I see only one thing with the S5 .. having chained chips to drop the voltage, you either run the whole chain or you stop the whole chain.
I'm praying for you guys, that, if you buy one or more of those .. "let the chips be all good!" .. and "Good Luck!" in tweaking the chain voltages.

How many chips are in each chain? the whole board (30 chips?) or less?
Each board has 30 chips; each chain is 15 pairs. At 12V it divides to a Vcore of 0.8V per chip.

However, SP20 is a known performer, while quality of S5 is unknown, but I expect it to be good.
What makes you expect that?..

Any idea how much UK customs will bite from that s5?
The usual, 20% VAT

Dogie will speak on behalf of BITMAIN and will not criticize BITMAIN in these threads. Dogie still reserves the right to criticize BITMAIN in his other threads. Both parties acknowledge that this relationship has no impact whatsoever on BITMAIN’s rating or standing in “Dogie’s ‘Manufacturer Trustworthiness” thread.
This means I won't sit here and reply to every post saying Bitmain is a scam, don't buy from Bitmain etc etc, in this thread. It does NOT prohibit me from saying that in my own threads, if that is what I believe. It also has absolutely no impact on their rating in the Manufacturer trustworthiness thread [in which Bitmain just went down 10 points].
No offence but your contract literally states "these threads" as the definition of those you will not criticize them in, I sure hope the phrase "these threads" is defined elsewhere in your contract. If not you put yourself in a piss poor legal position, regardless it's conflict of interest 101 even if you make this claim.. Giving you investment of time I get it, however recognize it's human nature to be bias toward someone paying you, even if you consciously try not to be.

Of course.

Everyone loves TOPLESS right? 
S5 batch 1 will even be the Bottom Less!!... (I thought it had the bottom plate but I think I was wrong. I just realized that....)
Side will have the cover.
(not being a troll...)
I will say, I think that this is a great idea... he benefits to those living in colder climates , it's good.
Merry Christmas!

Bottom = YES
Top = NO (Open Top Design)
Top = NO (Open Top Design)
So have we heard definitively whether or not there is a top and bottom to this unit?

Although, take your pick...bottoms or no bottoms...as he posted later, still pretty fluid right now.

it doesn't have a lid?
Specs ok but don't like the open design. I wish the price were lower also. 
It does have a lid, just for show. Otherwise the pictures would be identical to S3
You might want to read what Bitmain says before posting. No top or bottom.
You might consider taking your own advice. BM responded and said there is a bottom, but not a top. An "open top design." ;-)
Yep...I read that and forgot as I posted. I stand corrected.

If they lowered the price to $425 WITH shipping included, I'm sure that they could sell a good lot.
Peers into crystal ball Hmmm, I see $450 USD and $60 shipping per unit minimum 2 per order.

The top post says 450 .. EU people, please add shipping and then 21% VAT cheap ..
NOTE: I get biased even when they don't pay me.

Hello all,
Bitmain has employed me to help liaise with the community and later provide technical support. They have done this in order to help provide:
1) timely technical support
2) provide better feedback (if I don't know, I can find out from the people within Bitmain who will)
3) provide product and sales input from you guys directly into the company. If something is going wrong, YOU can fix it
4) provide native English press releases - less ManderEnglish, more sense.
This is a paid position, however it will in no way affect my independence or freedom in being critical towards Bitmain outside of this thread. My contract specifically stipulates:
This means I won't sit here and reply to every post saying Bitmain is a scam, don't buy from Bitmain etc etc, in this thread. It does NOT prohibit me from saying that in my own threads, if that is what I believe. It also has absolutely no impact on their rating in the Manufacturer trustworthiness thread [in which Bitmain just went down 10 points].

So price will be 450 or 418USD?
December 22, 2014, 08:02:57 PM
Wifi, please use Wi-Fi Bridge to operate your miner.
Will the S5 have WiFi by adding an antenna like the S3?

Later Edit: This brings back memories .. During high-school, I was building guitar amplifiers for the band I was singing in .. since the budget was limited, I skipped the potentiometers in the pre-amp. So we used them for a start maxed out .. 150W sinus per 8 ohms channel. I had to eventually add the parts in later. It was fun for about 3 days tho'

@raskul
Let us look into what we can do for the projection...
If you have your projection, would you please share with us? (Here is fine!)
We'd love to see how our customers see ROI Projections.
Its all speculation as none of us at Bitmain has a crystal ball
If you have one for sale and if it cooks me breakfast and make me some tea, too, let me know!!! love to have one

December 22, 2014, 07:35:31 PM
however, i'd still like to discuss expected ROI, unless that's off-topic?
Why yes, yes it is. You can create an ROI thread in the mining speculation subforum if you want.
no problem. thanks for clarifying.

it's late. now that you have brought up the subject.
advertising went out over a month ago.. i can only presume (and working in that field) that there have most likely been a few technical hiccups in the timeline of the chip - or the unit itself... this does not bode well to the prospective batch1 buyer, does it?

Print advertising requires lock in for printing in advance,
Not in my experience... I can have an advert in the majority of the national newspapers on quite short notice. I also work on a 14:30 deadline for edition with a lot of national newspapers. THAT IS 2.30pm deadline for NEXT DAY publication. I don't know from which arse you are pulling these comments but I am sure it is not Mr Y. You don't need to book in advance for the target market you require... you are not restricted to ONE publication.
I'm afraid your comment is indicative of your lack of knowledge in RW marketing.
and that advert was specifically designed to be a teaser.
that is just an excuse, i'm sure.
Do you not think it takes time plan batches of X,XXX miners to be made and ship out seamlessly? Do you see any missed delivery dates on the S5? No?
see above. Jump to:
