I'm all for extending the warranty, but raising the price is foolish. Their margins probably already allow them to replace every part of every sold miner and still draw a slight profit. With the prices they've got now, we're subsidizing the miners in their own megafarms - we're already paying them hand over fist to screw us in every way possible. The current price might be justifiable if it had a year warranty on it, assuming the warranty counted for anything and they didn't work so hard to deny every rational claim.

The btc game has become a game of what do you pay for power?

A new s9 at 1540 + 60 to ship is 1600 usd if you are blessed with 3 cent power

and you can get 12.93th using 1400 watts

you will earn 500 usd in 1 one year with the machine still in hand.

that is a good deal if you have a good warranty.

look at projections for 4% growth and 3% growth in both cases if you have 3 cent power you make good money in a year.

name me any investment that returns the numbers below.

so the current 12.93 machine is priced well if it has a 1 year warranty. it is underpriced if it has a 1 year warranty.

So back to my argument they should jack price by 100-200 bucks and give the one year warranty.
