Stock firmware from Bitmain on the Antminer S9 isn't that great.  If someone re-writes the OS to increase efficiency, I will pay a dev fee.

order 2 Pcs
Shipping date: Jan 21-31 2018
arrival date:    Dez 22 2017

Tested just now.
They have different fans, from hardware version to bminner version everything different.
Both take longer to start mining than usual.
One of the them is howling louder than usual, changing fan-speed between 5'000 to 6'000 every minute or so (I think this was happening with the very first autotune batches).
Have a strange feeling on this.
Can it be, Bitmain is clearing they're mines in order to get space for 9nm ?


can confirm that
my 13.5th miner listed for 21-30Jan is arrived Dez 21 2017
other firmware, fans louder than all the other S9, more power consuption, like 1500W,  this pre shipped miners are crap

Just an FYI I got notification that my January order has been shipped today

1 of our 4 January 21-31 orders shipped today. Still no word on our December 21-30 order. I suspect that Bitmain has more than 1 manufacturing facility for the S9 and one of them is outperforming the other. I also noticed that the product page for the December 21-30 batch has been updated with "(HK)" at the end of the heading, which I assume means Hong Kong. The product page for the January 21-31 batch does not have this. Perhaps the "(HK)" denotes which facility the order is being handled by. I've noticed that my previous orders updated to show "(HK)" were shipped later than my shipments for orders the came from product pages that didn't show "(HK)". "(HK)" was definitely not present during the purchasing process, so there still isn't a way to know ahead of time which manufacturing center your order is going to.

I think you are right. My "HK" was shipped from Hong Kong and arrived much quicker than the one not labeled HK. THe S9 not labeled HK spent about a week just to get out of China.
I still had to pay customs either way.

Ultra Mega Giga Super Cool Flying Oposum!
I was thinking something like that as well. *puts tinfoil hat* How come that there is no 14TH/S version in last few months? I think last 14TH/s version was like in summer IIRC, since then rest of is only 13.5TH/s. And when they get rid off every S9 for 3k  Grin Grin Grin Grin they will announce new miner Cheesy *removes tinfoil hat*

Well today is the 1st day of the official Dec 21-30 batch ship dates. Waiting for that email notification.......

Yeah I am mining with my  Jan 21-31 2018 order

Does your order page actually change to "shipped" or does it remain "shipping"? My PSU's still say shipping even though I have them, and I could swear at one point the tracking info was on my order page but then disappeared. It's as if Bitmain doesn't realize that I already have them.

The single January 21-31 batch that shipped actually shows the tracking number on the order page and says shipped. The other orders do not.

That's what I thought. Strange my PSU's did that but reverted back to shipping

I have tried Alibaba in the past order for miners for about $10K and had good success.  Make sure you have a good rating on the company that you are buying from.

What payment method did you choose? Can you give us the name of the seller?
I guess some extra info would be greatly appreciated by alot of people here.

I used Credit Card on that transaction.  I do not remember the name of the company.  It was about a year ago.

Well I am in the same situation as you.
I never had an Antminer but I want to buy one.
I am in EU, and can pay only with visa card, or try to buy bitcoins with card to pay.
So I was looking on alibaba site for at least one month, but like you I don't know who to trust.

There are sellers with videos, and have their company name written on a paper.
I will try to post links here, hope I don't break any kind of rule.
This should provide proof that they are legit, but again, maybe there is at least one person in this world who bought one from alibaba and happens to have an account here and can help us out!
All of them have Transaction numbers (6 months) and 1/4/6 years registered on alibaba.

One information I can provide is that they asked me what TH do I want? 13.5 or 14? and when do I want it because the price differs. Like if I want it in 1 week is 5000 USD, 1 month 4000-3000 USD and so one.

It would be extremely helpful if someone who bought from them can come with a feedback to help out people who have only credit card.

Cheers!


These are probably clones/replicas of the original bitmain product. Im curious if anyone bought something like that and if the asics are reliable like the original ones.

Also wondering if anyone has made any deals on Alibaba. I've been all over Alibaba for a couple months trying to find legit sellers. I've contacted probably every seller listing miners. Every single one of them wants to go wechat or whatsapp for sale and accept btc only. I cant get comfortable with that.

I have tried working deals on Alibaba, the prices that get quoted are more then I can buy on E-Bay for.  Right now they are quoting $3850 for an L3+, plus $200 for shipping.

They will lower the price if you reply and show them the current eBay listings.

can somebody tell me what wrong with my S9 miner?? Just run for one month. Can I fix it at home??? please help me
Looks like a board gave up. Try power cycle it, see if it comes back.
do you mean restart the miner???
Yes, unplug it, wait a couple of mins, plug it back again. Maybe save the kernel log if you haven't rebooted yet? Maybe the board comes back up? Kernel log after the reboot may tell you what is going on with that board. Also look at the red led in the board, when mine broke that led never turned on again.
The led still red, this is what my kernel log last show, anything helped??
