They are for sale, but have RAISED the prices:

ANTMINER S9-B15, 12.93TH/s,shipping out within 7 days after fully paid
Speed: 12.93
Weight: 5.5 kg
Price: 1540 USD
( 2.56 BTC )

ANTMINER S9-B14, 11.85TH/s,shipping out within 7 days after fully paid.
Speed: 11.85
Weight: 5.5 kg
Price: 1382 USD
( 2.297 BTC )

Er, B12 11.85 was $1442 and 12.93 was $1600, so at least it is slightly lower, NOT higher.

It needs to be slightly higher with six month warranty.

Good price raise means warranty is now 180 days like I asked them to do>

Just kidding

But it is what they should do. Raise price and 2x warranty.

It has become clear to all of us that these chips break easier this is not a knock against bitmaintech it is a simple fact the the 14-16nm chips at ½ the size of the 28nm chips and they have more power leakage and defects.
Intel has had more dead 6600k chips and more dead 6700k chips and reports of issues of the smaller chips burning up including the asics in the s-9.

I have cheap power I can make money on an s-9 if it keeps running a long time.
I can not make money on dead s-9's.

Basically buying these with 90 day warranty is a no go at this price.
Buying this with a 180 day warranty is a maybe at this price.
Buying this with a 360 day warranty is a yes even if the price bumps up to 1450 from 1382 for the 11.85th
Buying the 12.93th for 1600 is worth it with a long 360 day warranty.

I simply ask to buy my gear with a longer warranty I would pay extra up front for longer warranty.

Hello.My hashboard arrived at Bitmain service, UPS says it was collected and signed by MR SUNG yesterday, 09.09.2016,
but on BITMAIN service ticket it is not updated as collected.Should I worry ?
I sent a mail to bitmain support regarding this

It takes sometimes up to a week for them to update it.

they update my ticket after a week with this

and send it to me
is that mean it repaired or replaced or what ?
they don't tell me anything

They generally will ship it back to you withing a few days, once they post that status on your account.

they shipped it to me
is than mean it fixed ?

says replaced so you should be getting a working board back.

@Vortexz
no worries then if representative picked up your hashboard and you received a call about it.
same happened to me when I sent out bad hashboards, it took nearly a month for support to find my boards for warranty repair.
the info on the web has absolutely no correspondence or connection to what is happening.
Bitmain warranty service is organized that way that all efforts are done so the customer MUST miss the warranty period.
Very often Wink

there some bugs on he website with the repair ticket, or ignoring customer letters and requests (as they do usually), or sending back not repaired parts, everything in order no to fulfill the warranty repair . So its normal way of handling customer service for Bitmain)
So you should really give them more persistent tries and look out - they are very very tricky

Good luck!

I am still waiting for Yoshi to sell me an s9 that he said would only take a day or two to get processed for me. That was several months ago. Huh

It does not look like they are getting any S9's from the homeland.

Do you have any idea how that reads ?

2 weeks, 2 dead chips on my brand new s9
another s9 has a dead board

funny how they sell this crap gear for 1600$ and people buy them

Money is a funny drug;)

So true

My second dead board is on its way to me. I will install both dead boards at the same time.

Have to thank Yoshi of bitmainwarranty for the replacement service.

my verdict on the gear is it is easier to break then any other chip. So plan for it. Also add 10% to the price you pay since the gear breaks so much easier then any of there older gear.

Frankly they should charge more for the gear and give a better warranty.

Wise choice using Yoshi. He has been very helpful with the one S7 I have with them. Though I'm selling it at the end of the month.
Knock on wood, 5 S9's with no dead chips or boards yet.

So what is the deal with posting images? I am unable to all of a sudden.

Why does this machine say it found a block?

https://s18.postimg.org/44ek61prt/How_Block.gif

nice hash doesnt always mine bitcoin..

you can easily find a block within a couple seconds of starting up the miner.

also there is a bug in the s7 firmware that if you mine some alt coins, it thinks you find blocks when you dont.. i guess its the same with s9.

No look again. It didn't mine on nicehash at all. All shares were submitted to kano which means it was only ever mining BTC. The diff of the highest share is too low to be a BTC block (plus kano pool did not indicate a block found by me).

its a bug. when you first turn on s7 and im guessing s9 it runs for a minute and restarts, clearing all the values except found blocks.. im almost certain it sent some shares into nh and found a block.

I know what you are talking about where it runs for a short time and then restarts cgminer but that is from a power cycle restart, this was just me having restarted cgminer itself so it wouldn't have done the 30-60 sec restart. I would be inclined to think it was an actual found block on multipool or nicehash but it shows no shares sent to either of those pools. I suppose there is some outside chance it had failed over briefly and found a block and I didn't notice it before I restarted cgminer and it just didn't clear that stat but the found block really was before the cgminer restart. One thing that makes that less plausible though is that my hashrate on kano has been steady for days and kano has had no server-side downtime.

This miner has a twice daily scripted cgminer restart with a freq change. I usually check on it after the changes to make sure it is working ok. The S9 next to it has been running for 24d and 22h and has never submitted a share to the backup pools.

on my s7 there is a file called getblk in the /config folder that has every single block and time stamp the machine has ever found..

if its on the s9 you can tell exactly when you found that block.. but im 100% sure its from NH and it was either a freak chance 1 share = 1 block thing or it failed over and when cgminer was restarted it cleared the values but kept the found block number.

my s7 doesnt actually clear the found blocks until you power off the machine or x amount of time passes, like 3 or 4 days.. or up to 15 blocks then it starts back to 0.

fun note, one of my s7s has found 11380 blocks..

I am thankful that you had a positive experience, i pray i never have to email yoshi, but if i do i hope i have a positive experience. There is hope!!!

I have 2 boards on an S9B3 that first showed a few "x" here and there then, the 2 boards disappeared from the control panel. I restarted, rebooted and reloaded firmware to no avail. I worked with Bitmain and they had me do the troubleshooting and send them pics of the results, but it did not get the 2 boards hashing. Bitmain said send them back to them. I will be sending the 2 boards to Bitmain_Z(Denver, CO) to see if they can fix/replace them first.
