Damn, I can't believe they sold out of S9 in less than a day. I was going to buy some but I didn't have enough time to get bch.

Was this unusual to sell out so fast? How long do Bitmain's batches of S9 usually last before selling out?

Now that Coinbase has enabled BCH, I think you'll see the batches sell out faster. The last batch took a couple weeks at least.

Oh yea they'll definitely sell out much quicker now that BCH is much easier to get for us.

I also wanted to throw this out there, they do have a repair facility in California. It seems sketchy at first but I sent my L3+ hashboard to them and they shipped me a brand new hash board in 2 weeks. I thought it was actually pretty good service. Sucked that the hash board went out but still.

Wat was the problem with the hashboard?

Is there any way of contacting them? The phone listed in bitmain site seems dead, bitmain site says you have to send the whole miner, if I try to open a repair ticket in bitmain site it asks me for tracking number... Could you share the process you went through to get this fixed? Thanks!

Did anyone get a bitmain 500 USD coupon? I just got one.

Hi, with which order did you get the 500$ coupon? L3, D3 or S9 and which price batch???

Thank you in advance

It doesnt say why. Perhaps it is because 1 of my hashboard isnt working. I already tried their first step. Now, waiting for more news on how to fix.

Niiiiiice

i have 2 hashboards broken(not appearing in status page) on a D3 which i received 1 week ago.

Did you sent it back to china for repair or you just complained in their support page and tried the troubleshooting methods?

My 2 D3s are fine.

I bought 7 S9s so far in total. Only 1 has an issue with 1 hashboard. The rest are ok.
So far, I have done as their support instructed and the one hashboard still does not show. I am waiting for more answers from them on how to fix.
The sad part is that hashboard worked fine for awhile...and then it didnt Sad

Thanks for the info sandal_hat

Happy holidays
happy mining

U too buddy

Did u send your D3s to china after troubleshooting didnt work??

No i will do that next week.
I will sent them the miner and i will put a turkey in the box as a Christmas gift

Just joking
I have no time to post it right now but will do next week

Quick question about fan speed.

I have an S9 that constantly cycles between 4k and 6k RPMS. All my other S9s (same firmware, same hardware version, etc.) stay steady at 4k. It's annoying to hear it spin up to 6k from 4k every few minutes.

Kernal: Linux 3.14.0-xilinx-gb190cb0-dirty #57 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 9 14:49:22 CST 2016
Firmware: Fri Jul 21 05:15:25 EDT 2017
Hardware: 16.8.1.3

It's hashing just fine. All on the same pool, all same settings. Sitting right next to units that are just fine.

Any ideas?

Update the firmware?

Thanks for the response - I just did and it's still doing the same thing. Sad

Firmware: Tue Aug 15 11:37:49 CST 2017
Logic Version: S9_V2.30 (formerly S9V2.23)

I know these things are nosy, and a fan speed of 6,120 is fine, as long as it's constant. 4,440 to 6,120 back to 4,440 every few minutes... Tongue

Quick Q - who all jumped in on the Feb batch at the new price?

I grabbed one

I got some additional S9s. Not a great price by any means and now it is already sold out. I think next batch could actually be cheaper now that profitability is lower, if they release it soonish after this one.

Given the history, this most likely small batch served as pump for BCH together with buying in exchanges just before going live in Coinbase. I would bet anything that the timing was not a coincidence. This kind of insider manipulation could seriously compromise both BCH and BTC going forward. Does no favors to boosting cryptocurrency as reliable alternative to FIAT money.

I thought the same thing. Noticed the early pump in BCH price, then the Bitmain website was acting up a bit. Next morning the new batch is released. Where there is smoke, there is fire

Yeah, it's dirty AF. On the ASIC business side I can't complain too much. They have reached dominant position on the market through their vision and ability to execute. It is not their fault there is no real competition on the market and they are still giving reasonable ROI for their customers (naturally excluding D3 here).

I just would very much prefer them staying away from the politics, but unfortunately they have decided to use their power to manipulate the industry. This whole shenanigans is hurting crypto in the long run and I believe their only aim is to make boatload of money now and not care about the future. They are reinforcing their label as $hitmain and like this BCH will never achieve the required trust to be considered as future of money. In global finances trust is everything and they are throwing it away with this sandbox kids fight with Roger Ver as main bully.

Mark my words the lite coin miners will come out tomorrow. So they can just mark them up and make lots of money.
