What's the best replacement fan for an S9?   I have one unit that's quite a bit more whiney than the others.

Thanks!

possibly, shoot me an offer

Yes, it smells bad.  But how anticipate ?!

I did not choose well my moment to buy miners just after the big peak.
It seems to be more a trading momentum...

Below 20% of its value?

I will beat your price, I got 30X350 coupons and 10X420 better to pay me off now before a price war

Selling a few 350 USD, 220 USD and 420 USD coupons for 35% of its value, 20% if you take them all (25 x 420 USD, 5 x 350 USD and 20 x 220 USD).

Yeah and I hope u anticipate the high network increase that comes with cheap miners too.

Just received the new coupon mail too.

It's so nice to see this ''cheap'' prices and coupons 
when you have recently bought s9 at high prices ( high price, high import taxes where I live ) , in addition to having lost in change because of the BCH drop rate ( because you can not do USD wire )

Tomorrow one S9 purchased , two S9 and a L3+ for free ?  And a Bitmain keychain ?

But no hashboards available as buy part ( yes I know when s9 will be at 400 usd a single coupon will be enought to buy 3 HB )
Thanks bitmain.

With a $420 coupon an L3+ is $530 including shipping. Crazy.

Man im envious of you guys with the $350+ vouchers!. My brother has some $200s he said i could use if i decide to order some this go around. 

On a side note I have 13 $125 vouchers im willing to donate to free to any member or members on here who would use them.  I know that low value isnt as in demand but if it can help anyone just shoot me a PM and I can send you some.

I have some $220, pm me

Has anyone got a $220 or $420 voucher they don’t need? I only have $100 vouchers

Guess who's expanding his mine

This guy............ Part of the advantage I got for having to sacrifice living in a good country.

They gave me 3 x $100 but I should have received 2 x $100 and 1 x $420

They can't even do coupons right!

They can also just force people to buy new miners which makes them more money still, which is what they seem to be doing. I don't know when the last time they sold hashboards and parts for miners was, but I think they stopped around the time of the S7. Repair services like MyRig/Bitmainwarranty are out there and reputable, and it is possible to find hashboards (albeit most are used) on eBay, though prices there seem to be upwards of $600.

Bitmain's got so many customers that they can afford to use cheap materials to make their miners cheaper and increase their profit margins, other companies like Avalon offer much more reliable and robust machines than Antminer units. It's sad but true. Their first few iterations of the Antminer like the S1 up to the S3 were pretty good, then they started falling from there.

Haha, as we speak, Bitmain just emailed me to say that they are giving out more coupons!

So, I got 1 x $420. Tempting to buy S9, tempting...

If the current rewards continues riding at under $0.50 / per day / per TH, I do not suspect difficulty to keep increasing.
Just look at bitcoinwisdom and their difficulty predictions... We should be holding at roughly where we are for the next little while. The next prediction has it as going up by less than 1.5%.

I personally think what has happened in the last 4 weeks when it comes to ASIC machine costs, BTC price and difficulty is great for weeding out those that were trying to make a quick buck and great for the long term health of the [Suspicious link removed]dluck trying to flip those S9s purchased for $2000+ USD now...

I just wish that the ASIC machines on the market right now were more robust. I find it extremely strange that Bitmain won't offer brand new hashboards. They would honestly make a killing and would make more money selling the parts than the whole units themselves. I could see them having no problem selling S9 boards for $400US and they would sell hundreds based on the fact that there are countless people out there right now out of warranty with dead hashboards in their machines.

At current btc price, might as well buy straight from exchanges and hodl till profitable to sell.

Mining is slow and it is subjected to the same amount of risk (if BTC dips further) for lesser reward.
 

I'm in the same boat. Another month or so and I can expand again with another s9. Hopefully low prices will continue. I've already got the cord and the space ready for it.
