Maybe maybe not.

Still not listed.  I think it lists in about an hour.

I need to check on stock, but I can put together some $70 server PSU (DPS800) kits to power these. Won't be whisper quiet of course but it'd work fine on 120V. Looks like I might end up with one or two hosted so it'll be fun to actually see one in action soon.

Though price is a bit high, I see a lot of potential in this ASIC. I think that it will very soon be out of stocks !

So what time does it go on sale in the US? I can't figure out exactly.

About 50 minutes I think.

Bitmain WANs us to focus on the $1000 r4?  

Can we mine altcoin through this miner as i am new to this mining field, and what percentage of hashpower will it use to mine the altcoin and what about the software to mine it. and what algorithm will it use to mine the altcoin. If any one can help me with the spec of this miner.

if you would rather mine PPC with your R4 once you have it, here is one of the many POOLS you can mine PPC on https://peercoin.ecoining.com it must pay something ,some miner park S9 and S7  A6 on that POOL .


Trade those PPC here for ETH or BTC or whatever coin they support . https://shapeshift.io/#/coins


8 mins my time good luck .

I'm willing to bet that you're on BST but who cares. It's on in 5 minutes, or more likely ~25, since Bitmain is rarely on time with these sales.

And it is up.  $1400 per unit with no PSU.  And its a flop!

EDIT: With another $240 for the PSU that looks to be only able to power 1 unit

Ha, as I said, it will increase the value of used S7 by $100, maybe $150.
$1395X4.7/8.6 (X0.7-premium due to efficency coefficient)=$533 value for S7.

Holy moly, the price is just too much IMO

DAMN!   Soooo over priced!

[fusion0389]

Way too expensive... However, some will buy due to self inflicted power and\or noise restrictions...

[clgrissom3]

Holy crap!  $1395 USD!  

Putting my KeepKey back in the safe...

[suchmoon]

Sorry Bitmain, I was wrong, you're on time but that's about the only positive thing to say about this.

Same price for 2/3 of the hashrate... sheer idiocy.
