Topic: Hotmine X5/X6 upgrade for antminer S5/S3 - page 2. (Read 1494 times)

Doesn’t seem like it. I would’ve been interested in at least one kit if we had an actual organized group buy going but seems like Hotmine have changed their sales minimums, etc. 60 is now the minimum and prices have gone up probably because it’s now more profitable to mine.

Thank you for contacting Hotmine.

I am responding on behalf of the sales department of Hotmine.

Anyone had any luck ordering?

Yes, but you also need to purchase an S5 or aftermarket BB board, which costs around $50-100.

Read my review for more information.

I see references to both S3 and S5, do the kits also work on an S3? I actually have a few of those!

Hi I am interested in an upgrade kit but did not want to buy 10 of them is this something people are thinking about a collective buy?

No worries! I was informed that there's actually a group buy forum, so it's in the wrong place anyway.

Guys im local guy, i live in Kiev, i think i can do the shipment for you. If you are willing to think about paying a little extra to the price on the site(my tips) we can work smth out. Feel free to pm or add me on viber or whatup messenger +380939583175.

Sad, that means it's not worth it for any of us.

good to hear that 

I'm struggling to get one X6 from them, but they are willing to ship one kit only to Ukraine

See my review thread, I had mostly S1 parts for it and then a Beaglebone black 

It is still hashing great at 3.3 Th/s hash rate (the Hotmine X5 upgrade kit miner).

HagssFIN, does your S5 upgrade still working well ?

Ah, ok, sorry.
I had a false memory about that then.

I was going to look at getting 10, but they told me the min was 60 and the price was higher than what was on the site. The shipping could also be an issue, it was a bit difficult to understand the translation. Someone local would be useful to do the forward shipping as components rather then full miners.

I don't actually have a "lot" of S5s. I have maybe like 4 or 5 I think. It's been so long since they were hashing I nearly forgot about them. I do know for sure that I have 4 S3s.

So they want a 10 order minimum per person I presume?

My mistake sorry

I'm also interested in couple of X5 kits. Count me in.

I have understood that allinvain here at the forum would have a lot of S5s that he would like to upgrade.

That still seems somewhat implausible without a farm buying a large number and then selling us extras.

Which actually isn't a terrible idea. Anyone know a farm that has a bunch of S5s that may want to upgrade?
