I feel I can sell my S2 freely. There will no be any kind of upgrade for S2s...
Please correct me if I am wrong...

BITMAIN promised us. I hope they will keep their words.
p.s. fortunately I have an access to free electricity, that's why I haven't sold my S2 yet.
p.p.s. how about e-mail attack, like several months ago about GPL terms?..

It might make the most sense to figure out what you could get for the S2 if you sold it today. Use that as a cost figure, and churn the numbers on how long it will take to break-even with 0 running cost.Can you wait that long? Do you want to?
I think continuing to wait for Bitmain, or harping at them is a waste of time. They have forgotten about this months ago.
The graphic above from Finsky sums it up.
One thing I could not tell who is in the graphic above? I do agree time to let go.

At this point I would suggest selling the S2. It's just going to go down in value. I recently sold some of my equipment that needed to go to lower priced electricity areas. Worked pretty good I was happy with end result.
But I don't see a upgrade kit coming at this point from them. Sometimes promises get broken when it comes to business. I'm guessing they added up cost, and man power guessing to help some through it. And chances are long ago decided to kill project.
And it is entirely possible they did a S2 upgrade at some point and kept it internal. That would make sense for their personal data centers. (just speculation).
Picked up 5 from a nearby Data Center and sold 4 after eventual news of no upgrade kits.
Will run the last one as a heater this winter.

i would go for something quieter like an s3 or s5 with the option fan on 0%
better efficiency too
u guys still dream of upgrading your s2

Bitmain themselves brought it back by showing off some BM1384 prototype boards this spring and getting people's hopes up. Of course they slipped some details, some potential timelines, and then apparently dropped the whole thing without a word.
yep, not a first company to do it too (cough-KNC-cough).
I also think that some people started buying used S2 in anticipation, so it could have been a double whammy. I almost bought one.
S2 probably did spectacularly in some places with very low electricity.
Yup, I picked up a couple.
I just turned my kit build off a couple months ago. I didn't get in anywhere near early on 'em and still ran it for a year.
I bought a second, a stock unit, for the museum earlier this year. I'd have bought a third to upgrade if the kits hadn't evaporated.

lol
Maybe they will try again with the new BM1385 Chips but like the last one that may never see public release and only be sold to private farms

S7 is out ... s2 is officially dead ...
Um, wasn't this a dead topic a year ago?
If you are located in Canada and are interested in selling your S2, let me know.
yup I see it on the site now looks more like the S5+ designed controller boards
