Nope, its just speculation.

At the mods I thought my joke was funny, but I understand the deletion.
At the op there is no way an s-5 will be built for many months to come. Now if some one puts out a .2 watt miner
the s-5 may show up as a competitor.
Builders don't need to build miners faster if they have a good miner on the market. Once some real .2 watt gear is built something like a .25 watt s-5 will appear.

So far bitmain is really good with power efficiency, I believe they would come out S5 with 0.4 watt at least.

This is almost exactly what I said a few days before they announced the S4...lol

There won't be an S5 available for retail sale, in my opinion. If BitMain develops an S5, they'll stock their DCs with them and if you're lucky they offer some cloudmining up for sale. But most likely it will be just another massive private mining operation. Home mining is dead. But don't lemme stop ya'll from speculatin' & dreamin'. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Mining is still alive with cheap electricity. I will agree it's no longer the 3 month roi guarentee. At one time I could be sure to be in profit at 90 days, now my calculations are going longer. I think Bitmain will continue to sell to public as it is a benefit for both, with them selling public the gear is cheaper for them as everything is in bigger quantity. I do agree there will be a day when most are "cloud mining". As i like hardware i hope it is still a little ways away. Cloud mining is getting cheaper though and will continue to be more and more attractive. nothing is ever dead till its dead and gone and we no longer here about it . how i see it . right now its not dead depends on what you term as dead . but my thought on dead is dead and is no more . like gold mining by some one off the streets that is truly dead . Some still try it and lose all they have etc .but home mining is it not dead in the sense of how you do it and what you want form it . oyea How greedy are you ! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Cloud mining should be more profitable then own hardware now cause they can get cheaper shipment charges, cheaper mining hardware and cheaper electricity charges due to bulk..

It is cheaper but still not as cheap for me..... find me one where you own the hardware and can get less then 10 cents per kwh. It just is not to that point yet. And look at some hardware such as S3 and S4 there is still no bulk discount they are selling good without it. If you went with prisma or something you could get bulk discount.

No, the S series goes to small miner to big S1 small 180 ghash s2 big 1000 ghash (or 1thash) s3 small 440ish ghash s4 big 2thash c1 (middle)?) 1thash s5 small but either 600-800? The c1 is using their new miner but is pretty expensive (most are at launch) it may be a middle inbetween miner still for home use though. c1 1thash (liquid cooled 2 s3 boards oc'ed) 2 C1s come pretty close to the S4 in price when you add PSU's and water kit. The S4 is probley slightly cheaper. If you have PSUs laying around that are 1k watts + then C1 is better deal for you.

This is very true. Why release when you don't have to?

But there's nothing to release because Bitmain don't have a more efficient chip yet and may never have one for sale to the public. Home mining is dead and the current generation of ASICs is probably the last that will be released to the masses.

Electric is like .22$ a kwh in sweden, they'll have a hard time if they're sticking there with their warehouses. Homemining is alive though im doing fine with my 1th at 700w & .06$/kwh but thats just me. i dont know where you get your numbers from, i as a private household pay $0.165, if i opt for a longer contract (with higher usage), i can get it down to $0.105. (since im looking to buy a house, i wont be getting the cheaper option until ive bought a house)

is it reliable? Would it be of S1, S3 family (small, standalone, no PSU) devices or one of S2 and S4 family? My bet is on it being a hybrid between S3 and Prisma (AM). Maybe 1.2-1.3 TH for 1-1.1 BTC, hopefully.
