Hello Bitmain,

Wow!  This is totally awesome!

The timing is also perfect, as I almost purchased a 1 TH/s JTMINER for $4500!

Can I use all my discount coupons on the new S2 product or is it only for the S1?

I guess I'll have to choose the sloppy seconds with the Batch 2. Fine by me!

Thanks!

I ordered an S1 and got the expired order issue. Sent them e-mail about it, so just wait till they get it sorted. Those S2s at 4U are huge! Congrats on the folks that got one.
4U case is not huge, its about the size of most desktops.

A 4U rack mount case is 7" tall.  The width is either 19" or 23", depending on the rack.

The case shown at the bitmain website is not a 4U case.

I have had 2 previous orders at 1.45BTC which were changed to status paid.  That was over 2 weeks ago however.

Can anyone here help me with order

Order ID: 00120140314225434567QipQ6Rr2069D

It was paid in full immediately, and had 4 confirmations within 30mins. Despite that the order has expired as unpaid.

That has been the normal process for at least 2 weeks that I know of.
Only solution is patience which is hard when you don't even get an email confirming your paid order.
Expect the next activity to take place Monday or Tuesday when your order shows Valid.
Then shipping a day or 3 later.

Kinda disappointed,not the "breakthrough" miner I had hoped....oh well,gotta wait for ASICminer's new chip I guess  Wink

Everyone always have nice things to say about asicminer but I can't find their thread, could you link me to it?

Asicminer hardware is almost always overpriced so much that a miner can never make ROI unless you resell the hardware and rip someone else off, so I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for amazing things from asicminer...

TaaS is a closed-end fund designated to blockchain
Now Juan is showing again in stock...this time is 5 S2's...?1


Some orders has Bitcoin Payment and we do not receive the payment so I cancel the unpaid orders in Bitcoins 1 hour after


On monday I will probably have to cancel some of the orders paid by bank but I need to give 2 days to be sure they are unpaid.

Not to beat a dead horse or be confrontational, but what is so revolutionary about the S2 technology wise?  The enermax powersupplies?  The ugly silver case?  Please point out where they're pushing the edge.  The Lightning, Dragon, JT, etc are in the same space (1TH/s), are pricey at over $4k-5k each, but at least they're using 28nm A1s(stolen or not).

I'm just trying to see to value proposition with regards to the (same old)tech they're using.

28nm vs 55nm means nothing. All that matters is "up-front cost", "date of delivery", and "power draw". S2 wins against every other product on the market.

Juan at 112bit.com had a few left several hours ago even after bitmaintech sold out, and I managed to snag one. I could of gotten 5xS1 for the same price but it'd be at twice the power consumption. Every day that the S2 ships early helps on the return though. If it doesn't ship until the 1st I think its going to have to be OC'd just to make a return. Which also probably means its going to need an new power supply and maybe fans because I doubt they are silent. A week early would be nice. That way it'll RoI without OC.

I do have one question though............can you use 2 PSU's instead of one Huh I like to balance the loads on my outlets,600 watts max per outlet is my goal  Wink

If your outlets are on the same circuit, its irrelevant.
