Topic: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order - page 208. (Read 531173 times)

This guy has been using the same pics and text since August at least.
Always dormant accounts with high positive feedback.
I have gotten eBay to shut down about ten of these auctions.
Sometimes they are slow so I'm sure people provide the bitcoin.
They have a stack of hacked accounts. Seems unlimited.

ur right there is always a risk but when buying on paypal your always protected from sellers that dont ship or send you something you didnt order so at least the people that risk purchasing it wont get screwed out of their money.

It's price sounds good but you are right, it mean's bye of your money. Also there is another chanse that maybe that antminers are used and that's the reason of low price. But to buy used antminer, it's risk always, even it's risk when you buy new and original. So it's always better to buy directly from bitmain and also once I bought it from aliexpress and I wasn't dissapointed,

hi, initially the miner was doing 12.6, and now it does 1 TH less. is this normal?

thanks for the input

also, where can i try different firmwares? this is the last batch of antminers, and it has the latest autofrequency firmware.

Hi numnuts,

While I agree with most of what you have been proselytising regarding miner conditions the fact remains that you were wrong so it seems on the S9 temperatures.  They like to run warm as evidenced by the autotune firmwares released by Bitmain that slow the fan speed to get the chip temps us.

S9 eBay hacker is at it again.
$1500 for s9 and psu and free shipping bitcoin only
Does it every weekend on hacked accounts for three days.
Be careful
If it is too good to be true bye bye bitcoin

when the internet went down at my dc 2 times ( one due to the main switch/hub dieing , and once due to isp issues ) all of my miners just start beeping and sit idle.
it takes about 1-3 minutes from the they loose connection till they start beeping and go idle .


u shoudlnt have to go threw all that as the miners should stop mining if they get to hot anyways

Will Antminer S9's just stop mining if the internet goes down?

I want to set up a temp switch that just shuts off the ethernet switch if the temp gets too warm.

Would this harm the S9's?

idk y i have to do this but i do....i like how u quoted only part of what i said and left the last part out. just wo we are perfectly clear here is the ENTIRE comment i made:

"its not so much related to certain batches. its more related to how alot of people chose to run their miner which was outside in the heat of summer and or in a tiny room at over 90 degrees room temp lol. usually if you run them under the proper conditions you will be fine. i havent had a miner die yet *knock on wood* but some miners just fail for no good reason other than stuff failed....it happens. but the ones being abused dont fall under this category."

if you check out the second to last sentence i stated "some miners just fail for no good reason". i believe that applies most to your situation.. the first part of my comment hasnt changed though. if you look at most of the complaints about their miners not working anymore you will notice alot of them arent run in the ideal conditions. im not talkin the most perfect of conditions either...there is always wiggle room but i think even the people running the miners in these conditions can agree that they just shouldnt be run that way. we have people running them in sheds and barns outside exposed to moisture and humidity and some people have posted pics of miners caked not in fine black dust but what looks like a clogged bathtub drains worth of hair and leaves and other junk and then they come here actin like they had no idea this wasnt the right way to use their machines lol.

now im sorry yours failed. if you were in fact running them properly like you said you were then it sucks that they died and i feel for you i really do. but to say what i just said isnt true at all either means udk what ur talkin about or you havent read through the almost 150 pages of comments like i have. if you had done this you would have seen the arguments being made to justify running a miner in ambient temps of what can only be compared to as a hot ass California day and thats not including the ones where they were run outside in sheds or barns lol.  with such densely packed miners like this simply saying "i could do it before" doesnt really apply. they need to be used in controlled environments at least to a certain point.

now running them outside now isnt a good idea but even i will admit its not nearly as bad as running them outside in the summertime. there is still wear and tear being added to the miners but the temps are much lower so at least they dont run as hot anymore but its still not the ideal condition and never will be.

let it run, it will hook up. if it is a batch 17 or later, it is going through checks and balances.

ive got a customers s9 in my datacenter that stopped hashing what i noticed is on the system tab , under overview were it says kernal info its saying socket error refused to connect or something to that extent ( should have taken a screen shot ) anyways the miner is not hashing and is not showing a red light.
i rember seeing something about this issue in this thread somewere but i cant seem to find it now


any idea on what i need to do to fix this , so far a reboot has not helped

I don't think this is true at all. My boards failed in a datacenter and most of the other people who reported failures are reputable miners using no different setups than they did for their S7 or A6 miners.

Its happened in most of the batches up till the most recent ones so far, failures of entire boards, needing replacement or fixing by the manufacturer or their agents (bitmainwarranty). USually it happens within the first few weeks of ownership, or if you are really unlucky on day 91 (1 day outside warranty)

I wonder if the autotune firmware would freak out if you pulled the PWM line and ran the fans at 100%?

its not so much related to certain batches. its more related to how alot of people chose to run their miner which was outside in the heat of summer and or in a tiny room at over 90 degrees room temp lol. usually if you run them under the proper conditions you will be fine. i havent had a miner die yet *knock on wood* but some miners just fail for no good reason other than stuff failed....it happens. but the ones being abused dont fall under this category.

im just glad bitmain came to their senses on the price of the 12th model....they jacked that price up so high even after btc prices dropped by $50. it was clear that it was a price hike based on total greed. i have a bunch of s7's i need to upgrade but the room those run in cant have the fans whirlin up and down up and down every second like the new batches do so i cant really upgrade them unfortunately....unless i wanna pay out the butthole for avalons 6th/s miner which i deff dont at those prices.

If you can ship it cheaper to Ukraine in a very good protected packaging.  (5-6 times bubble wrap and place in a big box with enough bubbles or popcorns)

it can be diagnosed for repair and it can be returned to you

Please email request to [email protected]   you will be assigned a ticket number for the repair request case!

Chain 2 wise, it is not missing, data port you are connected to is 1 3 and 4

hash rate wise, may have to try power it off. then power it back on.  if that did not fix it, please try the newest firmware November 8.  (if your firmware version has fan control, this will take that option away)

One option is to reset the current firmware on your S9 first, before attempt any firmware upgrade to the newer version.

bitmainwarranty said they have places in other countries too if I understood him correctly.  Email them and see.  I thought he said they had a place in the Ukraine.

Hi guys,

I was hoping it would not happen to me, but I got a broken S9 blade.
Shows up only 16 asics and will not mine, using another port on the controller, same problem with the board on the other ports.
However I do not have warranty any more, I still would this board get repaired.
I know about Bitmainwarranty but it is the US, is there a repair service in the EU?
Some here have (too bad) maybe good experience shipping for repair...

I just ordered my first S9 today, but with all the reliability issues i've read about since I am now a little worried.

Wouldn't it be in Bitmain's best interest to fix all of the simple issues rather than have to spend time and money on customer support and repairs? I mean, is Bitmain profiting off these repairs and warranties?? Seems like they must be if reliability is as big a concern as it appears.   

ROFL, If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all...
