My S5 has been running flawlessly for almost 4 months. I'd like thank the guys at Bitmain again for sending me a new miner ahead of schedule and not just stealing my money.
There's a special place in hell for the rest of you ASIC manufacturers...
That is a little harsh I'm guessing you have not bought a lot of miners. There are some other good companies aswell. They are not all scams.
But yes Bitmain is a good company, with a good track record on delivering machines (L1 was biggest mistake in my mind that they have on their record).
From what i read about the L1 that's was Zeus mostly that gfjgk over a lot including vendor and other miner maker. They had a so called chip that no script makers could top then for no real good reason other then maybe to scam a lot of buyers they pulled out and know were that read about it, does it, actually say for sure if that chip even is or was, i think bitmain panther ed with them some on it, then got burned ( will never really know for sure unless some one from bitmain say so, ZEUS would just lie more ).
Bitmain made it all good on those L 1 sells.
Zeus miner imo ruined it all for a lot of the new Script miners due out they had a good thing going could have been the bitmain of Script miners,I'm being nice.
The L1 would have been best chip on market if it followed specs. It would have been better then the A2's so yes... better chip then the Zeus by far. It had nothing to do with Zeus.
They did the math and at time figured we would not make a profit, and i'm guessing they did not make good enough profit. At the time I'm not fighting that it was a logical decision and made sense.
But if we would have ran the L1 from then till now with LTC going up again.... good chance of good profits. Thats looking back though, I know we could not know future back then.
Enough with L1 I do not mean to derail thread.
