Kind of crazy prices for the B6 and B7 when you consider the upcoming block reward halving..

Why is this crazy? Bitmain will try and collect whatever the market will pay for the S9. Until market demand declines, or they have some concrete competition, they'll keep prices as high as they can. The Halving really doesn't figure into their game plan, in my opinion. Find out how many folks will pay $2000 for a miner. When that pool is satisfied, find out how many will pay $1900. Keep rinsing and repeating until you have a new generation.

Bitmain isn't in the business of helping any purchaser to make money, that's the purchaser's responsibility.

Just my thoughts.
Yes.. By crazy I mean't it makes no sense for the buyer.
For Bitmain those prices of course bring a big profit.

Heck, my B2 was ~2050USD incl. shipping

And now with S9 they have stopped giving coupons for loyal customers.

On the occasion when my transaction did not confirm for two weeks it had disappeared at one point from both blockchain.info and blocktrail.com only to reappear a couple days later.  I thought it had dropped off and I was going to give it a couple more days and then resend it but the transaction was apparently rebroadcast by someone because it reappeared on both of those block explorers and then was picked up in a block soon after.

But you're right Philip, we don't really know if that is the issue without the txid.  But based on what bitmain told him I am guessing that is the issue.

@not.you  he did not post the transaction id so I don't know if it is a double spend or a low fee.

 he is new and paranoid  he with holds the info needed to help him. He could be  a liar and a troll , but most likely he is afraid that revealing the tx id will hurt him.
while in reality it should have been posted in his first post.



@ op  try reading this and looking at the screen shot this is one of many things that could be wrong.
No one can help you with out the tx id.  so post it and also take a screenshot of it like the one below  in case it falls off the system.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/can-anybody-help-me-to-confirm-my-transactions-1541249

 read here  and ask questions here  since you don't want to show the tx id


I do suggest you have screen shots of it in case it drops off the system.


this is not good enough


https://blockchain.info/tx/815bd1f2b2308efcff78c9f6823cba69b6923027a6a905ff7a97eac20f19a74a

here is one of many possible things wrong

I can tell you this it is your money but you need to have the tx id and a good screenshot posted

some problems  can drop the tx id off the system.

Hi,

I made an order for two Antminer S9 B5 than I made a direct bitcoin payment but almost 72 hours after that transaction is stil unconfirmed. Bitmain said "The payment is on the way.
We don't receive it yet. " Did anybody seen something like that?

when you buy one they send an email to you so
find the tx id.  and reply in an email to them.
see below





They obviously see the transaction ID. They wrote: "The payment is on the way"

okay do it your way.  i only have done it my way for 30 orders and always got credit within 24 hours.

 your way seems to make it last longer   so far 72 hours.    have fun waiting.


once again I led you to the water it is up to you to drink.


I think you do not understand me.
Bitmain know the transaction ID. They said the problem is with Bitcoin platform. And that is what I am asking if anybody had such a problem before. If someone can give me advice I will tell him the transaction ID.

I think all you can do is wait for the transaction to get picked up in a block.  This is why I always include an over-size fee when buying a miner from bitmain, to make sure it gets confirmed quickly.  I have waited nearly two weeks in the past for a transaction to get picked up that had too small of a fee on it.  In that case I actually thought it wasn't ever going to happen but it eventually did.

no one can help with out seeing the tx id.

if you show the id   we could see why it got stuck.   without examination of the id we would only be guessing.

I have had stuck transactions due to various reasons.  So  the id needs to be looked at , hopefully  it still exists. Since id's can drop off the system.

Physics disagrees with you, sir.

Okay then you explain it genius.


Are you simple?  You clearly don't understand how switched power supplies work.  Most modern power supplies can work on a range of AC input voltage from 100 to 240V, and yet they still produce a stable 12V DC output independent of AC voltage.  My server PSU's require 200+V, which I have measured 236V consistently at the plug.  Also, read my post from earlier:

Quote
As to the comment about AC wall voltage, read my case again and you will see that A) I had 9x S7's and 12x S5's hosted using the same AC power and B) that specific 4000W PSU was powering 1 other S7's and an S5, neither of which suffered from spontaneous self-combustion.

Input voltage had nothing to do with this failure, move along genius.

Edit: Seriously, look at the boards:



These boards failed from the inside out, possibly similar in failure to the Asicminer Prisma? I don't really know why, but I do know that the other miners on the same PSU and same building did not suffer the same problem.

like a said Obviously you don't your the one showing the burnt S7 not me. Just a question poof how many PSU's you have on one breaker think about that poofy.

That picture sure makes you look like you really know what you are doing lol.


 

Why drag poor 'ol poofy into this? I have been quiet.
Also, are you drunk?

Can't blame them for trying to get as many units out the door as possible. No way does anyone paying BTC for these recoup their investment at those prices.

Evil beware: We have waffles!
Hmm, sorta looking like 16nm production at TSMC is at full speed again no?  Cool
Now the huge question is what the Typhon due to hit Taiwan in a couple days will do...

My b5 is showing as arriving Thurs but methinks will be the last one I get for a bit.
Then again, I said that, um, a couple weeks ago with the 2nd b3 I got  Undecided

it is the most advanced machine of its kind with cutting edge technology--- with Chinese "just good enough" engineering

It is bound to have a few catch fire.  ---- nothing to see here ,,, move along

It is still hands down best Bitcoin machine available at any price


that's a S7, this is S9 thread, let's stay on topic as much as we can but much thx for sharing.

will monitor the miners closely.

Do you really believe that this can not happen with S9 ?  I already sent one S9 B1 blade to China. Costs for me 70 euro.
Blade works maximum 2-3 hours since the arrival with lower hasheate. Fortunately, he was not burned. But I have some S7 boards with fallen off chips with radiators.
