Topic: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.414 BTC for 180GH/s - page 249. (Read 346284 times)

Quoting Bitmain, from Jan. 13:

"Hi all, we have sold out the testing batch. All the bought miners will be shipped no later than Wednesday, most likely Tuesday.

Now we only reserved some of the S1 only for testing antminer's mining pool. More Ants are being produced.

Thanks for your support, and we will open sales for another batch of miners in about 2~3 days, which will be shipped in 3~4 days from now. "

Definately - I think we need to all indicate to Bitmain that is NOT acceptable

Guys, should be looking at the brightside of things.... Who cares if these are "used", so what, he made a killing off them before we did... all ASIC manufacturers do this.
these were never advertised as new, just in stock and ready to ship.
Should be grateful that we got a good price on them and that they work.

only one is needed for bitmaintech

6 confirmations are required for most companies to consider the amount paid.

I hand 9 ant miners and they all have the same info in them
It's not a issue

 Respectfully, what alternative method do you recommend they use to test their products ?

 It makes perfect sense to me, and I don't see what the problem is.

Please see the PM.

Well I would imagine that they have their own pool.  Whether it's live-net, or test-net-in-a-box.  Seems pretty straight forward to me.  They are also the default field values in the firmware.  If you use the reset button these fields automatically go back to the antminer values.  So even if the machine had never been switched on and connected to a mining pool/network you would still see those values there.

This doesn't make sense to me.  How do you explain that the AntMiner S1's I received were prefilled with Bitmain's own pool addresses on all 3 fields? 

For those who missed the explanation on the dust,

Looks like that Ant has been "tested" for more than 5 days!!

Miners landed in Cologne

Come on Bitmain,  

I received a Dead on Arrival (DOA) unit.  I relocated the controller board to the other blade and managed to get one of the blade working now.  I need a replacement/RMA for the other dead blade.  When I took off the fan and realized that i received an old, used, dust filled Antminer S1 worst than my vacuum cleaner.  I have sent you an e-mail and I see that you forwarded my e-mail to Sushi for support but so far I received no replay back.   I am losing mining time here.  Please help.  

When I order, your website did not mention anything about  "old, used, or previously owned" miners, it never did say new either.  Guess it's live and learn on my part.  

Here are some photos showing that's it's filled with dust.

Cny ends 15th of february

Bitmain website says "SOLD OUT" if you look now, so no more until after CNY now I think.
CNY is for a couple of weeks, so start again sometime in February - it has been posted here previously the actual date.

yeah, finally moving, left the Emirates!
at least they have pre-cleared customs while stuck so hopefully no more hickups

As plane is flying and there is no more issue, this list is only to help BITMAIN how many people was affected.
Please do not count for anything from BITMAIN as originally issue wasn't his fault.
I think that IF he will issue coupons to affected people we should treat that as BONUS and not as "reimbursement".
 
BITMAIN thanks for hard work and once new sale will start i will make another order.

Hi Bitmain,
Are the S1-s still available to order/purchase? Asking cause of the chinese NY. And if not when are they again.
Thx in advance
