If they had 14TH/s S9's, why is the Jan 11-20,2018 batch 13.5TH/s? Should I just wait for the next batch? It doesn't seem like this one is selling out as quickly as others have described previous batches of the S9. Somewhere in the 249 pages of this thread, I read that one batch sold out in hours.
The sales rate depends largely on their (expected) stock quantity and the demand. Neither factors are publicly available. At the rate they are pumping out miners between now and January, one would expect the difficulty to escalate greatly. This may also be influencing sales. This next bit is speculation: History shows that as Bitmain starts producing miners that have better and better hashrates (also with lower failures) and then suddenly starts selling-off large quantities of batches which seem to be a regression towards earlier models' hashrates, they are dumping their stock to prepare for an improved model. I don't know when they put up the Jan11 ship date batch for sale, but I would say that they aren't in their greatest demand anymore, if other batches sold out in hours and people were camping out for them like the next f-ing iPhone. From what I've read about Bitmain, I hope mid-sized operations in the USA are realizing that Bitmain is a shit company and demand better customer service. Why should anyone be paying for return shipping to China on a unit that failed under warranty? |

Shitmain customer service is for shit, and even if you pay to ship back a crappy miner twice, and they promise to replace it with a new one after a couple more months of delay, they then don't ship the replacement when promised. When you inquire as to when the replacement is to be shipped, THEY DON'T RESPOND. I've been tying to get an answer from those assholes for over a month now, so Shitmain can go to hell.  |

Halo Platform is one of the fastest Blockchains I've seen yet. They have FREE transactions. 250 Millisecond Block speeds. Smart contracts, Masternodes, blockchain games, and their own high speed DEX with BTC/ETH/USDC pairs. Similar to ETH, Waves, EOS, and more yet with only $1 million mcap. This video showcases the speed and reliability of the blockchain using the DEX, Masternodes (that will soon payout in BTC and ETH), blockchain games, and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g74d3ixX7E8&feature=youtu.be

How are they shipping the December batch miners before the November batch ones?  My November 21-30 delivery batch is at the moment showing "unshipped" status. |

Yeah, well it's only Nov.17th so you're still good. My unit was supposed to ship in October. Total radio silence for months now when trying to get an update on this. |

Mine have yet to ship 21-30 Nov. also.
Do they usually ship the S9’s early?
My last L3+’s shipped in the middle on the 25th last month from the 21-30 estimate that they gave.

Are the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2 80+ GOLD, 1600W PSU's going to be overkill for use with the S9? I realize they are triple the price of the
APW3++ PSU's, but they come with a 10 year warranty. My thought is that it's one less thing that has to be shipped back to Bitmain, if it fails.
I could buy 3 APW3++ PSU's for the price of the one mentioned above and just have spares, but if they are only going to last a year, I'd rather go with something that has a 10 year warranty.
I don't think I have much of a choice on the Antminer S9, because there is nothing else like it on the market. That's just a fact that I'm beginning to understand that I'm going to have to accept.

You're better off using a graphics card in a computer to mine than a lower end asic miner ($400 gpu vs $400 asic), I'm currently mining with a gtx 1070 and get on average $1.85 usd a day

Its very problematic to deal with unstable country like yours and they dont need your order since their goods sold like candy and no problem with demand If you want to buy in HUGE Quantity than it means you have big fund, so why dont you pick a neighborhood to ship the good and pick it up yourself |
