No need to shill.  It's clearly a carrier issue.  All pictures show the case itself bent.  Unless you think they manufactured a bent case, the package had to be hit with enough force to go through box, padding and still be hard enough to bend a metal case.   Shocked

this - that is more damage than what an upside-down/sideways shipping box would ever cause.

that said, bitmain obviously needs to step up the standards a little bit if there are such rampant reports of damaged miners in shipment.

there is an very easy way to know if the miner and its packaging will survive transit (and prove it to your customers): Pack it up, tape the box shut, and then roll it off the top step of a large staircase. Do this on video and then film the unboxing. If the unit is banged up and cards came loose you have an issue, since UPS will treat it no better than you just did.

I'm 100% serious - really give the shipping box a hard shove so it gets some bounce. You have no idea how badly UPS and other couriers handle 'fragile' items. If the packaging is done right the unit should survive courier.

Seriously? How bad do you think it is?

How many S2's have they shipped vs the number of damaged miners recieved? Do you have the numbers, do we even know the scope of the number of shipped S2's? I imagine its a pretty big number.

seems that couriers play basketball with every S2 that they handle

No problems here with 2 different shipments. Don't worry, be happy.

Also for me no problems with different shipments, but i just feel lucky after have seen these pics

I have had good luck as well, but now I have one that will not mine. I have flashed new SD card, GUI comes up. Hardware version is x.x.x.x and there is no cgminer version?  looking through board to see if this happened before.

Yikes...Are all of your boards working okay after getting everything reseated?  I just ordered another S2 and those pictures make me nervous.

My S2 spits our discards like it's going out of business, and it doesn't bother me too much as the number of accepted shares versus rejects is reasonable.

Same here: discarded shares number is proportionally a lot higher compared to an s1, but they are below the 1% psychological threshold

Are the duplicate shares not proportionate to the physical numbers of chips on the machine?  We've got 10x the chips as an S1, which I presumed was the cause of the high discard rate.  Am I incorrect?

Unfortunately yes: s1s made in 24 hours 0 duplicated shares, s2s have made an average of 12k duplicated shares Sad

Thanks for the data.  Could the throughput be to blame?  Sheer numbers of calculations requested to hash?

Compared to the other miners I have in my farm (Bitfury, A1's, S1's), it seems the S2 submits a disproportionate amount of duplicate shares.

Has anyone else noticed this, and aware of possible solutions ? Isolated case ?

I'm using a few s2s on ghash.io, and yes, they are producing an higher rate of duplicated shares, compared to the previus mining situation.
Do you have the latest firmware on your ant?
