Recent Antminer S5 prices

I wonder if the first batch of #5 will start shipping this coming week? Bitmain has made it clear when he posts he mentions that he usually ships prior to their "shipping date". I wonder if that was a ruse for a good sales pitch or has some truth in it? I guess we will see. It would be nice to get a surprise at the door this week.

they usually under promise and deliver....... unlike sp tech

Yes Bitmain was the first ASIC Manufacture to start to ship EALIER than promised and continue to do so!

Anyone have any coupons left?

Although we'll probably be seeing them flood the forum and ebay for cheap prices and not have to worry about customs/shipping form out of the country.

just let them play out. not worth chasing them right now.  question what is your th up to?

It seems to be a little different on coupons then it was.   It could not be to many batches ago they gave them out like candy.   It's been a while since Ive seen much about coupons on current batches.

I think the people who paid more on this batch got coupons, but since they did pay a higher price to get them they will chances are want paid for their coupons.

Because mining is getting less and less profitable.

yes and most likely no one will want to pay much.  50 cents on the dollar is pretty much quite a bit.  Some one mentioned that wanted that on a 54 dollar coupon.  They had turned down a 0.1 btc offer  which was around 27 bucks at the time

I told them it was more then I would pay.  I was willing to pay 20> I also told them they would be wise to take the 0.1 btc offered to them.

The s-5 is getting long in the tooth. Margins are freakin tight.  I do understand that they feel screwed by bitmaintech.

I am getting tired of playing the game myself.

As far as buying if we know the coupon date it expires the better chance of getting a better deal.   Until it gets close to ending on coupons a lot will want more then most will pay chances are.

S5 is a really nice miner but loud and need some modification to be fully home miner.

I will buy every S5 for 200$  

Wondering when the next gen come. Cant wait to see the spec

1 week? Are you sure ? There is a long thread on the speculaton fo the S6 and still nothing.

They probably want to clear all there S5 remaining before publishing the S6

Also BTC is pretty low atm.  I think a week is sooner then it will be.  Is there really going to be a "S4+"? Would they not do a S6 instead?

[bronan]

I do not think any miner can be profitable with the constant low price of bitcoin.
Even doing altcoins will not solve anything because you allways have to covert them to btc (trading costs which are extra losses) 
For me the time has come to stop mining at all, energy prices are way too high in the netherlands (0.29 euro cent kWh)without company prices.
And ofcourse the import costs which are 21% taxes + import duties, so for me its no use to get any hardware.
I do not have time to trade or hashle with trade bots, so end of story pretty soon for me.

i heard about a s6, was just a vaporware i guess

there is also an entire thread talking about it

they need to lower the nm productivity process for the next device, for this reason i don't think 1 week is enough

I'd think it would follow Bitmains scheme.

s1 home miner
s2 industrial s1
s3 home miner upgraded
s4 industrial s3
s5 home miner upgraded
s6?
probably industrial s5

Would you like to put BTC on it?

April 1st by the latest for S4+ June 1 for S7 .. No S6 to be released .5BTC on it to anyone willing to accept the bet.

To be More Specific:

In about two weeks they will be releasing an upgraded version of the S4, called the S4+, which has the same size/design specs as the original S4 but uses the newer generation of chips, for a higher hashrate and better power efficiency. They will actually skip the S6 model number, and the new S7 model should be available in June or July of this year. Hope this helps.... Give me my Money

Should we move back to the S5 thread? Seems like we're discussing the same topic spread across 2 threads now.

The reason why they hike the prices is because they are a monopoly. They are the only manufacteurer currently selling and they can sell at any price they wish.

Absolutely untrue. Avalon is still selling... https://ehash.com
