Managed to get two, one L3 and one S9. My business partner was trying at the same time, and it looked like the L3s sold out in like 5 seconds. I know the ROI for the L3 is worse now, but I wanted to be diversified incase things change, and the L3s ship in 10 days rather than 2 months. Buying ASICs these days is crazy though. Even a few months ago they didn't sell out even close to instantly. The difficulty will only rise from here, but if the China mining ban happens it should hopefully give the rest of us a reprieve at least as long as it takes to move and set up shop somewhere else.

They are already moving..

Anybody else think this is just crazy?! I can't see how you would ever get your money back buying miners now that will be delivered in March.
I just sold my beloved S9 on Ebay (with good profit), as difficulty/hashrate is going up exponentially and BTCUSD exchange rate is not following as it was a month ago. Not saying that won't pick up again but it would need a huge kick in the bum to make up for all the miners coming online in Jan/Feb/March.

It's true what they say:
"When there's a gold rush, sell picks and shovels"...

this might be true but if you already have few miners, probably 6 or more, you can keep on adding up more miners from profit and to keep up with the difficulty.
but just buying 1 miner is not reasonable unless it is for fun and you have the $

That does not make sense.
ROI on 6 would not be different from ROI on one.
Unless I am missing something, this remains linear.

Agreed

you are missing breakage issues.

1 unit dead controller = 100% hash lost

6 units 1 dead controller = 16 ⅔ % hash lost

over time you will get dead units.. so having 3 or more allows swapping stuff. having only 1 does not.

I'm still not getting it I think, you are buying miners to run correct? Not for spares?
If you buy one now, all that matters is over what time frame those units will pay themselves back.
Whether you have other units running already and whether they can break has nothing to do with your this investment.

If you only have 1 miner and it breaks (and they do) - then you have no mining
If you have more than 1 and 1 breaks, you are still mining

at the moment
I have a single board s-9
I have 2 dual board s-9
I have 3 full board s-9's
I have 1 spare controller when they were selling them on bitmainwarranty.

moving these around has helped when repairs were needed.

100%

If you do not have the infrastructure in place to maintain said miners. It may not be a good option.

Just ordered 2 for a friend who managed to get them himself anyway. Now I gotta find someone to take the order off my hands and make the payment in 7 days!

I'll take them if there is a reasonable way to handle it.

I'll buy the wine!

You had me at wine!

Seriously though not sure how this would work.

I bought 6 by mistake goddamn i only want 3. Anybody here knows if i can send the payment for only 3 and i wont have any problem?

Send me your Bitmain account info so I can take control of the account. I will pay for your order and send you your 3 miners once I receive them. You will need to pay the additional shipping and import duties.

I accept escrow through OgNasty

Will take it into account
