Guess they were not counting on $1000+ btc
If BTC went to $2000 they would have to increase the miner price, would be more demand
Whatever people will pay

with the paypay 8% and ebay 18% fees you to mark things

up at least 25% to make a profit otherwise its not worth it

now in lower than 12 hours there new board that replaced on paid repair is start to give me X's every time i reboot
in temp lower than 86C and after i send the other both boards!

What temp is reading 86c? the chip or board temp?

the chip with auto fan
we have temp lower than 10C now in winter
they sent me 550M board by mistake which have lower heatsink like this

i installed 550 firmware and it's working fine for 90 minutes now
now if they repaired my both boards and send it back i still need to work them on 550M to protect this one from damage
i am disappointed and don't know what should i do with them!

all of them is antminer S9 why the heatsink is diffirent ?
i want to buy 1 for try mining (currently im using gpu) but after see that's pict, it's make me confusion

Amazon and eBay are gouging the crap out of folks

I haven't checked out amazon but people are selling these for crazy amounts on ebay. Is it only because they haven't released a new batch in a while? Hopefully they plan to continue with another batch.

Birdie told me announcement soon, about all I know. Maybe tomorrow?

did birdie told you that they will change the warranty from 90 to 180 days and use this to "change" prices?
amazon/ebay pricing tells you something, I believe. It will not be the same, of course, but it will correlate.

I hope not, the prices that people are selling their S9's for on ebay are ridiculous!

Lol amazon and ebay have always been stupid high, can't use that to gauge anything.
Not saying you are wrong, just that those are not markers of a change.

You may want to try the autotune firmware, the latest firmware from bitmain.
I take it that you have tried the save&apply button on the configuration page and the reboot from the gui.
Power supplies can be funny too, I use bitmain 1600 mainly.
I do have a few s9's I run in pairs with three corsair rm1000 psu's.
Each rm1000 runs two boards. They are much quieter. The bitmain 1600 has a bit of a whine with the small fan on it.

first one i lost board from it after a month and send it to warranty, they replaced it
after 2 months this board stopped again and i sent it to them to paid repair
today i get another board and after i put it on my machine the hole machine stopped hashing
after i opened a ticket the gave me 600M firmware to install

someone sell antminer S9 12.93 with power supply and cord cable by 1500$ ( Shipping inclusive )
12 months warranty
i asked him if this machine from BM in china he told me there are 2 company ( japan - Taiwan ) have permission from BM to make this machines and he working on Marketing department on the company on Osaka, japan
his facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/BITCOINTOOLSPRO/

is that true ?

NO. Major scammer alert on this.

The simple fact that the ASIC chips themselves are boutique items (produced in small batches vs in continuous mass-production cycles) and ergo in extremely short supply means ONLY Bitmain will ever make and sell miners based on their chips. Plain and simple fact is that Bitmain has absolutely no reason to have bare chips produced that are destined for resale to other manufacturers.

I am curious what that means when we say "longer warranty". They could say lifetime warranty for that matter... So far the feedback here on the forum seems to indicate that people are not getting warranty coverage.

If you are shipping back to China with no insurance for replacement/repair(they tell you to declare the value at less than $45), lost productivity time, and high shipping costs.... IF you can get Bitmain to honor the warranty it sounds like you may have to consider yourself lucky. And the failure rates people are reporting here are still pretty high.

So what value is the warranty if the cost under warranty turns out to be about the same as the cost to just send it to BitmainWarranty for support? At this point extending the warranty for Bitmain is just a marketing move because it doesn't cost them anything and somehow it eases the customers mind.. Until they have to use it.

Use the bitmainwarranty.com $84 90 day USA warranty.
