Payment submitted on the morning of the 23rd. They told me it would take 2-3 days to confirm payment. I have supplied 4 confirmations of confirmed payment to their wallet with 322 network confirmations that they are holding the BTC. Asked for an update on shipping date - they have not answered as they say they can't confirm the payment that blockcypher shows in their account. It's about $15,000.

As of today their website says "Next Batch Coming Soon!"

As of right now, they have $15,000 of my USD (1.7~BTC) for a week with no updates and according to their website - no product to ship.

Innosilicon representative on the board asked me to PM them - but their permission to be PM'd was turned off. They have not contacted me directly.

Will provide updates as I get them.

Hope it all works out for you man, this is a tough situation. I hope Innosilicon understands that people are watching how they treat their customers in this batch quite closely. If they ever want to make it in this business, they'd best be aware of that.

If you read the email and everything on the Bitmain site you will notice they DO NOT have ANY official resellers.

The only official way to buy their products is via the website.

You don't think they have resellers that buy from them in bulk? Official or not, those relationships most likely exist. That's just good business.

Seems more like damage control from Bitmain.  I'm sure they want to get rid of their S9 and other lower efficiency sha256 miners without having to worry about potential buyers being scared off by the coming wave of difficulty increases.  They also don't want to be viewed as giving preferential treatment of promising large orders to insiders while limiting others to a single unit per order.  

I think by the end of the year many of us will be mining with S11 Antminers.  We'll see how accurate that belief is soon.

Think you're right and it's also likely that the reseller posts are indeed scams. No Bitmain reseller would risk their relationship by doing something stupid like this.

I get what all the fuss is about for the BTC, LTC exchange rate being off or in favor of Innosilicon buy a few hundred bucks. That does feel as if we're being penalized for paying in crypto, a little ironic for a crypto ASIC manufacturer. We do have the option to pay USD via Bank Transfer to get the exact value listed which is what I did. I suppose some will have to sell some coins and transfer into fiat but that is an option. Hopefully, Innosilicon can implement a current value tracker of BTC and LTC in the near future.  

I'm interested in what the "Now Offering Discount" is that is handled by the Marketing/Sales Team for the D9? Is this a coupon? Earlier Ship Date? A bonus MINER!?! wishful thinking.  Grin

I've had all my emails answered within their business hours in China, pretty happy with the Support so far. Thanks Innosilicon! Looking forward to my D9, please don't let us down with the ship date!!

As you've seen, many have noticed the obvious Specs inline with Halong's B52 and B29 and your S11 and D9. Can you shed some light on the topic? Are you partners with Halong, if so who's manufacturing? Are these miners using Samsung 10nm chips?

Can we expect any of these questions to be answered, please!?

If not, I revert back to my original question, what's the "Now Offering Discount" mean?

Everyone and their mother knows this. Just haven't heard either company admit this publicly.

Hello,

D9 used to sell for 10800 USD. And now you can get one D9 with 6800 USD. This is big discount. Grin



Did you just admit that the D9 and Halong Mining's B29 are the same thing?

They are the same thing.

Everyone and their mother knows this. Just haven't hear either company admit it publicly.

I  did a screen shot price for 1 miner  S11 and shipping to usa

coinbase price right now is 8922   so .446 x 8922 =  3979 usd  you are off by more then 200 usd in your favor.

I can guarantee it is always off in your favor as I check it 1 time every hour for days now and it is always 100 to 350 usd in your favor.


As it should be about 3500 + 120 to ship or 3620 usd .  It has never been this price. On 3 different exchanges  all the times I checked.

I don't mind the extra 100 to 350 overcharge I mind you hide it.

You have done it for years.

Why not simply say BTC rates and LTC rates are Slightly  higher due to exchange costs.
The no one would complain.
I have purchased 300,000 in gear since 2012 I have never purchased a single item from you  because you do this.
I own a dragon mint b52 which is the same as your s11 it is a fine miner I would buy the s11 from you if you were transparent  about exchange rates you are not.
To all  the S11 is good gear well at least my B52 is good.

Hello Thanks a lot for your feedback.

The exchange rate maybe a little higher because of the unstable price of BTC.
Since we are unable to track the highly variable BTC valuation, we have no choice but to provide a BTC valuation that is on the lower end of this range. We recognize that this does not provide a good deal using this currency when the BTC valuation moves higher, however we also accept USD, which is a much more stable currency for us. Our recommendation is that you make your purchases in USD if you can't time your purchases to a low BTC valuation.

Thank you.

holy crap did you just copy and paste that response from the previous page? jesus you guys really keep shooting yourselves in the foot
