Bitmain introduces the Antminer S17 Pro, Antminer S17, and the Antminer T17

[philipma1957]

Anyway looks like s17 are still sold out for first batch. Let's hope second comes soon in every regard for our friend philipma. Though he wont have to worry about a refund if he requests it. Sorry stryfe, what a shitty ordeal btw.

I will take you up on the refund.  I sent you a pm asking for it.

This is my idea...

I don't like ths miner...

For me is a miner only for farm ....
Over 2 kw
4 fan.....
Is impossible for a common user give this miner....
Where is decentralization?
I'm worried because only big farm with big money can do this type of mining...
I think that a small miner ( for example one antminer s9 ++++ with the same chips of this ) will be interesring for normal user...for example... a miner with 12 TH and 500 watt with a cost of 600/800 usd is perfect. ( 36 TH ( low power mode ) /3 = 12 ,  1300w /3 = 433 watt , 2366 usd /3 =788 usd....)
One this hypotetical miner is perfect for me..... for my home, for the home of most user...
Real decentralization for all people,  not only farm.
I don't know if is possible.. but i hope yes.
Bye.

Actually the solution to this is very simple: buy used when they start breaking. You don't need all 3 asic boards, just get one with 2 or one in working condition... The last miner for the home was the R4, sadly. Their only market are industrial warehouse miners where noise and power doesn't matter.

Buy a damaged S17 with a single working Asic board and put it inside a box like in Philipma's garage and you are gold. Don't worry, they'll break soon enough, they always do... And i hope by that time BraiinsOS is ported to it, who knows how much better efficiency can be squeezed from them.

PS: It uses 2 fans, not 4. The design since the S11 is the same: two pusher fans in one side. Canaan is using this design as well.

I cannot use paypal anymore - I ordered 10.6k worth of miners and paid with paypal - never got the miners (first and last time buying from a 3rd party that is not proven thru these forums)

Do mention the vendor, it is a service to the community.

first batch sold out in 14 minutes on the 9th, second batch went on sale on the 10th - lasted about a day before being sold out. Bitmain listed the two batch sale dates on their site/blog.

it was over a year ago - and I have forgotten tbh but I believe that I did post it up on here but that when I was just starting here and it may have been deleted. the majority of my first 50 or so posts were deleted - I think I had to make like 75 posts before they started letting them stay on the forums lol

what I do remember is that it was not a manufacturer order - it was a 3rd party seller and their website was offline within a month after they got my money.

In the photo on official site bitmain seems that the fan are 4......

That was my belief from the photo's as well. Definitely 4 fans, unless the pics are wrong.

Very well then, i stand corrected. I wonder how loud that thing is...

[Biodom]

I wonder how loud that thing is...

a bit like this (82dB):

Garbage disposal, dishwasher, average factory, freight train (at 15 meters). Car wash at 20 ft (89 dB); propeller plane flyover at 1000 ft (88 dB); diesel truck 40 mph at 50 ft (84 dB); diesel train at 45 mph at 100 ft (83 dB). Food blender (88 dB); milling machine (85 dB); garbage disposal (80 dB).

Possible damage in 8 hour exposure.

7 - and those 3 little ones may be the reason it's 82dB ...
(if anyone remembers the T1 ...)

When we are in Clifton  we have to wear headphones.

My guess is the noise level is over 90db inside the mining room.

hmm 4 fans... that will be different than the t15/s15 then that means the adapter to hook to ducting will be different as the screws will be different placements. working on the 3d printed adapters now, will adjust the screw holes to fit this layout.

They are out of stock

Any approximation when their next batch will be available?

the first run was about 14 minutes before they sold out the second one was just the next day and lasted most the day but was out of stock by the next morning.

I wonder if these will still be fine on a 240v pdu like 99% of the miners out there.  I like how they focus on 220v, but then list 240v as a option in the specs?

Well  the s15 had 2 psu's blow up at about 243 volts  which is not such a terrible number. For all bitcointalk users only 2 reports of a fail.

But this gear will be using a larger psu and pull over 2500 watts. In a way I am glad I had my unit sale get cancelled.

Once refunded I will report back that I got the refund.

Hopefully they can get batch three up soon and relieve back orders. Just all depends on shipping date. The nice thing about these last two were shipping in 2-3 weeks.

By any chance, do you already have an S15 ducting adapter 3D design done? I would be very interested on it

still testing it - I was making one that would fit the s15/t15/s11 based on the 4 screws that hold the back mesh on, but once I saw the S17 versions, I realized that would require two different designs if I use the screws that hold the back mesh on vs the ones that have the fans on the back (S17 versions) so I did some more research - took the front fans off of a T15 and saw that it just screws directly into the mesh --- so, long story short - if I make one that will fit the S17 versions, it should also fit all the ones without back fans because it would simply screw in where the fans would if they were there... at least that is my assumption, so I am working on making the new design and will test it on a T15 by fitting it to both the fans on front and to the mesh on the back.

I will share results as soon as I have it done. if it is required that two designs are necessary then I will get both done - but the hope is that one will fit both scenarios.

Looks like S17's are shipping
