Hmmm, seems like BITMAIN just used the controller and two hashing boards from the S4 Huh?

and made the S5 out of it.

I ordered 4 S3+ and one of them had a crooked cap that made smoke pour out of the unit, the 2nd DOA unit just made a spark when I plugged it in. That's a 50% defect rate out of the gate! There is nothing wrong with my power supply or electrical as everyone including bitmain is suggesting over and over to me. I used a 20 amp single breaker on each G2 EVGA 1300 with just 3 miners on it with stock PCI-E connectors that worked fine on all my other S3, which should be more than enough. I ran regular S3s on this setup since June.  I am sorry, but bitmain has to do something to really restore my confidence here. I can understand the S3+ going bad after a few months, but 2 of right away out of the box? Even though I have the photos as evidence, its still feels like no one believes me, it MUST have been something I have done wrong and not anyone at bitmain. Very frustrating. I am sending them back, even after they see the smoke pouring out and the spark from the other unit, they probably will still want to blame me for it.

One word - SPONDOOLIES! Israeli made, no bullshit, just works.

no the chips are different. the s-5 is very efficient for power much better then the s-4.

I did a review for the s-5 and it is very close to the sp20. 

  2 s-5's are 900 shipped to my door in the USA and 2 sp20's are 1000 shipped to my door in the USA.  You can do a lot of comparisons of the two.

For me in my home using about 10 pieces I give the sp20 a very small edge. For others the s-5 will be better.

Well, seems BMT changed things but are still giving us a bit of a big FU !

https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020141015100808946Nj1LM03y0650

$149 MOQ 2 = $300, Gee BMT thx for pulling out the broom handle a bit but it's still stuck up my ass pretty good.

300 + 135 to ship = 435 you may as well buy the s-5

yep. 2.56 S3's are required for same GH. =
$385
$135 shipping (for 2 only)
520 Total

vs

S5
$408
$47.90 shipping
455.90 Total

Include efficiency, it makes no sense to buy the S3's at a higher cost than the s5's. You are actually losing money.

$60,000 MOQ for the bulk S3+ units is insane.

make a pack of 25 units at $125 each and ill bite.

Will see if it works out in price. I think the main thing is the shipping, even if its pallet sized its going to have to go via air.


To return to the correct thread subject title.

read this and sneezed out my cup of tea! Cheesy BRILLIANT !!! Cheesy

Bitmain - where to begin.......... you suck!
Seems you only get $115 per unit if you got $5k to blow.

I just think it's funny BMT's way of saying ty to the little guys that keep them running is offering the MOQ of two units @ $149 per.

An MOQ of two @ $115 per would be nice but still sort of screws the little guy who's got just enough BTC saved for one unit.

5k$ ? That's closer to 58k$
Well, w/e it's close to I still made a point lol

If you want to greatly reduce the dust intake on the S3+, this might just be the item (to substitute with the front fan grill).  http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Filter-Cooling-FF123B/dp/B00ARB5E8U/ref=pd_sim_e_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=17TF269TN9NWFT2XP716

I saw a new firmware.  Any news about it?
Should have the bugs fixed, its the same as the beta firmware that's been in testing for the last few days.

When I updated(Beta) my two S3(not +) I put them consistently at 500 G.  I then messed around and did some frequency checking, and haven't been able to get back to that consistent 500 G.  I'll update them now with the latest update.
