Two wake-up blocks this morning! Cheesy

Ugg, the Diff just changed to 221G... Sad

Edit: I was waiting until the R4 became available about 5 minutes ago...and holy crap! 8.6TH for $1395 USD! Angry

I'm putting my KeepKey back in the safe...

Yeah at that point you might as well add 200 bucks and get the 12TH + from the S9

At that price, R4 is just another expensive miner at 1.4k - the S9 12.93TH dropping to 1.6k is a "better bargain" - the miner is going to be at my ISP anyways and who cares about the noise.... but I want to wait for the A7 for bit more before pulling trigger for more S9s.

The A7 (or whatever they end up calling it) is more intriguing to me than anything BM puts out. So I'm still chugging away with just a few A6s.

I have to agree. I'm not trying to sell Avalon here, but after working with strictly BM gear for the past couple of years, I've changed my allegiance. I'm getting pretty consistent 3.8-4TH rates from my new (relatively quiet) A6 here at home; I could therefore essentially equal an R4's output on two A6s for two-thirds of the capital, although the amp draw on the R4 is low on the face of it.

It also does not give me a whole lot of warm fuzzy confident feelings when BiteMe labels their spec sheet page for the R4 as "S9".

don't forget the s-9 warranty policy is 90 days and hard to get them to honor it.

my adventures in warranty enforcement 6 s-9's 18 boards

second board died yesterday.
first board is in colorado since weds last week no info on it as of today.

second board is sitting in may batch one the warranty dies on sept 9 or 10 which is 90 days after june 12 shipping.

none of my s-9's could do stock numbers without the use of ac. so I am going to take a beating on these six units if they continue to fail.
