Had an S2 shipped on the 22nd, now it's sitting in customs in California. UPS can't give me an estimate as to when it will be released. Any US buyers run into this? How long did your package take to clear?

Thanks,
Dave

All my S1s and the S2 I've just ordered have always been released immediately.

Ontario, CA.....I went to Montclair High, though that was 35 years ago Grin

I had relatives that lived off of Euclid, just below Holt Blvd in Ontario.

No change. The Kernel is treating it as a 64 chip board (which is why I posted the dmesg output). I'm running with 0881 as the flags (225mhz) and it's hashing nicely at about 1100gh.

A question: out of 3 tar files on bitmain site, do you need only the last (from 20140410) to put on backup SD or all three of them. Instructions are unclear to me.
Do I just put the tar file directly there or decompress it first?
What is the use of SD partition tool? Much obliged for any help.

i upgraded to a 2000W and overclocked to 1100GH

What frequency setting for 1100 ?

Im running 215.625MHz (any higher was >1% errors) and the S2 says 1100GH average but pool says 1068GH average.

doing the math now, its current error rate is 1.06% so i may need to tune it down to 212.5MHz

Thanks. What are reported temps ?

just a heads up - its only been 36 hrs but swapping the 4Gb class 4 SD for an 8Gb class 10 seems to have stopped the daily beepings.

so yea, saving a dollar per rig on cheaper SD cards causes miners to suffer untold downtime - must be worth it.

I have lots and lots of S1 and S2 coupons available. Contact me ASAP if you want one or more because the S1 coupons expire May 29 and the S2 coupons expire May 30. Just PM me your Bitmain ID and let me know how many you want of each.

They are free for the taking, although tips are appreciated:

Did those of you that upgraded after running the provided PSU for a few days notice a boost in hash rate after the upgraded PSU?

I replaced the PSUs in mine from the getgo. Didn't see a point in waiting for the PSU to under perform or die.

One got a 1300w, another got a 1200w.

Now if I could just get it them to work at full capacity with p2pool. Sad

has anyone attempted upgrading to a new 1300 Watt PSU?

I upgraded to an old Enermax 1350. Had to stuff the braided cables through the hole where the
little fan used to be. Runs excellent!

Bitmain should really change the pricing on the S2's to BTC price not dollars. These miners should never go up in pricetag, that's bad business.

Fix it to BTC already with steady decreases. They'd get alot more buyers that way. Also, the S2 has been out for awhile (since early April), no reason for it to be over $2k pre-coupon at this point. No chance at ROI for miners at this difficulty and future ones. It'll never earn back the 4 BTC it costs.

Even with a coupon it won't earn the 3.3 BTC asking price - needs to give a little here...
