Okay, it must just be things running slow at Bitmain.  At 1:55 PM Bitmain sent this:

BITMAIN Order Detail
Order ID: 00120150318175510183hkOnq6SO06CD
Date: 2015-03-18 17:55:10
Total: 1.564 BTC
Payment method: Bitcoin Payment
You must make a payment within 1 hour, or your order will be cancelled


So, since my Coinbase payment is timestamped 13:57, I should be good.

Dogie, I read your setup page of the S5 and this is a quote from that setup guide:


"What temperatures should I aim for?   - Try and achieve <50 for best hash rates, and <60 for long lifetimes. Temperatures should not
be let to rise above 80C."

This confuses me. Even the stock fan at pretty low ambient temps can't keep the S5 less than 50c.  How would one even obtain <50c? Then I saw in another post you wrote that running the S5 24/7 at 65c is just fine and would be no problem. Can we get a confirmation from BitmainWarranty on the optimal running temps of the S5? There must be three temp sensors onboard, since CryptoGlance reports three different temp readings. I just want to make sure we all know the operating range of temps of this unit when so many have been reported.

Thanks!

I can almost afford one, except post will kill me, then the conversion will throw salt into the wounds.

May be $340 but it also is BTC 1.34 ..... when it was first returned, $320 equated to around BTC 1.12, so bitmain have rightly adjusted the price in BTC (or is that pegging their rig pricing on BTC rather than US $ ?)

So if we ordered at higher than the $340 price point will we get coupons? haha

Who did you contact to get the coupon? I ordered (2) S5's at a higher price last week.

I should of waited to place my orders GRRRRRRR!

Anyone with S5 coupons they'd want off their hands? PM please.... or send to bitcointalk id: pekatete

I've received a few PM's regarding my coupon. At this time I am slightly more interested in acquiring additional coupons but if I don't get any takers I will get rid of mine before it expires.

March 30th batch has extremely limited quantity left that is why the Coupon Validity is only until March 25th.  After this batch is sold out, the next available S5 be in June of 2015.
