+ 1, but if you have only BTC and you want to have more BTC ?

Then send your BTC to me. Every day I'll send you a few satoshis. In a few months, you may or may not receive more BTC than you originally had.

Love it... take my money.....

ROI is possible if BTC reach USD 850 and above.

So just buy BTC. Then when BTC reaches 850, you'll be at +75% ROI, rather than simply break even.

I am in this situation and I found no ROI miners this time.

Miner ROI should be calculated only in BTC in order to discount BTC exchange rates.

So, fiat priced miners are "cheap" when BTC is high and "expensive" when BTC is low.
Therefore it is best to buy BTC when BTC is low and buy miners when BTC is high.
All IMO, of course. Wink

I am VERY disappointed BITMAIN.
I have a dozen S1s, and at this price I see no reason to buy S2s. I can buy 6 more S1s (1.1TH@375mhz), 3 gold PSs, and have $200 left to pay 2 months of additional electricity usage.

What exactly is the benefit here? They take up less space?
Or just to say I have one? Roll Eyes

Needs to be priced at $1300  Grin

I suspect Bitmain is bumping up against economic realities associated with requiring 640 chips to reach 1TH/sec at 1W/GH. I bet it is cheaper to use 32 A1 chips to reach 1TH/sec than it is to use 640 Bitmain chips to reach 1TH/sec.

Unfortunately, unless BTC spikes in price, or Bitmain starts using next gen chips, I'm not sure how much the price of a S2 will go down in BTC terms from here.

IMO the price should be betwwen 2200$ and 2400$. Others like bit-tech or the dragon miners are selling for far less than 3199$.

I am "lucky" that my miners are working fine, problem with just one having my fans running at 100% all the time. Still didnt find any solution on how to control those god damn fans. So fans are still running, 3 of them are monitored in the antminer webinterface and with the first one it is showing 0 rpm ( but still running at 100% ).  It is so loud, and bitmain replied to me that it is not possible to adjust fan control manually. So disapointing.

I hope someone can find a way to acces the miners configuration file, I really need to reset / control the fan settings with SSH or something like that. I tried everything I could in order to have my fan control working good.

I agree, Bitmain seems to REALLY be milking the S2 … That or they are trying not to piss off batch 1 or batch 2 customers...

Batch 1 and 2 owners already made back $31-32 a day on the machines mining.

Wow! Seriously, I am interest to see how you arrive at that. If it's true, I get 1 too.

What im saying is 1Th will make about $31 a day hashing now.  If you bought a machine last week for $3600 it is almost same price as if you order a batch 3 machine today for $3199 and receive it next week.

Too bad the S2 won't ROI in it's lifetimes for Batch 1, 2, or 3 buyers.

You mine BTC not fiat....

I agree that $3200 is too high for a S2.

I'm a big Bitmain supporter, but honestly, for the price, I'll either go with A1 clones for $500 less or May SP10 Dawsons.

If they didn't want to piss off batch 1 or batch 2 customers, they might have given us a coupon worth more than $100...

Their prices were unbeatable when the bitcoin price was higher, but now they have pegged the price in dollars, making break-even very difficult, if not impossible...
