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

[random699]

Malaysia, we have farms ready, with fans, air flow, but now empty only with about 40 S7 left, pm if you are interested

[Tupsu]

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

My  electricity fees is  about 85 euro for 11,5 THs . It is not "CRAZY."

"CRAZY." stupid is your calculation.

I earn more real many with mining, not with buying BTC and holding.

The right time to buy was if 1 BTC=250 euro , not if 1 BTC=500 euro.

I sell only, if BTC is back 1 BTC = 650 euro.  So far, I mine.

Read your own posts. You act like CRAZY.

As you yourself confess

you are all ignorant you should try protect ppls from getting fucked instead of encouraging them you A.H

and I do not believe in the existence of your farm.

now calculate electricity fees at about 120$ per month are you all CRAZY.

 If you're paying $120/month then yes, these miners are not going to ROI and you'd be crazy to buy one - but in MY case, they would be less than *$40* a month to run, and there are folks with a little better electric rate than I have right now.

 12c/KWH might be the current appx. US national AVERAGE rate, but most miners pay quite a bit LESS than that.

As others have said, methinks you are off your medication...

To expand on what I posted just a couple pages back...

If just starting a farm and based only on income per new miner -- Ja, ROI on them will be a bitch for awhile.

However, my farm income from all of the other already paid off miners pays for a s9 in ~11-14 days depending on pool luck. So pretty painless once a farm is sufficiently grown in size and aged a bit With Bitmains timing on new batch's of the s9 and me limiting myself to only 1 or 2 per cycle so far it's working out perfectly for upgrading to the s9's. Yes even my first 'overpriced' s9 batch-1 is already paid for and now earning net income.  

Started mining in mid-Feb 2014 with 2x BFL 10GHs cubes purchased for $350 each from TigerDirect , got hooked. Total out-of-pocket from Feb to about late May: $8,725 and $4k of that was for a miner from AMT/Bitmine.ch ordered on Feb. 28, 2014, not for Ants. So total fiat spent on Ants is $4,025 USD. As June of 2014 all miners I've bought for expansion/upgrades have been paid for by BTC the farm earned and that initial $8,725 is long ago repaid.

As for reliability: Currently I'm up to 75 miners bought from Bitmain ranging from their S1's through the s9. Most of course now long since retired and donated to Sidehack for their parts, just s7's and soon to be a total of 6x s9's running now.  Exactly 2 miners with troubles total, 1 s5 and 1 s7 both with DOA boards, thankfully quickly RMA/replaced by Bitmain. Works for me...

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

Just to get the time correct/confirmed, this would be 11am EDT....correct?

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Close enough. Might be 11:20a or so actually. Just be sure to use the links provided as they may not show up on the main site for a while (if at all).

[SimCity]

So I got 2 of these, and gonna replace some of my s7's. Does anyone want my s7's they still hash perfectly. pm me with an offer I can't refuse. I have like 13 available s7's. Ordered these yesterday and they're shipped already with ups calling me to confirm. Confirm taxes again!

I too am starting to suffer from retired s7 buildup In my case due to lack of more (free) power to keep them online alongside the s9's
Too bad the top chipsinks bonded to the ASIC's and their fine pitch makes removing/recycling near impossible.

Otherwise, think Sidehack Super Compaq stick miners...

in America nobody (well, almost nobody) knows what GMT is...so GMT+8 means something close to nothing
however, google helps...
it is 8am pacific, 10am central and 11am eastern, correct

1. bitcointalk.org is not America 
2. Surely if someone can't work out the time from the OP/google/havingabrain then too bad they are too stupid to run a bitcoin miner

Its like an intelligence test

Are you all CRAZY or what 99 months ROI .........................................ROI of 1 year is madness

Am beeing 100% honnest we have Totally 100% free electricity and we still don't buy Smiley those machines reliablility is too low too much work to start them up manually if you are intrested we have free electricity, and we can mind but we will never buy machines now

me too don't believe, how the hell u got 100% free electricity when others pay about USD0.13/kwh in malaysia???

lol i have free electricity kiddo. i also have 2 dedicated root top ac units that just cool miners so its dell not "crazy" as you like to put it. but like another dude said....everyones situation is different....what is crazy for some is great for others. im lucky to have free power but i do pay $69.95 for internet for just my miners but thats not too bad.

[Tupsu]

also is the 2170 including shipping as well? i believe shipping is $60 all around per miner which is separate from the import taxes of course.

Yes. And 20% VAT should also be included to shipping costs.

example
ANTMINER S9-B2 with 12.93T × 1
1985 USD + shipping 65.91  USD = 2050.91 USD + 20% VAT = 2461 USD

The EU VAT just appears to be so scary to me I was complaining paying 5% in my country. maybe i should shut up.

[numnutz2009]

ya 20% import taxes is ridiculous.

why so serious? it was just friendly banter...and TIC
yes, and bitfinex was also an intelligence test, and mt gox beforehand
maybe after a while not many people will qualify as being intelligent enough

don't you want to be as inclusive as possible?

[Swimmer63]

I see a lot of miners say they have free power.  No one has free power.  Someone is paying for it, it's just not you.
In some cases that "someone" may not care that you are increasing their costs.  But my guess is those folks are few.
It's likely most are unwitting suppliers that would put a stop to it if they knew what you were doing with it.
I am not being high and mighty here.  I would probably take advantage of a small amount of "free" power myself.  It just irks me that some miners scream it like a badge of honor, when in many cases it's likely just theft.  Karma's a bitch.

in some cases electricity is included in already bloated rent.
I don't think that many have free power anyway, mostly dorms, but who wants to keep S9 in a dorm?
Maybe S3. I never saw someone here presenting free power as a badge of some sort.

Depending on how you look at it, my 18kw farm at work is either 'free' power or can be considered as part of my compensation to keep me happy doing the voodoo that I do so well. I'm co-owner of our company and my other partner is fine with that. The 18kw cap is strictly of my own choosing and I if wanted to go nuts, we have ~300kw available out of a 500kw service.... But that would of course be a different story.

Since I see no out-of-pocket and it is certainly not theft, I say it is free
