They will probably EOL it on 5/28 or, as they put it, 5/29 00:00:00, whatever this means (GMT, Shanghai?)-this is when last coupons expire. Or they can pull a fast one and do it one-two days early...LOL

112bit/Juan-Since I did not get an answer over the weekend, i will ask again:
How much faster is $35 UPS delivery vs Free delivery? Is it the same speed, one day faster, 2 day faster, etc.?
Is the same, orders over u$s 1500 can do free shipping. I need to fix it in the checkout page just to avoid the u$s 35 shipping for orders over u$s 1500.- Regards Juan OK, great, thanks.

ha ha ...you beat me by a second in that reference. Are you in Houston?

In the meantime, I want to pistol-whip anyone who will start whining that this would happen if I would say more positive things...
Wow, you surely sounds like one infamous historical personality here

It is much better to buy $5k in Bitcoin now, than to pay $5,000/BTC later. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) One can use the rest of 2014 to slowly accumulate XBT/BTC. Say, use 5 % of your income to steadily buy BTC every two weeks. Even if it goes to zero eventually, your losses will be limited. If, on the other had, BTC will be THE MONEY in 10-15 years, relatively small amounts of BTC accumulated now will be very valuable later on.

I'm at a loss for words. This is just incredible. Shameful. USA, get your shit together. Exactly. Have we become China yet or what? Since when hedge funds are suppose to invest in super safe securities and how it is their bank business what Second Market invests in? Sounds almost like April Fool's news ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Yes, they were perfectly happy to invest in CDOs that had, incidentally, triple A ratings.

Hi, Juan. Can you comment on UPS shipping for $35 vs Free shipping in terms of how fast the item will be here in US at my doorstep? Aren't they all coming from Shenzen?

I'm sure Bitmain is doing some serious damage with all the S1 and S2s they are producing.
As they always have. But they are about to have some serious competition from asicminer. Hashratio is selling 8TH machines using AM chips for $11,000 which is by far the lowest price. Source? http://www.cybtc.com/article-956-1.htmlbitmain is at $1/GH vs $1.375/gh in your example, so Bitmain is marginally better without considering electricity. However, what is power consumtion on hashratio machine and is it available with instructions in english? I am a bit too old to learn a third difficult language. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I am sorry, what does that mean?
Nobody noticed that with coupon S1 is now at the magical $1/GH (even without overclocking at BTC~448-450)? Yeaaah...

I see now why they are not buying with such gusto anymore. Coindesk has news that says that at least one of their bank accounts was cancelled. What a bummer. http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-businesses-detail-banking-setbacks-at-us-task-force-hearing/Annemarie Tierney, general counsel and legal EVP for SecondMarket, told the panel that the high-risk profiling recently cost the company a long-time banking relationship.
She said:
“[The bank] gave us notice yesterday that they wanted to end that banking relationship, in part because our transitions around bitcoin, even though we’re not an MSB or an exchange, [it] raised our risk profile and it was too much work for them to figure it out.”

What I keep thinking when I see these charts is, "can it really be this predictable?"
Of course, not.

did the lucky recipients of their own money back receive any email or correspondence wrt their refund or did it just arrive silently?
I never got any confirmation before or after from KNC, the refund just appeared in my wallet I got an email just as blockchain showed the transaction...and now I even got a small piece of IKEA furniture from our local hub as a token of appreciation for my zero % five mo loan to KnC... ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) (just kidding) Edit: On a more serious note, I think that the idea for Neptune design (being Jupiter-like if they will try to maintain it) was blown away by dense chip arrays from Spondoolies and Bitmain. Neptune hash/$$ is just not appealing anymore when we've got $1/GH in S1 (despite it being a power hog), ~$1.6 in S2 and ~$2.1 in Sp-10 while the expected value for Neptune remained at $4.4/GH. Besides, these two competitors are shipping NOW from stock. I conclude that preorders had become a losing game for now (for miners)

I just got one of those last week. I have it cooling a room with a FrankenJup and an S1. The room now stays at a chilly 85f, lol. But at least the home A/C can now switch off once in awhile. It was running 24/7 otherwise. I am not sure about the thermodynamics of it. Where does the heat exhaust go? In other words, does it have windows exhaust? Heat has to be transferred somewhere.

Can we move the coupon discussion to one of the two available forums (one for free coupons, one for those who wants to sell)? Re S2, can someone post about how noisy they are (preferably in db, but also in relative terms as well) to evaluate possible location for units? Same room, basement, garage, another building. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Readings in db from two units running in a garage were ~70db at a distance of ~18" and ~68db at a distance of ~3m. Great, thanks, much appreciated.

Juan (or anybody else),
What are you hearing about S2 batch 4 as far as reliability is concerned? I know that Juan have a bit of a conflict of interest here, but nevertheless...
|
|

thanks..
okay no more s-1 coupons are needed.
and miniMiner please let me know about the s-1 you still owe to me
Thanks for sending a S2 coupon to me, it was nice of you and completely unexpected.

I have the last S1 coupon for a college or high school (preferably) student. Let me know.
So, there are no college or high school students who need my last S1 coupon? Only enterpreneurs/unemployed/retired/consultants? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) My wife is a teacher and rolls her eyes at my bitcoin obsession...If that counts, my bitmaim ID is dulac97 ! Absolutely...mine does too. Edit: You've got it (ID biotechvictim)

BitMain now allows transferring AntMiner S1 and S2 coupons to other customers for their use. I have 15 S1 0.05 BTC coupons and 30 S2 $400 coupons available. I'll sell the 0.05 BTC S1 coupons for 0.02 BTC each or five for 0.075 BTC or all 15 for 0.15 BTC. I'll sell the $400 S2 coupons for 0.2 BTC each or five for 0.9 BTC or all 30 for 4.5 BTC. PM me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcuattnzmfboxg/BitMain_coupons.gifThis is not a thread for selling (see title).
