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

[HagssFIN]

anyone send wires for the miners to bitmain?

on the order page, it says: Choose "PAY ALL FEES" when you wire payment

i dont see that on my wire processing page in my online banking. where is this option or do i have to go into the bank and manually do the wire there to have fees paid on my end?

All fees for the wire payment must be paid and you should ask your bank for more specific information at how to do that.

Maybe call them or send e-mail or send message via internet bank.

If you're using BoA then the fee is $45 and if paying online the total amount is calculated automatically and shown to you before you approve the transfer.  Also it may not matter since you're buying from Bitmain and they won't ship for a few months, but it's not uncommon for BoA to hold your transfer for a couple of days to do their day trading before sending it along.  This is pretty much common practice nowadays from banks.  If it was time sensitive or if you want to reduce your fee I would recommend buying BTC for your purchase.  You can get a good rate and there's tons of people who accept cash deposits into BoA on LBC.

Unfortunately Bitmain is not currently accepting BTC payments, only LTC and LTC must be done on the spot and received within 30 mins. So if you don't have the LTC ready to go it is impractical.

Hello guys. My S9 seem to have lost two hashing boards, probably due to overheating. One is showing half of the chips, but doesn't send off any shares and the second one doesn't get recognized at all. I have tried factory reset and few more things but nothing happened. Would like to try to put on newest firmware, just to make sure I have attempted all the options. Is there any other suggestion what I could do to try to repair it?
Could someone point me where is it possible to download the newest firmware?

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Firmware is NOT a solution to hardware issues.... The boards need repair.
The one not seen at all -- are its red lights by the PCIe plugs on showing the board power is good?

As for obtaining firmware It take it you never bothered to check Bitmains website did you?....

Firmware is not going to fix your problem. If its under warranty, open up a ticket with BITMAIN and wait. If its out of warranty, send it to BITMAIN WARRANTY located on Colorado. Those are pretty much your only options.

I understand the fees on my end, i send a lot of wires out. but the instructions say pay all fees. typically that means i have to pay the fees on their side. when they receive the money in usd, their bank probably charges them a fee for inbound or conversion, so i am assuming they are asking us to pay those fees.

do you send wires to them? via bank of america? any issues?

Lucky for us there's competition and we have other choices.

Well we have one other choice, yes. It's looking more and more attractive every time Bitmain ships me crap equipment. I'm hoping they turn this around quickly.

What competition? Something equivalent or better then ASICBoost?

Just received a S9. the hash rate is correct however it is not reporting the Temp (Chip1). Is this normal with the new batch?

Hello community, anyone can advise on this? Bitmain hasn't replied yet.
thanks.

I understand that you are a fan of all things BMT, but what makes you to be an expert on S9?  

1) I'm not a "fan".
2) Experience with ~1,000 units?

1% number could be accurate with regards to recent batches of autotuning 13.5Th machines, but initial batches (last summer, not autotuning) had up to 10% (or even a bit higher) board failure rate (within first couple of months) according to multiple sources, which was amply documented here and elsewhere.

Perhaps, most machines that you got were purchased during later part of 2016 or in 2017.

In summary, we have a better S9 in modification (from 12TH to 14TH) which have reducing the failure rate each batch, do we?

i have 3 machines from the earlier batches and i lost 5 boards from 9
1 of them sent for repair 2 times
2 of them sent for repair 3 times!
after repairing it and return it take from 1 to 3 months to stop hashing again
now i have one board on the way to then for the 4 time
and i have one with them it stopped after 3 days from repair and sent again under warranty to china ( the paid for shipping )

i have 6 autotune machine + 2 R4 and not lost a single board
i have room with digital control to make temp not exceeded 30C so temp on my room between 18 to 30C

Hi Guys,

I ordered an S9, back in june 16th of this year. The purchase has been confirmed but nothing since...

The S9 at time of my purchase (June 16th) was suppose to ship between August 16th and August 21st.
On a first pay first ship standard as they like to say Cf. Bitmain Website at the time of the purchase.

Does Anybody with the same batch of miner have any news ?
I know it is only one week late but after 2 months waiting, it feels like that miner will never come! lol

How late did you pay? Maybe you have to wait a little longer if you purchased at the very end of the batch, but you would think that it would ship out at least at the end of the time frame, not a week late. Are you sure it hasn't shipped already and is in transit? They do have a long way to travel.

It was the end of the batch for sure. They sold out a couple of days after I brought it.
Apparently shipping today August 28th from Bitmain. 1 week late. I don't like waiting... 

I hope the september L3+ batch will be on time.

Thanks.

I have received 2 miners from the same batch. shipped on the 20th.
The miners have only 1 temp feedback (Chip 2) instead of 2 (Chip 1 and Chip 2). Bitmain said it is the design. All my previous miners have both temp readings.

How much is your electricity price? Also for starters you should know that S9 produces a lot of heat and noise.
