I am still trying to figure out the BITMAIN business strategy with S9s, D3s and L3s???

Sell so many that no one can make any money outside of Bitmain? Also, sell enough cheap enough to run out any other competition. I bet if Bitcoin keeps going up eventually it will interest the real big dogs to start getting into ASIC manufacturing and the tables will turn..

Today, one S9 crashed.
Ping OK
SSH OK
Web interface OK
API KO... Awesome said Disconnected.
Mining KO.

I don't know why ? I found anything...

After reboot by SSH, it restarted perfectly.

Can i check some logs ?

Hey hey,

maybe someone can help - what kind of silent-fans do work with the s9 ?
I have several fans here (max speed 2200) .. but the s9 wont start mining with them - maybe to less speed ?
SO i mounted the original airplane-turbines again to the miners .. but the noise is terrible ..

Are your fans 12v 4 pin 4 wire
The antminer wants to control its speed

Here is a reputable site to order from when Bitmain is out: www.eastshore.xyz

I just received a batch of S9s from them. I was a little nervous at first, but they came through with the product. They even emailed me about an error I had in the shipping address.

The price is not bad considering: Customs Declaration Description: computer case; Value: USD90. did u have any trouble with custom ?

No Issues what so ever; I did not get any calls/emails from the UPS or Customs.

Will be another batch for January shipment?

Most probably yes, you gotta follow their twitter channel and check the website regularly.

Is it more cost effective to buy a dedicated miner rather than setting up ur own desktop?

Is it even possible to set your won close to profitable desktop machine? I doubt for the time being; it was possible a few years ago before the ASICs came into the world.

You can still mine Bitcoin with desktops but you’re burning money for nothing. You might get a penny a year. Desktops really shine in altcoins where cpu and GPU mining can indeed be profitable, but this isn’t the bitcoin mining section after all. For possibly profitable bitcoin mining an ASC is required.

By the way, has anyone used BCH to purchase from bitmain?
It turned out that Bitfinex wallet where I got by BCH cant be used for transactions different than trading.

So I am looking for a nice BCH wallet now.

I traded BTC to BCH on Bittrex then sent it to the Bitmain wallet, no issues.

Same here, they showed on their website PAID right away.

I can agree with low quality chips thou, because i have seen a lot of topic here in last few days were people are complaining about dead boards in there, or like "bought 12, 3 is already DEAD"... Something has been very lowish quality with them then since that is happening. I only HOPE with mine everything will be alright(willing to take that risk)

Which ones did you order? And how many? I just wish they accepted USD wire for this new batch, then I might order another, but chances
are pretty slim.

I suppose they only accept BCC for this new batch

Nope, they accepted only BCC for the last 2 batches, i missed last batch for only 1 day, but not for the next one! It will be open soon.
Based on last 2 batches, i think that next one as well will be only BCC.

I havent ordered any, will order 1 when next batch is open

It could be that they're pointing a lot of power to BCH and this is a way for them to "keep the exchange rate up". Because there'll be a solid supply of people buying BCH to get the machines from Bitmain.

1415 USD for the next batch S9 in bitmain website, but as usual you cant order due to the heavy traffic towards site.
Chinese business model is so so so outdated, if they would have invested in a proper server they would sell x3 times faster, but no of course...

I just tried to open site, and it opened < 1 second, maybe you have problem with your net? And sale is still open...

Yeah site is working properly, but there is no clear way to order. Any click after "add to cart"; "view your cart" or similar leads to 404

Maybe its something about your PC? Or machine from which you are ordering? I just manage to put S9 into cart.

http://prntscr.com/h1v5g5

Yeah, as of now I managed to add to cart 2 machines and PSU.
I am just waiting to exchange BTC for BCH and confirm the payment

Good job, at least you didn't missed it like i did last one... For one day...Was waiting for release of coins from LocalBitcoins :S ... But hey! Next batch is only 10 days later, not 1-2 months.
