*edit*
I'm a retard.

I'm surprised things are working there as well as they are considering how close they where to that typhoon over the weekend.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr hope i have them on thursday

Does anyone know which batch will be the next to preorder(3,4,...) and when we acctualy can begin to preorder.Also,when we can expect deliveries from this batch?

Having worked for ups international; that error usually means the one filling out the customs paperwork f**ked up. :/

Exception in my batch 2 delivery:


what the hell....  

anyways on ups website i have this:


so i think they took plane i hope xD

This industry is so dynamic it's not possible to accurately project earnings, prices or hashing power on the network  from month to month. It's a very fast paced space both in innovation of technical products and services. However, that's why this is so much fun!

Mine moved on through OK. I guess they know not to mess with Texas:

BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

more like $5000

Even if you were able get enough free electricity and cooling for that much hashpower, the numbers still don't add up.  At 35% increase per month, in a year you'll be about 55k in the black.

M

for $$-use resellers such as
112bit.com
minersource.net
ebay

I don't think that they have any available now (with ebay exception) until the batch 4 is open.

There is a difference between not paying electricity and having infinite electricity. Your lease might provide you with free utilities but don't think that they'll let you use over a $1000 in electricity per month.

Hello guys,

I have a few questions regarding the S3.If someone can help me it would be great.

Can I order it (or preorder it) using dollars,not btc?

I tried to contact BITMAIN,but I am not sure if I used the correct e-mail adress.Do they have an e-mail,that they actualy read?

Thanks

Sorry but this forum is a bit messy,thats why I am posting this questions here

My status has just changed to

first update in 2 days! zz

I had the same issue with S1 and S3 units using the same worker, then I made another worker for my S3 units that took it back down to 512. The pool I am at only allows for min settings not max diff settings. I was looking at an option to include in the startup. Maybe someone here with more experience can elaborate.

What if you buy $80,000 worth of s3 I'd have around 66TH/S in power.
Since I don't pay for electricity I'd get my ROI in about 71 days and make about 300k in one year...? Why isn't everyone doing this.. Lol

Bloody hell....  I can't keep up with this thread!!  

Miss one day is like missing a year, yikes!  Anyways...


That's the downside with a pre-order market, scams are so easy and innocent.

You should capture the PayPal email you sent cash to and google it to see if there were previous complaints.

Contact the seller itself, PP will think you're a joker looking for a freeride if you don't even do that.

All you need to tell PayPal is that this seller is impersonating the Manufacturer's website, aren't an authorized reseller and you want your money back so you can buy from the manufacturer.

You can also, and SHOULD ALWAYS google a domain name (websitename.com) + words like "scam" or "complaints" and you can usually find some real experiences.

Watch for fake reviews too, they just look WAY too generic.

If you can do it, get your CC to reverse the transaction as it is a "Deceptive Domain Name" used, trying to act as the manufacturer, with whom there is no relatoinship.

(Forgive me if I'm wrong but I doubt it)

Anyone who has any sort of "financial authority" will be mimic'ed; that's why you need authorization to obtain domains with the word "bank" in it. (Seriously)

Since Bitman doesn't try to get itself ranked #1 for their popular keywords, other crooked webmasters will fill in their short comings and profit in deceptive ways.

I hope you didn't get scammed buddy but if you did, I hope you'll learn a lesson... I hope you learn one if you don't lost your $$$

This is the Wild Wild West of finance; people without a conscience will profit from those who don't believe anyone would do such dishonesty.

Most of us who love God wouldn't do such a crime against him; but not everyone thinks like this.

NOTE: PayPal does not always side with the buyer even if the seller is not good on their advertised claims.  PayPal loves money more than you.

Such as a money back guarantee that isn't being honored on a digital product, PayPal doesn't back/warrant ANY digital product.

Not long ago, few weeks at best, there was a fella who was ripped off by like 19BTC who impersonated Waldohoover...

Seriously, not many will feel bad for you because you should know better; it's not a market for impulse buyers and this has been proven time and time again.

There are also people who will try to claim they made a "huge buy" hoping the manufacturer will compensate them even with 1 unit; success for free?

Those who will do best in mining are those who have patience and take mathematically inclined decisions; not impulse.

You can't be a linear thinker in this game, it's a war game, a nasty one, fought with deception and information.

Do you know of how much money the 1840's miners got ripped off out of?  Would be billions today.

Some of the biggest earners were the gold buyers making 3-5 times their paper investment.  

The miners didn't know math nor weight measurements and trusted the dealer; others were blatantly handed counterfeit paper.

Your enemy thinks: "If they don't care for their money enough that they won't even do any research, I'll shamelessly take it, LMFAO and Thank/F*** you..."

Start by contacting the seller, wait 72 hours for a reply.

Take your money back REGARDLESS don't take credit, altCoin, money order, nothing else but a refund.

After 45-60 days you can no longer file for refund with your card company.

Wait for Bitmain Tech to re-open sales =D (Hint Hint Bitmain lol)

Not sure if you need to buy exclusively with coin on Bitmain's website but buying coin with CC/PP is rather tough.

You'll need to sign up to an exchange, get verified (KYC) if you want to buy with fiat.

Or find a member here willing to sell coin to you for PP or CC - Marketplace > Services - Find someone that does PP / CC transactions.

You might get lucky on Local Coins too.

Best of luck, I hope you get your money back!

Number 1) is why I don't use paperclips.  It is also why I don't use the server psu's.

_______________________________________________________________________________ ____________________
  If I mined my gear exclusively  until it died I would use paperclips.

 I still would not use the server psu with a breakout board. A   simple explanation  for me  I max at 8 to 10 s-1's or s-3's.

 Evga 1300 watt,  seasonic 1000 watt plat seasonic 750 watt plat all have really long warranties.  

I have been mining for 28-30 months.  They pay off in under a year as they all use less power then the server psu's.  

If the mining game fully dies I will use the psu's in pc builds

I have had the seasonic plats for a while started using them  with my gpus.  they are paid off  in power savings. The evga won't pay off for about 5 more months.

You guys do realize that watts=thermal energy=heat (at least when talking electronics)?
 

This is quite interesting. One S3 is producing 340W equivalent of heat, so should be similar to S1. However, i noticed that airflow seems to release much less heat than s1, so the rest of the heat is probably irradiated as IR from the metal casings. Perhaps, there is a difference how it relates to A/C. For example, IR radiation might pass throw glass windows. It would be interesting to check if S3 is emitting on any other wavelengths. Energy has to dissipate somehow, and it is not just an airflow in S3.
