Antminer V9 4TH

[AerialGopher]

You can find miner here: https://shop.bitmain.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020180202105823805HM8v8gSy069D
Its located on Chinese web page. But there is no written which algorithm is.

Bitmain announced on twitter that they are selling Bitcoin Miner(mentioned one) here: http://prntscr.com/ibac3c  https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/961166562118975488

Since its "Bitcoin Miner" you can use your brain and conclude that its Algorithm is SHA256.

But those number TBH look pretty heave...5KW for 20TH...pricey...

Ok,  I just got an email, cliked on the link, read specs, and was like  WTF.. whats it do?   Just a simple mention of SHA256 is all that is needed, the A3 has Bake2b on its spec page...    So essentially they are dumping junk...
NICE!
There will be suckers that buy these.

Yep i got that one as well. http://prntscr.com/ibaf6o

Only if price order is not "Minimum order of five" it would be good. For new people that want to test how mining works for low price. But since its 5... Meh... Its only good for redistributors..

This V9 miner is actually most likely just a S7 underclocked & undervolted..

Back in the 2016 I tweaked a S7 to perform 4.2Th/s at 1066W (at wall) power consumption by using methods in this guide provided by sidehack.

Link to the guide thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1504228.msg16258852#msg16258852

I used one these hex files with PICkit3 for undervolting and underclocking a S7, batch 9  and everything went smooth.
I sold that miner but I'm going to do the same thing again soon to a S7 when the S9 arrives and I rearrange my miners and PSUs.
Here is my setup:

Antminer S7, 640/670mV,  4.223Th/s (60 min avg), 625 Mhz

Power supply: Enermax Revolution 87+ 1000W
Voltage: 227 VAC
Current: 4,7 A

Power (at wall): 1066,9 W

"Aaaaand throwing junk at people, so we can earn as much as we can! Let the sheeps buy all our old gear" - Bitmain is now rubbing hands and looking at their wallets.. Why that doesn't surprise me..

[AerialGopher]

It was a TYPO,  Its actually 14TH/s

Its not a typo. Just clarified...

[AerialGopher]

I know, I was just trying to be positive.... :-)

[barturas7]

S7 at 4TH for 1000W? Huh, that sounds oddly familiar. Wonder where they got the idea.

It does not look like s7? I compared the photos. Unless Bitmain had a burden to replace control units of all their old S7s.

[HagssFIN]

V9 use 135 of BM1580 chips.
S9 use 189 of BM1387 chips.
S7 use 135 of BM1385 chips.

Well, it is not a new thing that manufacturer renames a old design with a new name.

We have seen this before with AMD and their Radeon GPU series.

[R0MD0C1]

Save the planet, destroy all V9 !
Seriously, are they selling old hardware before move to another country (china restrict) ?!

[HagssFIN]

I see it very possible, that Bitmain is moving a lot of operation to the USA and Switzerland.

well if you look at it closely, you can see the white sticker on top of the black/yellow one and it 's off!

Lol true, that's lazy. 

They have just put a new sticker on top of the old one.

Yup i agree. they are lowering inventory and increasing sales. Making it easier to move out of china when the time comes.

...still many will buy it

I got the emails this morning and saw the specs page (which doesnt list algo ANYWHERE!!) and thought this cant be a bitcoin miner...it must be for another algo. Well that was until they posted on twitter sayin it was a btc and bch miner. It would be one thing to sell miners that r dated to clear a warehouse out...im perfectly fine with that idea and support it. Its a completely different thing to tell customers that it has a new model chip in it when in reality its an old outdated model chip. Thats just plain lyin.

Yes other companies rebrand the old hardware to sell them on but other companies actually improve the design or boost the specs a bit (in the case of video cards) or they slap 2 chips on 1 board....in other words they make the purchase worth while 9/10. This however is misleading and outright fraud in my opinion and im shocked that anyone would think this was a good business model to follow. I have free electronicity and even i wouldnt touch these. Space is a premium...power is not. I try not to hate on bitmain TOO much but this is terrible. I feel bad for the guys that r gonna get punched in the dick by this company.

If it is SHA256 then congratulations Bitmain for making something more shitter then a D3. Costs more in electricity lol

They just want to get rid of their old S7 units that are barely profitable anymore. There's still people that will probably buy them that either have near-free electricity or are clueless about mining.

[HagssFIN]

There will always be clueless people to buy whatever Bitmain decides to sell, and we can't do nothing about it..

[Kapz786]

The sad part is I bet they manage to sell a few even with the 5 unit MOQ. Funny how all miners are now in stock/shipping or shipping at a later date with the drop in crypto prices. Shady Bitmain tactics as usual
