18/11 recommended UPDATE

Bitmain released a lot of D3 because of this dramatically increased the complexity of the dash. And as a result of very decreased profit from D3. So it will be a great demand to change the firmware for the D3 to get the other algorithms. If you manage to modify D3 to other algorithms - it will be good business.
I am willing to financially support such work. I think that a lot of D3 owners will join the buyers of such products.

Someone please test the new firmware to see how it goes.

18/11 recommended UPDATE

https://mega.nz/#!Dp5HXBDI!KW1bMbljdTpuq_c4mOxAO6Sft7_-TMEXKn9bxk43Smw

Changes 18/11:
- fixes the pool priority, it will now mine on your own backup pools when your first pool goes down.
- Dev fee lowered to 1,5% (it was actually 1,66%)

Changes 17/11:
- fixes the high fan speed when switching to the dev pool and back to your main pool
- fixes the close PIC and need reboot!!! error on the original bitmain firmware
- Made the ASIC default voltage less confusing as it is now comparable to the default bitmain voltage.
- Lowered the AUTO profile fan RPM's a little bit.


know issues:

when using the AUTO fan profile, the fan starts at a too high RPM after powering up.


Upcoming:
For the short term these are on the todo list for the upcoming versions:
- frequency and voltage per mining board
- faster work providing to hashing boards (should improve a little)
- auto restart option on low hashrate / xxxxx
- load balancing between pools support
- auto tune frequency / voltage
- profile support (low noise, normal, high performance mode)
- webinterface improvements

I successfully modded the firmware...
I think you do not optimized compilation. Original file size is 761k and your is 2.8mb. hm...

Also vt200 and vt220 (\etc\terminfo\v\) is swapped (original and custom). Is it right?

Thank you for the information. Not top priority right now, but I will improve the compilation optimization later.

I would be down for a one time donation or a donation for each major version update for this.  The one thing I don't like too much is how slow it is to recover after switching pools.. plus you lose the work your machine was calculating when the timer dictates the jump to the dev pool.  I noticed after switching from the dev pool it took some considerable time to get back to serious hashing on my pool and when it did that every hour I had to roll back to the stock firmware because it was starting to have negative implications on my daily avg.  Enough it negated the power savings pretty quick. 

Would you be open to taking set fees instead?

Will not use this firmware until i have over control of dev fees or at least offer one time payment for the firmware or both or i wait for the "impossible" algo to be solved.

Actually I don't have knowledge of programming but if I would done that I was lock each firmware to the serial numbers.
And I would  sell it for each unit.So if you have 5 unit you need to buy 5 licence .
No ones firmware could work for other units.
As a miner I also prefer to pay one time payment, incase of  profit share.
I know mining world   not working  like this but I am only share my thought.
anyway,  
that is not a big issue , both methods can be use.
The big thing is D3 need to be profitable at once.
 no profit means , there will be  no miners , no one  pays  dev fee  Smiley

I remember now from time I had KNC Titan scrypt miner , there was user GenTarkin who created modified software with auto tune etc and this works like that only one copy activated for one miner.  He still have this on his shop, can give some idea for future or maybe even if you contact him things can go easier..  http://gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com/

This was a good information. Thank you.
He sells the each firmware copy 75$ like I said. 
I gave him a  brief what we need
maybe it helps

Great, lets see if we harvest from this contact somehow..

The best result that I get from new D3 modded firmware is 16.8 GH/s at 840W of power

i tried 462 & lowest , got 16.5~GH/s to
fans 19% with max temp chip 65° ( get cold outside intraction)
watts 740  ~ (220v)
cheers

 I think what you telling us isnt correct and not possible until you have intake air -20celsius
 
I check this and 840watts yes of course but not 740. this is @400
also fixed 19%fan is too slow. my miner with ambient temp right now 8 degree Celsius shut down with chip temps @99! just after 2 minutes from start
take multimeter please and check whats your wall socket voltage is. No way you have 220v (until you have voltage optimiser  installed in your property) but more which means more watts  Wink
show us screenshot of this setting running 10 minutes Smiley

@blissz thanks for the next update (17/11) and am trying it now on my D3 which has 2 boards working (1 board could not be detected but this happenned few days ago before the flashing of your firmware)

For some reason my 3rd board suddenly cannot be detected therefore i'm only hasing 12GHs instead of 18 GHs.





Any idea which chip causes the board to be unable to be detected? No burnt marks anywhere as the photo above.


Regarding the firmware I will measure the watts saving when I get to the rig later.

Cheers.

P.S. I don't mind about the DevFee. The developers need to eat as well.

yep i undertood your way and i totaly agree with you, because you are thinking dev deserve profit.
But if i'm right, for checking miner and validate firmware you need rent server run everytime , meaning pay for it everytime to

Hey Blissz
I don't understand why do you focused to the dev fee detail so much as of at the beginning .
it seems also not working right .
you can easily sell it to everyone when it is completed including big things.
most of the followers of this topic expect that if anything can be done regarding mining algo's.
I  think that No one will share their profit because of just  fan mode.
 but everyone can pay the price if the algo revision fulfilled.

that's a good point , but as i told before , better solution mean logicaly a valid activation number for everyone(per serial)  and host to check it

the problem is not really if there is share or not , and there will ... for sure , as unfaire little genious search for delete dev fee

like every OS for mining , you pay for one miner , one computer or one asic machine ... so you need to affiliate 1 valid system per machine

cause it's to easy, as everytime for big owner , you pay once for lot of machines ? not fair,  i will have only 2 x D3 , and i agree to pay for the job blissz did , and better I prefer meaning myself to pay for the time he took.
thats why i was laughing about 1.6666% , but really i dont care  (edit : @crackfoo)

for evident goodies like the 2 frist version, fee seem nice , if multi algo is possible & working , for sure the question will be serious , but if profit grows , fee will to ...

ps:hope donation are sending all days

Can only give a short answer now, but it starts mining (almost) 60 seconds for me. After that one hour on your pools and then again 60 seconds for me etc....
I will have a look at the priorities because I guess you're right that it will try to switch to the dev pool when your own pool goes down. This is definitely not what I intended.
For your information: the amount of shares is not representative as it depends on the share difficulty.
60 seconde of 1 hour is 1.666666667% ahahha  Roll Eyes

no ones forcing you to save 20+% in power.

Another bugfix needed then haha.  Wink
 I will let it run shorter (54 seconds) and fix the priorities.
