Hey Phil  what is the story with this thread?   Did you ever finish any tests?
405  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: How low can it run? What's it? the batch 10 S-9 on: August 21, 2016, 04:39:28 PM
So Phil  I found this post of yours:  filled with quotes  it is like you knew you were going to get burned:


Man. With all these complaints I guess Im glad I didnt get one of these miners.
philipma1957 definitely knows what hes doing, so there would be no hope for a noob like me to get this running properly lol.
I guess I would consider their "warranty" useless at this point...



Yeah I'm not spending over 100 to ship it to Hong Kong .

I will pester Yoshi from bitmainwarranty. See what he can do.

No luck with s9 repairs through bitmain warranty, they forwarded my gear to Hong Kong. Hopefully they are able to soon.

Yes, I contacted Bitmain Warranty in Colorado this week regarding my dead S9 board and a bad BB Black board. They said they had no repair parts for S9, but maybe soon.
So I bit the bullet yesterday and sent them both to China. It wasn't cheap. Sad I better get back some fixed (new) parts.



Now back on this date  right here in this quote  I gave them a solution to their warranty problems:


 Lets face it  we all know about bitmaintech and the warranty issues they have.

@ bitmaintech  here is a suggestion offer no warranty option  and if a buyer takes it give he a coupon to use on a future miner.  If the buy wants the  warranty don't give them a coupon.

This way  the buyer will not take you up on the warranty problems you have.  Since you don't honor them anyway.

I certainly would rather buy an s-9 with no warranty  and you give me a 10% coupon on my next s-9.
Then no one is in suspense about the warranty.

I would think you see that ETH and ETC are doing pretty well.

Mostly many people like buying from
 intel
amd
 nvidia
samsung
western digital

to get mining gear with real warranties.

A very good   eth rig costs less then your s-9 ,uses less power ,earns btc faster , runs quieter, has a real warranty.

Thank you for the suggestion philipma1957, we will consider it.





406  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: How low can it run? What's it? the batch 10 S-9 on: August 21, 2016, 02:34:31 PM
And as noted  in the main s9    one board up and died.

Happened when I went to freq 525. Which I did when I moved it to the solar array.

So we now have 5 and ⅔ s's and 1 s7 running  we could add two more s9's as the circuits are 20 amp 240

  3 run at about 15-16 amps

so we can max at nine units.

I will post either warranty process on the dead s9 board or I will send it to sidehack to play with.


Here are 2 good boards with light and the one dark board.

Which died after running at freq 525 for under a few hours
Somewere some place I have a spare 18 pin cable maybe it can fix issues.  But with tests that I did I think the board is dead.



 

So Phil what will you do?  Are you going to contact bitmainwarranty in the USA?
407  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order on: August 20, 2016, 07:55:13 PM
So PHIL you kept buying until you got a bad one?

Good luck with warranty!

Phil we have 136 blocks left.  So we must be going up as it is about 12 hours since you posted.   81 blocks in 12 hours would be 162 in one day. 
411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: My new Eth thread builds info and other stuff thoughts and photos included. on: August 14, 2016, 04:41:46 AM
Looks nice..  Pretty small size
What did it cost to build?  4 RX 480's  are about 250 each right?  So that would be $1000.00

So Phil  right now coinbase is at $602.43. 

So two questions will you buy more if it drops under $600.00?

What will a $575 price do to difficulty?
417  Other / Archival / Re: Diff thread July 18 to Aug 1st? picks are Now closed! prize = $50 usd on: August 01, 2016, 03:31:22 AM
