I said this in another thread so it's worth repeating. Business timelines can change, and I have no more info than you on when the S5 will be released, but the Antminer ad in yBitcoin is an official ad. We only print ads with the direct consent and participation of our advertising partners. Thanks for reading the magazine and please share it!

Kind regards,

/db

who said we read the magazine? naaaaah, we just followed the links to the advertisement page  Cheesy

Haha just when I'm starting to get nostalgic over BTF. Well, just so you guys know what we do- we're the world's leading educational bitcoin publication. Our awesome partners (like Bitmain) enable us to give the magazines away for free all over the world- in turn raising awareness and hopefully making your rigs pay out some extra dollars. This year we've been able to print almost 300,000 free magazines reaching an estimated 1-1.3 million potential new bitcoin users. If there is someone in your personal network on the edge or interested about using bitcoin, get them a free magazine shipped right to their door (we even pay shipping within the USA)!

in that case, i applaud you. best luck with the endeavour. now - go get us some insider info!  Shocked

That guide is garbage.  I suggest any noob here to take Dogie's manuf. trustworthyness guides with a huge grain of salt and do your own due diligence.

this. any free miner is a good miner, eh?
anyhoo.. i've been refreshing the bitmain website page all day and nothing is jumping out at me.

S5 my arse.

Exactly, "S5 my ass!"

An S1 with no upgrade kits is a bad investment in my opinion; UNLESS one does not have to pay for electricity in a college dorm or where ever.

And an S1 is only going to earn 86 cents per day even with free electricity. Hardly worth the trouble, lol.

93 cents per day at present difficulty and present cost of bitcoin $408.00.  $27.79 in one month and hardware break even in 97 days.  All of this with free electricity.

Not worth it in my opinion either.  If my electricity costs were free, I would rather have an S4 or S5.  However, it all depends on what one can afford.

is that a 'constant' 86cents, or an average over time?  Cheesy

We'll c'mon now, you know the answer, lol. 86 cents per day for the remainder of this difficulty period... then somewhere around 85 cents for another 2016 blocks... then lower again.

Lets just wait for another week for S5, I am pretty sure S5 is much better interm of price per GHS and power.!!


This appears not to have been a official ad, so it could be a week or multiple weeks.    Really no one knows.

So it's 16th in China now. Another one broken promise.  Undecided

They (Bitmain) did not promise anything. It was just one self-promoting website, unrelated to Bitmain.
The only thing that was and still is missing was Bitmain officially saying that it isn't so, hence the confusion.
Considering that Bitmain frequenting these boards it is somewhat surprising that they let this rumor pass unanswered.

Some strange magazine. )

That's what I thought.  So, not BITMAIN...

I have to give this site credit on being creative to get clicks.   Made one heck of a ad and even a littte buzz.

I'm about to give up and scrap it all to magazine publicity stunt.

Maybe that's because Bitmain was afraid that they will not be able to keep this promise and they preffered not to make any official announce... I don't know...

possibly, but there was no mention of power specifications, or hashrate, so there was nothing really, to go on.
