1TH/s DIY KIT AT THIS PRICE? They must be fucking kidding.
Bitmain took the S2 down from their website, https://bitmaintech.com/product.htm only the kit is available, something is cooking I guess.
someone had a batch 4 link but I see its gone… I suspect they will fix this mess when they get back from holiday .. I hope things look better by mid next week .

This is odd ... Bitmain are treading water I think ... my first thought was that maybe the amount of RMAs on the S2 might have made them have a re-think ... the new 'kit' will ship without any 'fallout' problems.
Something new must be on the horizon ... we wait and see ... 28nm may well be here ...
Meanwhile Spondoolies will clean up, and a mighty fine miner the SP10 is too!

S2 was not a bad deal at the group buy price of 1650.
I hindsight, the $1650 S2 group buy was a great deal. I managed to pick up a few units.
Yeah missed that GB - looking at the SP10...
4.8115 BTC (which includes shipping) for 1.4 TH/s
Still too high for ROI. Stuck between a rock and a hard place - sit on the coins.
I am guessing the S2 price is negotiable but personally I'd now wait to see what the S3 looked like.
Maybe you're right - but I'm getting more and more disillusioned with the moves bitmain has made recently. I can't help thinking that when the S3 does come - it will be shockingly overpriced like the S2 was (and now the 'kit' is). This is a similar pattern to asicminer when they more or less monopolised bit coin mining market. They got greedy and let in people in like bitmain. If someone like spondoolies was alert to this and came in with a good price, they could make a killing while bitmain goes through the 'greed' stage.
Please give us back full units.
Ppl who want a no bullshit, full plug and play experience will buy the full unit.
Ppl who have spare PSUs and enjoy DIY, will buy the kits.
Both options will sell as hell. Not easy or cheap to find a 1000+wt atx psu where im from...

Yea what are they thinking ? That enermax costs 200 usd at least and then the lcd panel and pretty casing, for an extra 40$ we want full unit please.

What price would please you for an SP10?
I'd jump in for 4 BTC (including shipping).

they must preparing something new as Bitmain no longer has the S2 complete
They should offer a all in one miner for the not so experienced miners.
55nm is old tech must be something new
the good thing is that they never stop to surprise us either with the price or product

This kit is just badly priced. If Bitmain priced it reasonably (about $1500) it would probably sell. Considering that they save significant money on the costs of a case, asembly time, and the size/weight of the shipping package, it must cost about $200 less than the S2 did.
really looking forwards to the next gen, since i feel these kits could do very well with a 28nm chip. The current prices of both the S1 and S2 kit are out of whack with reality and the SP10 units are becoming a better GH/$ and GH/W
Agreed. The main downside of the SP10 is noise, but if one can deal with that, the SP10 is now a far better buy than the S2 kit priced at $2260.

How much btc do you make every single month if you have 5 units of AntMiner S1
1.43 according to https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty
But don't forget difficulty rises approximately every 12-13 days
More like .78 from June 1, to July 1. assume 15% rise jumps and .15/kw electricity
I sell s2 coupon pm me
Speaking of overclocking, the S2 seems to be happy @ 225mhs. I swapped out the Enermax for an EVGA 1300 I already had, added an entry in /config/asic-freq.config for 225mhz and am now running at an average of between 1.1 - 1.14 TH with a chip temperature increase of ~ 2 degrees. WU has gone from just over 14K to just under 16K.
I want to let this run a while before I try for 1.2TH

what code and timeout values did you use? can you post or provide a link to. Much thanks, I've got evga 1300 and might give it a shot.
My machine seems to already overheat periodically at default settings, though. I also noticed that once fans speed goes up, hashing goes down, which is reasonable as enermax has to use more power to fans, hence less for hashing, at least this is what I thought.
I was thinking of getting a "naked" kit (not at $2260), then don't even use the default fans and instead use a couple of powerful fans like Vornado to cool the boards, perhaps make a simple wind tunnel. It just might work.
0881 and 65
It is unclear to me the role that the timeout value plays in the calculations, so 65 was just copied from an adjacent entry. It may not be correct for 225mhs.
I started seeing very high rejects and errors so I'm back at 196 for now … YMMV
There was a big conference of chinese mining manufactures. Im sure they discussed fixing prices to maximize profit.
This is part of their culture, "sadly"
CLEAR case of demonstrating that its all about the dollars and less about the consumer .
