Hello Everyone,

S4 B1 has been already shipped out on Sept. 29th, and it is no shipping in the following days from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6th due to the Chinese Golden Week.
B2 will go on sale at 22:00pm Sept. 29th, shipping starts on Oct. 10th Beijing (UTC +8 Time Zone).

BITMAIN


price? Is S2 part of the larger assembly process and thus more reasonably priced? I can't honestly pay anything over 3BTC shipped if it uses 1400W

They don't make the S2 anymore. Did you mean B2 as in batch 2?

I like Bitmaintech and i have bought some miners from them the S1, S2, and S3 but i will let pass the S4. The best miner imo is the S3 i just love it Wink

I have some coupons for the S4 (200$ off) and i will sell them at 0.12 btc each (i also accept some other altcoins) . Pm me if interested. This is my first deal in btct Wink

Let me clear this up:

Myself and my customers were charged shipping fees after we already paid for S4 units up front.
We didn't find out about the average shipping charges  of 0.4 btc / $190 per unit until I received an email from Bitmain today.
Its in my best interest to advocate for my customers as ultimately its about doing good business.
EDIT:  Bitmain and I have resolved our issues.  Bitmain usually always makes things right.  Thank You.

good business is about selling bad investment? Damn, did you learn that from Jordan Belfort?


rare miner can be worth a lot as collectible item Smiley

I've talked to Bitmain about the 28nm chip since December of 2013.   These new AntMiner S4 units should really kick ass.   I estimate 1380-1400 watts at the wall for 2000 gh/s.
Heat should also be significantly less.

The .5watts/ghs is per chip, not at the wall.


Very Respectfully,

Didnt you idiot just post this BS yesterday?

I wish they dont refund shit, they love idiots like you. I bet you were gonna find suckers to buy these S4s off your hands right?




You can't even write English correctly.  Lastly, it also appears you haven't even read who I am.  So really it appears you are the fucking idiot.

I requested a refund on 2/5 units.  Bitmain was trying to charge me about 2 BTC for shipping 5 units.

So ~.4 BTC each.  Awaiting refund on 2 units.

That is bullshit.

Guys, how much is the  shipping free that bitmain charging you per unit?

I'm getting charged .3 to .46 btc per unit.

V/R,
GreaterNinja

0.8 BTC to Estonia.  I'm not willing to pay    this much and instead I bought a couple of SP20 from Spondoolies. Shipping only 160 USD each.

Will Bitmain pack each individual cards for shipping this time? My S2 looked like a train wreck when I got it.

Their new pack seems like the train wreck will not happen again for S4.

WANTED: Active dev to fix & re-write p2pool in C

These new AntMiner S4 units should really kick ass.

It would be helpful if Bitmain actually answered some of the many questions that prospective buyers have asked, instead of just guessing that they "should" kick ass. For example:

Are they still using the old cgminer version? If so, why?

Where is a link to the firmware?

Are these compatible with p2pool?

Plus the many others on this thread. Bitmain are selectively answering only a few of their customers questions whenever they log on, but ignoring most of them.

Come on Bitmain - let's have some answers & support please!!

Bitmain, do you have a decibel reading on the S4 yet? You warn:

* Stable but a little bit noisy

With those large fans and that server psu it appears this is geared more for a Data Center Environment could you please give a decibel reading for those who intend to run a S4 at home to decide if it is reasonable? Thanks.

considering that there is a free or $0.99 apple iphone app that does it-why not post an actual reading?

it will be 70db or more that is why

then it is not a home based miner, but too underpowered to be a datacenter horse.
Next gen datacenter miner will have to be ~30Th for $10K

Does it hurt? ........pulling that straight out of your ass?
