Topic: Selling Antminer S17 53TH/s (Read 246 times)

thx philip & steamtyme for the clarification. i didn't realize there was a threshhold.

yep  but 2 at 798 including shipping is 2 dollars under the de minimus = 0 trump tax.

my order was for 798 including  shipping.

I am not anti  s17  but my power deal is 50 50 coin split.  So 4 s9's ordered 2 by me and 2 by buysolar works far better then  1 s17 for me and buysolar.

our hoster will not do well if I only buy s9's  and don't buy s17's or m20s.

but I have
1s15         28th
1t15         22th
1 s17        53th
1 t17        40th
2 m20s    136th
8 m10      240th
1 t2 t24      19th
1 t3 t40      31th
2 a1041      60th


all of the above  are good for my hoster

22 s9         230th


the s9 help me and buysolar  and are good for me


I know  a dozen guys with my power deal 50 50 coin split   between us we have about 12ph of gear

we try to get a blend of s9  and efficient gear.

right now no one is selling efficient gear at a worth while price

If you are a 3-5 cent power guy  the 310 s-9 from bitmain is the best buy

if you are a 50-50 coin guy the $310 s-9 from bitmain is the best buy

I have 40-50kwatts to fill by nov 1

I have  a possible 150-175 kwatt expansion in Nov.

If I was pushed to fill the 50kwatts  I have no choice but the s9 from bitmain.
My hoster and I have discussed how to fill the 40-50  spare kwatts  he would let me do all s9's since most of the hash is very efficient

There’s 27.5% tax on miners entering the US

Phil is proposing he and his friend each order 2 that brings them in at $800 which I believe is the limit for triggering the tariffs. So it still exists, and there are very few units you can buy to stay under it anymore.

sidetrack, i know, but is there really no trump tax on new orders from bitmain? I haven't ordered from them since last Sept, and I definitely got hit with retroactive tax on those and all other order back to January 2018.

2 s9's at bitmain cost 798  will do 27th

if I order 2 and my friend orders 2   that is the exact amount of hash you are selling.

we spend 1600 no trump tax and no fear of delivery.  gear comes on sept 10-15

if I convince you to sell yours for 4700 with safe escrow  gear comes aug 15

you mine 53 x 30 x 0.0000245 for 30 days = 0.0390 BTC x 11700 = 457 usd - 80 for power you are  + 377 for the 30 days you have the s17 from you

but 4700 - 1600 = 3100 more for your gear.

so take 3100- 377 = 2723 more for your gear.

now it is sept 15 I have you gear and my 4 s9's running head to head.

your gear 53th for 2.22 kwatts my gear  54 th for 5.22 kwatts   that is 3 x 24 = 72 kwatts  at 5 cents it is 3.60 a day at 10 cent power it is 7.20 a day

2723/3.60 = 756 days before the s17 is better then  4 s9's new from bitmain this is a 5 cent power guy.

2723/7.20 = 378 days before the s17 is better then 4 s9's new from bitmain this is a 10 cent power guy.


or my case i split coins with my power guy

so have 27 th for free  with the s-9's
or I have 26.5 th for free with your s17

that means I never recoup the extra 2723 I pay to you  but my power guy  gets less power cost for his ½ the coins.

your price is a tough sell for me.

I have a mix of gear

s9
s15
s17
t15
t17

m10
m20
m20s

inno t2-t24
inno t3-t40
inno t3-t50

and l3+

I could just buy s9's
 and l3+   I make out but it is not fair to my power guy

I could buy all your gear my power guy would make out but I get killed.

I am trying to explain to you that

a big price
a newbie
no escrow  make your gear a tough sell on the forum to anyone that could pay you for them  most of us that have 20000 usd don't want to buy that gear for 4700 each.

do you have any friend in hongkong ? i can arrange the visit and the guy can test all miners and then ship it to you !


Let me know !

4700 + to a newbie is a tough sell

will you accept escrow?
