Possibly a post containing nothing but wink emoticons. Or are they not doing that anymore?

Well, at least Bitmain is here with us and keeps promising. It's better than nothing...

If i would ask for advice, to buy another S2(s) or not to buy - what would Bitmain answer?  Cheesy

Still looking at the 18x2 string boards we saw in March? What's the issue you're seeing keeping them from being marketable?

i just hope it better then a s5 or I'll go buy another s5, then do the upgrade fun it's more fun to me but the upgrade it self really won't be that great unless it more in line with a S4 even if its a little less then a S4 +.



to me the S1 to S3 upgrade was fun to do and a nice upgrade .

I wish they'd at least say if they are going to release the upgrade kit or not.
At this point, the kit has been in the hands of their "engineers" for almost 2 months, they should know something, either "can't release at all" or "release within 30 days".

I am patiently waiting I am trying to sell my 6 X S2's but if the upgrade kit comes out ill take them off the market and go the upgrade route instead

Why?

I doubt the upgrade will come.

Selling them?

Maybe to someone looking to mine some alts?

Got a price in mind?

Selling because I am downsizing my mining farm we lost one of our locations we kept miners in

The problem with these things is the shipping I prefer to sell them to someone local I had a few get destroyed by UPS I am located near NY city and am willing to meet someone within 100 mile radius looking for 1 BTC each or best offer for all 6

Companies can be shady for sure.  But even Bitmain can't weasle out of this upgrade kit twice.  Well at least I hope.

Dont get me wrong they are rock solid and very quite but the chips are dated its been overdue for an upgrade since he skipped the Update and offered Coupons for S4 now this time around the boards exist we know they do picures were posted on the forums but still not for sale? he knows hes got the market cornered now so he doesn't have to do the right thing for the customer anymore
Exactly, for awhile they play ball when competition is there, the minute it's not they think only about $$$$$$.  The fact that they have hushed about the kits on the forums makes you wonder if they have abandoned the whole thing to promote the S4+.

I think Bitmain has demonstrated a keen sense of the Bictoin mining market, and will price an S2 upgrade accordingly. I mean by that it will NOT be cheap, nor represent any kind of huge leap for cheap. After all, once all the engineering and stuff is done, the easiest thing to do is adjust the price. I expect it will appear pretty pricey, and IF (and only IF), they need to respond to a competitive problem, they'll drop the price. Why else would they do anything different?

I don't own an S2, and am just looking at their pricing over the last 12 months.
S2's run like a miner should and they're quiet, 55-60db.  Bitmain's original spec goals deemed these worthwhile to have but time is ticking by.  I think they ran into a kink or don't want to interfere with the S4+ launch.
