So, I take it the price of S9 hasnt been corrected for halving yet? ... looks outrageously overpriced...
these new batches released after halving are still insanely priced way too high
+1 here too, I am just sat waiting to buy at the moment.
I wish you luck on this. I think they may raise price to keep sales just slow or just fast enough.
So back to the s-5 against the sp20 as soon as they killed of the sp20 they raise price on the s-5 and slowed down growth.
I thought they would continue on like this with the s-7 but they were looking forward to the ½ they made the network grow like mad.. I thought they were stupid but now 400ph is dead gear and 800 ph is s-7 or avalon 6 close to dead.
No 1/2ing in site and they are the only one with .1 watt gear.
their best interest is to sell the s-9 at the highest price they can and limit growth of difficulty forcing out all the s-5's and below from now to sept or oct. So if you ware waiting for a 1200 dollar s-9 it wont be for a while.
Barring the bitfury seling a .1 watt miner.
They literally killed SP on the S5 and SP20 pricing. SP tried to compete and they claimed to be losing money at the end of it on SP20, don't know if truth in it. But Bitmain won that without a doubt.
One thing to is they can also mine them their self's. They don't have to sell every miner to user's like us they can keep some internal. If it makes more sense to keep internal vs selling cheap i'm sure it will stay internal. So I really don't know what to expect on price. It is a interesting time I will say I'm happy Bitmain is selling to home/hobby miner's still. If it was not for them I personally would not be mining currently as at my electricity S9 is only miner that really makes sense to mine as far as BTC goes.
