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

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

My understanding is no. But I haven't dared try it on any of mine.

I know what you mean.
I know it is different controller hardware. But you can use new firmware on old machines.
Just would like the fan to spin a bit faster. The old firmware with fan control would be great if it works.

Anyone have the old firmware so someone can try it?

I have it, if someone wants to try it.

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

yeah so point there and be paid close to double for as long as it lasts.

I tried pointing my S9's at NiceHash, but am seeing a ton of rejects (30%). The S9's are behind a Stratehm stratum-proxy.

I've tried enabling and disabling extranonce, as well as setting a reasonable difficulty. Still tons of rejects.

I posted on the NiceHash thread, but if anyone has suggestions for here for getting S9's to work well with NiceHash, I'd appreciate the info.

Let me know how it works.

Not sure if it's any help but I got a ton of rejects when I set up load balance between the theee pools on my S7LN. I was told by -ck it's because they mine other sha256 type coins aswell. Which explains why the diff required kept changing by itself.

For me, nicehash beats the hell out of s9's
Have boards failing left and right within days.
They cost too much for me to expose them to that.
I want them to run a long time. I baby the crap out of them.

Was going to point my old s7's there, they are tanks compared to s9.
Plus they are cheap now.

Thanks for posting this!  I think I'll hold off a bit and see if anyone else has success before stepping up to be the guinea pig.

nicehash does not like that proxy.. your rejects are duplicates. its because your lan isnt fast enough..

you have to set the pool#1 to NH with a p= password, i use 1.4 then pool#2 is the proxy. i use the proxy for zpool cause it makes it a little more stable.

Thanks. That's exactly what I ended up doing.

Not clear what you mean by my LAN not being fast enough though. The LAN connection is gigabit, and the WAN connection is 100 MBs bidirectional. The NiceHash URL I'm using is in the next town over from the data center where my miners are. Can't get much better than that.

I doubt this is a network performance problem. That said, I'm running the proxy on an RPi, so maybe there's a performance issue there. Although I've never seen this problem on any other pool.

[BITMAIN]

Dear Bitcoiners,

We are launching two new batches of the Antminer S9 today.

Batch 20 and batch 21 can deliver a hashrate of 13TH/s and 13.5TH/s, respectively.

They will be available here after 2300 hours (Beijing time, GMT +8) today (8 November 2016).

We advise all to confirm their order while stock lasts.

Happy mining,

the Bitmain team

Is anybody currently mining BC with an S9 right now? If so, what kind of rates you getting per unit? <3

[edonkey]

So Bitmain announces another batch the day after the AvalonMiner 721 announcement. Big surprise

they can increase there price now after what avalon offer yesterday

and hash rate is way up last I looked.

And they did.  Too rich for my blood!

Quick question. Whats the average fan speed the S9 does to stay at the temp it needs (I know its ambient temperature dependant)? Also whats the max RPM the fans do?

ya they gave me coupons to use that give $100 off but they jacked the price up by over $200 so whats the point??

4300rpm fan and a 6000rpm fan.
This question is highly S9 model and ambient temperature etc. dependant. Try to find the sweet spot in your conditions.
