What percentage of Bitmain's sales would you estimate are made to small non Chinese buyers?

I would rather they simply honored the warranty. If it breaks in the first 90 days it gets replaced without a lot of rigamarole on their part. Buying a miner and getting a 10% coupon on the next is worthless if the miner I bought only performs to 66% of spec. There are a lot of tech companies that provide excellent and reliable warranties. Bitmain could be one if they wanted to.
Yeah but the shipping back to China at high cost is a killer along with no cross shipping.
It is not like an Intel CPU which ships at low cost. BTW When I killed my Intel i5 6600k I had two options cross ship at an extra cost of 25 usd or send it in and wait . I went the cheap way and had a new CPU in 8 days. If I cross shipped for 25 extra I could wait to ship the dead one back and would of had it in 2 days. I did not need it that fast so I saved the 25 extra cost.
I actually do not hate bitmaintech but they are a bit short on service if gear breaks down. They need to adapt on this.
Some reasons:
1) they are helping gpu miners with their short warranty
2) break even on asic gear is not 60 to 120 days. So the 90 day warranty means your gear is almost certain to not roi under warranty this helps gpu mining
3) they are pretty well known for not honoring warranty this helps gpu mining
Basically here is my Eth setup and I convert most coins to btc. Bitmaintech has created demand for gpu mining. Mostly over their warranty issues.
18 cards two 4 card rigs and five 2 card rigs. Every piece has at least 1 year warranty or more. Most have a 2 year warranty.

phil, what are you doing?
releasing the secret of how to get the same amount of btc with 2.5-3 times less watts and a real warranty?
It is an open secret.
Bitmaintech is king of ASIC world
And they need to watch for gpu world more then anything else.
Hey phil i sent you a dm if you can check it out please
what is a dm?
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;)

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 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.

Dear customer,
Your hash board was damaged physically before we received it. It may happened in transit.
If you need the picture of the hash board, I can send it to you.
Yours respectfully,
Quentin
Make sure I understand this correctly...
Is Bitmain the one who sent this message to you today regarding a board you sent to them?
If so, what good is a picture going to do for you?
He should get the picture.
I got a new big picture.

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
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
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.
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.

Interesting. Does it also act as a proxy?

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.

do you have a site or tweetter account to stay tuned?

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

Anyone knows some Antminer S9 Monitors ??
I had M miner Monitor with the S7 but it doesn't recognize the s9
I had M miner Monitor with the S7 but it doesn't recognize the s9
Second Question of same category:
I have all my miners with a hosting company and work individually with my miners remotely through a vpn. Is there a dashboard that I can view my critical information without having to remote onto each miner?
I'm about to release a product for that, maybe a month and a half more of development. We have monitoring, auto soft and hard reset and other niceties like modem/router reset on bad internet etc. No need for direct access and we will release a cloud dashboard to boot.
Here's a screenshot, of a couple of small S5 farms, sorry for the spanish language, that's one of our supported languages and my interface is on that.

I returned a I/O board that was faulty, Bitmain shipped my replacement two days after receiving the defective board. They have been really good to me on any warranty issue.
Presumably, this was not the S9. Here is waiting weeks for not working S9 controller.
