I have 6 S1 0.05BTC coupons to give away to anyone who needs to buy an S1

Please don't ask for them if you are just going to sell them on, I could do that mysefl and I'll just have to hunt you down and attack you with a rusty spoon. Shocked

So for genuine buyers please PM me with your Bitmain address, limit of 2 coupons per requestor.

Only two left

All gone.

I have 6 s1 coupons, and 4 s2 coupons available if anyone is interested. I would like to get a little something something for the s2 coupons, the s1s, well it would be nice to get something for those but i would rather give them to someone who wants them as i have zero plans on using those. Hit me up .05 on the s1 coupons

0.431 according to their site

So they dropped again and they get a fiat gain with that drop. .431 x 497 usd = 214

I paid .439 two days ago but .439 x 445 usd = 195

At this pace they can keep selling them. It would be nice to see a long slow rally .

Say:
520 by June 1
620 by July 1
720 by Aug 1

I wonder if they drop price today. with btc usd fiat moving close to 500 usd a coin they could drop price in btc and still gain in fiat.

I just purchased a new antminer from bitmaintech and am having some issues with the s1 miner. About 1/3 of its work is getting rejected. I am not sure what would be causing it.

Where you pointed the miners?

i'd like to bring ya'lls attention to something else here...
we have gone from 130nm to 60 to 55 to 40 to 28 in how much time? just a year?

next up is 22 nm which is already in the works. what's after that?

what size are the big gorillas on (and not even ASICs) here's some idea: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-cpu-processor-5nm,17578.html
why care about where big boys are? well, they tend to have an effect on what foundries are available for a specific nm size!!!

so by the end of this yr, Bitcoin ASICs may actually drive the nm size further down, and not the usual suspects (Intel, AMD)!??

I will make a bold prediction here that Bitcoin will begin (maybe accelerate is more appropriate of a word) anothor revolution wrt ICs and new technologies to base mining as well as other chips on...

damn these are exciting times we live in

I will not call that a bold statement. pretty logical point of view it seems.

i bought an ant miner a couple months ago from sushi should i have received a coupon?, does anyone know what s1,s cost a day to run at 11.27 kWh?
I am thinking between buying a rack of s1's or just one of the newer ones if the power is too expensive

The formula is simple:

(power use watts) x (hours) x rate (.1127 / 1000)

example:

s1:
370 watts x 24 hours x .1127 / 1000 = $1.000 day

s2:
1100 watts x 24 hours x .1127 / 1000 = $2.975 day

I was assuming $35-40 shipping after volume discounts, and maybe $35-40 recycle value.

If shipping is close to $50 and parts recycle value is around $40, then they wont sell under $100 as they can just recycle the parts and not deal with the shipping.

While we are on that topic how do you think the asic miner farms and bit fury farms will expedite the older inventory as newer and more efficient chips come online.

Shipping with DHL/UPS is quite expensive, i don't expect that they are currently paying below 50-60$ per shipped S1.

why care about where big boys are? well, they tend to have an effect on what foundries are available for a specific nm size!!!

20 nm this year, 16nm next year (most TSMC customers are skipping 20nm since 16nm goes into production this year) and then it will take until 2016 at least before next shrink. If by magic Intel opens up their fabs to anyone with enough cash we could see 14nm during 2015 (not gonna happen unless Intel runs into cash/capacity utilization concerns). Intel alone spends more per year than the entire BTC network is worth on r&d (over 10b 2013) , a substantial part of that is directed towards fab tech. The costs of r&d and fab costs has risen exponentially for each new node and there is a good reason very few companies has their own fabs these days (and even fewer of them are on the bleeding edge).

Until the day btc mining becomes a multi billion dollar industry it will have little effect on the rest of the tech industry. The days of rapid improvements are over and soon we'll be stuck with the same 24~ month cycles as the rest of the industry. Sure there most likely are design optimizations that can be done, the question is who is going to fund a new chips designs on a bleeding edge process for (relative) small gains in a already saturated market.

rograz is 100% on the money. The semiconductor industry is massive shipping millions upon millions of chips of all different geometries, the BTC ASIC part of it is a small sideshow with relative low volume and only small players involved. See this news link of Altera chips on Intel 14nm process for bleeding edge semiconductor fabrication http://newsroom.altera.com/press-releases/nr-14nm-device.htm

All of the above +10. The fact that some of the chips (KNC?) were fabricated on 6" silicon lines, which are the back waters of the chip fab world, re-enforces the above. I would only add that if Intel decides to open up their fabs to outsiders, any crypto chip folks would get squashed in the stampede to get in line. A cheaper way forward in the crypto chip world might be some sort of low NRE 3D chip packaging trick.

Sometimes I wonder if there is the beyond asic tech just around the corner.
I can see seasonal mining catching on. s-1's could be a nice nov to april piece of gear.

My last three are due on thur-fri. I may just keep them in a box for now. use them in the fall. but then again coins are drifting up. I would love to see an extended slow rally beyond the 2k a coin. go up 100 usd a week for 16 weeks would be very nice.
