Hello, I'm Not Fluffy and I have a problem...

Saw that the B3's are still up for sale so, um, ordered another... Cheesy

I have to admit that I broke down and got a B3 as well. I re-ran the numbers earlier today and came up with a 199 day ROI. Not great, but better than over a year for B1 (which was around 4 BTC!)

Seems like 200 days is the new "normal" unfortunately. And I doubt we'll see much downward price pressure on Bitmain till the halving. Unless of course BW actually ships anything to end users. Seems unlikely given that we're over halfway through June, which was when they were supposed to offer miners to the public.

Anyway, thanks BTC for doubling in price and providing the admittedly thin rationale to feed my mining addiction Wink

B3 made a brief reappearance then went out of stock again. Maybe they updated the BTC price, which is now 2.81.

Can someone tell me the per unit UPS shipping cost to the US? I'm trying to do an ROI calculation (anticipating the next batch) but can't get the shipping cost because it's out of stock.

The shipping conf email for mine says UPS charge of 0.092 BTC which at the time I think was around ~~$140 USD.~~

edit. Just did the math and cost was $63 USD.

Thanks!

Oh, you know it is. And they'll probably continue to ignore the cgminer open-source license terms. It's easier to hide advanced features from peasants like us.

S9 do not use Cgminer 4.8.0 ? Instead is BMminer Version 1.0.0

So called BMminer is most likely a stolen cgminer

As some might have noticed I have been giving multiple mining pools 24 hour run's with the S9. This time I tried out Slush Pool. During the 24 hour run the S9 hashed around 13.9T as shown with extremely low hardware which I have come to expect. Still no issues with pool comparability, so yet again good news to report. The pictures below show the results from mining on Slush Pool:

Try Nicehash and you will find only issues with pool comparability Grin

I have not tested nicehash with it's system, they always wanted you to use extranonce.subscription in past for best results https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#sha256 which I have not used one of nicehash's custom firmwares since S4 day's for me and it seems dated as they have not made it for recent systems. And even if they had one I would hate to modify original firmware anyways on the S9. With nicehash you also have more pool resets/ server resets so it is tougher on the unit itself. And honestly I don't see nicehash getting the big extra percentages over regular pools it did long ago.

I have been testing regular mining pools I see Nicehash and MRR as different beast's in my mind. So I will continue testing different pools but those two I don't plan to be in them.

Was the 1st thing I tried. No go. zilch.
In cryptoGlance, when I 1st enter the edit rig info page it says it can't find it. That may be part of the lack of detailed information. But - it actually does and lets you set alarm points and save them.

My guess is the extra fields that the API returns in the request is messing with it. BEcause it now has two temps per board... not to mention other changes they may have done. The S7 stayed in the same amount of "cells" so thats probably why it worked for the S7.

A screen shot showing the difference in what cryptoGlance can display, An s7 is top, s9 the middle, note lack of details shown for the s9. Safe bet there will be an update for it later (we hope).

Nothing, batch 3 was more expensive, a premium was charged for an earlier ship date, the most likely cause was manufacturing was complete on a production run and they had more to sell. Batch 2 said Will ship by June 20th and that is when they will ship it, by June 20th.

It will be interesting to compare some board rev and serial numbers once the B2 and B3's are looked at.
