so far (I am in the US) 21 miners ordered and paid for and so far zero in taxes.... knock on wood.

was that 2k a miner? so 10,500 usd tariffs coming at you.. it’ll be worth it imo adds 2-3 months to reach ur roi maybe

the price drop and bear market last year was a major factor in difficulty dropping because it became more expensive, if 75% of mining is coming out of china unfortunately the usa is not the center of the mining universe, what so ever ! my opinion anyway .. bitfury up here in canada churns out a lot of custom servers for company’s as well.

2 years ago i got away with a batch of 10 s9is and i guess bitmain didn’t include a slip for value and when dhl contacted us about the value i said they were warrantly replacements 200$ value each and dodged most of the duty lol not sure how they screwed that up but was a blessing.

Okay i found my answer by searching out new videos uploaded in the last few days

S17 Pro in Normal mode: power meter shows 1109 watts pulled from 1 plug, if it is in fact 50/50 that’s 2218ish watts so let’s say 42watt/T

Video below :

Got my first S17 Pro (50TH model) up and running.  As smooth of a startup as typical with Antminers.  Just plugged in both power cords and viola.

I've only tried "normal" mode so far and I'm getting 51 TH on average and about 2050 Watts measured with my smart switch.  So right at 40 J/TH efficiency.  The noise seems similar to other antminers.  Not noticeably louder to me but then again I have 40 antminers running in my garage so I probably wouldn't notice.  And I haven't tried turbo mode.

Edit1: Turbo mode results: 57 TH, 2500 Watts - 43.8 J/TH.  Pretty impressive! And not really any louder that I can tell.

Edit2: Low power mode: 40 TH, 1540 Watts - 38.5 J/TH.

Below is a pic of it and the dashboard.  I'll be trying the other modes when I get a chance.

could you test how much power each cord is pulling on normal and turbo mode?

Imagine you could use a splitter? Or not a good idea?

https://www.tripplite.com/products/splitters~5-33

that will burn the cords because they are rated 10A

if that worked that cord would need to be something like 20a and depending on the length a lower gauge (thicker) wire to carry that load

I have a couple 220v 20amp but a few spare 15A i want to use up i wonder if it'll take a 110/120v plug with sep. breakers for one s17 pro, i dont like the warning lol.

request for whomever gets theirs first when you make some videos could you post the plugs with voltage /watt meters to show how many watts each plug is sucking out Cheesy would be appreciated and helpful!!

Please kindly note that power supply is a part of S17 Pro-53TH/s. However, the power cord is not included, please find two with at least 10A from your local market...

6.  Please kindly note that the required input voltage for S17 Pro-53TH/s is 220V.

curious if you can use 2 separate 15A breakers for this, some of my S9is i have a couple psu's connected to overclock them and i use a few breakers.

Support is telling me to upgrade from one version to the next starting with  2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2 , but the full ssh tarball is not on the feeds site. What i'm looking for is the braiins-os_am1-s9_ssh_VERSION (2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2) = <-- do you know where this file is anyone?

I see the older firmware files on the git but these arent helping unless i am suppose to put those into a directory with a copy of the python update scripts, which there is zero documentation. so frustrating.



Edit [Fix]

okay here we go

Updating from 09-22:

ssh into miner

Code:
$ miner factory_reset
$ wget https://feeds.braiins-os.org/am1-s9/firmware_2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2_arm_cortex-a9_neon.ipk
$ opkg install firmware_2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2_arm_cortex-a9_neon.ipk

- miner updated thank Jesus

2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2

Smiley thank you Adam @ support Cheesy

nothing but problems since trying to upgrade to the latest, now my test machine is on the factory reset braiin os, and you cannot do shit with it --you cannot upgrade, you cannot just revert back to the bitmain firmware. my mind is going to fucking blow up

'opkg update; opkg install firmware' did not work well

miner stuck 'cannot connect to cgminer' .. went back to previous firmware, now chain config is gone.

yeah the climate is good here now no overheating issues

One my best efficiency tests was this for an S9i;

15.25 TH/s 8.7 volt 3 chains, 725mhz 98 watts per TH

anything over 725mhz i started to get diminishing returns;

16.22 TH/s 8.8 volts, 775 mhz 102 watts per TH

chains on each miner are different (thanks for the junk Jihan), on another miner i noticed some chains arent pushing as much GH/s as others, but we can tweak the voltage separately. so 2 chains could have 8.8 and then the one lagging behind can be set to 8.9volt and there isn't much difference in watts but the GH/s on the chain starts to keep up with the others

i'll jack them up this weekend with some extra psu's and make 1 bleed lol

Um....maybe I ran something wrong, but, when you put those values into a calculator your profitability drops by 30%.  Huh

With a modified bmminer on the original firmware it was impossible to get over 15.5TH without significant heating issues, I live in Canada so summers are like Arizona desert hot and winters are like the Arctic. Now that its cooler using cgminer and being able to edit each chains voltage individiually i can get 16TH with under volting and wattmeter bounces around 1620-1650watts without the temps breaking over 105 degrees when the climate is now around 50f outside, So previously I tried over 15.5TH with the older bmminer it still overheats, shoots up to 120f then miners shut down. I dont care about the wattage I want to push the miners to the limit and this firmware makes it more efficient with the heat.

Edit: I could get 15.5TH with 8.8volt just had to have very sufficient cooling, but driving up to 16TH would cause it to overheat.

OK start over hehe.. but try with THIS https://feeds.braiins-os.org/braiins-os_am1-s9_2018-10-24-0-9e5687a2.tar.bz2

We are proud to introduce new #BraiinsOS Wolfram🔥. It contains overt #AsicBoost support for all S9's with voltage & frequency control per hashboard.

b: For the time being, we use Bitmain bitstream. However, we are still dedicated to #OpenSourceEverything & make the whole software stack open. 💪

new firmware out with asicboost!!



rockminer1: ^ if you are seeing that the firmware should be loaded, have you tried a web browser to http://192.168.0.33 ??

You are ssh'd to your miner with braiins OS .. you can see if the services are loaded by typing

Code:
ps | grep bin

just shows processes with /usr/bin you will see the httpd daemon/cgminer etc loaded

like this:

Code:
root@MINER:~# ps | grep bin

you can see above uhttpd/ntpd/cgminer etc are all loaded

Anyone able to solve the below error whilst trying to flash.

I'm assuming it thinks the machine is the newer S9's

Code:
Uploading firmware...
Unsupported miner version: Antminer S9

Its only compatible with Antminer S9i right now, someone said there was a file you can edit somewhere in the thread to get it to write to a regular S9 (i think ?)

why on earth would you believe anything bitmain says tbh lol jihan and his bastards were running asicboost forever then selling used miners, the blog post stated a bunch of garbage about them adhearing to patent rights (booowshit) lol, braains forced their hands before he released his own. take the garbage firmware off until slush says it’s compatible - again screw what bitmain says they only want you mining on their garbage pools
