anyone got a spare 1352.254 BTC

What concerns me more is that those miners behind him are actually set up for mining; as in not manufacture, but farming...

Does that mean Bitmain is actually doing "burn-in-testing" on the live net too (before selling it to "us")?!?

Its a US farm so its probably on behalf of a customer.

How do you know this, I don't think png files store exif GPS data?

It is written inside the sell offer.

Bitmain is selling 1Ph!!!

See here

I would be interesting to see who can take that on, Way out of my league.

DOH! So the deal is actually to buy a used mining farm.

Looks like it /speculation.

of course......

Seems like it... Doesn't it...

Ever since the S1, strange you act like its some big conspiracy. Antminers have been delivered covered in dust on the fans since the beginning.

usually they ship stuff straight from the assembly line for early batches, and if its not pre-sold, they plug it in and mine while they sell thier stock. im totally fine with that IMO.

i resell locally, and mine for anything from a few days to a few months until my kijiji ads lead to a sale.

To me this is a losing deal for the buyer.

Probably right

per Month    430.08787145 BTC    $135370.16

with $80 per unit costs PCM = $40K

You would make (if nothing changes) a little over $80K PCM

Still not to be sneezed at, ROI of around 5 1/2 months. (again if nothing changes)

This is based on a cash purchase.

Remember the gold rush, The only people who made money was the people selling the tools to the workers

And this is likely a list, asking price. Who knows what someone could close it at.

[Medow]

Also there is one thing members forget to mention, if bitmain mining in USA then this mean the power price rate is not that cheap as we all think on china.

I think it was not less than 2 cents in china.

[Bananana]

Bitmain is selling 1Ph!!!

See here

It should be cheaper for buying 1 PH deal, you can easily get 0.4$ per GH/s deal any other place. At least another 40% price cut before its worth it 6 digit risk.

I got a spare $1,352...

No thanks man, those things are, despite being total bad asses, are loud as hell and finicky as fuck.

I got one mining outside @ -5C, those things seem to like being frozen

The good thing about this is that it host for you so you don't need to care about the loud noise and so on, you just need to care about purely ROI and some luck.

[lowbander80]

funny thing s that there are two lots available on each customer so if I had the money and could with a friend 4phs can be bought...
curious to see where these miners will end, ebay, private sale, retail from BItmain as used, other???

[wpgdeez]

It's getting tougher moving hardware. People are wising up.

That is due to Dogie being a paid employee of bitmaintech. He/she will never say negative things about his/her meal ticket.

New hardware has been announced. Very few will buy old tech that will unprofitable in a month or two.

I'd be interested in how often they are replacing burnt out power supplies and costs associated.

[MyRig]

Hardware failure rate is average less than 0.5%

Current S4 has different PSU than batch 1 and partial Batch 2.  Hashing PCB is newer design and the control PCB has newer design and internal cables are different.
