What I was curious about is how long it takes for payment to be confirmed and they send an email to me? I already received an email telling me I have one hour to make my purchase before cancelation. I completed that purchase about 2 minutes after receiving that email.
Within a few hours, usually. Don't worry, as long as you sent the correct amount of BTC to the address they provided, you'll be fine.
What did you buy, S3 or S4? I am sitting on 13 S3 coupons you could have used as well as S4 coupons probably won't use. We could have reached a deal both would have been happy with.
LOL. Are you upset with this guy for not contacting you in order to buy a coupon from you before he made his purchase?
Not that it is any of your business but he mines at a pool I do and I have had several conversations with him and would have given him a coupon NC.
Not sure if it was you or not, sic, who had the S4 coupon that expired like October 24th, which was no good for me. Oh well, too late now. Probably too late for the next one. I will get another S4 as soon as I earn enough to get one. I should earn BTC a little faster than before. It's like adding 4 and a half S3's to my farm when I get one of these S4's.
I hope I have no issues with this S4 when I receive it. I have been a bit hesitant after seeing a youtube video of an S4 smoking and the difficulty issue on pools that start low and slowly wind up higher. I was going to wait for batch 3 but I just couldn't wait any longer. LOL

At this point, I don't think you are going to have any problems at all with your S3 (edit: S4, not S3) when you receive it. BITMAIN has sorted out the bad PSUs. Just make sure that you don't try to power it with a circuit that is already using a decent amount of wattage. In fact, I would recommend dedicating just one single circuit to the S4 and the S4 only. 1400W can be a lot for some residences to handle (Im assuming you are a home miner), especially if you already have a bunch of S3s connected to the same circuit.
EDIT: You will have no issues with vardiff pools as long as you use ckolivas's firmware, its somewhere buried in this thread, I think somewhere between pages 40 and 50. you just ssh into your miner and:
wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s4/4.6.1-141018/cgminer
mv /usr/bin/cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer.bak
chmod +x cgminer
mv cgminer /usr/bin/cgminer
/etc/init.d/cgminer.sh restart
I think that's it. I typed it all from memory, because any time you do a power cycle, the firmware goes back to the original, and you have to repeat the above process. Hopefully at some point down the road BITMAIN will release firmware that will fix this.
