I am interested in batch 3 as well. Hopefully the price can roughly match 5x s1

HodL tight, it's gonna get wild
As it is still needs one and a half hour to enjoy the April 1st, this message is real:

we are packaging the Batch 1 of S2 and will be shipping them out tomorrow.

Great news Bitmain. Thanks for the update! PLEASE Please please, can you put the replacement controller board for my dead S1 in with my S2. Thanks.

I only do business with those I trust. Bitmain never fucked me over. So I am willing to wait for S2 in stock availability similar to current S1 stock. Of course the price needs to be attractive.

Currently my S1 farm is doing well and keeping 3 floors of my house nice and warm while it is still icy and cold outside so no rush to buy and swap in S2's and sell off my S1's locally.

Those are either Dragon Mners produced bij fz49.com or the 1Th/s miners from asiabtc (lightningasic).
Hi i decide to signup account been watching the forum quite sometime.
Those are from dragon miner from lketc.com/enindex.aspx. It is out quite sometime.

fz49.com is Dragonminer reseller. Asiabtc is Dragonminer reseller. Factory is called lketc.com.

This is how new Dragonminers look. They are 4 blade units with total 32 A1 chips, mine runs 1TH /1KW from wall.
I paid less than Antminer S2 and got it before Antminer S2

So no one here received the S2 ?
In Asia, they are mining with it. Some got them since 19 March (picture).
image link doesnt work.
I re-uploaded the image.
Here is the original source :

DigitalCoinFarm already got 11 of these running while I am writing this.
These machines are not Bitmain S2

What is it and who is producing it then ?

Ok, it must be Dragon Miner then.

Why do people wait one month for AntMiner S2 when they can have Dragon Miner ?

Run a Bitcoin node.
How can the unit draw 1Kw and only have a 1Kw PSU? This will not last long!!

Your 120/230V AC doesn't get converted to 12V by magic, there are losses and the power supply is rated to supply 1KW 12V DC at around 90% efficiency at high loads, I'll leave the math to you.
This was discussed at length earlier in this thread. Bitmain have checked with the PSU manufacturer that the load is within tolerance. Also, I believe the PSU is drawing 1,000W from the wall, not supplying 1,000W. It is probably supplying 900W to the miner.

TL;DR
Bitmain are professionals and know what they are doing with the PSU.

I asked Bitmain about hosting service for S2 and received the message: "we have a trusted partner who provides the hosting service for our customers, pls contact [email protected]."
Did anyone try this service?

When did he provide you with this reply ? And after how long from your initial inquiry ?  My order is still not updated after sending full payment. I am sure he has provided good service to a lot of you folks  before but  it has been about 1 week now and no response. I am starting to feel I was scammed.

All i am looking for is a single response via PM or email. Is that too much to ask ?

Did you email info@ and webmaster@?

Yes sir. Sent email to both addresses and then sent PM here on the forums.

Sorry for asking something that has been asked alot, But there seams to be no answer (not that I can understand)

How can the unit draw 1Kw and only have a 1Kw PSU? This will not last long!!

Can anyone explain why this is a good move in laymen terms please.

1. the hashing unit will not draw exactly 1000W, probably a bit less.
2. they have chosen a "reliable" brand - Enermax - which is rated at 1000W continuous output (i.e. "load").
3. the draw at the wall will be load + efficiency, so say for example the hashing unit actually consumes 975W and the PSU is 90% efficient then it will draw about 1083W at the wall.
4. the PSU has been chosen because it has a long life which, although reduced because it is running close to 100%, will be longer than the hashing unit will remain profitable.

All IMHO as usual.
