I'm not sure why people are so happy to lose money on the S2.
They would have done far better by simply purchasing S1s at the time instead of S2s.
There is no way the increased power efficiency of the S2 will even come close to making up for the lost mining revenue (S1s could have been mining a couple of weeks now) and lower price of the S1.
I hope the price of BTC goes up so Bitmain can offer future batches of S2s that have a shot at ROI in BTC, because batch 1 and batch 2 certainly did not.

For those following my saga.
I had a call via Juan from HolyScot.....
Thanks Scott
Didnt work yesterday but today I put everything out of the BBB including the network cord. The only think I did different today was pull the on the BBB IE a tug and pull out the net cable....pull out the SD.
Put it all back together and it booted up.
Added back half the blades at a time and whallla....back over 1 TH
I still think this is too touchy for the premium paid.....for this we could have had a dragon at 25% less.
Anyone shopping and looking at miners...... I have yet to have bitmain do anything for me for any of the their fubars.
Me if i shop again it will be the Dragon for 25% less.
Do yourself a favor buy S1 instead and underclock them later you will get 40% more hashing power for same BTC
This thing is a future mouse trap

S1 is the best product in Market,
In the paper Dragon is perfect in real life not so nice they generate in real life 10%-15% less GH than S2.

Folks Easter is coming UPS have already told me that Delivery could be end of next week due to the delays they are having in China with local holidays. They are working to resolve the back log. Fingers X but looking like a long time without mining
Call local UPS give them tracking they will tell you customs fee and if you want to pay it also a delivery date eta at local hub - mine is next Tuesday
Mine is in Ontario California. It will be in my hands by tomorrow afternoon. Where is yours going to?
Scotland buddy, Bitmain has been busy at the expo in Canada
Bitmain going green
They were also in NYC along with us. Was a great 2 conferences.
ON a bright note
BTC has the potentail to make our S2 ROI if can close up here....its at the long term downtrend line and is over as we speak...the close today will dictate the direction....much higher or much lower.

This happened with the S1 I purchased last week, but in Alaska. I was pretty mad because it was supposed to be delivered Friday and they changed it to Monday. But it ended up getting delivered early Saturday morning.
Has anyone else had issues with the MicroSD card corrupting after a power cycle?
Yes, and it took about 8 hours to figure out and fix (had to get a MicroSD card and writer) it. I am really disappointed in this miner so far. I lost a couple days due to other issues in the beginning and the good part of a day with this crap... They should have done a little more QA before they shipped it!!! My S1's are running just fine. I can tolerate a lot and I get this thing is new but the extent of the issues people are experiencing goes far beyond reasonable/acceptable.
Any word on batch 3? I see they have S1's in stock.
20T+ total ...?
Not bad...at all...

^ neat. 
All set up and running. And yes, the backlight of 8 have burned out so far.
Has anyone else had issues with the MicroSD card corrupting after a power cycle?
If you look close you'll see 24 S1's on each side.

Mine has passed through the clearing agency and is currently in Anchorage. It should make it to Kentucky before this evening and to my state by tomorrow morning.
Mine too has left Anchorage at 3 pm. Let's see it it makes it to NYC by tomorrow evening.
Overclocking: You have to edit /config/asic-freq.config, not /etc/asic-freq.config
After you make your edits, go to the miner configuration page and click save & apply to restart cgminer without rebooting.
Files may or may not revert to their original state after a reboot.
Does anyone know what values to use for option 'freq_value', option 'chip_freq', and option 'timeout' if you want a 225M clock?

wow, long thread, wont lie skipped to the end- so where is the best price on a 1th/s miner kinda interested
These guys have them for sale right now, and the price definitely right!
Plus they have excellent customer support from my experience buying gear from them:
http://www.gawminers.com/gaw-miners-1t-bitcoin-asic-miner/
thanks that is exactly the info i was looking for
Please no more GAW trolling we have enough clutter put it in right thread please
care to expand on this matter? is GAW good or bad? i see they even have a discount going on for S2, are they assumably in-stock?
That is NOT an S2 and that price is $300 higher than you can get that Coincraft chip based miner for immediate ship
