ANTMINER S4 2TH/s, Batch 1 on Sale this week, shipping before Sept. Ends

[iglasses]

Holy crap!!  You can't even come close to ROI on this.  

Bitmain, if you have decided to be a mining farm instead of a hardware sales Co. just tell us and we won't expect anything.

This is lunacy.

Seriously, people need to stop buying expensive machine.. look at other manufacturer they still sell no matter how expensive it is..

[yan7181]

Greed is a BAD thinking in any religion in the world, buddy...

So you CAN fault anybody...and any business for been GREEDY...OK...

ZiG

EDIT...: $1450... I am NOT buying this S4..."no way, Jose"...

I will go with SP-Tech SP20 for $1190 ...1.8TH...Later...

Do not forget

SP20´=$1190 + $160 EU ($119 US) = $1350  + PSU (1100W)  + 20 days later

Is it really cheaper.

Its called price fixing… Bitmain didn't use to be like that.

They may just leave pricing as it is until they are done mining with them as this is obviously what they are doing...

TBH I still think batch 1 will sell out within hours as some people will still buy no matter what they price these at.

One aspect that I like is the $200 coupon for existing S2 owners, with the intention to still have an upgrade in future (S6 kit?).

Although, this price should be the base price for everyone to be honest. Then this would be worth a gamble to some, rather than an instant 'no thanks' at the current prices.

BITMAIN - Please rethink the additional postage charge  at the very least!

To all customers that ordered AntMiner S2s: We analysed the business case for S2 upgrade kits for end users and determined that it would not be worthwhile for either party.

...........

Where are my Coupons?

[jh7phone]

I checked my account there are no coupons in there, should be 3. I wouldn't buy S4 now but maybe I could sell them cheap to someone who still wants to mine for fun. You can pm me if you want 3 S4 coupons if bitmain adds them to my account.

  well look on the brighter side of things..

 these s-4's will make your s-3's more valuable . 

 watts are mentioned at .69 at the wall so this unit pulls 1380 watts

 I pulled images from bitmaintech website.  that is a server psu.

[newguy05]

this price is insane, what happened to bitmain, he used to always price the miners on the borderline ROI so if you are lucky you can make a tiny profit.  But now it's not even in the same universe to ROI.

Easy pass, you must be complete clueless to buy this at the listed price.

It will they know it i won't be buying one i have the cash for it to no coins but cash in the bank . at that price and  the things you all say about the stats make it  less appealing to buy but its end game so they will buy it because of  that a lone and Bitmains knows it.

NO shipping/shipping pricing
NO power cable
BAD pricing !
Customized PSU if broken, DOA, ETC = more downtime & wait for a replacement & pay MORE !

DON'T BUY even with coupons !

assuming shipping remains the same (most likely more) USD 200 + USD 1450 (S4) + USD 10 (power cable) = USD 1660 for 1 unit of S4 = TOO EXPENSIVE !
 
People listen up DON'T BUY so the GREED can be stopped ! or you can happily continue to flush your $ or BTC down the toilet bowl.

i truly agree with you

it is not as power efficient also and noisy. todays asics has to be 0.50 w/ghs or lower.

[oskuro]

I think its crazy for 2 TH paying that amount lol.

Better buying 4 S3 and OC

[toptek]

Seriously, people need to stop buying expensive machine.. look at other manufacturer they still sell no matter how expensive it is..

I am now i really thought they meant what they said in there about so far up to now they seem to.

but from what other says it's not that cutting edge and nothing stands out about it .  
it's mostly geared to the  very rich or one willing to shell out that cash . i may just look at a spondoolies i was hoping the S4 be would be lower then the  spo  and  a lot more efferent .


I may even buy one of this now and peace it to gather sense I like building stuff ,
