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

[philipma1957]

my order was due to arrive today 40 minutes ago.  but fedex site has it in Hong Kong    as of 9 hours ago.

So it will most likely arrive 1 day late.

This will be my first auto tune gear. For the s9

[Biodom]

yeah, some kind of bizarre movement. My miner spent the whole day today going from Shenzen to Guangzhou.
 
My guess is that FEDEX does not fly from Shenzen and ships items to HK first.

since these are never in stock, where else is it safe to buy (besides marked up ebay/amazon)  

Just shut down another auction TODAY on ebay from the same guy that has a stack of hacked accounts selling s9 for $1500.
Wants bitcoin payments.
About 7 buyers got in before I shut it down. Over $10000 of bitcoin if they paid.
EVERY WEEKEND since August. Scammer is making piles of money.
You think 1000 positive feedback is safe? Many hacked dormant accounts with 1000 positive feedback.
They even rolled on a non dormant account. I tried to log on as the hacked account's owner and sent a pile of emails, texts, and robocalls to myself trying to reset the
password. Seems to get the attention of the owner.
Also I would detect the crook and commit to buy the damn thing without paying. Then turn around and leave negative feedback
stating SCAM, HACKED ACCOUNT
I can't tell you how many asses I have saved.

That sucks man! I have heard of people getting scammed by other scammers in ebay. So what is the best way to order other than ebay? ..Alibaba?

well, technically, you cannot use bitcoin on ebay, so in this case due diligence is simple.
aliexpress is not without a fault, but mostly small negligence in packing the exact order.
i did not even bother reporting those (like part(s) missing on a single riser out of 10).
i was scammed on ebay, but it is a rarity and typically occurs on high volume items, like bargain turbotax or windows/office.
one time turbotax selling hacker sold 100-200 (I was one of those fooled) of them before people realized that there is no shipping.
Well, ebay had to eat the loss because you can file the non-shipping report. It takes a while, but they will refund you.

I think that in most cases you can buy miner off ebay (for $$) and be reasonably confident that it would work.

If you have any questions I have been running four of them for a while.
11/29 is the latest firmware.
Takes 7 minutes to boot so be patent.
Really kicks the hashrate up nicely.
Fans spin fairly slowly so it seems quieter. Likes to run warm.
I even got a autotune replacement board for my regular s9.
If I run the autotune firmware the one board autotunes and the others don't.

Are you running the latest on the Autotune? I back dated mine to stop it from ramping up and down so damn much, does the latest still do this?

yah most people don't fly 10 minutes of cargo ...

For the autotune units 11/29 runs well. For 14 days now.

rwilliam45 on ebay has good units, he is reliable. Does not have any up right now.
If there is no selling feedback for a year or six months and they start cranking out $2000 items it is suspicous.

Did it get rid of that up down howl the machine is known for?

It does vary the speed but the fans run slower so it is more quiet. I have all mine at the datacenter down the street.
I bring them home to test or repair.
Last one I took over was doing very well in my garage.


I have "heater" s7's around the house running at 400mhz and 30% fans. Nice. Use client mode wireless access points. Stick them in a wire basket.
I can run them in the car all night and keep the ice away. Just need power and wireless router.
I use one corsair RM1000 to run each at 400mhz

not sure that i understand this comment.
UPS was flying directly from Shenzen. I rarely seen miner getting to Hong Kong before being shipped out beforehand.
Also, why would it go to Guangzhou from Shenzen when Guangzhou is further north?
In any case, they are late.

[NotFuzzyWarm]

I've always used UPS and until the last 3 orders, for the past 3 years  all went from Shenzhen to Anchorage and then DTW. The last few s9's I've gotten, the first of them took the scenic route: went from Shenzhen > Soul Korea > Seattle > DTW, the last 2 orders were Shenzhen >Narita > Osaka (via truck I'd think?) > Anchorage > DTW.

Most odd.

Crap, 12.93th hashboard light just went out. Will be going to Denver for repair.

Will be interesting to see what date the firmware is.

speaking of Denver, they have had one of my boards for over a week now and still no diagnosis. Not very happy with them at the moment plus another s9 I own that they repaired runs like shit.

Bitmain products are like a box of chocolates, never know what you are going to get

You need to poke them on your ticket.
Are they partying again? You know the week long kind of party?

How like shit is the s9?
I never sent an s9, just the hashboards.

hy

in the antminer s9 interface under Miner configuration i dont have the option to modify the frequency. Do i have to update some specific software to have that option. The reason why is that i want to lower the frequency because the temperature is to high. constantly working o0n 100 celsius
