So basically instead of sending a refund of the difference they are sending you a coupon instead?

To use the coupon, you will have to make a future purchase and they make even more money... genius.

This company reminds me of Apple Inc.

Very savvy marketing they have...

They're clearly not dumb, but combined with my loss of my earlier coupon, I can't say I'm at all pleased with them! I likewise question that BTC purchase is an advantage over VISA! It's appearing to me that BTC accepting company's very particularly take advantage of consumers that are willing to pay BTC. How can that be construed to be good for BTC's future? Strikes me as a form of scam!

Hi, I also bought 3/10, yes, apply to Bitmain and most likely you'll receive coupons!

They have S5 now at $369 for March 30 release. Shocked

Yeah, I just emailed their support people (Janet and Yoshi) for a BTC refund since they dropped the price the day following my BTC payment for two!

I'm told by Janet I'm awarded coupons (my previous $30 coupon was cancelled by Bitmain when I was unable to make wallet payment for an earlier S5 order -- my wallet locked!) Is this a proper deal for a one day old Bitmain specified US$100 net change in price? And what are the coupons good for, I'm done with ordering S5, I'd next look at the next generation! Strikes me a bit presumptuous -- is this what Bitcoin brings? Would this be acceptable for a non-BTC purchase? Are we all fools (just asking)?

I see the $369 price but have not been able to put any in the Cart - The screen past the 2nd 'captcha shows their transaction website to be offline.

Notice that the DDOS reward is up to 110 BTC - Hopefully that's enough to motivate someone into action !

you can change the subject line at least temporarily

A better solution would be they lower the price back down.

What am I missing here? 0,25$/GH wth 1155 means 288,75 USD. Bitmain's site states 369 USD ( 1.279 BTC )

That was true when the S5 first came out (and the thread started), i.e batch 1 .... what you see on the bitmain website is batches 5 & 6 (a few months down the road!)

you are missing that they don't care about this (since they never corrected it)
BTW, it does not matter anyway since you ALSO pay for shipping and that 0.25 number never included shipping anyway.

Will this be a good PSU to power 2 5s?

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151109

1250 W SeaSonic X-1250 ( SS-1250XM2 ) 1250W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready.

There are 8 PCI Express Connectors

Not overclocked that should be fine to run two S5s.

I run at a frequency of 400

I would suggest get a PSU from Sidehack (http://www.gekkoscience.com) If you can feed it 240v, you can get one for 20% of the Seasonic. Otherwise, get 2 of his smaller supplies. I personally like the idea of 2 psu's over a single. If you have two and one goes bad, you're still running at 50%. If you have a single psu for 2 miners, if it goes bad, you're 100% dead.

Let me get on your server....I'll have them running away in 20 minutes, because every packet that makes it back will contain malware for their computer, not to mention being automatically blacklisted on the firewall for 6 months. Yes, the entire subnet. Been dealing with ipchains and firewalls for years. Very good at Linux security.

Not that I don't believe you, and I'm certainly not pretending to be a network specialist, but if it were that simple wouldn't DDOSing be a thing of the past?

Not that simple. Some attacks only last an hour, not days. It all depends on how the system admins know what they are doing. Can't just put a caching service up and say you are protected. Need to log into the server itself, review the logs and know where to look to find the right solution. I have no idea what kind of service Bitmain uses to run his site. His own server or has it hosting somewhere. But if an attack renders your site useless for a few days and you have tried all that you can then you need to hire some big boys to take over and clean house.
