price is still to high  Huh

+1

S1s are now about $200 a pop. For those who are math challenged, that's $1200/TH unpowered or $1560/TH stock with ATX golds. Shocked

This be the S2 thread.

...and the price is still too high

Edgar today S1 price $224.12  for one AntMiner S1 is by far the best priced miner in the market.

Problem is not hardware price my opinion is BTC is to low now.

I appreciate what you're saying but the BTC price is down to all of the mminers desire to buy/sell (including the HUGE data centre miners)

whereas the price of the S2 is solely down to Bitmain.

I agree the S1 is at a reasonable price but the power consumption is just too damn high - i cant justify using 5-6 x 400w (plus PSUs) to get the equivalent hash power i can get from a single 1000w S2 (which comes with a PSU)

but yes, those BTC dumping douches are not helping wrt the price of BTC either but we cant lobby them all into 'hodling'

whereas we probably can get bitmain to sort the S2 price out - though im sure he has a long term strategy to milk them(us) for all their worth, incrementally.


Yes milk.   As manufacturer they have alot of room to play chess with the other players.  But noone want to go to low.

They are going to have to change their refund policy on these. What's to stop someone from buying one and bringing it back in 30 days for a full refund?

Just for a comparison.......Microcenters, an electronics retailer announced today they are selling mining equipment. Right now they have Gridseeds and Antminer S1. They have the S1 priced at $400.00, (gulp).....

Holy crap, would you look at that:

Bitmain!!

I have received a very smashed up Batch 3 S2 unit from you! I have sent you an email with the details but no response yet. Please look into this ASAP, I expect a very swift response as I'm a customer who has bought 30 S1's and 2 S2's from you! It was purchased from the username "B4rtab".

I expected you to resolve this issue after Batch 1&2!!!

I pulled the image of the SD card after the corruption. I took the card and used win32diskimager to pull the image. When I looked for files on the card, I didn't see any.

Here's the image:

I do believe that your card was corrupted; I just mentioned this because I had gotten the blue screen originally and formatted and re-imaged the card without paying attention to the files on it, so I'm not sure if it was corrupted in the first place. I just wanted to let people know that the blue screen doesn't necessarily mean the card is corrupted, it might not be and it's worth checking first.

Thanks again for all of your original input, it was really helpful  Cool

9 hrs after initial shutdown - miner begins beeping... 10 other rigs are not affected

powered down, powered up. IP is ok but 0GH & 61°C

tried connecting to gui - nope

powered down, removed sd card, powered up - blue screen

powered down, reinserted sd, powered up - mining...

wtballs?

I had the same thing happen the other day, it seems one only needs to eject and reinsert the sd card and it'll boot. I've not needed to re-image a card since (I'm wondering if re-imaging was even necessary in the first place)...

I had a plug trip last night and was faced with the S2 "blue screen of death" after restarting. I just ejected the SD card and pushed it back in and it booted up no problem after that, no need for re-imaging  Huh

I have been mining and selling miners and bitcoin stuff for about a year, but I am new to posting on forums. I typically just read the forums for information and such. This would be a first for posting on here. I know first hand that there are scammers out there, and can understand the skepticism. I don't think we sound "fishy" but that's only a matter of opinion.

Long story short, I don't think it should matter that we are authorized resellers or not. We sell Bitmain products that come direct from bitmain. We accept credit/debit, if you don't believe us, pay with card.(directed towards s1lverbox) Your protected by your bank if we don't fulfill. Simple as that. Even better, I am sure you can risk 0.08 BTC to buy some U2 miners. We are here to stay so you might as well relax, sit back, and mine some BTC

If you so legit why you using bitmain in his thread to advertise yourselve as reseller for him?
If any of your claims would be so legit, probably bitmain would confirm that, right? But actually nothing happened apart of naming 3 reliable sources which we all knew-they are there.

I ask for proof for your pallet a day of s1. nothing was received.
Your statements are fishy, starting with website apparently bought by bitmain and store being setup specially for you by them.Claims about being in mining business over a year but no proof of any of this. Apparently you was selling miners on other site and amazon, please provide proof any of this.

Last but not least, your bold statements not backed up by anyone, not even one customer. You are in business for a year but never on forum like this?
Trust me if you or any other business appear in BTC world there is big chance someone would mention this in this forum.

Most of company's factories, manufactures, resellers started to advertise their business on this forum. Because this way they could:

-have shit loads new customers
-free targeted viewers
-free advertisement

At this moment you made statements which was picked up by me and checked. Nothing ad up so i will assume you are here to scam.
And trust me, people on daily basis scamming others with fancy websites, great gear for good price, don't matter how legit you think you are i still will advice anyone to stay away untill you can make things right.
 
Once again, please provide me Tx or your wallet so i can trace that pallet of miners a day.

out of curiosity - was power cycling necessary?

i read that some miners were removing the card prior to shutting down as a preventative measure but not tried myself as i cant quite squeeze my hooves in between the control board & the nearest blade...

... and not wanting to pull blade/s out with power on.
im kindof assuming ppl doing that already had blade/s removed due to PSU concerns??
I have done it a few different ways and they all seem to work:
  • The first time I got the blue screen of death, I put in a new sd card with a fresh image and that worked fine. I needed to power down and remove a board to get the card swapped out.
  • After that I was ejecting the sd card before powering down, to avoid the bsod. I have long, skinny fingers, so I can get one in there to eject the card with the machine still running and all boards in. I'd just push it back in and power on an it worked
  • Since then I've had a power cut and when it came back on it had a blue screen again. I just powered off, ejected the card, pushed it back in and powered back on again and it booted fine

Sine the last time it happened, I'd powered it down and ejected and re-inserted the card; I guess it might work for you if you power down, remove a board and eject the card, re-insert it and put the board back in and power up again... it's worth a try as it'll be quicker than re-imaging a card.

Interestingly, if you eject the sd card while the miner is on, it'll stop hashing, it seems like it's running something from the sd card

I just hope Bitmain will investigate this matter because having the miner not restart automatically after a power cut or similar, could be quite a hassle for those with multiple machines or have them hosted off-site...

Juan doesn't sell U2's and it seems that it does not matter who's website you visit, there is virtually NO info about shipping and handling from the home page. I don't want to go through putting something in a cart and checking out, just to see what shipping will or won't be added! Just be up front about it! How hard is it to add a paragraph somewhere about shipping?

I have Bitmain U2's, S1's, and S2's in stock, and I have a flat rate $7.97 shipping charge per order. And right now you can save 5% off my entire inventory with coupon code "GrandOpening". I accept Paypal, Credit Cards and BTC for payments. All products in stock, same day US based shipping up until 2pm est.

We don't have U2s not sure if we will have in the future anyway we can only sell it in the 500 box. If you need 500 let me know to see if I can found a box for you.

Minersource or minerstore wtf

MinerStore is the company I was talking about sorry.

MinerSource is a well know web store of mining equipment and distributors of different companies as Black Arrow and others.

And I can say doing business with Juan is just as good if not better than Bitmain directly.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion I made
