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

[halfmil]

Just thinking about mining Litecoin Cash. How much we will get with this S9 13.5th?

I have been following this fork and it looks interesting. Supposedly it was created to give old bitcoin miners like s7's something to mine that would be profitable. Since the fork happened 2 days ago it has been mooning to over $9 as of now. But wallets are not available yet and therefore it can't be mined yet. But wallets should be ready shortly. There are only a couple of exchanges that support it at the moment like yobit and the only people that were able to sell it were litecoin holders on those exchanges when it forked and had LCC dropped into their accounts. I imagine when everyone is able to access their lcc and sell it the price will come down quite a bit. I'm just going off of memory from a form I read but I want to say someone calculated that they would be able to mine 26 LCC per day with about 60th but when everyone is able to mine the diff will jump a lot and price may come down a lot. Probably like the A3 did with siacoin. But it might be a good bet to mine it right now at least for a little bit.  There's a thread on it here  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2876538.0

If it becomes possible for old miners to mine this coin then the chain will become more profitable than BTC, which'll just result in people pouring into Litecoin Cash and profitability becoming even once again all over the board. Unless you're early to the show I wouldn't expect much.

I don't know, but the show is about to start. This is a sha256 coin and it is mineable with all bitcoin miners. Since my last post it looks like wallets have been released and the coin is being mined. The price did slip a little bit to around $7 but looks very profitable at the moment. This could possibly cause bitcoin diff to plateau or even drop a little bit at least for the moment.

I pulled two S7's that had just retired out of storage and put them on LCC last night when Suprnova announced they had a pool open.  In about 3 hours it will be 24 hours.  So far I have 2.5 coins mined.   Right now on Suprnova there are 609 workers mining.  Suprnova shows a Pool Hashrate of 22,410 TH/s and a global of 110015 TH/s.

Could anyone assist with my problem please?

I've tried multiple times on all 3 of my S9's just delivered last week and there is no status in the status page.
I've tried resetting it to factory settings, but same problem.

I tried downgrading firmware too, but the is the system page, there is no bmminer version.

Also tried nicehash too.

I am sorry for your troubles man. A little search lead to a whole thread which described your issue and different ways to solve it.

Hopefully it will help.

With 2 x S9's I mined about 9 LCC during 24hrs.

Wow not so bad. I am not be able to create wallet on Yobit, said temporary off. How you get the wallet? downloaded and install to your PC?

I installed on my desktop using the link from their download page

https://litecoinca.sh/#download

I also downloaded the Bootstrap to speed up the wallet setup.

With 2 x S9's I mined about 9 LCC during 24hrs.

So I took my own advice and threw 4 s9's towards mining LCC and after a 24hr pull I was able to get 32.5 LCC. Current price of LCC is $5.44 so each of my s9's are currently making $44.20 per day. With LCC slow block start the blocks are not even hitting their max of 250 LCC per block yet they are only up to about 175 per block right now. One of my units even hit a block of 159 LCC which would have been over $800 if I was solo mining. If LCC holds it's price it is currently much more profitable to mine then BTC.

It might show to be more profitable, but good luck selling it. YoBit's wallet is down so you cannot move any LCC to it to sell, luckily the price has rebounded somewhat. Who knows what the price will be once you can deposit LCC, and who knows if any good exchanges will pick it up.

I started mining LCC to HODL, not to sell.  The lack of a market this early on in its development concerns me not.  It could be argued that no market makes them cheap, just as much as no market makes them expensive.

Lets see how these turn out.  Only time will tell.

In the meantime, I'm happy to give my miners to the project.

Fair enough and I wish you luck. I am just very leery of this whole setup, althought BCash is still around so you may end up laughing all the way to your bank/wallet

I also have to give a big I told you so to the people who said I was wrong that folks would find a way to use SHA256 miners if BTC ever died!

I imagine yobit is waiting to make sure the chain is stable before letting deposits. They will probably open deposits within the next couple days. Devs seem to be active at working on the project and I expect LCC to be picked up by several other exchanges in the coming weeks. It just got listed on coin market cap today. Who knows what will happen to the price it's to early to tell. But right now this coin might have some legs and I am laughing at the people dumping their s9's on eBay for 2k and the guy that posted his elaborate chart about how the s9 will never roi.

The tactic is that they are being nice since they lowered the current batch of L3+ price.  This way, u buy at the same price as the current L3 Batch. I got a coupon for an miner I bought at higher price some time back too. They didnt have to do this.

Has anyone here bought S9's from http://bitmainantminershop.us? If so what was your experience?

1. They sell miners for less then bitmain how can that be possible?
2. They only take crypto payments.
3. 5 seconds of searching on google shows 100 posts about it being a scam site.

100% scam

Dont buy miners anywhere from random sites that you find on internet 100% of them are scams. Safe bet to buy is from here. https://shop.bitmain.com/antminer_s9_asic_bitcoin_miner.htm   Or if you don't believe my link. Just go here: shop.bitmain.com . Or type it manually in search bar.

[leowonderful]

MyRig also sells S9s, PSUs and other miners and they're a legitimate company. If you don't want to buy a preorder from Bitmain, though they do charge more than a lot of forum members charge here. If you're looking for the best price I highly suggest you check the Computer Hardware section, and if you find a deal, USE ESCROW.

Hello everyone,
what's a good price for the S9 14TH/s today?
Is 3500$ honest?

Thankyou!

They seem to be going for $2500 - $3000 for slightly used ones on eBay right now. Maybe $2800 - $3200 for a new one.

Maybe $3500 if it was new with power supply and you really wanted it.

I mean no disrespect, but why in the world would anyone pay a $1,000.00 premium for a machine with no warranty?
