[Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s

[AndersAA]

Hmm... So my last order as of 2014-02-04 23:40:56.0 (oID: 00120140204234055953Hg77CWxF0667) is too "Long time ago" for a coupon :/

Let's hope "When S2 comes, we will be issuing coupons again" doesn't mean - "It's so far in the future that we will likely have to issue coupons again"...

With my insane electricity costs there's no way 1.18BTC will be profitable for a 190-200Gh @ 400w

Argh.. First-world-problems... Great pricing, desire to buy more, no more circuits available in home... Time to start looking into local data-center hosting solutions for my mining operations :|
Keep on keeping on Bitmain ! Love you guys !

It's time to call an electrician to add another dedicated panel for mining.
Do you have 120v outlets? If so, another option is to swap 120v outlets out for 240v outlets and double the amount of wattage you can run using the same amount of amps...  

 All 120v outlets. Have several TH of miners already. Got a quote to re-do the wiring for 240v and it was cost-prohibitive, not to mention they'd have to tear up the walls in my house to run new circuits.

 Already dealing with enough wife-agro from having miners all over the place :|

I heard that. Wife needs to go to the other room and chill-out. It's making virtual money she can spend at the virtual store.

What is the S2?  or is this just miner fantasy?

What is a profitable electric rate for you?

Maybe I can host a few for pennies on the Kw/h?

How much are you thinking per S1 per month?

[wpgdeez]

Any word on when today's orders will be shipping?

if past performance is any indication...  very soon

I'm interested too.

The antminer buy we did was around ( $100-$125USD ) ( .2BTC per mo or .45BTC @ 90 days)

I can host 2-3 in a 4U space so paying up front I have to start at .75BTC for 90 days.  That's for two overclocked or *I think three not overclocked.  PM me. or hit the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=454635.0  I won't be held to that rate as I haven't done all the math.  Just an estimate.

BITMAIN, are you working on a next generation Antminer with lower power usage per GH? I suspect a lot of your repeat customers are close to maxed out on power usage, so a product that uses under 1W/GH would be ideal.

I would love to buy more Ants, but I'm having trouble dealing with the amount of heat that is being generated by the existing ones that I already have.

From past history and knowing the sort of market there is here they aren't going to say anything until they have something in stock. It would decimate their existing sales if they announced a next gen miner.

Will these coupons be able to be used for any new products that come out such as the S2?

When S2 comes, we will be issuing coupons again 

dam bitmain, now mine and everyone else's panties are in a bunch waiting for this new S2!!!

I hope that the delta between S1 <> S2 is hell of alot bigger than that of the U1 <> U2

[s1lverbox]

First time i dont know what to do. As s1 are very cheap but than what ever is next will be huge!
Probably we looking at something double the speed of s1.

I might be wrong but once all s1 are sold they will make room for new miners.

Cant wait.

I see Bitmain has now opened preorder for the Antminer U2+ And the S1 is now listed as "Up Coming" and can no longer be ordered... I hardly see any spec. difference for the U2+ though.

I wonder if this means we'll see an S2(+?) launch this week.

Looks like the U2+ is still running on the same chip as the U1 but it has a bigger heat sink and is clocked at a higher rate it also appears to have the same power efficiency characteristics as the U1.

Does anyone know if Bitmain is developing a second generation chip or has said anything about that?

Well, if he is designing a new chip... he did NOT use these coins to do it   https://blockchain.info/address/1QB8Ds5KbGYBLQa5RyDQ2sVUeSKWf7qgkZ?show_adv=true

What happens to my order while blockchain.info is jacked up?

Unless no one has found a block in 2hours and 7 minutes and my high priority transaction has really been sitting still that long...

Just re-order if cancelled and be happy the diff is not climbing as fast as the doom and gloom crowd told you it would.

Definitely stuck - check another block explorer or see this thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498723.0

My order on bitmaintech still shows as paying although the 1 hour window has expired so they may be giving some leeway if aware of the issue.

Blockchain.info is messed up. we are on block 288786 already.

that's not the issue.  blockchain.info isn't showing the latest blocks, i.e., BTCGuild's last block found is 13 blocks above what blockchain.info is showing.  the real issue is that the transactions aren't being picked up.  I included a transaction fee on mine (enough for medium priority) and it showed an estimated 6 blocks until confirmation and that was 15+ blocks and 2.5+ hours ago and still not 1 confirmation.  BITMAIN hasn't cancelled my order (still shows paying/valid) but i'm starting to get worried.
