It is mean, that I can not change the coin what I want mining? Could I mining ONX or other X11 coin if I want, or just Dash?

Thanks for the info. But I don't see from their answer that "they are working on it" ! They just say that you can use D3 to mine any X11 coin (which we already know!), but they don't guarantee the efficiency or performance as the D3 was designed to work only with DASH, but we know that it can work with any other X11 coin, like ONX, DPC, MUE etc.

I have got a new non standard answer from Bitmain.



They just not garantee the performace, so they work on it.

if someone was interested, further down  is a table with the  algo X11, X13 ...

and from here you can download the source codes of the algorithms:

http://cryptography.gmu.edu/athena/index.php?id=source_codes

Here in the image is an FPGA model that if properly programmed can work in X11 Alogo.
So it is concluded that the cores,  pass the data between them on a parallel connection ...
With proper instructions, the calculation can be stopped by a certain algo / core, without making all the turn from all core.

Similarly, ASICs should also work ... with the difference that in this case we have a PIC in all 3 cards, that will give the commands, and get the results from ASIC Cores.
So someone should ask the BitMain for the data contained in the PIC, to be able to properly reprogram the PIC with the necessary instructions and then rewrite part of the firmware containing SO with -web management board- so in this mode we can choose between the desired algos.

I do not understand the reason why the so-called, dev or mod started with the last thing to do ... but for the first thing he did was to enter a fee ...
I think this "dev" is interested in its profits rather than the change of D3 ... for which more than that fee, for the first thing had to talk to Bitmain staff for some technical information, and have the PIC data. .. then experimenting that everything worked well and then introducing the fees on its firmware ...

The way to get compensation is not as short as the "dev" seems ...

If someone hurt fans ... they can put them in a garage or in a datacenter.
To gain something , now need to have free light, not reducing the miner's hash ...

It's as if had dimmed a lamp ... when it shuts off or low light does not consume either ...

Obviously if you reduce the frequency it reduces the power absorbed but also reduces the Hash ...
If you want to reduce the consumed current, unplug it ... do it yourself without paying taxes ...

This is the million DASH question 

Can we change the algo from firmware mods / updates? What about from X11 to another algo, is it possible somehow?

@taserz

Maybe the way dndssc said it confused you, what he meant is that the X11 algorithm is made of 11 different algos chained together (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo.), so all these algorithms are in fact present in the original Antminer D3 - X11 software.
The idea is to try and make the D3 use any of the X11 algos individually, like only using "Groestl" for example. Whether this is possible, depends on the way the software and the ASICS are built.

Look if Baikal can do it I'm pretty sure the D3's can do it.... Watching this thread very closely.

It is an x11 miner no shit it is included it is the only algorithm it can mine... because it is the only hashes it is able to solve.

x11 algo include.... Eleven algos! With a custom firmware might be possible mining of one of these algo that are more profitable than x11

unpack firmware from Antminer-D3-201709131713-0M.tar -> initramfs.bin.SD -> Angstrom-antminer_m-eglibc-ipk-v2013.06-beaglebone.rootfs.cpio -> to any folder (WinRAR FarManager help you. press ctrl+PageDown on files for enter it as archive, then F5 for copy to any disk/folder you need.)
and see \www\pages\ for all web pages of firmware.

Where is default webpage in source codes ? which source codes should i look ? is it located in "cgminer-dash-master" source codes ?
As i understand  antminer's main board is a beagleboard black and , so as i understand cgminer should be just an application on it.
And firmware source belongs to the just cgminer , is this correct ?
To add new menu web page we need to modify beaglebone black firmware to modify web pages which belongs to gui ?

How is this mod working out for you guys?

It is an ASIC

Application SPECIFIC Integrated Circut... It can't do more than one algo. Just look at the chips.

This is NOT a FPGA Field Programmable Gate Array. Those can be reprogrammed for multiple algorithms.

From what it looks like this firmware does nothing new except a 1.5% fee.

All set, nothing unpacked, seems a random missing byte from the download or something. After downloading again it took the new firmware you made.

Listen I know it's all anyone's been asking (mostly) but it's not bullshit. If you get the 11 algo's split out of this thing you will be a mining hero. Right now the dev fee is a bit overkill even with the current mods, with the 11 algo separated for additional mining.... This would be the best thing to ever happen to this terrible investment.  (not including Dash and BTC both going up 9000%).

I'll be rooting for you on this.

I'm paying you fees now on 13 machines...2 didnt like the upgrade even after 15 restarts still missing boards according to the screen.

Can you show how?
I am a bit confused... -o stratum+tcp://.mine.zpool.ca:#xnsub -u [-p c=,]

Lets say I want to get paid in BTC

Great!!
I installed first version and trying to find lovely setting for my D3s..........
and looking forward to get next version ASAP!!

I did the same and no luck this was the answer
My mail:
Good morning ... I ordered 3 D3 and I will receive it late in november... I have a question Do you planning to launch a newer version of the antminer d3 in the next months? If the answer is yes Is there a possibility to cancel the purchase that I did for the 3 D3 and use that amount of uds ($4695) to buy the possible amount of new version equipments depending of which will be the price of the new version? Thanks
