What's a good coin to mine these days? I've been out of the loop for a while.

Just received confirmation. My 2 Z9 biggies shipped out 3h ago!
Here's to hoping no 25% customs tariff! Just received notice on my first 2, also. Should have 1 more from the 2nd batch. -j if you are in the USA and bought 2 Z9s, you can pretty bet on getting the tariff. get your checkbook ready as those two miners combined are thousands of dollars that will not be unnoticed. Aye, I'm expecting to get hit for $2500 (3319*3*0.25)... but praying they get through without that hit. The power supplies ship separate, with a unique invoice and a different HST code.. I haven't looked that code up to see what bracket it fits in... here's to hodling to earn back later.  -j I think the current tariff is hit and miss. I brought in 20 z9 minis through Fedex in two separate shipments and looks like I escaped the tariffs both times. Fedex did the clearance with formal entrees. No idea what HS Code they used. Reports throughout this thread seem to indicate that some are getting charged and others are not. So good luck with that. But I'm pretty sure when/if the next round of tariffs is approved, we will all be paying on everything coming in from China. No more Antminer orders for me until that is resolved and the tariffs go away. Good luck with the Z9s. My zcash mining payout has dropped by about 25% since this second batch began shipping (in coin qty not USD amount). From my experience being in importer of Chinese goods for about 10 years now. Fedex will send you a nice invoice in 2-4 weeks. So look out for it. |

Anyone opened up the miner to look at the boards? I'm curious if there are markings on the weak hashing boards to indicate some sort of difference and that bitmain knew something about them. Seems very coincidental that so many of these batch 2 miners have 1 weak board.
So because you cant OVERCLOCK one board as much as the others you are jumping right to a conspiracy theory that bitmain is doing things on purpose? The boards are not weak, they hash just fine at the factory speeds. There is NO guarantee of overclockability, you should be thanking bitmain for putting out a unit that can overclock by 40-60% in the first place. They only promised 10k sols out of the device.... I agree that technically they were honest with them providing their product to the advertised spec. But you can't say it isn't shady or misleading to give first batch users some extra unexpected hashing power as a silent marketing strategy just to sell batch 2s to folks expecting the same. I'm not going to bitch & complain about it because yes, I'm getting no less hashing power than what I paid for, but also I personally do not support this marketing practice and as a result I will never be purchasing another Bitmain product or recommend them. Edit: Also, this is neither a conspiracy nor a coincidence. It's simply silicon binning which is a standard practice throughout the entire semiconducter industry because all chips from a batch are not created equally. The part where it gets shady is that it's likely the highest quality chips were reserved for the batch 1s so everyone could hype over a 50% OC and then pre-order batch 2s. Why is this shady? They aren't going to redesign the chips from batch 1 to batch two just so YOU can't overclock. Get over yourself, the world doesn't revolve around you. It's shady because of perceived value pricing. Bitmain sold batch 2s at the price they did knowing the value was perceived higher than reality. I don't even know what you're talking about with chip redesigns, they're the same chips obviously. I really don't know what I said that makes you think i'm selfish either, I'm just saying how I feel about this behavior. Sorry that some random guy on the internet choosing to no longer support a specific company offends you. If you think it's shady, vote with your wallet and don't buy. I've been doing business with Chinese companies for a long time and this is no where near shady. They didn't promise you that batch 2 will be better or the same. As for pricing its supply and demand, I would set the prices like that too if I was in their position. It's called running a business. |

Does that work if the miner resets or powers up again? Do you have to type it all in again?
Once you do it, the "value" of the option you modified is written to the configuration files. It stays permanent untill you change frequency again or reinstall the firmware. <option value="750"> 750M </option> The value="750" field is the one that's written to the config files. The "750M" is simply what is displayed and does not matter. I get hardware errors on both my batch 2 units @ 750. |

Got it working on my 6x1060, hashrate isn't great at 500+ h/s. Temps are really low though, looks like the miner can be optimized more.
What is your intensity set to? Had it at the default of 8, now I'm trying to increase it see if it helps. |

This is only suited for newbies who have cash to burn. Anyone serious about mining knows better than to spend 4999 Euros for this novelty miner. Props for trying something new, but you are about 6 months late to market. I sell a ton of custom built GPU miners locally and right now the market is dead at that price. During Dec-feb I was getting $5000 Euro per machine running 6 rx 580 and had no stock. Now I can't move them for 3000 Euros. Most of my clients didn't care about the noise.

Honestly, almost any other pool is better than antpoo. Kano, Slush....all better choices.
And why is that? |

Nice setup. Too bad my carpentry skills aren't as good as yours. Out of curiosity do those risers need power? Seems like you didn't plug the power cables in yet.
