T9+ seems useless, uses more power for 25% less hashrate.
It’s already been proven that the t9 is more reliable than the s9. Who proved it? None of my S9s ever broke down. They were the most reliable and profitable machines. |

I have, because I manage thousands of each type. The T9s are easily 3 times as reliable as the S9. |
Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Lets hope samsung re-evaluates the market and backs off.
I don't understand how they managed to keep things hush hush and have a foundry running, at full capacity and mass producing chips by the end of January as per that article. I find it very odd that they literally released something like this at the end of January... Well, they are a big company. This is like a small thing to them. |
Selling 100 dollar coupons (8units expire 11th June, 14 units expire 1st july) and 125 dollar coupon (2 unit exp 30th June). Selling at 20% of value

I was under the assumption that the s11 would introduce a new chipset, which of course no one is expecting any time soon. |

S9s will be mining at a loss around June. Roi is approaching never very quickly at current btc prices.

There are places in the world with cheap power. Hell even the USA has places with power under .05/kwh |

I’ve done my best trying to demonstrate this obvious fact to people in this thread, simple hashrate forecasts show we’re entering a period of negative profitability for all of us. Yet, people cannot see what they don’t want to see, once emotionally invested it’s hard to remain rational. Hence S9’s are still selling like cupcakes every time a batch is released... |

There are 3 factors which you should consider before buying the S9 now.
1. The difficulty is not going to come down.
2. Where do you think the BTC / BCH price will be in a year?
3. When do you think the newer machines will come out and what do you think they will cost?
Please think about these 3 factors and then make up your own mind. As of today, the earning from one S9 is 0.00135 BTC. This is from BTC Pool using a 13.5 TH/s S9 miner. Do your own math.

There are places in the world with cheap power. Hell even the USA has places with power under .05/kwh Even with free electric they will be returning nearly nothing. You will never roi. Buying one now at retail prices would probably take well over a year. Currently around 12-14 months without even factoring diff adjustments that are sure to come. Probably closer to two years plus to roi. |

S9 used to be only 1200$ last summer.
In December when btc hit ath, they have increased the price by 100%
You guys think bitmain will adjust the price accordingly now?
Or new miner is on the horizon ?

Otherwise your snarky comments are just trolling. |

It depends on how you are mining. If you are mining and selling the coin on a day to day basis it's not good right now. You need to be mining with the assumption of what the .00135 BTC will be worth in the future or else your numbers will be screwed up. There is a real possibility that btc will be 25k-50k sometime this year. If you can mine now and sell later I think you will be good. Yes it could also go down but there is no reward without risk. I feel like a lot of people want to mine because they think it is a guaranteed way to make money and they just sell their profits daily because they don't want to take a risk.

This has been brought up many times before. It's just a fallacy. Once you get to a point where your miner is not profitable based on today's value of bitcoin (either it's not going to ROI if you recently purchased it, and/or, it's costing you more power than what it generates), it's always better to invest your money directly into BTC if what you're banking on is BTC value to go up. That's just a fact. |

That’s the wisest thing you can do at this stage. It would be even better if you could sell them now as a “pre-order” with promised March delivery although that concept does not seem to fly anymore either these days. I’ve been monitoring the price of miners selling on Ebay since I sold mine last month and they have been dropping faster than the value of BTC. Every miner now is selling for a couple of hundred bucks less than the one before. |
