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

[bsp]

No problems.
There are LOTS of un-official resellers. They would never sell for prices at or below official Bitmain website.

S9 is very hard to come by these days. Since BTC is like $16K today.
Even if you purchase S9 for $4000 it would take you approximately the same time to recoup price difference (Market price - official Bitmain price) if you wait and purchase from official source.

Good answer. I have never bought a miner from anywhere other than the manufacturer. And while Bitmain is out of stock (by choice) more than in, it’s worth the wait for a number of reasons.
—Trusted Supplier
—Guaranteed new hardware
—Warranty
—Not a scam (if Bitmain, Avalon, few others)
—Lowest price
And as BSP said, more than likely your not going to make a profit quicker going elsewhere.

There are a very few “authorized dealers “ but usually their inventory follows Bitmain’s and The prices are higher.
Every time the price of bitcoin jumps like this, the big scammers come out for an easy buck. A lot of uninformed people searching for a deal, thinking they can buy a miner online easily because they can buy everything else online.

Normally I would also say for warranty, but Bitmain the pathetic company they are have been fixing my S9 for 5 weeks already under this so called warranty.
Not to mention their Status only says that they received it for over 4 weeks already.

I paid 5.22 BCC and all I got was this lousy cucumber, now they won't even answer my tickets???

P.S can one over clock a cucumber, if so how so?

Dr Octagon hates salad

noted. And I am supposed to write something constructive and informative:

Best ways to eat a Cucumber:-
Mix with yogurt. Cucumbers are believed to have originated in India before spreading to Europe thousands of years ago, so let's start there. ...
Stuff them. Halved and with the seeds scooped out, cucumbers look like little canoes. ...
Cook them. ...
Drink them. ...
Pickle them.

Hope this helps.

Does the bitmain router only mine when other network activity is low? And does mining slow down the router's other performance?

[undeadbitcoiner]

What is the next batch? What is the status on that? I check bitmans website almost everyday but every time I see out of stock nothing else than that which is f^^^^^g frustrating. I just want to know when you guys open new batch and how long you guys leave it open for sales. Looking to start 200 miners farm but starting from 20 now.

Answer from Bitmain or experienced miner buyer will be appreciated

[VRobb]

Same answer as always: When Bitmain announces it - watch Twitter for best early warning if you feel the need to keep shoveling money to these guys...

I am looking to purchase some Bitmain S9 rigs. Since the original manufacturer has sold out of their January 2018 batch I am looking for an alternative vendor/reseller as i'd prefer not to wait until March 2018 or April 2018 for DragonMint (Halong Mining). However, I don't want to pay double the cost for something I can alternatively wait a few months for.

Does anyone have any legitimate vendors that they have used to purchase Bitmain S9 rigs from? I was looking at Bitcoinware.shop, but I am unsure given some of the feedback I have seen on this website.

Thanks so much in advance.

Dont JUST DONT. Dont buy miner from any site other then Bitmain or you will get CUCUMBERED. Most of the sites are bullshit "Legit Bitmain Distributor"... Legit my ass. Bitmain doesn't have any distributors, and most of the time you will lose your money, and never see it again. You can buy it from Ebay for 3-4-5k or just wait for Bitmain.

What is the recommended Chip temp for S9?
Im currently running between 85-91C.

under 95 c  is okay

over 100 c is not so good.


in-between 95c - 100c   is unit to unit.

based on  use of 20 units from  June 2016 until now.


also room temps   can be cold  10c  or warm  35c

and inbetween.

Getting a couple S9's online, 14TH batch. Any way to adjust the fan speed and Clock anymore? cold basement and chips are 68-71. I'd like to turn fans down for noise and run chips around 88-92. I remember seeing a URL link to still access the fan and click settings, latest shipped FW does not have those options anymore.

I think you are correct, which is certainly unfortunate. Everyone agree with this?

Even buying from eBay I would be reluctant unless it is a 'cash on collection' approach where I can go and pick up the goods myself before handing over any money. There are just way to many scams out there right now.

The best approach is to wait for the next batch from Bitmain.

Ordered a couple months ago directly from Bitmain. I was the December batch, just received them yesterday. Tempted to sell some since going for over 5K on Ebay, but who know BTC could be 25k in a couple months

I got mine Friday, hooked it up to make sure it worked and listened to the wife bitch about how loud it is.  On E-Bay now...  The L3+'s she can deal with, but the S9 is just too loud!!

Who or what? Miner or wife?

Yea, its loud. I'm trying to see how I can turn down the fan speed from 4200 to around 3200. My temps are low and miners in basement so its cold down there. Last winter I ran 3 S7's for heat and 3000-3200 RPM was fine and manageable noise.

You can always build a box with intake and exhaust holes and soundproof it.

I've seen that, but I remember someone posted a miner config link that still lets you adjust fan speed and clock settings....I prefer to do that
