you need to host your images else where, imgur.com is what most people use and its free.
They will give you a link to attach to a post and Boom you're good!...lol
Cool! Thanks for the info bro! I will try it out!  |

I've had my 8 s9's for about 6 months now so far I've had to change 1 control board and from what it looks a second one will be going out soon as well as 1 hashing board that I have to send for repair now and not to mention that 2 or 3 ( don't remember) s9's have completely failed on me , that was within the guarantee time so I got them repaired for free but at the same time I had to pay around $70 to send each unit back by EMS and wait for about a month and a half to get it back. It took them around 2-3 weeks just to confirm that they've received them. Now that they have a repair center in the U.S I'm sure that things might be faster but I don't know. In my case from what it looks the control boards keep going out when the electricity keeps getting shut off very often or because of spikes, I think it can even brake just from some static electricity so I wouldn't recommend you touching it too much. It is important to have a good power supply so don't be stingy and get a good one right away or it will cost you more later and having an extra power supply is a good idea as well as having an extra control board so that if one of these 2 brake you won't loose BTC, waiting or even looking for them. Waiting for some parts or for your unit to get repaired is the worst thing! I hope I didn't discourage you too much but it is the reality. I keep my miners as cool as I can but where I'm located even with a special cooling system I can only have the room temp at around 27c and max I try not to get it go beyond 31-32c and I can tell you that at 27c they seem to work a lot more stable and even put out more hash. Hope that helped! Happy mining! Thats great, very useful information. Much appreciated. Its not put me off, but I do have a spare 3kw UPS system laying about, I'll run it through that, along with a good PSU. My room temp is around 27deg C here. Windows open trying to keep the office cool, and that just with 1 x S5, lol. Going to be a different climate with the S9, good job its winter coming. Is your s5 pretty close to the window? If yes then you should really consider buying some adapters like this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antminer-s1-s2-s3-s4-s5-s7-s9-L3-zeus-lightning-thunder-fan-duct-shroud-cooling/172818525966?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D47507%26meid%3D8ef6d894d301473da4a6eeadbd253b44%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D172227933822&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851And connect some flexible ductings like this to every miner; http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-inch-x-8-ft-Flexible-DUCTING-duct-exhaust-fan-blower-dryer-hose-aluminum-feet-/160970919201?epid=679962407&hash=item257a9d4d21:g:HSQAAOSw~uhUnYAhAnd just stick them out the window or better make a window insert out of wood and cut some holes in it and stick these hoses into holes. I'll show you how I have it done as soon as I find out how to load a picture here in the forum from my ipad. I got couple of laptops but I barely use them, only for connecting my Ledger wallet, other than that my ipad is like my second right hand, always with me! Hehe. |

It can get annoying and pretty expensive keeping the s9's in tip top shape! I'm glad that I got a couple control boards now so that I won't have to wait if another one goes out.
Are S9's prone to failing? what tends to go wrong? what causes it? I guess heat wont help with the life. I have ordered a new S9 and reading this post has got me wondering, when is it likely to go wrong? will it last a year? or is it more like 6 months? ... s9's ... Now that they have a repair center in the U.S I'm sure that things might be faster but I don't know. ... BitmainWarranty repairs in the US is not covered by Bitmain's warranty. If the S9 is within warranty, you have to send it back to Bitmain in China to (possibly) get free repairs. If you send it to BitmainWarranty, you have to pay no matter what, unless you bought it from BitmainWarranty. Oh, I see. I didn't know that, although in my case I think it might still be cheaper to send to U.S since it is closer to me, that way I would save on timing but then again it all depends how much they would charge for the repair.  And guys can someone please tell me if it is possible to load pictures from ipad into this forum? When I click the picture icon it doesn't seem to do anything beside adding a couple of IMG words to the text. Thanks! |

I hear you man! It can get annoying and pretty expensive keeping the s9's in tip top shape! I'm glad that I got a couple control boards now so that I won't have to wait if another one goes out. I haven't got time to send mine off yet, besides it still puts out like 650mh with the 48 chips still doing some work, although I would think that it should put out more than that because there are 63 chips in total. I'll try to send it before the end of the week for repair and let you know how it goes. Good luck and Mine On! |

What kind of hashrate have you guys been getting out of the S9 14TH have you found them to be +/- that by much?
Are the 14 TH/s shipped yet? Got a 13.5 TH/s S9 earlier this month, and reality is more like 13.737 TH/s. Yeah, I have t got my 14th's yet. Should be getting them around 15 of October . 13.5 is the only ones I have too. |

Wow, you managed to change that board quick! I'm still only getting ready to ship the faulty hashing board I got!  |

Thanks for the heads up. I really want to get one. I have signed up to the Bitmain website, can I just watch and wait till 2pm(their time) and get it in the shopping cart or is the ordering done another way?
Yes you can place the order now. Be quick, it will not last long. Thanks, I have ordered one. , will certainly be an upgrade from the S5 i'm running. Elected to pay via USD transfer (as not enough bitcoins yet), so must nip to the bank within 7 days to get that completed No problem guys, glad I could help. I will try to let you know every time when they release a batch. |

Noob question here, but is it OK if I change my payout address to my kraken account? I've heard a couple of you guys say its better to have a payout address to an exchange rather than a wallet. Is this true?
Yes it is perfectly fine as long as you can withdraw your btc without any problems, I've had my rewards sent to poloniex before and every time when I tried to withdraw my btc it kept getting stuck in some kind of manual check needed and I had to wait for like a day! Coinbase is perfectly fine too! . |

Block! Guess everyone is sleeping. LOL  I'm awake! Lest go for couple more today! |
|
|

Under 666% The Goddess has heard you Kano! |

|
Blooooooooooock!!!!!!! 13 btc by Blockmines! Finally!  |
|
|
|
Maybe some CK solos will get impatient waiting for a block now and jump in the pool with us? Or the other way around! Lucky bastards! Lol |
|
|
|
OK time to call in another anime Goddess and request help from her - Nagi:  Click for a bigger version. (That image has been part of my desktop for many years) About time Kano! |
|
|
|
Last time I posted a BLOCK was found, so let's see if I have the magical touch. Please make at least a couple of posts then! |
|
|
|
Kano, 70hours no blocks. I think it might be a good time to ask your Goddess for help, she helped us last time! |
