So
rocky2020 started a topic selling his mining gears under the subject
"TO sell : 7x S9i 16T/H and 10x M3X".
I am pretty sure that Bitmain never made an S9i 16TH miner, what the user is describing here is the result of
overclocking.
The actual label on the miner can only be on this :
Antminer S9i 13.5th
Antminer S9i 14.0th
Antminer S9i 14.5th
What he is trying to sell is
Antminer S9i 16.0th
My argument:
The title is incorrect, Bitmain never made an S9i that hashes over 14.5th ,what you are selling here is either an S9i 14th or at best case scenario, you are selling a 14.5th miner, if you are getting 16th out of them, it means you are overclocking them, that is a choice other buyers might not be willing to make, so be honest when selling something. Maybe something like this
Used Antminer S9i 14th "can be over-clocked to 16th".
Another member's reply:
just an FYI my Antminer S9i runs 16.5 TH/s with stock firmware. on the miner config page there is a drop down that allows me to go from 12.5 TH to 16.5 TH in speed. uses about 1440 watts though at 16.5 TH
My reply to that member:
So because you are using a firmware from bitmain, setting your gear to 16.5th is NOT overclocking? it literally says hashrate +2th. Also if we were to define "stock firmware" as the firmware that comes with the miner by default then your statement is not accurate, the firmware came out around mid 2019 and by then Bitmain never sold any Antminer S9i, you have manually upgraded the firmware, but that does not matter, there is no Antminer S9i that is labeled as 16th. If you agree with how OP describes his miner then you should be fine with people advertising their S9 19th because you can get that hasharte of an Antminer S9i 14.5th using a custom firmware.
My question:
Is that a proper and honest way of describing products? shouldn't he state that 16th is only obtained through overclocking?
