I think Bitfury is busy with ETH mining instead of releasing their new chip.

bitmain is doing to bitfury the same what they did to Spondoolies: price dumping to drive a competitor out of the market, then jack up the price on their own next gen as they did with S7.

I believe you're right. I can get a ton of S7's right now with coupons at $482 each + shipping. It's tempting, for sure but other things are holding me back from pulling the trigger. I would hate to spend $80K on S7's, only to have next generation come out within two months and end up regretting my purchase.

My gut is telling me to keep my bitcoin and be prepared to dump close to the right time when the potential pump and dump arrives soon. Then buy back in at a good price after the dump to accumulate more bitcoin. I think I would be better off increasing my bitcoin wallet by potentially 30 to 80 percent than to buy rigs at the moment.

What do you guys think?

I think your 10 step plan to be a Bitcoin millionaire has FAILED. 4000 posts and nothing to show for it.

Let's see what will happend next weeks, i think it is very possible to see a new S9 miner soon; Bitfury is in silence mode since last months, so they are not very interested in us or they cannot release their chips yet; At this point, without cheap electricity it seems temerary to go for more miners...
One think i'm watching since some time ago is that the hashrate is stable... how many time will be stable??

I think that Bitmain is calling most of the shots in this business. We had a period of stability in the lead up to the S7 and I suspect we are now going through something similar as sales of S7 drop off and we wait for the S9?

Bitfury isn't interested in the consumer market. Their announcement was just to look good into their investor eyes and they have more than enough capital to fill all their DCs with their 16nm chips.

Will be reopening the shop soon! The chip is crazy and amazing.

Anyone interested in H-cards with 16nm chips?

Is it safe to call that the new "2 weeks" is "shortly" and "soon"?

Will you take 1 BTC bet?

Where are the miners punin?

B16 published specs are a bit inferior to what Bitfury has shown, and a claim of 4 months from now isn't impressive - but at least it means Bitfury will have SOME competition around the halfing....

I am unsure about sales of B16, indeed we are still unsure about sales of B11, however the early B16 Hash investors should begin to receive income about now.

Sounds like kilo17 will be getting a 1 BTC gift soon.

We can make another bet, who will be first releasing a 16/14nm miner? Bitfury, Bitmain or Innosilicon? Roll Eyes

BW.com has already released a 14nm Miner.

Rich

Yes, they are the first ones, but are they selling it? not cloudhash...

They have made some sales as 51asic has shown pictures of a delivery of multiple units. However they have not yet done their promised general release.

Rich

It looks like the specs are in the same ballpark as the S7. I can't imagine it would be worth whatever premium they would charge.

Yes the B11 / B12 first release are nothing special at 260W/TH, however the B16 "revised" release is quoting 149W/TH is a bit more like it.
