and it is not worth the coin.

i used 2 separate sets of 14AWG wire to connect the 2 PSUs together for current share.  the current share pin to pin i used a cable that i pulled from an old Dell machine that has about 10 connectors on it (i just cut the actual connector so that it would only have 1 wire/connection on it to make it easier to connect and deal with).

you right if you compare biggest jumps. but history shows that 20% in real life is not that bad as later jumps are always smaller than predicted.

i also hear people complaining about them not honoring the coupons they give to customers.

25% out of the biggest difficulty yet is something From what i see on BitcoinWisdom it seems that we haven't reached or passed over 60k TH/s so the next difficulty jump after this one might be a very small one. Time will tell.

i think no more than 25% which is not that huge.
there are still units which are not delivered yet, real diff jump will happen next 3 weeks time. this will be painfull

Did it hash at the advertised rate, or was it DOA?

I am sorry for my aggressive reply, but thought yours was ironic to my previous post.

Anyway, I am thinking of buying also the in stock Dragons, as pcfli sells now for $2750 for a single unit or $2700 for 3 to 5 units as an alternative.

I am not sure if I could wait for the $2200 of Bittech's next week.  
Difficulty will change next week and looks like it will be huge.

Equals to retarded buyers.

Yes, you're missing "customer demand" in your equation. As long as enough people are willing to pay way more than something is worth, they will continue to sell it at a higher price.

Sent me a used antminer S1. Manufacturer date was 1/14. Order date was 3/14. Fan and heat fins were dirty and covered with dust. The antminer had been used from the time of production to the sale date. The heat fins were also physically damaged. Both blades were not soldered properly and were separating from the base. I have included pics so you can see for yourself. I contacted Juan from 112bit and he was not helpful at all. He told me i am not the manufacturer contact bitmain. He no longer responds to my emails. If you have any problems he will brush you off and say im just a distributor i cant help you contact the manufacturer. Do not buy from 112bit or bitmain. 112bit is just a middle man and can't do anything but take your money. Bitmain is a chinese manufacturer. They have low standards for quality. They will not accept any responsibility for anything. All of the financial burden is on the buyer. They do not care about their customers. All they care about is mass production and sales. This has been an ongoing issue. I have returned the antimner and requested a refund due to the amount of mining time lost waiting for a replacement. I was told i pay return shipping and they will give me a refund when delivered. After the antminer arrived in china i was told they will not give me a full refund. I am responsible for the original shipping cost, return shipping cost, and import tax both ways. I have not been told how much of a refund i will receive but it will be around $200 less than what i paid. And to be perfectly honest, i have a feeling bitmain will come up with some BS excuse such as it was not returned in the original condition and they can not give me a refund or replacement. May god help you if you buy a S2 from them. They have jerked me and given me such a hard time over a S1 i can only imagine the nightmare you will have to go through to get any kind of support for the much more expensive S2.

I disagree, I think s2 will mine about 3 btc in its lifetime, before electricity costs (24kw per day).

Any chance in hardware ?
I did use it side by side with S1, and S1 have ~40C while S2 have 60C+. As an item with 15+ weight and 60C+, its really good AC and exhaust fan so I turn mine to max. Right now I use AC with 2 PK work with 1500+ watt just to cooling S2 and I dont think I can put more than two S2 in the same room, or atleast I should bought another AC...

I could not disagree in anything of the above!

A viable miner, at ths time,  would only be with $2/ghs and bellow AND consumption less than 1w/ghs.

Anything else is for hobbying.

฿ buy-in only (and hold)         7.31 ฿         3600 $

s2 will mine about 5 bitcoins till Q3/Q4
not worth to buy at this crazy price (especially with VAT and customs fee and lead time about 10 days...)

Batch 3 has gone down in USD, but has gone up in btc. If batch 1 and batch 2 were overpriced, then you have no chance of making 6.6btc back with batch 3.

At current prices, the best thing is to buy btc now and hold and then buy miners with those btc at a later date, when the exchange rate has gone up.

Edit: remember, there will probably be another difficulty jump before b3 arrives

They said will be next week available.

Cmon, be serious, we have been preordering S2, we also lost coupons from the "supposed" soldout of S1.
Dont make like S1 , and S2, were always available!

I have 7 clones in my hands and will buy more next week.

All versions of my A1 are 950gh/s +++

Also you miss the most important factor....CONSUMPTION!

A1 is 0.0044btc/G assuming it runs full 1T, u can see from that thread that it's only 90%+ of 1T.

S1 is 0.831 per 180Ghs or 0.0046btc/G, that's b4 overclock. Not to mention it's historical track record.

I'll take S1 anytime over A1 clone.
