I have several S2 $400 coupons and several 0.05 S1 coupons, and I doubt I will use any of them.
I will order miners for people using my coupons if you pay me in advance. No charge for the coupons but tips welcome.

2 new S1s arrived today ordered April 25. Looking brand new, dust free and hashing fine. Setup a breeze as usual. One issue but a non-issue for me. One of my S1's has only 1 bank temp reading. Knowing that one reading usually reflects the other +- 1 C I don't think it hardly worth an RMA.

My first one I opened looked very new. I have to check the second later today. Of all that I have ordered and had delivered I think 10 the first one today was the only one that was clearly new. |

That just happened on one of mine today, ordered it about a week ago. All of a sudden I was looking at CG Remote and it said that the S1 went to 138 C, so I quickly rebooted it and one of the temps is gone, just reads zero and the other reads 28 c. All my others show 48 to 50 C. Must be bad sensors, not worth the RMA as it is hashing away just fine. Both my new ones I got in today look fine, no dust. I have 5 more on order, so in a week I will be part of the 3 TH club. Thanks for the deal on these last ones Bitmain, you guys rock! Got a great deal from my electrician today. He came out ran 6 new, 20 amp lines, light switch and a light for the attic in the garage. Did it all for $1100 and then he asked me if I could bang out a website for him for $500, deal done. It only cost me $600 and a little of my time to get the electrical upgrades done. Dang this is fun.  Rob  |

And I just set up the second one both at freq 393.75. both hash close to 200gh with very little hw errors. I put very powerful delta fans and now run these in push pull. very good temps and lower errors. easy mod worth the 10 bucks. got the fans on ebay used. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151276722479?ru=I used 4 pipe cleaners and 4 nylon nuts to attach the fan. these are really loud but since I have everyone over clocked and in the garage it is okay. |

Same offer here. 20 coupons available. Would love to order some miners myself but just can't see how they will eventually have positive ROI. |

Hi, I'm interested in buying some S1 miners, but I have some questions, maybe someone here can help me out. - I'm from Germany, so how is power connection handled? Can I plug the S1 directly to a european ~230 V electricity or do I have to buy an adapter or anything?
- The coupons, how is that handled? Where can I get them or are they a giveaway after placing an order?
- Do I have to pay an additional 20% VAT when miner arrives?
Thanks for any information, if that is already posted in this thread, but I'm short on time, so sry again.... |

(You have to connect them to a PSU, so if bought in Europe it's 220V capable) coupons are recieved after buying a miner, valid for a following purchase (but you Will find lost of people who Will order for you with their unisex coupons at the moment, be sure to ask someone u feel you can trust...) Yes, you have to pay import duty's and taxi's, don't know about Germany, Here in Belgium it's €63. |

I have to S2 coupons I'm not going to use, so if somebody in Benelux is interested I could order for you, free of charge. (Payment up front, meeting in person is possible so you can verify I'm not some skammer)

Mine also just arrived. it's loook clean like brand new not used previously. Hi, I'm interested in buying some S1 miners, but I have some questions, maybe someone here can help me out. - I'm from Germany, so how is power connection handled? Can I plug the S1 directly to a european ~230 V electricity or do I have to buy an adapter or anything?
No you can not plug S1 directly to 220V. You need 12 Volt DC power supply that can deliver minimum 32 Amp. Computer power supply commonly used.- The coupons, how is that handled? Where can I get them or are they a giveaway after placing an order?
- Do I have to pay an additional 20% VAT when miner arrives?
Thanks for any information, if that is already posted in this thread, but I'm short on time, so sry again.... |

you are correct but it is not quite 24 hours. Since the drop to .55btc. Come back in about 2 or 3 hours. |

Since those will be shipped only on May 4 I doubt they will drop the price until the new batch. Also does anyone have a solution for underclock beside the graphite pen trick? 140Gh for 180W is quite decent compared to S2. |

The next batch of S1s at .55 BTC are not shipping until May 4th, so I doubt the price will change between now and then. Otherwise early buyers would pay more even though everything will ship on the same day. |

Also does anyone have a solution for underclock beside the graphite pen trick? 140Gh for 180W is quite decent compared to S2. thats the only real way without soldering new resistors. you can underclock it at stock voltage, but it will either get lots of errors below a certain speed (lets say below 160GH?) OR it will just use way too much wattage unless you bring down the operating voltage via the pencil mod (ie: you might get 140GH/220W if you dont undervolt) |

1) novelty: its less than $10/usb, or a reasonable ~$4/GH. if someone wants to learn about bitcoin mining this is a nifty cheap way to do it. (of course, thats if buying from a reseller since the 500 MOQ is a bit much) 2) test-bench: I currently have my antminer S2 running at a frequency of 215.625, which I figured out myself correlates to '6206'. However, rather than test a potentially wrong asic-freq on the S2, I implement it on the U1 and let it run for 10min to see that the hashrates and temps are where I expect them, THEN i make the changes to the S2 |
