the group buy was denied by bitmain themselves, they no longer offering bulk purchase discounts for us, the last closed groupbuy for $1650 was the finale

Maybe they just don't have enough.

BITMAIN ….. Can we please get a statement on the upgrade path for the S2 ? I just seen in another thread that your sales department is pushing the S3. Are you going to be able to make good on your "inexpensive upgrade path" or are you going to ask us to ditch our S2's for a whole new box ? Its mid June, and a few other vendors are starting to overtake your deal … Just looking for a reason to hang tight .

BITMAIN - Do not give promises,  what you can not keep.

Shipment within 48 hours after full payment. Returning customers please check your account for coupons.

Order Date: 2014-06-15 13:58:18

Status - unshipped.

And we will soon be four days of public holidays.

I paid 3.194 BTC , to arrive before the holidays.

Today you can  buy for 2.878 BTC .

Do not believe the empty promises.



If you haven't purchased from BITMAIN before then you may not realise that its common for you to recieve your parcel before they even have a chance to update their web site to say its shipped.

Bear in mind that 13:58 your time might be the middle of the night China time (unless of course you are in China) then you can give them a little leeway.

Have you tried emailing them before throwing your toys out of the pram here? (Bear in mind its the middle of the night there now)

Which holidays-country specific? maybe they are fixing something? price difference is mostly because of 10% BTC price rebound and you never know which way this will turn in the future. Having said that-I get your point.

Glow Stick Dance!
Oh crap, my batch 2 AntMiner S2 stopped working today, after 3 months of solid service.

We had a power outage, and after the power came back on the S2 was "dead". It wouldn't power on at all. I replaced the Enermax 1000W PSU with a Corsair AX1200i and the unit now powers up, but nothing shows on the LED screen and the unit doesn't register on the network. I know what the MAC address of the unit is and it doesn't show up on the network. I have tried two different micro-SD cards, neither of them work.

Not happy.  Sent an email to Bitmain, hopefully they can help me out.

You have a scrambled SD card. Search the forum for a solution. It's a very common problem.

Does replacing the card with a better one help it survive outages?

Yes, without a doubt! Buy a Class 10 Micro SD card (or two), you won't be disappointed. I had similar problems with the SD cards on my Bitfury rigs. Some high-quality Patriot brand cards solved the issue completely.

And after saving all changes I also got it working in the S2 BBB.
I don't know why?!?!?

Magic, never tell the customer however if you work in support, the secret must be protected.
