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

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Plus they pulled all the older firmware from the site.

Which is why for all miners I've had I always made sure to download/save the different versions shortly after they are released. I usually do not apply the updates but at least I always have the software in storage just in case this happens...

Maybe we should pull from yours and other stashes and make a non-Bitmain source for folks who need 'em.

Same as what I have for the s9's sans the 550M one. All miners I bought were the faster batch releases  
And of course I have a copy of the latest release but it's not getting ANYWHERE near any of my miners.

And looks like Bitmain released another s9 update dated today https://enshop.bitmain.com/files/download/Antminer-S9-all-201610201049-autofreq-user.tar.gz

"The firmware package of AntMiner S9. This package can make startup faster. And wait more time for hashboard initialization to ensure the hashboard reset all right."

I've got B3 and B10 units. Here's my thoughts on installing new firmware.

Just say no.

I've found the best strategy is point them at a stable pool (I use Kano), leave them alone, and pray you don't lose a blade.

[Contact2015]

Can someone send me the old S9 firmware 12.93 th/s? Thank you!!

[pittyxp]

Hi guys,

the new firmware is very bad. I'm really upset about it and I hope they will fix ASAP what they've broken.
My miner is overheating and I can't select the frequency anymore. It's unbelievable.
The worst thing is we can't download the older firmware in order to do a downgrade as well.

Really really upset.

[MyRig]

Did you try the newest one?  There is October 21st edition

[mamiakimo]

something like that should i worry about ?

[wolfen]

something like that should i worry about ?

I would say no.
You could downclock it but I would just leave it.
If the temps are not high and no x's and hashrate is good and it is not DEAD I would just roll with it.

I have found that the one two three order from top to bottom does not match the boards from left to right or right to left.
I just pull the 3 power cables from one board and the hash cable from that board to see which is the offending board.


Was thinking I could grab the high error rate boards from several miners and put them in one and downclock.

Not sure what the algorithm is to set the clock with the new software but that may help.
It sets the clock differently for each board.
You lose the fan speed control though.

Can someone please download these and post them on an English free download site?  I have tried everything trying to get them to download, used google translate from polish to English, tried to figure it out but it wants some kind of code for it to work.

It's really sad that Bitmain won't post the older firmware versions!

Seems Bitcoin Mining is really going downhill this year. If you compare this thread to the S7, its moving at half the speed. Seems everybody is GPU mining now.

[wolfen]

Looks like Mr scammer is on ebay again trying to sell an s9 with bitmain psu with free shipping AGAIN.
Same text, same pics.
ANOTHER dormant account for 6 months has been hacked AGAIN.

true, but once leading altcoin difficulty increases 2-3 times more with the same price, it will be in the same bad situation as btc is.
all mining seems to eventually getting to a point where it is not worth it for most people (economically).
they ought to come out with a coin that does not have a progressive difficulty increase, if it is possible.
personally, i would welcome POS in bitcoin.

Even newer firmware came out:
