Sounds like we can service you out of Iceland. That be closer and cheaper than round trip to USA from UK. Do you happen to travel to Iceland by any chance? please email support@bitmainwarranty.com with subject "S9 PCB Repair - Iceland" Also, when you email, please take pictures of the hash PCB close up front and back as well as the Big White Label with barcode) Also, the area near the PCIE power plug front and the back. Thank you! Hi. Lost my first S9 hash card on Saturday. My miner is out of warranty, suppose my luck ran good. Ive had the card out, no missing heat sinks, no burning only showing 9 ASICS. Im in the UK, am I best to go with the repair guys in the USA (Colarado)  ? I hear there could be a place in the Ukraine but cant find details for them. Dont fancy shipping back to HK due to the horror stories on here. Flamer. Thanks, Iceland was suggested but I struggled to find any details. Thanks for the tip to get an email to them. |

BitmainWarranty also has a location in Iceland. You could ask them if that could work out.
That sounds better. Struggling to find Contact Details. Ill probably ring the USA later on thisafternoon and find out. Thanks. |

Just for some background :-
Swapped power supplies
Swapped port on controller card
Swapped cable.
Swapped blade into other miner.
No red polling light on this blade, other X2 blades show comms.
Checked Buck Inverter, not loose.
Definately issue with this blade.
Dont understand why it shows X9 ASICS (as the blade does not appear to poll from controller)
Im pretty confident the blade is dead.
Im guessing after removing lots of crap from the heat sinks when I stripped it Sat, its my fault.
Im going to strip the other S9's and clean them out later today.

Thank you guys, we have had some payments now, and redirect 32 workers at 400 TH, and more to come. I hope this will help out P2pool.  It certainly will, we need just a bit more Hash then the magic will happen again! |

Whew...Now it's time for the luck to turn around! That "Hitting a block" feeling never gets old I sure hope so! |
|

Yeah where, fingers crossed chance comes and luck turns real soon. Nail biting times, looking at earnings selling on miningrigrentals then closing down the browser window. Inset of panic....... Its a long one but after a long one should come a few short ones. Im hanging in here, its killing me but im hanging on in here. Gonna kill me a while longer but im still gonna hang on here...... |

Was nice for the pool to get a block earlier today.
Good for the variance to drop a little.
Anyone owning up to this one?

I don't think p2pool works for small miners anymore.
I have 50GH/s pointed at p2pool.org for a couple of weeks now, and it hasn't found a single share. The miner stats say around 20hours estimated time for a share, yet hundreds of hours have passed without one.
The high variance for small miners is why we developed the NastyPoP payout method, where even the smallest miners get paid fairly for their contributions to p2pool. I'd recommend checking it out. We charge 0% fees and even add 0.75% of the NastyFans weekly distribution to be split among NastyPoP miners to provide a >100% payout. https://nastyfans.org/nastypool/That's a really good idea, I'll certainly pass the details on if this comes up in other places. I'm ok with a decent hash rate but there are still loads of people this would benefit, and it helps p2Pool as well. |

I have a couple of questions.
1) How to configure my p2pool node as a full node that accepts incoming miners and properly reimburses them?
2) What in the HE double tooth pics happened between p2pool.in and p2pool.org? There seems to be something weird that happened and no search I have done on google or bitcointalk seems to provide any history or background. I went with the information provided by p2pool.org when I noticed the p2pool.in stats page appears to have stopped working sometime in 2015 between January and March. Being as it is now January 2017 it appears that p2pool.in was no longer providing network stats. Further research shows that p2pool.in was merged into p2pool.org's info when the GIT repository was changed from p2pool/forestv to p2pool/p2pool . Unfortunately there are still several places where there are dire warnings about using p2pool.org verses p2pool.in on various webpages and even on the old GIT for forestv. I heard references that forestv had taken a leave due to personal issues but I have not seen any official retraction stating that p2pool.org is ok to use.
The confusion surrounding question 2 needs to be addressed as I am thinking it is blocking many miners from choosing to go with p2pool in any form. Contradictory information often does not lead to wrong action, it leads to no action.
If this is too personal or touchy a subject then please email me with a response at dzimmerm56"at"g m a i l . c o m. (you will need to intelligently fix the addy, but I know all of you are intelligent)
Hi. I have only been running a node for a month now but mining p2Pool on and off for a while now. I've decided to mine p2Pool for the forseable future. Most of what you need to know can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153232.0And here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62842.0I run my node under Centos rather than Ubuntu. It's not that difficult to do and most of the info in the first link, whilst a little old is still applicable. It took about a week to fine tune my node and it runs really well. I'm at www.ukp2pool.uk and it's a free public node. Give it a try on an old PC first if you don't have much experience with Linux just to make sure you can. If you have any questions then post up here I'm sure the community will help. No issues using git pull from the two links I posted. I have the latest version from here have no problems. I believe p2Pool.org is forest's site not sure about the other one. I've come across it and the stats are years old. The pool is very much alive and well, just needs more Miners so jump aboard. Don't let the variance between blocks worry you, sit back and smile with a decent pay out. Both p2Pool.org and the other are just nodes on the network, just like mine. There is no master node anywhere, under the hood they are all the same. |

I'm interested in the dead S7 hash card. Would you quote shipping to U.K. please? And tell me is it burned or just stopped hashing? |

I do not know if you guys remember the ZX Spectrum computers? I am looking for this one for a friend :  He wants it as a display piece in his study, but if it works... it would be a added bonus. Let me know if you can help. Requirements : Good condition {working or not} and proof that you actually own it.  Price : negotiable PM me, if you are serious and a escrow can be arranged for the transaction. Blast from the past, I had a ZX81 when in primary school, such a long time ago! |

Verrrry interesting.... I also got my bad R4 last Thurs the 19th... Wonder how many other flaky ones were in that lot... re: s9's, I have 16 of them from batch-1 on up and only have had 2 boards fail. One was from the b1 (failed last Oct.) and another was from a batch-12 and in-Warranty. Had both repaired/replaced by Bitmain Warranty in CO -- yes even the in-factory warranty one (was faster, fully insured, etc.). Oh, and again: I highly recommend Awesome Miner. Free up to 4 miners and well worth the scaled price if you have more. It will check the miners and restart CGminer (BMminer) which sometimes hangs and if you set thresholds can also fully soft-boot the miner when hashrate drops or other things arise. Yeah I purchased awesomeminer last week, it's a great front end for a mining farm! Saves so much bother..... |

But you can see the pool luck or not ?
Would be nice to know how windpath coded the stats page on p2Pool.org. I would like to duplicate those extra stats on my node some place. Useful information to know. If you dig back through this thread I shared most of the calculations the node uses. The PITA is setting up, populating, and then updating a DB... Managed to get the node back up remotely, not sure what happened, will review the logs on Monday. Ok cool I'll certainly have another trawl through. I've gone over a lot of this thread already but was more than likely looking for something else and missed it. Don't mind a database challenge now and again |

Nice to wake up to a block.
Even better to find it was one of my S9's that did it!
My first ever block wow that feels so good.
Very early S9 running rip off miner 1.0.0 never thought they could do it!
I upgraded the firmware to the latest non auto tune this week, maybe it was that maybe it was just chance!
Not bad for transactions and fees on my node either.
Glad to have not driven max block size down to much or restricted fees to much.
Finally looks like the hours of node tweaking have paid off as well.
That was a long drawn out one, thanks to those who kept the hash here, even I was starting to get cold feet.
After buying a decent rack server to create a UK based node I guess that's kept me in the long haul.
We could do with some more Miners on p2Pool to improve on variance but overall still another good payout even for such a long duration!
Congratulations! Did you have rebates or put everything from your pocket? I gambled a lot on rental hash earlier in the week and last weekend. All those shares fell out the chain way before this block. I probably made a few dollars profit. I'm not doing any more rental hash. Every time I think something will happen it never does. I'm not a gambling man and I started getting into rental deep then realised what I was doing. I think my time to educate people about bitcoin and mining p2Pool is worth more than rental hash any day. Even with the low hash rate and high variance p2Pool still pays me more than any other pool. Fingers crossed the block gods give us a chance of a good run for a while now. |

My shares have fallen off the sharechain. Taking a break from renting hash. Will keep my node running for a while in case anyone wishes to mine on it. I will give advanced notice if I decide to stop running the node in the future. Best wishes everyone Current round pool luck floats very much. I've seen round luck at 20% once a few months ago.  [[f9.thumbsdown]] Best wishes to you too Do not be discouraged (y) Im holding in here when our chance comes it will come. Im also sure when the tide turns we will have a better run for a while. Would be nice to try and get a few more people to drop onto p2pool for the long term ride. Im sure lots of people who buy miners don't have a clue how to change pool and think they can only mine at antpool. |

I believe in you two, flameruk, and tubexc, now go find the block asap  By the way flameruk, your node looks great too! www.ukp2pool.uk:9332I bet it would work well with people who wish to rent from nicehash instead of westhash. Humm I don't think so. My ping request timed out ( from Portugal ) Node must be blocked or firewalled Tubexc- Can you access the node dashboard from the link? Try a miner for a few minutes my ping time is wrong at the moment. Let me know results and I'll work on it. Looking to improve. I do run pfblocker and snort at the firewall but I'll check, I don't remember Portugal being blocked. Edit - Portugal is open by default. I'm working on ping as the ping time shows badly it's actually a very fast node and connection. This is the way pfsense handles it not sure how to fix it yet. If you throw a miner on board however it's a different story! I've had some USA rental hash this weekend ran a dream even so far away. If I ever get time I have a block of IP addresses for our network, I'll set the node up to a separate IP and just not firewall it, it can have a public facing IP and I'll handle the rest in Centos on the server. Done! It's on line see how you get on and let me have feedback. Any improvements I can make can only be good for the community! Apart from not being able to know how many shares I have in your node. It seems to me that everything is working well and with good average. Hope it was a good test! Yes thanks held up very well. |
