I think the z9's 1st batch will start shipping this weekend. From what I gathered in the way they said delayed when I kept asking that's what I got out of it. Either Saturday or Monday it will start shipping. Just a heads up for everyone. Pretty useless now anyways I almost could care less when it ships. It's delayed, they failed, they fucked all of us. Whatever we all lost money now. lol

Hope you're right regarding the ship time.

As for the profitability, I'm hoping that the reports of the batch 2/3 minis not overclocking well are due to binning of the chips that are going into the batch 1 biggies (sorry batch 2/3 mini buyers), allowing the biggie to be overclocked to 55-60 ksol/sec. If not, will be a long(er) road to ROI

I'm not one to immediately bash a company but in this case I'm frustrated by Bitmain's business practice and ethics. Batch 1 buyers paid $3319 for a 10 day competitive advantage in difficulty compared to the batch 2 buyers (who paid ~$3184 I believe) and are completely losing that. I think the ethical thing to do would be to refund the difference in cost between batch 1 and 2 and ship them all out at the same time. Always a gamble with new releases I suppose
