Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner

[TGJ]

Sounds like we have to wait a couple more weeks... https://twitter.com/bitmaintech/status/1003556656909672448?s=21

I’m jealous of those lucky few that got one early.

Ouch, that is a huge gap in shipment dates... Not cool at all.  Not sure why they would bundle up 77 orders then wait for 3 weeks to ship the next batch.

They sent them out to all the shills and supporters of Bitmain 1st.  The rest of us have to suffer, so the shills can ROI

I'm not a shill. I just happened to be ordering a B3 when the Z9 appeared in the store.

And yes, posting a link to the video makes some sense. I would like to hear the video clown's answer/explaination.

Boxalex,

He deleted the video.

Again, great job man! 

+1

You deserve a merit for that one.  Certainly earned it.

Should be double proofed than by now, lol 

By the way, the only right thing to do from him, taking it down as it didn't contain 1 single real fact.
And hopefully he as well learned the lesson to just double check things bevor making them public available.

Yes, agreed.  It was the right thing to do from him.  I believe "WE" learned a lesson.  

Thanks for teaching it.

When I bought my mini's I figured there would be an X9.  Thing is the mini's are perfect for home, they are as quiet as a GPU right, and don't draw a lot of power.  There is a market for them, deal with it

Again, this. It's like saying Mac Minis are a conspiracy because Mac Pros exist.

I know that, but our thread troll wants everyone to think if you bought a mini you are going to be screwed because one Bitmain is evil and 2 the Z9 will be 50 times faster at a 10th of the price. 

Sorry, but you're not in MULTIPLE threads, like I am, to know everything that's going on.  Well, maybe you are...  Doesn't look like it though.

The only reason I'm bringing up the Z9 (not "mini") [That I refer to as "Beast" and have since day one] Is simply to point out they have "POTENTIALLY" privately/secretly mined Equihash coins LONG BEFORE the Z9 mini came on the scene.  Just as Monero was privately/secretly mined long before they released their Cryptonight ASIC.  The only reason they released the X3 was after growing suspicion of being found out by Monero developers.  Of course, to be fair, that is also "speculation" on my part.  Doesn't mean my speculation is wrong but it doesn't mean I'm correct either.  BUT, if you look at the Monero Hash rate how it dropped as much as it did, I'm sure BITMAIN had a decent portion of that hash rate that was forked off by Monero.  Which has me "speculating" if similar actions are occurring here with Equihash coins.

As for Z9 mini purchasers being screwed by Bitmain;  No, not necessarily.  It's my opinion they're getting screwed by their own decision to purchase "IF" these forks play out the way I'm "speculating" they play out.

It's THAT simple.

Here we go... I'm "Jonesing" again for you.  Get it?  

Suppose it's only a coincidence these 51% attacks occur on coins that:  "SPECULATION BELOW"

#1:  Declared they will fork away from ASIC's.
#2:  All within a short time after CONFIRMING they will fork away from ASIC's.
#3:  BITMAIN has a "motive" to implement a 51% attack based on their declaration they will fork.
#4:  The fact that BITMAIN revealed they have a Z9 (not "mini") proves it would be VERY easy to implement a 51% attack.  Which would ALSO prove they have mined with them for quite some time.

Once these coins are forked, we'll see BITMAIN LIED to Zooko about not private mining AND about not having a larger Equihash rig that's been mining for a LONG time once everyone notes how much the network hash rate drops.  Especially, if ZEC actually forks.

I really hope people reading these forums don't make their financial decisions based off of anything written here.

There is so much FUD spreading like cancer in the guise of "common sense", "basic logic". How about RTFM!

Great, this thread is close to 50 pages of garbage.

If the z9 makes sense people will buy it, if it doesn't it will flop. Can this thread be closed.. .

/sigh

Boom? He's just continually repeating thoughts and ideas that have been talked about for ages all over this board but acting like it's some revelation only he is capable of bringing to the people. It's blowhardy and annoying, all that's happening is the entire conversation of this thread is being drowned out by "look at me, I am right" when almost nobody is even disagreeing with him on the majority of points. And he's being a dick to people about it (though to be fair, there's an equal amount of that going back his way, but still).

Like the post you just quoted. He replied to a joke as if it was part of some serious conversation we weren't even having. That's "it" for you?

Sure...  as long as others keep repeating...

It is really easy to hit ignore... Only time I am bothered by the endless trolling now is when you guys quote the trolls here... Stop quoting them and replying to him. 

There is nothing new here for trolls. This is a community wide problem that won't get solved here.  That much I can promise you.  Innovation, creativity, and looking for new approaches will help put things back into balance.  Things are clearly out of balance right now but this too will pass.

I debated the ignore thing, but he's not the worst troll by far, and I'm on here for information, you never know when someone might contribute something useful. But I totally hear you on the quoting troll posts, making a mental note to stop doing that.

best thing I ever did to sift through the BS here is to click ignore on everyone running a sig campaign - then adding the remaining shitposters to the ignore list is quite easy.

If anyone says anything useful, it usually gets quoted anyway, so you can unignore the few that run sig campaigns and don't have ulterior motives in their posts.

I found this technique allows me to cover more threads in less time and to get more useful info than trying to scroll through everything.

YMMV.

And you're not on a "sig campaign?"

just got a strange email from Bitmain!!! price dropped coupons and double Z9 shippment.. so confused
