To Micro Center! (love that place) It says 240V on it, so I assume its a foreign plug. Thanks for those who helped.

Better check the PSU for a 110/240 switch on it. Make sure its set correctly before plugging it in.

ALL current PSUs are auto-switching including the garbage Enermax that BitMain uses.

To the OP, if you're in dire need and can't wait, just take any power cord from a PC or another less powerful miner you have laying around.

Btw, this is an annoying oversight by BitMain. Why haven't they corrected this by now?

I just bought one of S2
Price with coupon 2.92BTC

interesting...right now buying or "holding" btc seems to be the best tactic. Plugging today's price into a calculator gives breakeven in december with a lot of work and care and "only" 14.4% average difficulty rise per cycle. Buying was best at the group buy price. selling miner will be best at around the next BTC peak (could be July). Buying now and enduring ASIC miner 30PH/mo deployment for 3 mo plus KnC unleashing another 10-20 PH-a tough call. We could be back to the 20% difficulty rise each cycle for a couple of months at least, maybe even 3 months.

Yep! Until the price falls a bit and the "hodler" sells low in a panic. Funny how buy-and-holders never take that scenario into account. Mining=bad. Holding=good. Pshaw!

Btw, why isn't buying now bad? Isn't the market price a little too optimistic right now?

Hi I'm hoping someone can help. I placed a order with Bitmain and sent payment from Coinbase. From my end it looks like everything went ok but
Bitmain shows they did not receive payment and now the order shows it has expired. Where did my Bitcoin go? I have ordered in the past and have had no problem. I just hope I didn't lose 2K worth of Bitcoin.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Send an email to Bitmain to fix the order status, it happened to my order also, don't worry he will ship your order.

Seriously, just cut the end off the Hong Kong cord, take it to Home Depot, tell them you want the right plug and they'll probably even wire it up for you for free.

Looks right. I ran mine for a couple of days on a lighter gauge cord and it got warm but not scary warm. Like I said, just under or about 9 amps at the wall.

Yea, its just that where this is going is about 20 S1's, which is already quite warm, so I do not want to push it over the edge.

Yeah those S1s put out some heat for sure, but I wouldn't stress out too much about it.
Just run it under the carpet where you won't see it if it catches fire lol

Or, if you are handy, you could cut the end off of your existing cable, pick up the correct connector at Home Depot or somewhere and wire it up yourself.

So far best buy and radio shack were a bust

Do you have a Frys near you ? They will have 'em. I just used the cord from a spare evga 1300 PSU i had lying around.

No Fry's, and nowhere else around here has them, I only want to order one once, so can someone please confirm that the following link is correct?

Or just unplug the washer or dryer or oven and use that outlet for now.

I have a 16 gauge one for my power supply for my comp Iwas going to use, but it has a bigger rubber part on the side that fits into the miner, aand won't fit in the S2 power supply. So far best buy and radio shack were a bust, last hope for the day is target or Walmart, otherwise I can't mine for 2 days until Ican order one fROM amazon. Hopefully bitmain compensates well for my troubles.

There's no switch.
And this cable does not fit in England and other EU countries.

Didn't we decide it was Aussie as some point? Either way, a heavy gauge replacement that fits your outlet will pop in and you'll be on your way.

I'd say 16gauge minimum. I checked my cables, most of my big ones are 16, but I found a 14 that I'm using on one of my S2s.

Ok, Micro Center did not have a 15A cable, only 10A cables. So I am out of places to go today. If I were to take out a hashboard or two, will it run on a 10A cable just fine? Or would you guys recommend not doing that?

Mine run just a little under 9A at the wall @ 120v

Radio shack. Maybe. 15 amp preferred.
