alright just got this email from bitmain.. looks like this might be the issues there.. "Dear Bitmain Customer, This morning we received a concerning email from a group of hackers threatening Bitmain and our services with a DDoS attack and demanding a ransom payment to prevent the attack. Bitmain is committed to providing the best service possible to our users, and will not invite future attacks of this sort by giving in to the demands of hackers. The hackers have demonstrated that they do possess the capability to execute a DDoS and that this is not an entirely empty threat, although we do not know the full extent of their capabilities. During the next few days, Bitmaintech.com, AntPool, AntPool.com, and&nbs p;Hashnest.com may experience intermittent outages. Our team is working hard to ensure that the effects of any possible attack will be as minimal as possible. For those customers mining on AntPool, please make sure that you have configured your backup pools properly in the event that you are unable to access AntPool. For HashNest users, mining payouts will continue as usual and there is no need to worry about lost revenue. For sales, if you are unable to access our main website, you may contact us directly at info@bitmaintech.com. Thank you for bearing with us during this time. All the best, Bitmain" Best regards d57heinz |

I see that the AntPool has some problems overnight and half my Lee Group S5s are dead on pools 1 and 2. The other half of my miners are running just fine on the same exact pools. The Lee Group team rebooted the miners that are having pool issues for me as soon as I notified them and it doesn’t fix anything. Does anyone have any tricks that may help with this?
When I was running S5s in my garage, I could usually fix these kinds of problems by switching pools around and several reboots. Once the pools came back to life I could switch the pools back to normal and everything would be golden. Without this capability on my Lee Group miners it is difficult to do anything.
one simple way to avoid such issue is set one f2pool account as your third pool, we never have connection issue with f2pool Cyber attack on Bitmain; who could have guessed that! Fortunately I did have the f2pool as my third pool on 7 of my 11 miners. I had pool3 issues on the other 4 that I had put off for a while but the Lee Group team was able to switch me to f2pool me very quickly on these 4 problem miners once I reported the issue and made the change request. At the time, I didn’t realize there were attacks on the AntPool but I'm good for now. Thanks again to you and your team Lee! |

@philipma1957, you are ready to pay the $419 for the next one? How long is ROI then, taking the hosting fees into account?
I have no idea how I got the Bitmain email. It's scary that they got my email and I don't remember how. I guess I tested a purchase before.

Lee,
Bitmain has apparently dropped the S5 price back down to 369, are you going to adjust your price and if so what is it now?

They removed the "free shipping" and set the price to 369. Great Lee i guess, not really if you are far away from Bitmain. |

Batch five now 369 USD, hallelujah. Thank you hackers, thank you people, thank you everyone. Now let's hear from Lee and get those last 50 sold! EDIT: I can't check on the shipping, account.bitmain.com is down with 502 cloudflare error. I guess hackers might not be happy with the result. But I can see $392.68 + $49.71, on dhgate, for credit card buyers  |

I have no idea how I got the Bitmain email. It's scary that they got my email and I don't remember how. I guess I tested a purchase before.
@ no141 well for me paying the 419 was something I considered as my 3 in house sp20s are going to be sold off. one by one. The buyer for the first one did not contact me so I did not buy one s-5 here for 419. In New Jersey power goes up for the summer and of course the free heat in the winter is not good once it gets warm. So I sell off my winter gear and get more from lee. I did this last year with lee. I have been doing this year. I guess I was lucky that I did not get paid yesterday for the sp20 I would have purchased An s-5 for 419 as it actually is better to sell the sp20 for 450 local and use that to buy the s-5. So If I sell the sp20 off today and use the coins to get the s-5 the 1 day delay means less incoming for the sp20 and less outgoing for the s-5. No loss or gain for me. As I will drop the price on my sale of the sp20 to a local buyer to match the s-5 drop. My gain is a quieter house and less rush to sell when it truly gets close to the June power price jump. @ lee I will send a pm to place an order today. @ lee I sent an order for a s-5 I am assuming you dropped price to follow bitmaintech. also thank you for updating my miners pools. |

They removed the "free shipping" and set the price to 369. Great Lee i guess, not really if you are far away from Bitmain. I don't recall seeing free shipping when the price was $419 - in fact I initially thought that may have been the reason for the price increase, but when I added one to my cart, there was still a shipping charge once I selected my shipping company. Is there a link saying otherwise? |

Well if both of you confirm that it wasn't free at 419$ i might be wrong.
I was sure i tried ups and shipping was still 0.

Does anyone know how the Offline History works? I've had 2 miners down for just over 8 hours now, but the offline history has a total of 8 for the day (when it should be 16...) Is that normal?

Has this been confirmed with him? This would mean that is was only an effective $29 increase over the original $340 cost for the S5+PSU. Not bad if correct....... |
