Topic: Bitmain Introduces the S19 and S19 Pro - page 2. (Read 4784 times)
If anyone manages to catch the price and ship date, please share.
Bitmain just announced on twitter they will be opening sales at 1500 on 2/25 (GMT+8) for an S19j. 90th @ 3100w = 34.5 j/th.
No price indicated yet, or if they'll accept btc for payment.
And that's 2am tonight EST.
I suspect they collected all the imperfect chips previously set aside, not good enough for the s19 or s19pro......and threw them in a box to sell as the s19j.....to salvage income from the imperfect parts. (Reminds me of packaging burnt potato chips or pretzel pieces and selling them as a unique product).
I will not be partaking in this model. I just sold some coin over the weekend and bought my wife a 2019 MB GLC AMG 43.

Yeah, I was hopeful when I saw your post about the pros. However, I got the s19s at a fairly decent price (and to be fair when btc was half its current value too I guess) and I'm super skeptical of bitmain now wanting more coins/delays/etc who knows. As always, communication from them is...
I just picked up my two January batch S19 (non pros) yesterday and they've been hashing at 95.7 and 95.7 TH/s for the past 20 hours. The units are noticeably quieter than the T17+ that died on me last month. Otherwise, the major thing to note is that they use Bitmain's new GUI, as posted in philipma1957's s19pro review.
I don't have a watt-meter or too many sophisticated tools to perform an in depth review but I'm happy to answer any specific question, if any.
Anyone have any guesstimates about when the s19 (non pro) January batch will ship?
Today? Tomorrow? Next 5 days?
The Jan s19pros shipped days ago no reason s19 won't ship in the next week.

Yes have had one since July, not sure as to its physical dimensions as its hosted remotely, but the GUI cool.
Yep we got our one s19pro yesterday.
it is physically a much larger unit than the s17.
taller wider deeper.
new gui.

January batch of S19-Pro is shipping
Might be some difficulty hikes coming.

Well they do some mining. So they want cash to pay bills while they hold the btc from mining.
Pretty safe hedge.
Pretty safe hedge.
And as price increases the more important is it going to be that miners don't sell too much or they will depress the price. I bet neither would TSMC be keen on accepting bitcoins in lieu of fiat for their chips.

I am going to read the articles thanks.
First 2 were good. Third one I need to subscribe.
I wonder if we really cant get much gear for the whole year.
I actually like it if true.

Most of their articles are paid (and not cheap) but someone often archives them anyway.

Yes UPS was mental, price was ok if 2 or more ordered but something wrong with it if only ordering one.
Wonder why they stopped accepting BTC

Seem like convincing explanations for the longer than usual delays in shipping. Even larger buyers are going to be waiting up to 12 months for their orders.

Here is an update, since my post on Dec 18 prices have increased quite a bit
S19 pro = $3769
S19 = $2767
T19 = $2118
And the best part is, they are SOLD OUT, it mentions that the shipping date is 1-31 August, I am sure it will be late August, maybe 1-3 days before the month ends, so these buyers will be getting their gears in September at best case scenario, if this isn't a bad deal, I don't know what is, but let's wait for 8 months and see how does this buy turn out to be.

$220 USD to ship to the states was most recent. I think Bitmains UPS rate is broken again, posting about +$1.7k charge .. .. .

Shipping cost for one miner was a bit mental, but yes USD transfer only
No btc payment option. What sense does that make? Can't pay with btc to buy product from btc mining company? I thought that was a highlight of btc...
At least they didn't try to make folks use BCH again...
I went ahead and signed in, put an s19 in my cart. Went to proceed to check out and it said order placed, continue to payment. Then the only option available was instructions to wire USD. No btc payment option. What sense does that make? Can't pay with btc to buy product from btc mining company? I thought that was a highlight of btc. Being able to transfer money around the world in a few minutes.
Yeah well.
Yeah well.
What has changed? strange enough, I wanted to try if I could pay with BTC so I created a dummy order, and to my surprise, I get an error message that says:
Seems like they blocked my account or something, since it's unlikely that I will ever buy from them again, it doesn't really matter.
Sorry I couldn't confirm the payment methods because that error shows up before the payment page.

anyone notice that bitmain is only taking USD wires for their new miners?
That sucks, paying with BTC was nice.

it so stupid that they are pushing to August for buyers like us, yet there are companies getting deals for thousands of miners and Bitmain has no issue filling those orders.... or is that why the normal buyer has to wait so long?
Everyone prefers bulk sales, no?
Riot Blockchain alone has 8000 S19pro in orders which bitmain has to deliver by April of 2021, they agreed on 2000 miner monthly, and the whole world seems to be facing chips shorage, so even if Bimain worked twice as hard, I don't think they will be able to manufacture any more gears that what they already need to send out, so after all, maybe paying for a gear that is planned to be delivered 8 months laters isn't going to be a terrible idea when it's already August 2021 and we are looking back into the past, with that being said, I will NEVER order a gear with that amount of time I have to wait.
