I kinda miss buying s3's for $40, mining for 3-4 months then selling them for $60 and finding another for $40 to take its place....

Who knows the s-9  may be under 400 or 500 soon

here they are for 749 on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bitmain-Antminer-S9i-14T-May-batch-ship-now/132631743423?

That’s what I’m waiting for!!!
those s9 to drop below 500$ so I can buy a couple of them

The GMO 24TH miner runs at just under 2k/watts

If you are running a farm, power consumption, savings is key.

Also the new 7nm design, likely produces less heat and reduce overall cooling cost.

So overall, the new GMO miner could be a better deal overall for farms in the long term.

Warranty wise, I do hope GMO have better support.

Bitmain has notorious poor support, long RMA and failure rate.

The 92 out of 108 S9 units we purchased in June 2016 are still running now.... 16 units did survive - out of warranty and without part replacement.

The A721, A741 = total 323 units however ... every single one is still online. Best performance these Avalons.

We did however do fan replacement in older A721s and few power boards, but they are back hashing.
