#2....that doesnt matter. like i said newer firmware required all 3 spaces for all 3 pools in the config page. so what works for 1 firmware doesnt always work for the later firmware which is why i mentioned this specifically.
#3....so even when the miner was reset and the default info was left that bitmain sets manually in the firmware it wouldnt mine? no static ip no pool info except the default info that gets entered when the miner gets reset right??
also does the log file show the boards as being detected?? and have u tried using the latest firmware for that miner??
I'm going to go back and run some checks. I'll let you know I ended up talking the good boards and putting in the miner with the bad PCB. I have my full miner back and a dead miner. that works too lol. if your in the us you should send the boards in to be looked at and repaired/replaced. its way cheaper than buying a new miner and you dont end up with a paper weight of a miner like you have now. |

I used to work in commerce, totally close enough for drop off or pickup! Of course malfunctioning droid R4B4 was in the mines, not here at home.

These aren't the Droids you're looking for: S5 & S7 (Sold), R4B2, R4B4 (RIP), 2x S9 obsolete, 2xS15-28, S17-56, S17-70

Has anyone else had issues with Bitmain receiving their Wire payments recently? I placed an order on July 13 and Bitmain hasn't acknowledged payment or even replied to my support requests. I can imagine they are very busy, but when a customer sends a large sum of money they should let us know if it's paid.
Any idea's on how I can get their attention?

In case anyone missed it, Bitmain opened sales for a 14TH/s S9 shipping between October 10-20 listed at $1141 (before shipping / customs fees / etc...). I'm pretty sure this is the only batch since batch 1 to reach 14TH/s.

I think you are correct, the last batch was 13.5 th/s going for $1099, this batch is about 50 bucks more and you get another half a terahash. It really sucks tying up money for 2 months with these preorders. I understand from a business perspective its nice, but it totally sucks for the end user. |

The are sold out.
How many days is ROI for such an antminer S9?
When I look at what to mine its very long more than 1 Year with my electricity costs.

Determining ROI is tricky because it includes a lot of variables like cost of electricity. coinwarz.com is a good tool to use in determining ROI. Another factor to consider is the fact that your money will be tied up with BITMAIN for two months before you can start chipping away at earning it back so I would go ahead and add two months to whatever your ROI calculations give you to account for the time between payment and delivery. |

Yes. I'd like to add that it is also important to notice that difficulty keeps rising.
So in short: there is no universal answer when it comes to the ROI.

Actually, I think when I posted that earlier, they weren't sold out, they just were not accepting BTC so you couldn't order them. I suspect they became live on the site once they started accepting BTC again and sold out very fast.

I found out that so many post how their antminer S9 not working well, any opinion about it?
How many percentage to have "defect" one?

If you have to ask "why?", you wouldn`t understand my answer.

We don't have hard numbers. But based on the groundswell of negative reports on this forum, it certainly seems like the S9 has had more reliability problems than previous models. I only bought a couple of S9s early on. One has a bad hashboard. It's the first Bitmain hardware failure I've had since I started mining as a hobby. I had a couple of S3s, a Spondoolies SP20, and three S7s without a single failure. I realize that my numbers are not statistically relevant. But from a personal and anecdotal perspective, the S9 has been less reliable. That said, I still got to ROI with my S9s. Barely though. The board that crapped out happened about two weeks after that unit ROI'd. |

Or, it could be that people aren't psychologically predisposed to seeking out random venues on the internet to gush about a random piece of hardware they purchased (but people are psychologically predisposed to seeking out random venues on the internet to bitch about a random piece of hardware they purchased).  |

I understand that you are a fan of all things BMT, but what makes you to be an expert on S9?  |

Genie is being a Bitmain fan again.
Based on my experience and what I've seen in this and other threads during a long time period, the failure rate is far greater than 1%.
I would like to see where the number less than one percent is based on.
