I'd rather not have the PSU.
I'm NOT fond of Enermax power supplies in general (had way too many dead ones still in warenttee), and a 1000 watt unit on that miner is overkill anyway (a good 850 like the Seasonic X850 Gold or the EVGA G2 in that ballpark would make a LOT more sense), but too small for any other useage I'd want to put it to.

 Then again, looks like they might have had to go to a 1000 watt unit to get enough PCI-E connectors - my X850s only have 6 of them....



Well they are obviously trying to get rid of some datacener PSU's. Otherwise it wouldn't even make financial sense to include PSU in $270 USD.

exactly.   

has someone confirmed those are S2 PSU's on that note? im curious, as they, yes, MUST have been "old inventory" from SOMEWHERE imo

It looks like bitmain changed price. Yesterday was 276 usd but today 291 usd.

Yesterday the BTC price was about 480$ and today at 540$
Maybe thats the reason?

probably yes and when we calculating by bitcoins it looks that price is cheaper on official page

friday: 276 USD ( 0.563 BTC )
sunday: 291 USD ( 0.543 BTC )




That's cool wish this was all ways that way price goes up but BTC go down Smiley . makes buying stuff easier with btc and in a way saves cash kind of . why i'm glad there is cash to compare it to .


so who buying one of these  it is temping ?. there on sell now !!! to any one any were

i could have the cash to gather in about a month the bitcoin halving doesn't worry me.

I see it as a good thing and we will all adjust or it goes under and eth steps in . or we get 12.5 or so less coins and over time it gets a little harder to hit a full BTC of 12.5 coin per like now,  I'm  not to sure  if the difficulty is affected by the block change if it's not it should go about  like LTC did and after it all adjusts out we get less coins per block with the same usually complaints,  me included. .  ..and the price goes up but this time stays up and in four years it happen again.. this reminds me of the time change a few years back from 1999 to 2000 the  2k so called bug nothing really happen and life went on .

I may buy one of these or wait see what happens to the Avalon 6 price i got a feeling we won't see any of the new miners with new chips till around the middle of June to the end of July sadly.

unless they go sell in the next day or 2 we sure as hell won't see them in May for sell to the public in gen.

Thanks for the all the replies on the power supply.  I didn't realize the Enermax is multi-rail like the LEPA 1600.  I can't believe they raised the price already thought.   Cry
It is "multi-rail" PSU for protection, like the circuit breakers in your house.
There is actually quite few real multi-rail PSUs.

Coins went up.  This has been done before by them on more then one occasion.

I have to clock their btc addy try to figure out their sales on this.

Anybody know if that Enermax will run on 120v?  If it's anything like the S2 PSI would imagine that it would but I just want to make sure.
Yes.

Heck, I might buy one so I can put the PSU in a big desktop and run it on something that'll actually hold up. Maybe play with undervolting and see what it can do.

If it's half the hashes and half the price including the PSU, just think how much profit they're still milking off the full-size S7. And just think how much profit they'd have been milking when the originals sold for four times the current pricetag. If nothing else, it's useful for that slap in the face.

The price doubling after the halving doesn't make a whole lot of sense since the price would be based on availability, and the halving only affects new coins - most of the coins to ever exist are already in circulation so the halving doesn't have that much of an effect on overall supply.

I only say it will double because A. it will nearly have to in order for ANY miners to profit, no matter how large or small of an operation.

B. the last and only time it halved the price shot through the roof, and there's only more backing for it now.

I think they came out with this to hedge against the halving, to get more people mining.

the price went down after the ½ last time and   the diff dropped a bit.   then 3 or 4 adjustments  later we upswung in price.

Topping out in April 2013  at 240 usd  then a crash.  I would argue asics boosted price along with the ½ing.

But now we do not have something 10x the efficiency  like asics were to gpus

True, but remember it wasn't decades ago that we were at $700-$1100. I mean, look at whats happened the past year! We're up twice as much as we were! The point where we're at now could just be a year and a half "down-ish swing", and the when it halves it could easily double in price, which would keep miners profitable and keep the network alive.

Either way I'm waiting a month or so after the halving for the dust to settle and see where we're at. Only at that point will I consider setting up a decent mining operation.

agreed.  im hoping that knc going down will drop 50-100PH/S from the network over next few weeks/months to reconsider mining ;p  
till then im following phil, GPU rigs all the way


I have 310mh doing eth coin.   at 18 cents power on the 1st of june

I have 27-28th doing btc coin   at 'free' power =  I provide rigs buysolar provides  power we split the coins.  With my summer power price it is the only way I can mine btc at the moment.

I make more with eth coin then the btc at the moment.

I also blend and balance the  eth btc and cash  about ⅓ +  ⅓ + ⅓

And I stopped renting for a while.

So a mix is what I am doing. I will very likely get a s-9 when it comes out.

Even if the S9 is priced higher than previous versions and comes with a higher hash rate, it will likely be more efficient, being worth the upgrade. The new S7 that comes with a power supply though, those are looking great! You shave hundreds or thousands off your setup because of the free PSU. What I'm curious about is what the halving will do to mining. These things don't ship until a month before the halving, that's what is making me hesitant.

The money some people I know are making off Ethereum right now is ridiculous. Hopefully my check comes soon so I can get going, every day that passes is a lot of money not made.
