Why is the S4 $400.00 more than bitmaintech.com website?
it is the US your ordering from over sea you pay for shipping so I'm guessing it all even out don't know , i don't buy much from over seas. don't want a s2 or S4 waiting mostly for the L1 and C1 to see how they fan out  . It doesn't cost $400.00 for shipping from China for the S4 from bitmaintech.com It cost $42.47 for shipping. Total: $1292.47  I don't know why . I just linked it for some one who wanted a S3 fast on this forum. as much as i hate to I'm temped to but two more S3 from china off the china site in about a month i want to replace the rest of my S1 i have two left to replace then im gonna set tight and wait for n the L1 and C1 to see just how they do.

While Slush doesn't visit this thread any more, a lot of people who mine on this pool do. Please stop turning this thread into your private mining blog - while some people enjoy what you have to say, many others do not and it has strayed too far off topic. Start another thread.

Your right. I just wanted to point out to other Slusher's they can get their rigs cheaper than another place that was recommended in this forum. Only trying to look out for my fellow Slusher's

Total: $1292.47 Make sure to choose "direct shipping" instead of "hosting at Umisoo" Indeed you have to select "direct shipping" but also choose the UPS option afterwards (depending on your region other options will be available) Only after this final step the site will calculate your exact shipping fee based on the total weight. I also made mistake on one of my orders and left the low shipping fee. Basically it seems this also causes your order to become "Umisoo hosted". Prior to shipping however Bitmain contacted me to double check. Good they did since I'm hosting my own little farm..

These miners become obsolete faster than any other technology I have seen. My miners were soo good 4 months ago and now they are barely able to keep up with electricity costs! Time to upgrade. Got enough BTC mined to purchase a new miner, gotta find the best price.  What is your reward per block, fellow miners? Mine is embarrassing so you go first

Wouldn't it be more profitable to buy BTC outright, than to buy new equipment? Unless/until BTC is worth many decimal points, earning fractions won't cover your electrical cost very well over the coming months, regardless of the upgrade.

@TradersWay.JC Time to sell the old and buy the new.
@vesperwillow By asking that question we know you are not current on Bitcoin mining(there are very efficient miners out now), but buying BTC at current low prices is a good idea.

I switched from: http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 (main pool URL) To: stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 (If you have Stratum-compatible miner)I was having the same issues Works fine now.

I believe I was on topic. The current discussion was the newest Antminers and their prices. I saw screenshots relating to the price of an Antminer from one source and saw that a fellow community member mentioned that a better deal exists as another member had posted one. Further, I was wondering what the other miners at Slush's pool are getting per block. I believe that this is indeed a Slush-specific question as well because the hash rate varies from pool to pool.

Only trying to look out for my fellow Slusher's NOTICE: See how my user name: implies he was talking to me? Someone else was trying to point out a US website for bitmain. I pointed out they can get them cheaper at bitmaintech. THEN I'm the one who gets reamed for it. LOL EXACTLY!!! I was talking to someone about miners as well but I was given this message by the moderator. Probably 70% of the stuff discussed on here has nothing to do with Slush's pool. So, WHY I was gotten on to beats the hell out of me? Unless, there was someone who doesn't like me who decided to PM the moderator or something. I just want them the hell of my back. Like I said, at least 70% of the stuff on here has nothing to do with Slush's pool. Yet, someone gets onto me. I was talking about miners and their prices as well, but a moderator gets onto me.

I believe that this is indeed a Slush-specific question as well because the hash rate varies from pool to pool. ^^^ Would not worry too much about that, just that some idiot had turned the thread into something akin to, and I quote, "a personal blog". It was more like a show and tell in a thread that is referenced by others as a repository for information about slush's pool (as the title suggests) and any other obiter-dicta relating there-to. EDIT: - In any case, good pool luck yesterday and long could it continue today too .... a couple of 1 hr blocks to follow the one we are on would certainly do that. Also, what you get on slush depends on your hash power AND how long you've been hashing ...

I actually like the closet project. Those miners are mining at slushs pool. It's a lot better than newbies constantly accusing slush of cheating or not keeping the pool up. As long as we keep this a NO FUD ZONE and about Slush's Pool and our mining, it's all good.
