Oh, and unlike every other Bitmain offering to date, shipping is NOT included in the $1450 price.
EDIT:
So, now that it's officially on sale, all I can say is, "are you freaking kidding?"
$1450 (currently 3.514BTC), shipping not included. Shipped to Umisoo cost is 0.103BTC. Shipped to my home cost is 0.39BTC.
2TH/s at 1380W (0.69W/GH/s).
You've got a better chance of stepping in a pile of fresh dinosaur shit while being struck by lightning than you do of making your investment back with this thing.

There are really no good hardware options to buy at the moment close to ROI.
This is the only half way decent one right now, at a reasonable price:

sp30 starting to look real good now. sad to say. < bitmaintech fan and owner
Except they haven't been selling SP30s for quite some time now. Your only options are SP20 delivering the 2nd half of October or SP35 shipping late November.

$1450 for the S4: https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140916100720380cS1tRWd00684
This is definitely a non-starter.

Well, that determines that the S4 is for the rich bitcoinists, and all the rest, who can count will buy the batch10 Antminer S3, because with that you can have 2 ths with only 2,32 BTC!
I ordered yesterday 2 s3+ s costing 1.16 BTC.
If the price of S4 which is 2TH/s is 1.16 or lower it's ........beeeep.
I think bitmain will make S4 ships single not like S3 shipping double.
And I guess the price of S4 will be 1.38 btc
Anyway I may also order s4 depending on the price.

Close! Just 2 BTC's short....
"Oh, if Bitmain prices the S4 at 30 cents each, I'll buy 10!"
Once again the pie-in-the-sky optimists are shot down in flames, lol.

If the price is 1.38 or more then it better come with a psu unit for that price and the full 2th once you over clock it.

Good luck if you think you're going to be paying 1.38btc for an antminer s4
so is it out, or any specs known ?
Nope, the only info is 2TH
I hope the price is lower we were going to buy a mass load of s3's but if its lower then spoonies hardware then we may be talking about something interesting and i wouldn't mind it being without a psu I can rig the psu myself if it means cheaper prices.
Batch 8 of the S3 and the S1 upgrade kit do not even resume shipping until September 20th. so I would not expect to see another device from them anytime soon.
Quoting myself too...for being 180 out like a distributor in an old chevy!

I guess since they fitted 10 cards inside a S2 they will now take the 10 cards in the S4 making it a monster of 4.5Th/s
clear speculation off-course!!!
If the S4 follows the pattern of the S2, it certainly won't be 4.5TH/s. Remember, the S2 underclocked/undervolted the BM1380 chips from the S1 to make that 1TH/s at 1100W - typical ratio of the chip was 2W/GH/s. If they hadn't, the S2 would have been a 1.8TH/s miner consuming 3600W.clear speculation off-course!!!
The speculation is that the S4 will indeed follow the same paradigm established by the S2. My thoughts on the specs are earlier in this thread, but to reiterate them here, I believe it will be around 2.2TH/s at about 1300W. If Bitmain wants to use the same PSU as the S2, then it'll probably be closer to 2TH/s at 1100W.

Still waiting for s4.. any sneak peak?
I think they just had Moon festival last week. They are celebrating Sun festival right now.
When's the Festival of the Dung Pile?
Waiting for this really long, hopefully its 100th
100TH/s? You might want to rethink that one... not a chance in hell of that happening. Jump to:
