What is the ave daily payout on Hashnest S9.  

About 0.005BTC / day after fees, a bit less in the past days due to bad pool luck.

Thank You very much for the information.  That is about 40% less than mining on my own with a value of about $10.00 per miner.  

...i don't know, but calc show $9.27/day for a 13.5Th/s miner, BEFORE COSTS.
Maybe yours are 14Th?
0.005 (currently about $6.29) is AFTER cost on hashnest, unless i misunderstood.
Not super good, but not bad either (probably 7-8c/kw equivalent in power costs).

Correct, Hashnest charges a 7c/kwh and the 0.005BTC is after the costs.
It is decent and you won't have any issues with the S9 miners yourself this way Smiley You just get paid out according to the hashrate you purchased.

Oops!  Biodom, you are correct.  I see that the $6.36 is pretty good as a net.  Thanks for correcting me on that one.

Those are in ok limits but your ambient temp is freakin' high!  Shocked

Underclocking and/or Undervolting may help. Has anybody worked out how to achieve this with the "autotune" firmware? It seems that every chip gets its own custom frequency setting now. If the lowest frequency from the search file is used per board that would be a good start?

hello everyone, i have the next question.


is profitable buy an s9 antminer nowadays ?


thanks

The short answer is NO, it is unlikely that you will be able to recoup more BTC from mining than you spend buying the miner (especially after paying operating costs), but lot's of factors and assumptions come into play, without which it is difficult to give a comprehensive answer. The most important factors are: 1) How much do you expect difficulty to increase over the next months and 2) what is your cost of electricity?

Other factors which may affect your decision: Expected price increases in BTC rate, need for "virgin" coins, AML/KYC considerations, learning, local financial limitations, etc.

But no, it is probably NOT profitable. At this point you may be better off just buying the coins. Ultimately you need to make up your own mind.

Guys, Please check if this is normal for an S9 13.5th. Is the temp normal? is the Frequency normal? Is the fan speed normal? (I think its running at full speed). Its running in an ambient temp of 29degrees Celsius (at night). What if it run in the afternoon at 37Degrees Celcius? Do I need to worry?

@bitmain please check.

Bitcoin FTW!
Did not get a coupon.  As the Donald would say sad. So sad.


@ bitmain


so purchasing 7 s-9's

and buying  2 r-4's


of which

1 dead board for the r-4's

6 dead boards for the s-9's

1 or 2 dead controller for the s-9's

means no coupons

total of  25.038 btc

plus  about 600 in repairs sent to bitmainwarranty

and not a single coupon.



Damn....out of 4 AMD 380's,none are faulty......

Out of 1 AMD 390,not faulty......



out of 95 video card purchased for the last 11 months 100% good.

out of 30 mobos 27 good  well 28 2 doa  1 shorted after 6 months .

out 30 cpus 1 bad  first intel to ever die on me I have installed 100's

every hdd and or ssd good.   yeah the gpu gear is way better then the s9 or r4 gear.

every ram stick works

I think 1 melted 2 melted risers

every psu used since april 2016 is still good.

With GPUs the only part that usually fails is the fans. Those are the highest point of failure.
And melting wires from risers and modular PSU pins.

Also box fans fail also for your rigs. But its usually $20 and they last 2 years or so. Generally they werent designed for 24 hours a day of use.
Box fans are pretty cheap though and they do the job for a long time if you get a good one. For the cost a year or two is great, fans on GPUs and burnt cables and connectors are a pain in the ass compared to box fans. Some GPU fans are easy to replace but others are more difficult to replace.

Yes if it works and you have cheap power say 6 cents or less

No if it breaks.  And the,s9 has been know to break.

Maybe. If it works and your power cost is say 9 cents.

If your power is 12 or more cents no


Other cases of yes no and maybe are possible

You need to do your own calculations based on your costs (electricity etc.).

Also there is already lots of info here at the forum because everything has been asked like 100 times.

Update: These miners are real putas - at least software wise! The hardware seems ok sofar, although the forum may tell a different story.

So, the miner freaks out if a hashboard is not powered, but has its data cable connected!

single-board-test takes a full hour to test each asic's best config (voltage and frequency) after a hard reset - (tail -F /tmp/search). Once that is completed it launches bmminer. But if a board is not powered up (but data cable connected) it reads 0 asics, and instead of just getting on with it, it does nothing (as far as i can tell). single-board-test is running but not doing anything. Once the data cable is diconnected it does not detect the missing hashboard and happily mines away with 2 boards. Quirky.

In the beginning (before the hard reset) the miner would happily hash away with two boards AND the data cable connected...Huh

Can anybody confirm one or the other behavior? Thanks!

Starting bmminer manually with a data cable connected but board not powered up causes bmminer to search for the board and eventually reboot - not sure which script does the reboot yet.

I use old PC mobo's,ram,HDD's & CPU's.No failures & if they did fail,no loss as they were free  Grin

Only things I buy new are GPU's & PSU's,again no failures,most my PSU's are from early ASIC mining back in 2012,so they have been tested pretty well  Cool

Those Baikal Miners seem very legit, I'm just having a hard time finding a legit place to purchase them.

Buy from them directly. http://www.baikalminer.com/

There is also a group buy thread in the altcoin section.

I don't know if it's just me or not but their website is very broken. Doesn't display prices, can't order, loads slow, etc.
