How long has it been now since BitMain has had S5-anything to sell?  I am starting to worry.

I'm not worried but I do wonder if they are done with the S5 gear.  The S5+ really is a nice miner lots of power in not much space.

But now they announced a new chip it's hard to say what they are doing.    Everyone knew this could be a one batch to use up a lot of old stock of chips.  It's looking more and more like this is true.

yeah it seems more and more likely that this was just a one time batch to clear out existing chips

What seems odd about that is that Bitmain had to engineer and test a new hashing board, as well as a new controller with lots more ports for hashing boards and fans. Wouldn't it have just been easier to build more S5 miners until they ran out of chips? Seems like a lot of work to just run out the existing supply of chips, as well as support the S5+ product for some period of time after it's produced. It seems that S5+ didn't have to a "triple wide power sucker", it could have just as easily been a hashing board improvement for the existing S5 controller and frame.

Could the S5+ have been some kind of prototype that became a product? If the BM1385 chip had the same layout as the BM1384 (i.e. the S5 chip), then I would speculate that the S5+ was a prototype for the S7, but my limited understanding is that the boards for the BM1384 and BM1385 will have to be different.

woah huge post.. so this guy was trying to scam others with a fake bitmain site? lol thats pretty crazy

yeah and if you signed in he has access to you bitmaintech password ,not good if you have cloud with them.

Sadly people will to to extreme lengths to scam people.   I did not click any of it as I don't want to possibly get infected or other bad things.

But if you clicked it change your password.   The good thing is I think you have to accept changes on payout in email.  I could be wrong but I think email confirms it.  So if I remember right that would help stop him.

Whats even more sad than that if they just put half the time they waste into helping people they might actually be able to make something of there life.. But sadly they choose to be the dirt on the bottom of our shoes..

Since I am an English speaker, I use English words. Perhaps some folks would like to try offensive/stupid words in another language. Give the poor scavenger something to read. Bonus points for those folks that can blend multiple languages together.

When in doubt, try and login in with completely bogus Id/Password. I did so using offensive words at every usual place, it was completely happy with what I put in. I always wonder if the scavenger of the Id/Password info recognizes what I've told them to do.


LOL thats hilarious.. it accepted total bogus user/pass combos, he/she is probably looking at his logs and saying wtf

There's no mistake!

If you put this true link: SCAM LINK REMOVED you must edit for change it for intentionally obscure...

True link:
SCAM LINK REMOVED

Edited link in source code:
https://bitmaintech.com/productDetailc054.php?pid=0002015081407532655504JMKzsM067B

Admin, please, take action with  Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed  dailey123  Embarrassed Embarrassed Embarrassed

Agreed. It's an intentional scam.

Until an admin steps in, people should hit dailey123 with negative trust.

Last batch everyone: SCAM LINK REMOVED

Yeah, I saw that link this morning too, but now I think it's a scam.

Note that the text of the link above says "bitmaintech.com", but the actual domain is "bitmaintech.co". Looks like "bitmaintech.co" was registered on Friday August 21st, 2015.

The main bitmaintech.com site says nothing about batch 2.

I first saw notice of the last batch on reddit, but the link to the article was also likely a scam. The news article link on reddit was "bitcoinmaqazine.com" (note the 'q'), not bitcoinmagazine.com.

Be careful. This is probably a scam.

The question is did dailey123 intentionally obscure the above link, or was it an innocent mistake?

EDIT: Looks like batch 2 is shipping.

I wanted one of these before the new chip announcement. While I'm still tempted (bird in the hand), I'm probably going to wait for the S7.


I take it back. This is probably a scam. See my next post on this thread.

I previously checked on the site for S5+ manual and firmware, but they are present now.

The manual makes more sense regarding the control board power connection, kind of...
It states to connect it to any power supply, but it is still worded oddly.
I am going to assume it must not matter, but I am at a loss why they say anything about it other than to connect it to a power supply unless there is something they are trying to tell us.

If anyone has any ideas what they are truly getting at feel free to post up.

Regarding the control board connection the manual states:
"...And be sure to connect the hash boards to the PSU first and then connect the controller to PSU"
"Connect connector on control board to any power supply"

If you are connecting the controller to the same PSU as hash boards, why does it matter if it is first or last, it will get power at the same time...
They have stated this several times, so there must be something there.

 and just because I love to repeat things that make me contemplate the mysterious statements in life I will repeat this from the manual as well:
"Higher input voltage will cause higher mining efficiency"

So how high can someone go?

I see improvements in this manual over previous generations. I appreciate there is a manual for this model.
I hope we see some clarification on the points made because whatever issue (if there is one) they are getting at with the control board power confuses the hell out of me. I previously thought that maybe they wanted the hash boards powered up slightly before the control board, but the way the manual reads with connecting to any power supply that can't be it and besides you don't want to be fiddling around getting that powered on with any delay when that many chips are putting out heat -- less fans.

I have seen an unfinished heatsink. It isn't cut out all the way. I will get a picture "from the guy" and get it posted. Overall it looks like a good unit. IT needs to be tested on a couple of other pools and ck solo to collect more data by "the guy" before anything lengthy is posted.





As far as the power I think you are worrying a little to much on it.  I think they designed controller unit to look for blades being powered on, so blades being powered on is a good thing.  If for some reason it the controller is booted up first and didnt work just reboot it Smiley  I have had 0 issues with mine.

As far as power getting more efficient not sure.  220/240 is more efficient then 110/120.  But I suspect almost all have it on 240 and not multiple 120's.  But not sure how far they are thinking.

What do you mean by you have seen a unfinished heatsink can you take a picture?

Yeah, I have a pic and will put it up tomorrow... err later today. It is a heatsink which wasn't completed but it was installed anyway.

I agree regarding the power. When they make such a big deal about something by putting a different blurb about it in every announcement, manual, etc then it would be great to have some clarification.
I've e-mailed them to ask. Things like that make me want to know why. Part of playing with stuff like this for me.

I've seen 0 problems other than a couple of minor things. As long as it hashes well there is certainly nothing to complain about. The speed and density are fantastic and it runs much cooler than an S4 in the same space and ambient temps.
