Probably because you can't orders miners at all. They are all sold old.

The R4's are not sold out now. You can buy one right now (1/13 @ 5:30 PM ET). They become available every few weeks and are typically sold out within a day. This blocking use of a coupon for Miners is Bitmain doing this on purpose at the expense of their customers.

Last year, I purchased an S9-B2 from Bitmain and it came with a defective hash board. I was provided a $100 coupon as compensation. When attempting to purchase another Miner from Bitmain, there is no option to use your coupon and it says "No available coupons". When adding anything else to the cart, the coupon option is displayed.

When I do a View Source on the order page with the Miner, the Coupon code has been removed so it will not function. When I do a View Source on the order page for something else, a Power Supply for example, the Coupon code is present and the option to apply the coupon is there. It would appear that Bitmain prevents using any coupon when ordering Miners and I have been ripped off because I cannot use my coupon for the defective equipment I was provided on my previous order. This appears to be a dishonest business practice and I am not very happy about losing $100. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

SCAM, prices are unrealistic and they communicate R4 has a build in PSU.... Huh

Thanks for great advise and kind words to everyone. Additional check of website from http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/homemining.online is not encouraging either. 99.999% SCAM.

No way they can do that price.
You use paypal to buy bitcoin.
bye bye bitcoin

I see. And PayPal buyer protection does not apply since I bought bitcoin, not goods. Thanks for hint.

you should never buy a miner from anyone with bitcoins unless you get it from a trusted source and in this case the best source for s9's would be from bitmain directly even if they arent in stock. im not here to make fun of you and im glad no one else is being a dick about it too just be careful when/if you decide to purchase miners in the future. there are alot of scammers out there that wont hesitate to steal your bitcoins the first chance they get.

I was told 180 day warranty was coming.

lmao thanks for the confirmation! I guess competition is REALLY a good thing.

And "some" announcement. People must be getting told to keep a lid on things as usual. "be patient" was the word.

Annoucment will be L3 scrypt miner

I'm in BTC XTC

Actually Bitmain has already announced that all miners purchased after Oct.1 2016 have a 180 day warranty from date of shipment. That should translate into more reliable equipment, but... Roll Eyes

I would consider this as good news only if I can send the warranty item to a US-based location.
Paying $120 to send a board to China or much more than this to send the whole miner makes no sense (to me).
In such context 90 vs 180 days is largely irrelevant.

Given the sharp drop in btc price, I expect sales to resume soon Undecided

Edit:
A surprising finding, folks:
The S9 sale link on Chinese Bitmain now carries 180-day warranty, though it's out of stock. The active R4 sale also carries 180-day warranty.

I am not sure if this is to counter EBit's E9 rigs, which first promoted 180-day in this industry.

I hope international sales will adopt the same policy in next batch!

I see activity on the Bitmain site in Chinese. They have the R4 listed for sale now, and the L3 placeholder has been put back, but not for sale. No new activity on the English site.

Why would there be S10, there is no advancment in manufact. tech. Most likely next will be on 7nm at mid/late 2018

Given that ALL companies making chips at the 14/16nm node are having issues with them -- including the likes of IBM, Intel, Samsung, AMD, and others -- 16/14nm mining ASICS are are going to be here for a long while before ASIC and other boutique application chip mfgs seriously considering financing chips at lower nodes.

I have two 13.5th autotunes that came with the Dec 6 firmware. Looks like the Dec 6 firmware takes 8 minutes to fully boot, Nov 29 was seven minutes.
Got a bit leery at the 7 minute mark when the green light was not flashing.
First autotune freaked me out the first time with the long boot sequence.

I have a pre-autotune S9 and recently I reverted it back to BM v1.0. Boot time takes less than 1 min and works for all temp ranges. The autotune fw for some reason would overheat when my temp raises above 0 degC.

Can you provide the BM v.1 firmware?

I do have the fw package. you should be able to find the link to download a few pages forward. someone posted there. if you still have trouble finding it shot me a pm. i can check my mailbox sometime later.
