Check out the hashrate on this one! Too bad all those shares are apparently under 1k. No valid shares for 3 minutes. This is an entirely different pool than the one where this was happening in my previous post.

So they are going downhill with the quality.
I don't like all this info about problems with the autofreq models, so that's why I ordered another S9 11.85Th/s regular model from www.eastshore.xyz. This is my second order from them, first one came nicely and it is beefy one with 662Mhz OC 14.1Th/s

Just taken a look at their website. It says the "Customs Declaration" for the S9 11.85Th is $90. Did you have this with your orders HagssFIN? As that's half the problem if I were to order direct from Bitmain. Id get stung for customs duty and VAT for hundreds of pounds (GBP).

Looks like they have a fix upgrade download now.
I see it! Anyone know how to use it? The instructions are not exactly clear.
EDIT: Well I uploaded the fix package just like I would a regular firmware and I have had a spinning wheel with this ever since:
Upload firmware image ...
(please wait a minute)
Been around 10 minutes I think. I can access the gui with another computer and everything appears more or less normal from there but I don't know if it is really doing something or not. I guess I'll give it an hour or so and then try to upload another regular firmware package.
Well the fix package did allow me to update the firmware again so that's something. Meanwhile back to the same problems I had before. Notice the LSTIME number as well as the hashrate. It goes minutes without submitting a share. No way that should be happening.

Got two 13.5th today . They were on oct 25 firmware. Saw the nov 2 firmware and installed on one.
Boards ran hot, fan was at 20%. Temps were 108c. Rolled back to oct 27, temps cooler.
They do run quietly at 20% fan but those temps are too scary for me.
They still cycled the fan speed. No hwe.
Here is the link to s9 oct 27 autotune firmware

Good until 30 days no activity.

How are you doing 20% fan?

victim by victim their stories are told. On def ears they fall as the stories get old... wip but I think you all get the drift. Anymore now it's like Russian roulette. Which of us few forum users left can they put the screws too. It's a bit disheartening to see. But ehh when ya run a monopoly and there are no laws this is what you get. Hell we have laws in america and look at att recently. You think them wanting to combine with time warner and their latest acquisition of Directv is in our favor your sadly mistaken.

Unfortunately I tried upgrading firmware to today's and yesterday's and now it won't let me upgrade again. It is stuck with yesterday's firmware and it throws an error if I try and upgrade to anything else. It goes minutes at a time without submitting shares. Total piece of shit. Poolside hashrate was a joke submitting a handful of share every 5-10 minutes despite the web gui claiming it was hashing at 10k-13k.
I have reconnected my S7 for now.

I just upgraded all my 4x S9 B19 miners from Wed Oct 26 File System Version to Wed Nov 2 with no problems.
I had no problem upgrading to that one either. But when it continued to do the yo-yo hashrate I went for the Nov 1st firmware. Now I am stuck on that one, but there seems to be larger problems because it does not submit hardly any shares either. The last share time both in the GUI and on the pool side will go greater than 6 minutes. That is clearly abnormal at 10-13Th at any reasonable difficulty. Poolside diff dropped to the minimum the pool will do and it was still going many minutes between shares while claiming it was hashing in the GUI.

Got a batch 19 today. The hashrate goes up and down like a yo-yo (as do the fan speeds). What the hell is the deal? I tried today's firmware but it is actually worse than the one that came on it which was dated from the middle of last month. It hits the advertised hashrate but since it spends so much time drifting down to low hashrates the average is much lower than the advertised rate.
It will hash fine for 5 to 10 minutes then one, two, or sometimes all three boards suddenly start drifting towards zero. They end somewhere around 50-100 and then hover there for 2 or 3 minutes then crank back up to full until they do it again. When this is happening there tend to be a lot of hardware errors too, at least on the firmware released today.
EDIT: Also the web page is much less responsive. Additionally it runs the boards a little hotter than I would. Todays firmware is allowing temps of 110 before it turns up the fans. Also the PCB temps have been removed.

I Use Antpool and everything is fine with B19 miners.
GH/S(avg)
13,462.83

13,744.30
13,357.30
Total 54114 THs
Maybe I just got lucky this time with my four miners.

You can add me to the list of s9 owners with a dead board, (batch 14)
Seriously considering selling all my gear at this point if anyone is interested
PM me. I am definitely interested if it comes at a good price. Seriously considering selling all my gear at this point if anyone is interested
My machines are situated in labarador Canada if shipping there won't be a problem

As I see all miners are sold out at bitmaintech? https://shop.bitmain.com/main.htm?lang=en
Also I see the increasing price of the Bitcoin that's why I want to buy this miner and have found it on Aliexpress here http://ali.pub/a7b40
It costs $2,150.00/piece with Free Shipping to United States via DHL.
Estimated Delivery Time:6-13days
Only three pieces available.
Another seller's Total Price: US $1,748.27 - http://ali.pub/lti1n
With Estimated Delivery Time:8-16days
Also five orders and only two pieces available.
Why these prices are so different? Maybe I don't understand something?

they are reselling gear. even if it is new it won't have a warranty.
I am down to 2 s9's with 1 spare hashboard and 1 spare controller.
I am considering selling them. I am not sure if I will . Depends on my alt coin mining.
If I sold them I would ask 3333 usd in btc for 2 s9's + an extra controller and an extra hash board. free Shipping to the usa
Maybe you are right about the warranty but the first seller has three five-star feedbacks in August and September and zero negative comments. I think it was enough time to make tests for these buyers. But I still try to find better offers..
And good luck with the sale of your hardware.

I would also check to see what batch the miners are and if they are 'new' or have been used.
