Yes I want to buy one. Need it shipped to MA just don't want to overpay 

The problem is the chips wont be getting much faster. 20nm chips is about as far as they will go for quite some time. My prediction is you won't see 10TH rigs till next year

Are you going to adjust the price down a bit since btc is $520 now?

With gridseed blade it would be 1 blade, 5.8MHs= $1600

.0045 = .0261 BTC/day * $450(current BTC price) = $11.745/day = 136 days ROI

Not bad considering what it used to be but once Titan is released it is game over.

Smooth how much was shipping on your last S1 auction? Trying to figure out how much it will cost for my bid.

good to see it finally going up. Hope it stays 450+ and goes up from there but who knows.

You could go with this gridseed blade:

It includes everything and can overclock to 850freq for 5.8MH/s. Your other option is antminer s1's, you could get 3 of them with some btc leftover. scrypt vs sha-256 mining

On Ghash multi does anyone know if it is better to check "drop miner jobs when switching coins" or leave it off? I guess having the miner drop the job and go to the most profitable coin may offset losing work on current job but how long does a job normally run for? I have 5300kh/s and if I run 60 jobs a min then dropping the job makes sense but if it is 1 job/5 min I probably would want to finish it.

Does anyone have a better understanding of this?

I assume you are going to overclock these correct? If so you would be right at 1000w+ on your 1k plat psu. What you could do is lower the clock of one S1 on your 1k psu until you are under 1k watts. Most people like to have much more headroom but you might be ok(I push some of my plat psu's close to max). Use a Kill A Watt meter(buy at lowes or home depot) to see where you are at and go from there. Your 3 blades on the 650 should be ok.

In my testing my 393 clocked S1's are right at 400w on platinum psu.

How many cubes can you put on a psu if you don't overclock them? Is it possible to get 4 on a 1000w psu. After reading endless threads it sounds like most problems come from turbo mode but wasn't really sure if anyone puts more than 2 per psu.

I will start off with .6 BTC

I thought they said next S1 batch was going to be today? Guess I will have to keep watching the site.

I cancelled my order. search in aliexpress for "Block Erupeter" and you will see a ton of them with the exact same description and pictures. Not sure if any of them are legit but I don't see how all of them could be.

Any suggestions on how to power 6 cubes?

It sounds like I should power 2 each with a CX750m or something like that.

What is the cheapest PSU someone has been able to use for 2 cubes overclocked? Anyone have 3 cubes OC'd on single PSU?

I was thinking of trying this one. 2 rails both over 25 amps. I have read this thread among other threads on the web but no obvious choice:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817553016

What is the psu rated at? I want to make sure it can handle 400 watts at the wall if I OC it.

Even if VMC was legit those prices are insane.

A couple sites appear to be around 15%. I was hoping it would be less and with Antminer S2's hitting the market I don';t think this will change unless people stop hashing with old miners. opinions.

I still have some faith but it is low. I got into this because my dork skills could do something 99% of the population couldn't do in building mining rigs that could hash like no others. The thrill, excitement, building, knowledge of clocking up or down (gpu and cpu), endless hours tweaking because I enjoy it and it is all going away. I thought for an instant that my love for hardware would payoff and us tech kings would rise above. The fact is fun is being pulled out of me like a barbed wire being pulled from my mouth to ass. It isn't about the profits but doing something I love and making bank as a result. Doing something most can't even understand how to do. Maybe we made it to easy for them and these rigs that are plug and play just cater to people with money.

This was our thing and you know what I mean. We are the ones watercooling and building rigs that push the limits just because we can. Not to play a game but to push ourselves. Our domain is being taken over by people that know nothing and expect us to get their rig up to spec.

My rant is almost done. Is the solution to not help them with configs and sell our gpus to people thinking of a quick buck when market is crap? We will rise again and Asics will plague our domain whether good or bad.

Before this happens a spark in the market would be great. A coin doing DNA recombination or some shit like that.

It will pay for itself in like 90 days:
