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

[MinerSRQ]

Thanks for all the comments. The problem with that is we don't have any BCH. We just wanted to deal in USD.

Hey, if you need $30 in BCH, I'd happily send it for you ASAP.

Hello

I have 34 * s9 currently available at reykjavik iceland. in a data center. its working and currently mining.

if anybody interested i am ready to sell.

Whatsapp me at +44 745271 8805
BTC/USD/Cash

out of curiosity, why are you selling?

[bl1nd]

if you have free power and nobody has to listen it's awesome.

Even with free power you still have the cost of the money you put in place and your time along with any import fees and rental costs.

As a space heater then it works well at 9500 USD/BTC getting you a small profit of 0.04BTC over the course of 1.5 years of babysitting.

An estimated 0.04BTC over 1.5 years. Damn near nowhere certain.

Also out of curiosity because it's very difficult to read that spreadsheet, does that include the large chunk of money you'll get back when you go to sell and upgrade miners in the future or are you just for some reason assuming that it will be a piece of metal to throw in the garbage?

Great question.

Unfortunately I have not had a request for this. However I can add it.

Like selling and keeping your overhead low and perhaps using these as heating sources in place of conventional heaters.

The reality is you can depreciate the asset over time to get tax savings.

I don't know how accurate it would be because god knows what will happen a few years from now, but you could use the time since the S7 has been released and the percentage that its retail price on Bitmain vs. it's resale price on eBay has declined over that time span and factor that in. It's a lot of money that a lot of people don't consider when they calculate ROI.

S7 still selling for around 700$

In a country like Venezuela electricity is free, a s7 makes more than 100$ a month thats A LOT OF MONEY over there, minimum monthly wage is 5$ believe it or not. So yeah, there is still a market for old miners in some countries. I think in some UAE countries electricity is also free, but i doubt they see it as a business oportunity those guys are swiming in money

Welcome R4 to Bitmain Family.
It seems they are announcing a new machine every week now

http://shop.bitmain.com/antminer_r4_silent_bitcoin_miner_for_home.htm?flag=overview

Marketed as a "silent" miner, to be used at home. From initial specs listed on Bitmain website, I could see 8th/s and 2600w (if I am reading correct). Do you think this could be a game changer? If not, I think we could finally have real home heaters (if not noisy)

If you are accumulating a LOT of S9's and you're beginning to wonder how you will be able to keep them cool this summer, here's an excellent means of keeping them cool.  Two pages of photos with description for each photo in this link:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2865914.0

My dad will have some ASIC's running in here along with GPU miners.  The last 4 posts in that link are of my place and the 4th build to make room for more rigs with a power upgrade from 225 amps to 600 amps this summer.

Enjoy...

It isnt new, the R4 is old AF, they just discontinued them really fast, they broke too much

I am selling 2 bitmain 125 USD coupons and one bitmain 50 usd coupon at a good discount. Interested parties please offer me. Coupon expiry end june Thanks

[leowonderful]

I'm confused as to why Bitmain is still marketing all their rebrands like the V9 as being 'new'. Don't think it's fooling anybody at this point, but I reckon the R4s will still sell well as more people are getting in crypto and want to mine quietly (too bad these things were extremely unreliable). I recall the R4s were selling for close to or more than $2000 at some point near Bitcoin's ATH.

Also, the miner does 8/8.7TH/s and uses .1W/GH, so power usage is around 800-870W. Nowhere near the 2Kw you were mentioning earlier. Any further discussion about the R4s should also happen in the link below instead of in the S9 thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597639.840

[Zelek Uther]

Does anyone have any info about whether Bitmain have a new miner in the works?

I understand the S9 is still the most efficient miner available from Bitmain, just wondering whether I should buy some or hold out for better tech.

I ordered in January as well, March 1 delivery but hoping sooner. Relocating my farm 700 miles away and am waiting on this order to come so I can move it.

[The Demon Slick]

they've been available to order at bitmains website all week. Hasn't been like that in a long time.

[kobo_eth]

So guys, has anyone used the R4 Miner before or has any direct feedback on it? I tried googling, but too few is available. I am interested if indeed it is quiet enough to be used at home conditions.
