very recently switched on this pool, it appears I get more /day than other pools (ie btc.com). the interface is similar to Btc.com, I like it.

still, need to find out how to get the PIN coins every day, didn't have the time yet. any tips are welcomed  

another random thing is that the hash rate does not fluctuate as much as on other pools. will have to try and understand how what and why  

Edit: the graphic is differently designed, just realised that  

The exhaust fan died on my S9(j) ordered on from here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Cooling-Fan-6000RPM-4-pin-Connector-Replacement-For-Antminer-Bitmain-S7-S9/264267373357

The problem I have now is that the new fan works at a whooping 12.000 + RPM (a bit noisy).

Should i change the other fan as well to reduce to total speed?
Is there a difference between s9 and s9j fans (could i have bought the wrong fan maybe)?

It appears the Fan_CTRL function limitation does not work as the lowest i got him was at 9500 rpm.

On the good sIde i got it on the exhaust side and work tooo good.

I have already tried moving the power from the Fan5 to Fan6 and back to compare (no difference has been noted).

Any advice in reducing this noisy one is welcomed

The fans (old and new, can be seen here)

I somehow agree with Stryfe, but to be honest I am happy am getting something back.

Also, if they would refund you at BTC current value ($8601.54) you would get 0.01767242, the difference with yours (0.01822347) would be 0.00055106 BTC.

That is the amount that 2x s9j can generate in a whole day not including any expenses.

Now, since, the s9 era is/has drawn to an end this amount is what you can generate in half a day with a T17+ (64th) it does not seem that much of big deal.
I would prefer them to be fair and stick to the price of the time of purchase, as it would be fair, no matter if this would involve to pay more or less and have this clearly written in their conditions. At least for the next time if not now 

As for their guerilla marketing approach, I do not agree as well, but still, find them a bit better than others.
Maybe they will change in the future? 

Interesting as my Factory setting was doing nearly 30Th but pulling 2450W. But outside was warmer and, of course, vents were sitting comfy at 100% with the internal temp at 68 to 69.


On Balanced++ mine has stabilized at almost 27th (slightly under), if you are getting 28.5 well done  . I wonder if it's better chips that they have used?

Definitely curious about your wattage, especially on the one that does 30t.

I have emailed Inno about the changelog and will update here accordingly.

Edit:

They have replied:


Hash rate improvement is justified  , not in my case though, I must have pulled the short string on the chips 

Got this from Bitmain regarding price adjustments:



It appears so far that:
a. after order is shipped credit [possible coupon] or refund is given;
b. for a refund you have to contact them; and
c. finally, the order has to be shipped to be queued up for a refund/coupon-funds.

Do bear in mind it took 3 days to get this reply; guess they are understaffed at the moment.

it appears the massive bang was from another miner who 'lost' its ventilator pallets and these were creating like a rattling sound. ordered a new vent and hoping it still works and nothing else was damaged.

The t2t still works, luckily it wasn't it and after the firmware update and room temperature dropping to 15 celsius the miner fans dropped once to 80% (a true Christmas miracle  ) and now hovers around 80% to 85%.

It appears to me that the target temp for the hash boards is 59 celsius or 138 F thus giving me a finally a bit of lower % on fans ( https://imgur.com/ttSLalm )

I wonder if my 11-21 nov order will be sent out on time

New experience with the gear:
This morning, a very loud noise was being made by the ventilators (dB sound meter was reading almost 90 instead of the usual 78~80 decibels), so I started to make some notes.

The running parameters and temps:
Th/s: a bit under 27;
Vents: 100% (as per almost 95% of the time) - no surprise there;
Firmware: 23rd of September 2019 - needs update;
Room temp: 20 degrees Celsius (68 F );
Hashing board temps: 59, 60, 59 Celsius (a bit too hot due to low room temp);
Performance settings: Balance++;
Wattage: Not known as my reader burnt (to big load for the normal £10 eBay/amazon one);
Airflow: plenty available;
Running time: 18 days without a reboot.

So far the reason/s for the extra sound is unknown and as a solution to it just the classic reboot.

It appears to be running within the 78~80 decibels again.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Also, new Firmware is out (t2tz_soc_20191023_073403) 23rd of October 2019 07:34 AM , which can be found here: http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/t2tz_soc_20191023_073403.swu , updating mine now.

Edit: It appears the Upgrade Now button does not work (it will now start to download the new firmware, but the download link works), so I went manually in the Maintenance tab on the left and selected Firmware.
In the Upgrade screen select Choose File and hit Upgrade Now.

It took less than 1 minute to update (not including the download and reboot time).

Definitely use coupons, many are selling them cheaper than mine which can  be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5193536.msg52974848#msg52974848

The very first gear I bought with BTC (converted from cash, Coinbase was easier for me at the time and pretty straight forward) and ever since only bought gear with mined BTC. It appeared to me as reinvesting and increasing revenue generation (although with the difficulty increase, at times, I was just staying within the same generation bracket).

The passport/ID thing was standardised 1 year ago by Bitmain, part of the lovely control/knowing policy in China, I believe.

Be prepared for import taxes 

Also, glad to see another fellow miner joining the ranks.

Any questions, always feel free to ask, people here are very helpful.

Good luck on your new adventure

How long will it take?

Bump

Hi,

I like your 3-year celebrations point system, but it has not worked for the last 3 days.

Contacted Paphy Cai from your team but no reply for a while now.

Can you clarify on the matter what happened to the points as I am not receiving anymore


Edit:

https://pool.btc.com website is down?

Stupid question: "Why the low price?"

Also, can VIN be seen to do checks on not been stolen and history and such?

(giving it a bump, hope you sell, nice car  )
