Over clock at 1.5 Th/s should be able to do that ?? Damn tax return check better hurry up lol.. Thinking easy 2000watts at over clock ?? You would need to add another 1200 watt power supply ..

On the bitmain site, the price is fixed to 3899$ and then the reflected BTC price to side.

Disappointing. That's going to make ROI calculations much more complicated.

Bitmaintech was, until now, a very good company that truly was supporting BTC.

Now Bitmaintech shows less trust in BTC because the company is changing prices of its miners with decrease or increase of BTC value.

They had a good system. Charging Btc lowering the price to reflect market value, selling only from stock etc.. This is a disappointment really cost wise and configure wise. Just IMHO of course. But it will still sell

Bitmain can you please create an option to ship without PSU so I can overclock this bad boy to 2 + Th/S

..

Do you honestly think you can overclock it 2TH, that a 100% increase.

It's so much cheaper to buy the S2 in $ rather than BTC I save about £400 aha!

Customs fee will be a bitch to EU/UK and with PSU customs will bloody freak!

Bitmain can you please create an option to ship without PSU so I can overclock this bad boy to 2 + Th/S

and to pay $3899 for 2Th/s this I can live for Smiley

Not many people will know the full power/ what it can really make at overclock.

Hopefully Bitmain will release these details but tbh 600+ Chips per customer is a lot.... Bitmain must have loads of these introduction to use that many.


If you asking me best using less chips with 28nm design... but oh well I will see what Bitmain says Smiley

I have  3 high quality 1000 watt psu running 6 s-1's .  my need for the psu is 0

So an good enermax cost 150 usd shipping is 20 usd.

 Sell me a 1th unit without the psu.

reduce the price to 5.6btc maybe 5.5btc
Sorry, where can you buy a 1000W Gold Enermax for $150?

 you are correct i can't find one lower then 200.
but with 3 of these what do I need it for.  

plain and simple dumb move to force that psu on us.  we purchased  lots of antminers from them and now  they want to stick us with  psu's many of us don't need.

and I want the new gear but I feel that the psu is a problem for me.

I have no qualms with a PSU being included so long as it does not mess with customs, and the price is still reasonable. If they are able to buy a few 100 PSUs for $100 each (compared to $200-270 in North America) and the savings of that outweigh the added weight, I say go for it. It will save me lurking around in all the local tech stores trying ot find deals that dont involve an MIR or $20 for online shipping

I know i said 5BTC a few posts up, but 5.5BTC is actually reasonable as well IMO. However, >6BTC is a little bit of a stretch unless it comes with one hell of a coupon code.

and Pieh0: shut up. 3BTC is insanely low and I would spend all my earnings at that price for the guaranteed profit

Congrats for not getting the sarcasm, $20k for a Tesla? Come on...

Lucky for me I dont pay custom fees, and only pay $0.055/kwh average so I will make ROI very fast even at 6btc or higher.  Wink

this reads like an offer of free hosting.  Shocked what's your address?

Way to much for 1Th/s
should be around 3 BTC if that


Agreed, like I said on the Tesla forums, the Tesla should be around $20,000...

If you're stuck on 55nm just sell the S1 underclocked and let people build up their 1GH/W hashing power from smaller cheaper units. Roll Eyes

Underclocking the S1 doesn't decrease the production cost.  All it does is decrease the effective $/gh and makes them less appealing.  If buyers are stuck on GH/W then they should underclock the S1 themselves.

You need to underclock the frequency and volts together. But really I'm saying the the new 55nm chips have the same size package so just stick them on the same boards/chassis that everyone knows and loves. It makes no sense to re-design everything into a big silver box. Just sell 100GH/100W units @ 0.5BTC. If someone wants 1TH they can buy 10 of them for 5BTC and you ship it in one big cardboard box. Wink
I would love it if they're using the same boards as the S1, but I doubt it. If they're running the chips that much slower, I am sure they've redesigned the boards to increase the number of chips per DC/DC power supply and lower overall cost.
Granted, maybe they will. Those regulators are being pushed to the very limit on the S1s. They would see a decent boost in DC/DC efficiency by running them with less power and cooler.
