Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Just got my new S2 in today and it works great! What a major bummer they decided to just go with the kit. This thing is really a great design, I must have been one of the last to order one.

Can't wait to see the S3!

Now I'm ready to see the price of BTC go higher. LOL

Solid advice.  Will be shaving my head tonight.

Done!! Instant hash rate increase!! Also it seems to reduce rejected shares if you sing a lullaby to the asic.
Guess it just needs to feel the love...

BitMain is unhappy about customers selling coupons. So it's no longer being done.

How about next time don't give us so freaking many....I had over 70 S2 coupons and had never bought a single one. Plus, why allow donating if not wanting them to be used?

There was a comment from BitMain recently in this thread or the S1 thread about (paraphrased) "unhappy that the coupons were being used in the spirit of which they didn't intend". Which I assume means that they didn't like people reselling coupons.

So if they were making profit for 1650 and also the Groupbuy  guy then they have not only 200 margin but maybe 3-4 times this
remember its china they produce them not Luxemburg.

I will give you that.  Since we are speculating, my guess is that there was not much of a profit margin on the $1650 Group Buy.  With that, you can't fault a legitimate company for asking for a decent profit margin while still undercutting the price of ANY competitors.  I will reserve judgement until we see what the upgrade plan looks like.

I think they offer this kit only for the buyer that is in rush to purchase.After their holidays something else
will be announced just like the S1 that went out of stock and later on after 10 days if am not mistaken
on sale again....
In companies like bitmain the income clock must turn fast as a fan not its only like a clock and this is not
good as its increasing the temperature....
 

is this a riddle?

Don't be fooled, that comment was not from BITMAIN, it was from BITMA1N... it was part of a scam email. I don't think Bitmain would add the donate feature if they didn't want them passed around.

For real?! Now I'll have to go look for that post, if it wasn't deleted.

Found it:

I'm in the same boat .. I was going to buy a S2 today but noticed that my two coupons that had the 30th on them were only valid for a second after midnight .. I requested a donation on this board and Bitmain sent me this response.

Hi,

No need to purchase an S2 coupon.
As they are being used against the spirit they were issued we now offer the discount directly to any customer.
Current price for the Antminer S2 after discount is 3.73 btc inc. express shipping.
Should you wish to place an order the payment address is -

So in short Bitmain is using the god fortune of the rising bit coin price and calling it a discount .. The fact that they think I'm that dumb is an insult as a customer. The fact that people were selling coupons that they would not have used was only HELPING Bitmain making a sale where no sale would have been made.. The real sore spot it leaves me with is that Bitmain thinks I'm stupid and do not recognize that they feel their customers are brainless . They know good and well that it is already hard to make a ROI on this equipment, and to top it off most uf us turn around and buy more equipment from them, that translates to "we basically mine BTC for them" … I just find it so dishonorable on their part that they think we are that stupid .

!!!! ATTENTION SCAM ALERT !!!!

There is a person using the username B1TMAIN trying to get people to send bitcoins to him saying that he will offer you a discounted price .

Apologies for the coupon situation , as a good will gesture taking in to account your previous coupons I will do each unit for 3 btc inc. free express shipping.

Hope this resolves the issue and returns a good trading relationship between us for the future.

Should you wish to place an order the payment address is -

1tt9mUabKN7zyosGNFkP6uXvJpLUBwRTo

After payment please pm me the transaction I.D and your shipping address.

p.s. I would appreciate it if you would keep this offer quiet as its not one we could offer to everyone.

Thanks,

BITMAIN.

NOTE ! he is signing it Bitmain, but his account it B1tmain …. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS and lose your hard earned bit coin … Please be careful and ONLY use the Bitmain web interface to complete transactions .

Actually, most (including me) were simply donating them, as the button invited them to do.  And I'm pretty sure Bitmain said that more coupons were on the way for recent purchasers.

"weren't being used in the spirit which they intend"

translated

"too many discounts -you want broken stuff, fucking pay for it - we'll just put prices up now too"

Read my post a the top of the page, this was an attempt to scam people into buying miners from someone other than Bitmain. Looks like the confusion is working  Wink
