Only idiots are buying, so it's a good way to designate idiots from the rest. At those prices they aren't selling much, so it won't murder the diff. Except if it does murder the diff it's because they're self-mining on the most profitable farm on the planet.
I agree partially, some are idiots but I believe many are just hobbyist who don't care about spending money on their hobby, and/or are hoping the BTC price goes up substantially in the future. Nevertheless, they are driving the high demand/cost of S9s. I've been mining since the CPU days and over the years have accumulated hundreds of coins at an average cost of $60 each and have already sold enough of them to recover all costs. But, I actually made more money from trading BTC. In any case I'm in a good position because I'm now playing with "the houses money". I'm an electrical engineer and have always been into electronics and computers and such. The mining was a fun hobby and increasing the efficiency of my S1s, S3s, and S7s, like I know you have done, kept things profitable for a long time. I have a nice setup in my garage that can power four remaining S7s, which could be used to power four S9s, and would like to do so if it made any sense. I could try to justify by saying to myself "3 BTC only cost me $180 so the S9s are worth it", but that would be relying on false logic. When I do the math it doesn't currently make sense at my electric cost of $0.13/kWh to continue mining. You have to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them.

So, I take it the price of S9 hasnt been corrected for halving yet? ... looks outrageously overpriced...
these new batches released after halving are still insanely priced way too high They are perfectly priced from the viewpoint of bitmaintech and all of us that purchased Batch 1 ,2 ,3. I could sit and do a lot of fancy economic bs ...here is the bottom line only bitmaintech can make a .1 watt miner in bulk and cheaply. Since they self mine they can sell their gear at 1800 or 2000 a piece and only sell a few dozen a day. All the while they retool hashnest with new s-9's and don't feed the hashrate much. They have absolutely done a great job for their bottom line. They will not have to lower prices on the gear until: A) a btc crash B) a new build comes out with a .1 watt machine

What a disappointment. I'm not even tempted to buy at these prices.
Bitmain, there's lots of us waiting for your prices to make sense. Hurry up and find a reasonable price point.
To everyone else, stop paying these outrageous prices. Seriously. You're only enabling Bitmain to keep gouging.
They are not selling a ton of them. I actually like this pricing and hope they do not budge much at all. I think this is their best move keep the prices sky fucking high and slowly fill their hash nest with s-9's. I would love to see batch 12 in august still be over 1700 usd. lol you like the pricing becuase why ? they are selling hardware that may never ROI whats not to like haha Because high prices like these make my batch 1 value stable. I can list and sell them for 1900 right now as I type. My hope is since bitmaintech is monopoly wise king that they stall sales via high price. They have zero need to rush as of today. Soooo the wise guys that purchased batches 1 and 2 will be the winners. Bitmaintech can make growth in difficulty fully stall.. They did it before: Sep 17 2015 59,335,351,234 4.17% 424,738,988 GH/s Sep 04 2015 56,957,648,455 4.98% 407,718,729 GH/s Aug 22 2015 54,256,630,328 2.95% 388,384,088 GH/s Aug 08 2015 52,699,842,409 0.81% 377,240,166 GH/s Jul 25 2015 52,278,304,846 2.35% 374,222,683 GH/s Jul 11 2015 51,076,366,303 3.39% 365,618,871 GH/s Jun 28 2015 49,402,014,931 -0.58% 353,633,397 GH/s Jun 14 2015 49,692,386,355 4.42% 355,711,957 GH/s May 31 2015 47,589,591,154 -2.50% 340,659,563 GH/s May 17 2015 48,807,487,245 2.44% 349,377,603 GH/s May 03 2015 47,643,398,018 0.07% 341,044,727 GH/s Apr 19 2015 47,610,564,513 -3.71% 340,809,696 GH/s Apr 05 2015 49,446,390,688 5.84% 353,951,052 GH/s Mar 22 2015 46,717,549,645 -1.50% 334,417,246 GH/s Mar 08 2015 47,427,554,951 1.59% 339,499,662 GH/s Feb 22 2015 46,684,376,317 5.01% 334,179,783 GH/s Feb 09 2015 44,455,415,962 7.71% 318,224,263 GH/s Jan 27 2015 41,272,873,895 -6.14% 295,442,739 GH/s Jan 12 2015 43,971,662,056 8.20% 314,761,417 GH/s Dec 30 2014 40,640,955,017 3.00% 290,919,288 GH/s Dec 17 2014 39,457,671,307 -1.37% 282,449,013 GH/s Dec 02 2014 40,007,470,271 -0.73% 286,384,627 GH/s Nov 18 2014 40,300,030,328 1.76% 288,478,854 GH/s Nov 05 2014 39,603,666,252 10.05% 283,494,086 GH/s Oct 23 2014 35,985,640,265 2.81% 257,595,247 GH/s Oct 09 2014 35,002,482,026 0.98% 250,557,526 GH/s Sep 25 2014 34,661,425,924 16.20% 248,116,151 GH/s Start at sept 25 2014 to Sep 16th 2015 about 360 days we went from 34,661,425,924 to 56,957,648,455 if we do this growth from now until July 8 2017 I will do very well. Since they are in control it suits them to play this game exactly like that as it will max their profit. And it also maxes my profit since I purchased batch 1 and 2 before the ½ ing. They don't give a hoot about your personal profit. In fact they f-ed all B1 buyers of S7 by constantly reducing the price. I don't profess to know their motives. All i know is buying 2150/450 4.77 BTC at the time of purchase beats your "investment" so far with NO electricity used. 13/4.73 x440=$1200, pretty much fair price for S9 since S7 is actually worth no more than $350. 13/4.73X350=961, so i am actually adding about $250 for efficiency and S9 being "new". Unless they price the miner at $1000-1200, i am not buying for now. Yes you are correct, they do not care about our profits, only our purchases from them. This is a business. I am holding strong right now without anymore new purchases for 2 more weeks.

But but but... it's LIMITED EDISHIN, collectible almost, you'll have the honor of being among the million of other suckers who fell for that.
LOL! The good news is that whoever bought Batch 2 (or was it 3?) for under 3 BTC can now sell it for a nice ROI, considering that they mined perhaps half a coin by now.
That's a very tempting idea. Sell now before Bitmain drops prices, resulting in everyone and their brother buying S9's which in turn will drive the difficulty through the roof. Then consider re-buying on the other side when things are stabilized.

I am holding strong right now without anymore new purchases for 2 more weeks. You should not buy gear or sell coins you need to wait. My bet is they want to freeze difficulty as much as they can which is why I grabbed five machines before the ½ ing. Paid one off completely. So this high price for gear and slow sale move on their part was exactly what I was hoping for. This happened with the s-5 diff went flat for close to a year. This is the only way I could justify getting five s-9's before the ½ ing.

Why would the price have to be corrected for the halving? It wasn't a secret.

If Bitmain - like Phil was suggesting above - can hold the whole network stagnant for a few months then actual mining ROI might be possible for the early batches, depending on which wave of the BTC pump they were bought on. But if they drop the price 2-3 weeks from now then it's going to suck for everyone, including early adopters. This sort of gambling is why I'm sitting this one out, hoarding my precious. Won with S5, lost with S7, not gonna martingale it.

I do mine with S7 and will continue to do so until it becomes unfeasible. regarding strategies-here is one: 1. when bitcoin price is rising in $$, buy BTC. 2. liquidate btc for $ or buy miners at btc peak ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . 3. mine into btc $$ price decline or stable btc/$ price, collect btc, pay bills with $$. rinse and repeat-profit as long as long term btc price is rising. right now, btc price is rising, so buy and hold might be better than spending.

Won with S5, lost with S7, not gonna martingale it. My S7's barely made a profit for me with free electricity (the profit is actually in the resale, the BTC mined almost exactly matches the BTC spent for them). S9's currently: B3 paid inc shipping: 2.957 Earned so far: 0.671475368 Left to ROI: 2.285524632 B4 paid inc shipping: 3.149 Earned so far: 0.366534368 Left to ROI: 2.782465632 I am happy to see the price not drop too fast on these. I was kind of pissed when the S7's were available new for less than I still need to earn to ROI on the early batches. That's part of the reason I only bought two of these so far, I was hedging my bet a little.

Since they are in control it suits them to play this game exactly like that as it will max their profit. And it also maxes my profit since I purchased batch 1 and 2 before the ½ ing. Nice numbers but do you really have that much faith in bitmain to keep the price high? all they care about is thier own profit , once the purchase rate drops to a number they are not happy with they will drop the price 30% like they did with the s7 and later on down to 50% , if anything the smart thing to do is sell yours now and keep your mined coins and then buy back when the price drops in a few weeks. Thats what I'm waiting on.

What a disappointment. I'm not even tempted to buy at these prices.
Bitmain, there's lots of us waiting for your prices to make sense. Hurry up and find a reasonable price point.
To everyone else, stop paying these outrageous prices. Seriously. You're only enabling Bitmain to keep gouging.
They are not selling a ton of them. I actually like this pricing and hope they do not budge much at all. I think this is their best move keep the prices sky fucking high and slowly fill their hash nest with s-9's. I would love to see batch 12 in august still be over 1700 usd. lol you like the pricing becuase why ? they are selling hardware that may never ROI whats not to like haha Because high prices like these make my batch 1 value stable. I can list and sell them for 1900 right now as I type. My hope is since bitmaintech is monopoly wise king that they stall sales via high price. They have zero need to rush as of today.

Thats what I'm waiting on. I understand it is their game not ours they have the big guns and sit at the table we look for crumbs to fall off it. I can only guess what to do. I can see right now they are super solid like a mighty king so to speak. Some kings were smart some were morons. They did suppress the diff during the s-5 run they did not during the s-7 run. The s-5 held price a long time. The s-7 did not. So for me to be sure that I am right would be dumb on my part. I do have something going for me this go round lower power cost risk with the solar array deal and a back up position with the small Eth coin farm. But you could turn out more correct then me. Time will tell

There are also philosophical reasons to not GPU mine despite the potential for profits.

..... 2. liquidate btc for $ or buy miners at btc peak ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . rinse and repeat-profit as long as long term btc price is rising. right now, btc price is rising, so buy and hold might be better than spending. When you get #2 above worked out, could you just shoot me a PM? No need to bother everybody else.... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) If that's too difficult, then maybe you could just tell me when the price of BTC has "bottomed out"!

Looks like Batch #9 (3.05 BTC), and Batch #8 (2.77 BTC) are back in stock. Just based on the price and hashrate, the slower miner is just a teeny bit better priced.

The spec says Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 40 °C. What happens if I operate it in higher temperature than 40 °C?
