Topic: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order - page 260. (Read 531168 times)

lol i have free electricity kiddo. i also have 2 dedicated root top ac units that just cool miners so its dell not "crazy" as you like to put it. but like another dude said....everyones situation is different....what is crazy for some is great for others. im lucky to have free power but i do pay $69.95 for internet for just my miners but thats not too bad.

me too don't believe, how the hell u got 100% free electricity when others pay about USD0.13/kwh in malaysia???

1. bitcointalk.org is not America 
2. Surely if someone can't work out the time from the OP/google/havingabrain then too bad they are too stupid to run a bitcoin miner

Its like an intelligence test

in America nobody (well, almost nobody) knows what GMT is...so GMT+8 means something close to nothing
however, google helps...
it is 8am pacific, 10am central and 11am eastern, correct

Hi AriesIV10,

Its 11PM on 18 August 2016, GMT +8.

Regards,

the Bitmain team

I too am starting to suffer from retired s7 buildup In my case due to lack of more (free) power to keep them online alongside the s9's
Too bad the top chipsinks bonded to the ASIC's and their fine pitch makes removing/recycling near impossible.

Otherwise, think Sidehack Super Compaq stick miners...

So I got 2 of these, and gonna replace some of my s7's. Does anyone want my s7's they still hash perfectly. pm me with an offer I can't refuse. I have like 13 available s7's. Ordered these yesterday and they're shipped already with ups calling me to confirm. Confirm taxes again!

Close enough. Might be 11:20a or so actually. Just be sure to use the links provided as they may not show up on the main site for a while (if at all).

Just to get the time correct/confirmed, this would be 11am EDT....correct?

As others have said, methinks you are off your medication...

To expand on what I posted just a couple pages back...

If just starting a farm and based only on income per new miner -- Ja, ROI on them will be a bitch for awhile.

However, my farm income from all of the other already paid off miners pays for a s9 in ~11-14 days depending on pool luck. So pretty painless once a farm is sufficiently grown in size and aged a bit With Bitmains timing on new batch's of the s9 and me limiting myself to only 1 or 2 per cycle so far it's working out perfectly for upgrading to the s9's. Yes even my first 'overpriced' s9 batch-1 is already paid for and now earning net income.  

Started mining in mid-Feb 2014 with 2x BFL 10GHs cubes purchased for $350 each from TigerDirect , got hooked. Total out-of-pocket from Feb to about late May: $8,725 and $4k of that was for a miner from AMT/Bitmine.ch ordered on Feb. 28, 2014, not for Ants. So total fiat spent on Ants is $4,025 USD. As June of 2014 all miners I've bought for expansion/upgrades have been paid for by BTC the farm earned and that initial $8,725 is long ago repaid.

As for reliability: Currently I'm up to 75 miners bought from Bitmain ranging from their S1's through the s9. Most of course now long since retired and donated to Sidehack for their parts, just s7's and soon to be a total of 6x s9's running now.  Exactly 2 miners with troubles total, 1 s5 and 1 s7 both with DOA boards, thankfully quickly RMA/replaced by Bitmain. Works for me...

 If you're paying $120/month then yes, these miners are not going to ROI and you'd be crazy to buy one - but in MY case, they would be less than *$40* a month to run, and there are folks with a little better electric rate than I have right now.

 12c/KWH might be the current appx. US national AVERAGE rate, but most miners pay quite a bit LESS than that.

My  electricity fees is  about 85 euro for 11,5 THs . It is not "CRAZY."

"CRAZY." stupid is your calculation.

I earn more real many with mining, not with buying BTC and holding.

The right time to buy was if 1 BTC=250 euro , not if 1 BTC=500 euro.

I sell only, if BTC is back 1 BTC = 650 euro.  So far, I mine.


NEVER.
Read your own posts. You act like CRAZY.

As you yourself confess


and I do not believe in the existence of your farm.

Malaysia, we have farms ready, with fans, air flow, but now empty only with about 40 S7 left, pm if you are interested

Where you are to have free electricity?

Am beeing 100% honnest we have Totally 100% free electricity and we still don't buy those machines reliablility is too low too much work to start them up manually if you are intrested we have free electricity, and we can mind but we will never buy machines now

My order ended up going green woohoo! Hoping to also get a fast shipping confirmation

Everybody's situation is different, if it was universally unprofitable 100% of the time, nobody would continue to buy mining equipment. Its smart for some people, stupid for others. There are strategies to mining, some hold BTC earned until the price gets higher if they can afford the monthly power bill. There is no one size fits all statement that can fit every miner, we all have different circumstances. To each their own.

Are you all CRAZY or what 99 months ROI and ppls still buy , buy bitcoin instead, is USELESS stop encouraging them , look 1400 S9+ 150 PSU+ 100 shippment + Difficulty raises 5% average you will never get ROI are you all crazy??

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

Look for yourself 11T next 15 days will maybe bring if miner doesn't stop EVER which is impossible 216 $ per month reduce next difficulty for next 15 days at about 5% so will bring about 201$ one mont about 205$ next month if MINER NEVER stops 185$ now calculate electricity fees at about 120$ per month are you all CRAZY.

This shit is only making you all lose money .... stop beeing dreamers BTC price now is low simply buy BTC is way safer how can you calculate ROI of 1 year is madness

Yes, mine shipped about 10 hours after confirmation. That's a record for them.

nice! i guess they werent kiddin about them bein in hand ready to go.
