Innosilicon releases A9 Zmaster 50ksol/s Equihash miner at 620W

[Gedaskv]

I think this speaks for itself.

I've switched both my miners away from Nicehash to MPH, and I'm getting a steady 50KSol/s+ from each miner, backed up on the dashboard at MPH. Less than 1% rejected shares and no HW errors...and no dropped connections.

So it would seem, MPH is far more reliable than Nicehash, and consequently a higher return rate - would that be the feeling from other people on here ?

NOT SURE ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE ACCORDING MY EXPERIENCE NICEHASH IS HIGHER RETURN IN BTC. i COMPARED 2 DAYS MINING. IN EUROPEAN SERVERS AT LEAST.

How much per hour on Nice Hash?

I'm about $3.40 a hour on nicehash. The thing for me is it's very consistent with payouts while as of the last few days WhatToMine shows the coins moving up/down in profit very quickly, so without switching coins I don't see how I can beat nicehash. I hope I can because I'd rather be mining coin! I know I can just buy them but it's not nearly as much fun... Anyone care to give easy instructions to enable the A9 to be controlled by AM? I found this post but can't imagine it could be this easy?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4547429.0

I got putty and know how to ssh in, use vim, etc.. Just got no clue at that point.

It's in this thread at this response: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4432819.msg43100055#msg43100055

username and password is earlier in this thread.

Thank you!

To be 100% certain before I do it, here are the steps??

login via putty

remount file system to read write:
"mount / -o rw,remount"

edit cgminer.service with vim
change this:
"ExecStart=/bin/cgminer -c /etc/cgminer.conf --api-listen --api-network --syslog --text only"

to this:

"ExecStart=/bin/cgminer -c /etc/cgminer.conf --api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:0/0 --syslog --text only"

Save/exit/reboot

Then AM will have privileged access?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is what I had to do. I wasn't able to get xpulse's method to work (even though it should have).

It will be interesting to know how much you will get more than nice hash per 12h, because if miner will stop to switch to other pool it will reduce average mining rate. Also need to pay exchange rate to get BTC. I don't think so that now it's any better than nice hash if it working stable. Last night was not good as previous, but it mines more than 0.01 BTC/24h....

I just got my a9's and i did the firmware upgrade as suggested by the miner's firmware page. Well now i get a ton of hw errors, over 3 times as many accept shares. i am looking for the previous firmware versions. I tried what was suggested in the previous threads for downloading previous versions but to no avail. I am stuck with the 7/20 (really 7/6) and very low hashrates and tons of hw errors.

help please
thanks David

Hi everyone, i try to update my firmware but when i click on : Check for firmware updates. (CHECK NOW) he find unlimited... and dont work.
So i download the last firmware on the website innosilicon "b29+_20180720_152600.swu" (20th july)

I upload it , update with it , and when i check on the overview
Update currently is : b29+_20180706_042116 (6th july)

Hey Everyone,
Stupid question, but I haven't purchased from INNO since Dec. of 2013!

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on the A9 deal.
Can you tell me how quickly you received a response from shipping after confirming wire transfer?

Rough maths show some pretty good returns, especially if the free Sept. batch ships.
I'm game.

Wire confirmed on my end Monday. Nothing from Inno.
I must have picked a terrible time to order.

Should I expect a confirmation email or shipment notification prior to arrival?
Just trying to manage expectations.

Seems kind of long but they did just release the T2 Turbo this week, probably caused a lot of traffic for them. I would contact with your order details. Sort of like my last antminer purchase the unit showed up and my order still read unpaid, still might actually.  . ..

I sent the wire to them monday, they confirmed receipt thursday, sent me shipping info friday. In the email they said 'we've shipped your miners' (plural). I thought it was one now and one in sept, I'm assuming it was just a grammatical error caused by a translator, but has anyone received their BOGO 2nd miner with the first delivery? The DHL track says 2 boxes, but I'm thinking one is the PSU...

It's the PSU.

Comparing it to the Z9 mini it will surely do around more than 5 rounds of hash rates.

Can anyone recommend a good Zclassic pool for the A9? Suprnova is only like 75% efficiency for me. Need something better.

Thanks!

I am interested in what coins most miners here are mining.

I am mostly doing only ZEC.

BTC - nicehash, with all disconnects blah,blah,blah final payment is more... We more lucky A9 is working on Nicehash.... Z9 not working at all

Final payment what are you averaging per day per A9 miner in BTC?

I am currently averaging 0.0101112 BTC per day per A9 miner in NanoPool

~0.0837246 - 0.103444 depends on day.

If you'd like to share, how many A9s do you have?

I have 5. 3 always have over 50K hash rate. 2 are always a little under.

1 A9 - usually get me 36-38 kH/s on any pools... not even get more than 38 as total on pool. I'm talking about pool hashrate, not miner stat... and not about peaks. And my numbers it is not a calculator numbers, it is real payments to my wallet without fees.

maybe you want to try mining solo ? so all your mining will totally deepends on your hashing and luck
we've a zcl pool but zero miners atm --> https://nibirupool.com

Should help you find a few on the ZCL site.

Has anyone seen this problem ?

Have just set up Awesome Miner, and its connected fine to my two A9's. I've enabled privileged access but Awesome Miner is reporting incorrect hashrates for both miners.

The miners are reporting 50ksols/s+ each, and Nicehash is also reporting that hashrate, and the returns also support that hashrate, but Awesome miner is reporting only between 5 and 10Ksol/s which is widely inaccurate.

Has anyone else seen this. Awesome Miner vesion is 5.3.3 on Windows 10.

Thanks

Yep, mine are the same... I'm still using the original firmware on the A9, don't know if thats the issue but Am reports me making way way less than what is accurate for the A9. AM reports accurate results for me GPU rig.. I'm in the same boat, just got to ignore the AM reports for the A9.

[Andartis]

So far everything was fine on nicehash. Now I get a lot of drops of hashrate. So far it was really stable though. Can anyone confirm these drops / dips of hashrate?

Regards

[nadeaup]

Awesome miner reports properly if you are running latest firmware and latest version of awesome miner.
