So is this meant that can we hope for new algo's?
Topic: Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (10/12 v1.12 update) - page 124. (Read 125911 times)
I have some great news guys! 
I successfully modified the following:
- unlocked ASIC voltage from software. You can now increase or decrease the ASIC voltage from software
This can save a lot of power / heat and noise. i.e. I run my D3 at 15Gh/s at below 700 watts instead of 19Gh/s @ 1200watts. On the other hand you can also decide to overclock your unit if your PSU can handle it with this unlocked vcore.
- removed fast FAN startup. (very annoying for users that run this miner at home)
- unlocked full fan control. No more minimum fan checks. It removed the low fan warnings as well.
I need to mod the webinterface as well and do some testing so it will take roughly one more week before I will release the first firmware version I guess
This first version is mainly aimed at home users to get a better power usage / hashrate balance and run it as silent as possible
before you ask: Adding new algorithms will be on the list for future versions
other feature requests are welcome of course

This is fantastic. Does this mean now that you don’t need to do the soldering etc...?
exactly: it will be enabled by flashing the firmware and I will add the options to the existing web interface
perfect friend, ;-) congratulation ... if you need a beta tester i'm here

honestly, if someone can write a customized miner for the d3 to mine different algo's, i'm sure the community would have no issues paying a mining fee.
good luck on the research guys.

why their is this implementation ? is it locked ?
You need to remove the R80 resistor first and put the potentiometer wired to the 2 "solder islands" of where the R80 was fixed.
ok understood , i thought may be blue one was connected on right side ...
will receive my D3 soon , i sent you a PM for pics of l3+ just to know where to send it , but mine as a control board problem i think , will had an other one soon .. (bored)
/!\ i cant wait for how to set default fan speed lower -_- ...
bitmain dont care about that , they wont waste time to have algos

@blissz
can you have a better indication (drawing or other pics) for where to fix 25k ohm potentiometer and what you mean for replace R80 ?

I am waiting, that I check it, but not received yet the november batch. I hope, that will be a new firmware, which can use more algo. Because this is a s##t now.

I managed to implement the hardware undervolting Mod and I must say it works like magic. Currently doing 6.9V @ 437MHZ giving me about 15.3GH with no HW errors 
I think if D3 is unlocked to other algos, this would be like having an early xmas coz bitmain fooled so many pple by over selling these machines and they are doing the same thing now to L3+
So if for example i can use my D3 on Scrypt. It would mean a vast number of pple will not order from bitmain but simply change algo of the D3 they already own which would put bitmain in check atleast for a short while.
I wouldnt mind paying for these software mods just to stick it up to bitmain

Good to hear the hardware mod works for you as well!

with profits down, I'd mod LOL
I guess that;s quite a challenge. The interface to the d3 board is a serial connection. Not sure about the baikal. If we could get the source for the d3 cgminer that would really open up possibilies... So if one with access to this reads this....
cgminer D3 source at here: https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer-dash
This is good stuff. Thanks for this. I checked the source and it's legit. I took a quick look at the code and I do see lots of possibilities:
1) adjust ASIC voltage from software 99% YES
2) fix the fan startup speed / fan speed limits YES
3) change the algorithm MAYBE YES. I found something really interesting in the initialization of the ASICS. It seems like there is something build in to the asics to support multiple algorithms, which can be unlocked by the firmware.
As I only own one D3 miner and need to spend lot's of time on implementing it I consider a few things:
- don't bother modding the d3 even further.
- supply a miner binary with the mods and add a fee percentage
- make the mods, show it in a video / or whatever and ask for a donation before releasing it to the public.

Hi, i'm also an owner of some Antminer D3 devices.
My skills are software engineering, but my world is microsoft based and not linux. But i have installed cygwin and unpacked the new firmware (initramfs.bin.SD) to a folder to inspect all files. My idea is to get sgminer (from new Baikal X10) up and running. That would be very cool, but i don't know where to start.
What i can see is, that Antminer runs cgminer 4.9.0 and Baikal runs sgminer...
Is this possible? Anybody else an idea?
Here is the unpacked Folder from last firmware update.

did someone as the magic skill to shutdown the 100% default fan on every reboot or setting change ?
this make me crazy
this make me crazy
This is annoying me as well. There is check in cgminer for > 5000rpm when starting up. I might build a simple 555 circuit to fake the RPM, because this fan startup noise is really annoying
