Is there any way we can have 200 USD per 1TH some day?

Ofcourse.... will it be tomorrow no.  Chances are it will be a much larger TH machine (hard to guess future) and with the more TH they do lower price per TH.  I don't think were very close to the 200 goal you want.

What if i go directly to the source manufactures and buy a really large bulk asic?

The "source manufacturers" are BitMain, KNC, Spondoolies, Bitfury, AsicMiner, Cointerra, Butterfly Labs, HashFast and whoever makes those DragonMiner chips (Bitmine.ch?). I imagine that many of them would give you a bulk discount.

Do your own research though! There are several manufacturers (most of them, really) that you should stay far away from. One is under investigation by the FTC and at least one other is bankrupt. Hint... BFL and HF.

Thank you, this is helpful.

That guide is garbage.  I suggest any noob here to take Dogie's manuf. trustworthyness guides with a huge grain of salt and do your own due diligence.

Still nothing on bitmaintech.com

Now I'm not sure if the S5 will be released or not.

Not looking like it thus far.  I thought it was a bit too soon after the S4.  But, who knows?

[Rabinovitch]

It's Bitmain. You should doubt in their promises.

if there is a huge gain in power and hash rate, then i think they will mine using those asics on their farm till they sell it to home miner.

Has anyone heard of the magazine it was in before this?

I just got to thinking that would be one heck of a way to get a lot of views, make up a ad.

That's what I mentioned earlier.  Some website just wanting some hits on their site to show to potential customers (advertisers) who would pay to advertise on their website.

Exactly, "S5 my ass!"

An S1 with no upgrade kits is a bad investment in my opinion; UNLESS one does not have to pay for electricity in a college dorm or where ever.

So it's 16th in China now. Another one broken promise.

can we even substantiate that it was bitmain who were advertising this? there was nothing official from Bitmain to say they were even working on an S5? was there?

[Rabinovitch]

Maybe that's because Bitmain was afraid that they will not be able to keep this promise and they preffered not to make any official announce... I don't know...

possibly, but there was no mention of power specifications, or hashrate, so there was nothing really, to go on.

[Rabinovitch]

There was not even new chip's datasheet published...

Who promised it?
