Bitmain,
Any chance of getting some pics of the business end of an S3? I would like to see the connectors, etc. so I am ready to plug in when they start shipping.
You guys are just kidding about the July 10 (if not later) date right? You are really planning to box em up and ship on the 5th or 6th RIGHT?? lol
ig
The picture on the site shows the power connectors, 4 PCIe on top but only two are needed... |

I'm having a hard time with this...
I certainly WANT to buy up a number of these...I even was ready to pull the trigger on another rack at my co-lo here for the hosting.
But running the numbers I'm having 0 luck making it make sense...
I'm seeing positive returns die after 4 months, with maybe 60-70% of the initial cost being recouped (after electricity costs) before they would need to be shut down. Even if I ran them at home with a slightly lower hosting cost it's a no-go.
Is anyone able to pull together numbers that make sense? Or are we rushing to buy these because we want new toys?
And remember...the argument of buying them in the hopes of BTC skyrocketing just means you may as well spend your money on more coins, or holding the ones you have...
Start mining as soon as you get the S3, and keep tabs on what they are selling for around the web... From my experience, mining for 50%-75% of the miners life on full tilt or OC'd if possible gives you enough coin (barring no crazy drops in value) that you can then sell the miner for some profit.. I have done this with a few 1TH+ machines and it has yet to fail. I'm hoping the same is true with smaller power, more in demand antminers.. Edit: this is my first time buying new, so it might not work out. In the past i've bought used, mined for a few weeks then flipped for the same price i paid on ebay. They pay crazy prices over there, just factor in ebay and paypal fees. |

Paid, unshipped and expired. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. My transaction had 5+ confirmations when the order expired.  just click on the green VIEW button on the right. that's PDF of your order. if it says CONFIRMED-you are in, save pdf on your desktop just in case. they had some kind of malfunction between 14:21 and 14:52 |

The only confirmation I see is "Pay Confirm 1.5 BTC". Is that it? |

How do I know: because this is EXACTLY what my previous (S1 and S2) orders said |

This makes me feel better. I'm still surprised 3+ hours later that i haven't heard anything back from customer support... I understand its a busy day, but it wuld be nice for them to bring their communication/customer service standards up to the level of their hardware. I believe this a key factor in any business. I have the exact same scenario going on.

Nor have I. |

Nor have I. that pdf is your confirmation, your initial order should have email sent back to you (not the confirmation) I never get confirmation email from bitmain BEFORE the item is shipped, you get one on shipping. |

The days of 4 months ROI are coming to an end of course. You'll simply have to run the machine for a little longer time... Not sure what charts you're looking at, likely difficulty which is a major estimate. IMO Bitcoin mining should be a long term investment game. Energy cost to run an S3 is approx $0.88 - $1 a day. I don't expect that this machine will go from earning $9 per day to only $1 per day for a very long time. So, if it's making more than $1 a day there is no reason to turn it off. I imagine I will still be running my S1's for some time... so long as I have the space (though it's more likely I will sell them and upgrade to S3). Also should note I am supplementing income by leasing to earn a little more BTC per day. |

The picture on the site shows the power connectors, 4 PCIe on top but only two are needed... As the announcement said the other two are for "over clocking". It seems that BitMain is taking into account that we plan to over clock. ......but to what amount is the question? |

The price is in BTC - no matter what the rate of your particular fiat currency. Would you ask for a price adjustment if the rate went down? |

Are we all conditioned to actually believe crap like "3-4month ROI are over"?? 15%diff, 24 days from now start time with free power.... ROI in 110 days  Its a cruel joke right? Bitmain, please re-spin your numbers and come back with a 80-90 day ROI like your end of line S1 My 10 S1 will earn 40% more by the end of 2015 then 10 S3 will... (free power, up to 18kw, thank you poorly written 3 year lease!) |
