Wait, no SSH? I don't like that... Also those exposed rails on the back look like a disaster waiting to happen...

the rails may need some electrical tape. for the sake of safety.

I am hoping blokforge gets back to me about using a cc to get a t15

We received our S15 and T15s today from first batch, maybe will do some testing later.

The S15 seems to work as advertised, however there doesn't seem to be a way to SSH into it. The dropbear daemon is there but it is set to not allow connections. Does the T15 allow for SSH?

After it got up to speed it was using 18V, but was using 20V until it started.

The S15 also seems to use cgminer and not bmminer as previous miners use.

They were accepting credit cards previously. Maybe they got a lot of charge backs from batch 1? I'm still waiting on mine and disappointed that I will essentially be receiving it the same time as batch 2. No point in doing pre-orders when they drop the price and you don't receive on time.

Yeah I got the a921 on a cc.

It would be nice if they let me get the t15 via cc.

I’d review it and move it onto the solar array.

Then get a s15 review and move it onto the solar array.

I am frustrated that I do see a mention of cc but not a tab to press it.

Blokforge has them for sale,
but I guess they only take cryptos and bank wire transfer.

https://blokforge.com/product/bitmain-antminer-t15/

They let me buy the a921 that I reviewed a week or so ago.

Maybe they would let me get the t15 and the s15 via cc or PayPal.

I am trying to get both a t15 and a s15.

Since I won’t use bitmain direct and will only pay via PayPal or Credit Card it has proven difficult to do so.

PassthePopcorn posted some results from their miner in the Competitive hardware thread, I just haven't had the chance to update it.

So far it looks like a good buy if you've set up KYC with Bitmain. Especially if you have higher power costs as they are so far showing great options for efficiency for both of the miners.

Obviously it's a small sample but well see as more if them arrive

It would be interesting to test out the S15 and see the performance,
but I'm not sure if I want to buy one...

VRobb, please keep us updated on your S15 results.  Smiley

Just got shipping notice for my S15. Just within the promised ship dates, too!  As soon as it hits the ice mines on Hoth we'll see how it does.

well some say the low setting is doing 50 watts a th  which is impressive.

Bitmain released today Firmwares for the S15 and T15.
The T15s is newer. Since it is operating I am not going to flash this.
Anyone have any observations either model??

Good job getting your hands on it a little early that way.

Can you post a screenshot of the miner status, and maybe a pic or 2 of the miner? It would be nice to see it in action and confirm they have something close to spec hitting the market.

The S15 images look identical to Swisher828's T15 images.

I purchased my T15 from Amazon last Thursday. It arrived Monday.

The email I got extolling the wonderfullness of the $230 coupon I received for buying the first batch said shipping will be from Dec20 to Dec31, a little later than originally promised.  The coupon is nice, however I just bought back the coin I used when I bought the miner at BTC>$6000 and therefore only paid ~$700 for the miner plus shipping.  Seems resonable...  Wink

Edit - MFB you are correct.  Checked my original purchase confirmation and indeed it's late December.  At least I still made a killing on the BTC buyback!  Cheesy

Haven't seen anything yet. Looking back some orders from the China site should have shipped by the 10th of December.

I'm not positive on the earliest ship date outside of China, or if anyone on the forum placed an order. It would be nice to see a unit and find out if matches the advertised performance, because then this would be the most efficient hardware available. (S15)

Evil beware: We have waffles!
When something claims '220v input' it is implied that the standard range of 200-250v is acceptable. If not then the rating should read '220v MUST be used' with strong emphasis on that. That said, being Bitmain it still is a reasonable question to directly ask them.
