Bitmain, Cannon and the rest build miners for one reason, to make money. Then again, every company builds things to make money. None of them have our best interest at heart, they are all in it for the money.

mining is becoming more and more difficult... profitability is going down...my farm revenue almost halved in the last 3 month.
This is what I've been saying all along since February, 2016. I bought 42 x Bitmain S7's in 2015 and sold them in February, 2016 when I saw the writing on the wall. I realized it's a hopeless effort to compete against the manufacturers of ASIC's. I've been in the game since the S1.
Many "newbies" are about to learn the hard way [Just as I did] when purchasing the new Z9. Hence, my advice given in other forums on the Z9. BITMAIN, does NOT have your best interest at heart. My opinion.

not checking bitmain website for sometime.
is this is the first batch of S9i? or did people received S9i before?
I want to know if there is any difference.
thanks.

I just got my "batch 1" S9i today. It's essentially an S9.
Seriously?? S9i = S9 ??

No difference from the s9. It certainly does NOT have AB!

So.....judging by other miner's performance increase........I guess we hit finally started to hit the efficiency wall now huh.
Oh well, here's to hoping for 0.8j/gh someday!

Seems other companies line Inno and DragonMint are releasing their numbers for 10nm units.
Anyone heard from Bitmain regarding their next generation?
Seems to be around 17TH and 1550watts for most of them though no official reviews.

Is there anything even remotely close to this performance? 3x the hash rate for the same power consumption in the same form factor as the S7...
Wow!

I just noticed they are selling the S9i, does anyone know the difference between it and the regular S9? Other than name change..lol. I'm wondering if I should buy some of those or the Avalon 841's..
Not a lot of difference other than a slight change in wattage and of course the price. I had made a thread, but it got deleted...

i have those as well.
compared to awp3++ they use a hair more power on S9.

lol which one u talking about?
May 16, 2018, 06:34:13 PM
APW3++
In my experience the APW3 pulls up to 100w more at the plug then similar higher quality PSUs
Would high quality PSUs be something like this??
It is a dell psu.

I just purchased 4 of these.
I want to judge them against
bitmain apw3++

avalon sorceror
hmmm is it worth it to do so much now considering the low profits. This should have been done from the start. Best is to have low electricity + hire someone to get custom software to undervolt + higher efficient PSU. I bet the S9 can undervolt too. We just dont know how lol. Btw, u did mention u made tons off your gpu miner. However, did u check the price of eth when u purchase the gpu and when u have broken even. It should have gone up a few times at least. I believe best would be a niche type of miner that breaks even in 2 months. Breakeven fast is important. Profitability can drop after, is fine.

fanatic26 is correct I use this one

@ sandal hat that looks to be a very good psu
If I needed some I would buy a few

Thanks fanatic26 and philipma1957! I actually have a Kill-A-Watt meter now - I just figured plugging it into a 220/240 circuit would fry it - everything I find on them says 110/120V only.
Mine does not hold measurements after removing from power. I might get one like yours philipma1957 as it says it will hold the data even after being disconnected from the power source - plus I like the screen and the price is a bit better.
Thanks again!
