its ALIVE!!

Yes.  Thank you!

Bitmain, for those of us who opted for S5 coupons instead of L1 refunds, when can we expect those to be credited? Thanks.

 UK another warranty conditions or .. no warranty at all?

Well, just ordered 2 of them to give a test run. Maybe that will help me decide on my year-end purchases.

[MyRig]

oops...  Same condition.

Any coupons for us customers that purchased before?

At US$900 including shipping (for a pair), the S4 is still a better buy with the coupons. I like the S4 as it comes with a PSU. Many will disagree with me but I hate having a ton of wires running around the place. The S4 is neat with only 2 cables. 1 in 1 out.

Yes. Power efficiency is better but (even if I have a PILE of PSU) add the cost of a PSU, way too expensive. The gain is not inviting unless you're running a megafarm, then the cost of electricy even if reduced by 1cent is alot.

Would be nice if units could be sold by UK reseller and gets stock in cheap and no Import duties as would like to buy some of these S5 however would kill me on import duties and tax.

Get your units hosted somewhere in the US.. There are plenty of places offering hosting..

Another thing that really worries me is the chained design. Does it mean if one chip fails, the whole board fails?

So instead of getting 00XX0X00 we get -----------------?

Please tell me I'm wrong.

Hi, there will be two kinds of possible fails. Both are possible.

But string design makes the PCB very simple, which left far more less possible reasons for the hardware to go wrong. That is what we have seen in the S3++, a private batch which use chained design with BM1382 chip.

only ~$40 per unit shipping UPS to US if you order three.

$84.66 for 2 x S5 to FL, USA...

yep, the more you order, the less you pay per unit for shipping. I priced in 6 units, then they are ~$27-28 each shipping, but would like to see if these are reliable.

What about letting me use some of these S3 coupons I have laying around?

How about using the S4 coupons. LOL. I'll buy a container load.

Thank you for your reply. But like you said, there is still a chance of failure. With the current S4 for example. Even if one chip is completely dead. I can still use it. But with the chained design if one chip goes silent, that's it. End of story.

I like the power efficiency but your price tag.. and the chance of having one miner out of action just because of 1 single chip... I don't know, it's nagging me in my head...

Got those as well.

[sidehack]

That's why I've asked about parallel current paths (like the FETs on Prismas and such), which can pick up the load slack if a chip drops out. Of course, you also need to not have daisychained comms for that to work perfectly.
