No more because the PSU's die all the time and they consider them a fire risk

My hosting provide won't allow them in the datacenter anymore.

I didn't take them up on the offer of an "upgrade" to T50, so I pulled out of my T43's and got a refund.
It did take 23 days for them to actually send the refund after I requested it, but it did come through.

    Should be interesting to see the prices, I suspect they will be $3K plus if not more for the S17+, T17+ is about the same speed as a S17E but slightly less efficiency so maybe closer to $2.1 - 2.2? S17+ is close to same efficiency as the S17Pro 50/53/56 T17+ is between S17E and T17e in terms of efficiency It'll all come down to price, but I think this is the start of a major ramp up in difficulty and a direct attack on their competitors to wipe them off the board [EDIT] Updated with prices: S17+ $2833 T17+ $1802 |

Yeah I didn't look very hard  |

I know biffa had late t3 t43s and got t3 t50 upgrade on some units.
I did, but they were replacements for T39's but then I had little choice. For the delayed T43's they are offering the split the difference now and ship T50's But the T50 isn't as efficient as the T43. I might cancel and just buy bitmain/avalon gear instead. |

There is a 4% import tax on the gear, and a 14% GST on the hosting costs.
Depends on the deal you get, but for me its still cheaper than trying to import hardware to and host in the US

Probably the most reputable of all the manufacturers in terms of security of your funds and delivery of equipment. As mentioned make sure you ONLY buy direct from shop.bitmain.com If you are buying with cryptocurrency make sure you have it ready before you buy as you only have two hours to send and verify the payment. If you are buying with wire transfer, make sure with your bank you can transfer funds of that magnitude to foreign banks, esp in China. You have 3 days to get the transfer completed. If you are in difficulty just reply to the order email you receive and let them know whats going on, they are pretty understanding. There is a purchasing walk through on their support web site here: https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/221888028-Ordering-payment-process |

I may wait and see what coupons people get and buy some coupons and get some gear then.
Might be too late  Anyone notice, there are T17E and T17-38 are live for 1st Dec if you are interested. Looks like limit of 2 per customer per batch |

Not sure if its a good deal or not, its a lot of money to tie up till December, but then people seem to be happy doing it, the November batches sold out pretty quickly.
One thing though, I think those ones are just normal S17's @45W/T because I thought the Pro's are like 39W/T
Its sort of in the middle compared to the whatsminers, compared to the M20S its better power usage by 3W/T and cheaper, but its slower by 15TH
And compared to the M20 its still better power usage and its more expensive, but its faster by 8TH
M20S - 68TH @ 48W/TH - $2589
S17 - 53TH @ 45W/TH - $2107
M20 - 45TH @ 48W/TH - $1830
What it does do is spank the Inno T3-50T which is slightly (3TH) slower and uses 62W/TH at around the same price. But then the Inno is avail now, not in 3 months.
Of course the surprise outsider is the Avalon 1066 which is the same speed as the Inno, uses 63W/TH, costs $400 or so less than both. And is avail in Nov.
Decisions, decisions!!

Heh, I have no skin in the game with any manufacturer, I've had good deliveries and slow deliveries, I've had cancelled orders because of over subscription, suppliers who I lost coin on because of exchange rate fluctuations, and vice versa. I think things for you have changed, now you are stressed about mining because its a bigger concern and you have partners, so 8 days of delay, which in the past would have been nothing, is now a big thing for you. For me, it feels the same now as it did when I had 100TH. The "business" of mining feels the same, the suppliers feel the same, the experience is the same. Maybe thats why it doesn't stress me out, but then I don't have business partners to appease For now, the T3-50T appears to be mining at spec. But then so do the M21S's that I got at the same time, and people have had problems with them too. Go figure. Although I am pissed with Inno that these T50's I've had to take as replacements for the more efficient T39 and T43's that I actually ordered. That's an annoyance but I'll live with it now that gear is getting harder to get. Bitmain pissed me off too with their tiny window of purchase opportunity and their limit of 2 from a batch for the T17-38, but a deep breath and all is good again. |

My T3-50's are up and after a couple of hours are running on default settings @ 50T with +/- fluctuations of only 1%
They are in a datacenter though so probably have better cooling available to them than where Phil has his.

Also you can only buy 2 from any one batch unless you can get someone else to get another two etc etc
