Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner

[leowonderful]

I'm currently in China and the site works well for me (probably because I'm near their servers). Same goes if I use a VPN for the West coast of the USA. It's probably an issue on your end that csuses the page to not load- perhaps try using a different browser or device altogether. I wouldn't worry too much, Bitmain gets things sorted out in the end.

If you have coupons you want to sell, it may be a good idea to start a thread in the Digital Goods section for them. The mods usually don't remove posts for them here, but that's where I have been seeing most sales of coupons occuring as of lately.

Tracking info sent this morning. Scheduled delivery Friday.

Bitmain said it would ship on the 20th and it did. Now I just hope it ROIs.

[dagarair]

same I got tracking and everything the first day they said it would ship.

So it looks like 1432 units shipped so far.  That's 14,320,000 sols/s.  ZEC network hashrate is between 500,000,000 and 600,000,000 sols/s so that's something like 2.5-3% of ZEC network hashrate.

I am mining Zec and I don't see a significant decrease in daily rewards in mining with my Nvidia cards. Probably 2.5-3% increase in network hashrate is not something to be too much worried though I don't know what to mine when the rewards start decreasing.

A good thing about Z9 is that you have some high chances to ROI because it consumes only 300 watt and it has an hashrate of 10000 sol/s.

Considering they allowed orders of 50 after a few days, I expect this number to greatly increase.

Anyone else getting killed in customs, $63?  really?

Mine says I have a fee.  I called UPS but they say they can't tell me what it will actually be until it lands in the US and clears customs in the US, whenever that is.  It is supposed to deliver on Friday.

[Kahooli]

it's worth every penny to have UPS act as your agent.

63 usd for z9 tax ? That is cheap. I just charged by dhl for custom related fee: 110usd for 2 bitmain psu (210+65 purchase)

Same.   Welcome to import taxes.

Ha! Nothing beats Asian countries. $595 import tax. Thats 30% tax + some other bullshit admin fees.

And they say ASICs are more decentralized? Can't even purchase a single one of these without being gouged by taxes because the barrier to entry ($2000++ per ASIC / FPGA). This is why i believe GPUs should be the standard POW machines.

Next shipment seems to be going out. Got a shipment email but only for a PSU, hopefully the miner will ship soon.

Same here: I was so happy to get an email from Bitmain about delivery... but then I read it...

   APW3++  Shipped Qty = 1
   Z9 Mini    Shipped Qty = 0

They do that. Gone through it a couple times; not a problem anymore since the older miners aren't worth running, so I have enough psus to go around.

Or order only miners and use HP PSUs with breakout boards instead.

Mine is shipped. Woot. Should be here Monday.

Why would I do that? I said I already have plenty.
