been looking at an "in" to get started, this s9i seems like a decent deal to get started with.
please tell me if i am wrong, i've been searching and reading but was waiting for a good situation to get started. i have low power costs so that should be alright even with difficulty increase

No, I mean the power consumption savings were something like 10-20 Watts only. If I remember right.
most s-9 did .11 at the wall
so a 14th used 1540 watts at the wall
very few of the 30+ s-9's i have had did 0.098 at the wall.
here is a link to L3+ software issued by jestanop
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitmain-l3-voltage-control-toolfree-3546316
@ mods this is very important to not delete it shows that voltage can be adjusted and power savings of 5 to 20% can be done.
So most likely the s9i is using software like this.
It also means if you have s9's you may be able to reduce the power they use.
I also suspect bitmain will not release the s-11 until Nov or Dec.
as this gear buries prices on both canaan and Halong.

The S9i is only slightly better in terms of the power efficiency than the S9.
Yes 1300W instead of 1400W for the 14TH. Disappointed.
I expected a 20 TH/S for 1000W

So the 'new' S9is are just rebranded S9s and nothing more just like what happened with the S7 -> V9 but with no major changes except for the name unlike the V9? I'm taking a quick scan through specs and it seems just about the same. Perhaps chips were tweaked to provide better power efficiency a bit or something of the sort?

100% sure about that, new miner coming soon. Received a note from a wechat Chinese reseller with 5000 pieces for each S9i 13th, 13.5th and 14th, total 15000 units for grab.
U sure about this? Do they do this in the past before a miner comes out? I hope it isnt true
yes i can send you the original jpeg file with those 15k miners available and ready for delivery b4 20th May. High chance they are getting rid of refurbished units from their farm and already have higher specs miner to replace them. maybe we can keep a close watch on the global hash rates to confirm
I have been thinking this as well. Ever since the T9+ showed up it has felt like a fire sale ever since.
Antpool hashrate went up quite a bit past 2 weeks with at least 500ph added to it. Assume new miner is 28th per unit, 500ph = 500,000th/28th, about 17.8k miner added, and reseller has 15000 S9i to clear off. If you look at antpool hash rate graph on the 5th of May and 6th of May, a sudden change of 600ph in one day. maybe unplugging old miners and install new one. Just a wild guess.

Bitmain now listing the s9 as s9i on the site with lower price. Anyone know what the difference is?

Anyone thinking/feeling next gen btc antminer coming out soon? I read that's what they did last time when they released the s9 (dumped the older versions with coupons)
May 07, 2018, 01:19:29 AM
It is cheaper now. I guess this means competitor cant compete anymore. I saw this coming lol.
May 07, 2018, 01:03:03 AM
S9i is onsale now, cheaper capital per TH/s versus previous S9. Plus slightly more power efficient.
May 07, 2018, 12:41:30 AM
Great fucking job Bitmain! Ordered 20 more S9s, 3 were DOA. Great fucking job as usual!

How long has the RMA repair process been lately at Hong Kong worldwide repail facility? I have few S9s with dead hashboards, but I am not too eager to ship the entire units for extended period of time.
From the date they arrive in Hong Kong address, that should take additional 10-15 working days before they ship repaired board / replacement.
