are these really that much better than an s4 when you factor in the fact you have to hunt for a PSU ?

Nah... you don't need to factor in the hunt (or cost) of PSU - at least not according to Dogie

Quote from: dogie on March 10, 2015, 12:38:21 AM

A PSU is not a mining cost as its not consumed during the process of mining and value stays largely the same.

Jeez people are buying these at close to 2 BTC, i guess people still expect bitcoin to go up in the short term ?

Glad I ordered mine within hours, lot less than 2BTC. Anywho, 'hunt for a psu? Should also do that to cover the possibility of the one in the s4(s) dying. So far mine are running fine but:
The IBM DPS 2kw psu is perfect for an s4. My hungriest one reports in as pulling 1450-1500w from the wall...

That same PSU will feed 3 stock s5's cheaply and odds are will last near forever.. Search eBay for them

my jan purchase

can be traced to this large holding account

https://blockchain.info/address/1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V

and it looks like 191 purchased in the last 14 hours.

edit 220 purchased since 3//9/15 11:30 am UMC time or when it opened.

so 220 x 1.2 th = 264th also about 220 x 1.6 coins = 352 coins

an opinion this is slow sales.

first sale was this one

https://blockchain.info/tx/c385cca459650f8e72e0986d05cb75a65b8e85a335cafd0ce85f22d1114f795e

second sale was this one

https://blockchain.info/tx/b44638a54c46d3a753d16e1105c6c8354b3a95a285cd54161ded3f63eb456365

last sale is this

https://blockchain.info/tx/efdc1c393d155605c24a0507f5f7064f48caf09094e49cf7bd4a098585153467

grand total of 464 btc about 300 units sold

These in about 36 hours and these have a 20 day wait for shipping.

so 100 sell every 12 hours. Yeah this works well for those of us with gear in hand. Diff will stay low for another adjustment period and maybe coins will get up and over 325 usd.

I do admire anyone buying into a 20-23 day preorder at the current prices.

I will just watch and mine for now. Can't do anything else.

This is btc sales as for cc or bank transfer?

Hello Bitmain. Do you have any estimation on when an S6 will be available (if made), and the time frame?

I imagine it will be made available for sale sometime in the near future at ~~$949~~ ^{1 hour later price changed to} ~~$995~~ ^{1 hour later price changed to} ~~$1199~~ ^{1 hour later price changed to} $1299.

This just in, due to a phone call they received and some clouds in the sky, price will be $1699.

Agreed. I'm making a formal call of shenanigans against Bitmain.

Do not support their transparent price gouging. Additionally, I would recommend miners move off Antpool in favor of any other pool (Except EclipseMC because Fuck Butterfly Labs).

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's a move that clearly shows no respect to the miners.

Yup. Move off of Antpool if you mine there.

For sure no "consumers" should be supporting Ant and mining there, nor should any of us purchase their hardware anymore after this latest stunt. I have been wanting looking at the S5 for a while, but now I'm going to spent my money elsewhere.

I'm having an issue with a hosted S5. They changed my pools and i'm 100% everything is fine (Tested all the info at home) but they still show as dead pool.

Is there a kind of trick which you need to reboot the unit to make the change work ? I don't know if he only clicked save and not save and apply but still ...

thanks

You might try ssh'ing in, then 'screen -r', then hit 'P' which will bring up the pools list and change the data there. Make sure when you complete your changes to the pools you hit enter to go back to the hashing page, then hit "S" for setting, and the 'W' for write the config or next boot it will be back to what it was.

The info are correctly change (as i can see in some form of UI provided by the hosting service).

The question is, why would the pool stay as dead ? I guess the unit just need a reboot (or just a cgminer reboot)

I have no idea how he changes the pool setup, but he did it correctly. It just that the pool stay f***** dead.

thanks for the help ;-)

Bfl has sent 3 or 4 emails to me offering a monarch for sale since march 2nd

Ha, me too. And in the email they explained that they still haven't shipped miners ordered in 2013. Sign me up for a two year waiting list.

That was sarcastic for thoses who didn't get it.

Speaking of BFL, the price of an S5 once you factor in shipping and PSU isn't too far off the $/TH for a new Monarch. I find that hilarious.

I've moaned about Bitmain's price gouging in the past (which is what it is despite all the clever words), but this time doesn't really matter.

Anyone who carefully looks at the numbers realises it would never ROI at the old price, so it's irrelevant what they charge now.

"A change in competitor" = BS. The drop then rise of S5 miner price is simply because he likes to play games by speculating with bitcoin price in order to extract the most possible juice out of the miners and leave zero marginal benefit to miners because in his space he's a monopolist/oligopolist. Let's drop the bullshit once and for all.
