Knew this was a gamble when I ordered these. Bitmain is absolute garbage trash scum. I expected something to be wrong or lose somehow on this bet so whatever. We will probably get them like Sept 20th with everyone else in all the other batches and they will make 5zec a month lol. Joke.

bets they are actually premining with these things.

... my faith in the company has dropped significantly.

I am running 12 Z9 minis and ordered 3 Z9s under the assumption that if I doubled my hashrate at the same time the next batch of minis came online (around 9/1), I could sustain $300 or so a day for another 30 days before the next drop... Instead, I'm losing weeks of mining while they double profit: (1) the miners, (2) premining.

I don't believe they don't pre-mine.
... and then there is the 25% tariff I'm expecting to get hit with on 10kusd...

Meh.

i posted earlier the same question but i repost it here:

people say that bitmain is currently mining with the miner they are going to ship and they sell us
people also say that when the new miners are shipped, the difficulty will increase a LOT

but if bitmain is really mining with them right now, the difficulty shouldn't change, no?

what do you think?

When batch 1 shipped I expected a sharp immediate diff increase which did not happen, same with batch 2. I suspect they simply unplug a miner and ship it off and then over time replace them with new ones as they get off the assembly line. This explains why the diff increase has been gradual when new batches ship rather than an immediate sharp spike.
