only one coupon can be used per S4. This is scam-ish at best. Same as its always been, prevents abuse. Else it would be buy 7 S2s, get an S4 free. Its meant to be buy S2s, be rewarded for your patronage. You can still sell your other 6 S2 vouchers if you choose to. |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Is it just me or does this sound like "we priced the S4 so high plus extra shipping to make you buy our cloud instead" ?
AFAIK shipping is at near cost. BTC is low so when people see .4 and .5 charges to ship an 18kg box express around the world they're surprised. 0.4 is only $150. |

In case nobody else noticed, their site has conflicting information for the power efficiency.
The miner specs say it is 0.69W/GHS, but their "Never-Ending Progress" picture shows it @ ~0.48W/GHS.
I assume the 0.69W/GHS is the correct value...
And what's with the misleading efficiency chart? The text clearly states that it is .69w/GHs but the chart show .4w/GHs.
The never ending progress picture is misleading because it shows S4 power efficiency coming in at under .5W/GH, but your official specs say the power efficiency is .69W/GH.
BITMAIN why did the graph showing efficiency change and whats with the green dotted line now?
It was changed based on feedback. The green dotted line represents the unit running @ 1TH. |

Hello, needs the S4 a normal C13 cable (like a PC power supply) to power? Like this:  I ask because Bitmain write 16A and C13 is normaly not rated for 16A. Yes, judging by the picture it's C13. You'll need a 14GA C13 if running on 120V, or standard 18GA if 240v. Could someone provide a couple of links to the correct cable needed for the S4? |

This means I won't sit here and reply to every post saying Bitmain is a scam, don't buy from Bitmain etc etc, in this thread. It does NOT prohibit me from saying that in my own threads, if that is what I believe. It also has absolutely no impact on their rating in the Manufacturer trustwothiness thread [in which Bitmain just went down 10 points].
While I have some reservations about that I think overall this is a step in the right direction for Bitmain. Their communication to customers is somewhat lacking. Good luck with the inevitable troll attack. |

dogie, good move for bitmain guess they do listen. Q. Can you find out what the decibel level is trying to figure out if this is going to be too loud for home.
Edit-- Didn't see where you were going to look into it from the earlier post, thanks.

Yeah I'll test my unit tomorrow as long as UPS doesn't mess up. |

Wow that's an expensive machine... the power usage isn't that bad, but it's way too expensive. That's like 4-5 months to make a profit. Mining is truly dead these days... damn what a shame.

If it was 4-5 months until you started to make a profit, people would be all over this. |

More info for S4... To Power up S4, you have to hold a little nob (switch) on the PSU for 2-3 seconds. Then it will power up. Other wise, you may think it is a DOA like S2 used to be  Video from Bitmain as more infomation regarding the S4. I think this is easier than someone try to word how noisy it is It push & Pull massive amount of air!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD4vdR7ZS8s&feature=youtu.beS4 does come with 2 server ears. (There is NO POWER CORD included) The box is well packed!! |

I see no place on their order forms, or a way for that matter, to use S2 coupons to apply to the S4 to get another $200 off besides the coupon they just issued for $200. Can anyone confirm that they are allowing S2 coupons to be used for a discount?
I believe you can only use a single coupon per order--they don't stack. @BITMAIN, please clarify, is it one coupon each order or one coupon each unit? Same as always did, one coupon for one unit  |

(There is NO POWER CORD included) The box is well packed!! That dba rating is why I stopped measuring in my reviews - they're misleading. 74 is very, very loud but at the same time you're saying its not much louder than an S3? And the video suggests not much louder than an S3 or an S2. I think its a lot more about sound quality than sound pressure. Some of my units are incredibly annoying but are 10 dba quieter apparently than others. |
