Topic: Bitmain Launches the New Antminer T9 Bitcoin Miner - page 6. (Read 38825 times)
Id rather have the r4.
Well this is a T9 thread so...
I have a few spares from old s7's and cards etc, might try flashing it with S7-LN firmware and see if i can run 2 cards and make something to hold a psu on top.
Considering the s7 family uses a different ASIC chip and CPU I highly doubt the T9 will run and you very well might brick it...I was going to try and make a S7-LN from old S7 parts, not the T9.
If the twin output I/O boards were available it would be great.

i'm looking for a QUITE but high hashrate miner, S7 and S9 are to loud.
QUIET
Yes, it's quite because somebody doesn't want to buy this project and it's very long to get a profit and ROI. They almost invest money to get GPU Farms to mine ETH and DASH, ZEC... it's more profitable than ASIC Miners.
WOW, that is ALOT of Wattage! It does not make sense Hash/Watt... as compared to the S9.
You can have a power efficient miner....or you can have a reliable miner with a real chance at reaching ROI before falling apart.
I did not have such luck. I have 2x T9. One stopped working properly after a few days. After warranty repair is ok. But with S9 I had no problem. But this is a small statistics sample.
My T9's just arrived, I really hope these go better than my R4's.
What happened to your R4's; i'm looking for a QUITE but high hashrate miner, S7 and S9 are to loud.
Seems there's NOTHING out there !!
There is nothing out there that is comparably high hashrate and quiet. Can you think of any sports cars with high power that are quiet? Noise is a trade-off when needing to dissipate a lot of heat.
Check out the stick-miner threads if you want high efficiency, quiet miners.

when i see on the site, t9 its more high hashrate than s9 batch 22 and its lower than s9 batch 23 and its more power consumption than s9 and it more power efficiency than s9. i think if i have more money, i will buy t9 because the hashrate is more big than s9 and its lower price than s9. but how long we need to be wait until the payment become verified like many members complain?
How do you know what batch or view batch details ? I have looked at my invoices on Bitmain and can see no reference to batch number ?
Cheers

You can have a power efficient miner....or you can have a reliable miner with a real chance at reaching ROI before falling apart.besides, these T9s have no chance to make roi at these prices.. even with zero electricity costs you are 12-14 months away.. thats if the difficulty doesnt go up, which it will.. you are probably realistically looking at 18-22 months roi.
only one making money is bitmain.
Same was said of the s2, s3, s4, et al when they came out. I paid a helluva lot more $$ for them and guess what? All paid for themselves and more to the point, paid for upgrading/expansion. Currently bouncing around 230THs (I'm Fuzzy on Kano), all paid for from farm income...
Got a T9 on it's way as we type that will replace a s7 batch-1 I'm finally retiring. Still is running a steady trouble-free 5.3-5.6THs. Checked and see that the s7 batch-1 cost $1,823 + shipping. Despite that it was long ago paid for. Still makes money but I have a power budget to stay under while expanding the farms hash rate... Depending on how ya look at it, yesterdays 4-block run had the farm in just that one day pay for nearly 1/2 the cost of the new T9 coming which cost BTC0.996 inc UPS shipping

they can make both, they choose not to..

For most people with ten-cent electricity, it's generally not worth running anymore as the prices you can buy them at today are too high to justify buying. They're just fine if you have some right now but they'll become the next S5s in a few months. I noted once as it's possible ASICboost could give a little boost to the now older S7.
The hardware is not obsolete just because some people dont meet the requirements to run it profitably. You dont call a 2 year old car obsolete just because there are no paved roads where you live to drive it on. At $0.03 power they still profit about $58/mo after paying for power.
As far as the ASICBOOST goes does anyone know if it is even baked into the BM1385+ chip? As far as I understand the whitepaper for asicboost came out early 2016 and bitmain had been producing s7's since summer of 2015 which would lead me to believe there is nothing in the hardware of the S7 as far as ASICBOOST goes.
what i read from asicboost was that it would require hw support on both the pool and rigs. Even if they have built it into the miner chips, the pool has to support asicboost work distribution too. it would not work otherwise.

Well, so far so happy with how my 1st T9 is performing I decided to get another with the 'before April 15' ship date to upgrade the main farm.
This time will be kind of a sad occasion as I will be retiring my one of my s7b1's. That sucka has been solid as a rock for the past years holding a steady 5.3-5.5THs as reported on Kano but since I have a power budget finally time to take advantage of the T9's over 2x speed at the cost of only ~100w more power.

I'm mostly interested to know the full capabilities of the once thought to be obsolete S7.
Who said the S7s are obsolete?
