please forgive me is this is most likely obvious to everyone else...

I have several S1 miners. very pleased with their reliability and efficiency. if I purchase the s1 upgrade kit, do I receive hardware that I then install to the existing units? do i send them my S1s and they then send me upgraded miners? I do appreciate the clarification,  thank you!

and it is 450 gh/s *total* per upgraded S1 dual blade unit? I was told 450 per blade, totaling 900+?

Has anyone received the upgrade kit?  Bitmain promised shipping on the 20 of Aug or earlier, but so far it is 'unshipped'

Buy an S3, sell your S1 for at least $63, save your time and effort for more important things.

since i see no mention of having to update FW on the controller:

if the same PIC firmware is protocol compatible between the S3 and S1, then i wont have to change anything in the S1 driver i've started on for bfgminer!!!! YAY

Nope, not ordering any more of these until the price comes down or they allow ordering single units (at a lower price). They'll never make the coin back at a month away. The DIY factor is cool and I enjoy that aspect, but I don't enjoy it enough to sink more btc in it.

May be time to throw out some coupons, BitMain. (hint, hint)

You'd save 0.12 BTC and probably need to spend an hour of DIY per miner to upgrade. I guess if I still enjoyed doing this I would go this route.

One question its not to clear to me do we need two kits for one S1 or it that how hes selling it . if so i don't have a problem with it  either way but be careful imo If we only need one kit I see why  hes requires a two kit buy, I've  seen some places charge the price for two or little less for one kit the way the adds read you only get one for the price of two or a little less  Sad . so yea I'll hold off as well to see how that plays out .



O yea the S1  is still very use full but if i need one kit per S1 or  even if  its needs 2  per S1 still worth it to me, if you have a S1/s ones all ready.  


 upgrade one  sell off the other kit . if you only plan to upgrade one i can see other reason why  you have to buy two but as i said  be care full if its one kit per S1 .

S1 may or may not go up big time at first till we do .

Id rather pay 150 US in the US for one then buy it off ebay, in some cases eBay is great  but as some one  said about eBay the cheap ones on eBay are most  likely on there last legs and well used and sense no one really knows for sure that Ive seen how the upgrade works i mean what condition the old S1 need to be in what does it replace . etc etc  . expect what the add said you get  two boards and some other stuff which looks like a normal upgrade kit do we need the old boards etc etc


 I might be wrong can't say i only buy certain things off eBay then it's new. Smiley .


 i see why he would require the two kit buy some will buy the kits just to build two S3 at a very reduced price  if all you need is the heat sinks and frame .  


 over the years I've found when doing most upgrades you don't need the old one  , its just makes it easier if you  have it  .Smiley  well any way I'm done just my  2s worth sense i have not seen  just what it does . my bad you get with the kit


1.   2 units of hash boards

2.  2 units of mini customized heat sink

3.  1 unit of adapter board

4.  1 unit of control board holder

5.  1 fan including the fan's cover and screws

6.  4 units of white plastic brackets, 2 units of 2x10 pin cables, 8 screws, 8 spring screws, 1 bag of thermal paste


buy looking at that you won't need the S1 in any way just a the kit and a  little no know how  unless the S1 has some thing on it you may need.


hm can't wait two S3 for the price of one all you do is put it to gather which some can't do Smiley .

Another thing you'll need to consider is the noise. I had to take apart an S3 for an RMA and had it running without the case and it was loud. The fans make a lot of noise - aka old school vacuum cleaner noise. It's something to consider if you're a home miner and have ppl in the house that tolerate your hobby.

So we will need a case to reduce the noise i have no idea how loud the  S3 are out of  the Case  s1 are annoying enough at times .I'm re modding the cooling on my two S1 for a little  less noise .



 more sells for cases, i see all kinds of way to make money if that's  the case and a smart move  on the DEV part .
