Moderator, I will delete the pictures and all shortly. Thank you.
What I was curious about is how long it takes for payment to be confirmed and they send an email to me? I already received an email telling me I have one hour to make my purchase before cancelation. I completed that purchase about 2 minutes after receiving that email.
Within a few hours, usually. Don't worry, as long as you sent the correct amount of BTC to the address they provided, you'll be fine. What did you buy, S3 or S4? I am sitting on 13 S3 coupons you could have used as well as S4 coupons probably won't use. We could have reached a deal both would have been happy with.
LOL. Are you upset with this guy for not contacting you in order to buy a coupon from you before he made his purchase?  Not that it is any of your business but he mines at a pool I do and I have had several conversations with him and would have given him a coupon NC. Not sure if it was you or not, sic, who had the S4 coupon that expired like October 24th, which was no good for me. Oh well, too late now. Probably too late for the next one. I will get another S4 as soon as I earn enough to get one. I should earn BTC a little faster than before. It's like adding 4 and a half S3's to my farm when I get one of these S4's. I hope I have no issues with this S4 when I receive it. I have been a bit hesitant after seeing a youtube video of an S4 smoking and the difficulty issue on pools that start low and slowly wind up higher. I was going to wait for batch 3 but I just couldn't wait any longer. LOL David At this point, I don't think you are going to have any problems at all with your S3 when you receive it. BITMAIN has sorted out the bad PSUs. Just make sure that you don't try to power it with a circuit that is already using a decent amount of wattage. In fact, I would recommend dedicating just one single circuit to the S4 and the S4 only. 1400W can be a lot for some residences to handle (Im assuming you are a home miner), especially if you already have a bunch of S3s connected to the same circuit. I deleted the pictures. They can be viewed again at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=766998.40 |

No problem, David it is and these are good to the 13th and 15th if you need one pm me.
Damn, wish I would have known. I will not get another till approximately 3 to 4 weeks from now. The coupon will be expired by then. Maybe someone else looking at this forum will know you have some available if they are in the market for an S4 before the 15th. |

I purchased with the price of BTC at $370.19
I wasn't sure if it would hang in there much longer to the evening. I put Monday at midnight as my cutoff date for purchase.

I'm curious...
I sent a payment to bitmaintech.com via Coinbase wallet approximately 5 minutes ago to purchase one S4. I have sixteen (16) S3's I have purchased on eBay; ten (10) of which were mailed straight to me from China. This is my first purchase from bitmaintch.com. Hopefully, it will not be my last.

BTC HEADING U KNOW WHERE...  See ya there soon~~~~ |

I am even hoping that I loose that bet.
I just got back from taking my 3 year old son to the park to play. Nice seeing BTC back up a little again. Still a ways to go though. It's possible... Heck, I would be happy with $450.00 The reason I say that is because difficulty will be at least 43 billion next time it changes. Could be as much as 46 billion. I'm thinking it won't start climbing until after Gavins blockchain fork....but anything is possible. I believe you're right The Russian currency coming close to crashing is promising to bitcoin rising a little before the fork. |

More of the pie for the rest of us.
Agreed, but you really hate to see that happen to anybody! Sounds like some foul play after reading in their forum. Appears the fire may have been started by 2 people from outside the facility in the wee hours as the sun was rising. Not sure though. It sounds like someone may of had it out to get them. They could have been involved with the wrong people. Or, the wrong people tried pushing themselves into a piece of the pie but they would not let them have a piece and end up having their place burned down. Who knows? But yes, it does leave a little bit of change for us. |

Thanks for providing... Yes, the picture I posted is a picture of the aftermath. I can tell by the angle of the ceiling. The lights and ceiling were burned down, leaving only the rafters and roof. They were obviously able to put it out by the time it got the roof with rafters. Wow... What a terrible loss of equipment there. That was a very nice facility! |

And then shot back down after that big mining farm fire in Thailand.
Is that what this picture is?  |

That closet would make a great dryer. Nice setup I wish you great returns. I suppose it could make a great dryer IF I cut off the exhaust fan. It is actually quite cool in their at the moment. Internally the rigs are between 34 Celsius and 40 Celsius. They would get even cooler if I turn on the 8000 BTU air conditioner. However, I'm leaving it off till the summer time. The actual temperature in the closet is approximately 73 Fahrenheit without the AC on. I have a window open next to the closet door. It's allowing cool air to come in from outside and it's getting sucked in through the large grill/vent in the closet door. Yes, I hope we all get great returns here soon. BTC at $350.81 for the moment on BitStamp. We need help with BTC getting higher to contend with this rising difficulty. Thanks, David |

Look at the massive discontinuity in the estimated next difficulty graph. Bitcoin Wisdom often has a lot of trouble with the difficulty estimates after a change and it takes awhile to setting down. Another reason to not just always trust the number a calculator spits out.  Conversely, bitcoincharts tends to be more conservative, and ever since the ASICs started appearing has been a little low to start and gets closer to the final value as we get closer to the adjustment. We're only 248 blocks into the current 2016 block round, so it's a little early to make any prediction with any accuracy. It'll probably be somewhere between bitcoinchart's estimate and bitcoinwisdom's though, as it often is, but it could end up being even higher than bitcoinwisdom or lower than bitcoincharts. Edit: BTCinvest currently says "12.35 days left until -0.28% growth", btw. Estimates are all over the place. Yes, I'd agree with your statements. Still have to wonder with the graphs and all. Yes, it is a little early. I've noticed how it can settle down as well after a few days. The way it shot up this weekend has me wondering though. |

What on earth are you basing that off of? It's way to early to say it will be at least 43 billion. |

Upgraded from the purple 8 inch to the 14 inch Can Fan Max and the larger return grill inside the data closet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DxbWXo4dF4I held them up side by side for you to see the difference. The 14 inch has 1820 CFM and the 8 inch has 720 CFM. So, I more than doubled the suction. Now, it really is a serious wind coming through the 16" x 25" filtered grill I have in the closet door. The air is coming through it BIG TIME. It will blow my shirt over my head if I do not tuck it in my pants. The 14 inch Can Fan Max is sucking air through the vented door that hard. I thought I would try it for an hour without the AC I installed turned on. Temperatures from rig to rig range from 36 to 41 WITHOUT the Air Conditioner on. I'm sure I may need to turn on the AC in the summer time. This should be plenty of suction now for when I add eight S4's to this closet. Just thought I would share this in case anyone thought about putting their rigs in a small space in their home. I will end up with 8 S4's and 16 S3's when its all done. A total of 23.2 Th/s.   Don't mind the mess. I'm still remodeling the downstairs. I need to put some base molding at the bottom of the walls. I also need to finish grouting the tile in the data/mining closet.  In this picture you see the 8000 BTU air conditioner I installed and it is on. This closet is only 122 Cubic Feet. The 8 inch exhaust fan had 720 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of suction but needed help with the Air Conditioner I installed. That 720 CFM was not enough suction for the heat being generated by the rigs. I could not imagine what the heat would be like once I add eight S4's to this closet. That's why I installed the 14 inch 1820 CFM exhaust fan. I can have it going without the AC on and the temperatures are acceptable to me with the door closed [36 C to 41 C in each S3's "miner status"].  In this picture you see the 8 inch diffuser on the back wall near the ceiling that used to be installed for the 8 inch exhaust fan. That was recently replaced with a 16 inch filtered return grill that you see in one of the first pictures above.  This is a picture from the back side of the closet in the garage when I had the 8 inch Hyper Fan 720 CFM. It has since been replaced with the 14 inch Can Fan Max 1820 CFM  I've allowed for 3 inches of clearance between the wall and the back of the 20 inch shelves to allow power cords or any other cords to pass through.  This is a picture of the vertical 1.5 inch PVC pipes with elbows installed on the garage wall adjacent to the data/mining farm closet. You see them just to the right of the 6 feet latter.  This is a picture of when I cut eight 17 feet runs of wire outside in the driveway for the data/mining farm closet before install.  This is where my rigs were downstairs just to the left of the closet I have them in now. My wife was complaining about the heat and the noise. So, I had to come up with something.  |

We need BTC to be more than double what it is right now when the number of BTC's per block cuts in half in 2016. The reason I say BTC needs to be MORE than double is because the difficulty will be very high by then. Maybe as much as 70 to 80 Billion.
