Hi folks.
Ive had an S9 running for three days now just wanted some feedback on a couple of things.
I run some S7's but have a few questions.

When booting the "Error" light blinks for a few minutes before the miner starts. Is this a normal boot up?

I run one hash card and the controller board on one PSU, then the other two hash cards on a second PSU.
PSU's are 1300W each.
At first I was getting numerous xxxx in the ASIC stats. I swapped the PSU's out with the S7's until I got a trouble free boot up.
Running in my server room at work cooled to about 18 Deg.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, just while I get used to the new hardware.
Thanks folks.

Is it ever worth buying overpriced ones from eBay? The price direct from Bitmain is already overpriced; adding more on top of that is shooting yourself in the foot.

Sometimes, but certainly not now.

Some ebayers get very good coupons I just got one for 8% it expired yesterday.

this is 2200 - 8% coupon = 2024 and I can get 1% off via ebates so -22 = 2002 and I can get 6 months to pay it at 0 %

so 2002 net cost and 6 months to pay with ebay protection and this was close to worth it yesterday.

Coupon is gone so it is not worth it. But yesterday it was close to worth it for me.

Bitman products produces profit after 10 months. An ebay one after 13-15 months. Or did I calculated something wrong?

We'll know when Bitmain has more S9s for sale when they make the sale button active.

I suspect they may be waiting on the next batch of BM1387s to arrive from the foundry.

Let me rephrase my question then: How often are they releasing batches usually? Will it be in the next weeks/month?
Is it worth usually waiting for the new batch or just buy overpriced ones from ebay?

While I can't decipher the Chineese web page, my simple view of it is that it is priced in CNY. In other words, the price is a fixed fiat price, and the BTC amount can "float". My recollection is that the English pages that used to be up for the S9 had a fixed BTC price. Unfortunately I can't confirm my memory since the English pages appear to be gone.

some were fiat
some were btc

Hello in my miner on first line in ASIC status it is showing X what to do now ?

http://imgur.com/a/wnsAN

Restart

why it is coming X ?

Most of the time your clock is too high for the psu.
So if you are at freq 600 change to freq 593 and see if the x drops off

after restarting it went off but why it came it is because i used cooler(air cooler in which water moves from up to down so cool air comes) near inlet fan to maintain temp ?

I have one with a poor performing board and at stock freq of 600 it will get an occasional x. If I leave it running they will go away and come back and go away somewhat randomly, always on that same board. That board also runs lower hashrate than the other two at any freq. But I leave it running at a reduced freq and it doesn't happen. Some of these are just not good performers which is probably why they have so many different batches with different freqs.

s9 are out of order, I wanted to buy some

Why ? Look better China S9 price + free 1600W PSU + coupon

https://www.bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020160720030451168OpKu9Hc60687

and you will realize that you are ...

1. Offer the present time Thursday, 14:00, totaling 999 units, each account to purchase a maximum of three.

2. Each Get APW3 + 1600 watt power supply, a power cord to bring your own.

3. Get a 300 yuan each coupon payment to the end of the event the account within a week.

china s9 = ( BTC2.671) - (APW3+ -12-1600 BTC0.162 ) - coupon rmb300 BTC0.0676
=BTC2.4414
=usd1621

hmmm.... not bad for a S9 11.85T.

the 12.93TH batch is just over 2k without a PSU.

400$ reduction for 1THs less hashing, is still worth it

Well I would like coupons for my 5 s-9's purchased. I do not need any psus but a coupon or two would be nice.

Water droplets are getting into your S9, better stop using the "air cooler in which water moves from up to down", your risking shorting electrical components inside your precious S9.

i stopped it but in cooler there is option to run cooler just normally and running cooler with pump on . So it is ok to run only cooler without movement of water just only like fan ?
