12 here..  that is a buy 11 get one free...  plus a grand for PSU's...  thinking...

Bath 3 was only for moment. If they didnt sold out they got more s2 to ship on b4 and plain and simple.

i am also quite surprised batch 3 sold out....It will probably ship on the 8th and arrive 3 or so days later...I wonder what 1th will mine by that date per day..

s1lverbox's theory could also be an explanation why

I dont think b3 sold out. Its trick to make you believe this kit is so COOL and everyone want it.
Look in the thread, no one saying anything about purchase.

While before thread was full of new buyers.

They building tension between buyers and product.

Exactly 

Batch 4 is 5 btc with the coupon (though I don't seem to have the right coupon in my account). A month later is definitely not good. Should be more than 10% cheaper.


Not at this price?

I paid 5.632btc for batch 2 and batch 4 is 5.842btc, so it costs more in btc and is delivered a month later...

Edit: I'm not really considering vouchers, there will be a bunch of first time buyers too.

Same with mine..... only have a 100 . Will we end up with 2 coupons, one for 100 and one for 400, and will we be able to use them both together... ?

Why does my account only show $100 off coupon, not $400?

What? I paid 5.5 for batch 2 and that was about the minimum, most paid more. Batch 3 looks like to be right around 5 with the coupon.

Worse deal given the difficulty increases though.

Batch4 btc price is higher than Batch2... ouch!

with coupon old costumers have to pay 5 btc for 1 Tera/hash. with 15% of difficulty jumps, profit is 1-1.5 Btc MAX

Awesome!  Can't wait to see a $400 voucher in my account!

I had the same and found that the card that wasn't registering was missing one of the tiny resistors ("0") closest to the pci connection on the board. I replaced the resistor with some pencil and some silver conductive paint and it's working fine for a week now.

AFAIK all images must be hosted off-site on something like imgur or imageshack. Then you imbed the image in your post using the img and /img bbcodes (put square brackets around them).

anybody know about demon pool just got a random invite

if your using windows (or a mac) a great little program is Duck Link Screen Capture http://www.ducklink.com/

it just sits next to your clock on the windows task bar and when you roll over it gives you the screen capture options, it can do rolling screen shots, selected area etc. etc. and once captured you have the easy link to save the file of copy to the clipboard

I use it all the time much more versatile than Print Screen

really? My S2 batch 2 S2 may as well have come flat packed with all the cards fallen over with bent pci slots as it was. I have since fixed all this, plus replaced all the fans (one fan was broken and couldn't get a matching one), all fans are now running a nice constant speed and are powered by a bitspower x-station fan control unit running off the factory power supply, i would have replaced the factory supply with something a bit bigger but one of the pins on my mainboard was badly damaged and the only pci-e 6 pin cable i can get to fit is the enermax one that came out of it. So i'm stuck with the underpowered power supply, which for the first few days kept turning itself off, the orientation of the psu is all wrong, the intake just sucks in warm air from the asic boards causing the psu to overheat, so have rotated the psu and cut a nice hold in the side of the case and added a fan grill and dust filter and it has not had power problems since. I had a problem with the sdcard corrupting itself and had to steal the sdcard out of my partners phone to fix it at 2am still haven't replaced her music (sorry bub) now i keep a copy of the sdcard should it have problems again. thinking of making a hatch in the top of the unit so i can pop the sdcard out if i ever need to power down the unit as this would avoid corruption it seems and also wouldn't have to take the case off, maybe a hinged steel lid. The device reports an average hash rate of 1008GH/s but the pool speed actually reports between 800-900 overall not really impressed. I could have had a coincraft unit for less and had less problems. My next unit is a Spondoolies SP30 Sorry Bitmain i had such high hopes for the S2, but 10+ days late and broken has left me less than impressed
