Announcement: Bitmain launches AntMiner solution, 0.68 J/GH on chip

The price. Give us the price.

And the power consumption! Both would be great.
(1400w (or less) at 2TH would be great) I'd be happy with anything you can put on a 15 AMP circuit with only a single PSU needed

[smracer]

Is a internal PSU included?  

[dow1135]

Are we still going to see an upgrade for the S2?

[00pmac00]

Is a internal PSU included?  

Based on description you would think so.
"Just Plug and Mine" which would lead one to believe you don't need to buy a PSU for it.

What the Cointerra's Should have been

Antminer S4's here I come.

[jcumins]

I would think the upgrade kits foe the s2 out in 4 to 6 weeks probably about the same amount of time like the s3 KITS

I was thinking the same thing. Just wanted some confirmation it's still coming because I'm trying to figure out to sell them now and buy s4's or wait for the upgrade

Exactly!

S1 have upgrades-but are they worth it?
Selling S2 was probably best done before the announcement.

S2s are heavy.  1 TH/s also isn't very much anymore.  Would be hard to sell for anything significant IMHO.

I bet the upgrade for the s2 will be well worth it thats for sure.

[nreal]

There should be an option with miner order to have one AntMiner Jumper Switch with ant... Or even put one in package for free...

Over what time period?

Lifetime.  Actually about .3 btc

at 15% difficulty rise every adjustment period and .16 cents electricity kw/hr

Yes they are a huge loss as they came out at the wrong time just before the s3, I feel sorry for people asking for $1000 on ebay

[Rabinovitch]

Why? They'll take their profit selling S4s (otherwise who will buy it if you can simply and inexpensively upgrade your S2 to 1.8-2 Th as BITMAIN promised?), and then, when they'll sell out S4s, probably they will sell S2 upgrade kits. I think so.

That # doesn't quite seem right to me.  I'm seeing 0.54 BTC over 31 days at current difficulty.

There only 9 days left in the current difficulty and then we're looking at a +15% difficulty increase. Samsonn25 is using 16 cents per kilowatt in his calculation and the alloscomp calculator you appear to be using doesn't calculate electricity cost.

So there's that.

I suspect its going to be 25-30% increase  in a week. Time Between Blocks 7.38 (minutes)

Yes, it's insane, at one point network hash rate was over 260 PH/s, with it being 250.5 PH/s right now. That's going to be one unpleasant difficulty jump. TO THE MOON!
