For a miner in my home am I better off with S5? I am afraid S4+ is to much.

Which one should I go for?

at this point in time if you dont already have any dont buy any.

nothing you can buy right now will make you any profit. even if you dont pay for power its still not worth it.

if you are absolutlely set on getting a bitcoin miner, you can find a used s3 cheap.. they are usually around 70$.

a s3 will net you just over 1.10$ per day at stock speeds. keep in mind it uses about 370 watts at the wall.. so you are looking at a cost of .88 cents per day at .10c per KWH.

BS

The S5 does generate a profit. I have bought 3 and ROI on ~1.5 already. I do not compare to dollars only to BTC. I bought one in January and two more in early March. I pay 9.2 cents per KWH for juice too. If you are using them inside they are loud unless you mod them with fans but you give up your warranty when you mod. My earnings from AntPool as of right now are 2.25 BTC but I have earnings from a variety of other pools too that would bring the total to ~2.9 BTC. Too lazy to go dig them all up.

All 3 are still in great working order so I could cash out on eBay and have a tidy profit.

Good luck.

When I first purchased my S5 the hardware errors were very low (circa 100 in 24 hours) and as time has gone by the amount of errors has risen considerably as noted in the attached image. First of all, is that amount normal/safe?

Yes that's perfectly fine, its 0.005% of shares, ie 1 in 20,000.

And secondly, I know hardware does degrade over time but I've always kept mine in the 45-60C temperature range so I'm curious to know whether it's common for miners to degrade after a period of say 6 months to a year?

While we don't have much historical data, if they get past the first month then the majority of stable hardware will outlast its utility for the most part.

S5 Batch 5 is available to order now

I guessed right

. People need to keep in mind timezones. Once China was awake they set what ever stopped the sales back in motion

.

Honestly I could be better at it. But looking at other countries times, and holiday's is a smart thing to do if something is wrong. Just as a general rule.

BATCH 5 SOLD OUT again

Interesting that it already happened. Maybe we can get lucky and get batch 6 with lower price

. I can dream at least!

It is very early in China, so if they might just need to look at it if was enough orders and switch back on with new shipping dates.

All just guesses guess we will see.

get tap and die kit . those kits remove screws but like some one said it destroys the screw and you may need to re tap the hole to a bigger screw depends on how care full you are when you remove it and how bad it was striped in the hole .At least that was what it was called a long a time ago it may have another name now . i haven't used a kit in a few years .

Finally got it loose.

Any idea when S5 will be available again? Will there be another batch?

Probably only Bitmain can say.

What exactly the deal whit batch 6, its only for bulk buyers?

It was partially for "3rd generation chip BM1384. Due to International Labor Day, no shipping will be arranged from April 30th till May 3rd. April 28 is the last shipping date for bulk buy orders and April 29 is the last shipping date for small orders...."

So I guess we see next if they have something up their sleeve or of they will do another batch. It could just be they are filling bulk orders from the holiday and catching up.

I was lucky, I got 4 fan Delta ;DTFC1212DE-SP07 for $ 36 including shipping

thats the fan i got to pair up to the stock fan, it flows alot of air.
the fan i got tho was reversed pwm, so i had to make an adapter.

Sure you get long enough wires??.... the ones on S5's connect to the PCB instead of the HashBoards.
Lot greater travel distance for the wire to connect.
Back then the S1 & S3 fans were interchangeable, the S5 killed that.
The difference is about 2 inches in wire length.
You may need to get your hands dirty or buy the fans directly from Bitmain.
Soldering's no big deal but was kind of stupid to omit the hashboard fan connectors.
Just hope they are long enough, then I'll know what to hunt.

Those 4,000 CFM fans ain't cheap, let alone with enough rope...

the wires were perfect length..
the fan i got use a reverse pwm signal. so instead of 0v full speed, and 5v stop, its 0v stop and 5v full speed..

im not sure if the fans he got are the same.

this was the fan i got
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L5XEKOS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Awesome! I do have 2 boards to adapt those fans, clusters of 3, I got two because I intended on getting more C1's and upgrade fans/rad.
Day I went to order C1... Sold Out! lol
So I overspent for an S5 but that's fine, better one of those than 5x S1's. Cool

That's brilliant!! Been looking for this for ages.... well... in bitcoin mining this means a few weeks. Grin

Yet again, amazon ain't normally my place to buy computer parts.

Thanks, both of ya's, now I have a plan of attack but it's still kinda cool right now, hottest temperature in the mine is only 35c...
Besides, I'll be putting in an air blower next month but adding a second fan should increase resale value... plus in case the blower fails.

I'm more worried about temperature than I am with the noise.
My Miner's white noise help me sleep at night.

Use the stock fan and just put this on it:

I have used this for several miners and it lets you adjust the speed/sound/temp ratio just fine. Also, tape two of these in a line and put it on top of your miner to quiet it down even further. Make sure it extends past the fans a little bit:
