Bitmain Announces the Antminer R4 and APW5 Power Supply, Designed for Silence

I didn't want to play games with the order stock, so I paid and then put a note in with my order showing the current exchange rate and an address they can refund for the overpayment.  Not that they will, but at least I tried to get my $55 back.

not paying extra in principle. the fact that others do helps them to continue doing this, but i understand the desire very much.

Have 3.04 BC in my wallet, wanted to order 2, but since the rate is off, I only have enough to order 1, which I just ordered.

I appreciate that stance and applaud you for it.  I needed this hashrate for a project or I would be right with you.

Agreed, that's why I just did a wire transfer with my bank instead.

Crap, I wanted to buy some.
They're selling like hotcakes, huh.
Last miner that was selling this fast was the S3... and those things are generating my heat this winter.
I checked last night, sold out; this morning, sold out again but they sold some?
I not witnessed hot sales like this ever since.
They got a winner with this I think, hopefully they build more; would love a pair.

[takagari]

I' like thtem to release the batch numbers, curious on how many they sell.
I.e. Batch one 10,000, batch 2, 4000

Be cool to see numbers...

Seems as if orders fall thru they sell them. I sent payment immediately but have not confirmed with Bitmain. How long does it take? I see the transaction on the blockchain and they moved the funds to a different account.

I sent payment immediately and over an hour later it still hasn't gone through and the order on my account shows expired because they haven't received it yet.  I believe this is common though?

Same here but if you go their wallet mentioned above you can probably see your payment like I see mine and tons of unconfirmed transactions following.

Alright I am more relaxed now that others seeing the same as me. Why don't they change the status to processing? Would make people less jumpy.

I believe right question should be: Why they started sale at 11pm Friday night?

Thanks for reaching out to Bitmain!
Our working hours are 9am-6pm Beijing time (GMT+8) from Monday to Friday.
We are working hard to respond quickly to every query.

Just realized B2 is only 8TH/s vs. B1 8.6TH/s.  Guess that's why there's the over $300 drop and it's not due to a price adjustment since release?  Since they have the same power rating of 845W + 9%, that means these are less efficient than B1.

The numbers don't have much meaning, until you test batch 1 against batch 2.

And 1336 / 1000. Compared to 8.6/8.0   Means a price drop.

Of course I paid more like 1040 due to exchange rate theft on their part.

I don't buy much ASIC gear from Avalon or bit-main.  I spend more on gpus and mine alt coins.

Basically the gpu pc gear has real warranties from real companies.

Since I got back into gpu mining I have had more then 10k worth of gear with 5 successful rmas.
Much easier to make a few bucks. Fast shipping just better.

more like $1122 (1.457 btc) before shipping or $1218 shipped (1.582 btc), but who is counting...
bottom line..meh deal.

Well I will jump back to 45th.

Follow up my order is now marked expired due to a 228 minute wait for a confirm.
Hopefully they will fix this soon.

Anyone else this has happened to just make sure you email them.

Yeah I sent them e-mail immediately after I noticed that is was about 50 minutes without confirmation.
It took a total of 486 minutes a.k.a. about 8 hours (!) for my payment to get confirmed.
I did make the payment two minutes after making the order, so I hope Bitmain will keep my order valid after all.
I got the "BITMAIN order paid" e-mail but the order is still as "paid, unshipped, expired" in "my orders".

Same here although I paid like half hour after order. I guess wa all have to wait till Monday (Beijing time = Sunday eve) to have any response.

[philipma1957]

My orders page now reads paid unshipped
