Selling coupon is more profitable now  Grin Grin Grin

Haha true! Although some great bargains to be had on bitmains site with these coupons, just the import tax is the killer!

This might be a good opportunity for re-sellers in case BTC goes up, where bitmain will pump up their prices.

I’m also looking for 420 coupons to purchase for $85 with escrow.  I’ll pay escrow fee.  PM if available.

U should go look at marketplace section. Lets hope bitmain lowers their production for future asics. Difficulty rising too much considering bitcoin price not rising.

Just my 2 cents.

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've been looking at marketplace but no luck at the moment.  Maybe it's a sign to wait more before purchasing miners.  Saw a listing for >$100 per coupon but I'm not willing to pay that much.

Didn't see this mentioned in the S9 thread, but thought I'd share some info on the S9 that I saw mentioned in an article about Bitmain's E3 :

..."Because of the declining value of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, some market watchers are concerned that Bitmain may significantly cut its orders with TSMC. However, the sources from the upstream supply chain revealed that Bitmain so far has not made any major adjustment to its orders. In addition to 16nm and 28nm mining and AI chip orders, Bitmain is currently in talks with the Taiwan-based wafer foundry about manufacturing on its 7nm process.

Bitmain's 16nm Bitcoin ASIC orders have recently been shifted from TSMC's Fab 14 in Taiwan to the fab in Nanjing, China as Fab 14 will be upgraded to support a 12nm manufacturing process. The orders are expected to begin shipments in May, the sources said.

Fab 14 has already obtained orders from MediaTek for its AI-supported Helio P60 smartphone AP and Nvidia for its next-generation GPUs, the sources added.

In addition to the Antminer E3, Bitmain's Sophon BM1680 AI chip is also manufactured on TSMC's 28nm, the sources noted. "

We can only hope, of course if they release the S11's too quickly they will gain even more haters because they were selling the S9's for 2800 not too long ago  Roll Eyes

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

That's production of the chips in May...with most of the current Bitmain coupons expiring end of June.   Coincidence?    Roll Eyes

Read that carefully folks...  Order were shifted to the China fab, presumable also a 16nm one.  Fab 14 was being upgraded, but Bitmains chips would not be coming from there now, they will be coming from the older tech China plant.

Date doesnt really matter, since they simply do not allow Coupons for new products - like with the E3.

I fully agree. The more useful information was, that they “talk” about 7nm with TMSC. This technology will be more likely the base for the S11 ASIC than 12nm.
So the good news is, it seems that they didn’t even start the 7nm design process.

How much better is 12nm over 16nm u think? 12/16 = 0.75. Will it be 25% ish better?

For anyone looking to order from Bitmain.

I just placed an order now.

They are now accepting BCH, BTC and LTC as payment.

First I have seen this.

First I have seen this.

The last order i placed of 13.5T S9s, received 2 of them 13T. after exchanging tickets, they have decided to compensate with a $83 coupon.

For me the best miner is the 14T. It runs at cooler temperatures reaching max 74C and almost steady fan speeds.

The 13T and 13.5T are driving me crazy. the fans keeps going crazy, constantly ramping up to max and down, overthought the inlet temperature is 19C! tried everything but still going crazy.
