No insults.  Just the facts of life. I am not saying that you did not have a legitimate problem. Just that the majority did not. Of course there are going to be some problems. I don't care if you buy a brand new car , asic miner, or toaster. You will have some problems with some items. I have bought multiple miners from multiple batches. And to date had no problems. And again. I find it funny that when over clocking was taken away. The majority of the problems went away.
While I don't disagree with your basic premise, I think you're missing quite a few of the posts on this thread, and other conversations.  A lot (and to say a "majority" when one does not have the base numbers for the comparison doesn't quite make it for me) of folks have had serious issues with the Biteme hardware, and particularly the S9s, although those problems had been showing for some time, and not just with the S9s. I've found cold solder joints, solder paste where it shouldn't be, and a litany of other QA fails that never should have made it out of the plant...and I've found such things even back in the S2s and S3s. Overclocking was never the culprit...unless the user, of course, threw caution to the winds and ran a machine at full throttle with no oversight. Of ten new, out-of-box BM devices I've worked with (S2 to S7), only two (older S3s) didn't need some sort of exceptional TLC on first boot to take care of some (hopefully) minor stuff.

So...that's my take on it. We have another game in town now, and from all I've seen directly (ie., not necessarily via the boards) it's a solid option. Better QA, better service, better communication.

Mine on...

I have seen the posts.  Although these are my first posts. I have been hanging around for some time. As for the base numbers. The same can be said of the people that write "biteme hardware". It's just really the Linux mentality.  The whole "me against the world" complex.
If the s9's were as bad as certain people claim them to be I would of no doubt found a lame duck. Sorry I don't believe in luck. Also have had many s7 and still. No problems.

Please do understand I myself do not like a monopoly. Unfortunately they are the only viable option if you are looking to make a living.

How did you buy 50 S9s as they have been sold out like forever?  Are they used?

The machines were bought on Alibaba. I already purchased these machines from the same seller before and they were brand new, they did not overheat, not the latest batch though, cloaked at 13 Th/s. 200$ below the price of the manufacture. I had to negotiate the rate.

I wont be surprised if people find the A7s way more reliable than the recent Bitmain problem miner - but we'll see.

Let me just say I am not a Bitmain fanboy. I really was hoping that bitfury had finished their miners by now. I have 17 s9's and have had not one problem. It magically seems that ever since they took out the ability to over clock and created the auto frequency. All of a sudden people are not frying boards. Most likely a user problem.  

I wouldn't be too quick to insult S9 owners...it seems that a lot of board issues come from shoddy manufacturing.  I am not a biteme fan either but one of my 5 S9s had a board slowing down and dropping out within a couple of hours after it was brought online.  When the board was removed for shipping, a component literally fell off the board.  The solder joints on the component did not hold.  A quick solder job and it was back in business.  I have read that this same component was an issue for many others and I would venture to say that a lot of board failures can be be contributed to this same problem...not necessarily a user problem.

I also have another question:
I bought 50 more S9s they should come within 20-25 days.
If I connect them all plus my 3 current S9s would I affect this pool. I do not want anyone to be adversely affected including myself Smiley

How did you buy 50 S9s as they have been sold out like forever?  Are they used?

Except for the Chinese holiday there has been a batch about every two weeks. They do however sell out within a couple hours. When I need to buy I check in hourly. Only when I'm awake of course.  Wink

Seems to be some pretty noticeable network instability in the Vegas datacentre.
The pool isn't dropping anyone - yet - and hopefully it will be sorted before it gets that bad.
I've contacted them about it already and hopefully they can deal with it before it does degrade any more.

Edit: well that didn't last much longer after I posted ... all ok again.
More of the above happening.
NL node had just reconnected everyone on it. It's OK again.
It didn't lose connection to the USA, it's just that almost everyone dropped off the NL node.
Other nodes are all OK (at the moment)

I wanted to check if payments for block 440354 have been made already?

PS: Sorry, I am new to mining and this pool.

no the block is mature but it will pay when we hit next block

 
1617   440387   Aminer.6reen           13.02778431   2016‑11‑24 16:51:22   +92 Confirms   99,021,474,758       35.139%   0.296   103.65%   1
1616   440354   sashaandrey70.17   13.24072864   2016‑11‑24 13:15:36   Matured      1,031,884,614,400    366.175%   0.974        100.83      2


these two are not paid  to be paid they must mature and when we hit a block we will pay either one  if we hit fast or both if that newer block matures faster then out next block

I wanted to check if payments for block 440354 have been made already?

PS: Sorry, I am new to mining and this pool.
Payments are (almost always) sent a couple of minutes after the block matures.
You can't send it until then anyway.

However, no one will see the payment until it's confirmed by our next block since no one else accepts large zero fee transactions - which the payout is. It's (as usual) in the work we are all mining.

440460 will added a couple of minutes after 9 blocks from now also.

Thank you for the explanation.

Yes you will affect this pool. You will increase its chances of finding a block proportionate to the extra hashrate Smiley

looking forward to see pool past the 40PH soon

I recently moved my AntMiners from one location to another, while they were mining on this pool. Upon moving them back to this location, the links to CKPool pool are now dead. I use the following stratum link: stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181

This is the recommended link for my device, although I have tried the other links to see if they would work as well. I'm uncertain of what to do in order to fix this.

I was under the impression that the nonce link was for Asicminer Tubes only and you mentioned AntMiners.  This is from the Kano.is home page:

Quote
If you have an Asicminer Tube, you will need to mine to:
stratum+tcp://nonce.kano.is:27181
It won't work properly on any other mining port. Don't point normal miners here.
Your Tube miner stats will show up in your account without their worker name.

The nonce link worked previously for my miners, but it has not been until very recently that this problem has occurred.

Well S9's have the lowest long term luck, of miners that I can identify directly, since May Smiley
But, the stats are not outside the realms of improbability.

So the reality is that either it doesn't matter, or Bitmain is doing something that deserves learning about how to post C4 in the mail Smiley
Hopefully no C4 is required Smiley

Yeah, I neglected to mention that effect. But it's a good one. LOL  Cool
