I think this as close to being as bad as it can be.

The new 28nm hardware with the A1 chip is running at half the power consumption of the ant. But you can get the ant now for less so personally I will run them for a bit until the A1 stuff comes down in price. Piece out the old farm and build the new.

They are also good for giving out discount coupons to existing customers, I got 5 ants for 4.72 BTC today

I used 5 today. 4.72 BTC for 5 ants, cant complain 

I'm on week 2 waiting. Did they give you a confirmation or any timeline?

Flush your DNS cache then try again. ipconfig /flushdns

If you go to that domain you get the following message "119.9.72.212 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.bitmaintech.com , bitmaintech.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)"

I placed my order on the regular site and didn't get any certificate errors, hope that means my order is good and not jacked!!!

I told myself I would not buy any more miners ... then Bitmain drops the price and puts a bunch of coupons in my account. Now I have another thash coming and not enough electricity to run it

X2 5 ants cost 5.5 BTC right now for the same hash rate. I would pay up to 6 for the extra efficiency but couldn't justify more for the short life of the returns.

Just some food for thought ... if the price goes up the unit remains profitable. Sometimes it is worth it to mine at a loss and hold, if lady luck is on your side you will end up ahead. Mining is a nice anonymous way to obtain BTC. My electricity cost is how I pay for my investment rather than cash to an exchange to buy BTC from my bank.

Sweet. I'm going to grab myself some Cougars

I want one of these but don't have enough BTC left, spent it all on Ants!

Stupid question but your new fans are setup to exhaust (pull the air out) that the stock fans are pushing through the heat sinks?

Got tracking today for my Monday order, supposed to arrive on Friday.

I fail to see how this is Bitmains fault? If it was delivered someone would have had to sign and pay for it, this is UPS's problem.

Use WinSCP, it has a nice GUI, no archaic text editor :p

How much did your temps drop?

Thank god we don't have anything like VAT in Canada! You guys get raped hard!

What pool are you in because I am averaging .15 on the Guild.

Your rates are WAY to high, it costs under $1 a day to run an antminer.
