Beware. This is different than every other product that Bitmain have sold in the past. Shipping is NOT included in the price unlike past products.

And what's with the misleading efficiency chart? The text clearly states that it is .69w/GHs but the chart show .4w/GHs.

Hi xstr8guy,

Clarified it here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/antminer-s4-discussion-and-support-thread-796839

Does it mean it will be possible to underclock/undervolt it via the user interface and get the 1008 GHz @ 481W performance?

I see that people are buying them... how crazy it is ? I mean if you are using 2.5 BTC to buy the 2 th that would make you .9 btc you just lost about 1.7 btc may as well just buy the bitcoin with cash... 2 more months at this rate and bitcoin mining will be dead and 51% attack would be possible... POW is the flaw of bitcoin i believe...

are you fcking stupid? Ever heard of equilibrium? Mining is not dead, only dumbasses like you wont sustain mining.

I'm glad people are buying them so I can buy them used for a lot cheaper a couple of months from now! Cheesy

Not positive why people would sell them if they had not made ROI, seems like you may have a flawed logic .

For all you Ballers and High Rollers I have coupons for sell for only 1.25 btc each. Since you aren't going to ROI why not do it big? Grin

So is anyone willing to admit that they've actually bought one? Grin

I bought one, and maybe I am the only one that is willing to admit that.

Well... I am betting against the S4 due to pricing, but not against my fellow miner. In fact, I commend you for being willing to stand up against the many pages of unhappiness and acknowledging that you are carrying on the pioneering spirit of mining against the odds. I saved up 3.00 BTC in anticipation of the S4 release, having decided that 3.00 was the most I would spend, and then was thwarted by the price coming in over 3.9 including shipping.

I ended up saving some coin by not buying the S3 until the plus was announced. I got a better deal and better equipment... even if a worse difficulty. After seeing the calculations, I am hoping to pick up a used S4 in 2-3 months for 2.5 or less once the first generation of S4 owners become frustrated and sell off their miners to regain what they can from them while they still have value.

It's like buying a previously leased a car. I'm letting the first owner take the hit on it from the car lot finance guy, and then I'll pick it up affordably once it's got some miles on it.

Interesting but flawed logic. An S4 in 2 or 3 months will have so little value because of difficulty adjustments. If you're willing to pay 2.5 BTC for it then, then you've made an even worse decision than buying it now. And buying now is a horrible decision if you have even the slightest interest in recouping your investment.

Even with free electricity you wouldn't get all your money back. These manufacturers must have gotten together and made a deal with one another to keep a certain price point. I'm not sure why anyone would spend that kind of money for only 2TH? It just doesn't make any sense to buy something that's supposed to make you a little money, but guaranteed not to and you still buy it? Maybe drugs or something?

Or you can wait until BTC price rises back to $600.00 whichever comes first to purchase including shipping for less than 3 BTC you have reserved for S4 miner. Grin

i have one S4 coupon for BTC0.4

anyone want to buy?? Cheesy

Too bad only you can cash in the coupon. I had coupon from Bitmain that my mate wanted to use but Bitmain said NO! So, I used the coupon to buy my mate the antminer and got reimbursed.

Um, they are transferable now...

Still selling 2 for .2 btc ea!

You are correct. I just saw on my coupon section and there is button to donate.
I have AntMiner S4 Coupon 400 USD so I may just buy the S4 since it will only cost me $1050 + shipping USD

they will cut production and lower prices to get rid of stock (all while mining until they sell ofcourse) and push this under the rug

No rug ... they'll go into the racks at HashNest
