Topic: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order - page 251. (Read 531168 times)

lol they havent done ne thing to fuck up paypal....the just sent the email out a day or so ago about accepting paypal. as for dealin with bitmain....i have dealt with them since the s1. i have owned every model of their s series miners except for the s3+ i heard about a while back but i havent ever seen 1. i started mining at home to heat my house but moved to much larger mining setups so im pretty sure i have experience with bitmain lol.

im not saying they dont make mistakes but the info i posted above about temps hitting over 100 degrees c and going above that means users dont understand the risks involved with running their miners that hot. sure it can be done and some may last forever at those temps but from the posts i have read in this thread alone im seeing that so many failed and their info many times includes temps that are ridiculously high.

now tell me....can bitmain be at fault for those boards dying when the temps far exceed ones that are reasonable? can they be to blame for users not knowing any better and running them in places like the garage and room where ambient temps push 100 degrees?? now if you have temps like mine and they died i would back you 100% but im seeing most 100+ temps so how can i support those claims? Everyone that mines should know 1 key piece of info......HIGH TEMPS KILL MINERS....period. if people refuse to ignore that or claim ignorance then all i have to say is maybe you should have done a little more research on proper operating conditions. i know for a fact 90-100 degree ambient temps in a garage or shed in the dead of summer with 100% humidity are not even close to being the ideal operating temps....common sense should be settin off alarms in these peoples heads but instead many turn here and bash bitmain about it.

i have had 1 issue with a miner....a batch of s5's i ordered were extremely dirty and covered in that fine black dust that doesnt blow off with compressed air like normal household dust does. it looked more like what comes out of a tailpipe of a car. they got back to me and sent me a new s5 for free without needing me to send anything back. that is the only issue in the years i have used their products.

to everyone that is running them in proper environments and not outside or in cramped rooms that you cant even sit in without sweattin ur ballz off i hope you get your miners repaired but for those that arent i hope u learned from your mistakes and i hope you listen to people like me that posted many times about 100c being too effin hot for any miner. it cost you alot to learn this mistake but hopefully it makes u not wanna repeat it again.

I also expect PayPal will realize quickly there are issues with Bitmain and chargebacks. Right now their most failure-prone product through PayPal will probably be the S7LN PSU, which in my experience are lemons (20% failure/DOA) but maybe they already culled out all the garbage ones by now?

Also, I don't think going after BitmainWarranty (the Colorado-based entity) will do you any good. They're not actually legally associated with Bitmain last I checked, and also do their best to pick up the slack when Bitmain screws over US customers.

Hey numnutz. That is the proper name;).  I no need to fuck it up for bitmain. They are doing a fine job themselves.  I suspect you haven't dealt with bitmain enough to be fed up!

dang....i think the pp comment you made was pretty ignorant. not only did u not buy anything through paypal but when they finally start accepting an easier form of payment you go and try fuckin it up?? but if you send a letter to paypal they will just ignore it...your clearly trying to ruin a reputation of a company before it even gets goin. sure you may have dealth with buying in btc but you havent bought from them with paypal yet so try to not make assumptions before having any real proof.

now i noticed alot of people having issues with their miners fyin but i also noticed the temps of many peoples miners are 100c and above....your cramming huge hasherates into tiny spaces and expect to be able to run these things safely in your garages in the middle of summer?? thats just ballz crazy! here are my temps:

board 1 59/91
board 2 54/84
board 3 54/87

the ac unit for each of my rooms is set to 72 degrees and the frequencies are all set to the stock 550. sure one board per miner is a little hotter but that is because i have a strip of tape going over part of the grill because of the whistling noise which will be removed once the filter material i ordered comes and i can make some filters for my miners. but even with that piece of tape my chip temp on all my miners never goes above 92 degrees and all of my miners have the same sort of numbers temp wise. i would be shuttin my miners off immediately if i saw temps going near 100 degrees and above....they arent made to be running in your shed or garage in the summertime. winter time would be perfect but summertime.....bad idea guys.

What percentage of Bitmain's sales would you estimate are made to small non Chinese buyers?
There's a probable case to make that you're getting QC rejects, the scribbling on Tupsu's label would support that.
As for those heat sinks that look like they were stuck on by a blind man wearing boxing gloves.....

a private sorry haha

As us citizens can't we just go after bitmainwarranty.  I mean they reside in us. They have something going on in Colorado and Washington state.  Maybe is time to start turning them into the BBB. I'm going to be sending a friendly letter to PayPal making sure they watch bitmain account super close. It will be a chargeback haven something I'm sure PayPal doesn't want to mess with. Not to mention the prices on eBay for this junk is outrageous.  


Little story for you all.  I bought a sapphire 290x from eBay back in May when I was building out the majority of my rigs for mining Ethereum. I got one card that would quit after 7 hours of mining. I sent it back to sapphire.  Let them know that I bought it off eBay and that I just wanted to know the cost to fix it.  Low and behold when I got the email back not only was it still under warranty but I only got charged 30$ since I wasn't the original owner.  Now that's what I call fucking service.  Bitmain you have a long hard road ahead with actions like this.  Don't think you can run a business in the states and treat us this way.  You have a rude awakening coming;)

I think they lost the heat sinks that fell off.

With overheated thermal glue radiators may easily come off.  If too much thermal glue has been placed, they may bring something else from hashbord with glue and radiator.

5. Are the fallen radiators  frequent problem with S9 hashblades ? Yes.  This is one of the reasons for the repair and if it has happened, it must be written  before shipping in  this formular.

Tupsu: There is one chip missing which is probably stuck in to the detached heat sink.
I can't see why they can't come up with a new chip and 2pcs heat sinks and fix it?  

I got a new big  picture.

I only mine on kano.is with ck's solo as a backup. Units are hosted so its going to be physically checked. These are the latest batch just had them up and running a for around 48 hours.

This is a long shot, but what pool are you pointing at?

I mined on Zpool briefly but ran into a problem where the pool was serving up an extremely low difficulty of 64. It would hash for a while then one of the blades would fall over and show all x's.

At first I thought it might be frequency related and lowered my rate. I also tried setting a minimum difficulty. But it kept happening. Then several other people with S9s complained about the same thing on the Zpool thread, so I figured it was a pool problem.

I gave up and went back to Kano's pool (should never have left) and it's been fine ever sense.

Very Interesting!  I am looking forward to it.  When you get it done, let us know!

what is a dm?

So far all s9s good here including the 2 new batch 11's. Have all my fingers, toes and eyes crossed hoping they stay that way...
Any yes, is a bvyche typng liker that...

Looks like one of mine has a dead middle board. All x's

Tried lowering frequency to 575 but no luck, it comes up as o's but won't hash, then after a while goes to x's

I'm considering that already, and also a drag & drop interface for pool change.

Wanted to use ckpool (as that's what i use), but it is a no-go in ARM platforms.


My business site is primarily about biometrics and HR stuff. However i will surely tweet about the project release and notify around here when it's time. My tweeter (personal one, but i'll tweet there) is @johnvillarz.

Just as a heads-up, initial release will only have capacity for 1 hardware control, but we have already working prototypes of the hardware expansors, which will go from 4 hardware control ports for hte basic expansor to 32 or 64, depending on demand).

Hey phil i sent you a dm if you can check it out please 

this could be interesting..
do you have a site or tweetter account to stay tuned?
