What is a profitable electric rate for you?

Maybe I can host a few for pennies on the Kw/h?

Any word on when today's orders will be shipping?

I'm interested too.

From past history and knowing the sort of market there is here they aren't going to say anything until they have something in stock. It would decimate their existing sales if they announced a next gen miner.

I hope that the delta between S1 <> S2 is hell of alot bigger than that of the U1 <> U2

Looks like the U2+ is still running on the same chip as the U1 but it has a bigger heat sink and is clocked at a higher rate it also appears to have the same power efficiency characteristics as the U1.

Does anyone know if Bitmain is developing a second generation chip or has said anything about that?

What happens to my order while blockchain.info is jacked up?

Unless no one has found a block in 2hours and 7 minutes and my high priority transaction has really been sitting still that long...

Definitely stuck - check another block explorer or see this thread:

My order on bitmaintech still shows as paying although the 1 hour window has expired so they may be giving some leeway if aware of the issue.

that's not the issue.  blockchain.info isn't showing the latest blocks, i.e., BTCGuild's last block found is 13 blocks above what blockchain.info is showing.  the real issue is that the transactions aren't being picked up.  I included a transaction fee on mine (enough for medium priority) and it showed an estimated 6 blocks until confirmation and that was 15+ blocks and 2.5+ hours ago and still not 1 confirmation.  BITMAIN hasn't cancelled my order (still shows paying/valid) but i'm starting to get worried.
