Interesting test setup for your "brand new" miners.
I mean I always test gear by zip tying the network cable to the fan while mounting the unit on a rack for a simple 10 minute check.
Then I hook up a different network cable and take a second picture to show how tested it really is, and also to prove it can work with different colored network cables.
But, when I'm permanently installing something, it goes onto my test bench, and there it stays with the original packaging materials for months and months until it reaches its end of life.
I guess we do things differently.
Sorry I am not following you.
Also, please everyone that have a Ant Miner S9 + Power Supply for less than $3,000, also if actually know about it, with a good power supply cable (because the Bitmain one are shitty) please contact me. I will buy them all.
Do not contact me if you can't actually understand that time is money in this business (every second count), while you sit and way at least 3 months (add some extra months because Bitmain have to develop them) you lose money, it is a fact.
Plus, just holding the BTC you make whatever people (not just me, because I take them from somebody else, just business) could ask you to pay on top of those Bitmain ones.
It is just crazy to expect people will give you the machine for the same price or close to it. It doesn't makes sense at all. I would prefer to just mine and forget about. But I am not here for teach about math and reality. Do not contact me if you expect me to give you a gift. But if you understand how businesses work here I am.
$3,000 each with Power supply included, and if you have some machines for a better price contact me as well, I will buy them all.
