The Antminer V9

This is a technical informational article on the Antminer V9. Most people scream 4TH/s is too low, however, if you are mining on a Multi algo pool that pays you in whatever coin, then the Amount of TH/s is not even a factor. For example we all know the the Antminer S3 only mines at approximately 450 GH/s however on the mining pool page it was producing 1.9 TH/s, this is because it is the amount of miners using that algorithm and not the TH/s a second. These pools are specifically created to get the most out of whatever miner, but an uneducated person who did not take the time to actually do the research by them selves by mining and not looking, would never know this.

Now let us look into the Antminer V9

TECHNICAL SPECS

Be sure to power on the miner only after all the 10 PCIe connectors are connected to a power supply.

Parameters of ANTMINER V9
No.	Parameters	Value

17	Size(Length*Width*Hight,without package)	301mm*123mm*155mm

If you notice anything, right off the bat, you will see that the power input is only 955Watts. This is slightly higher than the Antminer S3. This means if you read the previous article you would know that by keeping the miner cool, the fan motor will not work as hard, and will therefore use less power consumption.

The Antminer V9 used on a miner farm with 3 V9’s and 1 S9 will produce 34 TH/s should you want the slow way and mine a coin, however you will never make as good as the exchange rate mining. Sorry it is because multiple coins are mined and then traded for the coin you are wanting to be paid in. That is just basic math, you cannot escape math.

So for all those wanting to use less power consumption on a multi algo pool the Antminer V9 is a good deal, also you may want to look into the Antminer D3, now that most multi algo pools acdcept that high hash-rate to mine multiple X11 coins.

Mining Myth of power

Most people conduct You tube videos and other videos basing their whole theory on what miners are best based only on hash power and the amount of watts that the power supply is. The truth is that they never give you all the variables of how much is mined on a monthly basis, not daily. All coins are only the value of satoshi and not a dollar value. All is based on metrics.

    Second, just because the watt of a given power supply is, let us say, 2400 watts, does not mean that the power consumption will actually be that much. Only a person with no education of engineering and tech would actually base their decision on the amount of watt labeled on a power supply.

    The trick is to decrease the actual power that any given miner is consuming, simply by reducing how hard the fan motor is running. The truth is if you keep the miner cool the fan motor will not be working as hard, which will reduce the power consumption the miner uses. This will also increase the hash power at times.

    You must never listen to anyone that only talks about power output, or value, or that you do not make money. Research things yourself and understand the true technology yourself. Do not rely on any of the youtubbers talking, rely only on yourself. After all, that is the only way you will get to the true facts.

You have to understand, that you will never mine an exact amount all the time, all coins mined will add up in metrics, so you need to have all the variables including the monthly income, before one makes any such claims on if a miner is good or bad. If they are not cooled right, then the person doing the mining has no knowledge on anything technical. Please remember that

The Life of a Miner.

Some people mistakenly use the term that Crypto currency miners get into this because they are lazy. I for one can tell you that reason is a false statement. Let us take an example we can all relate to. When there is something wrong with your cable television, You immediately call the cable company to complain. The cable company then transfers you over to tech support, who tries to handle your problem by going through a script of the most common trouble shooting techniques. If they cannot solve your problem the customer support person has to schedule a time where a physical technician comes out to look at the problem and hopefully fixes it.

This does not happen in the world of Crypto miners. For one thing, there is no company to call, Oh you could call the mining equipment manufacturing company, but they will tell you handle it. For one thing, you are tech support, you are the technician, you are the one that must figure out what is wrong and fix it. So let us look at some of the skills you must have to be a successful crypto currency miner.

COMPUTER BUILDING/REPAIR SKILLS

You must be able to understand how a computer works, especially if you are running GPU mining systems. You must be able to deduce why a graphics card (GPU) is not running right. You must also be able to program simple BAT files.

 

ASIC/ANTMINER REPAIR SKILLS

You must have a good working knowledge of ASIC or Antminer repair and maintenance skills. You must understand how a miner works, how it runs, and what the common parts are in order to properly maintain and keep your ASIC/ or Antminer working.

Yes it is true, us miners are not in the slave mentality anymore, but that offers two real life lessons. 1. We must be self responsible. We as miners realize we are solely responsible for our pay. There is no crooked Corporation or boss that oversees our paycheck. We must take self responsibility and do what is needed. After all if we are not making the money that we need, then we must take steps to correct it and gain what we need. 2. We must be in total control of our coins we mine. Mining to an exchange is never a good idea. Sure it may seem simple especially with all the multi algo mining pools that actually send you your coins once the minimum you specified is met. But you need to have your own wallet for each coin you mine in order to be in complete control of your money.

There is much more, but this is the basics. Do not listen to people on social media sites using their ego to promote certain coins. You must study the block difficulty, the algorithm, the time it takes to find a block, and how often a block is found and paid to miners. You must also decide if the coin will assist in your pay or not.

I hope this gives you some insight on us miners. After all If it were not for us miners, there would be no Crypto coins. Everything in this crypto currency realm is retaliative and we all need each other.

Crypto Currency Mining 101

          This blog post is to rebuttal a troll. Yes I already know most trolls are stupid and paid for to discredit anyone, or anything that works for the better of humanity, but Tilp66 or whatever im about to tell you drink more fluoride and become more idiotic as I show you the light.


Let us go to the main passage I always state, “ The People have control over their own money.” Now with that control comes what?...... Responsibility. Self Responsibility is the answer. Now we covered the three jobs or functions mining does to earn coins

1. Production of hashpower by solving math
2. . Secureing the network providing stable security for the peer to peer network
3. and finally accounting by maintaining the open source ledger the Blockchain.


We will be dealing with just the one in this article #1 Production of Hash Power.

This currency gives us the chance to get back to our roots. We were a country and a world backed by production. Lately with the Federal Reserve, bankers, elites we have become a consumers nation. We have not really produced anything until now.

Let us take for an example you have gone to a pawn shop and was lucky enough to find an Alien ware desktop computer quad 7 processor with a radion 720 graphics card added. Here in Las Vegas that would not be uncommon because some people are addicted to gambling and pawn things they have no idea what they had. OK, for the sake of this example you get the computer home set it up, install the mining software and choose the pool and coin you are going to mine with your GPU, graphics card. You do this on Saturday morning, and start the miner and go about your business.

The next week comes around and for the entire 7 days you notice that you made a grand total of $20.00 for the week including the work on the faucets for the assist. This does not mean that Bitcoin does not work. This is production boys and girls. You will be paid the right price for the amount of production of Hash Power you are producing into the network.

Now we know it is our responsibility so we need to first figure out how much a week we need to have to live on. I, just like those that are smart in this game live in places where the electricity and all utilities are included. My rent is $336. every two weeks or $670 a month. This means I need at least $400 a week only for basic needs. Food shelter and clothing. I have other income to buy luxuries, and have fun, but we are not covering that now.

So back to the weekly of $20.00. I know another computer will not produce any more hash power, in fact, it may only double it to $40.00 if I am lucky. So I look for an ANTMINER 460-600GH/s far better than 365 KH/s Now we get an antminer S3 they are not that expensive anyone selling them over $40.00 now is a criminal because of all the super new ones out, that make you convert your plugs to 220. This is why I like the S3.


Ok so if you remember when Bitcoin was getting very popular I said it was like a job if you plan on not receiving a paycheck for the first month you will be ok. Think about it this way. You go looking for a job. You apply online, then 1 week later you get called for an interview. You get an offer, but they are now doing the criminal background check. So far two weeks have passed and no pay yet. The back ground check comes back a week later they schedule for a drug test. 48 hours later you pass the drug test and they get you to start. Your first paycheck will be in two weeks. THAT IS FIVE WEEKS WITH NO PAY. It is the same darn thing.

Now back to the mining. You get the first antminer home set up to sell hash power that pays you in bitcoin weekly. Remember this is all High figuring, but it is an easy example to get you to understand and the math is on tens so it becomes easy to add up. The first week with the GPU, the Antminer, and the faucets as the assist nets you $150 for the week. Now you see the difference but that is still not enough calculate what the Antminer did by itself in production and then you can get an idea of how many more you need to run that if you want to take a trip and not do the fauce6s for a few days it will not matter because the Antminers have the ratio.

Let us just say for easy understanding that you have come to a logical, and mathematical decision based on addition that you only need 3 more Antminers to make what you need. Get them set them up configure them and off you go.

The true moral of this is not the mining, it is the fact that you are in control of your own pay, you alone are responsible. Do you get it now? If you are not making what you need IT IS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING MATH.
