First of all, the metal fan protection is removed, secondly - it somehow works. I mean temperature drops by ~ 2 degrees and noise drops ~6 dB.
I actually bought it on ebay for another Antminer.

This is not working?

That works. Nice exhaust. How is splitting it into two better than having a single 4 inch exhaust?

Hey everyone, I'm just getting my Z9s up and running and have been playing around with different pools.  So far I've tried Antpool (obviously), Nicehash, Flypool, and this morning I'm giving Mining Pool Hub a try.  I don't mind Antpool but was way more familiar with Flypool from GPU mining and the setup was really easy.  I don't know what the consensus is about Nicehash but I had the worst experience with stale shares over a 24hr period.  I'll try and post a screen shot below.  NH is great to maximize profit (in theory) with the auto switching so after learning about MPH from you all I gave it a shot this morning.  

I'd like to make sure I'm setting up my Z9s properly though so here's what I've done so far:  Signed up with MPH, read the FAQs and poked around the website, looked at the Equihash coins they support and saved wallet data for Bitcoin Gold, Zcash, ZenCash, Zclassic, and Bitcoin Cash (should I bother?).  I didn't see support for Komodo, Hush, or this newer one Commercium.  

Here's where I'm not sure, do you all suggest auto-exchanging?  Pros/cons?  

Now for the Z9 setup I have the URL to "us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023" because the 17023 is the coin-switching port for Equihash (I think I have that right).

Worker is (MPH username).()
Password is whatever I want.

Sorry for the lengthy post, let me know if I left any critical info out.  


I have been mining on Flypool (I have 0 rejected shares). I do not think, NiceHash works. I have Antpool as backup. I am at this point only mining ZEC. Very modest OC of 675MHz (14.8 kSols) with board temperatures 64C, fan 70%. I put a "muffler" on my Z9 because my wife (mining at home in a dedicated room with GPU based systems) is sensitive to the noise :-)


can you take a photo and post it here for that muffler setup, I am building something to lower the sound also, was look for good ideas, It will be nice to see it,
Thanks,

Here is what I am putting on the intake fan:

Z9 makes a lot of noise compared to GPU (although better than S9), impossible to put at home unless you have a garage you can put it.

I hope that it is not off topic but I am wondering if anyone else is thinking to get an Antminer Z9 mini from the second batch. I know that it is risky and chances to ROI might be very low but it costs now $850-250 (coupon) = $600 and the chances of Zcash forking this year are low. I like the miner: low power usage, low noise, small. In the worst case scenario, I will have $600 paper weight (or I will lose the prepayment). What do you think? I cannot imagine running S11 or anything else requiring > 1200 W with the noise level > 76 dB at home (I will actually need another upgrade to my fuse panel and I am risking the wrath of my wife  Grin). What do you think? I was contemplating getting FPGAs from Senseless or Mineority but it is a lot of money and unknowns. In my mind, GPU mining is dead (I am mining practically only Ether now)

Here are my results from seven days mining BTG on MPH. Overclock is 750 and power draw is right around 400w at the wall. Temps have remained steady between 66 and 68. I am headed out of town and have yet to set up SSH with my Z9 so I am switching to Zen on mph in anticipation of the BTG fork on Sunday.

Also, I just realized that the Bitmain coupons for a batch 1 Z9 expire in just a few weeks. That is some BS if I've ever seen it. I'm on the fence about whether or not to pick up another one. I imagine that as soon as the $250 coupons expire the big Z9 will be released. I hate to lose out on the coupons though.

I'm in the same boat. What did you decide to do? I agree with everything you said.

I have a chance to pick up a Z9 in about a week or so, but I'm not sure I want to spend the $$.  I recently built my own pool for solo mining.  Can somebody who owns a Z9 test my personal ZCL pool?  basementpool.org:8082 . the mining ports for ZCL are 3232 3233 and 3234.  Thanks in advance!

Edit*** Changed the pool to https, it's now https://zcl.basementpool.org
Ports are still the same (variable) with the highest initial difficulty on 3234.

Last 24hrs of mining zcl and the equihash switching netted $23.82 worth of btc atm

I think zen had low difficult the last day was because of the fork.

Here''s something positive about our z9 purchase -- on may 5th btc was $9800 now its $6250 that like getting 33% off in todays btc value

What kind of results are you getting on different pools/algo's with your z9?

I tried BTCP on viciousminer pool and only earned about $17 equiv/day dispite projected earning of $25-30, then tried miningpoolhub mining zcl and was earning about $1/hr there and am now on miningpoolhub equihash switching and too early to tell earnings.
Try ZenCash on https://zen.zhash.pro/

Form Z9 today 1.9 ZEN (~31$)
AVG earnings 1.6-2  Zen per day



Wow that's really good man, Whattomine is only projecting 1.5zen at 15k sols, you are getting 20% more which is great.

Once I increase the frequency, it stopped again and on the main page it now says "Hardware Version: Socket connect failed: Connection refused"

I cannot see the temperature now because the it does not show any hashboard.


The control is fine, I can still connect to it, but I can't see the hash related information again and the fan is running at maximal. I did the reset with gui. I am not with the machine, so I will have a hard-reset when I am back tonight.


Ouch.  What freq did you overclock it to and for how long? Auto fan?

656Mhz, I moved it to a new place because it is too noisy to put at home, it has been running for less than 12 hours since move. Fixed fan rate until this noon, I see the temperature increased to 79 then I switched to auto fan.
That is a shame... is it a board hash down or control board?.. if board.. it could just be seeking freq...or power can cause them to loose a board... keep doing cold reboots (thats pull the power out the PSU and restart it.. I have alot of S9's and i learnt the hard way.. self taught...
Ps are all 3 boards down? or just 1?

What are the current chip temps? I was playing with how quiet I could make mine by backing off the fan speed. I noticed when I hit 74, it stopped mining (according to Miner Status page - Summary). I increased the fan speed to lower the temps and it started mining just fine.

My point is that if your chip temps are still in the 70's with the fan at auto, you need to back down the OC to bring them down  so that it will start mining again.

I had the same issue, took down the OC to default and all restore stuff and nothing heloed. Then I changed pool and it all came back.....

FWIW ZEC foundation voted yesterday not to pursue asic resistance so ZEC will be asic minable for the near future.  With all the asics pointed at it who knows if it will be worth the cost of electricity to mine it

I do understand but I do not see a better alternative for home mining. SHA256 miners are too much of power hungry beasts with low (and dropping) profitability. Ether mining may be not profitable at all soon, FPGAs look good now but it will change soon (and they are expensive now), GPU mining is becoming hectic and not really profitable. ASIC miners make sense but I doubt that I could get anything low power that is profitable, to buy by July 15 (coupons expire). What do you do, these days about mining challenges?
