Is anybody currently mining BC with an S9 right now? If so, what kind of rates you getting per unit? <3

Dear Bitcoiners,

We are launching two new batches of the Antminer S9 today.

Batch 20 and batch 21 can deliver a hashrate of 13TH/s and 13.5TH/s, respectively.

They will be available here after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT +8) today (8 November 2016).

We advise all to confirm their order while stock lasts.

Happy mining,

the Bitmain team

Looks like someone has nicehash locked up at 1.8 for 20th

yeah so point there and be paid close to double for as long as it lasts.

I tried pointing my S9's at NiceHash, but am seeing a ton of rejects (30%). The S9's are behind a Stratehm stratum-proxy.

I've tried enabling and disabling extranonce, as well as setting a reasonable difficulty. Still tons of rejects.

I posted on the NiceHash thread, but if anyone has suggestions for here for getting S9's to work well with NiceHash, I'd appreciate the info.

nicehash does not like that proxy.. your rejects are duplicates. its because your lan isnt fast enough..

you have to set the pool#1 to NH with a p= password, i use 1.4 then pool#2 is the proxy. i use the proxy for zpool cause it makes it a little more stable.

Thanks. That's exactly what I ended up doing.

Not clear what you mean by my LAN not being fast enough though. The LAN connection is gigabit, and the WAN connection is 100 MBs bidirectional. The NiceHash URL I'm using is in the next town over from the data center where my miners are. Can't get much better than that.

I doubt this is a network performance problem. That said, I'm running the proxy on an RPi, so maybe there's a performance issue there. Although I've never seen this problem on any other pool.

Does the non autotune firmware work on autotune s9's?

My understanding is no. But I haven't dared try it on any of mine.

I know what you mean.
I know it is different controller hardware. But you can use new firmware on old machines.
Just would like the fan to spin a bit faster. The old firmware with fan control would be great if it works.

Anyone have the old firmware so someone can try it?

I have it, if someone wants to try it.

Let me know how it works.

Thanks for posting this!  I think I'll hold off a bit and see if anyone else has success before stepping up to be the guinea pig.

For me, nicehash beats the hell out of s9's
Have boards failing left and right within days.
They cost too much for me to expose them to that.
I want them to run a long time. I baby the crap out of them.

Was going to point my old s7's there, they are tanks compared to s9.
Plus they are cheap now.

Not sure if it's any help but I got a ton of rejects when I set up load balance between the theee pools on my S7LN. I was told by -ck it's because they mine other sha256 type coins aswell. Which explains why the diff required kept changing by itself.

Really wish we could at least get control of the minimum fan speed...  This auto setting is too low and the fan spins up way too often.
I agree, minimum fan speed setting would be excellent.

Please Bitmain...  Let us or set a higher minimum fan speed on the autotune so that I don't have to hear the fan spin up/down constantly as it changes speeds!

Finally got them to stop.
Bought the item but they had me blocked ON A DIFFERENT NEWLY HACKED ACCOUNT!
Went to my other account and bought it.
Immediately left negative feedback like this...

SCAM! HACKED ACCOUNT! BEWARE!

Hacker then cancelled my order and ceased posting. I did call ebay about it.

Has been a long weekend (Friday included) trying to pop this joker.
THREE different hacked accounts in three days. At least 10 calls to ebay fraud department.

I'm sure they will crank back up next weekend.

Hope I saved buyers some grief/BTC.


im surprised it doesnt happen more often..
ebay doesnt offer any type of account security.
