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.

great, after reset, it is working now. Thank you!


good suggestion, I am going to try this. Thank you!

Mine is dead today, cannot find hashboard any more, I have rebooted and reset, still not working any suggestions? My last temperature check is 75 degree on chip, shouldn't get significantly higher than it.

What method did you use for reset?  I have found on BTC antminers that sometimes the gui reset did not do a real reset whereas using the button and rebooting it did.

I am guessing this info applies for Z9: https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957

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)

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 think after the update Snowgem is not working anymore. Can anyone confirm they are successfully mining it as of today?
I tried XSG on Zhash.pro, and although the miner shows accepted shares, i have no update on the pool. Mining since ~15 minutes.
Hello, Snowgem (XSG) is not availible for ASICs anymore, Yesterday the fork was happend in XSG network and the algo was changed to 144_5 (zhash).
For current moment only Zencash and Bitcoin Private works with ASICs on our pool. HUSH will be removed from pool and new coins will be availible

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.....

Buy S11 and make an upgrade for wife (Ver.2)

I bought a 6pc Antminer Z9 mini from Batch 3. With coupon 480USD shipped.
But you have to wait up to 70 days .. And the Z9 mini is not quiet

It is the most quiet Antminer, as far as I know - 65dB. It is not bad and my measures up to 75dB

LOL about other suggestions
yes its silent compared to S9's and blows cold lol
