Dear Bitcoiners,

The S9 miners of this batch can deliver a hashrate of 12.5TH/s and the shipping will start on or before 31st March 2017.
We advise all to confirm their orders at this link after 2300hours today (16 March 2017, GMT+8) while stock lasts.
Please reach out to us via support.bitmain.com for any queries.
Happy mining,
The Bitmain team

I was going to respond, but the fact that you think you know how the firmware works and stated the exact opposite of how it actually does (even going so far as to show that you don't even grasp what the PIC is, how it functions, or what it contains) makes me realize facts and reality are meaningless to you. lol thats fine buddy. What a pain to skim through all these fights -_-, especially on a bitmain product post.
Agreed! Might I politely suggest this particular discussion be moved to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1645898.msg18203472#msg18203472 which is a thread I started as soon as I got my batch-17 so long ago... That deals specifically with Auto-tune including the 'Why". Seems like a good place to put this and keeps clutter here to a minimum... lol sorry man. my posts get a bit long at times dont they??

Looks like it, phil. I'm still waiting for the shipment of the previous 13.5THs batch of which I was foolish enough to drop some coin on... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

^^ Ditto. Their site says 'cheapest price for a batch yet'. So wonder if us who ordered earlier will get coupons like the Feb customers did?
I see that Bitmain has dropped the Xilinx SOC in favor of Altera's (now part of Intel) Cyclone-V. Wonder why?

Did it showed up already and sold out or not yet? I see that it is currently indicated as SOLD OUT, but it is past midnight in Beijing.

Thanks, they messed up the link in their announcement. i was just curious...price is too high...good for the aftermarket, though. Your cost=1.16 btc (1.115+$54 shipping=$1410) 7.81% difficulty rise=super bad (produce only 0.83btc total before going nonprofitable at 7c/kwh) 4% diff rise=produce 1.5 BTC in a year (still $425 in $deficit), so you depend on electricity cost below 7c AND bitcoin being stable or going up. No safety. I'll pass for now.

... so you depend on electricity cost below 7c AND bitcoin being stable or going up. No safety. I'll pass for now.
With that mentality, you'll never not pass. I'm sure that someone will gladly pick up the unit that you're passing on and enjoy their long-term profit gains.

If you have to ask "why?", you wouldn`t understand my answer. Always be on the look out, because you never know when you'll be stalked by hit-men that eat nothing but cream cheese....

Of course, if you have cheaper power AND bitcoin appreciates, then you COULD make money. Sure, go ahead and pick up 'my' unit. It is sold..to you, personally.

With a turnaround time under 230 days, I thank you and I grabbed 9 more after yours. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

NO brake even, EVER even at zero electricity cost if difficulty rise continues like this and btc does not appreciate. Check for yourself. However, if difficulty is more reasonable 4% and cost of electricity is 5c/kwh, then only $178 loss by the day 376. If electricity 3c/kwh, then breakeven by day 341. Show your real numbers...Or not, since my electricity cost is much higher than 3-5c, which was my initial point anyway.

I base it off the real world numbers of already owning them and already earning enough from them to spend 11.6 BTC for 10 more (on top of the $0.10 p/kWh I pay for electric). ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

ah, you are basing this purchase on your PRIOR cap gains...understood. someone who bought 1.16 btc at $170 in 2015 could claim that they only paid $197 for this miner. I prefer numbers based on the current fiat/btc ratio.

It is probably safe to say that you will only see a fraction of those 11.6BTC again, especially with $0.10 p/kWh electricity (though not entirely clear which currency that is).

Biodom, the flaw in your calculations is that you are forecasting a difficulty rise but not a BTC price increase. If the BTC price holds flat, the difficulty rise will not be 4% on average. You have to also assume a average % increase in price if you are going to assume an average increase in difficulty. Nice try on convincing the mining market to wait tho ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
