I am not sure if that was directed at me :-)

Yep, I thought you were Greek.
Sorry.

just got two S2s on AZ for $785 each.  Jones Gear has 15 left   
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HL4MEG6/?tag=supplytigerco-20

Should I get two CX500 PSU or 1 larger PSU for the 2 units?  If 1 larger, can you recommend. thx


Why do you think the price dropped so far?

Or you can get them for $155 less, each, by several official sellers, like https://www.112bit.com/product/antminer-s1-dual-blade/.

Sorry, you are right.  I meant to say S1.     Any recommendations for the power supply for 2 of them?

A name brand 1000W 80+ Gold or better PSU with a single +12v rail should handle 2 over clocked S1's with plenty of leeway.   I run 2 ANTS OC'd on an OCZ 1000W and 2 more OC'd on an EVGA 1000W with no problem.  Both PSUs are 80+ Gold with a single +12v rail that puts out 83 amps and my Kill-A-Watt shows they are pulling between 800W-805W at the wall.

[the-skeptic]

1) here is the photo of my monitor screen
2) I run it with Corsair RM850. It's a pretty good PSU, I have another two of them powering two Ants S1 each without problems.

Actually I don't care much just was sort of disappointed when paid heavy customs tax for this unit only to find that it's all dusty and semi-burnt.

Sorry about your ordeal, but I couldn't help but notice the lenses (nice darkroom) above the monitor. Got anything for large format (5x7 to 20x24 is what I'm interested in) in their that you want to sell?

Anyone having trouble with the Bitmain checkout process? I get this error and am not sure what it means..

"Blockchain generate bitcoin payment address error:
Invalid HTTP Response code 500"
Any ideas are appreciated!

Blockchain.info is currently down for maintenance.

Bitmain, is it possible to change the location of your wallet or create a new one? My wallet is not on blockchain.info and I can still receive funds

Bro they are using blockchain API because they can automatically create a new address for each order and therefor track down payments and verify them.
You can check that when you place an order with them.
All they require is 1 confirmation for your payment.

Manually creating a new address is not an option for them when they have so many units to deliver.

I see, thanks for the info

None that I have heard of.
But be patient.

I'm interested in what your policy is on returns for pre-ordered miners?  I placed an order for 500 of the U2+ units at 13.9 BTC and am now considering different hardware (different vendor).

Thanks!

Well if it's anything like how my 3 orders wen't.

You will not get your Bitcoins back even if you email them , email them again , email them again , post in the thread , email them again , post in the thread again , email them again....

You also can't even call them as they don't give you a number to call them at...

I also wanted to go with another ASiC Provider. (Gridseed based ASiCs mainly)

But I got absolutely no reply from any of the multiple emails I sent.

No reply from the questions about it I asked in this thread.

Absolutely no response and no refund.

So sorry to get your hopes up but I highly doubt you'll get anything back either or any response and if you don't feel like paying the full price now that the price has gone down they'll consider that "too bad for you" and "you missed the bus".

If you happen to be in the US, maybe try the north american Bitmain distributors: Ninjatech.org(greaterninja) and 112bit.com(topminingcontracts).  They're both pretty responsive via PM or forum and you don't have to deal with the language barrier.
