Title: AntMiner S9
Post by: fine on December 18, 2017, 08:57:19 AM
Hi. I want to know the power rating of the AntMiner.
 S9. Basically I have access to a system and the owner said I can use it one or two days of the week. But I need to pay him for the power used during those days for which I need to know the power rating and how to calculate the amount for 2 days.

The total power consumption of the device works out to around 1350 watts, although this figure is subject to about 7% of variance. The S9 consumes about 300W more than the S7.

Assume it's going consume 80 KWh (Killowatt Hours) for the 48 hours you use the S9. It should actually come in less than that. You need to find out what he'll charge you for that (i.e. what the electricity rate is). If it's isn't profitable, then the actual consumption won't matter. I assumed the S9 will use 1666 Watts at the wall. That should be high, but it isn't high by more than 10-15%.

Will he let you point the S9 at the pool of your choice for 48 hours?
