I got one S17e for Nov shipment.
Although I like the price of the T17's, I'm trying to maximize TH for my home set-up, at the best efficiency, in the least number of units.
My physical set-up can handle 3 units in regards to power supply and heat exhaust. To run any more than 3 units, I'd have to do more electrical work, adding a sub panel, etc... and getting exhaust ducts out is kind of a pain, so really dont want to do any more.
And I should be able to sell my current units on eBay for the same price I pay for a new one from Bitmain. Once this arrives and I sell the pro-50, I'll look at swapping out the next unit.

Not 100% sure yet. I also ordered a unit from Varispin Tech to try out. 48-53Th @3000w. That should arrive this month. Wasn't thrilled with the efficiency, but it was better than two s9's, and at the time of order, it was easier to buy than anything on eBay (scams), (and I didnt have enough btc in my wallet to order from Bitmain yet).
In short, I have 6plugs. Currently running one s17 56th, one s17 pro 50, and one s9i. On order, one Varispin Starlight miner (sept), one S17e (nov).

I am waiting on some ebay auctions on my current miners - if they sell then I will buy one or two T17's - if they are still available.

@philipma1957
Do you think the T17 38Th/s for 1145USD is a good price?

I think it is. Considering they sell for $3000-4000 on eBay or Amazon. Efficiency is not quite as good as an S17, but the ROI would be quicker. If you have the physical set-up for them (enough power, exhaust set-up), you can buy 2 T17's for 80 TH, for less than one S17 at 60-64TH

It is a good price for some people, but not for others. Depends on what you pay for power, how much risk you can tolerate, what you think price and difficulty are going to do in the next year, ..... etc.

Have some dead Bitmain 17 series hashboards or full miners? I'll buy them ... send me a PM with what you have and I'll make you an offer!

without decent price increase return will be longer than the anticipated halvening

it is a risky and high priced item. But s9 gear will drop off like mad. So more efficient gear can be good.

With presumable close to zero electricity cost from the solar, wouldn't the lowest cost per th/s be the best idea? S9 could be had on the cheap these days...

You need to ROI on your solar array as well as your miners, so not really. Even at 1$ per watt for an array (which is unrealistically low even for huge scale), you'd need to spend around 10K to power each s9. With diff rising, it may take longer than the 25 year life of the solar panels to ROI with s9s.

No not all s9 you would need s9 and s17 pro. As time goes on lower the s9 from 13th to 10th and add an s17 pro. 5 s9 = 70th and use 7kwatts 1 s17 pro = 50th and use 2.1kwatts 9.1kwatts 120th earns 120 x 0.00002022 or 0.002426 a day in 100 days that is 0.2426 btc or 2426 usd so buy an s17pro for dec. drop the 5 s9s to 50th at 4.5kwatts the 2s17 do 106th at 4.2kwatts you are at 8.7kwatts and you grew from 120th to 156th to do this you need say 9 x 24 = 220kwatt system. and a grid tie a 220 kwatt system = 460-500 thousand dollars but and the but is huge the right states give big incentives and the 500 thousand is under 200000. so you pay 200000 and the original gear for mining is 5 s9's = 2000 and 1 s17 = 3000 only 5000 in mining gear. you allowed a 220kwatt setup on your roof because you created a demand with only 5k in gear. and you have builtin ability to keep growing the gear at a cost of next to zero. you need a property that can do 700 panels you need to be able to use the tax credits. Ie you make money at something else. If you can do that solar makes sense.

Bitmain just released 64 Th at 2200 watts shipped in 3 days after payment. Once again, Bitmain is on a major cash grab. Diff jumps are going vertical. By today's metrics this offering gets you ROI by halvening. But...no way that holds. These will be 16 months minimum ROI. Bitmain is at it again. wait for newbs to go broke, then by their gear. That's what I've done the last three cycles. NEVER buy these hype/cycle peaks. People laughed when I predicted that you could buy S9I 14 th for $200.00. I bought 100's of them from $369.00 down to $225.00. My new prediction....wait and buy S17's for $500.00 new in the box post halvening. You heard it here first. $10,000,00 BTC will be the new $3,000.00 BTC.

Where exactly did you see them releasing that? I've been checking both English and Chinese page every hour for a few days now and nothing is indicating that that your statement is true, as the only S17e 64TH/s that is available now is shipping 21-31 December(3293$) and last available(before that previously noted date) was 21-30 November(2683$).
