And the buy button just went live, despite the large expense, I wonder how long until they sell out of batch #1? I just made a table of the BTC/GH of my purchase from Bitmain, they -really- seem to like 1.47 BTC/TH on average, except that these cost almost the same per TH as my S3s did in July of 2014, and although they use fewer Watts/TH, a TH is worth a lot less. Today I'll flesh out my spreadsheet to include relative W/TH and percent/TH worth as compared to my S1s that I bought in April of last year. Altogether though, any purchase of new hardware where your ROI extends out past July of 2016's halving really doesn't make sense at this point.

I would love a few coupons if someone has a spare they don't intend on using. I never pulled the gun on the S5 or S5+ and time to get some shiny new ones.

I have 4 AntMiner S7 Coupon 20 USD if you would like them. I will not be using these. Better than nothing.

I'm an S5 buyer with no coupons, guess it had to have been later in the release cycle, or the s5+ only. I would appreciate it if you would be willing to send praeluceo a coupon!

Mining still dead in the UK at $0.23, and shipping to a host is probably going to be a year to breakeven when the inevitable diff rises happen so no new machines for me Sad

Who are you with, I'm on 8p/KWh (0.12$/KWh).

I'm currently with Eon on a business tariff, I was spending around £1500-£2000 a month and shopped around for the best deal which at the time was

11.83p day rate
6.76p night rate.

Which is an average of 10.56p, then add on the standing charge, climate charge (which goes up quite high when you start spending the above amount) and VAT** and you are up to 15p = $0.23

Now granted electric rates might have come down since then, but I only have a Titan left here, everything else has been sold or shipped abroad.

** I know you will mention claiming the VAT back as we have had this conversation before, but according to my accountant and further consultation with HMRC, because the item that you are selling (BTC) does not atrract VAT, you cannot claim the VAT back for the process of making them. You can claim the VAT back on buying the machines as you charge it when you sell them.

Looks like no coupons for S5 buyers - oh well, if anyone has an extra that won't be used I'll happily make use of it.

My username on bitmain is the same as here.

Bitcoin Talks Bullshit Walks

i like how they are admitting they fucked us on the s5 + here is a 100 coupon that wont mean fuck all once these come online... Those that have watched bitmain in the past can see such as with the s2 and s4 + right when they are about to dump old chips they stuff it in a new box and call it something new.. More likely than not they are already running the s7 or hell something more efficient than that im sure... to me its looking like ill just hang on to my coins.. with all this hash coming on and diluting the incoming money on btc we can only see further drops in price or a steady price.. I dont like the direction this is al headed personally but what can i do about it?.. Ill mine with my s4 till it can no longer mine for profit then im done with it.. The manufacturers have got the price now such that a new machine can be released before the last one roi.. But your stuck cause if you dont upgrade you will be squeezed out.. Its a viscous cycle with the end game being the manufacture for win.. Keep your coins till we can get some competition.. Bitmain if you want to even try to begin to sell these best send a coupon to everyone cuz 100 off is laughable at current market conditions having just bought s5 or s5 +.. Peace Be with you!

Best Regards

I currently have 750W Platinum PSUs with 4 PCI-E connectors. I am thinking that rather than buying new PSUs, I would just use 3 of these on 1 S7. This would be 1 750W PSU for each HashCard and the third one would also connect to the Control Card. Does this sound feasible?

sounds perfect if the psu's are single rail!

I am new to coupons. Today I received 10 Coupon counts which says AntMiner S7 Coupon 100 USD. Does that mean I have 10x100 USD = 1000 USD Coupon? Can these coupons be used all at once or 10 orders separately?

I assume only for S5+ buyers?

no.

Well shit, who is getting coupons? Is Bitmain keeping it a secret or something? My last purchase was for a couple of S5s way the hell back in Dec. or Jan.

this^^

mining is literally dead for majority of world, where they can afford to invest over 2k USD (price + import tax + PSU), simply because electricity costs and power consumption is so high.

for those, which want to invest hard earned 2k US dollars and not living next to power grid in China, I recommend to buy BTC from some exchange - price is now quite low. at this price point, this fancy miner is for chinese farmers or investors in some developing countries.

sadly.

Who is getting coupons and how much are they for? I'm just a small time home miner but I've been with Bitmain for the S1, S3, and S5 and I didn't get any coupons but I don't know what exactly qualifies you for one. My rate is 0.13KWh and I'd be fine with the 270 day ROI. The days of ROI in 3 months, constantly upgrading your hardware, and consistent huge leaps in difficulty are long behind us. Plus winter will be upon us in a few short months so the cost will be offset because I'll hardly ever need my furnace to turn on with 1200-2400 watts of ASICs. I would be willing to buy 1 or 2 at this price, but once I factor in shipping fees, the block halving on the visible horizon, AND the fact that we are guaranteed to see a rise in difficulty once these start hitting the market turns in into a no-go for me.

EDIT : I see the coupons are 100$. I assume only for S5+ buyers?
