Topic: ANTMINER S2 Discussion and Support Thread - page 206. (Read 355820 times)
wish these miners were more reasonably priced. Seems like a lot of money for 1th with this difficulty and once these are released the difficulty is going to start going up high again (20%+). Unless the price of bitcoin goes up quickly I do not see a value in buying these.
Factory price of 1TH Dragon miner is down to 17500yuan thats roughly 2800$ ex. shipping. Discounts given to large orders. Shipping out before April. They do ship out directly i wish they would go Bitmain way and open overseas sales website, they do the shipping anyways why not do the sales.

Is it possible to order from them directly ?

If you split across enough pools you can't ever have bad luck.
Well not exactly but you can reduce variance. But you also miss out on individual pool good luck streaks.

True. I should have said you minimize your bad luck (and good luck as someone else pointed out)
No you're not at all, you're still exposed to the same good or bad luck of mining. What you ARE reducing the exposure of is the 'bad performance' of the pool itself, ie mismanagement or issues or orphaned blocks.

Will stick to my S1 x 12 set up paid average 1.1BTC. Over the past month they have produced at least 5 BTC (2.16TH)
Not a single issue with any of the S1's very stable quite and low consumption.
Like the S2 but not interested at the minute bit too high in price and a few unknowns
Will it as stable and reliable as the S1?
Whats the import duty?
Noticed the S1 price has started to move up 0.92 2 days ago 0.988 today
Bottom line is time = money waiting upto a month to start hashing with S2 would cost me $3600

I have a similar setup of S1's...Which pool are you mining at, buddy...?
Was with BTC Guild but changed to GHash as it seem to be much better. Very big pool.
Happy with GHash but might split and have 3 pools with 4 ants in each. Need to research more
Splitting your hash seems to a good idea especially with so many pools suffering from bad luck. I had been splitting my 3THs between BTCG, Eligius and GHash. But Eligius' payout issues have scared me away for now. Plus their looney-tunes religious fundamentalism doesn't jibe with my beliefs.
Edit: looks like my late batch 2 order failed.
The Israelis are going to give bitmain a run for their money:

I do like the look of that. and how unusual to see videos, full spec and real people promoting the product.
Still have room for some S2's!
Awesome setup, very well done.

Not really. Better form factor for sure, but value is not there.
And let's see if they actually deliver a working product first before giving them too much credit. I think we can safely assume that BitMain will deliver on their promise but I'm very leery of anyone with no history. Plus the stupid name, Spondoolies, makes them sound scammy, lol.
Btw, I was able to just now place an order online for batch 2. I had an S2 in my cart from earlier today and was able to complete the transaction. Now I'm just waiting for confirmation. Fingers crossed.
competition brings value

I suck at math but if I ordered today and received my miner mid-April wouldn't the difficulty be well over six billion?
Yep, should be right around 6 billion after the next 2 or 3 adjustments.
