1300 usd earned till unprofitable.
so it should cost 1000 usd...

where i am wrong?

1. Your power cost is too high. At 20c/kwh you probably shouldn't be mining at all.

2. You are probably underestimating the flattening out of the difficulty growth. That is just my opinion though.

If you tweak those you can make this slightly profitable. Not an amazing deal but okay. If BTC prices go up before these sell out they will be a better deal.

yeah key is btc fiat/diff jump/power cost . a jump to 500-550 a coin makes the machine less then 2100
then a second jump to 600 makes a profit.

I am heading towards summer if I buy this for 2100 . I have to pull a 2 or 3 blades. To keep it cool enough.
My summer power is 18 cents a k watt.

I'd love if they would let me fix their btc->usd Price plugin on their website for an S1.

BFL Josh - Inaba reminded me that "we" do not say enough nice things about our experiences in the forums.

I LOVE my antMiner Products.

I own 12 S1's and an S2 -- ALL run to spec and S2 had minor issues upon arrival due to HOW FAST they ship. 3 DAYS! from China to Mid-west, USA unreal, what a world. BitmainTech does get busy, but their delivery rate and ON TIME performance suggests they are busy working to satisfy ME.. or yews..

BitmainTech is 100% miner friendly,

IMHO.. Wink

KNC is doing the same thing now, they are throwing 2.4 PH of old Jupiter stuff on the market now.

Could be a trend of maximizing old farms.

Manufacturers cost is probably about $500-600 per TH now.

they are becoming victims of their own success . All Big farms will fail in the fall without a fiat rise in BTC.

But S-1's will be small enough and nimble enough to act as heaters. The market in the usa alone is 5 million homes with electrical heat only.

Every one of them can use an s-1. or a pair of s-1's. It is up to us to jump on this and buy the shit out of these.. Lose if there is a full tank by the fall about 75-150 usd a machine. A small downside when compared to an s-2 .

The 1th 2th 3th even 5th machines are not power efficient enough to warrant their price. Buy these.

What's the actual process of applying a coupon to an order? I have four available to me, but I don't ever remember seeing anywhere to enter coupon details at check out.

When you get to checkout you are offered a coupon there - be aware to change the quantity of coupons to match the number of units you are buying - the default is only to apply one coupon. So if you buy three then change the number of applied coupons to three etc...

Great! Thanks for the info. Of course my coupons arrived after I just bought another, so I have to debate when I want to get the next one. Cheesy

I don't think I can get one before the next difficulty change though, so I'll wait until the price drops a little further. Maybe.

You want to get really cheap? Stop buying. For almost week this thread was dead. And then from 0.8btc they droped price to 0.6btc.
If they will see stagnation in this thread and no sale they will drop price so low its gonna be steal.

Well they have to be getting close to the lowest they can go. what do you think it cost to ship one to the usa?

I just paid .554 btc after a coupon . in fiat that was 244 usd. It has to cost them at least 34 usd .

Labor packing box handling

so they net 200. One could argue that this is a very big push against big gear miners.

Most any home owner can have 2 of these. Or 400 gh maxed. at 800 watts.

if you down volt and down clock you can do 4 at 140Gh each maybe 700-800 watts. they are still decent gear if you can find ways to get past the power. no current item does 2x efficient.

the spoon doodle s10 is .7 watts per 1 gh

this is 1.25 watts per gh

the best in the future is the spoon doodle sp30 maybe .4 or .5 watt per gh the long wait for it will mean the extra efficiency is not much.

I wonder how this all plays out if btc slowly sinks to 350 usd and diff goes to 30bill

Dont forget they still mining with that gear. So we not talking about loss of any kind.

yeah I think at the .554 mark they are a good item. many people in the buy btc and hold camp do not understand that same idea can be applied to gear if the price is correct. Lowly asic miner usb stick dropped to as low as 7 usd then jumped up to 60 usd on ebay back in the oct- nov bull run.

I have 2 units coming tomorrow. I ordered 1 today . I have 3 coupons left I may just buy again .

^This.

1 coupon per antminer. I just got 16 of the 0.05BTC ones and am quite pleasantly surprised

just pulled the trigger on 3 more units, almost entirely because the extra ~8% discount puts the unit at a nice price point. At current BTC prices, the unit looks poised to breakeven but bring in ~0.9BTC or more in its lifetime so any increase in USD/BTC would offset the power costs nicely
