are there assumptions when s11 appears?
I was under the assumption that the s11 would introduce a new chipset, which of course no one is expecting any time soon.

Who proved it? None of my S9s ever broke down. They were the most reliable and profitable machines.
I have, because I manage thousands of each type. The T9s are easily 3 times as reliable as the S9.
Whats the lifespan of an average S9 and T9 and wat temps do u run it at?

Lets hope samsung re-evaluates the market and backs off.
I don't understand how they managed to keep things hush hush and have a foundry running, at full capacity and mass producing chips by the end of January as per that article.
I find it very odd that they literally released something like this at the end of January...
Well, they are a big company. This is like a small thing to them.

T9+ seems useless, uses more power for 25% less hashrate.
It’s already been proven that the t9 is more reliable than the s9.

Sold out again, just now. I'm in the US, northeast, can anybody lay out for me what additional expenses I can expect? Shipping, customs, etc. I read the thread, there's some conflicting information in there, especially the ups hostage taking thing, which I understand seems random, but the rest of it I'd love to see it laid out in simple terms. If anyone familiar has the time. Please and thank you.
You need PSU - $105
Shipping ~$140 per unit
Customs depends how many units you buy. If you buy under $2,500 should be no customs. Not sure how UPS charges but I paid ~$40 for 6 units as well as 1 unit (which was actually under $2,500). I think when you already in their system and it comes from the same location in China they will charge you even if it's under $2,500. Maybe somebody else had different experience?
Belgium:
600€ (750$) to custom clearance alone for L3+ and PSU here..

Guys, number of active workers in my pool (will not mention name, but it is one of the most popular) is increasing every day for this week.
Only for yesterday it was nearly 7% increase in number. Very very interesting trend, like this difficulty will raise as hell. Now with Bitmain shipping T9 in 10 days and S9 in 2 months only, ASIC mining in short term will be a big challenge IMO.

Everything is in stock!

They could've already manufactured these miners beforehand and they're just planning to dump them all in March. Considering difficulty is continuing to skyrocket and the price continues to fall, Bitmain could be doing this to prepare for the launch of a new miner. All speculation though.
Definitely some underlying reason why they are selling off, new more powerful miners coming out in April from other suppliers.They are grabbing cash while they can, Bitmain are always good to watch as their market predictions are in the majority correct.
BCH at v low price that they accept for miners, almost certain to rise soon if Bitmain are receiving them now.

TSMC lands big orders for mining ASICs from Bitmain

Not good. It seems the asic manufacturers are going to war? Bitmain will win but at wat cosr to miners. Reminds me of how OPEC increased production to kill off shale oil producers. OPEC made far lesser money then and shale oil producers lost alot. I guess this will be the case for samsung. Mining profit will be really low though, unfortunately. Juz a 6 gpu rig makes alot more than any asic now lol. That is ridiculous considering asic is so much easier to handle.

All 16mm, so they either up the efficiency or they continue to run the s9's into the ground.

This is not good. Difficulty going up and more manufacturers joining the asic party as it is. Bitcoin price is now consolidating/stagnating. To make matters worst, news sources keep saying mining is great.
Hope those new manufacturers think about it and dont join the asic party as we dont need more difficulty....
