Thanks man that would be awesome.

I am interested in purchasing 1 x unit. So how do I go about this, I contacted Innosilicon and they said minimum order is 4 x so they then referred me to this thread, so here I am. Please let me know what I need to do via PM.

Kind Regards

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that as mining moves forward and if large mining operations (cloud miners), fall off due to inability to afford to pay to mine that the difficulty level would actually drop instead of continue to go up since a substantial amount less of hashing power will be attempting to solve each block within the pool?

I am curious to know, I hope that slush or another pool operator could share their thoughts on this.

As it is right now he is absolutely correct in the sense that mining at the current and projected daily rates will not pay off, which is probably why there are SO MANY people trying to sell the S2's on ebay for a fifth of what they originally sold for, I do have a confession to make though- I currently don't have to pay for electric so there is no loss on that aspect for me personally and I got mine on ebay for $400/shipped and then did a chargeback so I technically got the equipment for free as well. I know what I did is despicable but I made out alright with it so far and the seller didn't seem to care much... Even at 1000.00GH/s, I only manage to mine roughly 0.02-0.03 btc daily so at the current rate it's about $8.00-$10.00 in a 24 hour period, it's worth it for ME because the electric is free, and the equipment was essentially free for me as well so I have been making money with it since I got it but for the average user the electricity costs will far outweigh what you can mine, even on a large scale operation with one exception, if the value of even 1 btc rises from the current avg of $370 up to say 10,000 in one day then you will make an enormous amount of money off one btc, and it's happened in the past where 1 btc skyrocketed from around $250 to $1000 in a day then steadily declined over the next few days and it's been forcasted from a btc enthusiast that one day the btc will skyrocket at some point in the next couple of years so it's a good assumption to save the btc you have mined and wait for the price to at the very least double, then payout or buy whatever it is you want, so in some aspects as the way things are currently it is not economically feasible for most people but there is the off chance that when the right time comes and one btc triples in value overnight that expensive gear will have more than paid itself off. So it's a game of chance really for people that haven't purchased mining equipment yet. And with the newly released S4 for like $3,000.00+, you would be better off getting 2 x S2's for $500 each on ebay and still mine the same amount as 1 S4, to me that price point just doesn't make sense just because it's new. 1 S4 mines @ 2TH/s, and the S2 mines @ 1TH/s so it makes more economical sense to buy 2 S2's IF you plan on mining, which right now really will put you in the hole money wise.
