... and the current S9 stats in numbers (for all time - i.e. since S9s existed) ... and to repeat what I've said before - this is only S9s connected directly to the pool. It doesn't include S9s connected via any sort of proxy since a proxy doesn't provide any information about all the types of each miner behind the proxy. CDF[Erl]

Sorry Kano if my joke opened a can of worms. |

Well those damn S9's are back and there goes the luck!!!!!!!!!!

Well October was not so gloomy after all according to my spreadsheet.
One thing about this pool it's very consistent, generally performing very well. It has had great months that are above average, followed by months that are good. I don't remember a month off the top of my head that the pool has performed poorly. Happy to be back. |

Hello everyone S9 batch 2 price was around 2095 USD and with 0.1$ electricity cost its around 4 month (120 days) release of s9 batch 2 Revenue is around btc generated 1.7 btc and according to 700 price revenue is 1190 USD electricity cost 120 days*34 unit each day = 4080 unit * 0.1$=408 USD profit is 1190-408 = 782 USD total expense of miner covered 2095-782 = 1313 USD 1313 USD is left to cover ROI batch 18(11TH ,112$ per TH) price is approx 1440 USD of 12.93 TH approx calculation so if nothing is done in this 120 days then after that in price of 1440 USD or less we can get miner in price of 1440 USD there is not much difference in current price and how much left for ROI for earlier batches then what is the reason to take earlier batches  i have s9s batch 2 but why to take earlier batches when we know price is going to be down this much ? You mined at 10 cents a kwatt. That is not a great price for power. You did okay at 10 cents. You could list that miner for about 1400 usd and turn a 87 dollar profit. 87 profit in your case using 10 cent power is not terrible. Hint I am trying to explain that ten cent power is not that good for ASIC mining with the s9. Six is good eight is okay ten is a little risky What is electricity rates at your place ? And what should i do now sell the miners or continue to mine ? I pay 6 cents. I'd consider buying yours, if you want to get rid of them. |

once bitten twice shy, i will never trust you again.
I'm in this camp. asiabtc talked me into paying a ridiculous price to purchase their soon to be released blade miner, and after many weeks of waiting a bunch of gridseed miners eventually showed up. This was after he began selling the blades for nearly half what I was charged. Never got any sort of compensation or even an apology. I assumed it was communication issues involving a language barrier and eventually gave up. I wonder how many other people have been similarly screwed by this company with no recourse... Anyway, the writing is here on the wall for you. Trust them if you want to be parted with your coins. yeah if I recall 3000 usd to start and drop drop drop drop drop to about 350 usd in under six months. I would also say they killed ltc and it never really recovered. but that could be quite an argument as other factors stand in for that. To op I am still willing to test and review a model plus pay a fair price for it. But Most people here would say I am trustworthy and you are not trustworthy. I am like I will give a guy a second chance. So when you are ready to send me a demo I will run it test it do a long thread on it. And then pay you for it. or ship it back on my dime. your risk is I run away with one unit which since it is shipping to my home in NJ, USA means I would be running away from my home. Which I am not looking to do at the age of 59. If it's Phil approved I'll give it a shot. |

Others have tried to be competitive with Bitmain before and it just is hard to do. SP did that with SP20 and they claimed to be losing money on them Do you trust them?.. I would not. Because: .. I don't know much about them, I can say before buying I would want a video showing it working and also pool side shown. Then I would want to read a few reviews to see what others think of it. I have only purchased once during devlopment... terrahash long long ago and learned lesson and paypal saved my butt on that one. So if were talking about trust to purchase... no not yet. And it could be me but https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317180.msg16681727#msg16681727 look a lot like some old S5 part's for chassis. And I could be wrong it's been a while since I have had one. But that makes me wonder even if work's if still in prototype stage vs production. But again I have not followed them closely, I would love to see more miners out there. But I'm a skeptic at this point with new gear I know little of. And no offense was meant by that to OP. It just is there is a lot more they could show assuming that unit works. I agree, before I buy I'd want one in hand before I pay or have a trusted member of this forum with the same opportunity. I'm all for supporting a alternative to what we have, but won't be ripped off. |

Block by BTC2X with 23TH/s! This is his 2nd Kano block and our 2nd of the day!  I'm a little late as this happened about 3 hours ago. I could not get into the forum.  I've had trouble periodically getting here as well for the past 24 hrs or so. ...and...welcome back, Sierra...hang in there. Thanks I appreciate it. I have also had trouble getting here also. |

I'm back  willing to risk the S9 isn't jeopardising the pool. Missed being here and it's great to be back. |

I see Juvia is in the building... Welcome back, Citronick!  That may prompt my return. I know my blocks hit are consistent with what they should be. But my hardware is mostly s9's. I guess until we have long term data, it is a crap shoot. |

Well, BW.com has at least four 14nm miners that I know: BW B11, BW B11-PLUS, BW B12 and BW B16.
No public release for sales though.
If that's true then I stand corrected. I knew they had some currently competitive chips but I thought they were 16 and not 14. The bitfury containerized data center supposedly has 14nm as well. I'm beginning to wonder if they truly exist, never seen or heard a thing about them other than the bitfury website. |

I can't wait to buy a few and test them out.

Batch 19 13.5th version is sold out. I wonder how many they had to sale?

On the newer S9's with updated firmware, we lose control over fan speed percentage. Is there a way to control fan speed with awesome miner?
They have made API changes in the latest S9 batches. I made some changes for Antminer R4 in version 2.0.2, and I think that changes made Awesome Miner at least detect one of the fan speeds for the S9 as well, but I will of course add support for displaying the other one as well. It would be great if we could change the fan speed. Great work as always Patrike, thanks... |

I was thinking of running all my s9's with autotune to get the freq numbers for each board and then flip back to old firmware with those numbers
where you have fan control. Then consolidate boards that have the same autotune freq.
Didn't the original autotune firmware tune each chip? The logs I saw posted for it looked like it did. I haven't used any of those firmwares and my miners are all early batches now so haven't tested any of them. I did mention the idea of mixing and matching boards based on performance back when I got my first S9 (batch 3). That first S9 has a single bad board so I am quite certain the other two boards would even OC without a problem but that one board can't even handle stock freq. EDIT: I was actually hoping that one of the newer autotune firmwares would work on old miners so I could autotune that one and get a higher freq on the good boards. You mean older s9's? New firmware does not run on old s9's? I believe it runs, but so far, from what I have seen reported, it doesn't actually make them autotune at all like the new ones do. EDIT: Batch 19 saying sold out on the website already. Not.you is correct it works on older versions but won't auto tune. |

It seems like the autotune frequencies are programmed in to the PIC in the hash boards. I tried the new firmware October 27 in my S9, batch 2 and all it tried based on the kernel log was 600Mhz all over again Crap. I think the install of the autotune said don't have the "SAVE SETTINGS" button set. Maybe... I also am giving todays firmware a try. Really hoping Bitmain gives us the ability to control fan speed again. My machine is running 10c hotter than the rest. |

New firmware running 20C hotter (PCB) than old.
75C vs 55C
HWE are low.
My test machine is running hotter also. The update runs quite smooth, Bitmain needs to give us control over fan speed again. |

I moved my S9's as well. Although there isn't any hard proof that S9's don't do as well on Kano, I didn't want to drag the pool down. I'd much rather bring my 300th back

Meanwhile ... if anyone here reads/visits the linuxjournal web site ... I might suggest you find somewhere else to spend your time. Someone from there is using ckpool - which is of course no problem, it is opensource after all - they also found a couple of blocks even - and had the donation enabled to -ck for 0.5% as the README says ... ... ... but apparently the boss there was livid when he found out about that 0.5% donation being enabled and got them to turn it off. Hopefully my suggestion to avoid them will make them even more livid Oddly they are also not telling the block sites what their coinbase sig is, so show up as unknown on them all. Ah...I was curious who that might be. I gotcha. Thanks. I'm lost lol |

what causes this "socket connect failed..."?
Is there a firmware to get rid of this?
I've wondered the same thing. All firmware I have tried suffered from this problem. |
