Quote from: edgar on Today at 00:27:55

can you tell me what the capacitors actually do?

do you think there is any risk of fire??

Hi edgar,
Relax, if it is wokring normally now, should not bring any bad results, the worst case is that the miner runs with less than 1 Th/s.


apparently the risk of less than 1Th/s is worse than the risk of fire/explosion...

and now it seems i may be back on the ignore list - UPS cant accept the package with the label Bitmain provided and he is yet to provide updated info despite being requested over an hour ago

I have some S2 Coupons valid 11 June.
Asking .2BTC each. Or make me an offer.
Again these will save you $400 off each S2.

0.2BTC=$130

400-130=270
these will save you $270 off  each one S2.

Today I bought one of S2 without the coupon.

I have also written make me an offer.

BoJaques - the 'newest' rigs /blades come with 4 extra caps on each blade.

whereas older ones do not have these.

im not sure what they do as they seem to function even when broken and or snapped off.


UPS does not recognize the tracking number sent by bitmain and are unable to assist in any way until they have the correct information.


guess it means more waiting or paying for it to be shipped myself!! (where its anyones guess if they will collect it/acknowledge it)

and all the while he sits with thousands of blades unwilling to replace a single DOA blade until 'we get back DOA board first'....

Does your unit have the extra caps soldered on?  Check the Bitmain site for the documentation addressing a similar issue.

My unit does not have the caps soldered on...Is that something that I was supposed to receive when i ordered the unit or order separately?

Having issues with my S2 B3.     Since I got the unit, it has never run stable @ 1Thz.   

It may run for a while at 1 Thz, but then I will notice the speed decrease anywhere from 700-900 ghz and will have boards xxx or ---- on the miner status page


1.   It is not always the same boards that error out.  Totally random.
2.  If I power off, then right back on it will occasionally (1 out of 3 times) go back to full speed.
3.  After an hour, sometimes after 6 hours I will check it again and the speed will have dropped again with different boards xxxx out
4.  I replaced the power supply with a thermaltake 1200 watt, no change
5.  Moved around to different circuits in my house...nothing.
6.  Currently I am running 9 boards and I have no errors, but 850ghz.

Anyone else have similar issues?   I have tried working with Bitmain by email but have gotten poor service.   Guy keeps asking me to shuffle around the boards, when I don't know which board is bad because every time I restart it is a different set of boards that errors out. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you guys take pennies?

pubes?

i has got millions..


@BoJaques - i have mentioned this in 2-3 threads now, yes i have a similar experience with my B4

my B3 with OCZ1000w psu sits at 1xxxGH all day

my B4 with enermax1000w sits around 9xx

by 'B5' (actually i think its an old B3, no metal plate, no foam) with enermax1000w & only 9 blades has settled around 89x

and just for clarity - i can NOT access 'Miner status' NOR 'Miner Config' without pulling the ethercable (i tried for 18 hrs to explain this to bitmain yesterday)

and checking the 'miner status' when its not mining is pointless!

Very Poor Service/Support , although he does appear to be 'trying' - i just received the shipping label to return the DOA board...

If anyone needs the coupons, then check ebay item number:151320359776
$49.95 piece.

 People like you are why Bitmain are more-than-likely doing away with their coupon program.

 Thanks, bro.

EDIT: Speaking of coupons, if someone has a spare, active S2 coupon they do not plan on using, I would greatly appreciate one. Looking to purchase a unit. Please PM. Thank you kindly.

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy assassins
Looking for some advice.

Firstly I'm in Canada. I'm looking to order an S2. Now, should I order from 112 or bitmain?
Can anyone advise? I'm thinking about lead time, possible shipping damages, warranty issues/return shipping, customs declarations.

If anyone has some input, I'd love to hear it. Also, if anyone has an S2 coupon, my ID at Bitmain is: bit_NINj4 (thanks xoun!)

Thanks in advance and cheers!

I haven't ordered from 112, but I have ordered 5 S2s from Bitmain.  Haven't had single issue, but I have had to call UPS and give them the authority to clear the shipments for me.  The customs charges were ~$140 for the first two, and ~$220 for the second two.  I won't know about the fifth until next week.

Just to clarify, it was $70 each for the first two?

Being bilingual (or more!) is supposed to prevent you from ever getting Alzheimers'.
Interestingly, when you are truly bilingual, you don't translate, but think or perceive in two languages fluidly.

Can we get another group buy at a discount, please?
Current calculators show no profit until deep in the fall (if everything is perfect), so buying bitcoin right now is preferential with summer heat already here.
I can attest to that... it was mind blowing when I had my first dream in German and realized in the dream and switched to English  Shocked

In the context of OP post, "each" and "one" has the same meaning.

Sorry. I have never learned to speak English at school. Only  Estonian, Russian and German.

Looks pretty strong English from here - 4 languages! not bad
