So my 4 Antminer S9 arrived today. Very exciting. I unpacked them and tried mining for the first time ever, and it worked. I am amazed!
First miner seems to have one dead hashboard. It mined on 2 boards for like a minute, then died. Fans still ran but i could not find it,
Second one was a sucsess! Ran smooth after about 10 min and mined for about 1 hour.
Tomorrow i will try and Get braiiins OS on them, so i can control input/output.
And check to see if the other 2 work.
Stay stacking!
Very cool! That said, these machines are quite inefficient at around 3 kW for 9 TH/s.
What made you choose these?
The 3kW will mean running 3 machines downclocked to 1000W and delivering 1Thz/100W, so im hoping ill Get 30thz.
This is a test of sorts. The machines Are cheap and easy to get, thats why i choose them.
I wanted to make sure i was able to figure out everything before i invested alot of money.
As they will just replace existing energy consuption, the efficiency is of lesser significance.
Have fun king 👑
