Holy crap -- after just 15hrs from ordering, mine have already shipped!

well...no....they weren't under priced...bitcoin prices went up by about $20 per coin depending on the time they looked at the price so adding $42 to the price kinda reflects that price change.

Wow another wave of S9

Who has not bought yesterday with batch10 and batch 11 prices
(https://goo.gl/iVJKlC) for batch 10
(https://goo.gl/cP8UKA) for batch 11
to them we sell with a higher price tomorrow
We suggest everybody to confirm their order here (https://goo.gl/j8PLzh) for batch 12 or here (https://goo.gl/4Bk4v9) for batch 13 before they sell out.
Soon the price will rise for following patches.
This means the batch 10 and 11 were under priced. I am annoyed at them for pricing them too low.
Frankly these two batches are under priced. They should 1500 and 1650. Sooner or later 900ph of s-7 and avalon 6 will die when that happens this gear will be more valuable.
I can tell you right now bitmaintech is terrible with warranty, but the price for this gear is still too low. It would sell out at 1550 and 1650. What has happened is people with low power will buy it. If my solar array could do 20 of these I would have 20. I think most of us that are buyers are very low power cost people and we all believe that 900 ph of s-7 and avalon 6s will stop mining.

Hello everyone,
Can you answer my question please?.....
It will be available after the scheduled time.
What is the "scheduled" time now then - & how long after? It's been a month since the last "scheduled" time frame passed.
After all, you are legally required to do this:
Quote
S9's firmware package with bmminer's binary application file is in preparing, Need get some files from ALTERA FPGA's project. We will upload the sdk of S9 which can be used to create S9's firmware package. The estimation time is about next week.
Please feel free to contact us if there is any question.
Best regards,
Andy
Bitmain

Edit: Aaand offline they go again - that's the second time Bitmain have avoided answering this question.....
I am beginning to think that Bitmain are trying to hide something from us - why else would they deliberately break the Open Source GPL Licensing terms by stealing someone's code & then refuse to show what changes they have made, despite promising to do so?

So where are you folks finding these pages with s9's batch 10 or 11? I usually check Bitmain a couple times a day and for s9's so far only see the gray link batch9....
links to follow
here they are:

no they never open they just read sold out. read bitmain's response to me on bottom of this post
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15928762
look at their main hold address
https://blockchain.info/address/1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V
The pages were up this afternoon, around 1400 Pacific time - I almost decided to pull the trigger on a couple of the 11.83 TH units, but had errands to run - and the pages had poofed (except via the direct links in this thread) by the time I got home.
Guess I'm still waiting to either (1) accumulate enough bitcoin to get a 3-unit preorder of the Innosilicon A4, or (2) waiting to see what else shows up in the next month or two.
I suspect chip availaibility on ANY 14/16nm stuff is going to be spotty for a while - look at how hard it is for NVidea and AMD to keep THEIR new cards in stock anywhere - that's NOT a small number of wafers involved....

Ended up picking up another S9, sent the bitcoin to the address they gave me, order expired... I'm assuming after emailing them that they can manually adjust this? Has this happened to anyone else?
This happens all the time. It'll be fine as long as the payment actually got confirmed.

It has happened to others in the past. If your wallet shows the BTC as sent - and preferably has a few confirms on it - then the order went through and Bitmain's system will catch up with a conf email in a day or so.That's reassuring, hoping i didn't just lose out on a nice chunk of change. I appreciate the response!
When you order they send an email to you.
Reply to the email tell them you paid and give them the tx id.
You should get an auto response and they will update in under a day.

Reckon they'll do like they've done a couple times before and reopen sales in a couple hours once we're all panicking and desperate?
I'd be a lot happier if they sold you some chips
Biggest problem *this time* in getting Bitmain to even talk about selling chips is the safe bet that TSMC no doubt still has a cap on how many wafers of boutique 16nm chips Bitmain can get per-month. That said, all are slated for Bitmains consumption only (Ants) with none planned for loose chip sales.

ANTMINER S9-B11, Sold Out.
August 16, 2016, 04:20:35 PM
Its a VERY VERY large -IF- ...... for me .... to jump on the S9 bandwagon
If BTC's value starts to go to the moon...
&
If the cost of the S9 drops....
&
If I start building a solar array to supplement power.... $0.13111/kWh is not cheap....
Till then, my S7's are sitting awaiting a solar array.... realistically, they may never mine again.... --I-- many never mine BTC again, just too many ifs to line up to make it profitable again with a half-way decent ROI on any new equipment purchased....

I am resisting for now. But if BTC goes up some more I might bite on one more. I have one more S7 to replace. I sure wish there was another mining manufacturing option available.

And boy howdy! Bitmain's main wallet is smokin' busy now!
https://blockchain.info/address/1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V
That is a lot of ph coming online.
Even accounting for folks like me who will be taking 3x s7's offline to free up power and replacing them with the 2x s9's it is still gonna make for a big bump in hashrate.
