Very sorry to hear about the DOA S9, fortunately, i haven't had any bad luck on the S9-B12 that i received today. Hope it gets resolved quickly...

it is 2/3 working so i am down say 450 usd unless they replace it.

as for lost password it is pointed at my pool

At the risk of getting even more OT...

I guess you're not using a proxy? If you were, then this would be less painful because you'd still be able to change the pool at the proxy level.

I've been using the Stratehm stratum-proxy on an RPi and am happy with it. Pointed my S9s at the proxy on a local IP and now I can manage them as a group.

That said, I'm sure there must be a way to reset these newer models. Probably have to write them an email (they never answer support in my experience).

Yeah I am going to proxy them...

Never did a proxy. I had the dead board but discovered that the solar array ip is hacked and Someone diverts hash away from kano.is to where ever.

If I bring the miner here to my home behind two routers with different ip the miner gives me two good boards and spends power to mine two good boards.

If I take miner to solar array I get credit for board but two board mine. this is a completely different issue with from the dead board... I have seen this issue with s-1 s-3 s-5 s-7 s-9. one board gets diverted. you pay power for two boards or three board depends on the miner.

but the mining site gives you credit for one board less then you have.

the cure is change your ip and change your password.

SO the new miner had 1 dead board and then was mining withe two boards. After a while one board dropped from kano pool but the miner still pulled same power for two boards.

I took the miner to my house different ip.. So I change the password and now can not sign into the miner. Or reset it. I am tired of fucking with it. It is mining.
2 boards work fine see below:

I had one incidence similar to your situation where reset didn't work and I had no way to reach it.

I was very pissed and somehow throw it into another router's LAN. It got its new ip then all of sudden I was able to reach it and change its settings. Very weird.

I stacked a modem then two routers then the miner the address left 192.168.0.126

I was able to rest it back to stock then back to kano.is and I now have a different password then root. thanks

Mine for a Bit

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 remoting onto each miner?

Hmm, can't say I've tried it on the s9 but doesn't SSH use a different user/password than the GUI? I think with the s7 it is admin/admin (could well be wrong there). If SSH lets you in then it's a matter of will Bitmain's OS let you change & save the GUI access words.

edit: Correction, M's Miner Monitor says SSH words for the s5 are root/root and I believe those worked on the s7's.

Hmm.. Looking at the s9 pic shown in the manual I see a BB in it. Does the batch 10 have a BeagleBone? My batch 11 don't. That said, bet that once again Bitmain may have f***ked up the reset like they did on the s3(?)...

Well like I said at least it has a pool setting that works.

Maybe you need to sacrifice some of the critters from those cages in the barn (rabbits?) to whatever gods of BTC you seem to have ticked off...

Seems like I should do that well at least it is mining on my pool of choice.

Even If I can't reset it. Grin

this link may not work but I followed it and setting stay set

Ja, possibly the board failed QC a xx speed so maybe was binned as runnable at a lower speed.

I'm rather puzzled by the top heatsinks not being nicely (or at least better) aligned. Probably explains why some s7/9's are sirens and others not too bad.

You would think that they would be using a pick-and-place to put them on which should be very very repeatable or if being put on by hand (shudder) at least a frame of some sort to locate them and keep in place until the thermal epoxy hardens...

yeah they could be straighter.

Okay a completely different problem. this 2 board miner is working fine but I fucked up the user name and or the password.

So it is mining away on kano.is but I can not longer access it.

I was trying to change the user name from root to a different user name. and I was trying to change the password.

A long day and my mind is very stupid at the moment. Grin

So I now do not know:
the user name
I do not know the password

and the little reset button does not seem to reset the miner.

a little help to reset would be nice.

Anyone here read Chinese? If so, are those hand written symbols on Phil's bad board readable?

In particular it would be interesting to know the meaning of the symbol that looks like a 4 with a line through it.

i think it means they need to send phill a new board free of charge.. the upside 4 means power.. so im guessing it says no power.. but i dont speak chinese.

I have been contacted by Yoshi of Bitmain warranty.

I will need to pull board take photos and send to Colorado. Better then spending 110-149 to ship to China.

I will drive to the solar array on monday and pull boards. I will continue to post how it is handled. Include Emails with redacted info I.E. my personal info. I go back to older times in BTC when BFL and real asic ripoffs were all over the place. So I actually want Bitmaintech to figure a better warranty method. Including the idea I posted above. I.E. a discount for no warranty Since shipping a piece of gear and spending 110-150 to be told no warranty is bad for business.

I salute you for your efforts and I get it that you want it to be better for everyone.
Hopefully, it would not be a one-off deal, but something that will change their understanding of the situation.
People cannot continue to buy miners that brake even in a year while warranty is so inadequate.
That said, no warranty at all is just a recipe for potential abuse. They need to make it 1 year.

Yeah maybe 6 months and maybe a better method then shipping to China and getting rejected.

Here are 2 photos of the dead board. Some things to note it looks to have zero damage.
It has hand written notes on one side.
The good boards in that miner have no writing. My guess is this board had a fail on its quality check at the factory and then a tired or careless worker installed it.
I worked in assembly line work to help pay for my college degree. This error happens more then one would think.
I am pretty sure I will get a replacement board Which reminds me I will need to give Yoshi a return address.

notice good board has no writing here

... DC does not travel well over distance ...

Yes, it is.

We are talking about residential 240V AC power & not 500KV of power transfer.

Anyway, it's got boring now....... Roll Eyes

DC actually travels BETTER over distance, due to AC suffering from skin effect.

The REASON AC is more common is that it's a much lower technology need to change the VOLTAGE of AC power, and HIGHER VOLTAGE is a much more important consideration on losses for power transmission than skin effect is.

Bills are generally in wattHOURS, not watts straight up - though some electric companies charge a "use fee" on some of their rates based on the peak watt usage IN ADDITION TO the actual charge for watthours.

The problem with common lead-acid batteries is that while they might have a "nominal" voltage rating of 2Vdc per cell, they ACTUALLY have a normal voltage a fair bit more than that. A common auto "12V" battery usually has more like 13.5ish volts output at low amperage draw when full charged, and charging circuits commonly go as high as 15VDC.
"12V" Gel Cells like many UPS units and some solar setups use tend to be in the same range as they use the same technology with some minor modifications to allow them to be sealed.
