if sidehack makes a board that uses old S5 parts not the boards on newly designed boards with bitfury or BW chips yup . replacing the chips on a S5 board no.the way he said it , it sounds like he wants to do just that. it might be do able but why it's gotta be hard or Polly will be, i would think that's like putting something new on something old it might make it worse..in this case chips are different then screwing a new board on a old heat sink or using the old controller .

why even bro with the s5 controller way it won't really save us any cash , maybe him but not us.

The whole upgrade idea is nice thu but the way he wants to upgrade doesn't seem to cool.

I'm not buying into this junk we have what one more month left to wait to see what really happens.

We'll wait and see. Bitfury has told that they will reveal official partners, so it will clear all the scams out.

If SideHack manage to make an Upgrade board for the S5`s with either Bitfury or BW-LK1402 chips, then I could be really tempted to upgrade my 100+ S5.
That would be a winner for sure....following this thread.

Yes, you can change only hashing board on Antminer S5

Can you expand on you plans for the Firmware & FPGA code on the Bitmain Controller board?

Is he saying he is going to re-solder all the chips with the new BF Chips? Do we understand how precision it takes to make these?

Why scam?

2 reasons it is likely a scam:

1- Do you have an arrangement with Bitfury to get the chips? If so could you please post some evidence you are getting the chips. Also, I have received an email from Bitfury that states they are monitoring for scams. I am sure they will chime in on this thread when they see it.

2- There are a lot of people on this forum that have a TON of experience and a TON of trust and they are not getting chips, how is it that a noob shows up with no history claiming to be able to make a miner with Bitfury Chips. Now, if you are getting the chips I am sure you have a website that is associated with Bitcoin, could you link your credentials and the website.

Thanks

Also it seems your account is 2 years old and you were trying to be a retailer a year or so ago. Are you still retailing miners in the Ukraine? Also, I am not sure how shipping would be coming from the Ukraine but I would bet it is not cheap. I will ask Bitfury if they have any partners in the Ukraine Wink

I have a rule never buy from rendering.... and this is pre-rendering even on gear. So it throws huge red flags up. And it is on a new account.... again more red flags.

The truth of the matter is new manufactuers are hard to find, we have if anything gotten smaller and smaller on amount who make miners. And this is likely to continue. I would not order this gear. I do think it's likely a troll though and not a scam.

Bitcoin FTW!

If I hop on the hype train fast enough and if this thing is actually legit... I can see the possible profit. But its too far, I can dream on Grin

Hopefully not a fake.

may is too slow here is why right now the s7 is 1.7 btc so lets say I send in 1.7 btc - 5%

that would be 1.615 btc lets say you are truly honest and deliver on May 15 .. that is 88 days from now.

we will have 6 diff jumps in that time.

so an s-7 is .3 watts

you are .11 watts. 6 diff jumps of 10% and then the ½ ing in about 35 days and your gear is in trouble for roi..
