Best Regards

I hope it is not going to be another pre-order situation like the L1. We can all see how that is playing out! 

[sergio]

if it is a pre-order it is better to stay away, your dignity is more valuable.

I have been burnt really bad by the crooks at BFL  and the crooks at KNC.

Bitmain has been on the better side other than the miners at times barely ROI, and other times do not.

It is incredible but my best mining times were in the GPU days, which are well gone.

So far the best choices for mining looks like it is the S3, S4, S5?, and SP20.

If anyone knows of another good choice I would like to hear about it, remember when mining not only good hardware is needed but hardware that has potential for ROI.

It is best to stay away from low quality hardware like BFL, and KNC, I have not had experience with other vendors.

All my S1, and S3 have been very solid, with at most a drop in hashing of 10%, but some had a 5% better hashing, with KNC I had a 75% drop in hashing over a short period of time.

Would be nice to know that the price and specs are before we start quoting our "budgets"

here is your s5:

https://blockchain.info/blocks/AntPool

this pool was less than 5% few months back when the network power was smaller...

[lovenlifelarge]

If u wanna a real speculation of the s5 it would be a 4th or 8th mining unit using smaller fabchips or if not running on water cooling!

Why couldn't the s4 be adapted to run water cooling thats been adapted from the S3 to the C1?

& use the same thing with the s2 to create the new C2 or S5 whatever u wanna call it?

[spazzdla]

Not interested in a water cooled unit TBH..  I will buy three of the S5 miners when they come out if they are the same design idea as the S1 and S3.   So easy to setup!!  Not a big purchase I know but I am just a little hobby miner .  I want my "vote" on bitcoin lol. IMO the S1 and S3 are PERFECT just perfect for the hobby miner. 

[siampumpkin]

Any news or rumors lately on the s5?

S5

[AJinNYC]

Anybody got pricing ideas on this thing? Debating a S3+ or holding off.

I think you are right, they are making a fortune right now "testing" the machines.

i hope they are renting them out to those paycoin miners, they are paying a pretty sum for rentals at the moment

If they are already mining using S5 then this good, because this mean there will be no extra hash on the network when they but it on sell.

Really? like someone using your wife for stuff and when he finishes with her, you may have it...
Bull Shit!

We are already in this situation because most batch 1 rig on the market is used gears.

Yeah, but many of us are horny as hell and will more than likely pay to do the hoar (used S5).  Even if we have to put a bag over her head to hide the use and a clip on our nose to hide the smell.

dmwardjr ... hang your head in shame you little shit ... GET OFF THIS FORUM YOU IDIOT.

What is your problem?

I'm talking about the S5, Dude.

"Her" is the S5...

bag over "her" (S5) head [actually our head] to hide (ignore) it is used. and clip on our nose to hide the smell (electronic heat odor) from use.

Ease up dude.  Have you ever heard of metaphors?

Those dude's are joking and I use a metaphor, only to get jumped on by you.  Was simply trying to be funny and I think you are drawing the wrong conclusion.

You get off this forum if you think I'm going to disrespect a man's wife I don't even know!  Hell, he may not even be married!  So, IF you think I'm talking about a man's wife, you got me dead wrong!  PERIOD!  I'm married and have a child.  I respect women!  My wife earned my utmost respect when I saw what she went through when giving birth to our son!  

IF he is married, I have the utmost respect for him cause getting married and having children is a beautiful thing.  Having a family of our own is an honorable place to attain in life.  I was simply using a metaphor as a joke and you obviously took it the wrong way.

I'm referring to us guys who are hard up for even a used S5 like a horny despot in search of a hoar.

Ease up, Dude!

FAR BE IT FOR ME TO DISRESPECT A MAN (BITMAIN) WHO HAS DONE A LOT FOR THE BITCOIN COMMUNITY IF THAT IS WHAT YOU THINK I'M DOING.  I ALREADY HAVE 23 OF HIS RIGS.  I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANY OTHER EQUIPMENT BUT HIS BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST EQUIPMENT ON THE PLANET... BY FAR!!!  I WAS TALKING ABOUT A DAMN USED S5!!!!!

ALSO, I DON'T BELIEVE BITMAIN WILL SEND PEOPLE USED S5'S.  HE WOULD KEEP THEM AT ANTPOOL FOR WOULD BE RENTERS.  MY OPINION!!!!

SO, SLOW YOUR ROLL!!!!

AS FOR "LITTLE SHIT," THIS LITTLE SHIT WOULD CHEW YOU A NEW ASS!  YOU WOULD DIE FROM EXHAUSTION TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ME.

I served my country proudly in the United States Marine Corp and I respect freedom, women and family BIG TIME!  If you say I'm disrespecting women by using the word, "hoar," then you are saying God is disrespectful to women by using the word "Harlot" (hoar) in His Word.

It all lies with the "intent."  My "intent" was to point out how many of us would still buy a "used" S5 [although I don't believe it would be used] because many of us are so hard up for an S5.  I gave a metaphor of "how hard up" by using a horny despot in search of a hoar to describe how "hard up" many of us are [including me] for an S5.

So, I think you owe me an apology OR we can continue this bull crap measuring each others dick [Also a metaphor].  It's up to you...
