can we get clarification on whether these will have the PCIe connector for power?(new version units) ... or still just the old version where we gotta hack PSU cables? TY

The revision of miners BITMAIN is producing has the white PCIe connector on each of the two "blades" of an AntMiner S1.

does anybody with an order (that they paid immediately for) which was placed after 15:16:44.0 (based on bitmain's timestamp) have their order status showing as "Valid"?

2.4 BTC   Pay:0 BTC
Confirm:2.4 BTC   Paied
Unshipped
Valid   2014-01-11 17:24:40.0

thanks for the confirmation.  over 2 hours after my order which still shows as "Expired".  i hope they resolve this quickly as I don't want to waste a bunch of time fighting for a unit or 2.4 BTC back.

I have the same problem, payment made from blockchain.info at 15:23:50... 40 minutes later have 8 confirmations but not confirmed in the web.
Pay:0 BTC
Confirm:2.4 BTC
Status: Paied - Unshipped - Expired

At this time tells me the same... "Expired"
I also hope what is resolved soon, Antminer S1 or refund 2.4 BTC

The need to pay within a hour is ridiculous. If the buyers BTC in in a paper wallet then it can take over 1 hour to get the coin to a paying wallet, and if confirmations are slow then it will take longer.

 With respect, how is it Bitmain's problem that you don't have access to your funds in a timely fashion ?

 I can understand your frustration, but feel you are barking up the wrong tree here.

if I wanted to buy something at walmart on Boxing day, I would make sure my paycheck was fully cashed and in my banking account. I wouldnt go to walmart, pull my item off the shelf, and hang around the cash registers for hours/days until my paycheck deposited

*ps: if i had someone standing in front of me at walmart going 'uh, give it a minute, maybe my card will be accepted this time'...DECLINED....'oh, it will work any minute now, can you hold on another 5 minutes?'  I would sucker-punch them in the back of the head and ring my own shit through*

As my other posts explain, you do not find out it is an hour until you are in the checkout.

Using your scenario, you have gotten to the checkout and they have told you that the card system is down and ask for cash, what do you offer then, more violence?

Hey if you guys offered the U1 in quantities less than 500 (say 10 or 20) more people could buy them (like me).
Go buy from someone who is a reseller. There are a dozen or so in the group buy forum with STOCK to ship!

What forum is that in?  I looked around here but couldn't find any.  The "goods" forum seems full of everything including kitchen sinks but not ASIC gear that I could see (didn't look past page one though to be honest).

EDIT: nevermind.  You can't see that group buy forum from the top level so I didn't notice it.  Thanks for the heads up also.

No confirmation email yet. I purchased within 10 seconds of them opening up. So if I have not received one I doubt anyone has.

same situation . i guess we will receive it after 13.1 shipment

until we have our orders shown as  paid and valid i guess

as long as you send the transaction in a timely manner (lets say 30min), the system wont bump you from the line.

Personally I'm fine with any resolution, I was waiting for BITMAIN to respond to the info-text I included in the order asking for the situation with the vouchers (also sent it by other means) and thus paid it only later when I saw that they weren't going to respond for the night (auction started at 11pm in China).

FWIW, one of my transactions to purchase an S1 has been confirmed to the blockchain, yet still shows Unpaid in the "My Orders" section as well.

I would recommend some patience. We are helping test their store after all. It's super early in the morning in China right now, and i would imagine they'll get these issues ironed out in due time.

 I can understand your frustration, but feel you are barking up the wrong tree here.

I agree with your assessment, with one exception: when making a BTC transfer can take surprisingly long before getting 6 confirmations (hence, over 1 hour). For example, we've seen 28 minute blocks today, IIRC. The aspiration for BTC blockchain is to get a block every 10 minutes, so in comparison to that 1 hour is somewhat ambitious - if 6 confirmations are required before acknowledged.

Then again, I think BITMAIN's website shop uses a similar software to what I've been using elsewhere where the software itself has defined 1 hour as the BTC payment window. So not exactly a fault of theirs... (Btw, I think you can re-configure that.)


I expect that the 1hr window is only searching for the first confirmation on the network - but wont mark your order 'PAIED' until 6 confirms.
