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

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Cut the PIC out of the loop and hardwire the buck on high? Hack the PIC to a fixed voltage and hope the controller doesn't mind?

Well, since the pads/traces for U2 and it's associated resistors are still there, hmm.. Only other choice would be to see if Fubly or the folks behind Awesome Miner can hack the speed per-board and see what happens.

Best would be to be able to hack the Vcore and speeds per-board and bypass the damn auto tune.

Shut down 3 auctions today on ebay where the hacked account was trying to sell 10 antminer s9's for $1500 in BTC.
Looks like they have been pulling this scam every weekend since at least August.


EDIT: Now the same hacked account is selling s9's AGAIN. 7pm est

The folks at ebay are pretty incompetent.

Be careful folks.

Just FYI for anyone thinking about the pencil trick to increase voltage I already tried it on my autotune (B19) and it did nothing.  I did it on an older non-autotune one (B3) and it worked wonders.  But the autotune ignored it.  That makes sense though because the autotune is adjusting freq for each chip.  I tried it anyway since I have 2 boards getting 4700 and one board getting 3900 but as I say, it did nothing.

I've been around a while now, sort of. But what is the pencil trick?

I will find the links

Really wish we could at least get control of the minimum fan speed...  This auto setting is too low and the fan spins up way too often.

I agree, minimum fan speed setting would be excellent.

3 of my S9 batch 19 are only running at 11Th and some even 10Th.
Very strange problem. My machines are hosted in labrador so I'm waiting to hear back if its a down board or just a firmware issue.
Really hope its just firmware

I think its just they don't like the cold

I am also having the same issue with my S9 batch 2 hosted in labrador, It has been going great until
lately and seems to completely stop hashing, then start up again. When this started happening, I checked
the outside temps in labrador and it was like -9degrees, it improves around 0degrees, then goes downhill
again when it gets colder, I understand the hosts are looking into the issue

I would recommend Eastshore instead of those Ebay sellers.
You can buy from them via their web site www.eastshore.xyz or via Aliexpress.
With Aliexpress you get a buyer protection like with the Ebay.

I've bought one S9 from them directly via their web site and it is running nicely.
I just ordered another one and it is on the way to Finland via Fedex.

That is excellent.
Just trying to make folks aware of the ongoing scam for s9's on ebay. Too good to be true then probably is not true.

How long was/is delivery? Did they do the customs declaration as they state? Also how did you pay them? Btc or credit card through aliexpress?

Gotcha Philip.

Finally got them to stop.
Bought the item but they had me blocked ON A DIFFERENT NEWLY HACKED ACCOUNT!
Went to my other account and bought it.
Immediately left negative feedback like this...

SCAM! HACKED ACCOUNT! BEWARE!

Hacker then cancelled my order and ceased posting. I did call ebay about it.

Has been a long weekend (Friday included) trying to pop this joker.
THREE different hacked accounts in three days. At least 10 calls to ebay fraud department.

I'm sure they will crank back up next weekend.

Hope I saved buyers some grief/BTC.

im surprised it doesnt happen more often..
ebay doesnt offer any type of account security.

Please Bitmain...  Let us or set a higher minimum fan speed on the autotune so that I don't have to hear the fan spin up/down constantly as it changes speeds!

[wolfen]

Does the non autotune firmware work on autotune s9's?

Looks like someone has nicehash locked up at 1.8 for 20th
