Topic: ANTMINER S2 upgrade kit? EDIT: BITMAIN WHERE ARE YOU?!?! - page 8. (Read 35658 times)
Bueller? Bitmain?
I've given up on any S2 upgrade kits. I suppose I should just toss mine into the electronics recycling bin along with all my old Bitfury gear next weekend...
How about sending it to me?
Bitmain promised (!) to provide us with S2 uprade kits twice, so I still hope... I've given up on any S2 upgrade kits. I suppose I should just toss mine into the electronics recycling bin along with all my old Bitfury gear next weekend...
If you're in the USA I'll pay shipping as well as a few bits for you on those S2s rather than just pitching them!
I hope Bitmain comes out with another decent chip so I can play with it. I really want to like SFARDS and they do seem pretty open to working with the community, but I just really hate BGA.
But yeah, S4+ definitely caused a double-take. And who knows, maybe they'll make S2 upgrade kits next generation?

Yeah, the S4+ and that PSU they came out with recently both threw me for a loop.
They are trying to maximize profit and an S4+ is a much better way to do that than to deliver S2 upgrade kits.. Like any commercial enterprise they are balancing customer satisfaction against profits..

i for one really look forward to sfards rolling out more chips for mining. they truly seem to be the new company to keep an eye on while this shit train crashes after the laughable s4+ release.
I'm going to keep this thread near the top until we get an answer from Bitmain. It's been 4 months with nothing more than "yeah, we're working on it".
Up we go!
Up we go!
You sir, are a most persistent optimist (in my opinion). It feels "Waiting for Godot" to me.
Perhaps. Maybe some community pressure will pop out some news... ? Dunno.

It seems pretty conclusive that they will not release this after all, 3+ months of testing and not shipping yet?
Unless, they are using the kits themselves (for "testing" of course) and when someone releases something better, they'll ship these kits as new for a crazy inflated price.

I agree with your statement in full. They are "testing" kits I believe and they will not ship or properly announce them until someone offer better and efficient miner on the market. Things are like that because there is no competition yet.

bump for bitmain sucking and deceiving us
big like!
from february till now....

bump for bitmain sucking and deceiving us
That would be the thousand dollar question right now. End of May.... June upon us, March was months ago when they were only a couple weeks away from release. Remember them saying their in the testing stage of R&D back then. Bullshitters are everywhere in Crypto World, didn't think Bitmain would take another backdoor to this kit again.
