I have 2 Z9 mini's from batch one. Noise level depends on if you decide to overclock to 700 to get 15k sols, when I expect everyone with a Z9 mini is doing. When you do that, it is like a handheld vacuum cleaner running all the time. The S9 would be like a super large vacuum cleaner running all the time.

I also ordered 2 more Z9 mini's with $250 coupons. Still unshipped. Fingers crossed they get shipped soon.

can someone please tell me how lout this miner is? curious is the fact that in the mini version they write the level of noise the miner is making. i also would like to know for the z9

It's not quiet by normal standards, it's quiet for an ASIC, but if you compare it to GPU miners, this thing is loud.  I'd say that it runs about 3x louder than my 9x GPU rig due to the hi speed fans.

It's about the same audio as a server PSU running near full speed.

3 times louder? In what scale? What is your measure? dB? dBm? Have you actually measured it?

Compared to an S9, it’s super quiet.

Also ASICminer 40k and 180k are getting released im September. Earnings will drop hard I guess. Don't get me wrong, I ordered one batch 3... :/

asicminer.co is scam...

Voskcoin received one so I doubt it's a scam. Care to elaborate ?

It's still a fake until he proves it is submitting solutions from the machine. Did you not actually watch the video?

Kahooli, you really. The difficulty of ZEC has increased rapidly in recent days? ~ 18% per day ? Currently, no one has received Z9 minis batch-2 (till Aug 28), and the same thing happened with Inno, so why is the difficulty increasing so fast ?

I suppose, ASICminer is quietly mining with their miners at their own pool.

Vosk, if you read this post, please share your opinion because only you have ASICminer Zeon 180K so far   Cool
Nothing quiet about it, thats what ASIC makers do, they use your money to build thier own farms , turn your shiney new asics into useless heaters.  By the time batch 2 is finally shipped roi will be in the gpu range or lower.

same old story


I haven't seen his video, did he use a wattmeter or crack it open to look at the boards and cpu? I just saw the headline as a review, seems hard to call it a review with out doing the basic things. He probably doesn't know how to. only thing worse than a schill is a tool...

Just got a shipping notification from DHL. Should be delivered by August 28. I placed my order on June 6.

Hooray, me too! I placed a couple orders a month or so apart... and it looks like they all went in the mail about 4 hours ago.

I have 4 orders 5th June at 23:11:00
none shipped
all paid with -$250 coupon.

are they prioritising $850 buyers?
My order still shows unshipped on Bitmain’s website, however I got a shipping notification text from DHL. I placed my order on June 6 and used the $250 coupons.

Well, it appears that my driver's license isn't good enough for Bitman's new KYC requirements. Seems they really need for me to get a passport. Fuck that shit. I don't plan on leaving the country anytime soon. Not getting a passport just so that I can buy Bitmain shitminers.

Well, I tried a second time with my driver's license and it passed this time. Put in my first and middle name as given name did the trick.

I am confused because I do not see dramatic drop of daily ZEC hashing rate. Yes, it dropped but in my case only by ~15% since June

One Z9 mini takes ~350W, one GTX1080Ti in a computer ~ 250W, hashing only 770 sols/s

I still do not see any comparison with GPU mining

Vosk did bad by putting his face with that machine. Even he admits he's shilling for them and clearly states he wouldn't buy it. No poolside hash is shown. Buy z9 or an a9 with that money. 9k is a good amount of mini's.

what is the expected lifetime of such a machine when running 24/7?

I'm sure the mini will still be capable of mining long after it is no longer economically feasible to turn it on Smiley  which will probably happen sometime early next year

More like an end of October unless your electricity is low or we have bull run.

I wouldn't give out an order number, just fyi.

You're right - just order dates if you don't mind
