Between the order-now, delivery March 1 and very minor price between the 14THs s9 or 2x Avalon 721's + the matter of my R4b6 w/1 dead board -- I gotta gladly pass.

Exactly 2 Avalons are better buy if you can get reasonably cheap electricity. T9 might be better and more reliable though. Also those 2 new chanises companies with miners can be intresting. |

The best bet would be just to buy btc  . No fuss no mess just watch it grow;). nothing against Avalon. They produce a superior product. But by all means if ya need your fix then get ya a couple BR |

Is it too late to clarify that I was being sarcastic? There's no way that buying an S9 at this stage makes any sense. At least not to me. But when has reason ever factored into purchasing mining hardware |

Is that what the "under arrangement" email I got mean (never ordered from Bitmain before)? Historically how long from this -> actual shipping? |

There were no "delays", S9's purchased in the past couple of weeks have been subject to shipping times starting from the 20th Feb, as per the announcement by Bitmain on this site and on bitmains web page where you placed the order. The next batch which is currently for sale has shipping dates starting the 1st March. So if you get it before the date that you agreed for it to be sent (20th Feb or March 1st) then thats pretty cool and lucky and nice of bitmain to minimise the delays which make turning a profit from mining more and more difficult. Dear Bitcoiners, We are launching two new batches of the Antminer S9 today with shipping starting from 20 February 2017. These two batches can deliver a hashrate of 13TH/s and 13.5TH/s, respectively. They will be available at this link after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT+8) today (24 January 2017). We advise all to confirm their order while stock lasts. Please reach out to us at support.bitmain.com for any queries. Happy mining and a happy Chinese New Year  , The Bitmain team |

The problem with waiting a month to get your machine is that the first month is where you make the most back with this machine. They know this. They have been playing us too long. Eventually people do wise up!

I don't doubt if people will or may have already wised up. It is a problem that people still knowingly choose to commit into it  |

You guys ascribe all these dastardly notions to bitmain like their entire business model is to be out to get you. It is such an ignorant viewpoint. Have you ever thought maybe they have a glut of machines to ship out and that is just how long it takes? If a company orders 1500 machines, guess what? Your 2 machines will get shipped out after. Not to mention the two week shutdown for chinese new years. Its not like they dont give you the shipping date right on the order page. If you don't like it quit buying their product if all you are gonna do is bitch and whine about it on the forums. You all know what you are getting into. You all know the reliability issues. You all know the estimated shipping dates. If you cannot make an informed decision based on the available information it is nobody's fault but your own. |
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

It is not that they did not know what the price was. It cannot be an oversight either because it was pointed out many times prior as well. I would call it mildly a reverse charity aka...you name it. |

Most likely not. Try asking Bitmain or Bitmain Warranty to buy one? bitmain.combitmainwarranty.com |

I don't believe Bitmain is evil or anything, they just want to maximize profits and I can understand that. But honestly, they just bumped the price on the S9 by the $150 or so due to an increase in BTC price. This is poor business ethics in my opinion, especially since they cannot predict if the price will drop. They have the right to do this, yes, but as soon as a viable competitor comes around you can guarantee that this dirty business practice will bite them in the ass. People don't forget this kind of BS. |
