Release B4  they are likely using the last few days to ensure happy B1-B3 customers. By the end of the week almost every order should be shipped and they can offer 48-hr shipping on B4 onwards. also, they probably need a few days to redesign the miner to achieve 500GH if its possible. 500GH Would be devine. Hopefully BITMAIN can do it. They told me they won't redesign it (I asked more info the DC/DC component). I got one unit that run at 250 mhz at ~503 GH/s (0.001% error rate) The other one, running at stock at ~434 gh/s (Any OC kill the performance) Same, I have 6 units and 4 run at between 485 - 503 GH/s the other 2 run at 420 - 440 GH/s . Attempting to overclock just knocks one or two of the asic's out until switch off. |

Batch 1 order, Still unshipped, and now we are going into the weekend. It will be the 21st on Monday. That is after their Promised(?) date of July 20th for Batch 1. Any one heard them mention any type of compensation if they do not make there window?
Confirm:1.5 BTC
Paid
Unshipped
Creation Time: 2014-06-30 18:11:31.0
I put order in at very beginning of Batch 1 orders and another 1 about 10 minutes before batch 1 sold out. Both orders delivered today. I think yours maybe an error in their dispatching system. Good luck!  |

OK, I have had 4 units delivered today with a total charge from UK customs of £245 All units delivered undamaged  All units powered up first time All units running at specified hashing speeds All units looking good Will report back on energy usage in a few days - Overclocking tryouts next week also..... Enjoy! Thanks for the update, my 4 are due monday, got my shipping confirmation today. Did the £245 include the £11 fee from UPS? Cheers Yes that is the total charge from UPS including the fee. |

Wow, give them time to ship, they are not late, they are still within their advertised timeframe.
Batch 1 will get sent out soon i'm sure, once they get batch 1 out the door they'll be pumping out like theres no tomorrow!
Why should we give them (more) time...  I already gave them my money...on June 30 ...2 weeks ago...Capisco...? ZiG Because they did make it clear when you ordered about delivery schedule?  |

What a pointless coin?
The only advantage it has is transaction fees over the dollar - Other than that its only disadvantages.
It makes no logical sense to create a coin backed by the very system that encouraged cryptocurrencies introduction to economics.

Yes, we have been mining with one S3 testing sample on our engineer's desk. But we have not been able to do a large mining farm with S3 yet. We have been using S2 machine to deploy a mining farm, and that is how we own the hash rate.
Hope that these words are genuine I was actually hoping they were mining with s3s so that when they do ship the network hash rate doesnt go through the roof instead of just being reallocated this will equal less roi Personally, If these companies insist on testing (or mining) for a prolonged period (not suggesting that is the case here btw) then they should take the customers details to mine on a pool of our choosing. quality testing? check. better propect of ROI? Check. The first manufacturer to offer this will dominate the market - Good idea! |

I should soon have ANTMiner S3.
very profitable.
Not sure I would claim it to very profitable, will barely ROI. Bitcoin investment is possibly a better use of your fiat money. But hey, I still have 8 x s3's on order , so i'll shut up :s |

Basically mining is not going to make any one a fortune these days [...]
It was never supposed to. This whole concept of making big bucks is only an artifact of ASICS and is trending towards zero from the massive gains made by those with Avalon G1's and the lucky few who got Avalon B2's in Bitsyncom's "test" shipment. In 2012 I had an 8GH/s GPU farm which pulled ~5.5kW. This farm made me ~5BTC/day at its peak which was equivalent to $30 a day after power was paid for. We're almost back there (thankfully). Your right, huge profit was never the intention of Bitcoin mining - and rightfully so. But unfortunately many people don't quite get that. Personally I love the concept of Bitcoin and it suits my anarchistic views on how the World should function, so by mining it I am assisting the Blockchain and gaining a little Bitcoin in the process Ive always seen bitcoin as ushering in a world wide financial authority rather than being a form of financial anarchy. You misinterpret my meaning of Financial Anarchy. A decentralized Financial system is technically Financial Anarchy, Anarchy is based on the notion of mutual agreement through societies rather than government bodies running societies. What most people believe to be Anarchy is actually Archism. But this is entirely the wrong thread and forum for a discussion on Anarchy or Archism , so i'll shut up |

The price on these are in BTC, so min order quantity is 2, which comes to $1000 for less then 1TH. These will never break even, especially since you have to buy a $200 power supply too. These "should" be priced at $400 each, but that's just my opinion. You should be able to get PSU's for much cheaper than that. I'm paying about £85($145) for 2 x 500W PSU's at a time. I think as long as people sell there kit on after at least a month and restock at the lower price then resell and so on, a steady amount of income is possible. |

http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/products/sp30-yukon-september-batch-1 @ just over $5000 this really is quite a crap deal when you can get 12 S3's now without the wait for just over $5500. Just under double the power to power the S3's but between now and September the diff increase will soon sort out that benefit that the SP30 has. Plus I would guess by September the price on the S3 will be down as low as 0.5BTC. Bitmain still are by far the best out their for price, even though ROI is highly unlikely for those who don't resell their rigs frequently. (Or if your like me and have a free scheme offering solar panels for free, the supplier just keeps any excess energy produced and sells it back to the grid - No excess energy in this house ) Well you need a lot of psu's to run 12 s'3. Lets say you get 12 for 8.88 btc or 5683.20 usd. you need 5 evga psu's that is about 900 . you are at 6583. your gear does not show until JULY 22.. It hashes at 6th pulling 5000 watts. it earns 3k and then it is sept 24. this is with 20% and 630 usd a coin. but use 17% and 700 a coin it is at 3.8k 15% and 750 a coin = 4.5k so I am thinking while the s-3 is better then the sp30 it will be hard pushed to make money. As I said ROI on the S3 is still unlikely under normal circumstances. But Bitmain seem to be the only ones who get close to the mark. Spondoolies are probably the next best contender, the SP10 for a little while was a good deal and i should make ROI just about. Basically mining is not going to make any one a fortune these days unless you have big money to start with. But its a more fun way to get bitcoin and if done correctly it is slightly more profitable then just buying bitcoin. From my calculations I would say I am about 4.5 BTC better of over the last 6 months from mining then if I had just brought bitcoin flat out. So its still worth it for the little attention I have to apply to it, but even if I was working on a loss I would still be dabbling in mining for the fun of it. |

That whole MegaPIGpower bullshit I am hearing is unsettling. How are they even getting that kind of hashpower with Bitfury chips? ugh...
Their not, speculation and wishful thinking from Mega most likely. It seems unlikely in the near future they will even contribute half the hashing power each month that has been speculated. But we'll soon see I guess :s |

Uk customs and UPS will nail us brothers and sisters.
I can see that bill for UPS before they will deliver.
Damn i hate that as hell.
Bitmain in case of RMA asking to put value 10$ so be nice to us BMAN and do the same....
wow u always pay taxes on UK?? lucky me here we dont Yeah i want to get 8 units but i know they will rape me hard. well, 8 are a lot of units i suppose for customs... they see 8 heavy boxes all for same address... i think its normal But if you just buy 2 im sure they wont charge u. Or buy pairs with 1 day between each other so they dont arrive all together Nope, us British get raped hard for all imports  |

Thanks Bitmain for your reply,
So you are saying that each package will have its own invoice. If that's the case, then orders of 2 x S3s should still be each S3 packaged with its own single value on its customs note.
Edit, sorry, I would have thought that package type, or single packages need individual invoices, therefore separate values from any of the other 100 or so packages coming into customs.
Or are you stating that even if we order 100 separate packages to the single shipping address, all the values of the combined packages add up for import tax purposes?
regardless of packaging, Bitmain will still declare at full value as replied back to me .. my question is, how are they gonna declare it as the s3 are now sold in btc & not in usd value. come on bitmain, i think you can do declare it at a lower value (cost/actual) & not full sales value ! can't recall thread but there were people who sent miners back to you for rma/repair and they were asked to declare it at usd10 !!! why cant bitmain declare it at usd 50 to buyers then ? customs clearance will be a real hassle by then for buyers. increased cost & lesser chance to ROI then how to sell more miners ? i hope many will vote & request bitmain to look into customs declaration. I'm all for lower stated value, in the UK we get heavily taxed at customs and mining alone will never ROI because of the customs charge. But I do understand why they don't, for example if the item is lost or damaged then UPS/DHL will cover cost stated in invoice. Plus I'm not sure on the legal implications of falsely declaring the value on items sent overseas. But your right it sucks. |
