I was planning on putting in a rather large order S9's but given the price... I might have to wait and see what Avalon and Canaan is doing. Definitely not buying at this price from Bitmain.

My opinion is that they got overly excited because of the high demand the last few months- maybe the price will cool off the demand and they will come to their senses.

Why is there no manufacturer in US?:/ all of a sudden crowd funding looks like a good idea - God knows we have the brain power and resources - all we need is a good plan and financial backing.

You don't think Avalon and Canaan will follow suit? Once they see Bitmain selling S9's for this price, they will know they can too. They are in this to make money just like anyone

Classic case of supply and demand now
there is so much of demand that they have doubled the cost

This is business 101 folks.

1) Find a need a fill it (ASIC miners)
2) Price it based on supply and demand (what we are seeing today)

Someone mentioned max order of 20? Interesting if true

It will be interesting to see how long it takes until they are sold out.
