Received new firmware from Bitmain- thank you. But to test it you need to put your miner into jeopardy and I'm not willing to burn up one of my miners right now. If Bitmain wants to ship me a beat up, old, dusty, used miner to test with I'd be more then happy to test it out completely in a home situation.

You raise a very interesting scenario...

Bitmain, if you are selling "brand new" units for $360, can you cut us a deal on your "old used" units for cheaper, provided they function to spec ? The dustier, the cheaper !

For testing purposes... of course...

EDIT: THE FUCK !? Just checked the page and they jacked the price of the S5's to $378 USD. Seriously... Fuck you, Bitmain. Your greed is despicable. Only in the world of Bitcoin is something like this considered acceptable. Time to start looking for a new hobby.

when the S5 was first released it was $300, the price keeps going up.
we need some competition, since it appears that spondoolies is out of the business of selling miners.

Decided to increase frequency just a little bit. All units running good and cool. 50c. On one miner I'm accumulating some HW errors. I've never overclocked and not the usual to do so, so new territory for me. Is having a HW error rate of %.015 to be concerned about? Seems it is the only one complaining. Just curious to see what the different HW error rates are out there.

Can you Screen shot that and post it here with http://imgur.com/ they can tell you better if they can see it

.

for that a mount of HwE is that one miner or all of them to gather and how long has it been running . HwE are very normal, for the S5 if it goes to 0.1 or higher, there might be a problem there are a few steps you can take to lower them but i would SS it so they can give you better advice .

The subject line needs to be changed. We are definitely past the $0.319/GH amount with the latest raise in price. With a strong USD and China's market correction and btc price rise, it makes no sense. And the same btc price doesn't hold water or else they would have just listed them in btc instead of $.

~$0.328/GH presently (plus shipping)

Is ~1.4 BTC the price BitMain is usually charging for miners?

I paid my first miner 1.34 BTC in April and the second one was 1.423 BTC, in May. Each was $340.

I've never seen S5s go over 1.5 BTC.

I paid $420 once Sad

I was just getting ready to buy 50 S5's. Thanks for raising your price AGAIN BitMain.

I don't think you are the only game in town. Your new pricing is prompting me to look around.

I'll give you a tip my friend .... if you were looking to make your purchase using BTC and have bitcoins stashed away, sell them and make your purchase from bitmain using USD (assuming there is no surcharge for buying in USD).

50 units @ 1.438 = BTC 71.9
50 units @ USD 378 = 18,900

BTC 71.9 @ USD 274.16 = 19,712.10
So you get to keep over $800 (of course, you'll have the shipping et al to add; also depends on the actual rate you can get for your BTC)

Where? ..

bitmain went up because BTC went up but they did put a little warning on there site that will happen .

Fair enough, if BTC goes up, we are used to the raising prices, but why keep their BTC rate at the lower rate thus making the item even more expensive in BTC (than the nominal USD 18 price rise)?
At their retained lower rate,
Old price was: $360 / 262.8 = BTC 1.377
New price is: $378 / 262.8 = BTC 1.438

At current rate (google)
New price should be: $378 / 274.16 = BTC 1.378

Which, at least in BTC, brings it back up to the old price. Hedging against the movements in the dollar is all well and good, perfectly understandable too. Blatantly price gouging buyers using BTC is despicable.

He is right ! They always raise the price when the value of bitcoin goes up but when it drops they never lower it !!!!!!!!!!!

You got a point there, but you missed the elephant in the room if you intended to buy with bitcoin. They have held the rate of USD to BTC at an older (lower 1 BTC = USD 262. Cool

rate despite the additional $18 increase; google currently states a price of 1BTC = 273 BTC . Truth be told, either way its a ripoff, but they are the ONLY game in town, so we'll have to grin and bear it.

The know this that's why they are doing it. come on spoondoolies come out with new chips I am so sick of BITMAIN aka SHITMAIN.

F**K THEM even if they are the only game in town I still wont buy from them. There going broke there just milking the cow but there not going to milk me !

I'm not taking up for bitmain but what makes you all think spoondoolies or any other vendor or supplier won't do the same thing that's how it is, they will .

IN fact they wil be higher in price. again I'm not taking up for bitmian they just will be .

Just recived my s5-s from warranty and one board still not working.

Wtf, why are you sending the bad boards back?

Where are you located? Which version of hash board you received?

Located in romania, last week i had shippment some boards to warranty to bitmain, they fix the boards and shipt them back but surprize... one board still not working.

why do they send bad boards? with the QC passed sticked on the board i had payed the DHL shippment to china very expensive.

I see, well you could contact bitmain international support and not Bitmain in China. You will spend less on shipping because they have service center near you.

Funny you mention "old used" units .... now they seem to have frozen the BTC to USD rate at $262.8 on their site (despite the fillip in the rate). What next, price rise from $360 for the "brand new" units ?
