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

[RoadStress]

Avalon is bought out by Shandong Luyitong for $466 mil. Not bad!
I wonder if Bitmain stays private or will seek an IPO or sale.

They did better than KnC KnC, Spondoolies, Hashfast, BFL and Cointerra which is pretty amazing.

Corrected you just a little  

No objection

EDIT: the price is weird (too high); we probably don't have enough info.
Is it a "strategic purchase"? Maybe Avalon had a stash of btc?
This is easily 10-20Xsales or even more.

Also add AMT/Bitmine.ch to the Failed list.

Assuming the Founders/major stake holders in Bitmaintech do not wish to cashout of the business (yet) then they should be staying as a privately held company.

As soon as a business goes Public they must then conform to the Public investors wishes which all too often results in hostile buyout offers by companies that only want to strip and selloff the IP from their target.

IMHO it could well be that since Canaan Creative chose to be late to the 16/14nm node they (major stakeholders) decided to take the money and retire to a nice private island somewhere. As long as their IP does now belong to an "Angel" company with it's eye on the miner market, then cool.

Even cooler would be if Avalon has low-node designs in the works but never put to silicon. With the new ownership it opens the door to them maybe using Global Foundries and go 14nm. Nice safe location (upstate NY) and as far as I know, GF is open to all customers.

Does anyone have any references for a collocation/hosting company in Washington State?  How is Oregon Mines?

We will start taking orders for a limited-edition variant of the Antminer S9 tomorrow (9 June 2016) at 20:00 (Beijing time, GMT +8).
It is priced lower than the Antminer S9 and delivers a hashrate of 12.9 Th/s. Shipping will start from 20 June 2016. Place your order here while stock lasts!

Shouldn't the announcement have already happened? Unless my world clock app is broken, isn't it 8:40 PM Bejing time?

I was all excited because I happen to be in Japan now so I'm one time zone away from Bejing. But it doesn't look like the web site has been updated.

Maybe the person who's supposed to press the deploy button is having too much fun at the Dragon Boat Festival

I checked around 8:30 and assumed it was all sold out and gone. So it hasn't appeared yet? Odd.

[babycicak]

20:00 Beijing June 9th is   8:00 New Jersey June 9th


So they are a hour and 4 minutes late.

But I was drinking last night and I am A bit hungover so my math on the time could be wrong.

I think your times are off.  20:00(8pm) on the 9th = 8am EST on the 10th.

Local is 2128 now & still same . . .

Just watching, rather wait for next batch.

I think sales will drop & is sales drop so does the pricing, no point to rush for that 2 weeks rush before halving.

if miners gets shipped out on time, good but if it's not then gotta bitch & moan all year long for compensation like "xxx" & he is lucky to get compensated.

I doubt that 2 weeks of mining would be able to match the end result with cheaper miner past halving.

But we never know, so let's see, eager to see reviews, results, issues, etc etc etc best of luck

No. Earth rotates towards east, Beijing is ahead of USA.

[HagssFIN]

Beijing time is already 21:34 (9:34 pm) as I'm writing this.
One and half hour late..

[suchmoon]

It's on, get it while it's hot

https://enshop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201606080945140191yC0JO150614

$1985 though... not a good price at all

Edit: 153.52 per TH/s vs $150 per TH/s for Batch 1. And shipped a week later. Ouch.

[sidehack]

If you want it at a good price, wait until about September.

Fahget about it!

[HagssFIN]

Well, that's an expensive deal.
More expensive per TH/s than batch 1.

[AriesIV10]

I did buy 1, but a tear ran down my face as I sent the Bitcoin.  More money for less.  

On the good side, I am offsetting my monthly hosting costs!
