I made decent gains at the end of last year and tucked most it away at Vanguard. What I didn't remove from the cryptoworld i used in some day trading; over the last few days I'm at a loss of about 1/4ish the USD i kept around to trade with, the FUD did get to me (I will admit) when the market started speeding towards 11000. Overall I'm at a net gain and very happy about that but I'm still disappointed that I'm starting the year off with some losses. I have buy orders in now with a hodl mentality again and will probably spend less time trying my hand at day trading.

When selecting the miner there is an option to include psu or to not, it's a 1000usd difference

Where in south florida, I'm by the Tampa Bay area. Pricesare a little steep though for my test, 1000usd just for a psu to be included with a s9?

Then just sell and just get out of the game. I understand those who are on the bearish and want to start a discussion about speculative drops/pops and possibilities  but something tells me that's not your purpose.

Yeah, USD wire option... I'm at work at the moment so it's still in my cart. I have a screenshot on my phone but I don't know if my 'membership status' lets me upload photos yet... plus I don't to remember how to do it on a forum anyway   , but if I'm allowed I'll try to up load it when I'm off at 0700 EST. If my status doesn't grant me that option yet I can shoot an email/text to trusted community member now if it's that unusual for bitmain and needs inspection.

Ok so it's not a fluke but (I guess because of my ignorance) it makes me wonder why offer it now?

The telegram bot saved the day again, they just had an availability for s9 miners open for not even 2 minutes. I snagged one buuuttt I noticed something unusual.... they had an option for a USD wire transfer as well as a BTH payment. I picked the wire transfer out of curiosity and I gives me all the needed info needed to complete a wire transfer with a 7 day window. Is that out of the norm for them?

Your guess is as good as mine man. I forget which post I saw it on (maybe this one?) but I need to give mad props to who ever it was who posted about the bitmain notification bot on the telegram app. It posted an alert of availability at 04:12am and posted a sold out notification at 04:14am, damn thing was spot on.

Spamming refresh, got impatient, quickly got up for drink with phone in hand, then the telegram bot I downloaded a few weeks ago goes off which instantly sends me diving for the keyboard   
Screw the spilled soda on the new rug I got my order in during that 2 minute window of availability

This will be my first buy from them but their tweet did not mention any L3+'s 
And just for clarification, the are still only accepting BTH right?
