gotta let a coin be a coin
Tell me does AntMiner S1 or AntMiner S2 comes with complete set ready to plug in the cord to power, connect and start mining.

Or separate supply must be purchased

S1 requires a separate power supply, but the S2 comes with a power supply.

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

Cheers for this link, I appreciate it.  I'm going to bring in a second PSU over the weekend and split the PCI-cables, we'll see how well it works out!

No problem mate. Smiley

I've seen pictures of people doing this on KNC machines, splitting between 2 lesser PSUs to reach the required wattage instead of using a 1000W+ unit. I've got a Seasonic 550W laying around here somewhere, which could very well do the trick. Please report back and let me know how it goes!

I don't get it - no PSU and no case and only $49 cheaper than an assembled full unit?

How is that AWESOME???

I can already see all the newbies failing with those. Lets prepare to tell them we told you so.

Price meets the demand. Bitmain successfully fullfilled group buy and sold hundreds of S2 (can see from BTC wallet movement)
They are selling all they can produce. Keeping their normal healty-test-mining OP going.

Opening kit sales is awesome indeed. Good stuff for us DIY miners who have plenty of overstock PSU and are willing to build our miners.
But you are right about pricing, not worth it. Now I just need to hold my coins now and wait for Bitmains next strike with new generation of asic. I could assume Bitmain is extremely busy with developing new stuff and organizing manufacturing as much as they can. Lowering the price would jump order exponentially and they probably could not handle that much volume for now.

That design supports very low power mode for any new chips.

Antminer S3:
- 90w/ blade hashing 180-240GH will be 1kw/2.4TH miner.

Go go go Bitmain you can do it. Least Bitmain now has assets for developing some awesome stuff. While we see them pre-order scammers go away.

So the kit deal is pretty bad. Bitmain laid a goose egg on that one, but maybe they will listen to us and re-consider the price.


Dear Bitmain,

Thank you for offer on the kit deal, but you must do better for our community if this is a real offer. You will be saving labor, parts and shipping on the deal so I suggest you give us a better price point.

I will pay:

1-3 kits: $1800.00 each. No coupon
4-6 kits: $1200.00 each. Coupon available
7-15 kits: $1000.00 each. Coupon available
16 and up - Contact for pricing discount.

These are my suggested price points, please feel free to counter my offer and all pricing will be considered by your customers to be a serious attempt on your part to serve this community. We have supported you, we only ask you do the same for us.

This could be huge for you as this will open the door for all off us to become Bitcoin mining hardware dealers over night. Change the price and hire more staff, you will need it. Wink

Thanks
Rob Cool

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
