Topic: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382 - page 76. (Read 143992 times)
If they are working the price to match the difficulty, then they would probably be waiting for the next difficulty to roll over in about 30 minutes.
Been keeping me up late at night waiting for it to be launched. Thought it would be yesterday
Looks like they usually do their forum replies and updates anytime from now up until 10 hours from now, then not so much outside of that timeframe.
Well, more than one week has passed now, where is the announcement?
We planned to open sales for AntMiner S3 today. But we have to say sorry here, as we still need one week time to make a promise, which is 100% sure to be fulfilled.
Thanks for your support and waiting, and we will make one new product that is stable, reliable and high ROI to the Bitcoin community.

If I had to guess it will be another 12 hours before we hear anything. Right after the diff jump. I am still refreshing the page every 20 minutes as well as the site to see if anything is listed.

And biding time.....
a whole lot of speculation.....
so 45 pages already in here and still no signs of S3?! 
.......and we will make one new product that is stable, reliable and high ROI to the Bitcoin community.......
What does 'High ROI' look like, in an environment of sky rocketing difficulty?
Bitmains price for the first batch will likely be unreasonably over priced compared to the second batch that will likely ship one or two weeks after.
It was the same with the S2, which was cheaper after two weeks than the bitcoins you could have mined with the first one during that time period.
To get a fair deal one should probably wait until mass shipment.

So now we have our top bracket. Antminer S3's cap is below btc 1.1 .
Earlier the bottom was >0.8 or >$480. BTC around $600 and a perfect atmosphere
for BitMainTech to release the miner just after the difficulty adjustment in a day.
If they are converting BTC to fiat immediately just after difficulty readjustment time is best to get maximum btc exchange rate.
Inshort we can expect the release of S3 in 48hrs.

They still have some S2 to sell. Despatch Tuesday.
I predict the Bitmain website will crash within 2 mins of the S3 announcement.
Monday looks a good target.
Price between 0.97 and 1.1 BTc for S3 despatching late Wednesday onwards.
BTc price was starting to rise earlier today.
i want to know S3 price come onnn
+1...
BTW...Surprise...:
GAWMiners is selling 1.1TH based on A1 chips for $1399...
http://www.gawminers.com/products/bitcoin-sha-256/1-1-th-s-gridseed-a1-asic-bitcoin-miner/
So...there is NO way S3 to be priced more than $700... 1.15 to 1.19 BTC MAX...
ZiG
Next diff jump would force price even lower...like 25% less... $550 or so...
They are not a competitor for Antminer S3. Look at that Gridseed A1 ASIC device specifications.
Its Normal Hashrate is 1100 GH/s and Power Consumption is 1300W.
Which means its consuming 1.18J/GH device where Antminer S3 will only consume 0.77/GH.
Inshort its 53% less efficient than S3. So the Gridseed A1 will become worthless much before S3.
Regarding cost of the device, Gridseed A1 includes a PSU but S3 doesn't. Shipping will be free for S3 too.
If, we assume the A1 psu costs around $350 the price of device to compare with S3 is $480.
Then, if we need to factor in the J/GH, that a difficult task. IMHO the S3 price will not be below $480 as of now.

you can bet your bottom bitcoin that the S3 will be more than this.............
