Come on now BITMAIN. Give us something to bide our time with. No spec updates beyond the clarification on the second day and then you only post several days after to address payment issues.

Any pictures of the actual product?
Fan count? Same fan as S1s?
Average load temperatures with local ambient temperature for reference?
Free t-shirts with each S2 purchase?

How about just a quick mention that you are still on target for shipping out after the weekend?

A little bit goes a long way here.

Sudden weirdness at BITMAIN, it seems. I just ordered another S1 and paid within a few minutes (ho hum) but the site says the order is "Unpaid" and "Expired". I checked the addy and amount, of course, and I have lots of confirmations. Anyone else getting unusual behaviour from BITMAIN lately? I know this is the S2 thread - just getting twitchy and wondering if the sky is falling (BFL first-month pre-order wounds reopened).

I think we are fine too. See his post here on another thread about the "expired" indication.

If you take a look through the various Bitmain threads you'll quickly see that this is par for the course. Send them a PM with the order and transaction ID if you wish, but you're most likely just fine.

Edit: I just took a closer look at the S1 thread and several people are mentioning the same issue (orders showing up as "Unpaid" and "Expired"). I had missed that the first time through - there's a big flame war going on there of late which tends to mask other info. I'm still wondering if all is well at BITMAIN though.

Edit: The problem for my order just cleaned itself up at the BITMAIN site. No more "Expired" and it now shows as "Paid". Much ado about nothing, I guess. Sorry for the hassle.

But still need to see any review before ordering...

Its coming, be patient Tongue

Got a 24MP camera and lighting for some better photos, more power test equipment, heat gun and fan tachometer. I really want an IR camera but will have to save up the pennies for that.

Yayyyy, so I asume you in 1st batch and got PSU 1200++ for overclocking (and some undervolt maybe) Cheesy

Cant wait !!!

I'm not sure where I placed, could be end of B1 or start of B2. 1500W PSU ready to check the headroom and overclocking out. Will do soft underclocking, won't touch voltages until we know more.

I was thinking 1500W PSU also. If Bitmain is using the same chip and their claim of 1000W at the wall is correct, this machine may have some room to run. I don't suggest leaving the cover on though.

Nice ! Looking forward to some trusted reviews. Would rather purchase a Bitmain S2 than take a chance on the bootleg A1 rigs.

Depend how much you pay right ? B1 = 3899 USD and B2 = 3599 USD...

According to this post :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-undervolt-antminer-s1-119wgh-at-the-wall-526060
(S1 undervolt to ~160watt but keep 140 GH speed)
And S2 have same chip like S1 (according to sushi review)

Than I was thinking if an S2 is undervolt of (maybe) 6 S1 with better design PCB so it can do 166GH and 166watt so total 1TH with 1000watt with less heat... If thats right I asume it can stabilized in 1080 GH with 1080 watt (heat like normal S1) OR overclocked to 1200 GH with 1200 watt. And with including PSU people would never thinking buy another PSU so no one overclocking it means less RMA.

Dont get me wrong, Im S1 miner and its a fine product (and delivery too) so I really looking forward to S2 product. But still need to see any review before ordering...

Wow April 4 ship of 1 TH machine $3000

Still waiting on my S2 at $3900

Guess it never pays to get too excited.......better deals coming all over lately.....

Now that mining manfuctering has caught up to demand......probably means that BTC rolls over now and goes down......

need to break the wedge or hate to say it $400 is on the way
