[mmitech]

I am really curious about their next product, I sold all my GPUs and beside the 3 jalapenos I had and sold after a week I did quit mining, I am going to wait and see what they bring next, I might start mining again after all

for new in antiminer S1.
if you need PSU, don't look Watt only.
please check Ampere in 12V.
Minimum requirement Ampere in 12 V is 30 A

This is a good point.  I recommend Corsair power supplies - at least 750 watt models or higher.  The CX750M is a modular design so you'll have less cable clutter and it supplies 46 Amps on the +12V rail.  Whichever power supply you're using, look at the +12V DC Output amperage and ensure that it's greater than 30 Amps.

Guys, please answer my questions above. Do you think it's worth it if ROI is 5 months? It's 3 months without VAT and PSU, but 5 with them.

I don't like a 5-month ROI. But I think your 30% adjustment estimate is too high. We haven't had a 30% yet this year. Rerun your estimate with 20% adjustments.

I calculated a 50 day ROI for me. Since we have no VAT and our electricity is pretty low. For me it is less than 10 cents a KW. I think I am at .095 / kwh.

Can I come and live with you?

Seriously, where do you live? (if you don't mind me asking)

Texas. Energy here is de-regulated to the point where we get to choose our electricity provider. I as just looking at http://www.powertochoose.org/en-us/Plan/Results and I can get a 6 month FIXED rate contract for 8.4¢ per kWh.... not too bad!

I love Texas! Lucky you!

So, I still waiting for my ants, I ordered them 05 march and still doesn't have any information about sipping

Just wait or PM bitmain. I was wondering if mine were shipped since never got an email confirmation (ordered 3) and lo and behold I wake up today to see they are on their way, delivering on Friday.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

After some serious thinking I decided not to buy the S1. I'd pay 1.40BTC(this is roughly for VAT,PSU,any other fees) to get back 1.40 after 5 months.

Even something like this will work but I like the CX750 better

Did you factor in the PSU that you will purchase? Also I strongly suggest looking at whether you will ROI your Bitcoins, not the $.

personally i think have to eat the psu costs since the psu can be used in other applications such as future miners or in a new pc .. i have an entire fleet of corsairs now .. and one those corsairs ended up in a new uber pc i just finished building for my son even though the psu was originally bought for mining . i have enough psu power now to host two more antminers if i wanted without buying more psu's. do i still include the price of a psu in in my calculations when i buy two more S1 or S2 ants ?? rm1000's are only $200.00 and can host two oced ants .. i like the idea of buying my own psu's.

that is an 80+ bronze. is not a good recomendation for psu because of it's effiency of 80% .. can do better and buy 92% effiecient psu's like rm1000 can host two oced ants.. i saw someone post an 80+ bronnze psu was pulling 400 watts per non oced ant . should choose 92% efficient psu to mine with imo . choice of psu is most important for longterm mining considerations.

Hello brother. Unless your electricity is very expensive I think you will make that 1.4 BTC with your Antminer in about 3 months max. I use about $16 a month running 1 Antminer overclocked at $.10  KWH.
Now the real issue as after that 3 month mark how much profit will you make with the Antminer until it does not make enough to pay for it's own electricity. AT that point it is worthless. This is true with any gear. Right now Antminers are a better deal than anything out there and I want as many as I can get my hands on. Bitmain rocks.

My electricity is a bit more expensive, $0.14-0.15 per kW. And in the future I might have moved to a location where it's even higher.

I ordered the prior Monday, received shipping notification on Friday.

Alot of people will buy the Antminers and run them for a while, say until the S2 comes out, then sell them at low prices to liquidate them quickly. You can indeed make good money that way

I spoke too soon, scheduled for Friday delivery. Knowing the way UPS works in Winnipeg hopefully I will get it by Tuesday.

My Sunday order will be delivered to me tomorrow, my Monday order will be delivered to me on Friday.
Both confirmed by UPS as they called me to tell me to have the customs fees ready.
