BTC.COM (also Bitmain owned) is 0% fee and pays transaction fees. They call it "subsidy." No guarantee how long it will last. Plus it's PPS.

That sounds like the best payout/lowest risk pool out there. I'm on Kano. I may point my new S9 to BTC.com, but I really prefer to stay outside the Great Firewall.

BTC.com pool is run by Roger Ver who is trying fork the chain to BU, DO NOT SUPPORT THIS POOL!

I think you are mistaken btc pool with roger's pool

Could be fun Cheesy

Getting Avalon's (2x 741's arriving Fri) is rather like vaping vs having a cigarette: Works but not the same rush...

You're killing me, dude! First round/hit on me! Wink

Hmm, that reminds me... Gotta tally up how many s7's I have. Think it's a couple dozen.

A while ago I talked with another member here who is in the MM business, said that he has a (I assume legal) grow-op in my area with 3-cent power and brought up maybe hosting there... Might say give him half the s7's in return for 6mo-1year of 'free' hosting the other 1/2. Only problem with that is the PSU's from the s7's now power s9's. Damn.

Swapping out 2 low(ish) power s7's, plugging in a s9 to fill the power freed then getting over 2x more speed while pulling a bit less power vs what the s7's did together... Priceless.

Now the problem is how to deal with unsightly off-line s7 buildup...
I have -- a LOT of them... Undecided

At least with my s1's, 3's, a s4, and all of my s5's I was able to put them on a pallet and send them to Sidehack as a parts donation

I'd be interested in buying a coupon from someone who doesn't want to use it. Looking to send another miner to my DC, will pay 0.12BTC. Not sure why I'd do this, but sometimes you have to say, "wtf!"

That was my feeling. No coupon (I skipped the last 2 rounds of s9's) but price was much better and with BTC being sky high right now, decided to roll dem bones on another to satisfy my Jones'ing for a while..

tx is still unconfirmed btw https://blockchain.info/tx/a2c8d0f9e9d6185cf5dd0383812e123d3e8f330b87b012de5eb58edacb08245f

Out of 7 S9s you have 6 dead boards? That's ridiculous.

Ouch!!!
I've been luckier than that. So far 10x s9's starting from batch-1 (still the fastest) on up. Total of 2x hash boards died long out of warranty. Had repaired in CO.

R4's... 1x Batch-4 runs great as does one of the batch-6. Both flawless so far. The 2nd b6 that arrived just 4 days after the first - 1 hashboard died just after 24hrs. Will eventually sent to CO for paid repair but for now is running @ 4.6THs on the 1 good board.

That said, ordered a new s9 a couple hours ago. After the latest round from Bitmain, fingers crossed on how it runs... Now just have to wait for the tx to be confirmed... Sent from wallet 5hrs ago and still unconfirmed! yeesh...

I probably will get 1 more s9 eventually but I only have a few more under-clocked/volted s7's left to take off line at work. I *do* have a power budget to stay at so eventually it will be just s9's and assuming my 2 new ones arrive tomorrow, 5x Avalons: 3x 721's and 2x741's Cheesy

Did not get a coupon. As the Donald would say sad. So sad.

@ bitmain

so purchasing 7 s-9's

and buying 2 r-4's

of which

1 dead board for the r-4's

6 dead boards for the s-9's

1 or 2 dead controller for the s-9's

means no coupons

total of 25.038 btc

plus about 600 in repairs sent to bitmainwarranty

and not a single coupon.

The coupons are $300 each and can be used for 1 new order of a S9 each. It seems to me, the buyers of the last batch got one, for each S9. The coupons are transferable.

Thank you.

If anyone has any other coupons I'd take one too for 0.1BTC.

by the way: looking to buy 2 valid S9 coupons, for BTC0.1

Wait, can you explain the coupon thing to me? Did they give them out to those who bought the S9 a week ago for ~$400 more? So they have a ~$400 coupon that they can just give to anyone to purchase miners with?

They probably will start shipping much earlier, the miners are on stock. The march 31st date is to have an argument for the guys who paid $400 more a week before Grin

Haha.

As noted above, BITMAIN has issued $300 coupons for S9 purchases. I have 2x of these that I will more than likely not be using.

Anyone looking to make a purchase in this batch, I'd be willing to transfer them for a fair price. Private message me - US located.

you know that you got machine(s) from the worse batches if you got a fat coupon like this.
I would sell the coupon and keep the cash for a repair that might (or might not) happen.

I think they just understood that the price they set for their latest batch was way too high. Their new price is more appropriate.

what is the new price of new batch ?

It's there...$1464+shipping, so, maybe $1520-1524 for a 13.5TH...probably had a big customer reneging at prior (higher) price.

1520+ 120 psu = 1640

1640 / 1260 / 13.5 = 0.097 BTC/THS and ships at 31th march, aka 1 month later. ships to late. There will be 15%-20% diff increase in a month.

A week ago they had their new batch priced at $1850, only now have they come down on their price. People were not happy about $1850 for an S9.
