Please explain?

Can't say I blame you. Good luck!

No one miner is a batch one. It mined for 65 days.

The other miner is a batch 10 it mined for 10 hours.

A third miner is flaky but would be a batch 3  not sure if it is going to lose a board.

At finksy.  The warranty length of 90 days and the fact that getting it honored is hard to do are both wrong.

I can live with high price for the gear although this item should be 1000-1100 with a real warranty say six or nine months.

Not a ninety day that is not easy to,get.

I purchased lots of gear from them lots and lots of gear.

S1 s3 s5 s7 s9 over 85000 usd .
I have 1 replacement s-1 issued I have a 150 dollar under hash adjustment.
I now need two replacement boards.
This is over three years of purchases and more then 75 pieces of gear.
I showed many ways,to use their gear and I have helped them this way.

But now looking at two dead boards and a flakey third one.
On low clocks never over clocked never run at high temps. I see warranty length and service as huge problem
Why buy gear that dies fast and you still can get the warranty?

Yeah the solar array is at forum member buysolar he lives four mile from my home.

Would be nice to figure it out, as I said I am not quite sure if it is diverted hash or a dying board or something in the middle of that.

Get a cheap  router DSL

Do this modem ----- original router ------ cheap router.   The phantom s9s with a different password like rootfuckyouhacker.

If all boards pop back up I would be suspecting some diversion.

Although it could be that is the first sign of a board dying and the board will die in a week or so..

I am pretty much ready to go a bit nuts over this gear.

But I now have a second dead board and it came from the mystery drop out miner.

There is one more miner that was dropping a powered board it works now but my gut tells me it will die and I will end up with three dead boards out of six miners.

pattern seems to be mystery hashing  all board used then a vanished board
can be restored behind second router
but now  one seems dead
the other shaky.

and of course the one bad one  never did  this it just went xxxxx  then 0 then zip powerless

My guess is there are stages of death for the boards not a mystery hacker.

Oh no reply on second board as to where to send it.

and no info on board one which they have had since weds.

I am not a huge player  but 85,000usd  in direct business since December 2013 should be worth something.

I never thought I would be forced back to gpu mining but I now run 20 gpus and 470 mh  mostly due to the warranty service of bitmaintech.

What kills me is I want an r4 but 1400 and 90 days for  a warranty is no deal for me.

don't forget the s-9 warranty policy is 90 days and hard to get them to honor it.


my adventures in warranty enforcement   6 s-9's 18 boards

second board died yesterday.
first board is in colorado since weds last week no info on it as of today.

second board is sitting in may batch one the warranty dies on sept 9 or 10  which is 90 days after june 12 shipping.

none of my s-9's could do stock numbers without the use of ac. so I am going to take a beating on these six units if they continue to fail.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1599630.0

I would pay them the 1400 if they had a good warranty.

But based on my 6 s-9's   having now 2 dead boards  an 11% fail rate on in 80 days the other in one day I simply can't fork out the 1400.

These are smaller chips then ever and I am beginning to think they will have a very high fail rate.

   The price is fine if it had a real warranty.  but sadly an item that won't break even for about 400 days and how long is the warranty?

Oh I now have a second dead miner board.  so 6 units 18 board 2 dead boards.

I still like the gear .
I like that they sell gear.

The price is not the issue the warranty is a real problem.

Unfortunately without real warranty protection these are almost certain to be losing items.

Okay last jump came and past

$25 a jump   If all goes well I will keep that until Jan.1

The 1.56%  I get this way.



220,755,908,330/217,375,482,757 = 1.01555108943348

which was 1.555108943348%

the winner picked 1.5

which gives him 1.5000000 - 1.5999999 % range

he was inside those number.

I round to keep the look cleaner but the actual numbers to determine the winner are not rounded.


so your picks have a much longer number then 1.5
so far we new had a true rounding issue but we were very close  like 2.60   on may 24thn

 the actual number was 2.604%  and some one said what if it were 2.5999 so we decided that the actually difficulty numbers as shown above would break ties.

So  a >>>>>     New game.

Look I do  not hate on bitmaintech.  They sell gear to anyone that pays them.  That is flat out better then most every other asic company on earth.

Avalon sometimes sells gear but they cost a bit more and do not always have the gear.

Bitmaintech is even smart in asking a ton of money  for the s-9  and the new R4.  Really good business tactic.

But they have to fix the warranty process.

I sent one board in last week it arrived on Wednesday  I do not know its status.

I have a second bad board  I want to send it in and I am awaiting an email from Yoshi to send it to Colorado vs China.

This is a bad way to encourage sales.

 I now have 4 units all running lower then stock for fear of burn out.  so 4 x 13 = 52 but I am at 4 x 11.5 = 46

I have two units with 2 boards  doing  7.5 each = 15.0 th so 61th  vs

  6 x 13 = 78th   a loss of 17th.

so between two dead boards and downclock  it is a ton of hash power lost.

It is not so much that boards die.  It is the replacement system. 

I am looking to expand  I have 3500 maybe 4000 watts   and I can't see using bitmaintech.  A dead unit can take  weeks for replacement.

Most likely I will lean towards a new gpu machine.


Maybe Yoshi will answer my email today. With good news.

Sadly  the second board is dead.

Also  sadly  no notice on the first board.

So with 6 s-9's  and 18 boards I am down 2 boards

or 16 and 2

or 88.88% good and 11.11 % bad.
 

I just emailed yoshi goto in colorado hopefully he will tell me to ship second dead board out to him today or tues day.

we use 1.5 as a short notation

I suppose next game we can write as

Yeah. When I pointed out that it was not economical at all the response to my post was shut the fuck up.

I do not think they ever sold any thing since they were a long time preorder.

Links for this mod?

I have 20 cards a mix of 480 and 470.

I am doing 470mh or about 23.5 mh on average.

I am doing about 3300 watts which is okay.

Put your address in blockchain.info look for the amount in the account.



At Marcotheminer I will continue my signature until sept third .  Thanks for the coin over the last few years.
