Bitmain introduces the Antminer S17 Pro, Antminer S17, and the Antminer T17

Why 5555 a coin?

Well 6666 looks too evil.

And 4444 is really low.

So 5555 is in the middle.

Basically a hard price drop under 6k would stop sales big time.

I am guessing bitmain is doing smaller builds of gear. Just in case of a price drop.

One of the best financial analysis of crypto I have seen in months! LOL.

I think bitmain is just having supply issues on the 7nm ASIC's next batch of 17 Series miners is shipping in August

[rz66]

supply issues or mining with the machines before sending them abroad, cheeky bastards lol

[minefarmbuy]

They had some quick early batches and imagine they're waiting their turn at the foundry now.

yea, may be they are upgrading their S9 farm to S17

Don't forget Bitdeer and Hashnest... With the higher prices return the crowds willing to throw their money into the cloud, never to see it again...

T17 - 40 th/s shipping in September for 1052 and T17 - 40 th/s shipping in June for 1484 are up on bitmain. I used a 338 coupon and got a June one for just over 1200 shipped. Also more S9j - 14.5 th/s units put back up on site.

Edit: and about 3 hours later all sold out again.

No "maybe" about it, they have a video on their facebook profile of them upgrading all the racks and removing the S9's to replace them with S15/T15/S17/S11 style form factors.

Where do you think all the s9's came from that have gone for sale on their site?

Most likely the cause in the jump in hash rate this week as well.

Funny to see Bitmain abusing their own equipment (or they don't care, lol). Horizontal placement hurts the upper board.

[minefarmbuy]

High time preference. I imagine they can replace boards more easily in their minds than it would to vertically install.  ..

Yes i figured as much, being the manufacturer also helps... Unfortunately those racks were designed for the older form factor, and this is a quick re-purposing. A proper designed rack would leave no room for horizontal placing, but its bad some customers would see this video and think its ok.

I am checking Bitmain shop website several times a day, but I have never seen availble units yet
So I'd like to know how can I reach few units of Antminer (not necessarily T17/ S17 but any of newest products)
BTW do I see correct that first batch will be dispatched in June or was it  any T17/S17 already sent?

Many people have the first batch of s17s  mining in house myself included.

I have been using mine for  8 days.

when they do come up for sale it is usually around 12am to 2am Eastern time for me and they dont last long - maybe 2 hours tops, sometimes they are sold out in less than 20 minutes.

Smaller batches lots of resellers eating them up. Best to plan ahead or find a trusted vendor.

New firmware for the 17 series.

Normal:

If you have the April 16th or earlier firmware, you need to flash the intermediate update from 5/24, then do the 5/27 one.

On Turbo, my gains from went up about 60 GH with this update after evaluating the 24 hour hashrate. That's like a third of a S1

So..........one of my T17s just died today....about 2 weeks into operation. Apparently having an integrated PSU is NOT A GOOD IDEA!

The miner is fine, but the PSU blown a fuse or something. total of 10 miners, 1 already blew a PSU 2 weeks into operation.

Hope the S17s fare a bit better.

What is your typical power in volts?

210
220
230
240

what speed was it on?

high
low

[Thetaj]

My power is always 230

The T17s don't let you choose the speed, its just on normal.

curiously, This came up when I was trying to send some screenshots back to Bitmain

Well you can technically replace the psu, but since you are till under warranty  and unless they explicitly tell you to, send back the whole thing...

Ambient temperature and humidity readings at the time of the event would be useful to know if possible.
