Title: 10x S9 all showing very slow at the pool
Post by: ukzerosniper on June 19, 2016, 07:01:47 AM
Hi Guys,

I just swapped out 6x SP30 for 10x S9 and 2x S7.

The S7 are running fine, however, the S9 are all showing <1THs at the pool for some reason.

I am mining on ghash.io and slushpool.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing that?

Thanks guys,

Can you share the screen shot of the main control panel page immediately after you log in to your S9?

Thank you!

Antminer S9 does not work at
stratum+tcp://sha256.eu.nicehash.com:3334

Click on the image

The reason is not the S9 speed
Even my double S7 working  at speed 9,5THs ,

S9 do not use Cgminer 4.8.0   Instead is  BMminer Version 1.0.0
Apparently, this is the problem.

When  Bitmain fix  this error ?



Arghhh, this must be some state-of-the-art new-kind-of mining software where Bitmain obviously did try to reinvent the wheel instead of using the working solution (aka cgminer). We'll contact Bitmain and ask them to check what kind of bugs did they introduce in Antiner S9 "BMminer" and will ask them to fix the bugs and make it compatible with NiceHash system. Thank you very much for the feedback!

His picture shows correct reason.

That is the right reason.  You can only use some BTC miningpools and not mine any Altcoins.

I have now switched to antpool and it is mining OK.

The fastest I can currently get out of any S9 is 12-13THs. 

I have found that with quite a few S9 they only run up to around 7THs at default frequency (650), however, when i turn them down to 625 they come up to 12-13THs.

Has anyone else experimented with the frequency?  Have you found any particular frequency to produce better results?

Thanks guys.

By configuration page, Bitmain was referring to the "Miner Status" page and the "Miner configuration pages".

What PSUs are you using?

this is the key question. I suspect that the s-9  is a little more demanding then the s-7 is,thus some psu's fall short at freq 650.

I am using all Bitmain 1600w PSU.

I have found that moving freq down or up doesnt seem to adjust power consumption at the wall very much but it does effect actual hash rate.

I have one miner configured at 593 and others at 650.  All hashing almost exactly the same rate and consuming almost exactly the same power.

I think Antminer increase to 700M newest batchs..

This could be up from the pool cause the network connection may be lost

its probably because of "BMminer" instead of CGminer, I'm unable to mine alt-coins with my s9 nor can i rent it out.
getting only hw errors

You realize S9 only mines bitcoins (and other few SHA256 coins)? When you say alt-coins, I assume you mean Scrypt and other protocol alt-coins.

No, hes speaking of the plethora of other SHA256 based altcoins....

BMminer is just a cgminer fork.

Looks like I have the same issue with my new Antminer S9-B2 on GHASH-IO. It shows Alive and will GetWork but all work is Rejected. The Accepted on the Miner Status Page stays at zero. The Miner works fine on Eligius and AntPool. If I put GHASH.IO as the primary pool the miner keeps trying to fall back to GHASH.IO and the hash rate is pretty bad on the other pool so it just eats electricity with low earnings.

Is the S9 the best one right now?  I would like to own some mining gear one day.  Like before the banks, Google, etc., start mining.
