I just noticed they are selling the S9i, does anyone know the difference between it and the regular S9? Other than name change..lol. I'm wondering if I should buy some of those or the Avalon 841's..

Not a lot of difference other than a slight change in wattage and of course the price. I had made a thread, but it got deleted...

Is there anything even remotely close to this performance? 3x the hash rate for the same power consumption in the same form factor as the S7...

Wow!

Seems other companies line Inno and DragonMint are releasing their numbers for 10nm units.
Anyone heard from Bitmain regarding their next generation?
Seems to be around 17TH and 1550watts for most of them though no official reviews.

So.....judging by other miner's performance increase........I guess we hit finally started to hit the efficiency wall now huh.

Oh well, here's to hoping for 0.8j/gh someday!

No difference from the s9. It certainly does NOT have AB!

mining is becoming more and more difficult... profitability is going down...my farm revenue almost halved in the last 3 month.

This is what I've been saying all along since February, 2016.  I bought 42 x Bitmain S7's in 2015 and sold them in February, 2016 when I saw the writing on the wall.  I realized it's a hopeless effort to compete against the manufacturers of ASIC's.  I've been in the game since the S1.

Many "newbies" are about to learn the hard way [Just as I did] when purchasing the new Z9.  Hence, my advice given in other forums on the Z9.  BITMAIN, does NOT have your best interest at heart.  My opinion.

Bitmain, Cannon and the rest build miners for one reason, to make money.  Then again, every company builds things to make money.  None of them have our best interest at heart, they are all in it for the money.

ROFL...  Sounds like FPGA's and GPU's are the way to go for now.  Especially, FPGA's.

Buying ASIC"s specific to one thing is only limiting one's self.

EDIT:  After further discussion with Phillipma, I've come to agreement with him ASIC's and FPGA's are "NOT" the answer.  Software, is the answer to bring ASIC, FPGA and GPU on an even plain field.

Once they get them out in mass I agree.

Woo Hoo!!!  Like I said before, I have had GPU rigs, and ASICs.  Problem I have is I like to turn and burn them.  I still have 1 small GPU rig running (4 290X's).  I'm waiting for my X9s to come in.  Run them for a while and flip them.  And yes, I have a collection of doorstops as well.  4 Gridseed blades stacked up on the desk.  They are 5 years old and have ROI'ed many times over.

Yep /s.  It's what I expected.  No idea why they made a revision to the model number.
