Looks like Phil's wish was granted. Bitmain has currently "Greyed Out" the S9 Buy button. No more sales for the moment it would appear. S7's are still available for those that are interested.
Projected difficulty is still negative, but it's had to think it will last for for 7 more days.

S9's are coming, Bitcoin price is rising. Let's see how it goes now.

The S9 release date of June 12 could be a real blow ti BitFury and BW.
Looks like you get about 3 weeks of hashing on the S9 before the halving.
Looks like you get about 3 weeks of hashing on the S9 before the halving.
I would love for them to do a small release say for 5 or 6 days then stop sales until after the 1/2 ing.
Just cause I am curious, why would you want a "limited Batch" with a two week sales suspension following?
More to the point though, why would Bitmain want that?
They may offer these on hashnest and not sell many via batches.
Well to quote:
" BITMAIN ANTMINER S9,the World's Most Power-Efficient Bitcoin Miner
Price and discount: Retail price is $2100 per unit excluding shipping cost.
There is a maximum limit of 5 units per user for the first batch. This means that a user cannot order more than 5pcs S9 miner.
The first batch of S9 miner is available only in limited quantity so there are no bulk-order discounts. "

We likely will never know, there could be several possible options. Likely could be they have limited amount of chips, so trying to spread amount out where 1 customer does not own them all. You can go to more paranoid ones like they are might be using rest to fill internal mines, or filling a big order. Or could be so no bulk discounts for first adopters. I mean we could go on and on. But we likely will not know real reason.
Mining is going to get interesting though, the S9 is looking like a heck of a machine looking at specs. Competition will have to try to catch up now I would guess.

3 weeks is not much, I preffer to wait and reconsider after halving whether I can ROI fast with the S9.

0.098 is a beautiful number, not sold on grabbing batch 1 units with that price though.
It's an interesting gamble Bitmain is taking releasing these now. There's no way to ROI before the halving, so you are gambling that they will be able to pay for themselves after the halving, which is uncertain. I will not buy new from Bitmain, I refuse to support them directly, but once some 3rd party deals start happening I'm going to have to get a 16nm machine, the efficiency is just nuts.So much network growth, for example check out HaoBTC, they were 9PH when I first deposited some coin with them:
5. Our hashrate reaches an unprecedented 70PH
Hopefully we'll stay ~flat this period, but big changes are coming for sure.
