Yeah, I don't see this as a special miner either but rather Bitmain trying to sell off their S7s in their mining warehouses as mining becomes less profitable. Shitmain at work.
Literally everything bitmain does someone has to talk shit. I mean how dare a company sell off old stock at super cheap prices right?
I mean its 2018, when I see Ford closing out the 2017 models I guess I should hop on the internet and shit talk them for it.
Amen to this. They sell the A3 for $2400 and people bitch. Then they sell a 2nd batch for $980 and people bitch even more! Now they are selling a miner for a hundred bucks and people come out of the woodwork! I haven't checked ebay prices for awhile but late last year S7s were selling for nearly $1000. I'm sure Bitmain's poor customer serviceis mostly due to the fact that they know they can't win. Its obvious that it doesn't matter if their prices are high or low, or support is good or bad, the vocal minority will still complain. Of course they also sell out of everything so they know it really doesn't matter what people think.
They have a right to their opinion - as do you. Bitmain selling this as being "pleased to announce the
all-new #Antminer V9 #BitcoinCash #Bitcoin miner, especially designed for
long-term use in fast-growing mining operations"is being slightly misleading. But, the specs are there for all to decide. My question would be why bother releasing this inefficient miner now unless they are selling "old" not "new" board stock? All looks a little suspect to me... and that's just a IMHO comment.
Of course it's old stock that they're simply re-branding to sell easily, at least that's what would make sense, no?
