It really works flawless though.  I have one and had 0 issues with it, if something goes wrong it should shutdown at 80 c.   I do have a second fan but never did attach it to it as it is working good.  It is summer and hot for many and I don't see S7-F1's burning up.... so seems to work fine.   But I do agree it takes away some safety with redundancy of having two fan's even though we have not been seeing them burn up.

I also have some decent sized fan's blowing air through my mining area to.  So guess that is part of why I'm not to worried. 

No one can say exactly for sure when you will hit profit.  To many varibles such as seem's your looking at buying in USD.  So BTC could raise in value during mining and hit quicker.   Also we don't know what difficulty will do over next month's so we speculate.  But we just don't have the info to do this even for you.

For a S3 you need very very cheap or "free" electricity at this point they are good machines just dated.   What is your electricity rate? (include fee's and taxes)

Thanks Marco I look forward to receiving it later today.  Hopefully it resets post counter at that time to.   I love this campaign as shown by being in it over a year. Not sure how much rate change you are talking but 50 percent number in the sentence scares  me.  Hope it is not that drastic.

*Edit looks like new rate is on first page now:


So not as scary as I was thinking, still best campaign around.

I'm sure he will fix it.   It would be nice if anyone is able to contact Marco though way's most of us don't have to tell him it did not reset on bot.  (If anyone has his phone/skype/etc.)

I know he will fix it but dang we were on a good streak on reset was hitting it every time automatically it seemed.   But we need a reset, hot wallet refill, and payment.

Even with these bumps it still is the best campaign  around I believe.   I or many others I'm sure would be willing to help if needed if it's a busy season for Marco and Bitcoin_Boy$ .

Ahh ok I guess the picture is old then or before the  freq change.  I thought you were in area  of 11.4ish (pictured rate) but 12.6 is much better.    Personally if it works I would keep it going at least though warranty stage.    .3T is very little hash to give up warranty over.

Either way best of luck.

I would contact them  before switching boards between unit's.  It's would break the warranty seal and be a shame to lose warranty on two pretty new unit's  over a little bit of hash.

Have you contacted them and said it did not fall in "12.93TH/s ±5%" of batch 2?  If not do that before breaking seals and voiding warranty.  

They have great service from my experiences.   They are very quick on things I have done so far.  You can contact them very easy is one thing about their great  customer service - https://bitmainwarranty.com/contact/

So there is a ticket form there you could fill out if you really need to know time frame,or there is also a phone number.  So you can contact them and get a better and more accurate anwser then me guessing  

It should fix it's self.   But I know when I spend this kinda money I always like to be sure.   If your like me email info@bitmaintech.com with all order info and how it went to expired and they will send you something back in email about situation.

Been trying to test different pool's this time I went ahead going for more time on Antpool.  You will see 3 day result's in past post- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1493601.msg15333209#msg15333209.  This was a 7 day mining test.   I am showing the machine in 6 day area as it did have a reset not sure why was not there when it happened.  But the good news is it was a good test and it recovered and started mining right back, so not a test I wanted but still reacted good to it.  The two full sized dashboard show earnings which I'm pretty happy with in 7 day's.



Below is full sized pictures of dashboard for info from pool side at 7 day's:

Below is brief version of dashboard(just shows the multi-day graph from poolside on day

Yea this is pretty far off, not sure where he got the 1 year number.   But a LOT of previous gen miners still work for people, if you treat them good they will last a long time (in most cases).

For me personally I have had many different models, they they have have had long lives.   With "normal" electricity price for lack of a better term I have to upgrade at points due to efficiency to keep mining.  My old gear then goes to a new owner with cheaper or possibly "free" electricity.   But a LOT of gear runs much longer then your 1 year data.  Just look on the boards there are still decent amount of S3 questions considering how  long they have been out.

You should be throwing this up on you network which I assume is behind a router/firewall.   So you should be good on security as you have that between the S9 and the internet.  So as long as you have that good router/firewall there should be no issues even if there was a vulnerability(which I don't think one has been pointed out and were talking in theoreticals).  

So you should be secure with your S9.  I don't see many throwing up open to internet. So for most if there is a security risk on your network the issue is bigger then your S9.  Just my feelings on it.

Well I will lock thread then.  I hope he did not take it personal I just thought with mentioning time off and password change, mixed with trying to join a campaign.   I mentioned from beginning  I was not sure.

But seems like a user who just changes password and odd timing because of it.  Again no offense meant this is why I asked if others could tell more and not accuse.   

Not really it just is that the S7 might not work  after having for higher electricity priced users (those around 10 cent's  espically higher).  But there is the S9 with a HUGE jump in efficiency which allow many to keep mining after having  that would not have been able to with S7.

So a lot still will be able to but some will need to change to more efficient machines.   We still don't  know  a  lot on exact due to BTC value fluctuating.

There was also a message about taking time off on day with 2 reset's

I was just curious saw user: Vlad2Vlad  - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=112208

He has good trust Vod's trust makes him look good there.  But if you look at security log - https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php quite a few recent password changes in short period:

June 23, 2016, 08:01:25 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed
June 23, 2016, 08:00:34 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed

On 23rd he also talks about taking time off - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=230141.msg15338123#msg15338123

And Today at 11:18:21 AM - Vlad2Vlad - password reset via email  (I'm wondering if this one was to check email worked on account).

But soon after that last reset he tried to join a sig campaign (in about 30 minutes):


So I could be completely wrong but recent password change + message on 3rd post and trying to jump into signature campaign seems odd. I wondered if anyone could tell more proving if sold account or not. And I could be completely wrong I just found above to be odd.

*Edit looking I guess he could be a user who just changes password a lot:
June 08, 2016, 01:36:01 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed
June 04, 2016, 12:30:34 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed

So I could be completely off base I just found it odd to change a  password different way then previous 4 and within 30 minutes try to join a sig campaign.   So again just asking not accusing as I have no real proof was just curious what others could tell.

The  reason it is confusing is that there are NO SPOT'S. So even if you follow directions you  will not be accepted....as 0 spots are there for you to be accepted in.   So there is not really a check due to it being full, you were not accepted by doing old sign up as again no open spots.

I  realize this is not what you want to  hear.  Many pretend to not  know it's  full  or pretend to miss  front  page which is still current:

Also can you share a picture of your network settings page? With network issues I'm just curious to see what your settings are in there.   

Did you try without wireless bridge and see what happens? (don't know if that is a option for some it might not be).   I'm really curious to see what it would do direct to router.   Or if you have another wireless bridge if you can try it.

Removed your shortlink link as I have no idea what it is and don't want other's to click on it either.  But the link of: https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3554 was proper and goes to bitmain.com.

It is for Bitmain your S9-B1 Antminer if it is running below 13.3, the affected units were primarily shipped out on June 12, 2016. (very brief version but if you fit in that read entire page).

It sounds like more then a problem, sounds like some sort of security issue.  It is NOT normal or ok for BTC address to change when being pasted.  This sounds like you have been compromised.   It might not have found it but if this is something you can replicate it sounds like virus/malware.  Does it always past same address?  If so what is it?

I would get all hot wallets off that machine if you have any.  Also if you had any private key's stored on it send coins to new safe address.  Don't sign into anything important, and if you have change password and not use it on that computer till you can find out what is happening.

I'm sure a mod will move to meta.  But they don't delete account's there are many good reasons for this.  Imagine if scammers or other "bad guys" could do a scam then just delete account.    It could be a bad thing so they across the board do not delete accounts when  users ask for it.

The best he can do is delete all posts and change email to something you have no access to with a password you will not write down.  Effectively losing access to the account, but it will not be deleted.
