Looks like the U2 is coming out which should be followed by the S2.  I'll keep an eye out on pricing.

Right now ants are between $799 and $899 priced in USD or 1.34BTC changing daily.

HOSTED ANTMINER
devices are AT COST BTC with no markup
Setup is a one time $25
Hosting is $110 per month under or overclocked
10% discount if you pay for 90 days up front

USD prices at coinbase last (bitstamp + 1%) at time of payment
We have no hardware on order for this so you will join the queue when you order from us.
(Personally I would not take this deal )

BitMain has to offer a discount or announce a new product soon.  
I'd like to see what is going to happen before March 1.

From User CooldGamer

tl;dr of how his hosting service works:
1 BTC upfront for 30 days
.6 to keep it up for another 30
.4 for last 30 and keeping the rig to host/sell

1BTC paid upfront gets the ANT miner shipped plus 30 days of hosting.
*If you make over 1BTC in the first 30 days of mining you may simply cancel the contract and keep your earnings.  You owe nothing.  

Prior to the 31st day of mining: 0.6BTC is due to continue the contract for days 30-60
*Again if you have profited or some crazy company comes along and jumps the diff by a few hundred percent you can just cancel and keep your earnings.
*We eat the loss and deal with the device. (Office space style)

Prior to the 61st day of mining: 0.4BTC is due to continue the contract for days 60-90 and be eligible for an upgrade credit or refund from the device sale.
*After this you own the ANT miner.  You can sell it to a US buyer or let us sell it or lease out the hashpower.

The total cost for the device + hosting is estimated to be 1.5BTC After reselling the device for .5BTC in 90 days.

I'll take tips/donations if it seems to favor the buyer 

The numbers looked pretty fair as far as risk reward spreading between buyer and seller.

interested, Any idea when they will arrive, Don't want to enter an agreement if they are still a few weeks away.

Also

10% of 2 BTC (1.0+0.6+0.4) is a 0.2 discount is it not? Making 1.8 BTC with a 10% discount.

Miaviator, is a wordsmith not a maths major so i have worked out

But the 10% he was basing off 1 BTC not the 2BTC at the end ... too many numbers i guess. 

So it is a .1 in savings.

2*.10 != .1 

I fixed the op it's a 5% discount.

Was Sleepy time....

I would love to give out a guaranteed start date for hashing.  I'd also like my 73BTC guaranteed to ROI in 30 days or we give you more ASIC.   Unfortunately I cannot do so.   I can run the hardware for buyers the same way I run my own hardware which hasn't lost money yet.

The buyer will accept the risk of shipping delays which are not common for bitmain.

We will accept the risk of a crazy 50% diff jump and if you look at the terms we are taking some of the risk on hardware failures.  Our take is fairly meager compared to what you pay anyone else to host hardware and we made the upfront costs as low as possible.

[railzand]

I'm so nearly there to buy one of the 1.9 deals, especially as you were kind enough to give me a free upgrade on a previous deal.

Tell us, these ants are from BITMAIN's 8 Feb shipping, no?

And please make me a gut-wrenchingly low once in a lifetime offer for that plus your disquietenly overpriced in hand but secondhand one.

Lol.  I'm not a car dealer.  I go with the with the lowest price up-front and take the deals myself if no one else want's them.

[railzand]

sorry to insult you. had to try and haggle.
8 feb shipping?

[miaviator]

8 feb shipping?

I don't think bitmain is really shipping today.

Right now only 2 are shipping in the first batch.  The idea was to order the ANT's as people pay us.  It gets you the same spot in line as buying the ANT today (maybe a bit ahead as we have some of our own orders in)  I believe even buying today estimated shipping is Feb 8 - Feb 12 with 3-8 days to delivery.

I'll buy 1 please full 90 day BTC1.9
