I've ordered a lot of hardware from Bitmain in the past and now I've got like 12 coupons on bitmain (6 for the S1 and 6 for the S2) and I see there's a donate button, does that mean I can transfer them to someone else? Has anyone done this... sorry for the slightly off-topic post.
BITMAIN YOU KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM DO YOURSELF AND YOUR CUSTMOMERS A FAVOUR AND SHIP THE CARDS UNINSTALLED.
exactly. wrap the cards separate to be installed on arrival. but of course that would require possibly more space and have them trying to jam all the wrapped cards into the case creating problems of the cars corners eating thru the packing and damaging other things.
you would think after 4 items arrive damaged they would hire an Ape to toss a shipping box around until the outcome is no damage.
All that needs to be done is adding braces to the card cage at the mid-point and re-evaluating the tolerances between the cards and the card cage. If one wanted to go the extra mile, one could use the black foam from B2 (or whichever) on the bar that locks the cards down.
Right I suggested something similar. A crossbar and possibly some kind of plexiglass to cover the cards...which also helps with airflow as well as it ducts it better. Cooling is improved.
Or just ship them like ASICMiner - Nice foam in the blades and backplane - Nice bit of DIY hardly diy just simple plug and play but yeah they need to update there design team or package team so much for QC Checks.... Or how it
actually you all misinterpreted my point entirely, i am not pissed off at the discounts as such.
im pissed that each time they are just small enough to barely make a difference.
NOT ONCE have i thought, what a bargain!! Im in!!
its always. ffs, might as well.
and let us be fair, these products barely make the 'good' grade.
what group buy??

Well you don't have to buy one every time there is a price drop, you can wait for a couple of price drops till its worthwhile.

Exactly this.
But it is strange, when you know exactly the total cost of your product, when changing the final price, means:
-Cost changes on daily basis
or
-Markup on cost changes purposely on a daily basis
I cannot believe that their cost changes on a daily basis.
I think it is most probable that they decrease their markup daily.
I cannot understand , though, this strategy.

They are reducing the price gradually... I rather see the price drop slowly overtime...
Considering the price of SP30 - $11,995 was sold $4,995 per unit in RoadStress' awesome group buy... that is a difference of $6,000... Right there is a huge profit margin...
These guys are running a business and not out to do you a favor... So I don't blame both of the companies, if there is a demand people will pay for it... Welcome to capitalism...
Let me do a little napkin math for you.
S2 today with $400 coupon = 1989 Shipped
Group Buy shipping in 10 days = 1650 Shipped
1Thash in 10 days will bring in a max of $240.71 at today's prices.
$1989-$241= $1798
You will save yourself $148 minimum by using the group buy instead since the difficulty will go up about half way through the 10 day period by the time you receive your order placed today. I would expect savings to be closer to the $220 range.
Buying direct from Bitmain will be attractive once the S2 prices reach $2150 before coupon.

It is quite good strategy. Some people have $3000 in their back pocket, some $2000...So, by depreciating the machine as it's earning potential decreases, they open up sales for more and more customers and it wrecks havoc with their fixed price competitors. The product has to be good, though.
Their pricing strategy was clearly stated by them in one of the very first postings they made introducing their company and their first product.
i find these piddly price cuts quite offensive...
hey guys, a week after i overcharged you for almost exactly a TH, here i am again with a HUGE discount...
reminds me of the 0.05BTC coupons or were they 0.005
whatever its a pisstake.

You do realize that Bitcoin miners are a depreciating asset that are worth less everyday unless the price of BTC increases, don't you? Bitmain is simply pricing their product based on that reality.
This complaint sounds like sour grapes. Oh, poor baby, someone else got a better deal on a miner than you did.
Keep an eye on prices, and if they are going down faster than what the miner can earn by mining like they are now, it's probably better to wait than it is to buy...
As much as I hate the idea, kendog makes sense with that. I bought one at the 2599 price point. Bugs me to see it go down. BUT it is a depreciating value. In some ways its actually a good thing as buying another miner turns out to be cheaper, and it goes on from there. And they are staying very competitive noticing the dragon miner also doing something similar. spondoolies is maintaining the same pricing (while excellent quality systems) they are keeping themselves in the premium space in terms of hardware for larger volume datacenter operations. bitmain caters to both.
Exactly this.

Yes, when I was saying that a week ago, you all yelled at me.
I cannot understand the reason of discounting everyday, it makes old customers getting pissed off.

Um...
It's called being competitive.
And addressing the need of customer, which is fair as an s1 delivered later will earn less compared to s1 delivered earlier.

Any discount is a good discount in my books.
Works for me. I've been incrementally leasing racks one at a time and filling them with miners as I go.

2389 - 400 = 1989 pretty good just about 4.4 coins for 900gh.
As I will pull a board to give proper overhead on the psu.
it will also cut down heat/cooling issues.

New price for AntMiner S2 1 TH/s Miner Batch 4: 2389 USD each one, shipping cost included.
Yes I know I need to handle the cooling and PSU etc, but over 2k for 1TH still feels bad. According to CoinWarz you would still break even in 95 days with the current difficulty.
