Hmmm... So when did AntPool start looking at Eth and LTC??? https://www.antpool.com/home.htm

  They see Eth as a threat to them  and are using an ancient Roman method of allowing slaves and conquered to become citizens of the empire.

My analysis points to a big spike in Eth mining after the ½ ing.  So why not have Eth as a pool of yours.

I did not do any LTC since it can use asics.

A 4 card eth rig with newest rx 480 miners should be able to do 85mh at 400 watts  and this makes it better then the s-9  after the ½ ing.

Yes, it works now in Nicehash.
File System Version - Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016

3xS9 (650M)=45.51 TH/s

But today I prefer Antpool with first S9 software -  Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016

why ?

Because the majority of my 10 and 2/3 x S9 B1  working in Antpool at speed 13.9 THs
only three of them are 13.5THs-13.7THs as with old and with  the new software.

There was a time I would have considered with Nicehash a big deal. But it's just not like the old day's with coins launching and huge profit's, now they pay very little over and sometimes under.  And consider their fee "NiceHash charges a processing fee from each party of hash rate trade (buyers and sellers) made through the service. Currently our fee is set at 3%."

I think there are MUCH better options out there with pools to mine, Antpool is one of them to mine with over nicehash.   I see people using Antpoool, Kano.is, F2, BTCC, slush, etc much more often then going to nicehash.

ah Bitmain finally put up the  new firmware so the S9 will work with NICEHASH. Except when you try to use p=? and the password line!!! at least you can hash now.


Which of them do you mean ?

All of them you just have to match the  ? MHZ located on your S9 hash board and download the one that matches your miner. 500 , 600 , 650 MHZ depending which one you have.

Hmm. Still, looking at the next nodes makes sense and now is the time to start playing with ideas that could take advantage of what those noes could offer. Emphasis on 'could'.

That is then followed by when will the 10/7nm nodes be viable for mass production of ANY chip? My crystal ball says, "Not for a minimum of 3 years away".

Interesting..
Bitmain already has some kind of plans for going into 10nm process and even into 7nm process.

This picture was released at Bitmain's Facebook page in 22th June 2016:





Well it is in print..   on a poster on in the photo.

I know that looks good.
I know the time frame is what's in question.
I know right now  they have working 0.1 watt per gh gear.

So  they may do a new version of it at .075 watts in 9 months.

Then they may go for the 10nm in 18 months.  I do not see a working 10nm in under 27 months.

But only a guess on my part.

Has anyone tried to switch the stock fans of the S9, with Noctua F12 3000 RPM? If you can share thought or even results?


it will not work.  do not try it.

I tried it on the s-5 no go and on the s-7.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/12-in-x-25-ft-Insulated-Flexible-Duct-R6-Silver-Jacket-F6IFD12X300/100182573

put it in the duct above.

 lower clock to 500 manually set fans to 60%  

watch your temps  65- 95 is good

so if you are too hot lower clock to 475.  good luck

Is this helping with the noise? and what is your ambient temp?

 


this did wonders for my s-7's running in my garage last winter.
my current setup does not use these as I am partners in a solar array. I provide the miners buy solar provides the power

So I went to bhphotovideo.com  and preordered  

 2 msi rdn rx 480 8gb gpu's   cost a lot less the 2000
used a cc have a 3 year msi warranty and earn points with my cc....

this is the only competition  there is for bitmaintech at the moment.

I was considering it but the ship date that they have listed worried me.  I just hope it's a filler date they put into the site.

i have done business with them  they are decent.    

so i will await news from newegg
i will await news from provantage.

i look at all the gear and I have 8500 worth of btc miners

and while i have 5 pc's that can hold 15 video cards I have no video cards  so now I at least have 2 on order

Are you talking about for ether mining?  

I thought you already built a couple ether miners.  

 I sold all the cards to prep for the new model cards.  the pc's- mobos are all empty.


but they fixed the error on bitmaintech site so I grabbed the final s-9  the array will be ready for its sixth and final miner.


the tx id is confirmed.


https://blockchain.info/tx/9f661b4b0010da5081d3b2652db0dc695a21d019d84f0f6192984f611bfa4ba3

my fifth and final s-9   should be here by friday I hope.

Ordered my second S9 also, but my power cost is $.089 @ sidehack slightly more than you. We will see if this purchase was a good decision or not in 5 or 6 months, hopefully good Smiley I want to replace my hash from selling 20 S7s but probably wait for B6 or 7 for my next orders.

Edit: Phil did your order get confirmed by Bitmain. After 3 7 confirmations mine still shows unpaid.

Fell off the fence you did on that last S9.

Where did you sell the old cards?  Ebay?  I have 5 r9 290's.  I thought for $250 they were a good deal but it looks like the rx 490 is going to be in the same pricing ballpark.  I wonder what the performance difference will be.  Lower power usage will be nice though.

I sold all the cards here at very good prices. 200 for r9 390s

And 300 for nanos.

While that is low I sold the day that eth crashed and I wanted to get my roi assured.

Right now everything for my eth gear is 100 % paid including the two rx 480s on pre order.

I have room for 13 more gpus.  And will have the two up and running soon.

I could of held the cards and mined but that crashed spooked me a bit and the chance to be at even with two gpus on order and pic/ mobos ready for 13 cards was something I did not want to pass
