Awesome, thanks for that information! It is amazing. I would need to spend $308,0000 approximately to get the 230 S9's @ 13.5Th/s to achieve that      Imma get right on that  

How much hashing power do you need to get 1 BTC per block?

My new s9 shipped friday so should be here soon!

Grats! Mines only a couple weeks old, no blocks hehe Just got notice Bitmain is sending my April 25th batch today, woot!

Sounds good, I was just kinda thinking out loud lol, didn't intend to start a for sale thread   

Not sure I can calculate that offhand as I run several miners, but it is getting (stats from Kano):

Worker   13.259k   7s   9,058   120,100,022   15.76THs   11m 48s   0.099%   0.040%   13.92THs

I know this month, with all my miners, I have made around  $265

Whelp, I was able to get an order in for the April 25th Batch of S9's @ 13Th so i will soon be adding another s9 to my motley crew and save up to get one of the 14Th+ ones if they have another batch in the future.

At this point I can probably phase out my S5's, sell em on Ebay. Someone with cheaper power can put them to better use than I. Just run two S9's (At 13.5 and 13TH) and 2 S7's @ 5Th give or take.

You haven't heard bitching until it hits 60 hours! 

43 hours! honestly WTF! 

I suppose a PC Power & Cooling 1200W PS is not sufficient to run an ANTminer S7 at the standard frequency?

Hey guys, how can I get faster speeds with this miner and my two Nvidia GeForce 980 GTX cards? I install the latest CUDA drivers and this just seems slow, I mean really slow. I found if I install just the GeForce drivers, then the miner doesn't work because it doesn't have CUDA, I install the driver with CUDA and the hash rate drops from 40 to 3 Mh/s. What can I do to get a decent speed?

I hope you all don't mine asking, but I am setting up this miner and i have a few questions. I am not seeing any activity on the PASCL side from the pool, but the miner looks like it is processing PASCL and ETH packets. How can I confirm it is working?

Also, I am running XFX RX 480 card, what is a good driver to use for the best speed? it doesn't look like the 15 series is current.

Is there anything I can add to my batch file to increase performance? i haven't messed with the BIOS yet as I have had a few issues getting more than 5 cards to work. I tried 7 then 6 then 5 and finally got the 5 stable, I hate to jinx me in trying again to add the other two cards. I X'd some stuff out I thought might not be best shared public but here is the batch file I am using.
