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

[philipma1957]

Interesting..
Bitmain already has some kind of plans for going into 10nm process and even into 7nm process.

This picture was released at Bitmain's Facebook page in 22th June 2016:

Well it is in print..   on a poster on in the photo.

I know that looks good.
I know the time frame is what's in question.
I know right now  they have working 0.1 watt per gh gear.

So  they may do a new version of it at .075 watts in 9 months.

Then they may go for the 10nm in 18 months.  I do not see a working 10nm in under 27 months.

But only a guess on my part.

Hmm. Still, looking at the next nodes makes sense and now is the time to start playing with ideas that could take advantage of what those noes could offer. Emphasis on 'could'.

That is then followed by when will the 10/7nm nodes be viable for mass production of ANY chip? My crystal ball says, "Not for a minimum of 3 years away".

ah Bitmain finally put up the  new firmware so the S9 will work with NICEHASH. Except when you try to use p=? and the password line!!! at least you can hash now.

Which of them do you mean ?

All of them you just have to match the  ? MHZ located on your S9 hash board and download the one that matches your miner. 500 , 600 , 650 MHZ depending which one you have.

Yes, it works now in Nicehash.

3xS9 (650M)=45.51 TH/s

But today I prefer Antpool with first S9 software -  Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016

why ?

[not.you]

Anyone get shipping notice on B4?  I thought these things were supposed to be on hand and ready to ship. 

[philipma1957]

this will mean i may not get my batch 4 until july 5th

Yes, it works now in Nicehash.

why ?

Because the majority of my 10 and 2/3 x S9 B1  working in Antpool at speed 13.9 THs
only three of them are 13.5THs-13.7THs as with old and with  the new software.

There was a time I would have considered with Nicehash a big deal. But it's just not like the old day's with coins launching and huge profit's, now they pay very little over and sometimes under.  And consider their fee "NiceHash charges a processing fee from each party of hash rate trade (buyers and sellers) made through the service. Currently our fee is set at 3%."

I think there are MUCH better options out there with pools to mine, Antpool is one of them to mine with over nicehash.   I see people using Antpoool, Kano.is, F2, BTCC, slush, etc much more often then going to nicehash.

Hmmm... So when did AntPool start looking at Eth and LTC??? https://www.antpool.com/home.htm

Hmmm... So when did AntPool start looking at Eth and LTC??? https://www.antpool.com/home.htm

  They see Eth as a threat to them  and are using an ancient Roman method of allowing slaves and conquered to become citizens of the empire.

My analysis points to a big spike in Eth mining after the ½ ing.  So why not have Eth as a pool of yours.

I did not do any LTC since it can use asics.

A 4 card eth rig with newest rx 480 miners should be able to do 85mh at 400 watts  and this makes it better then the s-9  after the ½ ing.

 I am with you on this one.  I do not see a new breakthrough model(10nm) for another 2-3 years.

Does anyone has a picture of the controller board? Which cyclone does it is?

thx

An improved s-9 type chip size 16nm  is more likely to come in  6-9 months  maybe  12-15 months since no one has any .09 watt gear to push them to improve.

I made the payment after 5 minutes release of batch 4,. the sales page said will ship out immediately...,...been waiting for over 24hour++, where's my UPS tracking code...

anyone have the shipping details?

[Sierra8561]

Wow batch 4 already sold out.

[philipma1957]

I made the payment after 5 minutes release of batch 4,. the sales page said will ship out immediately...,...been waiting for over 24hour++, where's my UPS tracking code...

anyone have the shipping details?

nope  I am in that boat.  So I am USA based  I had hoped for truth and a Friday delivery  now it looks to be a Tuesday delivery as monday is the fourth of july.

So far  89 in import fees on 2 from batch 2.
And about a 4 day delay on this unit  which is about  80 usd.  figure 45 import fees and I have been nickeled and dimed 234 usd
on 5 s-9's

Oh well.  to be fair  80 in this delay  but 1 batch 2 came quickly  so  60 so net 20  and  I now get taxed by ups


so 20 is bitmaintech's fault and 135 is ups fault

Same here, I was really hoping for Friday. Crossing my fingers they are on the way and we just don't have shipping info yet.

Yes I expected "ready to ship" to mean a shipping notification within 24 hours.  They demand that you pay in just one!

I'm willing to bet that in the fine print the 'within 24hrs' is after it clears their orders system and shows up in your account orders as 'paid'.

My b3 took a full 28hrs before I got the Paid email from them. Based on the Paid email date/time technically it took another 26-30hrs before I got the Shipped email but they got it close enough for me.

Now as to the Scenic route that UPS decided to send it on which added another day. Plus the import fees kerfuffle...

I received an email 15 hours ago that it would ship.   7:46 am east coast time

hi
Order just confirmed today and will arrange the shipment soon.
Tracking number will update to your account once ready, no worries.
Thank you for your enquiry, please close the ticket and comment on our service if it helps you.


So I am a bit disappointed  mostly because of the email as I thought it was shipping soon  not more then 15 hours later.

 But honestly not a big deal  I am more curious to see if ups will try for fees again since this is 1 unit not two.
