Most likely it is not sold out it is another problem.

BTW I have the same problem and I have had this happen at least 5 times over the last 2 years. They may correct it later today.

I am not going to pull the trigger and will hold coins instead.

Historically buying coins has paid out much better.

some times it works out your way.

Trying to get another S9 but getting this error when I hit confirm at the bottom. Anyone else? Tried two different browsers.

who knows maybe sold out.

Possible. But previously it would not even let you put a miner in the cart.

Yeah I misspoke (misstyped) on my previous post. It'll hit 4000 within a minute if it gets a good restart, not 3000 as I had stated before. I get 12.6 also but I am running at 587. I thought about trying the mystery firmware but opted not to until I hear more results. My slow board will push 4150 or so after a good restart at 587. The thing is the other boards will do 4300 easy with higher freqs, but if I do that the slow board just gets stuck around 2700-2800 (like your screeny). I may well try swapping boards when my B4 arrives to see if I can build a higher freq unit and lower freq unit.

I would contact them before switching boards between unit's. It's would break the warranty seal and be a shame to lose warranty on two pretty new unit's over a little bit of hash.

Have you contacted them and said it did not fall in "12.93TH/s ±5%" of batch 2? If not do that before breaking seals and voiding warranty.

It gets 12.6 which is within the 5% range. I realize it will void the warranty. I wouldn't do it right away and I haven't even gotten the B4 so who knows, it might have 3 great boards that all get 4300 in which case there won't be any reason to swap boards around. Just something I would consider if it looked like it was worth doing.

Ahh ok I guess the picture is old then or before the freq change. I thought you were in area of 11.4ish (pictured rate) but 12.6 is much better. Personally if it works I would keep it going at least though warranty stage. .3T is very little hash to give up warranty over.

Either way best of luck.

I think you were thrown off by the nested quotes, the picture wasn't mine (although mine performs very similarly at that freq).

12 or 10nm chips of any sort will not be available from anyone for several more years, on top of that, so far looks like <12nm is going to be reserved for high complexity chips and not simple boutique ones like mining ASIC's.

Why? Because of pricing?

That would be one way to look at it. The complexity and circuit density of the process so far is dictating that the dies will be fairly large/high value. IMO probably because they can fit so much into the dies that the cost to connect simple circuits to the outside world makes them a moot point. ref the threads here a while ago about IBM announcing a 7nm test chip https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15196056 and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15197990

Hi I have received two units of S9 and both have one board hashing around 2.7

They are batch 2, is it a normal? Any tips?

Thanks!

As others have said try lowering the freq. I have one board which underperforms as well. If I do a 'save and apply' without changing anything, sometimes it will come up good (higher hash) and sometimes it will come up bad (lower hash). But lower freq usually means better odds of it coming up good when I restart cgminer. I can tell within a minute if it got a good start because it will either come up past 3000 or it wont by that time.

I've got it working with the mysterious "low voltage" firmware from June 22nd. I had to lower the frequency to 593 and reboot quite a few times but now I got it running at 12.6 TH stable, with the slow board around 4000Gh, I guess this is as good as it gets.
I'm wondering if using an alternative PSU to my bitmain one would improve, I will try to borrow one to test.

How about releasing 14nm or 12nm or even 10nm chip miners Grin

But dont forget to fix nicehash bug first by putting back cgminer. Roll Eyes

14nm ain't gonna happen from Bitmain as that process is available only from Samsung or GloFo foundries. 12 or 10nm chips of any sort will not be available from anyone for several more years, on top of that, so far looks like <12nm is going to be reserved for high complexity chips and not simple boutique ones like mining ASIC's.

Is anybody having trouble ordering a B4. I decided to go ahead and order my 2nd S9 but Bitmain website is giving me this error message - "DirectPay generate bitcoin payment address error: null".

More than I wanted to spend but I bought one more. I'll wait until after the halving to decide if I need any more.

Anyone know the turn around time for bitmainwarranty in Denver? The S7 they are fixing for me now needs to be sold to make room for the S9 I just ordered.

They have great service from my experiences. They are very quick on things I have done so far. You can contact them very easy is one thing about their great customer service - https://bitmainwarranty.com/contact/

So there is a ticket form there you could fill out if you really need to know time frame,or there is also a phone number. So you can contact them and get a better and more accurate anwser then me guessing

It's too bad that BTC went down since B3. That makes B4 more expensive than B3 in BTC terms.

Even B3 was a stretch for me at 2.9 (after the unexpected duty charge from UPS). I'll wait for a better priced batch.
