I am serious, since I have now heard few stories about December batch miners shipping.

They are not respecting the different shipping time batches..
I'm now wondering if the 2nd Nov 21-30 batch was typo on their part and should have been a Dec. 21-30 batch. I ordered from both the Dec. 1st and the Nov. 21st the second time it was offered. Seemed a little weird, but I just figured they had some nonpaying orders.

I always used UPS


:facepalm:

I just made 2 more orders 1 S9 each, using DHL. I saw BCH price dropping and wanted to lock in...

Could always change it,, hmmmm.



I was debating rather to hodl BCH, or spend on miners. maybe save until Bitmain releases something new...

but then I remembered Coinbase will allow BCH withdraws starting in January and I feel value will drop.



Thoughts ??

My Nov PSU's arrived today, miners haven't shipped yet.

Yup, picked up my PSU today also. Still nothing on the miners. I’m starting to think DHL is more favorable for them so they ship out earlier for those that chose them.

What is the best shipping method to USA?

UPS , DHL, or FedEx?

Already have one coming in from DHL. Thought I would experiment with the 2 other options? FedEx it asks for additional information tho, one or more of : EIN, import number, VAT, SSN.

Well it is about 10 am tues morning in china.

Maybe  they will move some out today.

I got a shipment notification for my (Dec 1- 10) batch of S9s On Sunday AND another notification for my Nov 21 - 30 batch of D3s on Monday (Yesterday).

Both are still sitting at “shipment information received” with DHL. It’s annoying and exciting at the same time. But I’m still being patient.

Are you in the States or in a European country?
Because it's my first time, i am waiting for S9 December patch, how they reach you? Via UPS directly or by email or mobile sms?

Thanks

I still can't understand how the hell December batch is delivered before November batch?  Huh

What the fuck?

Yeah, scratching my head too. Seems like the BCH batch that came on the site for Nov after the dec batch is lower priority to them

God these 14th/s miners have so many issues.

Is 14 TH/s have more chips than those in 13.5 TH/s ?

No
It's just freq, and it's auto freq in the miner.


This explain why 14 TH/s would have more reliability issue than 13.5 TH/s unit. That’s close to 3.7% increase of hash power due to merely OC/frequency change.

Noob question here...

I don't have an S9, but I'm curious, if one of the boards fails, can you unplug it and let the other continue trucking along?

Will bitmain accept sending in just one board for replacement or would they want the entire unit?

I want to buy one, but I'm hesitant. I can handle poor reliability with good customer service, I can handle poor customer service with good reliability, but both? definitely has me hesitating.

You can unplug the board and run the miner without it. But if you want to ship for repair Bitmain requires to send all unit if it's S9. You can check it here for every miner: https://shop.bitmain.com/workOrderGuide.htm

Jan 21-31 still selling? It feels like this batch has been for sale much longer than others, while BTC price is skyrocketing, that's weird. Maybe people is buying the DragonMint or other competitor? Maybe this batch is insanely large? Thoughts?
