Topic: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order - page 332. (Read 531297 times)

sales finish?

I checked around 8:30 and assumed it was all sold out and gone. So it hasn't appeared yet? Odd.

Shouldn't the announcement have already happened? Unless my world clock app is broken, isn't it 8:40 PM Bejing time?

I was all excited because I happen to be in Japan now so I'm one time zone away from Bejing. But it doesn't look like the web site has been updated.

Maybe the person who's supposed to press the deploy button is having too much fun at the Dragon Boat Festival

Does anyone have any references for a collocation/hosting company in Washington State?  How is Oregon Mines?

Also add AMT/Bitmine.ch to the Failed list.

Assuming the Founders/major stake holders in Bitmaintech do not wish to cashout of the business (yet) then they should be staying as a privately held company.

As soon as a business goes Public they must then conform to the Public investors wishes which all too often results in hostile buyout offers by companies that only want to strip and selloff the IP from their target.

IMHO it could well be that since Canaan Creative chose to be late to the 16/14nm node they (major stakeholders) decided to take the money and retire to a nice private island somewhere. As long as their IP does now belong to an "Angel" company with it's eye on the miner market, then cool.

Even cooler would be if Avalon has low-node designs in the works but never put to silicon. With the new ownership it opens the door to them maybe using Global Foundries and go 14nm. Nice safe location (upstate NY) and as far as I know, GF is open to all customers.

No objection

I just got a customs bill for my order, but it's only for the PSu,  last time l had the same thing ,, then a few days later customs bill for miner and they arrIced together,,  whoop hoop. Hope it's on it's way

Corrected you just a little  

Very nice for some scammers! They did better than KnC which is pretty amazing.

Avalon is bought out by Shandong Luyitong for $466 mil. Not bad!
I wonder if Bitmain stays private or will seek an IPO or sale.
EDIT: the price is weird (too high); we probably don't have enough info.
Is it a "strategic purchase"? Maybe Avalon had a stash of btc?
This is easily 10-20Xsales or even more.

Everyone was soo concerned with the S7 Batch 1 being 4.86GH and Batch 2 being 4.66Ghz.  I actually liked the lower hashrate because I figured it would be easier on my 120V PSUs.  So my "4.66Gh" Batch 2/4 S7s ended up doing 4.6Gh and 4.9Gh respectively AND I got them ASAP after ordering while people who "held out" for the 4.86Gh models (Batch 1/3) actually ended up waiting longer.  Still run completely fine today, never upgraded/touched anything, just reboot them every 3 months when I clean out the fans!

TL;DR:
Buy even batches, better value!  (and on my S7s it was 50/50 if they would run the faster speed anyway!)

I wonder what the price would be?
You'll get it 2wk (essentially) before halving. Interestingly, this pretty much follows what happened w/ B1 and B2 for S7.
B2 for S7 was also slightly underpowered and less in price. I am curious as to what power they will be using as well.
My calculation shows 1355W at the wall if efficiency is the same as B1 (with 93% efficiency for PSU).
Incidentally, S7 is also available for the same $440+40-50 shipping=$480-490.
I don't know who would sell their S7 for less than $400 in this situation (right now), especially that it is earning at the peak level for the next month or so.

This might be interesting, depending on how much lower the price will be.

Although I'm still waiting for Batch 3.

We will start taking orders for a limited-edition variant of the Antminer S9 tomorrow (9 June 2016) at 20:00 (Beijing time, GMT +8).
It is priced lower than the Antminer S9 and delivers a hashrate of 12.9 Th/s. Shipping will start from 20 June 2016. Place your order here while stock lasts!

Happy holidays!

When can we see S9 Batch 2 ?

Thank you

Hello everyone,

Please note that it is a 3-day National Holiday in China from June 9 to June 11, 2016 so we will neither be able to respond to queries nor be able to carry out shipping of any orders or repairs during this time.

You may email us at [email protected] for any urgent issues.

Wishing you all a merry time during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Regards,

the Bitmain team

When can we buy GH/s in HASHNEST? for this S9 new gear.

 5-15P is 120 volt US standard plug. The 220 volt versions are the NEMA 6 series - 6-20P seems to be the most commonly used.

 $7 for a standard power cable like that is also VERY high priced, unless it's 12 AWG or better - then it's just sorta high.

 14 AWG limits current, not voltage - IIRC 14 is rated for 20 amps or so.


 Global warming exists, but there's a LOT of question how much of it is human-caused, especially when the majority of it has been demonstrated to have happened before 1940 *AND* at least one major scientific study showed that CO2 levels LAG temperature increases by a few months, *AND* one study showed that global warming trends track the sunspot cycle length with GREAT precision (except for the couple years after Krakatoa, and a year or so after Mount Saint Helens).

 Keep in mind that the world was also a much warmer place in the 900s AD, and a much colder place in the 1400/1500s (look up the year that the river going through London froze completely, and the "Little Ice Age") - this is DESPITE there being a lot more humans around burning a lot more wood in the 1400s/1500s than in the 900s....


 Hint. I don't think ANY "climate model" in existance has taken variation of the output of the SUN into consideration - none of the ones I've ever seen mention of do so anyway.


 I don't think any of them take cryptomining into account either, but that's still a small blip on overall human power usage.




 I agree that the network probably won't drop 400 PH overnight at the halfing - but I suspect it will drop more than 140 short-term. I'd guess more like 200-250ish, as there are probably some folks that won't realise they're unprofitable for a while, a few that won't care, a few that have REALLY REALLY cheap or free electric that ARE still profitable even with S1s, etc.

 How long will the drop last? Depends on how fast Bitmain can ship S9s and if anyone else is shipping 14/16nm full custom generation miners by then and how fast any of THOSE can be shipped if so. I wouldn't bet on more than a few months, and it wouldn't shock me if that pre-halfing peak rate regained within 60 days estimate proves to be accurate.


 BTW - MY central heat last winter was mostly A2 Terminators, with some additional input from a few S5s, a SP20E, and my computers - I had to keep at least 2 windows open all winter at least a crack to avoid overheating my place.

So after the S9s are shipped and running, Republicans will now finally be able to believe in Global Warming, eh?  Will these replace central heating systems in homes across the planet?  I can't imagine the kind of heat these things will put off.  Also, do they come with a complimentary set of earplugs?
