a while but no way in my eyes can they post backdated order almost 500 to 1000+ orders in 1 day. Plus they have Sushi order to deal with, unless they have an army of workers working round the clock during china holiday then I see some orders will not be shipped till mid week. I would take my hat off to Bitmain and his team if they ship that many orders in 1 day. I would love to see UPS face off driver collection the orders. His van would be ridding low ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Import issues can be put to rest if the sender includes a commercial invoice which list the value of merchandise in USD and it's description. Description should have a code that all customs' can understand.
I included a note with my order, let's hope they don't forget to put the invoice on the box. Otherwise I will have to wait at least 2-3 weeks for customs clearance. Anyone have experience with the first batches? Did you get the invoice on the box? Invoice is pink slip on the box, this is always sent with Bitmain miners- is legal requirement for exporting from China - It depends on your local customs usually zero problems You can pay customs fee as soon as you have tracking number so it flys though customs and don't need to pay on the door either!
