Bitmain's early batches are always spendy. When this doesn't move they will drop the price.
How many people overpaid for Batch 1 S9s? Plenty!
But Bach1 was better, as this todays S9 crap.
Yesterday I lost another CENTER hashblade from NEW miner.
Shipped 2016-08-18
The total count is now 8 hashblade from 23 miner.
3 boards from 11xS9B1 , But one was D.O.A. 5 boards from following baches 12 miners.
