Is this the correct link to order S5's from Amazon via Bitmain ?

http://www.amazon.com/AntMiner-S5-~1155Gh-0-51W-Bitcoin/dp/B00RBV2OE6

Notice there is a $100 premium purchasing via Amazon ? Looking to acquire another unit to test extreme underclocking and getting an S5 running quiet enough to run in a bedroom.

Wow, those resellers are lighting quick when it comes to stealing my pictures. That was... 2 days this time? I don't see the Bitmain listing any more, it may have been a test or will resume later.
I thought Amazon automatically groups listings together and uses the same pictures. So if Bitmain or anyone used your pictures Amazon would still have the pictures up.

Why not just put a copyright / watermark on your pictures after you take them. Embed it in the picture.

Bitmain used their own pictures in the initial listing, or had no pictures - I can't remember but mine didn't even exist then. Images are inherently copyrighted unless stated otherwise [granting an open license]. In the only two places they're published, both state that my images are copyrighted. I'm still fighting not water marking stuff because then it ruins them for the other 98% of law abiding citizens.

File a lawsuit against Amazon...  Grin

Has anyone bought from Bitmaintech before from the UK. I know you will have to pay VAT 20% on any bitcoin mining equipment but I don't know how to go about doing this?
I really want to buy an S5!  Undecided

You purchase like normal. At some point during delivery, UPS or DHL will tell you there's some VAT to pay. DHL you can pay online in advance (they'll text you), UPS you can pay cash on delivery or call up to pay on the day.

Thought my pair of S5's would ship on 08 Jan. but got notice they shipped yesterday (via BitMain on Amazon).

Pretty sure the stuff on amazon is an unofficial reseller.

No, they were official Bitman sales of B2 & B3 (at a small markup.) with the same stated shipping dates.

Yes, my mistake it was supposed to be 04 Jan. (not 08 Jan.) and they ran the money and gave a shipping number on 31 December.  It was though BitMain direct via Amazon.  Paid $480 each before it went up to $530 something and now they're only available via aftermarket sellers (no more BitMain direct).

Interesting.  Label created on 31 Dec., shipped on 02 Jan. from Kansas City, expected delivery date Wednesday.

Go ahead and buy one and the manner you'll be charged VAT / import duty is dependent on the carrier you use.

1. DHL - They'll notify you of the duty due + their handling charges as soon as they get the unit and you can pay via debit / credit card before delivery. In my experience, I paid the invoice on the day I got the notification and received the unit in 2 days.

2. UPS - Just wait for your delivery and have ready at hand either cash (drivers don't like this), a cheque or a debit /credit card to pay your duties + their charges. For the latter, the driver will give you a number to call and make payment. You will be notified of the charges when the delivery reaches your door and only after payment is completed will you get your unit. In my experience, the unit took 5 days.

3. EMS - I have no personal experience from these guys as they have just been re-added for the S5, but I have heard stories that they sometimes "forget" to charge import duties and therefore no handling charges, but I'd err on the side of a UPS'esq service.

Depending on the carrier, you will gen an e-mail telling you how much you will need to pay the driver or a website you need to pay at first.

my S5 dead.

 Cry

foreseen it coming. n'mind.

Any info?

one of the little caps on the top of the unit went hot-red, then it went off with a puff of smoke.
It gave a smell of electrical burning (which I quite like) but not a good sign.

going up to test it today with a range of PSU's.

it had been running alongside a heavily underclocked SP20 on an EVGA1600 gold for around 3 - 4 days and I had the S5 clocked waaaaay low at 218... so this shouldn't have happened.. i'm a very cautious miner, due to the fact that my miners are in a relative's garage and the last thing i'd need is a fire in the building.

will update the situation later, but what-with the burning... i'm not optimistic.

well s-3's and s-1's have popped a cap or two.  not a lot but it has happened.

of the 30-40 s-1 and s-3 units I have had.

 one had a bent cap half soldered cap  and the unit would not run.  

So popping a cap on bitmaintech gear is not new.  But it is not common like the prisma's from Asic Miner.

Sounds like you had a runaway thermal like the prisma's would do.  you had your miner run up to 80 c if I recall a few posts back. 

and it did not shut down IIRC .

The Bitmain direct sales on Amazon were about a week ago.  If you look back through this thread you will see the announcement.  There was a link from the Bitmain site on batch 2 for about two days.  They were about $485 delivered in the US.

Great way to sell dollars and buy BTC, even if the b/e will be a bit higher depending on electricity.

Yes, especially if you have an Amazon credit account with free financing for 12 mo  Cool
I have one coming from this buy, interesting point of origin is CONIFER, CO, US but the pickup location was Kansas City, MO. Well maybe they did make a bulk shipment to the US for this distribution.
