Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
Interesting.... Thank you! guess I'll have to buy one ..
Never buy 1.......always buy at least 10
haha, you see, I have special hardware that identifies broken chip in the chain. I need to check if it works with S9(i) version.
It communicates via serial interface through the 18-port wire that runs from controller board, but I am not sure if different voltage will make my device unusable... hope it won't...
I have that too, pretty damn expensive
1. How much did you pay for it? (if you don't mind
)2. Have you checked it on S9(i)? I just bought one to be delivered in June, have to check if it works or not...
I really would not like to buy miners that I cannot fully test/repair myself... I think you have similar thoughts.
So say you've identified a faulty chip. Can you locate it physically, and then do you just replace that chip with any other chip from a replacement board or they are all individually assigned for each slot?
No assignment my dude, which made me very happy.
Just replace with the fresh one, or with the one unsoldered from another board.
But you know sometimes you also have to check voltage values of the other board components, because sometimes other components break too.
Ah thanks. How much is this hardware and where can you buy it from? ANd do you get the boards of ebay or another source?
