Couldn't get it connected to Luxor pool for some reason. Followed their instructions and updated the worker name to my DCR wallet address and it wouldn't connect but I'm connected to Coinmine just fine.
What's your average hash rate for your miners?
If you check the other Halong B29 thread, I've got my settings posted there and you can see the format I have it in. Should work for you if you want to Luxor it up. My average is around 1.9-2 TH poolside, below what the GUI shows (2.3-2.36). I hope this is rectified in a future firmware update. |

Surprise, surprise!!! but not really.
Plugged in the D9, scanned for IP and lookie there - DragonMint. Typed in the IP address and the DragonMint GUI appears.
Followed the Luxor directions to add the DragonMint B29, entered the worker which looks like a wallet address followed by .whateveryouwanttocallit
Entered the worker (wallet) address on the Search bar on Luxor, once connected, pulled up statistics and it immediately had an unpaid balance as well as Paid Rewards of 1.17 DCR. Miner Reward Transactions has payments processed 13 days ago and a few payments a month ago. I presume this is the "testing" that occurred with this miner but who would have guessed on Luxor's pool. More importantly, this would tell me that this worker (wallet) address does not belong to me and needs to be changed.
If this worker (wallet) address belongs to someone else (Innosilicon), I need to change the worker name to my address I created on Decrediton, right? I don't see an option to set a payment wallet address so I'm assuming you have to configure the miner to your wallet so you're not mining free coins to someone else.
Can someone please confirm if I need to change the worker name under Settings / Pools? Or what I need to do, thanks in advance.
Yes. You want to align your miners to your account (For instance, mine are Dimaze.001, Dimaze.002, ect), the payout address in the account settings is the one the pool pays out to. Happy mining  |

Hi, I will be receiving my miner within 4 days. Can someone let me know which pool would be the best to mine for D9?
Thanks.
I've had most success on coinmine. |

Can you give an update on whether or not you still like coinmine the best after mining with them almost a month?
I was leaning towards coinmine over Luxor pool due to the higher fees but I read a comment that Coinmine wasn't computing their hashing power correctly or their coin payout wasn't adding up.
Curious to learn any other insight (pros/cons) you can provide from the mining pools you've tried and why you like Coinmine the most. Thanks in advance!!
Still on coinmine. Has the most consistent payouts. None of the pools have completely accurate hashrate. It all seems a bit below spec at the pools, even though GUI shows otherwise. Laying the units on the side helped temps a bit. Get to mining when you get them |

Decrediton is a pretty good wallet too. Recent update was a nice one! 1.2.0
As for these units, they're all sitting around waiting to be fulfilled. 27-30th advertised delivery didn't come around, neither did the shipping timeframe.

As for release timings, they are spot on to secure relative batch profitability. Good work to Halong & Inno for making sure that end of things is in order!
They appear to be out of stock now, with a message indicating a new batch will be in stock soon. Let's see how the deliveries go -- No one I know has received a tracking number yet however, it is already the 28th in HK.
Margins may still be in danger if any other manufacturers flood the market with Decreds, it could turn into a dash situation fairly quickly if Bitmain floods the market with Decred miners for instance.

You should email them back at the confirmation email you received. Miner_order@ email works well for me to get a hold of them.

I agree. I hope all the dragon units have this functionality eventually.

I think it would be nice if anyone built a sub-KW miner ever again, since not everyone has 1600W PSUs laying around.
That'd be nice for beginners. Best bet right now is to detune existing ones, unfortunately these don't offer precise tuning yet. |

Many thanks for your good suggestion. We have accepted your proposal after applying with our manager.  Thank you a lot~ Hi! Since you're taking suggestions, I would recommend a payment system similar to how Halong has theirs. They accept Wires, BTC, BCH, LTC, ETH, XMR, DCR, USDT, and more, many of which reflects the actual miners they sell. The prices they have don't have a surcharge either. It's been the smoothest and widest optioned payment system I've ever utilized. Your pricing just recently was 1.2 BTC for 1 unit, that is nearly a 60% surcharge with BTC! Over 11000 USD for a miner that retails at 6800?  While we all know that cryptos are highly speculative, as one of the leaders in the industry, I'd encourage you to do likewise and equalize your pricing to the current market trends. Your last movement of your inbound account was on 4/10, so you're speculating anyways - but you shouldn't do it at the expense of surcharging crypto customers as much as you are. This drives customers away. Good luck otherwise! I'm eager to see the next generation units. |

They said T2's are going on sale when T1's ship out.
I'm mixed on the integrated PSU, leaning towards liking it. Quicker setup time!

https://halongmining.com/blog/2018/04/24/dragonmint-t1-manufacturing-update/Some other exciting news is, during the process of fine tuning, we also ran a parallel PCB board design to see if we could squeeze any more efficiency and we ended up with the next model of DragonMint, the T2. This has 68 chips per hashboard, rather than 63 of the T1. The miner is confidently 17TH and above, averaging 17.5TH and above. Efficiency is still being tuned in firmware, and as we are seeing it, range between 93W/TH and 100W/TH at the wall right now.
The T2 has an integrated power-supply, so the device is now plug and play – no more fiddling with long power cables from the PSU, nor will the cables potentially get in the way of the fan airflow.
Here's the current hashing boards on the T1, they are adding 5 additional chips and integrating a PSU:

Halong's Manufacturing Statement here: https://halongmining.com/blog/2018/04/24/dragonmint-t1-manufacturing-update/Interesting tiblets: Some other exciting news is, during the process of fine tuning, we also ran a parallel PCB board design to see if we could squeeze any more efficiency and we ended up with the next model of DragonMint, the T2.

There's the unused chip slots being used! From my teardown, there are 10 available chip slots. So I'd say T3 may be a fine tuned variant of the T1, with all the chips. Lot of power consumption though, I don't think the current iteration PSU's can support them being fully populated. Maybe on efficient settings. Here's the available slots: https://i.imgur.com/N2ya4s6.jpg

It's always highly speculative in the alt markets. The X series for instance got discontinued by Halong (although inno sells it now too), and the Bitmain ones were late to market in comparison. You never know if there's going to be an algorithm change either, but that's something to continue watching.
I'm happy with my Halong Decreds, but this Inno offering is disappointing with the sad surcharge on BTC purchases.
