when you guys say gb for one unit are you asking for cloud hashing? because this is for a group buy of the physical unit.

Well, in theory I offer hosting services so this could be a physical unit and/or hosting along with it if that was needed.

With that said, I'm in talks with Bitmain regarding getting an S2 GB going and they are actually more interested in working with me on a next-gen product.  Shocked  Lips sealed

I know that's not the news everyone was wanting to hear regarding the S2s but I'm still trying to work something out with Bitmain to help out all of you guys who have been replying and contacting me directly.

I'm going to begin tallying everyone's interest and will post more in here/or start a new thread.

I would like in for 6 to 8 units depending on price and when they can be delivered as well. If price is in 12-1300 range could go as high as 12 of them. Thanks Waldohoover for putting the work in on this.


Agreed thanks, and with that price range I would be looking around 4 aswell.

The ppl that have posted here are at least like 50units

I am wanting 2 to 5 units depending on price and when they can be delivered.
Was hoping 112.org would setup another group buy.

great, thanks Waldohoover for taking the lead on this. I think price around 1300-1400 for June delivery of at least 100+ would be small victory Smiley

Sorry for a bit off topic:
What about doing group buy, but using shares (backed by physical miners = shares entitles you to part of miner/s) here ? We can get more fellow miners (actually selling smaller part of whole miners available), thus buying more miners and get better price at the end. What do you guys think ?

I mean Waldohoover is respected member here and have experience with group and "shares" buy offers and responsibly running&supporting them - what do you think about this Waldohoover ? Would you have time for this ?

Even better would be to take small portions of profit per month and reinvest on monthly (or 2month) basis in best $/gh/w miner/s ready to be shipped at that time, thus increasing the total hashrate and in case of no longer profitable miners sell them and divide the profit (aka liquidate the shares). I mean - happy hashing of community managed by trusted members of community Smiley I guess it will be possible to broker a good deal with some of respected hosters around here (at those numbers of miners we are talking about, there would be mutual benefit for both sides - us (shareholders, profit from low hosting/power prices) and hosters (long term profit)).
Thanks for reading and happy mining to all

Not a problem, I haven't made a formal announcement but looks like I penned a deal on new office/warehouse space to reduce fees of my future and current fees.

With that being said, I am definitely open to a GB to break down shares per miner if people want to just get their feet wet. Again, expected fees and charges will be cut by a substantial amount compared to my previous/current fees.

I've shot a couple emails to Bitmain regarding the situation and offer but haven't heard back. I've referenced the thread to show some initial interest so hopefully I can hear back soon.

Additionally, I'd love to also start offering local pickup at the new office, since the majority of miners will be in an undisclosed location. Smiley Sometimes seeing a face when doing deals like this is the reassurance people need to do future purchases, so I'm def open to everything and anything that makes sense. Smiley


Thanks Waldohoover. Can't wait.

Just so you know, there is a scammer who has set up an account looking like yours:  wald0hoover
and is sending out this PM:

Hi guys,

I have had a price back from Bitmain regarding the group buy you all expressed an interest in-

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-anyone-setting-up-a-group-buy-of-s2-miners-642586

Current price inc. express shipping - 2.62 BTC.

Why trust me?

profile -

here you can see all the previous group buys I have run -

Payment address -

After payment I will need the transaction I.D, your shipping address and how many units you have ordered.

We need to move quickly on this in order for Bitmain to honour the price quoted.

Thanks,

waldohoover
