I'm assuming we would all send money to bittawm, who would then pay iBelink. What forms of payment do you accept, bittawm?

I've never done a group by on here but have been interested in getting one of these. What is your preferred method of payment? Crypto, paypal, other?

Thanks.

I certainly would want inno and halong to stop producing units, but they're in it to make money, just like all of us are. So if they can keep selling them, I'm not sure we should really fault them for it. Every person mining should know that the higher probability of making a profit is to buy the coin instead of mine it. But personally, I enjoy doing some of both. My biggest hope is that Inno and Halong don't reduce the price of these miners so that everyone can get one for $1000.

Thanks for the info, but these didn't work. I also tried these combinations [root][admin]\[innod9][dragonadmin][t1t2t3a5d9].

I'm investigating setting up solo mining with my ASIC. I've downloaded decrediton and sync'd the block chain. I also see that the dcrd process is running. I can't seem to find any help on anything else related to setting up solo mining. Can someone give me the jist or point me to a tutorial?

I am also interested in a D9 firmware update. More control over fan settings and information on voltage and frequency is also helpful for environmental tuning since the auto-tune feature does not work.

Yea, the pool-rated hashing varies significantly. I started out with luxor and I'm on coinmine now. Pretty similar results, although I prefer coinmine since they have a lot more statistics and you can set your payment values. On coinmine, I vary anywhere from 1.1 Th/s to 3.2 Th/s. Essentially a +/- 50% swing.

I have a Inno D9 so my firmware may be a little different. I don't have an option for performance or balance mode. However, after 47 hours of running, I have a total of 685 HW errors.

I've wondered about the temps also. For each of my ASIC miners that I get, I usually write a python script to monitor certain statistics of the miner so that if something goes out of range, I'm notified of it immediately. In doing this, I found that the three temperatures were labeled Average, Min, Max. My fan percentage fluctuates between 60% and 95% but it seems that the firmware attempts to keep the max temperature no more than 77 for me. Currently, at 75 max, it's pulling about 830W. I'm getting an average hash rate of 1.95 Th/S over the last two days on coinmine even though the firmware constantly reports 2.36 Th/S. I would have liked more control over the fan duty and the voltage configurations. FWIW, I did do the calibration when I first got it and left it Auto-tuned for a while, but now I have turned auto-tune off. I'm not sure I noticed a difference either way.

As for laying the miner on its side, I have not tried it. I have it sitting up-right.

Kadal, they are ALL currently from China until Obelisk comes out. It's easy to throw popcorn from the stands...

I ended up going through minersdeals.com. You can see what their current price is for "in stock" D9's and I chose to use paypal via CC so I paid a 2.9% fee on top of their price. In this case, it was well worth it to me. There were some inventory problems to begin with and I was a little worried in the middle of the process, but they had great communication with me through the entire time and they came through for me. I had originally wanted to order two D9's, but decided it was too much risk so I only ordered one.
In terms of short term profits, the D9 was kind of an interesting situation. Obviously, Halong released theirs first, but at over $10K. If you take into account that they only released theirs 30 days before Inno did, but Inno shaved off $3K you have a similar net effect of profit with a little less risk based on future orders. I also feel that because the price was so high on these, that reduced the number of people willing to take the risk on an algorithm that isn't in the top 10 for currencies. Between the B29 from Halong and the D9 from Inno, these were the first ASICs for the coin, as opposed to something like Litecoin that's had several generations of ASICs alright. Because of this, the leap in hashing power vs the current difficulty was significant. I don't see this happening very often for established generation ASICS (e.g., Litecoin). I was actually surprised that Bitmain's Z9 isn't more of a leap in hashing power vs the current difficulty. That's why I didn't get that one. I feel that there's a strong possibility that someone is going to release the next/improved Z9 version. Similar to how Bitmain's A3 for Sia came out just before Halong announced the B52.

Threatening isn't going to work because you have no leverage in this battle. They have your money and your device. No legal recourse since they're in China. If you do have leverage, I'd be very interested in knowing what it is in case I wind up in the same hardship. I almost went down the road of ordering through Inno directly, but I ended up going with a US-based vendor and paid via Paypal where I had options if something like this happened. I paid a little bit of a surcharge, but I've had my d9 since Wednesday. Hearing these stories I will never order directly through Inno. They don't seem to have any business integrity whatsoever. Probably the only reason the devices work is because they were designed and built by Halong.

Regarding configuring the decred miner to nicehash's stratum server, I contacted them before I received mine and they said,

*****************
Hello!

I can tell you that we do not support Innosilicon miners. We have not had any known experiences with Halog B29 yet.

Kind regards,
NiceHash Team
*****************

I've also attempted to configure my D9 to the nicehash stratum. It resolved as "alive" but it was rejecting every share. Unfortunately, nicehash doesn't seem to know that the D9 (inno) and the B29 (halong) are the same miners.

I would hope that the more people complain about this, the more they'll do to support the D9 and B29 on the decred stratum.

I'm also interested to know if anyone received their tracking number yet from inno.

Please let us know when you receive your tracking information.
