S9's are up for like $2300 on Bitmain right now.  March 1-10 shipping.

thanks, bought 4 

It's not a good time to send BCH.  Miners are only getting like 4 blocks an hour.  Taking forever to get to 6 confirmations.

i'd really like to know why they jumped from 1415USD that I paid for them to 2320usd now.  I was reading on another thread they think these last batches that came out early was some older ones they re-conditioned.  Had the issues with the fan ramping up and down, and some other details that were very similar to the early s9's that had same issues.  I have not owned any before, but I do know that 2 of the 4 that I had received had different fans on them, and they were not the same as each other also.  I wondered about that.  but the other two had the same fan ( with yellow sticker) as the first s9 i got back in November.

Something is going on with it. _ I really wonder why the firmware of Nov 15 that is on a couple of the new S9's is not on their website. They still have Aug 15 there.  Strange......

Personally, I am waiting to load up on the Canaan A8 series miners. I hope they make enough of them to fill demand. I eventually want to get to the 300TH/S range. We shall see.

Come On Lady Luck, you beautiful Anime Princess. Find us a block.

Mine On with Kano-San, KANO the best Bitcoin Mining Pool on Earth.

I was curios to know the amount of data 1 S9 used.. So I looked on the stats on my switch.  This was for 1 full week of 24/7 mining ( I think there was a power cycle but nothing major)

This is on the Switch port for 1 S9

Was looking to see if I can use a cellular backup in case internet connection goes down. 

Those numbers above were for a full 7 days.

I have a cellular modem on backup - data usage seems fine for more than a few miners

BLOCK DANCE TIME!

Well the packet count to and from the pool is pretty simple:

All data coming and going is well under 4kb so never be more than a single packet.

Shares sent (and a reply):
18 shares a minute * 60 mins * 24 hrs * 7 days = 181,440 packet sent and replied.

Work received (and a reply):
2 work per minute * 60 mins * 24 hrs * 7 days = 20,160 packets received and replied.

So that says about 200k packets sent and received per week.
Hmm I wonder what the other ~400k packets are that you're seeing ...

Monitoring? Firmware updates? Bitmain hidden code?

As for the amount of data:
A share is about 190 bytes sent to the pool (for a 15 byte user+worker name) and a 92 byte reply.
Work is a bit under 1400 bytes received from the pool and a 52 byte reply.

So using those numbers:
181,440 * 190 + 20,160 * 52 = 35,521,920 or a bit under 36Mb sent to the pool a week per miner.
and
20,160 * 1400 + 181,440 * 92 = 44,916,480 or a bit under 45Mb received from the pool a week per miner.

I think there is quite a lot of non-pool traffic in your numbers.

I realized after I read your post...  Yeah, I have two instances of Awesome miner monitoring the S9's  So my Big Data on them is probably mostly from there! I also did do firmware upgrades on a couple.    Haha  Funny..  I should sniff the network and see if there is a bitmain hidden code!  Their firmware isn't the most up to date on their website..  so Might be something I'll check into.  Sniff Sniff....

You must love numbers...  That was alot of math :-P

Very interested in what you find...sniff, sniff..... could they be multiplexing your hash? Holding back blocks? Interesting, yes that is a lot of extra traffic on your port for just "mining". Keep looking, Antpoo has not been the award winner for ethics.

How long does the password timeout last on Kano? 
I can remember mine and the reset is blocked too.  Very annoying.
I can’t do anything.

Who is using an android app to track miners on KanoPool?
I found this app for MiningHub: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2067709.0
Looking for something similar to monitor my S7s when I'm out and about.
Thanks!!

[tke1600]

Anyone know the difference between normal blocks and the ones that are "NYA Segwit2X"?  How do they effect difficulty, etc.

There's an android app listed on the first post, though I must admit, I've not used it in a very very long time.

Great news! 

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has reportedly claimed it can pressure local governments in the country to regulate bitcoin miners’ power usage.

Less power = lower hashrate??? yay!

BLOCK DANCE!
