oh, re: Typically when I want to reset the miner I just unplug it and replug it back in, and it normally hashes fine. As in the AC power plug? Don't do that... As you may have noticed there can be a nice fat spark from the high-side DC caps charging up. Rather hard on the plug and socket pins. If is a server supply there will be a DC-ON jumper or switch. On the Bitmain APW supplies it is the green jumper. Use that to switch the DC on and off.

I have noticed that the temperature sensor on S9 boards has an unusually high failure rate and it's taking down entire hashboards with it. When the sensor goes bad the board no longer hashes. This has happened on numerous occassions with our customers' gears. Does anyone know by any chance if there is a way to fix this. Does someone know where this temp sensor is located (picture would be really helpful) and if it can be swapped out/fixed/repaired, etc?

Also, if Bitmain provides RMA or part replacement for this sensor chip?

201704280713 * Remove the function: post mac address and remote stop mining interface * Fix a bug of memory leak. * Fix to support keep config when upgrade And that's why I said next week for trying 201704270135. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

The temp sensors are actually built into the chip itself. Problem is they only pull data from chip 63 so if that one has a problem you are out of luck. It will be fixed under warranty but there is basically nothing that you can do as an end user to fix it.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

"below Market' is a relative term. All depends on what currency exchanges you and Bitmain uses. There are several and can often be a fair spread between them. One site of many to compare exchange rates: https://bitcoinity.org/markets/coinbase/USDAnd this is not s9 question. Belongs elsewhere, possibly under Markets?

It is the price that BITMAIN gives consumers that buy the S9/T9. They list price in US$ and then they use 1245 when everywhere was trading $100 above that (and even BTC-e was above that) as their exchange rate for consumers to pay. How do you think that does not concern the S9?

Look, I do not want to be a douche, but who made you the decision maker? Read the OP. If you have problems understanding the Original Post Subject line, let me know and I can help. Let me know in the subject line where YOU feel "Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order" is a subject that is NOT about ordering their S9 miner. I have a question about ordering their miners and how they calculate price. Want to apologize about this being off topic?

Pricing is everything that comes to hardware these days. I've seen this also at my work as electrician.
Me: this device X is a little better and reliable than the cheaper one but it costs little extra Customer: let's go with the cheaper one

BITMAIN, how do you calculate the US$ to BTC exchange price on your site. I see it move, so it is a derivative of some index but what one? It seems to be $50-100 below most exchanges in the last few days.

I caught them on this months ago they own hashnest and were posting btc way higher then they were on the s-9 page they fixed it. If you go back on this thread I have screenshots that they did this.

Dammit Bitmain why you go so cheap on the design/build quality? Do they not realize that if the miner dies out of warranty they are just basically screwing their customers out of ROI. Should these things not be built well enough/smart enough that they will last more than 6 months before killing themselves.
