thats twice the price has gone up in the last 3 days...

why not just charge in BTC??

Its disgraceful keep changing the price so we can hardly earn a satoshi no matter what the  BTC price does!


They do charge in BTC.  They only quote in USD, (and BTC right next to it).  The price is dropping.  Right now they're at 3.961 BTC.  Just earlier today they were at 4.02ish.  They cost less today than they did two days ago when I bought mine.  How hard is that to comprehend?

And before you say that if you buy in fiat the price has gone up then let me just counter that by saying that if you start mining with one you're also going to make more fiat than you would have done as well.  You can't have it both ways.  You either price in BTC and the cost has gone down while the earning potential remains the same, or you price in fiat and the cost has gone up but so has the earning potential.  Take your pick.

This is a potential problem for miner.   You paid a high price for the S2 because BTC went up; however, during the handling/shipping time (5 days), BTC went down 20%.  You got double whammy because of the price increase and lower btc price when you finally got to mine.
The fluctuation in price of BTC has always been a potential problem for miners.  This is nothing new.  And certainly complaining about Bitmain's prices seems pointless to me.

What earning potential are you talking about?
The earning potential is the same, even if it is less than zero profit.  That doesn't change the opinion I posted.

if the USD price had not been raised AGAIN - the BTC price would actually be reasonable rather than STILL disgracefully high

duh
In my opinion Bitmain didn't raise the USD price, he lowered the BTC price.  Since as far as I know he's always charged in BTC, and these are bitcoin miners.  Current exchange rates is what raised the USD price, and you can't blame Bitmain for that.  If you buy products from a country with a different currency you're always subject to exchange rates, and they may be favorable to you or not.  This is no different.

bitmain price for now is whatever is better for them to max their profit. If BTC going high then price is in BTC and if BTC going down then price is in USD Tongue

  I have to side with you.

 Also right now asicminer new gen gear is selling at 1170 usd for 800gh   

    so do I want to spend   2309 usd here (well 1909 usd after coupon)  and get a 1000 gh unit or do I want to spend 1170 usd and get an 800 gh unit.

   I have to add a psu. I have one.

I have to add a rasp Pi  so  for 1230 usd I get  800gh vs   1909 for 1000gh   

 This is very simple if the new asic miner 800 gh machine is good these s-2's are very overpriced.

I think most people here have more than enough PSUs - question is how much (and what is) an RPI...

[edit] ah raspberry pi - $60 from amazon

Most people already have a PSU (or plenty of). The point is bitmain is no longer the best deal and once asicminer get their feet back in the door...
