S9s are available.

Pay with bcc/bch only

That sucks, man they are a manipulative company. Stocking their coffers with an alt currency in hopes it will rise like BTC.

Apparently it's not well known that they are the main reason BCH exists. That's why they are backing it, it's their doing that it exists!

EDIT: I thought that's what I'd read at least, however I'm having a hard time finding documentation backing that. Therefore I may be mistaken.

Jihan Wu and Roger Ver are the reason BCash exists. It was their attempt to wrest codebase control away from Bitcoin Core, who in my opinion, has been doing a good job keeping Bitcoin safe since 2009. Yes, Core needs to work a little faster to find better scaling solutions. But, they follow a strict software development methodology and they work hard to get consensus from users and miners before making a major change. I think these hard forks suck, and they take credibility away from Bitcoin. This latest fork, Segwit2x, is Barry Silbert and Jeff Garzik's half baked attempt at a scaling solution. It hasn't been through the rigorous testing process which Core uses. Also, ironically, Jeff G just declared he is launching a competing coin (an ICO). That is laughable. Right when he should have been completely dedicated to Segwit2x, he announces a competing coin. I hope this pool sticks with Bitcoin Core support as much as possible. Also, run a Bitcoin Core node if you can in order to support the network. This is a great tutorial if you are interested: https://99bitcoins.com/step-by-step-guide-firing-up-bitcoin-node/ Or, you can Google "Bitseed" and buy one of their dedicated nodes which you just plug into your router.
