Is it official distributor? I will need the asian distributor. Do distributors get it later or same time as main guy? We cannot buy 1 or a few pieces direct, right Did i see right? 210,000 rouble. Thats 3,500 usd for that distributor? Is that in roubles? I am nt familliar with russian currency. Do distributors mark up alot or is it around same price. |

Wow, their specs beat bitmain?
|
|
|
|
I'll buy one.
Are we actually able to buy one direct from avalon? Or do we need to go through their distributors? I wanna try one, and diversify my miners...but yeah, depends on price. |

Seems I can only get 2 hashboards working. The third one just wont work now, not even at default mining mode sigh. I go update bitmain. A week is reasonable. I got a fren who ship his S9 to hongkong and it took a few days. I meant it's a few days to a week for my repairs. China could be anything......
Meantime I'm having fun. I think Antminer used some crappy oscillators.....
Hmmm is there anythin that can be done to make this better? |

I simply received the e-mail that you always receive when Bitmain delivers you order.
It is an e-mail message with title "BITMAIN Order Shipped" .
It includes the order invoice and Fedex tracking information.
same for me I got the email and a fedex order notice email. I would love to know when the earlier order will ship. \ you lucky bastards so your january batch shipped in December why How am I lucky when the December one is yet to ship? It is a push at best until we know when the December one ships. Here is how I look at it I ordered 5 since sept of this year. first 3 2 were late about 3 days each - 6 in the hole 1 was early about 26 days +20 next one will be 40 days early +60 last one ? So while I appear to be lucky as 60 days of 1 s-9 is good money the final one may be really late. Or it may ship on the 21st of dec and I would get it on the 28th of dec about 9 days early and I would be 69 days ahead and 69 days of 1 s-9 is a lot of coin. My chickens have not hatched yet. What is your cooling setup going to be. Just curious I got 30 asics going right now and with 6,000 cfm of air flow I am struggling to keep temps cool. Hot Aisle is 100-110F cold aisle is 80-90f which is okay but not ideal. U are talkin about room temps ya |

Hot Aisle is 100-110F cold aisle is 80-90f which is okay but not ideal. you don't have enough airflow. i have 2 1350 fans in the solar array loft that is 2700 cfm. it can cool 9 s-9's so I have 300 cfm per s-9 2700/9 = 300 cfm you have 6000/30 = 200 cfm we are running 6 s-9's and will be adding 2 more s-9's that is 8 of them but we have done as many as 9 in the solar array loft. also my 2 fans are on top of the s-9's I have a you tube video let me find link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKlXarvBv5MI am curious. What are the temperatures u are getting, lowest and highest for S9? Also, wat are the temps in your area? I am getting 72-87 degrees on my miners...depending on time of day and type of miner. My area temp is around 25-32 degrees. I dont have the 4 season here. The 14th runs abit hotter than the 13.5th as it uses more watts. I know my temps are in the ok range but i still wonder |

So it seems like it is easily possible to have 50 Antminer S9 in the UK as long as the building has 3 phase power supply, cost of setting it all up is around £5k from a qualified electrician and you will also need extractor fitted for heat to leave the building and louvre for air to come in which is another £5k. So to run 50 Antminer S9, here is a simple process! It is definitely not as complicated as people have made it out to be!! You will need: 1) Order 50 x Antminer S9 2) Order 50 x PSU 3) Rent an Industrial Unit with 3 phase supply 4) Order Shelves to house the miners (you don't need anything fancy or expensive believe me!) 5) Get an Electrician to install sockets / upgrade Fuseboard 6) Get an electrician to fit extractor and louvre 7) Wait for your Machines  Plug them in and setup 9) Wait for them to mine 10) Enjoy! It might be cheaper to have multiple units than paying to get supply head upgraded. Unless you can get an old factory for quite a cheap rent that has high supply already in place. U forget strong fans for cooling. It is best to overdo the fans...add more cooling |

I dont think so because mining uses very little internet.

I guess there is no real review still. Wats so hard to making one zzzzz.

Worst case you can send it over here and I'll test it on my default rig. Maybe it needs a different code version, but this is not the first time I have heard people say it doesn't work with all three boards at say slushpool. That makes very little sense (unless it is secretly mining bitcoin trash/cash and Antminer is paying out in bitcoins. HMMMMMM)
I am pointing it at antpool. It doesnt secretly mine anything lol. Not possible considering the watts use is only around 1000 plus. Thats 2 boards wotking only I rather not send the whoke thing back considering mining rates are good now. How long does sending it back and return take anyways? I don't know for bitmainrepair, but for myself it's usually a few days to a week for turnaround. C A few days or a week is not so bad. I will have to send to china since i am in Asia. Bitmain repair is usa right, i think. Thanks for info. |

30 seconds should be plenty, unless the miner software is VERY VERY slow about turning off.
It actually should take less than 5, but sometimes the miner IS a bit on the slow side about turning the hashboards off....
6-7 minutes is overkill, but on the definitely SAFEST side. 8-)
From monitoring watts rate, it takes about 30-60 secs usually if i recall right. I juz prefer to be very careful |

Well that's interesting. Question: If you switch off antminer to your pool, fail, then switch back to antminer without resetting the board, does it still work?
I see all pools are antminer ones, so that's not it. Maybe Ant wants you to make them rich....
Is this consistent (ie: you can do it multiple times and get the same results)? What if you put the non-solo antminer pool first (still with ant's creds). Try changing one thing at a time till it breaks....
C
lol. I dont think bitmain wants my 1 hashboard when they have thousands of it lol I havent tried resetting it back to default pool. I doubt it will work and I dont want anything breaking lol. I wait 5-7 mins before switching off and on as it is. I believe the problem is that one of my hashboard can hash but can ONLY mine at default settings. That hashboard cannot take new settings. I am not sure why. It was able to do so back then. My other four S9 from the same shipment work fine though. Back then when it got to this part, poweroff via ssh and switch it on again can lead to either 2 boards, 1 board or no boards being detected. Using the resets will allow mining with 3 boards at default settings or I get 2 boards that I can control, at best. That last board, chain #8 is very hard to see. It only works at default settings but the chips are all 0000 and hashing fine. Hmmm, I guess it is some kinda control issue or firmware issue??? I did not mess with the firmware and it has the same firmware as my other 4 S9 from the same batch that works fine. I guess I will open a ticket while reading here. Will update if anything new pops up or if I find a solution. I hope I dont have to send it back...it looks like some kinda detection issue. |

UPDATE- I got all 3 hashboards working at DEFAULT MODE ONLY!!!  I let it mine for about 15 mins and the moment i change it to my own worker, only 2 hashboards work ....  I had to do https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/3957 reset method 3 (which gives a new IP to my miner from my router) followed by reset number 1 to get it to work with 3 hashboards working..but it only mines in default mode that way... zzzzz So, is this a firmware or control board issue? All 3 boards can mine in default mode to antpool but not to my own worker.... It cant switch worker. |

ok,so i change to yet another new bitmain PSU.
And i measured the watts. All 3 have red lights and light up at the start and at one point, it runs at 15000 watts, with all 3 boards giving red light. And then it goes back to low 100-150 watts and finally, and sadly it juz powers 2 boards yet again, and runs around 1000+ watts...wat gives? I dont get it.
Why does it do that? Now 2 boards are working with the red light and the last one isnt..yet again..... sigh
Anyone had this issue before? It seems it can work at 1500 watts, with 3 hashboards with red light if it wants to but it always does not do so at the last minute.

Check the voltages at the miner, I wonder if the power supplies are sagging and causing boards to drop out. These things take a lot of power....
Do I need a multimeter to do that? This means i should change psu? I have a spare new psu, unused as it is. And I juz bought 3 new power cords, all rated 13 amp. I rather not use power cords from working miners to re-test. My 4 other S9 miners from the same shipment order are working fine though and this was working fine just awhile back, sigh. Sigh, juz changed power cable and tried again. All 3 boards light up at the start over and over for a long time but in the end, only the last 2 board light up and i got 2 boards up and running again. PSU change next. I got a feeling my control board has issues. |

1 member of forum, "promojo" got it, and he said that he is going to do review for this weekend... Still awaiting his videos to see how things check out... You can check on 12th page of this topic
where is his info? Well it is 935 am so maybe in the next 36 hours he will post it.  It does not take long to do a short review juz to see the unit yes.... I am still skeptical. I dont believe it is real |

My air filters are also input to the room, not on the miners. The s9 firmware is read only so you dont even need to ssh in and shut them down. We plug and unplug dozens a day with no ill effects.
I see. So u juz off the switch and no issues? Does ssh and type poweroff help make it abit better? I am into caring for them as much as i can lol It's a LOT easier on the power supply for a miner if you software shut it down BEFORE you turn the switch off. It's probably easier on the mining hardware as well. You may get away with it a LOT of the time, but it's also very hard on the power supply to be shut down while operating at high load. I always SSH via putty and poweroff and wait 6-7 mins before switching off. I am careful  Anyways, I change air filters without turning it off nowadays |

Mine is antminer S9 14TH Dec Batch.
The miner worked fine fine at first.
Suddenly 1 hashboard missing. It does not xxx. It was just missing. It shows up later, all Os.
I off and on antminer and it re-appeared. I was happy again. I let it mine at default for awhile and it worked fine.
Later on, i changed mining settings to point to my worker. It restarted and only 2 boards work. 1 failed.
I had to soft reset via pressin the reset button to get all 3 boards working again.
It worked at default setting, mining to default worker.
When I changed it to my worker, again only 2 hashoards work.
And further soft resets and reboots result in either 2 hashboards, 1 hashboard or no hashboard working.
I let it try as much as 30mins and it can still detect 0 hashboards at times.
The hashboard never shows xxxx. It either shows up or dont. It always shows all 0000
Is it my control board spoil? Or firmware? It was working fine before. I bought 5 antminers in this batch and the other 4 are fine.
I am using bitmain psu and I have already tested this on 2 bitmain PSU (both new). I still have 1 new one to test on.
I remember it showed crc error = 0 or something while my other working mines shows crc = 0. I will double check on this more when i get back.
The hashboards red light all light up at start and later on only 2 light up, if 2 boards work, etc. Sometimes only 1 work. It is kinda random on restarts.
Odd thing is when 2 hashboards are working, sometimes it it is the middle and left board working (basis the red light on it) and sometimes it is the middle and right board working...most of the time is middle and right board working...wats going on?
Any idea what is wrong pls?
