the good unicorn is the first batch of T9. I have few and since running non stop. 2 of them once made 183 days straight.
Yeah I think it's the sweet spot for Bitmain in reliability...has less chips for less hash rate, but runs smoother.
Not sure I agree. Feels more like marketing to me. Both of my original T9s died within weeks, although their replacements have been stable.
My 4 x T9+ , 2 hash without any problem since delivered, 2 lost half of the hashing power on day one, in fact within 30 minutes after power on
sent one of the T9+ to HK 5 weeks ago and haven't have any update since

Fewer errors for the most part, and more reliable. Some of those s9's are horrific on their reliability.
And others refuse to die. Still have my only Batch-1, 2x batch-3's and a batch-5 along with a slew of others up to batch-25. When BM stopped accepting BTC I moved to Avalons and have not looked back since.Fewer errors for the most part, and more reliable. Some of those s9's are horrific on their reliability.
Think the earliest s9 that has had even a fan die is a batch-9. After that batch- several hash board faliures and 2 fans, etc. Probably 1/2 of the s9's I have after batch 11 have been retired and replaced with the Avalons, the others get donor boards and controllers from the retired ones as-needed.

Somehow I've been around for half a year and am just hearing that Antminers don't need a RPi to control it... Mind = Boom
That is/was their only nice thing. Pure plug&Play aside from just needing to enter user & pool info. However BM software is not exactly Open Source. Ja it *is* out there but...Yeah my four s9's are a-ok...I had one board die right off the bat on one of them (but could have been a bad PSU problem)...but the rest have been fine. They're in a data center so don't have to worry about heat or exhaust issues too.

+1 on the Avalons....although it took me awhile to figure out that [censored] raspberry pi! That was one thing that the antminers had better IMO (but you had to do it for each machine).

But basically most of the software in the bitmain controller is from Canaan or modified from Canaan
Though, the nvram in the S9s controller is cheap and nasty - although not much is written on the nvram, it fails on rare occasions and you have to replace the S9 controller if you need to change any settings.
Most people with lotsa S9s keep spare controllers.

Ja it *is* out there but...That's funny...I never noticed before but batch 9 is where my S9 problems started. I have a couple of earlier batches that are still running fine but from batch 9 on I've had all kinds of problems. I have 2 of the 13.5TH/s models from February that are giving me problems now.
I'm so glad that I started buying 841s after that...I have a couple of 721s and I should have stuck to Avalon's from that point.

Ya gotta admit it is nice having the OpenWRT real-time graphs to see actual data rates and where the connections are pointed at.
Status > Realtime Graphs > Traffic > ETH0
Pretty amazing how low the actual speeds are
I really missed those when Bitmain left OpenWRT and started using their knock off of CGminer. Think the S4's were the last to use it?

I do not have S9 running. Only some remaining stable S7 which hashes just fine after the first few died out.
What do you mean by smoother?
Meaning it hashes days on end and chip status does not end up xxxxxx?

Nothing but 841s or newer for me from now on.
Same here!!! I absolutely love my 841's!!! Looking forward to seeing some new equipment from Canaan.
Great company for sure.

the good unicorn is the first batch of T9. I have few and since running non stop. 2 of them once made 183 days straight.
So is the T9+ more reliable than S9? It is cheaper per TH for expansion and faster ROI at current prices?Yeah I think it's the sweet spot for Bitmain in reliability...has less chips for less hash rate, but runs smoother.
Not sure I agree. Feels more like marketing to me. Both of my original T9s died within weeks, although their replacements have been stable.
It's probably just luck with what you get. My best BM equipment (after S5s) were four S7 Batch 1 Ants. I got them in September 2015 when the S7 first came out and they ran trouble free up until I retired them in April to get all my equipment up to the latest efficiency models. They were 4.86 models and were rock solid. Not so much for the subsequent S7s and S9s...those have been more trouble than they were worth. Nothing but 841s or newer for me from now on.

Good morning (CDT), all. Um ... I didn't wake up to a BTClock 
- I danced all night; who wasn't dancing?
I'm one of the lucky ones. I have an A741 running in the kitchen @ volt level 11, -2 offset (fan never goes above 4k RPM). Gf doesn't seem to mind at all. Especially when she sees the wallet balance. She gets happy then.
Edit: And she like the blinky lights on the USB miners, lol.
Gin on! Dance on! Mine on!
