I think it will use the same amount of power as before around 1200-1300Watts but be more efficient so 7TH/s.

Release within 2-4 weeks.

Ognasty was right, try to get as much BTC as possible now before the halving.

random guess based on zero useful information

10T @ 2300w for around $1800

I wouldn't buy that now.   Cheesy


When do you think it will show up? I think there are two opinions here:

1) before halving - to take advantage of fools who look only at the current profitability
2) after halving - for Bitmain to mine for themselves at the current profitability

I am guessing around May 21st.  I believe it will go on sale before the halving because 1) profitability calculators & 2) collecting BTC before it potentially goes "to the moon" after the halving.

i agree, posted in main thread about this.

^^^^they might ask >$2000, but there will be very few takers considering that you can have the same hash for $1200.
they might want to hit 10K as they probably wanted to get to 5k in S7, but 9.3-9.5 is more realistic for 1400-1450w miner, could even be 8.6Th and 1293w. 1500 is too close for comfort and reduces the US market.

I mine because math
Gonna guess 6.31TH @ 1380W, hopefully in the 5BTC price range!

I think you're absolutely correct on both opinions. Why would they do one or the other?

Bitmain confirmed that the S9 is coming soon™:

http://archive.is/RANno#selection-4047.0-4109.5



So obviously the right thing to do now is to speculate on the specifications, delivery date, price etc. We have to do it quickly though - before the actual announcement - because it's no fun to speculate on something that is known.

Anyway, my guess is 10 TH/s, 1500W (they tend to creep up with each release), two weeks before halving, and too fucking expensive.

Edit: it's official - 14 TH/s, 1375W, shipping starts June 12, $2100 (~ 4 BTC as of May 31, 2016)
