Any chance for bigger font and more red???

But whats the problem then? Bitmain didnt block more than x miners per user. If someone was lucky to get hands on all miners in one go i say good job. Just because u wasnt that person that mean u have to cry and accused for not being supportive?
How would you comment all this if this one person who bough all miners was you?

I have to agree, I noticed several people complaining about not being able to by had multiple units in their cart, sure ir ead one person complain he did not get to buy the 6 miners in his cart..... pot kettle black.

[freebit13]

You do realise that this goes against Bitmain's company statement that they will support the bitcoin community? With today's mining consolidation problem, selling 24 units to 1 person is not supporting the community. I hope Bitamin will realise this and sort out their ordering process next time to make it more fair to the whole community and not just a select few.

I was not whining, crying or complaining about it, I wasn't even trying to buy 1, never mind 6. I was just stating that with the way this previous sale went, it was not exactly supporting the community, c'mon 24 units for 1 person is a little much with only 30 for sale. I'm pretty sure Bitmain overlooked this possible problem and they will fix it in the next buy (we'll have to wait and see), I was just highlighting that point. I'm not bemoaning the guy who got 24 units, well done to him for trying, he obviously had the coins and internet speed, it's just up to Bitmain to prevent this in order to hold up their reputation... that's if they want to support the community; if they just want to sell units to the highest bidder then that's fine too, it's their company and their decision... just trying to bring a little sanity to the outrage on this thread.

As i really do understand what you saying i have to defend bitmain move. 30 units must be sold- if this is one person or 30 people is still 30x1,45btc so for bitmain there is no difference.

Limited stock is something which usually make issues for sellers. Demand is big and all know that. BITMAIN is first company who actually delivering stock not promises. I bet they working hard to open sale for more s1 soon.

I understand if that is your view, but in my view, for any company that has a public face and has stated that they want to help the community and decentralize the network, there is a very big difference...
What do think is better, selling 30 units to one person who will never come back as they have all they need, probably souring a lot of potential buyers that will not return or selling 30 units to 30 different people who will probably come back for more? Bitamin is a big company with big future plans, not someone selling stuff on fleabay... and I'm sure they'll wise up to that fact sooner rather than later

It isn't Bitmain's job to mandate a socialist distribution pattern.  1 for you, and 1 for you, and 1 for you.

Don't get me wrong.  Bitmain could make a rationing of five (5) Antminers to any one individual if they so desired.

Just because they COULD doesn't mean they will. 

I received my one (1) S1 Antminer and instantly wished I had purchased more.  But that's life.   I was one of the first people in the que to place my order before Chinese New Year.  Just received it two days ago... but that's another story.

Get what you get and don't get upset.  Helping the community isn't defined as helping YOU.  Anyone who receives an Antminer and starts mining is part of the community, eh?

It's not socialist distribution, it's called decentralization which is one of the cores of the Bitcoin network, so there's no need to attach negative labels to it in order to try turn the argument around.

Again you're making the assumption that I was trying to buy one in this round, let me reiterate if you don't want to fully read my posts: I was not trying to buy a unit in this round. I already have my units, long before CNY and received them all very professionally without delays and with no problems purchasing, so I'm not upset with Bitmain at all. Anyway my statement wasn't that Bitmain should help me, the idea of "rationing" (as you put it) itself is that it would help everyone equally and not just me... am I speaking English?

Anyone who receives an Antminer and starts mining is part of the community, eh?

Yes, purely by the definition of the word community... look it up!

Edit: Wait I'll make that easier: Community: [MASS NOUN] the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common

I dont know how many miners u purchased in past but obviously not many as you getting upset because someone was faster than you.
I made few purchases from sushi and bitmain. All together its 10 miners. Is that mean im bad person because i want all 10 now not withing 1 month?
As you can see i did purchase few in one go and i did comeback for more.

What i can see and what i can read is J.account , newbies account crying over something which is purely and simple life.
I dont see hero members, full members etc to comment like you. Reason for that is simple: they fully understanding how this works. Instead wasting time for all this focus on something more constructive and maybe look for resselers in your area. There is shit loads of miners in the market.

Good luck

Oh wow, you really don't read do you? I didn't want to buy a miner, I already have. I am not upset, where did I say that... stop reading into things. I started out with merely stating that a company that states that they want to support the community and decentralize the network, aren't really doing that by selling 24/30 units to one person. It's got nothing to do with how many units you have and I have nothing against you for having 10, that was never the discussion or the point.

Oh yeah, if you'd purchased all 10 miners in one go, would you have returned? Dude, think a little and try to use examples that fit the argument.

Oh wow, crying... really? Jeez you are really low and your age shows in your posts... you just had to bring out the Jr account vs. Sr vs. Hero Member thing? Really? Maybe you should try and hone your "supersleuth skillz" and you'll notice that my account is older than your's, what could that mean? Do I know more than you? Perhaps, perhaps not. Maybe, I read more and don't post as much one line bullshit as you do. Ooooh look I got more hashes than you do.... oh c'mon!

Stop trying to act all macho and call everyone cry babies, it really looks silly.

P.S. try using spell check once in a while.... it even underlines the things that are wrong...

Patience is a virtue....

The Ants are only temporarily out of stock.
I too am bumped by the fact but I am willing to wait and hopefully get more Ants at a lower price.

I am out, no chance I am ordering an Ant at that price.
I had the chance to do so before and didn't do it, so I am definitely not going to do ti now.
1.45BTC is a relatively good price for a Ant but not exactly worth it at this point.

PS: It's a shame because I have a 0.2BTC coupon  

[Aexcu]

It would seem that BITMAIN is coming out with a new product. Hopefully it is something else than just an extended blade.

They still need to update the sold out, perhaps they will drop the price. Don't see them selling too many if they don't. Ill be refreshing and If end up getting the 6 more that I want I will be calling an electrician for a panel upgrade on Monday

Might be worth getting 1 since you have a .2 coupon. 1.25 isn't too bad

Website is already lagging out like crap, I don't see why keep putting up daily batches rather than just all at once as would save a lot if time at both ends and now we have to wait till the 28th to get posted.....
