Since the S2 ships in 48 hours, I'm guessing that maybe Bitmain only ships every other day.

And since its now the 17th in Hong Kong, with any luck the rest of batch 1 will ship within the next 17 hours.

That's my suspection:

The first difficulty in june was about 24% - i think this was the time Bitmaintech has set all available S3 online.
Now the next difficulty was only 3% and they say - hey lets make us the money and say ohhhh sorry we have some problems to deliver our S3 right now.
All S3 are mining for the factory and make money for them - okay they give the customers a little bit discount with an voucher...
And with the next (possible) higher difficulty they deliver - but all money from the 3% diff is gone to Bitmaintech...

Just my two cents...

It does give you pause to think.

This is the real way to mine Bitcoin:

- The factory have the latest hardware.
- The factory have all the hardware paid by Pre-Orders
- And the hardware is working for the factory

The owner of the factory have a big smile in the face + a lot of BTC in the wallet and we are all stupid idiot's
Bitmaintech is still learning from KnC, i think...

Then don't buy their hardware.  Seems simple enough to me.

I wish I had some more experience in integrated circuit design. Computer Science is great and everything but I guess this is the only time where IC design is more profitable than software.

Bitmaintech,

Can we get an update?  We have some anxious customers on here.

Bitmain stated in an earlier post that they only had an S2 farm and 1 S3 for testing. They could be lying who knows. The recent 24% could have been from other mining hardware being turned on and tested. Also if people are getting S3's and the parts smell brand new, then that's another indication that haven't mined with the S3's. It would take multiple weeks of running the S3's for the difficulty to raise 24%. I would think a couple weeks worth of use would be noticed by customers receiving their miners.

Have you ever considered how long it takes to ship out thousands of miners?

Yes, probably not too long. Suppose you have 10 people dealing with shipping and you want to ship 1000 miners a day, working 8 hours a day.

That means every person needs to package and ship one miner every five minutes. That doesn't sound very hard.

8 hours with no breaks!? sheesh I wouldnt want to work for you, plus thats only 960 units bruh.

That's why I said approximately.

But you know what, it is China. I don't think they do breaks.

I hope they aren't taking breaks! I want my miners already!!

But hey its almost 9:00am at that means they should be back at work and shipping again soon! 

[contactlight]

I received a reply from Bitmain a minute ago regarding their shipping procedures. They said they follow the "first to order, first to ship" method. I am hoping they'll be shipping today.
