As noted above, BITMAIN has issued $300 coupons for S9 purchases. I have 2x of these that I will more than likely not be using.

Anyone looking to make a purchase in this batch, I'd be willing to transfer them for a fair price. Private message me - US located.

you know that you got machine(s) from the worse batches if you got a fat coupon like this.
I would sell the coupon and keep the cash for a repair that might (or might not) happen.

I think they just understood that the price they set for their latest batch was way too high. Their new price is more appropriate.

what is the new price of new batch ?

Wow, if they're doing that for the some of the S9 batches they for sure need to look into doing the same for the R4's... Tongue

I agree ;DR4's have been a lot more defective than S9's

Just received a $300 coupon from Bitmain. Have not had one of these since March of last year.

Dear customer,
Thank you for your recent Bitmain purchase.
We have decided to offer a $300 coupon exclusively to buyers of certain Antminer S9 batches as a token of gratitude.
The batch that you purchased is among them.
You can view this coupon by logging into your Bitmain account. The number of coupons you would have received correspond to the number of S9 miners you purchased from the selected batches.
These coupons will be valid until 30th April 2017.
Please note that the number of coupons that can be applied to one order cannot exceed the number of Antminer S9 units in that order.
For example, an order consisting of 1 unit of Antminer S9 can have a maximum of 1 coupon applied to it and an order of 10 units of Antminer S9 can have a maximum of 10 coupons applied to it.
If you have additional concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Do you know the price of newly ordered S9 units, in their site it says out of stock. Do they make and discount?

BTC.COM (also Bitmain owned) is 0% fee and pays transaction fees. They call it "subsidy." No guarantee how long it will last. Plus it's PPS.

That sounds like the best payout/lowest risk pool out there. I'm on Kano. I may point my new S9 to BTC.com, but I really prefer to stay outside the Great Firewall.

That's my thinking. There is no other pool I know of the has 0 fee for PPS. And getting the fees on top of that is real nice.

EDIT - And they are merge mining Namecoin too.

be VERY careful with PPS pools that dont take a fee.. they will eventually go broke and stop paying out. it only takes a couple of long blocks before the pps outweighs the block rewards.

I moved to BTC.com and I think they may skim some hash, but I got my first payment okay.

Make sure you are on the right server for your location. I have found that it can take as long as 24 hours to "level" on the pool when I add a miner. So check your average hash after 48 hours. It should be accurate. Assuming no miner issues.
One important change I got caught up in - if you change your mining address for the pool it will take 48 hours for you to get paid at the new address. I don't know if this is the same for the subsidy address or not.

backed up transactions hit 68000

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx

Have been waiting 12 hours for one confirmation

I have raised my fees, but once waited 5 days before finally using a website to advance it. Even at 0.0003350 per tx fee, it's taking about an hour.

It's rough right now, confirmations taking forever.

We're nearly at 70000 now. Best you can do is use your own node or increase fees or wait till this is all over. Horrible time for txs :/

Evil beware: We have waffles!

On a different note:
Today I got a bill from Michigan Dept. of Treasury regarding 5x s7 miners I got from Bitmain in Jan-Feb 2016. Seems that when Customs gets involves (1 order was for $3,725, the other was for $3,100) and you have to pay Duty, that imported goods information is reported to your state. Now Michigan wants $409.50 out of state/internet purchase Use Tax for the miners I brought in Sad

Just another reason to stay under the Customs Duty-free limits...

Definitely ouch. Angry

Its very weird. my S9 has a AVR. but it still got burned. My pocket is hurting now.

I investigated your pictures of failed hash boards. I think the failure was outside to S9 and board is NOT DAMAGED (except connectors).

From your pictures it is clearly visible that only GND is affected. Also controller board's GND is burned. It has nothing to do with AVR or PSU, the problem is outside - check all possible things which was able to touch between PSU's case and S9's case. Carefully investigate what caused high current flow between PSU and S9 case. Maybe S9 touched something at AC mains.

Hope it will save you some money. Anyway, this failure is very specific and adding fuses to +12V will not prevent this kind of failure (since this failure is on GND line which remains unfused).

And to that I must add that the GND lines MUST remain un-fused for safety!

If is the DC return (aka GND) lines that fried then something is seriously wrong with the AC power setup. Yes placing a fuse there would save the wiring/connectors BUT once the fuses in a return line blow then the case of the miner or PSU is going be be live with the power -- possibly a lethal situation.

Query: What are the miners sitting on? A grounded metal shelf? If so, any signs of arc damage on the miner/shelf area?
