ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread

[faetos]

I ordered an S1 and got the expired order issue. Sent them e-mail about it, so just wait till they get it sorted. Those S2s at 4U are huge! Congrats on the folks that got one.

4U case is not huge, its about the size of most desktops.

A 4U rack mount case is 7" tall.  The width is either 19" or 23", depending on the rack.

The case shown at the bitmain website is not a 4U case.

Hello Bitmain,

Wow!  This is totally awesome!

The timing is also perfect, as I almost purchased a 1 TH/s JTMINER for $4500!

Can I use all my discount coupons on the new S2 product or is it only for the S1?

I guess I'll have to choose the sloppy seconds with the Batch 2. Fine by me!

Thanks!

Hey, Bob.

I saw that on your FB page.

I like the shirts! Very cool indeed.  I want one, too!

AntMiner S2 1TH/s Miner (1w/GH/s) Batch 2 1000 GH/s x 1    3599 USD ( 5.707 BTC )


stomach groans.... yay or nay (again)

I am totally with ya!  To buy or not to buy?  If nothing else, it is nice to have another chance at a difficult decision today!

[SockMunkee]

Hmmmm..

Like everyone else, I'm hoping Bitmain comes up with the more info on the 1K watt PSU versus the 1k watt draw from the wall.  Some OC info would be nice.  I am curious about this..

A final picture of the S2 on the site would be nice - with dimensions.  I don't really care if it's a shiny looking tin foil box or if its butt 'fuglee' looking...as long as it does its job and works as advertised!

Hopefully, this is a very 'short' pre-order situation.

Also, I wouldn't complain about the price too much.  Heck, I too, wish it was lower.

However, in comparison, it could be worst like this offering:

Can anyone here help me with order

Order ID: 00120140314225434567QipQ6Rr2069D

It was paid in full immediately, and had 4 confirmations within 30mins. Despite that the order has expired as unpaid.

Well, I've always gotten a prompt reply when I PM Bitmain here in the forums.  He's always been very good.

I agree with the other posters, definitely try their email addresses as well:

info@bitmaintech.com
webmaster@bitmaintech.com

Good luck!

Not to beat a dead horse or be confrontational, but what is so revolutionary about the S2 technology wise?  The enermax powersupplies?  The ugly silver case?  Please point out where they're pushing the edge.  The Lightning, Dragon, JT, etc are in the same space (1TH/s), are pricey at over $4k-5k each, but at least they're using 28nm A1s(stolen or not).

I'm just trying to see to value proposition with regards to the (same old)tech they're using.

28nm vs 55nm means nothing. All that matters is "up-front cost", "date of delivery", and "power draw". S2 wins against every other product on the market.

[bclcjunkie]

he's just worried about his AM shares... i see a lot of anxious bagholders on asicminer's "horizon" thread... 

Kinda disappointed,not the "breakthrough" miner I had hoped....oh well,gotta wait for ASICminer's new chip I guess 

Everyone always have nice things to say about asicminer but I can't find their thread, could you link me to it?

Asicminer hardware is almost always overpriced so much that a miner can never make ROI unless you resell the hardware and rip someone else off, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for amazing things from asicminer...

[alexrossi]

I think that bitmain should make an "S1.2" with 200gh/200watt

[faetos]

bitmain rocks! They fixed my order from unpaid/expired to paid. I'm really impressed with them.

[pvnamk19]

S2 case is not like "Ant style" at all!
Wait for S3 but I don't know how to properly throw 6 coupons away.

A good idea!
6 AntMiner S1 Coupon 0.055 BTC

I checked and we can change all information on the account and sell it but we have to trust each other.
BTW, I may help some of my friends to go into Bitcoin world but I am afraid just in case Bitcoin get worse...

Wauw I really hoped for a antminer s1 design. This thing looks like my mother in law, and that is not a good thing

i call mine ' the monster in law ' and this is uglier than she is.

[arorts]

Confirmed. S2 = Definitely overpriced. 5 BTC is the real value consensus.
