If you want it at a good price, wait until about September.

Yeah I'm done wanting anything from Bitmain. Just an observer now. Perhaps will grab one or two miners if they price them right but not holding my breath. September might be correct.

I'm in the same boat. But it feels good to be an intentional bystander instead of an addict this time.

It's like being an alcoholic at a bar watching everyone else get drunk and not being tempted.

For the right price though, I'll fall off the wagon.

I'm waiting for the halving and hopefully they put these bad boys on HashNest. Even at low electricity their HashNest s7 math for me makes their cloud mining 13% more profitable even though I have $.07/kwh. Pretty crazy, huh? I just want to keep watching the price drop on these...but then again difficulty is probably going up at an equal rate or maybe even more Grin

I would guess BTC exchange rate has something to do with it. It's more expensive in USD but less expensive in BTC than the first appearance of the S9 was: ~0.26 BTC per TH/s vs ~0.28 BTC per TH/s. The 0.02 BTC per TH/s is roughly how much you can mine in 8 days, assuming these things ship on time.

Hello everyone, there was a delay in launching the 12.9Th/s Limited Edition of the Antminer S9 online. As pointed out above, it was online soon after.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,

the Bitmain Team

Why is the price per TH more expensive?

My guess is that btc moved up in price a bit. and as always when bitmaintech sees an uptick in btc price they tend to boost up the price of their miners.

Or as some would say "business is business"

Well my s-7 batch two rated at freq 575 was a god among s-7's

I could get 5100gh run at freq 637 with the ibm 2980 and get .249 watts a gh

while errors were under 0.0010 %

I ordered this one and now have 3 pieces on the way.

2 batch 1 and 1 batch 2 for about 40-41 th replaces 3 and ½ avalon 6s

so 41 th using 4100 watts vs 12th using 3500 watts

I am with you Brother! 2 Batch 1 and 1 Batch 2. I am really contemplating on a 2nd Batch 2....Hmmmm.....The upfront cost is crazy, but the offset of the Hosting cost per miner is great!

I guess they must be selecting chips, Default Frequency has dropped from 650MHz to 600MHz. Shades of S7.... I wonder how many versions we will see?

Rich

I am expecting that there will be many different batches. Based upon the previous S7, the early batches are more robust in temperature and hashing power. Love my early batches!

I did buy 1, but a tear ran down my face as I sent the Bitcoin. More money for less. Cry

On the good side, I am offsetting my monthly hosting costs! Cheesy

I think your times are off. 20:00(8pm) on the 9th = 8am EST on the 10th.

No. Earth rotates towards east, Beijing is ahead of USA.

20:00 Beijing June 9th is 8:00 New Jersey June 9th

So they are a hour and 4 minutes late.

But I was drinking last night and I am A bit hungover so my math on the time could be wrong.

1. your time is correct.
2. maybe they are too-Dragon boat festival hangover OR trying to understand the Avalon deal repercussions.

I think your times are off. 20:00(8pm) on the 9th = 8am EST on the 10th.

Just type Beijing time in your browser, you'll get an answer (9:30 pm now).

Mine Mine Mine

Local is 2128 now & still same . . .

Just watching, rather wait for next batch.

I think sales will drop & is sales drop so does the pricing, no point to rush for that 2 weeks rush before halving.

if miners gets shipped out on time, good but if it's not then gotta bitch & moan all year long for compensation like "xxx" & he is lucky to get compensated.

I doubt that 2 weeks of mining would be able to match the end result with cheaper miner past halving.

But we never know, so let's see, eager to see reviews, results, issues, etc etc etc best of luck
