ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread

[freebit13]

Batch 1 people got their miners before the communication saying it had shipped, and before the website was updated. Hmm.. hang on there is something familiar about that, oh yes, just like 99% of all S1's that were shipped.

Batch 2 was much larger, they are always focused on getting them out the door first before anything else. So I bet B2-S2's arrive at peoples doorsteps before any updates are seen here or in your account status.

Or maybe they just fucked off to Barbados with all the cash.

Really? That's simply not true...

As it is still needs one and a half hour to enjoy the April 1st, this message is real:

we are packaging the Batch 1 of S2 and will be shipping them out tomorrow.

Look at the date, batch 1 was due to be shipped before April 1st...

[xstr8guy]

Anybody get myUPS notice for batch 2? Their web site still says shipping "before April 10."

Exactly!

i dont know why some people seem to assume BEFORE somehow translates to ON, AFTER or AROUND....

Especially considering we are now on the 11th

Fair enough they have 'issues' but typing a one line explanantion isnt exactly difficult.....look how easy dogie does it , and hes just making stuff up based on previous information....

how can it be so difficult/time consuming for 'Bitmain' to type one line??

FFS!

I agree, batch 1 got shipped on time to what was specified on the site... by my account, this delivery is already 1 day late... disappointing.

Oh dear god, really?  One day late and people are moaning.  C'mon!

Way to miss the point entirely!

Communication!

'Hi Guys, We are going to be delayed as we are busy fixing stuff' - wow, i couldve got so much else done while i typed that!

Why dont u stick to spamming us all with your so-called signature while we wait for our miners, eh?

Oh f$&@ off!  You suddenly expect BitMain to start communicating?  This is their M.O. so why such surprise when they aren't posting on the boards every time you get pissy-pants?

Btw, I'm waiting for my Batch 2 as well.  And so sooorrry my sig offends you so much.  Go complain to a mod you big baby.

1. Bitmain's revenues are in BTC
2. Chips/equipment bought probably with FIAT
3. The price of BTC took a dive
4. He is in China. Even possible to convert BTC to FIAT anymore?

My bet is that he is in BIG financial trouble. Let's hope he delivers!

[jelin1984]

still no tracking number of btach 2

[klondike_bar]

give bitmain time. its not uncommon to give the tracking info 24hrs+ after they ship, and i am expecting to receive my tracking info in the next 14 hours. (If not after 14hrs ill be a touch more concerned, but they have a great track record that speaks for itself. they focus on shipping, not forums

Something wrong maybe no news and is it 11 of month

Hi guys , just wonder with S2 unit how much can make $ per day .Thanks 

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator

About $30 USD a day.

and to follow up  the s-2 will be a loser if btc does not rise in price.  I do my roi in fiat/cash not btc.

but even if you do your roi in btc   a big fiat price rise of btc will allow for much longer mining. 

As most mining gear is priced these will be close to a money maker .  depends on each person using it.

Some people have very low power costs. etc

Hey everyone,

i have a batch 2 S2 coming and UPS My choice shows a label having been created yesterday but the item hasn't been scanned by UPS yet.

I ordered an S1 while they were in stock the 9th and that HAS been picked up by UPS and is on its way.

So looks like these won't be getting to us until earliest mid next week  

My best guess is they are applying updates to our units or making a last minute change before shipment.

They have over 20.000 BTC on their account. I take your bet.

Thanks for those specs. Can you tell me are those temps with the fans changed and case on or off ? Do you have temps for pre fan change ? Can you also tell me were the original fans 25mm ? i can see the new ones you put in are 38mm..do they fit in cleanly with the cover on ?

Case on.

I have an other one running with case off and stock fans at between 53-63C. It's just siting next to the other one.

Stock fans are 120*120*38 so no problem to replace them

1 x S2 -- Shipped, but not pick-up yet
6 x S1 -- purchased on April 8th shipped, picked-up, and on flight out of China


Hmm could be UPS scan error, or S2 has not left the building.
