What is the overclock speed? It doesn't really seem worth it for a few extra gig if it takes more power up. Also curious what the power drawl would be for overclocking. I don't have mine yet, or I would answer these questions. I will use one 1200W power supply, so I plan too hook both up to one power supply. I actually have two 1200w, but when they come back in stock maybe order another 2 for that power supply...

Bitmain stated in an earlier post that they only had an S2 farm and 1 S3 for testing. They could be lying who knows. The recent 24% could have been from other mining hardware being turned on and tested. Also if people are getting S3's and the parts smell brand new, then that's another indication that haven't mined with the S3's. It would take multiple weeks of running the S3's for the difficulty to raise 24%. I would think a couple weeks worth of use would be noticed by customers receiving their miners.

I do not think so. Their S2 farm is already sold empty. Yesterday I got my last S2. It was apparently used, cleaned, and the main was very scratched.  He was used  with Rack Mounts, because of the mounting points were bent out.  The housing cover fixing poits was different from all my previous miners. I've bought them before 15 units  at different times and had not seen this disain  before.
I think that they are now S3 farm.

UPS or whoever your 'shipping' company is are concerned more about their flight costs than your difficulty rising.... Still knowing that your S3's are on the way is better than some of us whose stuff is still unshipped.

Im from Europe so bitmain told me they could send me the invoice in EUR to my email(they generate the invoice in USD for UPS) so once the miner is shipped out i will ask them for the invoice and they will email it to me Smiley

well I am batch 1, so I paid 1.5btc.  1.5 btc as of the date ordered (361 GBP PER BTC) was 541.50.  However at todays USD to GBP rate 1.71= 546.30.

So I am actually being charged at a rate 5 GBP more than I paid....

Anyway, whats a fiver between friends?

I did say to the guy that I paid in bitcoin so actually it had no usd value, but he didnt buy it.

It obviously has USD value if you pay in XBT which trades for USD  Grin

Customs can only tax you according to the law, which states X% of actually payed price, so they have to prove that you actually payed a higher amount if they want to tax you higher.

Bitmain has been declaring their miners at the purchase price for quite some time now.

If for some unknown reason customs charge more than the percentage for VAT based on the purchase price, you can get that additional money back.

However, do not forget that the carrier ie UPS charges around 10€ for the customs service on top.


Its difficult to get such a refund. The first thing is that bitmaintech issues no invoice.
Blockchain info and the order page is the only proof. I doubt whether they will accept it.
Move over its bitcoin and so you need some luck if you are dealing with non-bitcoin friendly officer.
BitMainTech should allow CC/paypal payment from the next sale.
