Antminer T9+ coming out in China tmrw - 5000 units

[btc-haze]

Thoughts on this ? it is basically a slower S9 at a higher price. Some reviews have said it has a longer longevity

but priced at 24900 RMB = $3828 USD and only 10.5 TH/s with higher consumption.

Would you purchase this ?!?

Wow they must be dumping their bad BM1387 chips, those are the worst spec Bitmain miner of this generation

[VRobb]

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.

Oh i know, I manage over 1200 T9s and they are 10x as reliable as the S9. The problem is these are even less efficient then the original T9 at an absolutely insane price. Hence why I said this looks like a chip dump, especially if the rumors of bitmain announcing a new miner this month are true.

Antminer T9
Hash Rate: 11.5TH/s ±7%
Power Consumption: 1450W ±7%

Antminer T9+
Hash Rate: 10.5TH/s ±5%
Power Consumption: 1432W ±7%

I'm not getting the new name, T9+.  
Since the hash rate is actually lower than before, and also the power efficiency is slightly worse than before.

Maybe some updated changes in the miner design?

I presume that there are less amount BM1387 chips in the T9+ design.

[fanatic26]

The T9 has 171 chips versus 189 in the S9

[HagssFIN]

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+'?

[VirosaGITS]

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 that basically click baited me here. "The fuck is a T3".

Very efficient way to attract people here to participate discussions.

Yea I'm curious to see what happens when all these new comers who are overpaying for miners realize that bitcoin mining isn't as cool/simple as they anticipated.

I'm seeing A LOT of people trying to mine with their new S9 in their 250 square foot NYC apartment with only enough power to run 2 of the three hash boards.

And a lot of people buying sidehack's stick expecting it to mine a whole bitcoin.

My 25$ Sidehack stick wont mine 1 BTC? Crap! Would would of thought  
I lottery mined with mine for a year but now its collecting dust, hah.

PT Barnum was right...and then a bunch of used miners will be on sale in the next few months (when it gets warmer).

This was a China release, perhaps these 5000 won't even be exported out of China

They'll be on AliExpress within days.

sorry bout that, just revised it ...

so true, bitmain states sales will start tmrw. and delivery in 7-10 days.

[leowonderful]

So based on what I have seen I assume the efficiency of this unit is lower probably because the chips are volted or clocked higher, probably to compensate for the lower hashrate. Price is too high, and the S9s earlier sold for less though they were in stock for maybe 5 minutes.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bitmain are about to release a new miner, some competition has slowly been building and they might want something else to put them ahead of the pack.

The new miner is rumour to be for btc or ltc?

[the_electronrancher]

As far as chip dump goes, it could just be that they were saving up the "bin 2" underperforming chips for a while and recently had enough to make an assembly run of T9.  That pricing is obnoxious, though!
