EBang 14nm 6.3T (140W/T) BTC Miner for sale soon

[leowonderful]

Avalon 721 ballpark efficiency.

 They would have to price this miner 20-30% less per TH than the S9 before Bitmain felt significant price pressure.


 Do note that Bitmain DID drop the price on the R4 recently - apparently the Avalon is quiet ENOUGH that Bitmain felt it represented real competition for the R4, so they dropped the R4 price down ALMOST in line on a $/TH basis to the S9.

 It's also interesting to note that the S9 price DROP got partly rolled back about the same timeframe.

Expected. From this big a company, they can afford dropping prices and thus killing competition. Bitmain's always going to be on top with pricing and efficiency, even if these guys dropped prices Bitmain's R4 and S9 will still be more popular due to higher efficiency.

This seems a well done scam site, but who knows, anyone got more info?

I believe it's real. They had an official launch at Chengdu, China a few days ago. They said all their current stock of 5000 E9 miners were sold out during the launch.
Owner of fish pool also attended the launch and took photos with them.

Zero. They seem legit as of now, but they don't seem to have sold to any big resellers or anybody willing to review yet. Makes them look a bit fishy, but at least it isn't one of those prebuy scams we often see with bitcoin mining. Maybe the buyers are lying low, but we have no solid evidence this miner ever existed.

if anyone knows them , put us in touch. I'll buy and verify , including multiple highly regarded escrow providers , merchants.  Right now , the market is hot. Inside CN , miners sell like water in the desert. Outside CN , well , an hour or two for bitmain available new, high per unit from Canaan, nothing public from Bitfury. If it's legit, let's vet it and get the sales going. Hopefully they aren't also @ TSMC =p.

Assuming the media that I follow reported truth, they could not keep up with the demand. They sold out 5k stock immediately on the day of launch and currently fulfilling orders for big purchaser. I don't think they are interested in dealing with small buyers yet.

When I am about to place an order for 10 units E9, the sales person requested 50% up front payment. I stepped back after that.

this sucked. I would not proceed either.

 They're willing to front you 50%?

 VERY generous for the cryptocoin mining industry, which has traditionally been "FULL payment in advance".

Yep, which is why most of these companies don't do so well with small buyers early on They seem like ok people, but you still don't know if they're going to run with your money or not. I'll wait until they start selling to smaller buyers first before proceeding.

[philipma1957]

if they sold 5000 units  at 6.3th that is 31.5ph

 we will get a good spike this diff will be over 5% again

Cool to see, but would love to find a review!

What I mean is they are currently out of stock, but will be available by the end of December. If want to order now, they are requesting me to pay 50% as deposit and pay the remaining 50% when those miners are ready to ship. That's a red flag for me.

It is available @ Aliexpress,

[mindtrip]

Anyone seen these out in the wild yet?

[Ejanend]

Wow, if this is real it might cause some competition again in the ASIC industry would be exciting to see them compete against Bitmain.
We may even get some price drops out of it

The efficiency is lower than S9. If you pay electricity, then it is better to use S9 if the price is not very cheap.

[tbonetony]

Is anyone here seriously interested in buying from them? I have got in discussions with their sales (in Chinese) and I believe they are legit.

[Rabinovitch]

Let them just give to some of us a test unit (for testing period or with postpaid), this guy (these guys may be) will review it and claim to all community that they are legit.

It is available @ Aliexpress,

Any links, please?
