I am sorry but I will disagree with you.

Most of manufacturers of bitcoin miners are opportunists and seems that they dont care for the long run, that much.

If I dont yell, if you dont yell and if nobody yells then they wont improve their products .

I demand to get what I deserve as their customer.


But I will not accept to buy a used , dusty hardware equipment which was described as new.

We doesn't have to agree in everything, it's no problem. This is why is this a forum, to share different opinions.

I think you didn't followed mining a long ago as I stated before.

Were you waiting on a preorder? Were you scammed by other companies? I think you didn't.

I was happy to get hardware few days after I ordered, when Bitmain appeared. That's all, and still the case.

I told before, I received plenty of dusty miners, they are doing their job fine 24/7 with no problems. I've started may oldest S1-s when they arrived and didn't cared until this moment. But they were dusty..... But hashing and hashing.....

Sorry I've lied, I've blowed the dust out with my mouth before I've set them up... Smiley

About yelling.

I don't think everybody has to yell hard. Just simply don't buy if you don't like the product. Of course they need feedback about problems as other vendors too. But not as yelling....

if you don't like the price don't buy. If they can't sell the miner the will lower the price. That's all.

I am not trolling anywhere.

I am trying to show facts and help others interested in the best value for money gear.

Until now, Bitmain had fucked it up with S2, everybody knows that.
Also I felt completely disappointed, when I paid 2.8BTC for each S1 and received it overclocked and full of dust.

Was I wrong yelling against Bitmain?


Looks though, that Bitmain is making efforts to resolve all the above issues , either by lowering prices or fixing shipping issues.


As about Bit-tech, they had lower prices and now they deliver used miners and at higher price.
Am I not obliged to inform you??


I am not loyal to any hardware manufacturer.  

I am loyal to the people that are seeking information about the best value for money products.


ps. Thanks for the guide comments. It was not meant to be made to promote Bitmain products, BUT to help the miners to achieve lower costs for their mining.

I see this in different colours....

They not fucked up, they had "have" problems but they are trying to solve them.

I received 2 S2-s with only 3 loosy blades, but i had a lot of problems with the controller.

Bitmain was the only manufacturer who shipped on time a working poduct. Was them dusty? Yes. Who cares? I got the miner, it was working, all fine. I hadn't been scammed, didn't had to preorder, just buy off the shelf.

Information is always welcomed but always spit one when a mistake happens is no good. (It's just my opinion)

I'm usually loyal to my suppliers both in real life and bitcoinworld.

And trust me, loyality always pay off. Why am I saying this? Sorry can't tell....

But cheaper doesn't always the better.

This mentality works for me, try out, maybe it will work for you too.

But you can't expect help if you spit in the eyes meanwhile....

Edit:

I think that batch 1 and 2 was overpriced. I bought only 2 to try it out. I'll buy more when the price will be good.

I don't want to hurt you, but I don't like if somebody goes from vendor to vendor and if a problem occurs just piss there and go back to the other one.

I am curious what is tempting you?

 The price is tempting me, as I previously noted.

 Furthermore, touching on your points about quality control, yes, I have read that the initial batches had some QA issues. I understand these issues have been mostly resolved in batches 2 and 3. This is why I'm taking the plunge with Batch 4 - I have faith they have largely resolved their initial problems.

 The dozen or so S1's I own have been rock solid since I took delivery of them, and further reinforces that faith in Bitmain.

I cant resist, I will buy 2 , NOW!

better get your dumpster ready!


The last S2 pieces been delivered were intact, because of a new foam thing.

Also, there is no lower priced terrahash with 1w/ghs at this moment.

Do your research before posting anything.

I don't undestand you Tzortz.

A few days ago Bit-tech was god, Bitmain shit.

Now Bitmain is good Bit-tech is shit because you received dusty miners. Days before you trolled long Bitmain thread about how ashit are they etc. etc...

I think you doesn't know the meaning "loyality".

I had to tell that.... But at the server psu thread we could make a good discussion.....

buckrogers do you own gridseed or something?  Your assault on bitmain here while licking gridseed's nutsack is pretty transparent.  Do you think people here can't read?

Well, finally picked up one of these in the May 8th batch. The $400 coupon sold me on it... Good price @ $2199

I am actually tempted to order few of these miners now...

I am curious what is tempting you? the horror stories?, the massive amounts of photos members have posted? or the pre-mining that he is doing before you get your broken used up S2? or maybe its the monkeys jumping up and down on your box before they toss it on the plane's conveyor belt? Or maybe you are a risk taker? I mean you must be heavily invested in the stock market ...right?

Just trying to figure out why people would continue to buy this product?....is it the lower price point? because if thats it, then I doubt you will reach an ROI, unless it drops another grand and BTC goes up another 100 points.

But temptation is a killer, so I say go for it and give bitmain your money.  Im sure he will be happy to take it, since he already made that back and more when pre-mining with your 'CHEAPER" unit.

please let us know how it works out for you.

I might be "tempted" to buy a few more Smiley

Like he told someone else to do-  "If your not having fun mining Bitcoin, go ride a bike! It's FREE."

^^^you have to respect that!^^^ great comment.

respect my comment.well thank you, I thought it made perfect sense in its context.

But if you are refering to the idiot who quoted it and saying back to me that i should follow my own advice...i think naught.

If you look at the original context it made sense, for him to rehash a comment made on something totaly unrelated is irrelivant and has nothing to do with this issue.

I do enjoy mining and have been doing it for a long time now probably more than most of the idiots making these stupid remarks, so I have dealt with many companies in my day, and none of them has given me as much grief as bitmain has with this disaster of a unit he is selling to people.

Thats all. nothing more. I will continue to mine....HAPPILY Smiley   my farm will just be 1 piece of shit smaller.

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

Sorry not that good price.
Small delay with no orders and another $500 would go down.
