HAve you emailed them? They usually reply promptly
Depending on price I would want maybe 2-3 of these units / Ohio USA
I'd probably get 1 or 2 to test out if the price is right. I'm a wiser buyer nowadays.
Sounds good, got you added.
Thanks.
I just noticed the power spec in the OP:
"Power Consumption: 390 W on wall
Power Supply: 4 +12V DC input, PCI-e connectors"
I have a bunch of Corsair CX500s that powered BFLs, Cubes and S1s and never complained (they barely get warm). The S1 pretty much draws about the same as an S3 at the wall so one CX500 should be sufficient for one S3 (about 74% load on the single 12V rail at around 86% efficiency). However, most 500W PSUs including the CX500 only comes with 2 PCIe connectors. Since the S3 requires 4 PCIe connectors, would it be kosher then to use 2 500W PSUs? What would happen if one PSU breaks down in this type of setup? I hope Bitmain changes this spec in the final version though as it doesn't make sense at all and only serves to provide more cable clutter. Two PCIe connectors should be sufficient for the S3.
You could also buy some molex to pcie. So you could get 4 pcie on a 500W but I would suggest you to power this with a 600w min just in case.
What discount will have?

I'd also be in for 1-2, most likely. Thanks for taking the lead on this, waldohoover.
Interested in 1. Also, in the price-conscious category.

i will take 2
Ill take 1!!
If the price is 1 BTC or less, I'm in for 1. If the price with incentives for existing customers or any other early-adopter promotion brings the price below 0.8 BTC I'm in for 4 or more!
Please Bitmain price this at or below the break-even point!

Im in for 1 UK
To thread initiator:
I speculate that the price is 0.85BTC as I mentioned on the main thread.
I suggest that you either remove the info on suggested price or give it a larger bracket, for fairness sake.

Not going to just change my average speculation rate based on what you may think it is, sorry.
Your average speculation values are largely that, speculation. And poor speculation. You shouldn't have those values there. It's counterproductive.
If S1 units were 0.4 BTC, and hashed at 200 gH/s, and these hash at 500 gH/s then the price should be NO MORE than 1 BTC. However, the difficulty has gone up, and the fact they're more energy efficient does not make all that of a difference (considering the difficulty jump). If these miners are any more than 1 BTC, I suggest no one buys them.
I repeat:
Please stay on topic here, this is not a speculation thread.
Then remove your speculation values.
edit: you removed them. thanks

Exactly. If you (thread initiator) made a thread to gauge interest, why post some [possibly incorrect] prices?
This is distracting.

waldohoover - if you do end up reselling, will you accept payment other than in bitcoin? Paypal/cc?

then simply say: my guesstimate or my speculation...because it is based on what?
i bought some BTC today specifically for S2/S3 order, but I will simply hold it if price is near anything of what you say.
I've got S1 in early to mid march and my ROI per each unit in BTC is ~20% with almost uninterrupted service (minus 4 days vacation) plus cash (~$250 EBAY after fees, minus $115 for electricity, minus $50-60 power supply=$75-80 remainder).
I don't count any work that I put into it.
These are meager returns.
If price is high, i wont do mining at all (at least not with s3).
Put me down for one!!
