In 2019, a mishap occurred with Bitmain’s Antminer S9. “Today, we found that the power sockets of two miners suddenly got stuck, causing power issues,” a person familiar with the incident explained, “The cause may be a circuit breaker failure due to the wire being connected to the computer.” It is reported that this incident was caused by oil leakage in Bitmain’s latest Bitcoin mining hardware, the M3 series devices.

Antminer Fault

Editor’s Note: This article is from BlockBeats (ID: 0xCOCC), author: 0xc7c9, authorized by Odaily Planet Daily for reproduction.

On June 29, news of a fault in the Antminer S19 series appeared on the Bitmain official website. According to the latest update, the issue is currently being addressed and may be caused by changes in certain parameters that prevent normal mining. In addition, according to a user’s feedback, some miners have incurred losses due to operational errors, and their Antminer S17 Pro and Xindong T3 products have been discontinued.

It is understood that the upgrade of the Antminer S19 series is based on the Ethereum Ethash algorithm, which introduces the “PoW” consensus mechanism. This upgrade will bring a different ratio of computing power and efficiency improvement. In addition, in May this year, TSMC’s Antminer M30S++ has ceased to support BTC, ETH, and XMR cryptocurrencies as mining equipment.

However, some netizens have expressed, “This is a typical situation of sudden shutdown of old machines.” But in reality, the problems go beyond the three points mentioned above. “First of all, from a performance perspective, mainstream mining machines on the market all have small faults,” some miners have reported, “From the perspective of performance, how do the Shennong M20+ or Canaan Avalon A10 series mining machines perform?” Many miners are confused by this and say, “For mine owners, this is not a common problem because many customers are very concerned about this model, especially recently, the purchase situation of the latest S19 and T2 series miners is quite special, so we need to reprice.” Another user affected by this issue said that his Antminer S19 Pro also encountered problems during maintenance. He explained, “I did not anticipate this phenomenon with the S19.1 miner, and it is obvious that other brands’ products are the same. Companies such as Bitmain, Asus, Samsung, etc. have been continuously developing new products, but these products have not kept pace with market demand changes, and can only delay delivery or postpone delivery time.” There have also been some previous media reports about issues with mining pools. Many miners in the Bitcoin network choose to use services provided by third-party service providers to obtain rewards in order to avoid excessive reliance on servers. “I am a senior programmer and blockchain practitioner, and I hope to contribute to the development of the digital economy.”
