What about letting me use some of these S3 coupons I have laying around?
How about using the S4 coupons. LOL. I'll buy a container load.
Got those as well.

Another thing that really worries me is the chained design. Does it mean if one chip fails, the whole board fails?
So instead of getting 00XX0X00 we get -----------------?
Please tell me I'm wrong.

Hi, there will be two kinds of possible fails. Both are possible.
But string design makes the PCB very simple, which left far more less possible reasons for the hardware to go wrong. That is what we have seen in the S3++, a private batch which use chained design with BM1382 chip.
Thank you for your reply. But like you said, there is still a chance of failure. With the current S4 for example. Even if one chip is completely dead. I can still use it. But with the chained design if one chip goes silent, that's it. End of story.
I like the power efficiency but your price tag.. and the chance of having one miner out of action just because of 1 single chip... I don't know, it's nagging me in my head...

only ~$40 per unit shipping UPS to US if you order three.
$84.66 for 2 x S5 to FL, USA...

yep, the more you order, the less you pay per unit for shipping. I priced in 6 units, then they are ~$27-28 each shipping, but would like to see if these are reliable.

Would be nice if units could be sold by UK reseller and gets stock in cheap and no Import duties as would like to buy some of these S5 however would kill me on import duties and tax.
Get your units hosted somewhere in the US.. There are plenty of places offering hosting..

In Beijing Time's this afternoon, we will issue it, thanks!
Any coupons for us customers that purchased before?
At US$900 including shipping (for a pair), the S4 is still a better buy with the coupons. I like the S4 as it comes with a PSU. Many will disagree with me but I hate having a ton of wires running around the place. The S4 is neat with only 2 cables. 1 in 1 out.
Yes. Power efficiency is better but (even if I have a PILE of PSU) add the cost of a PSU, way too expensive. The gain is not inviting unless you're running a megafarm, then the cost of electricy even if reduced by 1cent is alot.

Well, just ordered 2 of them to give a test run. Maybe that will help me decide on my year-end purchases.

Bitmain, for those of us who opted for S5 coupons instead of L1 refunds, when can we expect those to be credited? Thanks.
Yes.
Thank you, but when?

buy and hold:
1. bores me to tears-I have much more fun trading stocks on a stock market, so mining is clearly more fun.
2. mining is a stretched out affair, essentially you also buy and hold if you are covering your miner and electricity cost with $$, but accumulate bitcoin. You get much better averaging by mining vs buying in lump sums.
+10
You can also resell used miners on Ebay and recoup some of your investment. The resale value of most mining gear is actually pretty decent assuming the hardware is not junk or completely obsolete.
I sold all of mine and came out pretty well. Oddly enough the S3s came out higher than the S3+ upgrades. I guess the shiny case is mo betta in their eyes.
