tip: doesn't Bitmain usually advertise them self , when they do world wide sales ? .... or they have in the past even for used junk . just saying nothing more I'm sure bitmain is selling these 5k plus units but id hold off ... an what ever happen to the faster they got the Less Electricity they used by that I mean miners doing lets says 15 th using below 1 k watts or 900 watts ...... or 15 th with 900 watts @ the wall .... well anyway i knew that was a pipe dream, right now. they do indeed use less now but I expected better power usage by now . but then again they also don't make home miners either like they did once upon a time or when they first started out . just my 2 cents worth .

I guess people who will be desperate to mine join the bitcoin mining craze will be the first ones to jump in and buy. Funny how like used antminer S9s get sold on ebay for more than $5000 and thats not yet even including the power supply. Its kind of scary that way and I understand why some people are now very skeptical about bitcoin calling it a bubble and all that FUD. Good thing I know better tho. Hodl. Yep, and Bitmain took note. They bumped the price of all their S9 and L3+ march preorders up $200-400 dollars each and they still all sold out. It was funny. Bitmain sold the last march batch L3+ at $1900 - $2000 until they sold out, then reduced the price back down to $1500 on their web site after they were already sold out. My guess is they have all those miners currently running and then send them out after the 45 - 60 day "burn in" testing to make sure they all work according to spec I got my order in for an L3+ during the last batch and only paid $1536

Then the last 48 hours of the march batches went up to 1900, and 2050. Then once they sold out, the price went back to 1536 on the web site. I thought about getting another 2, went to the site, and decided nope when I saw the price.

Wow, they're really trying to milk the puppy, They do realize people are buying at ridiculous price based on ephemeral profitability. They are aware that it will probably have faded before they even have to ship the units. Ruthless. Yes. So maybe the T9+ model has something like 159 chips..
@btc-haze Thanks for the information! Btw, can you fix the thread title? I guess you meant to wrote 'T9+' instead of the 'T3+'?
Yes that basically click baited me here. "The fuck is a T3". It's 28 t1s! Wahwah. Sorry. Internet backbone humor. Damn I was off - I always thought a T3 was .004503 OC-192s Thanks for that. That's an OC3, they don't convert exactly but capacity is - almost - the same. True T3 is 28 @1.544mbps Mux up! Mux Down.

The price is certainly high enough to exclude anyone who doesn't have really really cheap power, but one must also consider that the cost of having a regular S9 fail after 6 months may be higher.

Actually a number of forum members have stated they like the T9's specs in that they're basically bullet proof and the chip temps are much lower than an S9. At least that's how the previous batches of T9's have been.
I've been running T9s for a very long time without any issues (touch wood)! They actually run warmer than an S9 and generate more heat. It is working under 18 deg C room temp and chip temp is always above 77 but never above 82.

What are the chances that they will release another batch for half the price with a delayed delivery like they did with the A3?!

What are the chances that they will release another batch for half the price with a delayed delivery like they did with the A3?! Very very slim. The A3 price reduction was because Bitmain released 10x the global hashrate when they launched the A3, thus decreasing profits by 10x. This last batch of T9+ will be barely noticeable in terms of the affect on global hashrate and therefor the "value" of the T9+ will remain high as long as Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash remain high.

I would love to see a new version of the R4. I think a sub 1000 watt draw miner would sell very quickly here in the US for the entry level miner. Hell when they come out with the 12nm or 10nm chips, make like a "mini" version for the hobbyist that uses 1/2 the number of chips 100% agree! Would love to see more options for individual home miners Moderator's note: This post was edited by frodocooper to remove a nested quote.
