I sell S2 coupons for 0.05BTC each.
I have more than 30 coupons currently.
Pm me for anyone interested.

Just a short Hallo to All,
Thanks for all the Information!
I' don't have much time at the moment. So for (nearly) all that need S2 Coupons: I have 2 X S2 Coupons vallid until 23/5/14 and 4 X S2 Coupons valid until 30/05/14 to give away!
Donations are Welcome: 35kKxtF1fKq2vB2R3aEKJE25bwzsz4RPev
The half of the Donation will be Donated back to this Forum!
Send me a PM with your Bitmain-Account-Name, and if i have the feeling that you doing all of this not just for profit i send you max. 2! ... let's decentralize the Network as far as possible at this Point!
Until later ... time for Holidays know ; )
Update only 4/5 Coupons for 30/05/14 left

Personally I wouldn't call a doubling of the hashpower an extreme case, it's the upper bound of the suggestion made by Bitmain. My expectation is a node size shrink and cheap upgrade cards that use the existing backplane and heat sinks.
It is an extreme case because of the thermal constraints and power supply requirements of the OC'd package.
Your expectations are likely to be disappointed because a node shrink and a complete set of new cards will not constitute a 'very low cost' upgrade.
OC'ing the S2 is a poor idea IMO, it makes much more sense to just go buy S1s which are cheaper and better suited to handle the added power consumption in both cooling and dc/dc power regulation.
OC'ing the S2 (within the limits imposed by the need for operability in a home or small office environment) is a great idea, just like it was for the S1.
With a 1.4 - 1.8TH machine IN STOCK with 2 day delivery for $1600 - $1900 retail right now Bitmain would have this market all stitched up.
Hello. I have AntMiner S2 Coupon 400 USD - 29 pcs. Maybe someone needs? I can sell.
Lets analyse it a bit more:
-"upgrade to 1.8TH/s or 2TH/s at very low cost "
I believe is more like a hardware upgrade, rather than a coupon.
A short good news for the S2 buyer is that we will let the S2 to upgrade to 1.8TH/s or 2TH/s at very low cost which you can only image now in the August or September. It still depends on many factors to let us achieve that and detailed plan needs to be drafted, But we are very confident that we can make it.

Well they better start moving faster as diff will ne 10.4b next week.
But then again no one else has a better $ per gh solution either.
Hasratio is cheaper , but their machines are huge 8T.
$1.3/ghs for 1.2w/ghs machines.
Nothing on LCD?
nothing on LCD after reboot fail with C10 - 8GB SDcard
swapping back brought everything back to 'normal'
rebooting the wifi brought it back online.
everytime i think i'll go for just 1 more - they start beeping at me as if to say 'dont do it'
then when i get to the point of giving them a swift boot, they jump back in line...
Sounds like an IP collision to me if restarting the router fixed it (temporarily). Try setting a different Static IP.

I wonder what they are planning for the S2 upgrade they said.
Probably an OC to 2TH. After all these chips are only running at 196 ...
OC to 2TH is pretty impossible to do, i think that they are planning to sell discounted hw to all the ppl that have already bought s2.
Have you tried switching sd cards from your other rigs?
Nothing on LCD?
Well, for starters a 2TH S2 probably wouldn't generate 2.6 kW of heat, more likely ~2KW (I haven't done an analysis), but how about modifying an old fridge with some power sockets on the back wall ? That should satisfy the 'house friendly' crowd and the 'there is no way' crowd at the same time LOL
I don't believe the average fridge is designed for the duty cycle required to continually cool bitcoin mining hardware.

In any case, doubling the hashpower is an extreme case … it would be nice to get an extra 40% out of a machine which costs less than $2000 retail and whose price in a group buy is significantly less. The ideal scenario would be to OC it to the point where it could still run on a 15-20amp 120v circuit. Think an SP10 level machine without all the noise for ~$1600 ...

And the old cards, throw away?

A couple of EVGA 1300s and some bigger VRMs should do nicely ...
How do plan to handle up to 2.6kW of heat with the current cooling setup of the S2?

I was just about to ask that. Furthermore, it will no longer be house-friendly and would only be relegated to the data center.

hmmm …. the S2 /config/asic-freq.config looks just like the S1 /etc/config/asic-freq ….

There is not enough power available to OC the unit anywhere near those levels.
