00120140119121035453BIChtc4L0678.I have got all of my miners,but order status is unshipped.

I have a question: when I can get new coupon!

Thanks to Bitmain.

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

3 orders (2014-01-19 21:05:45,   2014-01-19 19:51:42,   2014-01-19 15:35:07) have no shipping cponfirmation yet. Im hoping bitmain has them in the mail and just hasnt yet passed on the tracking info (in the past, i often got the info 12hrs after the boxes were received by UPS, if not already out of the country)

crossing my fingers they come this week, but without a tracking number soon I just dont know

For those asking about tracking numbers... MyUPS tells me that mine are coming in on Thursday(U.S. West coast),  and were shipped t 01/21/2014    10:41 P.M.  My status still says unshipped on Bitmain's website.  Hope that helps you plan.

Bitmain-

It seems as you are either the manufacturer or a direct representative of the manufacturer. I've recently purchased an S1 through Sushi in one of his group buys, specifically, Group Buy 6. I paid BTC3 for my unit. Afterwards, the price dropped a few times. If I remember correctly, the price was BTC2.6, then BTC2.2, and now it is at BTC1.9. It looks like certain purchasers were given coupons or credits or discount codes. I was not one of them, even though there was a price drop quite soon after I ordered my unit. I consider myself to be a reasonable person, and I asked Sushi about what sort of deal he could work out for a previous buyer. I asked for a discount or for upgraded shipping, something with enough value to put my next purchase on par with what other members were able to purchase these units for. Sushi politely declined. I considered purchasing from Greaterninja, but his price for the same exact product is higher, and there were no talks of coupons or discounts in his thread.

I have BTC in hand and I would like to purchase another unit, but I feel that I cannot do so without some clarification. There's a few things that I'd like to know about.

First, I am very confused by who you have officially selling your product. I see that you have Sushi, Greaterninja, I saw someone who is doing group buys out of Korea... As far as I can tell, the three official distribution channels are yourself, Sushi, and Greaterninja. Is this the case?

Second, why does it seem like there is a price discrepancy between sellers? Do different sellers get better deals? Are there discounts passed to different distributors that aren't passed to others? When I see that one seller has credits and another has coupons for the same product, it raises a red flag in my mind.

Third, how do these discounts, if any, get passed out to members? Is it up to the organizer of the group buy? Because it seems as though the earlier group buy members got written off, and the more recent purchasers got compensated for sharp price decreases. I understand that there could have been no price adjustment at all. Quite honestly, I feel like this may have been a fairer way of doing business. I don't take issue with the fact that coupons or credits or codes were handed out. I take issue with the fact that it was done so in what seems to me like a completely subjective fashion. This is something that I take great issue with because it leads me to believe that the company either has no loyalty to its customers, or only loyalties to certain customers.

Please understand that I am very impressed with your product, and, aside from delays in receiving shipping information which seems to be par for the course, I have never had an unpleasant interaction with anyone regarding the purchase of my hardware. The responses may not have been the most timely or what I wanted to hear, but it has always been very professional. If I didn't have a good experience, I wouldn't be posting this and I would just find somewhere else to spend my money. I would just like to settle some of the confusion I have about your group buy policies and discounts before I make my next purchase.

I look forward to your replies.

Bitmain,

I know you must be busy, but if you have a chance would you please confirm if my order has shipped?

Order ID: 00120140119191140619fr0KhfDg06BF, payment shows confirmed since 1-19-2014.

Would you also post some information about the shipping timeline, I think it would address a lot of folks questions and concerns about shipping before CNY.  Many of us are concerned that our Antminers will not make it out of China before CNY and will suffer substancial delays.

Thank you.

Guys,

I know I should have taken note when I first saw it, now I cant find it. Someone had put down the details of the original fan on amazon?

Can anyone remember where that post was?

Thanks

I ordered on the 19th and tracking shows it went out yesterday, I was notified today. Bitmain is the man! (No offence if your a woman )

@Bitmain-

I have followed the thread about tracking info on website may not be latest on shipment/tracking information:

Order number #00120140120151156257gb45H9HL0633.

Whenever you get time could you maybe check on my order?

Thank you

When did you order ?

Status changed to shipped on both my orders, thanks Bitmain! Cant wait to get my new Ants, would likely buy some more if a coupon showed up in my account

I also noticed that these actually shipped out yesterday and are scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Don't fret guys your ants will be mining for you shortly

 

That is what I was thinking, but having never done it, I'm not sure. So I had to ask.

I think it's as they said: they are not getting the tracking numbers in order, and they are probably having to manually match it. The order that i got confirmed is the last order I made, which was from 2AM today (EST), and I still have no status on my Jan 19th order, which I placed pretty early in the morning.

I now when you click system
Then backup/flash firmware
Generate achieve under download backup
You can create a full archive tar file
Inside there is the asic file inside etc/config
I wonder if you use a text editor on that, and change to 400 instead of 350
And upload that backup back to the miner
Wouldn't that be the same as editing the asic file with winscp?

Its 10am in China right now, hopefully we will have an update soon!

Still no shipping info. I find it hard to believe that others can have shipping info even though I purchased right at the start of the GB.



What kind of shipping company gives out tracking numbers in such a random way.


Chinese fire drill.

Which one is true ?
I need to prepare power supply before miner arrive.
So it can mine immediatly when arrive.

They still have the screw terminals, but bitmain listened to feedback from customers after the 1st or 2nd group buy and added the pci-e connectors as well.

So... is that a no?

Hey I'm just trying to make my life easier :-)



EDIT: I didn't wanna double post; Looks like I got shipping info on one of my orders! :-) Should have it end of day Thursday :-D

wait what?  I thought these had screw terminals for power?  I recall someone posting pics.
