It is annoying as I want 1 more and I am waiting for the first one to show up as paid before I order the second one.
I never place orders over 2500 from china as I had a few tie up in customs for weeks.
So I figured I will place them 2 or 3 hours apart. SInce they have had this cancel your order error happen for close to 2 years to hundreds of buyers I knew to wait before the second order.
So if this sells out before they tell me the first one clears I won't be able to order a second one. Pretty annoying.
That is irritating. Interesting strategy breaking the orders up to avoid customs delays. It's been a while since I've ordered from Bitmain. Do they declare the full purchased dollar value to customs? I thought that they declared less (like the materials value or something). Maybe the hang up in customs you saw was just a random event. There was a warning when I ordered indicating that spot checks can result in a delay of a couple of weeks. I'm planning on buying more too, but I'm splitting the order because I don't have enough BTC in my wallet  I guessed wrong about the price and underestimated. Transfers from Coinbase take forever, and I don't have a high enough instant buy limit to make a difference. Maybe I can scrounge up a coupon from someone while waiting. I'll probably end up with new orders in batch 2. |

This has been a common error way back to the s-1 sales. After a few hours they should have it fixed.
I have had them fix it for me on s-1's s-3's s-5's and hopefully in a little bit on s-7's.
I want more and now must wait for the first one to clear.
Same thing happened to me. But rather than just wait for it to clear, I started a support incident. You'd think that after all this time they'd get their payment system right. |

I haven't bought since the S3+, so Bitmain didn't offer me any coupons.
If anyone has spare coupons I'd appreciate it.

When is this actually going on sale?

I'm having problems connecting to the US scrypt URL. I'm using the latest (as of a week or two ago) bfgminer under Minera with a Zeus Thunder X3. I can connect fine to the EU server: [2015-08-28 07:33:23] Pool 4 stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub alive But not the US server: [2015-08-28 07:33:53] Testing pool stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub
[2015-08-28 07:33:53] Closing socket for stratum pool 3 The rig is in Campbell California, so it's right around the corner from San Jose. I've tried disabling the profitability option in the password field. I also tried with and without "#xnsub" (originally the problem was without this option). Neither change helps. I've got two other rigs in the same LAN running an older cpuminer and old Minera with gridseed 5 chips that can connect to scrypt.usa.nicehash.com with no problem. All three rigs are behind a firewall, so they appear to the outside world to be from a single WAN address. Here's my command line for the problematic rig: /var/www/minera/minera-bin/bfgminer --scrypt -S zus:all --set zus:chips=128 --set zus:clock=332 --scan-time=1 -c /var/www/minera/conf/miner_conf.json Here's the excerpt from the json config file for the US pool (with the receive address and worker name removed): {
"url": "stratum+tcp:\/\/scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333\/#xnsub",
"user": "HIDDEN_ADDRESS.WORKER",
"pass": "x"
},
Originally I thought it might be a routing problem, but then why do the other rigs in the same LAN connect to the US server fine? Then I thought maybe it's a bfgminer problem, but why would it connect to the EU server and not the US server? I've got several pools configured on the problematic rig and it can connect to all of them except the Nicehash US server. Any ideas? |

He could implement an OCR interface for a full node, then fax his solved block to it. |

There's a blog post where someone figured out that he can compute 0.67 hashes per day with pencil and paper Manual solo mining for the win! |

whats happening on slash pool is the voting for bigger blocks size .
That's what I thought at first too. But if you look at the pool stats this whale is not pointed at the BIP101 port. And it is a whale, since it's got over 12 PH/s. |
|
|
|
|
Now the pool is 30 Ph/s.
Can't be Bitmain testing S7s because they would point at their own pool.
Maybe it's a whale come to enjoy the 0% fee?

The next difficulty keeps getting bigger: Conservative: 4.5% 5.5% Continous: 8.4 % so not good at all there.
And price as we all know sucks. 205.... ouch.
Something's gotta give. Either the price will bounce back or the diff will retreat, maybe next cycle. I think there is a lot of old gear still on the network that will be very miserable very soon if this exchange rate continues. Time to buy, which I just did (again). I know that I'm paranoid, but it does seem interesting that BTC price tanks right around the the time that more efficient hardware (e.g. the S7) is tantalizingly around the corner. Of course it's unlikely that Bitmain could manipulate the price like this. Could just be money moving out of BTC to the now cheaper equity market since stocks are down. The best thing for miners to hope for is a major price recovery soon. If BTC recovers before the S7 is announced, it could be a double win for miners. Better purchasing power for higher efficiently hardware, and theoretically some additional competition in the form of older hardware whose profitability could be lifted by higher BTC prices might drive down the S7 price (we can but dream). So now is the time for BTC to rise. Time to start sacrificing chickens, or whatever works for you ;-) |

Yep ... hash rate just shot up +8PH in the last couple of hours ..... hope that comes hand inglove with improved luck to boot!
Well it was 16PH. So +6PH. It was going up from 14PH ever since first XT block was mined... Its probably trivial, but it was a tad under 15PH (14.86PH and now 23PH+) EDIT: Seems to be dropping though ..... It's still at almost 24PH at the time of this writing. That's a huge increase from yesterday. This is not trivial. The question is it new hash rate, or just shifted from another pool? |

Cat says: +2.01% to +2.25%

Agreed. It's an intentional scam. Until an admin steps in, people should hit dailey123 with negative trust. |

Last batch of s5+: SCAM LINK REMOVED
This is probably a scam! Note that the text of the link above says "bitmaintech.com", but the actual domain is "bitmaintech.co". Looks like "bitmaintech.co" was registered on Friday August 21st, 2015. The main bitmaintech.com site says nothing about batch 2. |

Last batch everyone: SCAM LINK REMOVED
Yeah, I saw that link this morning too, but now I think it's a scam. Note that the text of the link above says "bitmaintech.com", but the actual domain is "bitmaintech.co". Looks like "bitmaintech.co" was registered on Friday August 21st, 2015. The main bitmaintech.com site says nothing about batch 2. I first saw notice of the last batch on reddit, but the link to the article was also likely a scam. The news article link on reddit was "bitcoinmaqazine.com" (note the 'q'), not bitcoinmagazine.com. Be careful. This is probably a scam. The question is did dailey123 intentionally obscure the above link, or was it an innocent mistake? |

EDIT: Looks like batch 2 is shipping.
I wanted one of these before the new chip announcement. While I'm still tempted (bird in the hand), I'm probably going to wait for the S7.
I take it back. This is probably a scam. See my next post on this thread.
