Also I'd love an option to go with no warranty and 10% off the purchase price. Would be way better since their warranty is almost useless due to the shipping costs and difficulties.

this would just incentivize them to move the worst performing machines into that category.
expect the unexpected.

I did not know these latest S9s on the Bitmain site had a 180 day warranty...did I read this right?

Quote

1. A 180-day warranty is provided starting from the shipping date.

You read that right! In fact, all miners sold since OCT 2016 have the 180day warranty - it's hiding somewhere on their site...

Haha! That's what I get for not buying S9s any more! Grin

Here it is, under warranty for S9 purchase: "1. A 180-day warranty is provided starting from the shipping date. To avail this warranty a repair ticket must be generated by the customer on Bitmain's website. Overclocking the miner will void the warranty immediately."

Funny, the new FW's don't let you OC the S9's anymore, right? Huh

You might be able to put on the pre autotune firmware, and then load the pic firmware from a pre autotune hash board, thus allowing full control over fans and mhz.

Not sure why you would want to, but you theoretically could.

Anybody knows where can I buy replacement fans? Bitmain page is sold until after Chinese New year.

For one, check Bitmain Warranty in CO. http://bitmainwarranty.com/ They carry them and being the USA they are open right now.

Thanks man.

Anybody else had problems with defective fans? I have a new miner that overheats. All I can see is one of the fans won't run above 1900 rpm.

Could it be some other problem besides the fan?

If you used Bitmains backup/restore functions in the GUI they only backup/restore your current settings and pool info. It does NOT make a backup of the firmware.

Which brings us to resetting the miner. That only resets settings including pool info back to Factory mode -- it does not restore the as-shipped firmware. AFAIK anytime you flash the firmware the previous version is gone for good.

The latest firmware is awful.

I agree, flashed back to the old. Which one is working best for people???

-----------------:
I'm responding to cause your post stated you flashed back hope you can help 😭

Hi question on that flashing back. Got an R4, the firmware it came with allowed me to adjust the fan speed but not the freq, then I upgraded it to the newest ver that has auto adj freq and no fan adj. so I tried to flash it back to the original as i backed up and saved the original firmware and tried to reflash to that one . when finished it tells me "Tue Nov 29 06:13:18 EST 2016" . and there's no fan adj. tried to reset back to original setting with holding the reset button in for 15 sec it's next to the ethernet connector and still nothing.. any ideas? or is there someplace I can download the firmwares for antminers?

Currently working with 7 R4's and 5 S9's. heating the house to 81 degrees all day lol and it's 30 out 😀

Thanks so much in advance

Basically you have tied up your money for at least 4 weeks while you cannot hash.

Fixed.

Yup, totally aware...

I never "play" or "invest" (whatever you want to call it) with money I'm not willing to tie-up / lose.

Same here. Order has been confirmed / marked as PAID on Bitmain side.

Fingers crossed they get them shipped ASAP!

Depends whether you think shipping in a months time is ASAP enough for you.

You did read the announcement, and the part of the page where you ordered that says "Shipping starts 20 February on a first-order-first-ship basis." right?

Basically they've tied up your money for at least 4 weeks while you cannot hash.

what if BTC get up to 1500$ before 20Feb

Then we lose out on this purchase ;-)

FWIW: I received the "BITMAIN Order Paid" email about 5h after receiving the "BITMAIN Order Details". Looks like the 13.5TH miners are sold out now. 13TH miners are still available.

Hello fellow miners. Just got into mining myself recently and took the dive on my first S9 today. I placed the order, received the email from Bitmain, sent my BTC to the address they specified, but my order is still showing as "unpaid" with 0 BTC confirmed.

Could this be due to the Chinese New Year? What has your experience been with Bitmain in this regards? FYI, I did submit a sales tickets already, but auto-gen email said they are closed until Feb 1 - so I'm asking "the pros" here.

Thanks for the info!

-Newb Grin

Also just pulled the trigger on an 13.5TH miner... and hoping for the best!

Bitmains ordering system sucks. It needs to update to reflect the status even if all the confirmations are not there yet. The process of timing out and leaving you to wonder what happened really is not a good customer experience. They need to update this order processing to provide some feedback besides letting the order time out.
