Quick note I have been offered a review unit from bitmaintech .  I will post the review when I get the unit. I want to thank them…

 I got a pm from BitmainWarranty this morning.  I will set it up and match up against the sp20's I have.  I am fair honest and will try to show which is better and why.

Thanks to bitmainwarranty  for the offer.

Congrats on being chosen to do a review on the unit, Phil!

BitmainWarranty, please feel free to send me a review unit as well... I'll put it through its paces on p2pool

I would be more than happy to review a unit as well.

Have you not seen his GIANT affiliate link banner for ST? He's one of their biggest affiliates - he doesn't need the free units, only to continually post and disparage in competitor's threads.

nobody minds a review S5 unit including me

Checking.

Just wanted to throw my experience in here.  I have purchased many tens of thousands of dollars of mining equipment from Bitmain, as well as other sellers, and have had my share of problems with each in one form or another.  But, in all of my experiences, I have never had the level of customer support that I have encountered while working with Bitmain.  Whether that be at the company level (sending in service tickets/support) or at the forum level (Dogie's help with issues here and there).  I have been very happy with all of my purchases from Bitmain and continue to achieve positive ROI on every single unit I buy from them.  The experience that took the cake was last weekend when their American Service Group helped me with my problem throughout the weekend and ultimately made me the happiest I have ever been being a bitcoin miner customer.

In conclusion, you can compare other companies all you want and promises and guarantees, Bitmain has come through and delivered for me time and time again.  I am currently trying to convince my parents and family to open up some power space for me at their place as I want to buy 6 or 7 of these S5's right off the bat, and need some place to put them.

it's should deserve not "checking" but a major hurry.
Everyone who is ordering at prices listed on the website is losing $12-13/miner (the btc price difference between "real" and "bitmains" btc price is up to almost $9-10 or ~3% right now). They will have to either cancel all orders that were erroneously priced or issue massive refunds if this continues unabated.

Congrats to Bitmain for staying ahead of the curve on the S5.  Looks like a great machine.  It won't ROI so I'm going to pass right now.  But give them kudos for sticking with the home miner market.  Very impressive.
