A crusher  move here 2128 usd   and you can pay with paypal.


A direct attack against all other companies selling sha 256 asics.


Bitmain is looking to put a hurt on everybody.

BTW  I ordered last week and paid 2500  for same unit.  so it is a kick in the left nut for me.

Which among other reasons is why I long long ago chose to stop supporting BM.
I prefer taking the Moral High Ground so efficiency and cost be damned, I simply refuse to support any company that operates the way they do.
There are more ethical companies out there (well, at least 1 - Canaan (https://canaan.io/)) -- support them!

There goes my ROI estimate for the December delivery  ;D

7 days delivery on them, nice one. difficulty going up in a bit with nearly 5%  :o

At least the BTC price is going down, fingers crossed here  :'(

Also, the T17 $200 coupon works on this, doesn't it? hmm £1928 sounds nice

Isn't there already a thread for this hardware?

Did they drop the price before or after BTC tanked $500?

Yeah, wonder if it is a direct response to the Canaan 11 series.

50th - 40W/th @ $2150 shipping in 7 days no interest for 6 months, vs 68th - 47W/th @  $2200 shipping in 4 months pay in full now.

Of course, a week after these sell out of these they'll throw up a new batch of S17+ at even lower $/TH...

Yeah  bitmain is really putting in the screws to just about everyone involved in mining at the moment.

Yeah  but  I wanted it to stand out since this is move then a hardware sale of a specific piece of gear.

They kept all the other prices the same.  Just moved the price on the s17 pro down 400 dollars.

which is more specific then  the actual piece of hardware.  I considered doing this in speculation vs hardware. But went with hardware.

S17e also now available for Dec. delivery at $2083 but with 2 unit limit per customer. That's $250 less than the Jan. pre-order batch.

Missed that but they are doing a big dump of gear here. Was not sure  about ordering as much as I did.

But

  1x s17pro    due in 2 days........        50th
  1x s17         due in 2 days........        53th
  2x t17e        due in 2 weeks......      106th
  2x a1066      due in 2 weeks.....       100th
 

total of 309th

a december order for 40th

brings us to 349th  to our 1020th

At this point  I can not justify more orders.

I need to wait for a bit.
