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

[leowonderful]

hi guys,

after a little fear yesterday due to a fan that stoped working after a reboot, I wonder if some parts are " necessary" to have in stock when you have few S9.  ( I have mine since only 2 month )

Like one fan or two, a control board, a spare psu ?

thank you.  

I personally keep fans and PSUs for both my GPU rig and the few Antminers I still run at home. I seldom see true controller board errors and I've never had to swap one out on any Antminer before. Most of the time issues lie in fans and PSUs, and an error in these can be quite costly.

Hello, i am going to buy my first s9 this week. Does anyone knows where can i find coupons ?

send me a pm with your bitmain address

Here are all the certification documents for the S9: https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/224442167-Certificate-of-Conformity-for-S9

Are you saying that the Estonian customs do not accept those documents?  

He accepts them all. But these are only half the documents  to get a CE mark.

There is no Rohrs Certifications and Testing Protocols.

This is required by the EU Regulation DIRECTIVE 2011/65/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL. of 8 June 2011

I will be the one to offer my comment to your virgin post

Have you tried swapping the 2 PSU between the 2 miners?

If miners still cannot work, probably the power surge had already damaged your hash boards. If so, not sure if it is covered in Bitmain's warranty.

Try asking around some more, I think there might be someone here who can do repairs, if Bitmain's warranty don't cover power outage.

Good luck!

my order of 1xS9 from Bitmain has arrived in SG custom, since the 8th of March.

But the UPS tracking show that it is being held at SG custom, thats 8th, 9th, 10th, and today, total 4 days already.

Has anyone here has experience this when you recvd your miner?

Can advise whats the next course of action I can take, to expedite this process?

FYI, I've already called UPS and they said cannot advise why, and how. I'm like WTF...  Huh

I am surprised this occurs. Has UPS solved it yet? Have you paid your VAT? That might be the issue.

Someone claimed to be from UPS called me yesterday and asked me only 1 question - "was it for your biz, or for personal use?" I answered, "for my own use".

The person said, "ok, the parcel will be clear for delivery to you tomorrow." and hang up, before i get the chance to further the conversation.

Status in UPS tracking has since been changed to in Transit. But no sign of it yet.

U didnt ask why such a question was asked. Have u paid VAT? Because i believe the VAT is the same for personal or commercial use. This is an odd question

No, I didn't have the chance to ask. And no VAT paid yet. I paid VAT last time when 2 PSU delivered to me, by cash.

With the current prices of these miners and the coupons going round definately looking to buy some more, current ROI means nothing, got to think about the price rises of mined crypto in the long run!

S9 miner recvd. Nope, I wasn't ask to pay any amount of money for the miner.

Which is strange. I paid about usd$35 for the 2 PSU previous week (cost usd$220), and now no tax on the miner which is usd$2320 in cost.

U did not pay your value added tax on the shipment?? Looks like some kinda mix-up. U should have been charged.

Yeah I cut back a lot but figured if someone had a 300 or a 250 or any  other big coupon I would grab one more .
I had 17x 100 and when I ask a while back some one gave me a few 200's I grabbed some gear.

and I still have the 100's.

[leowonderful]

Does anyone know how the coupons were distributed (in terms of what amount is given)? I've seen posts everywhere about Bitmain coupons of varying discounts, but I'm personally curious as to what sort of purchase from Bitmain would warrant a $400 coupon compared to a $100 coupon. Haven't seen anything about that in my browsing recently.
