What about shipping to Australia is there tax involved there?

They only charge custom duties on an item if it is over $1000 or unless it contains Tobacco/Alcohol.

Does the UK still require import tax if the miner is sent from Hong Kong?

As far as I know yes, would really like to know the price first though and whether or not it's worth to get 10 of these imported to the UK. The import tax will be the real killer here. If BITMAIN could shred some light on UK import prices that would be a really proactive thing for a company to do!  Wink

It's frustrating, because I remember when the S1 cost 1.45BTC (when BTC=$800ish), they declared it at a super-low value, so that import charges were around £20. And then after a while, they started to declare at full value, meaning a 0.8BTC S1 (when BTC=$500ish) was costing more like £50-60 in import cost.

I hope they declare this new unit at a low value, as it can really affect ROI's etc!

I beleive the launch price will be between 1.3 - 1.8 BTC each consider the RK-Box is $649 US @ 450gh and just over 1w/gh

At stock, the miner will be 0.77w/gh, and undervolted it will be 0.58w/gh.  So i think Bitmain will factor this, and of course average rise of BTC when calculating ROI pricing.

S2 is @ $1450 ...after the coupon...1TH...

S3 ...Haft of 1TH...half price...= $725...the most... Wink

EDIT...:

About 1.2 -1.25 BTC...and I'll think about it...
A comparison to S2 is irrelevant imho, as S3 comes without a PS or full enclosure.

Actually the smaller hash rate/size is a good decision, as it will be easier to ship, easier to make a 'buy decision' and will come below the customs/VAT/GST threshold in some cases (or at least will make it less painful).  Another consideration is that if you intend to mine and then sell the h/w, it is a lot easier to sell something like S1 or S3 on eBay than a >=1TH 'beast'.

A truly fantastic price would be 0.99 btc shipped, let's see if bitmain can do it

+1...

Of course, they CAN do it...

The problem is "Should they...and why...?"

I could see 1.3 maybe but no way 1.8.  Something about BITMAIN is they like to absolutely CRUSH the competition when it come to $/GH.

I really think were looking at 1 - 1.2btc

BitMain has never "crushed" the competition based solely on price. They've often had the best pricing per GHs but they aren't stupid enough to undercut everyone by a large margin when they don't have too.

They want to keep their profit margins as high as they possibly can. And when someone gets close to their price or undercuts them, they will reduce their price... but only when necessary. Expect pricing just slightly below Rbox or you will be very disappointed.

If there is an upgrade kit for S1 and S2 that would be amazing Smiley
yes, we are planing to do it.

Kia ora!
...when miners swarm it like Stannis Baratheon's forces riding into the trees north of the wall, to get their next buy-a-miner fix.

That fag couldn't conquer a mall full of teenagers.
Only a fool would think he is the one true king.

All kings including the wannabes are fools, it takes stupidity to piss your life away trying to be one when you can piss your life away staring at your miner mining BTC without all that back stabbing horseshit.  Grin

All the same, we do not kneel

With you on that one....

No wifi capability on S2 or S3?

S1 still master race

You can always get yourself a wireless bridge and a switch.

I'm sitting this out.  I have a feeling the pricing is going to be stupid high.
