Well they are the only game in town these days so they can raise prices all they like. We have no other miners to buy that have any chance of a positive ROI.

Price went up 0.2btc in the last 3 hours, Bitmain has told me they will not give any extra coupons.
they are doing very well by this move.
anything that slows diff increase is pretty good.
right now getting one from lee is better
not sure if he will stop selling at his 340 price.

edit he has suspended sales for now.
they are not doing well for anyone but themselves. i love how the individuals get hosed. miners earn less and less and bitmain decides to raise prices instead of lowering them.

If the history repeats itself then yes but can't be 100% certain they will.
AM had a great history of timing as well.
Now is it possible that bitfury will just add 350ph in the next 30 days
With what chips
Is it Bitfury that is being referred to in BitmainTech's facebook post, yes or no?
If you don't know or can't say, don't allude.
You can wait until its official but you can do the math. Company spends 9 months developing a game breaking chip. They develop it and get test results. Company employs a PR agency, yet the only news we get is a coindesk article mentioning it can do 0.2W/GH. What can also do ~0.2W/GH? Bitmain's chip, ASICMiner's chip. And as with both of those two, just because you can doesn't mean you can afford to [run chips that slow].
Can we migrate back to the S5 thread, we're overlapping almost entirely now: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/antminer-s5-1155ghoverclock-potential-in-stock-0319gh-051wgh-902305

A good point.
Now is it possible that bitfury will just add 350ph in the next 30 days
with .2 watt gear that comes to 70megawatts.
Is this price preorder move by bitmaintech due to the above.
I do not think so. Simple reason they priced very high and rose the price more very quickly.
If they know bitfury and knc are going to drop an amazing amount of hash.
They could have offered an April 9th ship date at 300 usd with free shipping they go poof on April 8th.
We all know that people would have purchased thousands of s-5's at that price point.
Something is up I just don't know what it is.?
350pH/s ? You sure about that?
Wont that double our difficulty since its more then the entire hashrate out there at the moment?
March 09, 2015, 03:51:49 PM
Would have ordered if not for the price mark up.
March 09, 2015, 03:18:10 PM
Possibly Spondoolies is whom they refer. That's who they currently are competing with.

No I think that is smoke and mirrors. One thing with the price at 431 to my door in NJ, USA
the avalon 4.1 looks more and more like a better choice. Still a little more costly then an s-5 but so very quiet.

Phillip, I just don't think they have any reason to continue to respect/look out for their customer base. It has been mentioned that they may very well be getting away from the retail market and focus on self-mining and cloud-mining. Maybe they're just trying to take the piss one last time. I can't understand any other reason for them to sell over-inflated pre-orders with no chance of ROI at current difficulty levels, let alone in the coming months.

So I guess they are making at least 500 more S5's
March 09, 2015, 09:32:06 AM
huh... pre-orders much?
June 6? Thats a pretty long time to wait when the product is only ~20% cheaper than it was weeks ago
