That was either fast or a great marketing strategy.
Or they only had 20 in stock.

So we need to buy 3x PSUs to power this thing?
I don't think you can use only 2x PSUs. According to bitmain's product info

Do not connect more than one PSU to the same hashing board!
If you have 2 PS with enough +12VDC power output, use one to power 5 blades the other to power 4 blades + controller + the FANS (per the published specs it looks like Bitmain might have gone to higher-airflow Delta 4200RPM fans on the S5+ vs. the 4000 RPM fan on the S5, so probably 14-16 Amps JUST for the fans, possibly as high as 20A.)
Quote
Customers must buy the set of three modules as one unit; Bitmain is not selling the individual modules of the S5+.
This is VERY unfortunate, there are folks that would be interested in a "same form factor as the S5" 1/3d version of this.

the so called best ever cgminer never neither increased my earnings nor reduced my electric costs over the bitmain fork
Limitations of the hardware mostly, possibly a DRIVER update might help a hair but there isn't much you CAN do to "optimise" an ASIC-based unit once it's in production without a complete redesign of the hardware itself.

I went with bitmaintech's new hashnest offering instead
I got 10th for 6.66 btc.
Frankly I rather have this unit but the wife would kill me.
The price is good 2375 usd for 7.7 th
with shipping to usa 2473.37 keeps under that 2500 barrier. (thank you)
As for my choice of 10th for 6.66 btc
bitmaintech has sold 10,514 1th contracts for PACMIC v3 in the last 20 hours
that is about 7000 btc in sales.
It would be interesting to see what turns out to be the better buy.

phil, I cannot really get that pacmic stuff.
You pay for Th, then they will pay you until principal is paid, then they say the machine belong to them.
So, where is your profit?
Is today the first day and is there a pacmic thread?
Thanks
https://www.hashnest.com/contracts
they pay two payments one is interest (your profit) one is contract payback.
it comes to about 12-14% per year. so 1 or 1.1 percent a month. my 6.66 btc should earn .21 btc profit in about 75 days. so in theory 6.66 btc will be 6.87 btc
I am getting 0.00006912 BTC/day (6912 satoshis) for one contract (1Th), which is equal to ~0.0021 BTC/mo per contract.
Hence, 10 contracts (10Th) will get someone 0.021 BTC/mo in "interest" on 6.66 btc spent.
Total expected interest on 6.66 BTC invested in 75 days (until the contracts are finished)=~0.051 BTC
As a result, i am getting a different interest rate than you.
What is wrong with my math?
I will send you a pm
I'm tempted to buy one of these S5+ miners, but my lack of faith in Bitmain firmware is preventing me from doing so. I think I'll wait for the first batch to arrive with guinea pigs customers & see what the feedback is before making up my mind. Hopefully they have finally managed to find someone who knows how to write their firmware properly using the mainline cgminer instead of their terrible fork using crazy settings.
Fair enough as to waiting on the guinea pigs to report back on how these monsters behave in the wild ... though I'd take the notion that bitmain write terrible firmware for their rigs with a pinch of salt (last I checked the so called best ever cgminer never neither increased my earnings nor reduced my electric costs over the bitmain fork ... ever!). I'm just frustrated there is no alternative mining software for their rigs readily available .... and the noise from this beast of-course.
..... and the heat!
Don't forget it's a 3000W heater in disguise as a Bitcoin miner.
I can deal with the heat about oct 15th or so. not now. So I think I will pass.

pacmic: it looks like it gives you 69120 satoshis/day in bonus per Th (0.185/day or $5.5/mo). So, 10Th=$55/mo bonus, which comes down to ~1.8% interest.
They don't include the cost of mining, so it looks like contract will be paid off in ~73 days if difficulty increase is 1.57% on average.
So, you'll get ~$13 of BTC in bonuses per 10 TH (6.66 BTC), so investing ~6.7 BTC will get you 0.048 BTC in profit in ~73 days
The risk is that difficulty might increase faster and you never get your 6.66 BTC back completely

So we need to buy 3x PSUs to power this thing?
Or just two of these https://www.protact.net/netzteile/6/servernetzteil-mit-2.250-watt-und-12-pci-express-stromanschluessen?c=8 (I am guessing).

I don't see why not.
As I understand, there are 9 boards, just go 5/4.

Yeah you will need 3x PSU for this to run.

Please update regarding my question - Question from BITMAIN
I am really wonder, Does all China states and cities charge apply so much tax as 1.527 BTC (403.750 USD) by buying each single unit of s5+ ? what about hongking shipping does any such tax applies on hongkong shipping address ?
