Why after 14TH , 13.5

It's old unit ?
Strange...
I have difficulties to understand bit main business model...

No, you have no understanding of the difficulties of producing 16/14nm node chips.
Aside from still poor yields the chips have rather wide range of performance not only batch to batch but even as far as between dies from the same wafer. That variation is why Bitmain and others all use auto-tune to eek out the best performance from the chips.

Have a top end of 13.5 just means things were a bit off at their foundry TSMC for this batch.

1415 USD for the next batch S9 in bitmain website, but as usual you cant order due to the heavy traffic towards site.
Chinese business model is so so so outdated, if they would have invested in a proper server they would sell x3 times faster, but no of course...

The site is loading slower than usual, true, but it’s not crashing or anything. It’s somewhat to be expected when you have thousands of people and bots trying to check out st the same time, of course their servers will be a little bit overloaded.

Bitmain is still taking BCH only. I’ll post here when they take BTC again, they probably won’t for a long time.

I just tried to open site, and it opened < 1 second, maybe you have problem with your net? And sale is still open...

My guess is Bitmain will continue accepting only BCH until S2X forks. Don’t know what they’ll do then, possibly only accept S2X coins or BTC again. Either way Bitmain is keeping BCH on life support by doing this, probably so BCH is still profitable while EDA is up when they are mining BCH.

I can agree with low quality chips thou, because i have seen a lot of topic here in last few days were people are complaining about dead boards in there, or like "bought 12, 3 is already DEAD"... Something has been very lowish quality with them then since that is happening. I only HOPE with mine everything will be alright(willing to take that risk)

Which ones did you order? And how many? I just wish they accepted USD wire for this new batch, then I might order another, but chances
are pretty slim.

I suppose they only accept BCC for this new batch

Nope, they accepted only BCC for the last 2 batches, i missed last batch for only 1 day, but not for the next one! It will be open soon.
Based on last 2 batches, i think that next one as well will be only BCC.

I havent ordered any, will order 1 when next batch is open

There is no new batch released yet, neither English or Chinese website.

That's kinda given, since it will be released tomorrow at 11:00, (GMT+8) Wink

Make your alarms guyz, we have camping time to do tommorow Cheesy

Why are they releasing now 13.5 TH/S model instead of the 14 TH/s model they had last time?

I guess they have old used machines that they want to sell. Explains it?

Honestly i have no idea, that could be the possibility, they are upgrading their farms with 14 TH/S. I can only speculate about that question, batch before 14 TH/S was 13.5 as well

I'm pretty sure the average quality of the chips in this batch is slightly lower. This overall per machine makes them to lower the speed it will be expected to run at. They only find out after running a relevant batch of machines for a few hours, to see what results they bring.

what will this batch will cost?
around 1000usd can we expect now?as the difficulty have skyrocketed right now .

nobody knows except bitmain. we should wait and see

Somehow there doesn't always seem to be a logical link between price and difficulty. At this point I'm also expecting them to just try raising the prices with the USD exchange rate climbing.

www.antminereurope.com is a scam! (check the office adress in Paris on google maps)

they copied the site from https://www.antminerdistribution.com/ which is reliable but not offering much.

I was immediately thinking about those Dutch guys, then checked their address and they claim to be in France. I'd steer away from that site.
