Ebit e9 miner with 6.8Th/s from Ebang company a new rival for existing producers

[Zeek_W]

Are they swtichmode powersupplies? As in do they provide 240V and 110V or just 110V?

You're terminology is incorrect, what you're asking about is Voltage auto sensing, not switchmode.

Was gonna say wth myself but resisted. So much for that idea...

Ya. 'Switch-mode' refers to how the power is controlled. It is chopped on-off very fast and the average on-time determines power out. Very efficient. Often used for DC regulators but also applies to AC systems eg a dimmer switch.

The other way to to it is using Linear control. Very clean output but bulky and not efficient as the voltage difference between the DC feed supply and output is directly impressed across power transistors and dissipated as heat.

My bad! That's what happens when you have a few too many beers. I was meaning if the AC input side of these (I think I read that the powersupplies are included) are both !10V and 240V either with a physical switch or accept AC input voltages in the 100-240VAC range.

The miners look to be made well and the current one I have is hashing at almost 6.5Th.  The fact that these can be used on 110v power since they only use 900 watts or so is a bonus.  power requirements are 6x 6-pin PCIe power connectors (3 for each board) and my killawatt shows around 1000 watts, but you cant use my numbers as they only way I could power this with 110v (in order to use my killawatt) was to use 2 power supplies (1 for each hashing board).  So true power usage with 1 power supply should be closer to the 900 watts.

power supplies are NOT included.  I used my own and was just testing these miners on 110v in order to get a killawatt reading (i should really get a 220v model).  the real issue here is these miners are actually a real product and they perform as advertised.  Anyone wanting to get some hash power in a relatively short amount of time (compared to Bitmain) should look into these as a potential solution.

one issue I do have with these miners that I didnt bring up initially is that the placement of the 6x pci-e power connectors and the RJ45 network plug is on the same side as the direction the air is coming out.  I have my miners currently in a setup where the hot air is being blown out a window, so I cant make a "nice" fit due to the power and network cables running around the miner to the back.  I dont run a large mining operation (4 or 5 miners max at a time) so it really doesnt pose that big of an issue to me.  if I were to have several of these it would pose a problem, but with 2 I just deal with it.

I'd hoped you had the imagination to supply that information for yourself.

But if you asked nicely I could list out all the pro's and con's of both miner's...

This isn't really an ebit vs avalon thread though.

But why can't we compare these two miners? It's an e-bit miner discussion thread, right?

[TunerDude007]

Is it really as loud as an s9?

[beltsniffer]

Is it really as loud as an s9?

Yes, it is just as loud. I have 5 of them.

Ebang are going to release a 9th miner this month.
I saw them announce on Reddit and have messaged eBang, asked them to join here and post in this thread.
I was going to order some E9's but now I'll wait I think.

[HagssFIN]

They now have a product page for the Ebit E9 Plus 9Th/s.
It costs 1100 USD, produces 9 Th/s hash rate and consumes about 1300 W (not including PSU efficiency).

It still has about the same hash rate per power consumption rate as the previous one.

Wouldn't be worth it for realistic mining like all other products they release. At this price point buying an S9 or T9 is more efficient and gives a faster ROI with better hashrate. Unless you are a hobby miner or collect miners, wouldn't buy it at all. Even their older ebit E9 is better for a more economic miner.

[HagssFIN]

Yeah, it is shame that there is such a big efficiency gap between the S9 and Ebit E9 

[Rabinovitch]

May be the unreliability of Bitmain SHA256-miners and all the RMA issues are the price that we (miners) should pay for this hypothetically faster ROI?..

[TunerDude007]

if its quieter i'll take it over a S9....If anyone here has one could we get a report please.

My order experience from start to finish:

Paid $1334 via PayPal for 2x Ebit 6.3Th miners on 4/16/17 around 9:30pm CST.  After payment I forwarded the paypal confirmation to ebit@ebang.com.cn (per their instructions).  I had not received a response after 24 hours so I sent another email on 4/17/17 asking if I needed to initiate a chargeback through paypal and I got a response back from Lynn Xie on 4/18/17 asking for more information for shipping.  I provided that and then I was asked for my fedex shipping account info because the $1334 did not include shipping.  I told them I wanted to know the shipping cost because if it was too much I would just cancel.  She replied back with a quote of $100.  I then added her on my Skype (username was in her email from her email) and used that as my mode of communication from then on.  I replied back saying send me a paypal invoice and I'll send payment right away.  Since it was the weekend for them (april 22 and 23) I got an invoice late on the Sunday 4/23 evening (Mon 4/24 for them) which I paid promptly.  I emailed the paypal confirmation per her request and provided her with more shipping verification (address, company name, etc).  on Mon 4/24 I received a skype message asking if I could pay $50 more for shipping, to which I replied I pay less than $100 for 2x Antminers from Bitmain and receive them within 3 days of shipping.  She checked the shipping price again and then notified me they had shipped (received that notice around 3am CST Tues 4/26).  I was provided with a tracking number and they were shipped international economy, which apparently takes 4-5 business days to get to Louisiana.

The miners look to be made well and the current one I have is hashing at almost 6.5Th.  The fact that these can be used on 110v power since they only use 900 watts or so is a bonus.  power requirements are 6x 6-pin PCIe power connectors (3 for each board) and my killawatt shows around 1000 watts, but you cant use my numbers as they only way I could power this with 110v (in order to use my killawatt) was to use 2 power supplies (1 for each hashing board).  So true power usage with 1 power supply should be closer to the 900 watts.

Overall not a bad experience with a company that I had never ordered from, allowed payment using paypal, different language, and a 13 hr time difference.  While the price per terrahash and the power efficiency is not as good as an Antminer S9 or T9, the fact that you can use 110v and get a 6.3Th miner for $717 seems to be a good deal ($717 cause that's half of $1434 total cost).

There is no pictures in this link can you please update it again and any other review for this company because i am also interested to buy some of gears from them.

And Ebang finally has this in stock!
At the moment when posting this, I can see stock: 188 pieces.

This is now a good option in the about same efficiency class as current gen. AvalonMiners.

interesting but even asics in the us can be sourced for around the same price range

[Bajula]

anyone run into where you set the new mining pools and when it reboots it returns to the original? mine is doing that every single time.

[swedenrt]

Hi,

Can you send this to Barcelona?what is the optimized hash rate?

[wavelengthsf]

I ordered one of these yesterday.

From my experience, the sales process echoes what was previously reporting.

1) The sales prices on the website does NOT include shipping
2) In order to get the shipping price, you need to connect via Skype with one of their employees. They have their names on the site in the little skype widget.

It seems like shipping is somewhat negotiable - their initial price was $75 higher than the final price we settled on.


Will post a review once I have it up and running (and of course when it is shipped.)

[Bajula]

Addition you "can" pay via btc, but you have to talk to them to set it up, and the "conversion rate" I'm pretty sure was someone guestimating because it was a bit high and nicely rounded. Shipping was FAST though. I got it several days earlier than I anticipated. They also seem to ignore trying to change anything from a wireless connection. On the website under support-tools there is a program you can use for configuration from a windows comp connected via ethernet cable (can be through router) The buttons are misleading though, they appear to suggest the way you are connected... but lan is to control turning on dhcp or setting static ip etc.. the cross gateway use will do mining settings/freq etc... in theory it could change settings on a whole slew of them at once. So.. kinda neat. Webinterface was all in english for this one.

If anyone finds the ssh user/pass to get it I would really like to know, I fiddle with nearly every miner I've ever gotten and it bugs me when I can't get "under the hood" software-wise.

[wavelengthsf]

Did they send you any communication when they shipped?

[Bajula]

They told me (in skype) the day they were going to ship it, then day after shipped I got on skype and asked and they gave me the tracking number. Since it was entirely in skype and via btc not sure if they would normally send info (i.e. the order never went into the system from me placing it at the website)

Side note: no #xnsub so now I REALLY want to get in via ssh and change cgminer.
