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

[gotminer]

All 4 s-9s and still not shipped.

2 are  Nov 21-30
1 is    Dec    1-10
1 is    Jan     1-10

They still have a week on the first order, right?  Is Nov 21-30 supposed to be the delivery or ship date?  I asked them in an email about the estimations on their website, but it was never returned.  After reading about Bitmain for a little while, I realize that their business practices are like most other large manufacturing businesses in China, in terms of the customer support and satisfaction that we expect in the USA.  

The executive Chinamen (in a business that big) simply do not give a fuck about the customer, so customer service is non-existent.  I've dealt with exactly the same thing in other business dealings with Chinese manufacturing.  If you’re not buying goods from them on a very large scale per order, you won’t get any sort of response to any inquiry.  If you’ve already paid them, they care even less.  

My thoughts are that the Chinaman executive does not care to employ the number of people that it would require to provide customer service to those of us who are buying 10k usd worth of goods per order.  The Chinaman doesn’t care to notice that a lot of a little equals a little of a lot.

Lastly, and from previous business experience with the Chinaman, the only way to come out on top is the fuck the Chinaman, before he fucks you.  Never forget, the Chinaman is always looking for a way to fuck you, because you live in the USA.  They are still pissed off because their government won’t even allow them to use an alternative currency.  China hurts every other country just as much as they help.  They just cancel themsevles out in the long term.

my  10/1 order due for nov 21 - 30 not shipped
my  10/3 order due for nov 21 -30 not shipped

my sept 20 th order due for dec 1-15 not shipped

my nov 15 th order due for jan  1-10 not shipped


I would bet dollars to donuts   they will ship  the 10/1 and 10/3 on the the same day  bringing value over 2500 usd thus  cost 3%  or 75-80 bucks  in fees.

Well  we will see what happens.

Some are telling me on Reddit they are just getting their Nov. 21-30 batch orders. Means they shipped out earlier without me. Sad. I wonder how you get priority or do they randomize. I ordered pretty quickly.

Still shows unshipped for my 11/21-11/30 S9s - some people might get lucky, I guess.

Weird that you guys haven't gotten yours yet..I've received all of my November orders and I have even received my Dec 1 - 10 orders. Including all of the PSU's that I ordered.

lol, here I am still waiting on my Sept 15th batch of psu's.  8 of them....

They havent sent your sep 15th S9 order? :O

Edit: Oh, only PSUs?

I've gotten all of my miners, but only half of the psu's.  That  I bought in sept.  I'm still waiting on Sept 15th batch of apw3++

I am jealous 

  what country  do you live in?

I live in Oklahoma in the US. I don't know why they are shipping all of my stuff early but I received all of my D3's including the few I ordered from the late November batch and I received them the first week of November. Which is 3 weeks earlier than expected. As for my L3+'s I received all 5 of mine the first week of Nov as well and they also weren't supposed to show up until Nov 20-30th.
My S9's have all shipped for November and I have even received my Dec 1- 10.
I'll post the dates I purchased them below, but just a heads up guys I don't think they follow the "first paid first shipped" process. I've compared with other people before and could not make any sense of their shipping.

S9's
Order placed on 8/23 Shipping was Nov 20-30th and I've received all
Order placed on 9/26 Shipping was Dec 1 -10th and I've already received all of them.

I even paid for my Dec 1-10th orders with a wire transfer..which I had heard that the ones paid via wire were supposed to be shipped last. Like I said, I don't make any sense of it but I'm not complaining. I love bitmain  I've also received all 50 of my PSU's for the Nov batch. I ordered them all separately too, in bundles of 8 and 10's.

[lucianus_luciferus]

they never did that to me.

I pray dont happened anythinhg like D3

The S9 will probably be profitable for a while more so I don't expect a D3 situation unless difficulty starts going up like dash. There's still a risk with buying the S9, don't get me wrong, but it probably isn't as bad as the D3.

The big problem with s9's is they breakdown

I have 4  coming

I may sell one at a premium un-opened  to protect  me against that risk

I paid  about 1400 each

So by selling one for 1800

 I get some risk protection on the other 3

My APW3++ for the S9 shipped this morning but not the S9 itself. I would have thought the S9 would have shipped first.

I've got Bitmain miner coupons ($125 off).  PM me if you're interested.  I'll take 1/2 value.

@philipma1957 I’m ready to pull the trigger on 5 S9s. With the thought that they break down a lot, would you suggest buying used or new from Bitmain?  Current batch from Bitmain is $1415 with a shipment in Jan 21-31. Any thoughts?

@OgNasty, if I buy 5 of them from you, can I use all 5 coupons on 1 order from Bitmain?

[HagssFIN]

I just bought one S9 and the APW3++ psu for Jan 21-31 delivery.

Got some use for that coupon they gave me for the D3..

I think I'm going to wait and see the upcoming AvalonMiner 821 from Canaan Creative before I buy more gear for hosting or here home.

Only 1 coupon per order can be utilize

[pluMmet]

I guess that the price will drop by half in next 3-4 monthes.  

Or perhaps more than that
