I am running a Antminer L3+ on litecoinpool.org and currently running /#xnsub is it better to use it or should I remove it thanks ?
Also I only get HW errors on hash board 4 I have adjustable DC supply tried 12.0vdc to 13.0vdc no difference so I set it back to 12.3vdc anybody else have this HW error issue only on one board ? I am thinking its bitmains no good firmware again!!!!!
any help would be app.

Right, but
which is clearly visible in the screenshot. Anyone actually paying attention to the values they're putting into the calculator should notice the block payout set it to accurate.
- though I wonder if bitcoinwisdom is going to update the default settings anytime soon; perhaps they should be reminded?
blocks of 12.95 since kano.is is paying about that each block

I will email them
Does Bitcoinwisdom still use the old block reward for litecoin? I remember up until a couple months ago, they were still set at the old higher litecoin block reward size. They've never bothered to update the litecoin block reward.
I'm just pointing this out because they haven't bothered to update the bitcoin block reward size from 25 to 12.5.
Are they just lazy, don't care, or stupid?
Just use it then divide your results in half. or by two for the critics.
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
Can anybody explain the fact that Bitmain still holds on to the same price as before the halving?
GREED GREED AND MORE GREED. They know they can get away with it because they have no competition as of this post.

20 amp NEMA 5 sockets are NOT standard in U.S. homes and most businesses, though they're more frequently found in shop/industrial type business locations.
You will find exceptions SOMETIMES in newer homes or homes that have upgraded wiring, used mostly for medium-sized window A/C units and washers, or sometimes in garages/shop areas.
You'll also find occasional NEMA 6 220v series sockets, usually intended for use with electric driers, electric hot water heaters, or large (most 25,000 BTU and up) window A/C units.
The STANDARD is a NEMA 5-15 dual socket for almost ALL outlets in the large marjority of US homes.
Most of the power connectors I've seen in the pair of hospitals I've been in this year were GFI NEMA 5-20.
This is not a "hospital grade" connector as such, GFI is specified for any location that wetness or other higher risk of shock hazards can be found, though that "higher risk" issue is why pretty much all line-powered medical equipment specifies connection to a GCI-equipped circuit and therefore that type of outlet is the norm in most areas of a hospital.

Must you really.......
Hospital-Grade Requirements in North America
North American NEMA 5-15 gray, black, and clear plugs.
Hospital-Grade Standards Hospital-grade plugs, sockets, and cable mount connectors are subject to special requirements contained in the following standards: Medical equipment standardsUL 60601-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 no. 21; Power supply cord standards UL 817 and CAN/CSA C22.2 no. 21; and Attachment plug and receptacle standardsUL 498 and CAN/CSA C22.2 no. 42. The hospital-grade plug diameter conforms to NEMA WD-6 and UL 817 standards: (1) the blades must be solid instead of folded brass, (2) the blades are usually nickel-plated, (3) the plug includes an internal cable retention device or strain relief to prevent any stress to the plugs internal connections and (4) NEMA plug and receptacle are marked Hospital-grade and with a green dot
Which mine are hospital grade "Marked" with the green dot right out of the package. anything else you want to say.
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
Do the math, look at the specs... an 11.85Th Batch 6 unit draws 1172W plus 12%, or 1313 watts. Push that to 12.93Th and the spec is 1275W plus 7% or 1364 watts, over the 1320 safe limit.
While it is certainly possible that Bitmain produce the B6 "lower power/hash" S9 to accommodate USA 120V users, my bet its that they have much better yields, and much better working hardware at the lower hashrate. I think the lower power draw is just a side benefit (and not the actual reason). It's quite likely that a Batch6 S9 is a set of blades that don't really make the grade as a Batch7 at 12.93TH. You could look at a Batch6 as a "low grade" Batch7, with a price break to match.
Kinda like the way Intel "speed grades" their various processors.
Actually, I tend to agree with you. Suspect the math is just a fluke.
Regarding using "Hospital grade" connectors - your key was in using 10 gauge wire - the standard for 30 amp circuits. Of course if you use 30 amp wiring with 30 amp connectors and 30 amp breakers you can pull more current than if any of those are 20 amp components...
I never said they were 30 amp connectors they are 20 amps I should now I put them on and the 10 gauge wire I always like to be on the safe side.
standard sockets that electricians put in are 20 amp sockets or 15 amp depending on the service. these sockets are not made to run 20 amps continually for 24/7 they will burn. Hospital,industrial or commercial grade are they are put through rigorous testing surge current temp the whole nine yards they are built to take it.
Same thing goes for the plugs to. Very expensive though wish I new a link I can get them for cheap.
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
And lets not forget that code (at least in commercial situations) is that breakers should not be loaded to more than 80% of their capacity on a continuous basis. So a 20 amp, 110V circuit (typically using 12 gauge wire) should not have more than 1760 watts of continuous load. Basically one S4/s7/s9 per 20 amp circuit. That limit is 1320 watts if your running with a 15 amp breaker (and typically 14 gauge wire). E.g. Your really pushing your circuits if your running an S9 at over 11.83THs. Maybe that is why they came out with that box? So it would, barely, fit on a typical US home circuit?
Here is what is at my wall........
https://s32.postimg.org/wtna3hz2t/PIC1.png
Can be run over 1760 you just better make sure you have hospital grade sockets and plugs on your extension cords. also make sure it is 10 gauge or thicker and everything will work fine as you can see been running it for over a week no burnt plugs or anything. I was getting that problem until I upgraded as mentioned above.
I have one S9 running and one S7-"ONE BOARD ONLY". No fires running for a week works well as long as you upgrade your ac plugs and sockets to hospital grade. standard sockets and plugs will burn up !

Let it dry for a day or two.
Is it hashing and would the soap and detergents corrode the board just dont keep doing it. POOF!!!!
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
Buyer beware, I would stay away from Bitmain's gear unless you want it to look like this:

Thats why you got a burnt up miner. if there is not enough ac power at the input of the PSU you will not get enough DC output power to the miners and when this happens electrons flow through the wire really fast bouncing off atoms causing friction making the wire get hotter and hotter until meltdown like that miner you have.

inadequate AC WALL power being sent to the power supply that is why this happens. or loose connectors but if everything it tight then its WALL!

Very Nice!
36 blocks?
SHA256 multi-algo pool?
You need to compare CKPool to Nicehash. You will see that Nicehash is not so Nice on the wallet. Check out some stats at: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/?view=flipcard
Multi-algo even though I can only mine SHA-256 Coins nicehash is mining alt coins behind my back "FIGURE OF SPEECH" and putting the profit in there pocket.

Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
I have an interesting problem here with a Batch 3 S9:
1. I have set it for a static IP of 192.168.1.60
2. I have set up 3 mining pools
3. It operates as expected for a few hours, maybe up to a day.
Then, seemingly on its own, it changes its static IP address to something different (like 192.168.1.203) and changes just the first mining pool to f2pool or peercoin pool (not my pools or credentials). Pools 2 and 3 remain untouched. I change the settings back to 192.168.1.60, and reset the first pool, but several hours later its back to some random IP address and the first pool has been changed again to something.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? I've had this happen 3 or 4 times now over the past few days. I keep changing the IP and pool information back, but in less then a day that miner is back on some random IP address and mining at some random pool. I've re flashed the firmware but that didn't help. I've reset the S9 to its factory settings by keeping the RESET button pressed for several seconds, then re-configuring, but that didn't seem to help either.
I don't know what could be causing this, or how to stop these changes from happening. I have several other S9 units on the same network and none of them exhibit this behavior.
Sure your miner is not being hijacked by a virus or hacker. when you flashed the firmware did you check it for a virus. Virus.malware,spyware can attach itself onto any program including firmware also. had it happen with a smart phone when I flashed a custom ROM KERNEL onto it. I was sending emails and calling everyone on my contact list LOL. alot of angry people calling me back thinking I was pranking them.1. I have set it for a static IP of 192.168.1.60

Just something to think about food for thought.
Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order
ah Bitmain finally put up the new firmware so the S9 will work with NICEHASH. Except when you try to use p=? and the password line!!! at least you can hash now.
Which of them do you mean ?
https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720160628032419599ebY2YSlj06DE
All of them you just have to match the ? MHZ located on your S9 hash board and download the one that matches your miner. 500 , 600 , 650 MHZ depending which one you have.
Yes, it works now in Nicehash.
File System Version - Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016
3xS9 (650M)=45.51 TH/s
But today I prefer Antpool with first S9 software - Fri Jun 24 16:25:13 CST 2016
why ?

Anybody know how to get the antminer S9 to hash on NICEHASH it just does not hash all other sites are OK. please help A.S.A.P ?
ahahah funny. CAP A.S.A.P yes boys. 2 post and you request help asap. Learn to be patient. coming from a guy who has Legendary JA**AS* status how intelligent.
