They say they are using a 14U rack... But those photos on page one look smaller than a normal 14u rack.

Bitmain, do you have more pictures of the S2?

How far can we overclock?

Is it possible that 1000W PSU draws only 1000W from the wall?

Yes, it is. As there are some safe margin when we chose the PSU.  The Enermax is not running at its full capacity.



How should we chose from S1 and S2?

  • When the infrastructure will be ready?
    If your infrastructure has to wait for another two weeks to be ready, I think S2 will be better.

  • What is the most scare resource in your mining operation? Capital or the infrastructure ( Energy, cooling system, etc)
    For some miners, they are not lack of money to have the hash rate they want, but they don't have enough room, electricity supply for S1. A enterprise level miner might have spent 100k USD and more than one month to build a hosting farm, but if they want to maximum the hash rate, they should chose S2

  • Do you have enough PSU units?
    Sometimes, buying a PSU is hard. S2 will be better.

  • Does your electricity cost low or high?
    We know that there are some area and opportunities to have ultra low price electricity, however, it is not the case for everyone. If your electricity price is not low, S2 will pay off in the long run.

'The right to privacy matters'
I think that bitmain should make an "S1.2" with 200gh/200watt



yeah or if they can't do 200gh 200 watt with 64 chips

  how about   125 hash/125 watt ?

btw if you have the correct skills the current models could be modded to get close to 1 watt per hash.

 you can put a lower freq to underclock

 it is then just a matter of lower volts to the chip.  I can fit more then 1 dozen in my garage  maybe 15.

 

I am annoyed that I am getting stuck with a psu if I buy one of the s-2's.

Batch 2 hasn't sold out yet and its been a good 8 hrs already

noted, i didn't realise they had added batch 2 - a few hundred $cheaper isn't a big discount, considering.

Confirmed. S2 = Definitely overpriced. 5 BTC is the real value consensus.

Wauw I really hoped for a antminer s1 design. This thing looks like my mother in law, and that is not a good thing  Cheesy

S2 case is not like "Ant style" at all!
Wait for S3 but I don't know how to properly throw 6 coupons away.

maybe you can sell your account, how much is worth each?
A good idea!
6 AntMiner S1 Coupon 0.055 BTC

I checked and we can change all information on the account and sell it but we have to trust each other.
BTW, I may help some of my friends to go into Bitcoin world but I am afraid just in case Bitcoin get worse...
