Bitmain Launches the New Antminer T9 Bitcoin Miner

[GMPoison]

It is not bitmains fault that people cant understand this is industrial equipment meant for a datacenter and not for home use. I see so much blame going on because people cant run them at home. Stop being so ignorant and just accept these are meant for datacenters not bedrooms.

I thought the point of the T9 was that you could use it at home because they made it very quiet? Or is that a different miner they released?

They don't want you to mine at home because doing so would decentralize the system. They want to own every hashing power there is so they can fuck up bitcoin and can start their own shit coin. BTU.

Fuck bitmain.

You should really not spread this level of stupidity by posting it on public forums. Bitmain is the ONLY hardware producer that DOES produce a home miner, the R4. No other company has even attempted a home version of a miner with 14/16nm tech. Go put your tinfoil hat back on and look for conspiracies elsewhere please.

Actually Ebit E9 miner should not be that bad to use at home.

Also there is Hotmine (en.hotmine.io), who offers upgrade kit for old Antminers and also full package miners for those with no good old Antminer.
Hotmine X5 boards should be quite reasonable for home use with power consumption about ~500W.
I'm currently in talks with them about buying one X5 upgrade kit for my old Antminer S1.
I will also need to find Beaglebone Black board.
I'm planning to do a quick review/how-to if everything goes ok.

Hopefully you can get one. I would love to hear what you think of these.

The E9 is good on power consumption for a home use, but with only one fan they are noisy. About the same as an s7 at full speed.

[HagssFIN]

Ok, I stand corrected, so no Ebit E9 for home mining.

It's R4. But as with all Bitmain hardware these are dying like crazy

It is Bitmains fault if they ship DOA miners or with dead boards. Or if boards die soonish after they start working. Any company that would make this kind of equipment outside of crypto would be defeunct and sued in first month with this kind of shit.

Does anyone else find it odd that they are recommending the APW3 as the power supply for this batch?

At 1576w + 7%, I would think it would be too much for a 1600W power supply to run long term.

Yes I was wondering about that myself!

I wonder what could be so different in the design of the S9 and T9 that the T9 so much more inefficient

Does Bitmain ship To istanbul/Turkey ?

They definitely don't want you overclocking them that's for sure.

The T9 has less chips and they run at a higher voltage internally to make up the hash rate. That is where you lose efficiency and gain stability.

Look at sidehacks S7 undervolt project for parallels. If you have enough mining boards available you can find s7 boards that will hash at .22 but the average board becomes very unstable at those voltage and clock speeds. The best I was able to get out of undervolted s7s on average was about .25 stable over the course of days and weeks. The S9s are similar in that bitmain sets the voltage on the chips as low as possible to hit the efficiency rating they claim but it causes major instability and premature failure of the hashing boards.

How many btc it can mine per month?

 I believe Bitmain specifies that as 1576w "at the wall" using one of their own power supplies - the actual MINER usage would be closer to 1470 watts.

 A high-quality 1600 watt PS should be able to handle it, though it would be a bit marginal.
 SERVER power supplies are routinely specified for 24/7 usage capasity, most consumer-grade are not - though the higher-end stuff from EVGA and Seasonic tends to be reliable at very close to ther rated capasity in 24/7 service.

How many btc it can mine per month?

 A little over 0.006 a day right now, so about under .2 a month 'till difficulty goes up again.

Then its better to buy btc right away instead of mining.

How home miners are still profitable?

[NotFuzzyWarm]

Unless you and your family are deaf, the s9 and T9 are NOT 'home miners'...
Definitely made for industrial/commercial use.

wow sort of feel sorry for the people who paid 200$ more last week..
