Topic: Bitmain Doubles Price for S9 - page 2. (Read 1625 times)
You are the 1 in 10. Congrats.
Bitmain has a long-standing policy that they target "6 month ROI" as the price on their miners.
I think they might have changed that to "9 month" or so on the S9 since there wasn't going to BE a "new generation on a new procss node" for years.
I'm a bit amazed it took them THIS long to bump the price up, nor does HOW MUCH it jumped shock me at all.
I'm not going to go into the ETHICS of this kind of price change, or the total LACK of ethics of them FORCING the use of that BCH coin they back for purchases from them.

That's unfair! There are not enough competitors in this market(
That's exactly the reason why Bitmain is doing such things.If there were 2 or more 14Th/s miners available, there would be a decent competition probably.
But now Bitmain are in dominant position, until Ebit or Canaan (or dragonmint
) come up with something similar.Ebit just announced their new miners. They are selling their 14Th/s miner for 4k. I don't think Canaan will be obligated to put a reasonable price either
It is simple supply and demand. They can set their pricing based on what they feel they can get for the products without competition shatching their customers.
Dont get me wrong, I was set to buy too, but at $2700, I sat out. I am monitoring all the vendors right now: Bitmain, Ebit, Canaan and thers and it looks like $200/Th is becoming the new norm.

Well, it's obvious that there is always someone that will buy them, so accepting BCH they are boosting their own currency
Well, those could gather dust for all that I would notice. Just more reason to go with gpu-centric coins. The resellers stateside were already killing me with their markups on often badly used equipment.
Bitmain owns BitcoinCash and it is 30% up today when they released their new batch
It is very likely related that they released a batch at ATH for Bcash, and btc on a dip.
Doubling the price is just another slap in the face.
We will see within a week how BTC and BTH price will flow and how much real influence Bitmain has.
Overall, a price increase by +110% will inspire a lot of existing customers to change to the alternative mining equipment supplier once one becomes available.
This.
Go Canaan.
I was set to purchase 100x S9. No way with this BS. Money is going elsewhere now and in future expansions.

Now that the S9's are sold out, that will drop back down again.

FUCK you bitmain, off to any other competitor with my business.
That sucks, I was going to order a couple yesterday but my transactions were delayed.
From where? There was no batch available yesterday that I saw. Last batch closed last week Monday @ $1415USD, for late January delivery.
I may be mistaken but I believe they were available at +-1:30am at the old price when I was looking before going to sleep. I was looking at PSU's and S9's while trying to submit a ticket for an antpool issue.
Bitmain is definitely trying to remove the young guys, miners with small budget out of the map.
Bitmain is trying to centralized the mining industry to the rich and powerful.
Jihan Wu has no different with Peter Thiel now.
Thank God, DragonMint is on the way!

it almost seems like Bitmain is antagonizing one of their competitors to try and get into a price war with them. Bitmain charges double for s9, Ebit is asking some ridiculous number.... I wonder if Canaan will now price under the s9 for their A8. I saw Phil say a day or two ago, that Canaan shouldnt try and price their A8 under bitmain and someone else thought that the A8 would sell for about 2500, now that price would even be cheaper than a S9. Bitmain is playing games because they know they run the market, trying to get someone to try and beat their price and then squeeze them out of the market.
It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow when Ebit and Canaan release their new model specs.
at this price they can keep them
it will be over 3500usd total costs including shipping and import tax
