Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order

[fusion0389]

Ended up picking up another S9, sent the bitcoin to the address they gave me, order expired... I'm assuming after emailing them that they can manually adjust this? Has this happened to anyone else?

It has happened to others in the past. If your wallet shows the BTC as sent - and preferably has a few confirms on it - then the order went through and Bitmain's system will catch up with a conf email in a day or so.

That's reassuring, hoping i didn't just lose out on a nice chunk of change. I appreciate the response!

When you order they send an email to you.

Reply to the email tell them you paid and give them the tx id.

You should get an auto response and they will update in under a day.

This happens all the time.  It'll be fine as long as the payment actually got confirmed.

So where are you folks finding these pages with s9's batch 10 or 11? I usually check Bitmain a couple times a day and for s9's so far only see the gray link batch9....

links to follow

here they are:

Dear Bitcoiners,

After an overwhelming number of queries asking about the next S9 batch, we are happy to announce the release of two more limited-edition batches tomorrow (16 August 2016) at 23:00 (Beijing time, GMT+8).

Batch 10 and batch 11 can deliver a hashrate of 11.85TH/s and 12.93TH/s, respectively.

We suggest you confirm your order here (https://goo.gl/iVJKlC) for batch 10 or here (https://goo.gl/cP8UKA) for batch 11 while stock lasts.

Happy mining,

the Bitmain team

Well hell, both sold out already  

no  they never open they just read sold out.  read bitmain's response to me on bottom of this post

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1493601.msg15928762#msg15928762

look at their main hold address
https://blockchain.info/address/1KwA4fS4uVuCNjCtMivE7m5ATbv93UZg8V

 The pages were up this afternoon, around 1400 Pacific time - I almost decided to pull the trigger on a couple of the 11.83 TH units, but had errands to run - and the pages had poofed (except via the direct links in this thread) by the time I got home.

 Guess I'm still waiting to either (1) accumulate enough bitcoin to get a 3-unit preorder of the Innosilicon A4, or (2) waiting to see what else shows up in the next month or two.



 I suspect chip availaibility on ANY 14/16nm stuff is going to be spotty for a while - look at how hard it is for NVidea and AMD to keep THEIR new cards in stock anywhere - that's  NOT a small number of wafers involved....

[BITMAIN]

Hello everyone,

We have good news for those who missed batch 10 and batch 11 of the Antminer S9: we are going to release two new batches!

Batch 12 and batch 13 can deliver a hashrate of 11.85TH/s and 12.93TH/s, respectively.

They will be available to order after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT +8) tomorrow (18 August 2016).

We suggest everybody to confirm their order here (https://goo.gl/j8PLzh) for batch 12 or here (https://goo.gl/4Bk4v9) for batch 13 before they sell out.

We wish you all a very happy mining experience with Bitmain,

the Bitmain team

Hello everyone,

Can you answer my question please?.....

It will be available after the scheduled time.

What is the "scheduled" time now then - & how long after? It's been a month since the last "scheduled" time frame passed.

After all, you are legally required to do this:

S9's firmware package with bmminer's binary application file is in preparing, Need get some files from ALTERA FPGA's project. We will upload the sdk of S9 which can be used to create S9's firmware package. The estimation time is about next week.

Please feel free to contact us if there is any question.

Best regards,
Andy
Bitmain

Edit: Aaand offline they go again - that's the second time Bitmain have avoided answering this question.....

I am beginning to think that Bitmain are trying to hide something from us - why else would they deliberately break the Open Source GPL Licensing terms by stealing someone's code & then refuse to show what changes they have made, despite promising to do so?

Who has not bought yesterday with  batch10 and batch 11 prices

 (https://goo.gl/iVJKlC) for batch 10

 (https://goo.gl/cP8UKA) for batch 11

 This means the batch 10 and 11 were under priced.  I am annoyed at them  for pricing them too low.
Frankly these two batches are under priced. They  should 1500 and 1650.  Sooner or later 900ph of s-7 and avalon 6 will die  when that happens this gear will be more valuable.
   I can tell you right now bitmaintech is terrible with warranty, but the price for this gear is still too low. It would sell out at 1550 and 1650.  What has happened is people with low power will buy it. If my solar array could do 20 of these I would have 20. I think most of us that are buyers are very low power cost people and we all believe that 900 ph of s-7 and avalon 6s will stop mining.

[tbonetony]

Wow another wave of S9

[numnutz2009]

well...no....they weren't under priced...bitcoin prices went up by about $20 per coin depending on the time they looked at the price so adding $42 to the price kinda reflects that price change.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Holy crap -- after just 15hrs from ordering, mine have already shipped!

Are you all CRAZY or what 99 months ROI and ppls still buy , buy bitcoin instead, is USELESS stop encouraging them , look 1400 S9+ 150 PSU+ 100 shippment + Difficulty raises 5% average you will never get ROI are you all crazy??

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

Look for yourself 11T next 15 days will maybe bring if miner doesn't stop EVER which is impossible 216 $ per month reduce next difficulty for next 15 days at about 5% so will bring about 201$ one mont about 205$ next month if MINER NEVER stops 185$ now calculate electricity fees at about 120$ per month are you all CRAZY.

This shit is only making you all lose money .... stop beeing dreamers BTC price now is low simply buy BTC is way safer how can you calculate ROI of 1 year is madness

Everybody's situation is different, if it was universally unprofitable 100% of the time, nobody would continue to buy mining equipment. Its smart for some people, stupid for others. There are strategies to mining, some hold BTC earned until the price gets higher if they can afford the monthly power bill. There is no one size fits all statement that can fit every miner, we all have different circumstances. To each their own.
