Dear Bitcoiners

Yes, its true that we are launching the second batch of the Antminer R4 today.

Please don't forget to adjust the BTC exchange rate Wink

Is this going to happen or is everyone just going to pay an extra $55 for their R4?

Yeah that exchange rate is horrible right now.

A ) 741 vs 774 please at least try to be closer
B ) I just spent a fortune on some Avalon 721's So if you were to sell the R4 at a good price you could rack up.
C ) I could buy 1 or 2 R4's so a nice price would help
D ) I call them as I see them so this gear may be a nice item if you drop price a bit or offer better warranty.

Any info on how to import those to EU without paying VAT and customs fee ? (can double the price of HW in my country...)

You can try www.eastshore.xyz who sell bitmain gear. HagssFIN has bought three from them and they declare customs value at $90 so save on some fees.

Or buy from a member on here and ask to declare less value. Otherwise as you say you'll be stung massively for customs duty etc. I'm from the UK so looked into it a fair bit.

I have bought
-1x S9 from Bitmain
-2x S9 from Eastshore
-1x S9 from user BtcCrazy1

I'm really looking forward to this second batch of R4 and I might buy one if the price is reasonable.

I would be quite excited as I do want to have a R4 for fun at the moment.

I also received the same email this morning as I inquired about R4 stock a month ago. I set my alarm to potentially order a few.

My S9 is not more noisy than an S3 at the moment. Plus heat output is great as it saves on heating at this time of year.

You're saying the S9 is about the same noise level as an S3?? Or your under-clocked S9 is similar to S3?

My underclocked S9 Wink

Its running 4Th in ambient/room temps of 20c. Fans are 1680rpm and 2400rpm (back one is a different fan to front but will be changed to the same as the frpnt fan to get the rpm down). Board temps are 45-47c and chip temps are 75-78c.

Its no nosier than the standard clock S3's I had. Its currently under my desk Cheesy

no underclock needed. In lower temp environment autotuned 11th S9 may have fan speeds of 3.8K and 2.2K rpm. That's S3 numbers or even lower.

Oh hell yeah! Hopefully batch 2 has some tuned up specs!!!

Im intrigued by the specs. I was going to buy one when they were last on sale as they are "quiet" and im a home miner, but ive bought an S9 instead and underclocked it massively (4Th) plus will be changing the fans etc to get it even quieter than it is now (fans running 20%). But I was always going to underclock the R4 anyway to the same Th as im limited on power usage.

Only thing that put me off was the fact they were only slightly cheaper than the S9 and weren't the same hashing power. So youre paing a big premium for them being quiet.

Not only quiet but also far less heat output. I'm fortunate to have next to free electricity but noise/heat were an issue for my S9s so I sent them elsewhere to be hosted. I love my R4, have another one arriving today and will likely pick up 1-2 more tomorrow.
