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

@nid125 work depend of asset ... no ? i reboot lot of time for testing settings , so i give him lot of fee , has cgminer start with fee 1st..
look very high ... i do not have this ratio

I wish to share my testing results and have a question about your fee @blissz
I have first batch miners from September 17.5GH/s
My wall voltage during tests ~242volts

Stock firmware 400M is giving 14.5GH/s - 928W with fan in auto @2850rpm - which is ~64W/GH
Mod firm on 400M and lowest V 14.4 GH/s - 730W with fan in auto @2550rpm - which is ~50W/GH
so here simply is ~ 21% lower power consumption with only less then 1% lower hash
Im quite happy with this setting so i left it for 18hours to run and screenshot is below.

Also to show some other different reading with modified firmware with lowest V for example:
 (400M is a base)-
underclock - 300M -10.3GH/s -550Watt  - fan in auto 2100rpm
overclock -   475M -17.0GH/s -864W   - fan in auto 2640rpm  and few HW appear

Now to the question...
@blissz please explain how your fee works because you said is set (somehow) to 1.5% I guess probably of mining time as long miner is online ? Just guessing now, so for simply example if miner is online 100 minutes 90 seconds is do work for you?
Im curious and probable im wrong but for my 18 hours mining my pool getworks 1745 and devFee 998 in total 2746. So now those fee numbers are like over 36% of all no 1.5% Please correct if this is wrong logic...just to finish... that means from 18hours of mining this hardware works 6.5hours for you, for the fee?

Please dont get me wrong, im happy donate for your amazing work and I agree to your terms of use this beta mod but just curious... Huh

And last in connection to previous as someone mentioned this already...
DevFeeMiner pool have priority 1 so it is simply next pool after my top one to use if my first goes offline, so miner will just switch from pool 0 to pool1  and keep mining as long as my first pool is dead.. that means if im not monitoring it in worst scenario you will get my 100% of mining time?

I know it was quick solution but if im right this should be changed.. otherwise our electric saving is completely worthless
Im of course more then happy to test another version of your soft and keep mine your fee Wink
Oh I see you already upload new version so Im taking it now  Wink

i dream about everyone lower hashrate and watts , because the fact is diffuclty will go low and profit go up , like balance between what you dont give to electricity provider and get more cryptos
the profit will rise for sure if everybody  do that best Mhs/watts
thanks for the new version , i had it off last night cause of fans when pool switch Cheesy

Yeah it's a step in the right direction  Cool This version is nice and quiet so enjoy  Grin

17/11 UPDATE

Here is a small bugfix update on the first beta:

Changes:
- 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.

I do think this version is stable enough to act as a first version.

As the most anoying bugs are out, I am now going to focus on new features.

Download:


https://mega.nz/#!O8R2jI5R!Ft498V46_hZ2nh2UT69VZKIVNwYOa8eqJZjxTMKNIfE


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 am a long time lurker, and finally created an account here specifically to say 'thank you' for the time and effort you are putting into these firmware modifications.

You are awesome.

1.After changing the low speed fan, the speed can not be recognized
2.The web page  is no option to change the voltage
3.The noise will get bigger in a moment
4.I flashed two D3 is all that question

for some reason you are still on the default bitmain firmware. Please download again and flash this file:

oh crap my antminer goes to ultra high fan speed every hour just after ending dev fee ,  pls someone how to avoid this? , and i noticed that the prority is 1 on devfee so if the pool goes down i loose mining? , have someone the original firmware??

Can the fan don't go to high speed when switching mining & dev fee? its very annoying..lol..

Don't worry, if the dev pool goes down it will go to the second one. If that goes down it will switch back to your pools. The fan bug is indeed really annoying and I will fix that in the next version soon

Actually I dont (want) to believe them also.

The interesting one is ; Baikal uses this argument during the pre sale advertisements.
X10 Giant  already has 5 algo and they promise that two  more
but the bitshit company does not make any effort, even though they owe it.
even iphone could  hacked many times. 
Hope this initiative will be succeded.

Is Bitmain looking at releasing a firmware for the Antminer D3 to enable alternative algorithm mining?

I would really recommend developing firmware to enable mining of other algorithms as Bitmain's reputation is at stake.

The D3 is currently not profitable at all and it is still a new miner.

And the response -

We brought the D3 to production in response to customer demand for Dash coin miners. Our D3 miner is designed for maximum efficiency to mine Dash coin with the X11 algorithm. This is programmed into the hardware and cannot be changed.

Profitability of mining depends largely on the difficulty of the Blockchain and the exchange rate of the coin, which are outside our control.

Mining altcoins is speculative and carries a number of risks as well as potential rewards. We encourage our customers to research these as with any investment.

Best regards,
Barbara
Bitmain



The question is;
Are they right or wrong about the algo addition capability
If it is  the ultimate truth , this is very bad news.


After quit our hope the thing is, maybe we can´t mine another algos according to that respond but what about find the code to do the miner works with just one of the 11 algos that be part of x11..... we are continue in that journey to find an answer



What do you want to hear from bitmain?
Okay, let's unlock the D3?

Of course they will say that it is impossible.

the changes that our friend made with the FW, if they asked they would say that it was impossible.

I agree, I knew what response they would give, but I had to try.

I get it
I also thought: "default answer"

you can find original firmware here https://shop.bitmain.com/support.htm?pid=00720170915192851224mJ36J1ap066E

I also think to rollback, i'm not sat about the dev fee, honnestly I would prefer to pay few bucks to have the firmware without this
