Another question. If you order, are they still shipping used/dirty hardware or are they new? Anyone receive an S5 lately?
Received 5 yesterday... only one had mild dust on the fins... One fan cable was a little bit burnt, weird. "Brand New" units, folks ! ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=902305.msg10713712#msg10713712 )In all seriousness, Bitmain, please make an effort to stop lying to your customers in the future. -A pissed off customer |

Guys, do you use 2 fans in push-pull on your S5s or just one fan? IMHO 2 fans provide more "comfortable" environment for all chips amongst the hashing board, especially for those located closer to the "pull" fan, even if temperature sensor located in the middle of hashing board does not allow you to see huge temperature difference comparing to 1 fan configuration.
What do you think about it? Does second fan give any benefits or not?
p.s. I am sure it does, I just want to hear your thoughts about it.

Received new firmware from Bitmain- thank you. But to test it you need to put your miner into jeopardy and I'm not willing to burn up one of my miners right now. If Bitmain wants to ship me a beat up, old, dusty, used miner to test with I'd be more then happy to test it out completely in a home situation.
They did always have good support, got busy at times but always helped out when they could. They had some growing pains, but all companies that grow so fast do.

The fan control firmware? i have tested already same problems you can set your fan speed manually but it dosent work, the miner stops mining when hits 80C that works. If you try to OC your miner it wont work because is not saving the OC option and your miner will work default at 200 MHz tested this firmware on 30 s5- and now i-am back to the 01.IAn firmware. |

You raise a very interesting scenario... Bitmain, if you are selling "brand new" units for $360, can you cut us a deal on your "old used" units for cheaper, provided they function to spec ? The dustier, the cheaper ! For testing purposes... of course... EDIT: THE FUCK !? Just checked the page and they jacked the price of the S5's to $378 USD. Seriously... Fuck you, Bitmain. Your greed is despicable. Only in the world of Bitcoin is something like this considered acceptable. Time to start looking for a new hobby.  |

Funny you mention "old used" units .... now they seem to have frozen the BTC to USD rate at $262.8 on their site (despite the fillip in the rate). What next, price rise from $360 for the "brand new" units ? |

I see, well you could contact bitmain international support and not Bitmain in China. You will spend less on shipping because they have service center near you. |

He is right ! They always raise the price when the value of bitcoin goes up but when it drops they never lower it !!!!!!!!!!!
You got a point there, but you missed the elephant in the room if you intended to buy with bitcoin. They have held the rate of USD to BTC at an older (lower 1 BTC = USD 262.  rate despite the additional $18 increase; google currently states a price of 1BTC = 273 BTC . Truth be told, either way its a ripoff, but they are the ONLY game in town, so we'll have to grin and bear it. |

I was just getting ready to buy 50 S5's. Thanks for raising your price AGAIN BitMain.
I don't think you are the only game in town. Your new pricing is prompting me to look around.

Is ~1.4 BTC the price BitMain is usually charging for miners?
I paid my first miner 1.34 BTC in April and the second one was 1.423 BTC, in May. Each was $340.
I've never seen S5s go over 1.5 BTC.

Where? .. bitmain went up because BTC went up but they did put a little warning on there site that will happen . Fair enough, if BTC goes up, we are used to the raising prices, but why keep their BTC rate at the lower rate thus making the item even more expensive in BTC (than the nominal USD 18 price rise)? At their retained lower rate, Old price was: $360 / 262.8 = BTC 1.377 New price is: $378 / 262.8 = BTC 1.438 At current rate (google) New price should be: $378 / 274.16 = BTC 1.378 Which, at least in BTC, brings it back up to the old price. Hedging against the movements in the dollar is all well and good, perfectly understandable too. Blatantly price gouging buyers using BTC is despicable. |
