It's good that they have been silent in the threads the last few days ... may mean they're preparing for announcements.
I think we have a general estimate what to expect from the kits, all positive, except for cost. The cases and psu's must cost them a small fortune alone to ship, usually 2nd day air to U.S.. The S1 kits weren't much of a savings and appeared late in the S3 life cycle. One saving grace is Bitmain seems to have paid attention to their customers concerns on cost. Except for their recent price hike and the "Look at us, we are the only one shipping" mentality. "Good things come to those who wait" "Great things come to those who don't!"

Hi Guys,
How big is the chance that the Antminer S2 upgrade set will be using the same (newer) asic chips as the Antminer S6.
I truly believe there's a great chance.
I would be to expensive to create faster hashing chips in such a small timeline between S2 Upgrade an S6.
Using the same chips for S2 Upgrade and S6 gives them some extra space developing 16nm for future.
From what I've heard from the people receiving batch 5 of the S5, some are receiving clearly used miners, so the educated assumption would be that bitmain are not simply testing the next-gen chip to feature in the S6, they are actually replacing their S5 rigs with the newer S6 in their facilities. What has that got to do with the S2 upgrade kits I hear you ask? Well, I bet top dollar that they will have the chips in the S6, seeing they could have released an S5 chip based kit by now. Agreed. That's why they tried this before and are willing to lower the price of the S5. Do you really think they did a huge batch run of thousands of S5's just to end it. New tech soon I hope. Us S2 owners may be in the sweet spot. |

My guess is Bitmain will finish sales of S5's this week and wait a week before launching either new tech or S2 kits. I also think a S4 kit possible. Hope not. I want S2 kits before I shut them down.

It's obvious it's not their high priority. Testing was started 2 weeks ago. If released soon with those specs and a decent price it could be profitable but time will tell.

No info at this time... Please wait for the official announcement BitmainWarranty any updates?
Like a time range? like in 1-12 months?
I guess what we're asking is a time frame for this announcement. You now have prolonged and teased us with possibilities of the kits being ready for shipment by the end of this month. |

Is an offer still on the table or is this a dead thread?

Pm'd ..... Eventually it would have got moved.  |

How many of those can run on a 10 port hub?

Drool.... just noticed made in U.S.A. hope it's priced like a Chevy. Too bad it's not NextGen, but silence is also key.

When in doubt don't overclock the sh%t out. M's Miner Monitor, name changed I believe. |

What size screws are used on the S2 case? Have a few needing replacement. |
|
|
|
NO new news..... Nothing... Niente...Nihil...Nein... NADA,無, 没有...  Hey BitmainWarranty, any news coming soon on the upgrade kit?  Aww.  All my S2s are shut down now, they suck more than they make... Ya, that's why we keep bugging them. A little to late for this info I'm afraid. Come on step it up please. |

When you are putting the paste on the Antminers, does it need to be non-conductive AND non-capacitive?
The CoolerMaster paste doesn't say so. Only the MX-4 but those are like $10 for 4 g
That's my question too, but for the money seems like you could cake on a whole farm with it. I'm awaiting purchase for this answer. It says it is for cpu and heatsinks but if it is at all conductive may damage being on the board. I don't know for sure. Someone chime in. |

Nice! Can we expect any info this week on the kits? And are they on schedule?

I'd say real close. Same type of sound ( low hum ) not high whine. I had five S3+'s and my 2 Ant S2's are about the same in db.
