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

[wolfen]

My graphs showed some hours of nearly no hashrate. Probably the pool was online but didn't work. It's a bit strange, that the actual graphs don't show this outage anymore.

Great, so I am not losing it. That sucks.
Maybe I'll switch to f2pool until they sort it out.
antpool 1.5% fee f2pool 4% fee so I use antpool normally with f2pool backup

You do realise that the actual Antpool fee is much higher because miners are not getting shares of the tx fees?
Use slush or kano.is for example, that's my advice.

Does f2pool get tx fees?

F2Pool keeps all the tx fees, no tx fees for miners.

Transaction fees are becoming more and more important part of the miner reward as days go by.

Threw my s3 into my car last night with wifi to supply heat.
Went down to 10F outside.
This morning showed 250C, fans at 3500rpm 0.0 hashrate.
Went and checked and it was cold.
Brought back inside and now it is running ok.
Was having some problem with networking on that s3. Trying another tonight.

antpool servers are down for more than an hour
i have slush as a backup and my miners transferred to it

Was selling a few s7's on eBay.
Turns out that there is a drop ship company in Newcastle DE that buyers out of the country send to.
At that point the item can be shipped all over the world.
Then the buyer will ask for a return or more items than were actually purchased.
So be careful with buyers with a Newcastle DE shipping address.
eBay knows about this scam and location.

good info. if the buyer asks for a return they have to pay out the ass for shipping back to you. ebay wont refund them without them sending it back. also overseas orders usually take a while to go through customs on the us side and on their end but the tracking info you have will provide everything ebay requires which is that is was delivered on xx date at the DE location. if it takes another 2-3 weeks to arrive overseas you can tell ebay it tooks them xx weeks to tell you there was an issue and dispute the return. its best to speak with a rep on the phone so you can explain it to them directly instead of trying to settle the dispute through the online dispute section because humans dont check the dispute usually....their automated system accepts just about all return requests even if you know the return is phony.

ebay is asking for registered phone number and zipcode now when you call for service.

Side note.
Keepkey is $250 on amazon and $200 on ebay

Fishisfast.com has a DE warehouse where things are shipped to and then sent overseas.

The buyer can buy items to send overseas. First it sits in a locker in DE.
Then they can make a return claim with eBay and blackmail you to send money for things not included or some partial refund for a defective item that is not really defective.
Problem is when they use the drop ship company it invalidates the buyer protection for them.
Just had two return requests cancelled because the buyer protection was invalid on both because of the drop ship.

This is a good time to diversify with Altcoins ETH/Dash/XMR/ZEC.  These Rigs are easily built provide you follow the guidance of others on reputable forums.

Doesn't sound like a "problem" to me lol. as long as you know the rules on ebay and don't get greedy selling miners should be smooth sailing. you can never know when someone will try to scam you but that's when selling anything really. I had more scammers hit my laptops i resell than my old miners i resell after upgrading. Just be sure to mark the miners somewhere and take pics of the serial numbers and sticker locations for the boards in case a buyer decides they are going to send you back boards that didn't belong to that miner in the first place. it only takes a few minutes to mark a board and take pics and it could save you some time later on if you do run into a scammer but they aren't as widespread as people think.

I agree, not widespread. Only problems with 2 out of 20. Those were the dropship sales. And everything square now with those.

I have two 13.5th autotunes that came with the Dec 6 firmware. Looks like the Dec 6 firmware takes 8 minutes to fully boot, Nov 29 was seven minutes.
Got a bit leery at the 7 minute mark when the green light was not flashing.
First autotune freaked me out the first time with the long boot sequence.

edit
Looks like the two 13.5th have different controller boards. One is the new bright green led model, the other is the older non-bright green led.
They both hash at 13.5th.

I have a pre-autotune S9 and recently I reverted it back to BM v1.0. Boot time takes less than 1 min and works for all temp ranges. The autotune fw for some reason would overheat when my temp raises above 0 degC.
