They are just hoarding them for there farm until something substantial comes out which with the exit of knc and spondoolies from any new machines bitmain kind of has us all by the balls and can do what ever he wants

Emailed support.... again.... the same comment "No news".  This gets old real quick.  First there's Hype about it and dates and the it just dwindles from there.  From a PR stand point wouldn't you think at least bi-weekly updates are in order?

Don't hold your breath.

I'm guessing may be after June when the last S5 batch goes on sell on or  is gone, i sure hope they do more then the  S5 does as a upgrade if we ever see them .

Well, technically, I made this thread.

Indeed you did.  Though I have read the entire thread, over time, since its start.  I forgot who the originator was. My apologies about mispeaking on that point, of who made this thread.  Thanks for the correction.

It's been over 2 months since the kit was showcased, and no real information has come out since.
Will Bitmain just release the S2 upgrade kit when then new wave of miners come out?
I wouldn't be surprised after the S4+ joke.

I've tried to be patient with "just the techs".  The problem is that "just the techs" started more than 2 months ago telling us there will be an upgrade soon.  That has been quite some time now.  You are Bitmain.  You made this thread.  You have not told us anything here except "soon", "hopefully" and lots of other garbage responses (including: we're going on holiday, again!)

I used to think Bitmain was a rising star.  Looking at how you have treated customers this year, you are more of a shooting star - a quick, bright showing, but off in the distance, never to be seen again.  First the ever changing pricing tricks.  Now a second go around at an S2 upgrade, that has been more months without real details of any kind.

Do something.  Say something of substance about this upgrade.

Please remember, none of these items are pre-order.  Our sales team and the Marketing team will make the announcement when it is ready.  we are just the techs assisting you guys with the need.

Bitmain you may want to rethink your strategy for releasing information sooner than your ready to release such a product.  From a customer service standpoint this looks real bad since this is the second time you have done this for the same product.  Get your ducks in a row and this week give us some info.  Good or bad we need to know if you've dumped the program or fine tuning it for deployment.  Believe me it will be refreshing to see new products from other suppliers soon so we don't have to rely on your theory "We're the only ones shipping so we can do what we want" campaign.

I think the guy that is "pulling BTC price lower" is named Adam Smith.

Look him up on Google....  Smiley

I think the Bitcoin price will be pushed, maybe, under 180\160 euro?? So the whales
can Upgrade their S2's as cheap as possible.
Most idiotic theory one can imagine, what's your IQ dude? Can you calculate 2+2?
It's quite possible to see it in that range.  What's idiotic is your theory why it couldn't.  People (companies mainly) can't afford to hold it at it's current value forcing them to sell which in turn can force the price down.  When it climbed in late 2003 we bought and held.  There was very few ways of spending it, plus the difficulty was ripe for the new asics.  It will rise again.  Take comfort while it's still low to buy in.

A new hope for Capitalism wasn't what the blockchain was intended for I'm sure.  Large corporations profitting from the middle class.  Oh well, too bad there wasn't something implemented in the structure to deny this.

Every time Bitmain launches a new product the Bitcoin price is getting significant lower.
It was so with the S1's, S2's, S3's, S4's and so on...

I follow the Bitcoin price 24 hours a day, 365 days a year an we can see that there is
somebody pulling the price lower and lower for over 2 months, after a 2 month correction
going up againg. (I think these are whales manipulating the BTC price so they can buy
new ASIC as cheap as possible, pushing the price up again, just before selling there
second hand hardware for the max. and then dropping the Bitcoin price again so they
can pull of this trick again, and again, and again...

I think the Bitcoin price will be pushed, maybe, under 180\160 euro?? So the whales
can Upgrade their S2's as cheap as possible.

So maybe another 2 weeks of lowering prices and maybe then the S2 Upgrades will arrive?
I personally think that very big Whales have information that will never find its way to
the mass. I think this is a very bad influence in the Bitcoin world, but greed is the first
problem I think!    GREED is NOT GOOD  Angry

For now, we'll just keep waiting...

Bitmain units are priced in dollars, but you can pay in BTC, every time the exch. Rate drops the miners cost more BTC, so why would a miner whale want that?

Price is dropping from speculators playing in illiquid markets with margin to extract $$$ profits, and a shift from hobby miners who's aim was to hold BTC to new and corpo miners who are looking for a $$$ payday.  The average participant has moved from the geeky type interested in the blockchain tech and what it could do for society, to people looking go extract value.

Dear Bitmain representatives!

Should we keep waiting for these upgrade kits or we can leave even the hope of getting it?.. Please tell us clearly - YES or NO? To wait or not to wait - that is the question...
