I'm running my two D3's on 400 Mhz, Voltage 2 and 20% Fanspeed.
So i have nearly 15 GH/s per miner and this is also shown in the antpool dashboard 30 GH/s +/- 3 GH/s so i have no Problems.
I also tried to run them on zpool over night and there i get max 20 GH/s, so i went back to antpool where i can use the full hashrate.

Go on with the good work blissz, love to see how this firmware and my D3's are getting better and better  Wink

Take a look at this pool too.. I like the nice overview.

I have the same setup as you (400mhz at voltage 1 though) and get 1-1 on hashrate on the pool as in the mining software.. So it should be alright also. Smiley

I'm also VERY happy with this firmware.. Smiley 650W at the wall and fans running at below 2000RPM all the time Smiley

reboot on high number asic failures does it reboot when u get high number of hw errors?

if it should do it then my miners doesnt do it, i noticed that it was rebooting yesterday but now it doesnt

I really like what you have done modifiying the firmware but i have one suggestions, which i am pretty sure will ease the issue some ppl have when configuring theire miners regarding the dev fee.
I am all for it and i am pretty sure that others dont mind either that you get a fair share for your work.

I have 5 D3's myself and configuring those machines aint that easy, because each of them has different settings to be applied that the HW errors disappear.
The issue i have is, that after each reboot / configuration change (voltage, adresses, ....) you start mining on your dev pools (after some seconds), this makes it intense to check if my OWN settings are valid.

My suggestion is, please start mining your 1.5% fair share not at each and every reboot / configuration change, but once the miner has run for its 2 hours. So i am only asking you to change the first time you mine for yourself, after 2h you start with your rotation.

Thanks again.

He can't set it to 2 hrs before mining to his pool or people would just reboot their miners every 1 hr 59 min and only lose 13 min per day of mining (based on a 30 sec restart), versus him mining for 22 min a day (1 min 30 sec every 2 hrs like he stated). The breakeven point is about 33 minutes, so he could set it to 20 min and people could configure miners for some time without paying any excess fees.

22 min dev mining per day / 30 sec reboot = 44 restarts/day

24 hr/day / 44 restarts/day = 0.5454 hr/restart = approx 33 min/restart

If the reboot takes 90 sec, then he could set it to 1 hr 39 min, but ppl still might restart often just to spite the dev. So he sets a short amount of time before it mines to his pool.


Wouldn't it be easier to just edit the hosts file of the miner to trick it into thinking the devpool address is the same as the primary pool address?

My intention was not to circumvent anything, but just to explain why it's a short period of time before dev mines his pool. I fully support everything being done here, my miners are waaaay cooler and quieter, I'm very happy with the updates and responsiveness.

I'm leaving the dev fee enabled as well as I also want to support the efforts. Just simply pointing out that people timing reboots to stop the dev fee is silly when there are easier methods. I do hope that eventually blissz will give the option to either pay a 1 time fee upfront rather than a lifetime of dev fee mining. I also hope that this work will soon start to focus on isolating individual algos contained within X11 with the option to pick which of the 11 we would like to mine with so the profitability of these can be recovered. I know new algos won't happen but I don't see any reason we can't isolate and use only one of the 11 that these ASIC chips are already capable of.

In fact, I also faced a much lower actual hashrate reported by the pool compared to what is shown in the Miner Status page. While Miner status shows >20.1GH/s average, the pool only showes ~17GH/s actual. It can be a luck factor, of course, but it was like that for several days in a row (and miner restart didn't change it). So I'm also looking forward to try v2.0 of your firmware...

If you do see a reduced hashrate on your pool I think this might help some of you:

  • you're on an older firmware  which had a bug where it could not switch back to the main pool if it was down and it could hang for two hours in the dev pool.
  • you only have one pool configured. If your main pool dies it will jump to the next alive pool (which is then the devfee pool)
  • your main pool is not stable so it switches to the backup pool sometimes (which will cause that the hashrate is divided over two pools)
  • you mine on a pool that scams you
  • you have so many hardware errors / xxxx that kills your hashrate. (and have auto reboot disabled)
  • you have an unstable internet connection: this will cause that you get the work packages late and you get a lot more then normal discarded shares, because they couldn't be delivered to the pool in time
  • Same as the previous point, but then a bad connection on the pool operator side.
  • For some other reason your d3 just doesn't like my firmware -> just flash back to stock ( I can't think of anything else then the above, but I am just a human...)

Ok so where to start: the kernel log will be really helpful if you experience problems. Furthermore you can run a ping on the pool for a few hours to see if you get lost packages. If you're still in doubt: just post your problem here (describe it good and post your kernel log) so myself or a fellow forum member can help you out.

It now takes 5 (4:35) minutes to get to my pool and start mining on a restart.



Can you double check it in the miner status overview? To see if it's not mining on pool 0 after startup. It might be just the logging actually...

Wow wasted lots of time on blizs firmware  trying to utilize 23gh OC but in the end i found out Its not cut to OC d3  my hashrates we never even close to bitmains firmware even with 23gh on blissz firmware my share ratio was around 15gh becouse the fluctuations   tried lots of pools but in the end switched back to stock firmware where  19,3 stable   24/7  , SO my personal idea ppl who wants to OC dont use this firmware its waste of profit , undervolting is another thing  50%  less energry and i got same 15gh ratio with undervoloting as with OC !

Thanks for this information. It seems to really differ for each d3 then. Some have had good results overclocking with this firmware.
FYI: I am working on a complete rebuild of the firmware. It is based of the latest official firmware and I made some nice improvements on stability (also when overclocking). It would be nice if you could  test the 2.0 versions which I will start releasing soon on your d3. Thanks

blissz,
  I have one D3 that was running pretty well at about 79 degrees on each Temp(Chip) reading for around 15 hrs, then it rebooted this morning and two chains were above 80 (81, 86) when I woke up.  It's running on Auto Silent fan mode, my understanding was that the silent mode keeps it around 80 degrees, is that incorrect?  I usually monitor the D3s ever few hours just in case, but this reboot happened overnight so it worries me a little that I might wake up with a burnt board...

Silent mode will only let the fans go so high so it depends of ur settings if u have it running 17.5gh+  silent mode might not be enough to keep it cool, but if ur running it lower it should be enough to keep it cool depending on ambient temperature of room

Hi Blissz,

After the smooth upgrade to 10/12:


It now takes 5 (4:35) minutes to get to my pool and start mining on a restart.

Since your pool was down a couple days ago, It said WTF! no pool. I thought that was funny, but its not.

It started this api program, to find a way to mine dev. i think?

It does this at every restart since.

thanks for your help.

All other options working fine,

M

what is this api ?

Heard that be4?

The simple reason he doesn't mine at the end of the 2hour period is that it is incredibly easy to configured something that would restart the miner at 1hr 59mins and thus circumvent the dev pool fee.

Thanks for all the support, I am working hard on the background to improve things. As I also do respect all your opinions I decided the following for the next versions:

  • My intention is not to discourage you to change / play with the settings, so the dev mining will start after 5 minutes instead of 2 minutes. This will give you time to grab a coffee / check your settings / correct it if you see a lot of HW errors / do multiple settings at once after a restart before it starts mining on the dev pool.
  • The dev fee pools are shown again in the mining status overview (light grey colored) and also in the kernel log, so everybody can check / see what's going on. If you still have questions about it, please ask friendly in this topic.

It now takes 5 (4:35) minutes to get to my pool and start mining on a restart.

Since your pool was down a couple days ago, It said WTF! no pool. I thought that was funny, but its not.

It started this api program, to find a way to mine dev. i think?

It does this at every restart since.

thanks for your help.

All other options working fine,

I really like what you have done modifiying the firmware but i have one suggestions, which i am pretty sure will ease the issue some ppl have when configuring theire miners regarding the dev fee.
I am all for it and i am pretty sure that others dont mind either that you get a fair share for your work.

I have 5 D3's myself and configuring those machines aint that easy, because each of them has different settings to be applied that the HW errors disappear.
The issue i have is, that after each reboot / configuration change (voltage, adresses, ....) you start mining on your dev pools (after some seconds), this makes it intense to check if my OWN settings are valid.

My suggestion is, please start mining your 1.5% fair share not at each and every reboot / configuration change, but once the miner has run for its 2 hours. So i am only asking you to change the first time you mine for yourself, after 2h you start with your rotation.

Thanks again.

Why do say everybody Mhs instead Ghs. This machine can mine with 17-20Ghs.

@Blissz
Swhat is your opinion from the expand of other algos? This will be possible?
No it wont happen The ASIC chips are made to mine x11 algos only it will never happen.
can you walk using your hands?
can you eat using your legs?
probably not, same goes for x11, it cant mine another algos. it will be like walking using your hands or eating using your legs, surely somebody can do eat using legs and walk using hands it but if it even possible it wont be as effective, if somebody really manages to mine another algos it will not be 17-20-ghs, most likely it will be 20khs, not kidding 20khz
stop asking this question Smiley

He can't set it to 2 hrs before mining to his pool or people would just reboot their miners every 1 hr 59 min and only lose 13 min per day of mining (based on a 30 sec restart), versus him mining for 22 min a day (1 min 30 sec every 2 hrs like he stated). The breakeven point is about 33 minutes, so he could set it to 20 min and people could configure miners for some time without paying any excess fees.

22 min dev mining per day / 30 sec reboot = 44 restarts/day

24 hr/day / 44 restarts/day = 0.5454 hr/restart = approx 33 min/restart

If the reboot takes 90 sec, then he could set it to 1 hr 39 min, but ppl still might restart often just to spite the dev. So he sets a short amount of time before it mines to his pool.


Wouldn't it be easier to just edit the hosts file of the miner to trick it into thinking the devpool address is the same as the primary pool address?

My intention was not to circumvent anything, but just to explain why it's a short period of time before dev mines his pool. I fully support everything being done here, my miners are waaaay cooler and quieter, I'm very happy with the updates and responsiveness.
