Now - finally some interesting news on S9 for cloud miners

It looks like BTM is NOT going to offer to us this option

By the last information it WILL NOT be a S9

Any suggestions from community?

Where did you read this info? Mind sharing the link with us?

I had a search around and it seems it originally came from the Bitmain Facebook page and then that reply was posted on the Hashnest Forum.

Someone had asked a question about S9 coming to Hashnest on Facebook and then Bitmain replied to the question. The most important word I have put in Bold.

Continuing our efforts to decentralize the bitcoin mining network, we do not have plans for that yet.
Regards,
the Bitmain team

The thread on hashtalk can be found here,
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3565

Interestingly the answer that was pasted on the Hashtalk thread was different to the one I saw on Facebook, make of that what you will. Maybe Bitmain edited it after or perhaps it was a case of more than one question asked and perhaps another support person at Bitmain answered differently.

Here is the answer that was copied and pasted from Facebook and put into the Hashnest thread

"Keeping in line with our efforts to decentralize the bitcoin mining network, we do not have any such plans.

the Bitmain team"

As you can see, slightly different answer, so make of that what you will.

What has S9 hashes got to do with decentralizing? The chinese have already controlled half the mining market. Are there more sinister reasons for their statement?
