I also wanna buy S9, B3 but the price went up 100$?? better wait then after halving..

in theory the batch 3 will ship today if you pay today.

while batch 2 ships on the 20th

so for 100 usd you get it 5 days faster.

it would earn 95 usd in 5 days if you have 10 cent power

it would earn 103 usd in 5 days if you have 5 cent power.

Well, price could possibly drop to 1900 or so and there'd be almost no difference. The problem is, Bitmain has the right to manipulate the prices as much as they like, because they're the only big company making any chips and miners right now. i'm guessing the "demand"(pretty high, i assume) will make the price go up AGAIN for the S9. Dunno why it's "limited edition" though. Maybe I missed something, but aren't all their miners "limited"? They all eventually become not produced anymore.

Better to have 100 friends than 100 rubles

Ordered one on June 1st, DHL got the shipping paperwork on June 12th, actual pickup on the 13th (China time). Was thrilled to see DHL predict delivery yesterday by end of day. Didn't happen.

Called DHL today and was told the unit was apparently stuck in Chinese customs. DHL US has the paperwork, but not the box yet. *sigh*

Also just spent 2 hours signing another transaction.. guess I shouldn't mine to my trezor address!

The issue is that the Trezor signs rather slowly. If you have a lot of inputs, like you will if you've received mining proceeds, then the total signing time can be very slow.

The way I deal with this is mine to a different Trezor account. Periodically, and when I'm not in a hurry, I consolidate by sending from the mining account to the main one. This way when I spend from the main account it's fast.

Im waiting until someone receives theirs and provides feedback on the unit. I have to admit im excited to hear how they perform. Beast of a machine.

Some kano.is miners already got machines:

s9-20160608-650M-release.tar.gz is available from bitmaintech now; it shows a compile date (/usr/bin/compile_time) one day later than the firmware my Batch 1 shipped with, fwiw...

I've got an incoming transaction sent on June 6th that still hasn't confirmed, and an order with Bitmain from yesterday still pending. Blocks have been very full lately. Whatever happened to upping the cap?

How do you make a payment in BTC in less than an HOUR?

The entire network has not found a block in

Network: 66m (416434)

please explain

I have a payment thats been status ? for 3 hours now and mid setting on confirmation time.

how this (66min for a block) is even theoretically possible? It seems to go way over five sigma.
does it mean that a lot of hashing power is fake a.k.a INTENTIONALLY setup to NOT find blocks? is this even possible?

Surprisingly 66min is just under 3sigma if the network is running at 10min/block:

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=CDF%5BExponentialDistribution%5B1%2F10%5D,+66%5D

0.99864

thanks for really running the numbers-I just guesstimated; it is surprising, indeed.

According to Kano the network has been pretty much on schedule. Last block found 9min ago as of this post.
However - I made my buy at 11:00a and so far just over 4hrs later no acknowledgement from Bitmain.

So far in the past they have eventually confirmed payment when a delay like this happens but still...

66m block time was from kano.is

Given the recent trading activity, value spikes, etc... it makes sense for the network to be clogged a bit. We also have to consider the notion bigger farms are shutting off in preperation for the split so that their hardware can be sold for more before the split if they are thinking they will devalue more from the split.

I am waiting ~6 more blocks for my pool payout which usually confirms right away....

So its everything. Check blockchain.info They have all recently been completely full blocks with a high total value transacted...

This is good. This shows us that BTC is taking actually being used more and more and gaining adoption.

edit: the tx finally cleared and got conf from Bitmain. 6hrs after sending from my wallet and with Blockchain already having showed >12 block conf's when I had checked 4-hrs into the wait for confirmation from Bitmain on the tx, but done.
