Automatic reboot on ASIC failure or low hashrate would be useful as well. It has been my experience that quite a few S9 models shut down hashboards for inexplicable reasons, and they do not return until manually rebooted.

Also, do you folks have any means of direct contact? Who is working on this exactly? I would like to send an inquiry but your new accounts are not accepting messages.

This has also happened to me.

Sure, at $7,800 BTC. So when BTC price goes up to new ATH, you effectively made 4 times what you thot was $8 now.

mining has been something i have been curious about for a long time. how many bitcoins can i mine with this each month?

Go to http://whattomine.com/ and hit the ASIC tab. SHA-256 should have 13500 and 1200W. Click calculate. It will give you a current rate of revenue.
I love this community. thank you for the reply man. It was a very good website to use for calculations of mining. Now I am going to read up on mining!!

No problem! I hope you find mining as fun and profitable as I have Smiley Good luck!

Hi,
I offer you 1600,-$ a pcs, since this is the correct pricing at the moment.
1720,-$ With PSU pr pcs.
I will arrange Pick-up with TNT.
Please send a picture with your username at Bitcoin Talk with the miners....Safety :-)

Just curious, where are you getting $1,720 from? Bitmain's March batch price for S9 alone was $2,320. They sold out immediately and the buyer pays shipping and customs. If you're buying on this site, you are probably getting same day shipping.
Yes...that was then...this is now. Metrics are drastically different. 1- those buyers made a very foolish purchase. 2- these units are down to $10.00 per day. I have bought many S9's over the years and never paid more than $1500 when the metrics were as they are now. Many of those at $1250.00. Things change very quickly in this world. There is about to be a Sea of these units entering the market. Most of those selling them, paid way too much for the units. In the very near future S9's will be selling for $1200.00 per unit no PSU. There are 3 products on the Bitmain page right now for sale that have been there for days. 1 is the L3+. 3 weeks ago you could sell an L3+ in this forum for $4500.00 very quickly. Today....not so much.  

I must respectfully disagree with your opinion. And here's why. It is a known fact that Bitmain oversold their D3 product. People were seeing upwards of $300/day profit while there was hype around the release. By the time the last D3's were delivered, the profit was lower than $2/day. What did people do? They started panic selling their D3s on the internet, for as low as $500. The fear in the market was so bad, some guy posted a video of throwing his D3 to a fire. What has happened to the D3 profitability since then? It has come up (albeit a little relatively), and return on investment is still in sight. And if you bought in for $500, my guess is that you're going to make a pretty penny off of someone else's fear. But, you cannot make a ROI if you get scared and cut off your miners based on current metrics. Manufacturers know when a market is oversaturated and will not produce more if it cuts into their own profits. Historically, my ASIC miners have always returned a profit. I expect that to be no different. What I do know is that with fiat pullbacks in the market, other miners get out every time and coin revenue shoots higher. I agree that basing your purchasing decisions on current HIGH USD profitability of ASICs is dumb because that is when the manufacturers known the most demand is available. Because of that common sentiment, Bitmain cannot sell S9s when USD profitability is low. It is a cyclical market. If you are a cryptocurrency bull, then you buy miners when there is a pullback in fiat value knowing that your coin revenue will be higher. And a justification for a lower price point on an S9 by saying "oh look where the current metrics are," would be just as foolish for a seller to believe as a buyer that buys when profitability is high. I believe that if you buy an S9 right now while the market is pulling back at FMV and next day shipping, your numbers are going to look fantastic in 6 months. Buying at 40% off FMV is taking advantage of someone else's fear and the buyer is the one that is doing the scamming. A seller could easily make that money back if they have the infrastructure to run it. Just my 2satoshis.

Can you please clarify what " buyout price " means? Are you saying if I take them all it is for $2,500.00 per set? I am in Texas (Houston). I would just pick up at the right price.

Yes, that's right. $2,500 per set if you buy them all. Also, you are close enough where we could do a meetup if you wanted. The sets are in Louisiana. Let me know

If you could work with me on the price a little bit I would take them all and cover shipping costs via UPS.

Check PM

[Sold] 6x S9 with PSU/$3,000 shipped/Escrow accepted/Buyout price ($2,500 each)!
by

on 31/01/2018, 16:22:41 UTC
Item: 1 sealed S9 with an APW3++ PSU.
Quantity: 6
Price: $3,000 PayPal each or BCH equivalent
Deal: Buyout at 16.67% discount! ($2,500/set)
Courtesy: Ask for power cord(s) and I will supply it free of charge (US Only)
Shipping: Contiguous US only, UPS, FOB Shipping

All costs delivering the package is provided for by seller including: Shipping & Insurance Costs, Tx Fee, Escrow Fee

Escrow options I'm okay with using:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1938190 - CET (Crypto Escrow Team)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102721.0 - Sebastian Ju
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18321 - OgNasty

Update 1: 1 Sold. 5 Available for sale. BCH Price is tagged to USD value.

Therefore, the remaining price is $3,000 x 5 sets (S9 & APW3++) / $1,277/BCH (current price) = 11.74628 BCH for 5 sets.

The buyout deal remains in place at 16.67% ($2,500/S9 & APW3++).

Currently, the discounted buyout price is 9.78857. Savings of 1.95771 BCH.

Update 2: Buy at fixed price of 2 BCH each this weekend only. Expires 2/5/18

Why am I selling?

I hired a contractor to finish a room for me, which was supposed to be done well in time before I received the S9s. We are now a month after I received the miners with no end in sight and I still cannot put them to work Undecided. I will probably buy more whenever the room is finished, but thought maybe someone else could enjoy the profits until then.

PM if interested!

The proponents of Bitcoin Gold talk about getting back to the core value of bitcoin: Decentralize, but they are implementing a premine for 16,000 blocks. What's up with that? Otherwise, I'm interested in the project.

Re: Bitmain looks like they're releasing a 15GH/s DASH miner called the AntMiner D3
by

Alibaba and aliexpress are very good e-commerce site.

Maybe bitmain just host their server in alibaba data centre?

if bitmain sell through alibaba/aliexpress , i believe it will be smooth as they are comparable to amazon and ebay.

If I can suggest to Bitmain, maybe they should channel the order through amazon store , ... what do you think ?

Well its a conflict of interest, as alibaba is a reseller, but they're the wolves who decide what sheep buy cheap and sell high. ( note I'm  a miner, an end user )

This is clearly a conflict of interest.

There is NO doubt in my mind that all incoming orders to alibaba that were not 'pre-covered' with an alibaba voucher were /dev/nulled to the old bit bucket in the sky, aka connection dropped for being an english order.

Now ALIBABA is the largest webstore on earth, given that they're handling all orders ( shop.bitmain.com ) and fullfillment/payment ( passport.bitmain.com ), I highly doubt that ALIBABA servers were INCAPABLE of handling a few thousand geeks trying to get new miners.

It's clear as shit here that this SALE was a fraud, my browser clearly said "We cannot deliver product to CHINA using english site", that was the first message I got when I got my cart through "2+2=?" at 10:05, I never got past that problem, as my order was to THAILAND. Clearly the alibaba site was setup to block and drop all 'english site' orders.

Next time I will order from the chinese version of bitmain.com and I will make sure to set myself up as an alibaba reseller in advance and get "VOUCHER" so my order can go through.

In the meantime  the question begs to be asked, "HOW LONG WILL PEOPLE PUT UP WITH THIS BLATANT DISCRIMINATION AND BULLSHIT?

Please update us on this when the next batch releases. I'm sure many of us would like to know if this turns out to be the case. And I hope it works out for you! Bitmain a bunch of bastards.

I'm guessing only relatively local orders were taken. US customers probably all got screwed.
