Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order

[Tupsu]

My answer to Bitmain


You're lying.
I want proof that this is my hashchboard. High resolution image os whole haschboard, which also shows the serial number,
It is not possible, that whit  transport was off the radiator or radiator with chips.
Before packing tI carefully checked all  radiators on the on the side . All were tight.
With My package was not possible for them to become damaged during transport.

It possible that your  engineer making  injury during repair, or this is or it is not my blade. I want to warranty repair or replacement.

I have in my side  fulfilled all the terms of the warranty..

first I want new and better picture with serial to prove that it is  my haschboard.

Anyone knows some Antminer S9 Monitors ??
I had M miner Monitor with the S7 but it doesn't recognize the s9

Second Question of same category:

I have all my miners with a hosting company and work individually with my miners remotely through a vpn.  Is there a dashboard that I can view my critical information without having to remote onto each miner?

[Unacceptable]

Give em hell Tupsu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Be damned if I buy anything from Bitmain ever !!!!!! 

Go with GPU mining guys,AMD & Nvidia don't sqabble & bitch about warranties

See my signature. There is a free solution but it needs network access to the machines.

Yeah, the rattling sound which comes from the boards being loosely attached almost made me shit my pants when I received my Ant S9 and carefully turned it around 360deg few times.  
It was kind of tricky to find out if there is any loose heat sinks before turning it on.
Luckily my unit turned out too be a good one, at least so far.
Sorry to hear about you guys' S9 problems though  

IKR!?!? i flip all my miners 360 degrees when i first get them or move them just in case a heat sink fell off on their way to me but the board kept throwing me off a bit. pushing the controller forward and putting a dab of hot glue at the 2 exposed corners holds the controller firmly in place and isnt messy and doesnt take a whole lot of work. it can also be undone with just about no effort on my part too. i just dont like the idea of a pcb bouncing around in a metal enclosure....it makes me cringe.

Seems, Bitmain is getting worse and worse...

Agreed, it shouldn't be that hard for Bitmain to take out that slop nor should it really "cost" them any money. I'd like to see them tighten up QA, at the price they're asking, these things need to be bullet proof.

I'm about to release a product for that, maybe a month and a half more of development. We have monitoring, auto soft and hard reset and other niceties like modem/router reset on bad internet etc. No need for direct access and we will release a cloud dashboard to boot.

Here's a screenshot, of a couple of small S5 farms, sorry for the spanish language, that's one of our supported languages and my interface is on that.

Interesting. Does it also act as a proxy?

I returned a I/O board that was faulty, Bitmain shipped my replacement two days after receiving the defective board. They have been really good to me on any warranty issue.

Presumably, this was not the S9. Here is waiting  weeks for not working S9 controller.

do you have a site or tweetter account to stay tuned?

I would rather they simply honored the warranty.  If it breaks in the first 90 days it gets replaced without a lot of rigamarole on their part.  Buying a miner and getting a 10% coupon on the next is worthless if the miner I bought only performs to 66% of spec.  There are a lot of tech companies that provide excellent and reliable warranties.  Bitmain could be one if they wanted to.

Yeah but the shipping back to China  at high cost is a killer along with no cross shipping.

   It is not like an Intel CPU  which ships at low cost.  BTW  When I killed my Intel i5 6600k   I had two options cross ship at an extra cost of 25 usd  or send  it in and wait .  I went the cheap way and had a new CPU in 8 days.  If I cross shipped for 25 extra  I could wait to ship the dead one back  and would of had it in 2 days. I did not need it that fast so I saved the 25 extra cost.

I actually do not hate bitmaintech but they are a bit short on service if gear breaks down.   They need to adapt on this.  

Some reasons:

 1) they are helping gpu miners with their short warranty
 2) break even on asic gear is not 60 to 120 days. So the 90 day warranty means your gear is almost certain to not roi under warranty  this helps gpu mining
 3) they are pretty well known for not honoring warranty   this helps gpu mining

Basically  here is my Eth setup  and I convert most coins to btc.  Bitmaintech has created demand for gpu mining.  Mostly over their warranty issues.
18 cards two 4 card rigs and five 2 card rigs.  Every piece has at least 1 year warranty or more.  Most have a 2 year warranty.

phil, what are you doing?  
releasing the secret of how to get the same amount of btc with 2.5-3 times less watts and a real warranty?

It is an open secret.

Bitmaintech is king of ASIC world

And they need to watch for gpu world more then anything else.

Hey phil i sent you a dm if you can check it out please

I'm considering that already, and also a drag & drop interface for pool change.

Wanted to use ckpool (as that's what i use), but it is a no-go in ARM platforms.

My business site is primarily about biometrics and HR stuff. However i will surely tweet about the project release and notify around here when it's time. My tweeter (personal one, but i'll tweet there) is @johnvillarz.

Just as a heads-up, initial release will only have capacity for 1 hardware control, but we have already working prototypes of the hardware expansors, which will go from 4 hardware control ports for hte basic expansor to 32 or 64, depending on demand).

Looks like one of mine has a dead middle board. All x's

Tried lowering frequency to 575 but no luck, it comes up as o's but won't hash, then after a while goes to x's

So far all s9s good here including the 2 new batch 11's. Have all my fingers, toes and eyes crossed hoping they stay that way...
Any yes, is a bvyche typng liker that...

This is a long shot, but what pool are you pointing at?

I mined on Zpool briefly but ran into a problem where the pool was serving up an extremely low difficulty of 64. It would hash for a while then one of the blades would fall over and show all x's.

At first I thought it might be frequency related and lowered my rate. I also tried setting a minimum difficulty. But it kept happening. Then several other people with S9s complained about the same thing on the Zpool thread, so I figured it was a pool problem.

I gave up and went back to Kano's pool (should never have left) and it's been fine ever sense.

I only mine on kano.is with ck's solo as a backup. Units are hosted so its going to be physically checked. These are the latest batch just had them up and running a for around 48 hours.
