Bitmain Launches the New Antminer T9 Bitcoin Miner

[kurbeks]

Hopefully reliability is ok for this one. I might buy this one.

[jackcantrell]

ok, link is working. Max order quantity 50

[-EOS-]

Less efficient? Dunno why they're even trying now. Don't see many people buying one, at least the S7LN had a few buyers. If they did something like the LN with the S9 I'd buy it but just looks like the one fan variant of the S7 they did a while back.

I would buy a LN variant of the S9 as well..

I'd guess the lower efficiency is because they upped the voltage to the chips - could be the instability seen in the S9 and R4 units is due to the chips having barely enough voltage to run in Bitmain's quest to make the most efficient miner...

Up the voltage and you get less efficiency but possibly much more stability.  Just my .02BTC

Possibly.  I did receive an email direct from Bitmain making me aware of the release today.  Part of that email stated they would not release another batch of S9 until Chinese New Year ended so it doesn't look like they are stopping production of that unit.

Looks like still s9 still a good choice to buy than this because of the power comsumption and the speed of miner..
Much better to choose batch 23 asic s9.. but we lets see what will be reviews about this new release.

[Colohub]

We went ahead and purchased 15 R4's and 20 of the T9's for our own operation. We will keep you guys updated and post some pics when they come in hopefully this week!

im jealous  lol , i wish i could afford to buy 5-10 or however many t9's , een being less efficiant then an s9 they would run for a very long time at my dc with my power rates

[tbonetony]

Another new variant of S9, but are we getting more S9's???

[Longsnowsm]

The efficiency comparison:

S9 11TH:
Power Consumption   1078W +10% (Batch 22) (at the wall, with Bitmain’s APW3 PSU,93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temp)

T9 11.5TH
Power Consumption   1450W  +7% (at the wall, with Bitmain's APW3 PSU, 93% efficiency, 25°C ambient temperature)

Guys please don't be suckered in by this Bullsh*t

Stop letting htem get away with this

ALL this is, is bitmain getting rid of their poor run chips, that didn't meet 29 effeciency, they banked them and just put them together.

SAME reason why the batch hash rates varied, they put good/bad boards together in other packages based ont he avg hash rate.

This is another way for them to pass on shit chips that didn't meet specs, and make you pay for them

30-40% more power??? Come on!

Paid an hour ago using bitcoin, confirmed 4 times, yet my order status still shows unpaid..

Anybody had their orders confirmed?

Suspense is killing me

Ours is still unpaid,just patiently waiting...

Assuming they needed to use low quality ASIC's somehow. Easy to overvolt and this is their answer. Are they using them in their new data mining centre? doubt it, unless they are for investors sections of the mining center.

If higher Voltage makes then run better. Why are we not seeing firmware to up volt the  R4 and S9?

In the case of the S9 it would mean you could only run it on 220v because the power draw would be too much for a typical 120v circuit... that is just a guess given the T9 is 1450w.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Same as other s9..
I hope that they  can release a good antminer that can run with low power consumption..
Or the speed is better with same consumption they are just releasing new but little bit similar.. of batch 22 of antminer s9.

I can't order, the add-to-cart link is not working. Is it sold out already?

Yes, although at times you can keep checking through the day as people don't fulfill their BTC transfers, I've seen them open it back up for sale.

[ZymurBits]

Seem to only offer FedEx or DHL shipping.  I have bad luck with both.  Need UPS please!
