Totally agree with you guys. WAAAAY over priced!!! If you're willing to spend that much you may aswell spend the another $200 on an S9 for the other 33% of hashpower.

That's my weekend ruined, thought I was actually going to get some decent hashpower for a HOME MINER. Yes Bitmain that's right a HOME MINER hasn't got $1395 to spend (plus shipping) just for a quiet-er miner.

Shipping is included.

That is not true.  It specifically says that shipping is not included and you have to add the item to your cart and go to check out to get actual shipping costs.

Sadly this is way over priced for me.  I would've considered it at $1000 just to play with it but not at this price.

Evil beware: We have waffles!
Damn.  BTC2.431 for it. So much for the $1,000 ballpark they gave when they announced the R4.
Think I'll just get another s9 instead, BTC2.792 for a batch 13 and >4THs more speed...

I agree with the previous posts. At the current price ($1400) and with no PSU included I'm not even going to consider it. IMO $1,000 would be the maximum reasonable price for this miner at the time of launch. Oh, and they should've designed the PSU to be able to power two of these miners. What a flop!

Sorry Bitmain, I was wrong, you're on time but that's about the only positive thing to say about this.

Same price for 2/3 of the hashrate... sheer idiocy.

Way too expensive... However, some will buy due to self inflicted power and\or noise restrictions...

And it is up.  $1400 per unit with no PSU.  And its a flop!

EDIT: With another $240 for the PSU

Ha, as I said, it will increase the value of used S7 by $100, maybe $150.
$1395X4.7/8.6 (X0.7-premium due to efficency coefficient)=$533 value for S7.

EDIT: With another $240 for the PSU that looks to be only able to power 1 unit

I'm on GMT and its 15:40 and its still not listed on their site.

I'm willing to bet that you're on BST but who cares. It's on in 5 minutes, or more likely ~25, since Bitmain is rarely on time with these sales.

Bitmain WANs us to focus on the $1000 r4?  Grin

Can we mine altcoin through this miner as i am new to this mining field, and what percentage of hashpower will it use to mine the altcoin and what about the software to mine it. and what algorithm will it use to mine the altcoin. If any one can help me with the spec of this miner.

if you would rather mine PPC with your R4 once you have it, here is one of the many POOLS you can mine PPC on https://peercoin.ecoining.com it must pay something ,some miner park S9 and S7  A6 on that POOL .


Trade those PPC here for ETH or BTC or whatever coin they support . https://shapeshift.io/#/coins


8 mins my time good luck .
