Hy guys
I don't understand, why better this firmware than the stock firmware? Because the profit on19,3Ghs with 1200w is equal 17Ghs on 750W-1,5 fee.


yeah this is the only question i have but the efficency numbers are crazy with this firmare:

stock
19600 ms at 1200 watt - .0612  watt/ms or 16.33  ms/watt

18500 ma at 920 watt - .049 watt/ms or 20 ms/Watt

15000 ma at 700 watt - .046 watt/ms or 21 mhs/watt

thats roughly a 20 percent increase in efficency which also traanlatea to longer life on the chips
which equals more time to roi , as well as less heat

now all i need are some numbers on the dev fee to see the true gains

Yes, at like 9 bucks a day, its less than a penny per d3 miner per day. and my miner makes no noise, and I can turn it down really low for the night to be low power consumption when there is no sun to collect.

still worth it.

30 cents a month... thats cool.

I saw this russian building an new controller alltogether for the d3 so it could mine scrypt, quark, and x13/15, etc. He wants 300 bucks a unit. I am considering this as well.

If you have 100 units I understand your concern. But a couple, this is worth it in all cases.

Marty ,


Breath.

He has been totally upfront and transparent about it, if you read the thread.


He is taking 1.5% of your time per hour.

It's for his coding time.

Totally fair and reasonable.

you telling me to breathe or did you take a breath?



Ok, I never found that BECAUSE, to search for something on this forum leads me ALWAYS to searching again, and reading some "You have to wait 360 seconds" crap. And any new person, would have to look through 70 some pages to find it, and I did not see it, so its not "Plain as day" It is just insinuated all over the place clearly. I bet its on page one, so sorry.

So, first, thank you.

Second, As long as the dev. fee ends at some point? Can you point me to the page explaining this, I have to wait another 360 seconds...Is it 1.5% forever Blissz? I mean a lot of people are asking about missing hash rate at the sites they are pooling at, and If that is it welllll.....now I know too.

Finally, If I add the 1.5% to the million restarts I have done, I am sure I am a few blocks behind where I would of been; with a deafer ear of course. But my girlfriend would not of accepted the original noise of restarts at night I am sure.

Thank you Blissz, sorry for bringing this up..

1.I love my quiet fan at every start up. (I hate I restart so much, but that is a lot faster!!)

2. I love tuning each string to perfection. (1-10 HW a day is my goal).

3. I Love that you will change the fan selection to the advanced config page in your next version!!!

However, I bet many did not know because it is not easy to search on the forum as a newbie.

But now we know,

And I am still happy.

M



You don't have to search for anything, read the first post in the thread with all the details of the firmware before using it, in particular:

Quote
It's really experimental so here are the terms:
- I am not responsible for any damage to your miner, flash at your own risk
- You're not going to complain about the 1.5% mining fee.

It is not uncommon for mining software to have a dev fee, implemented as some time per hour the miner works for the dev, quite common practice.

There is still a problem (with new version of FW) when some miners go to backup pool every 1 hour.

Can you copy paste PM your full kernel log?

please take max priority to switch other algo ;-)

You can't do that...

For adding variables to things that were fixed variables and recompile the binary?
if somone can create a fee free version lol go for it

Blissz,

I keep seeing a point pop up about the miners mining for you personally as a development fee for one second an hour or every time we reboot...or some CRAP like that!

Now I do not believe it.

But, If there is any weird (non transparent) thing going in the background, please make it transparent.

If there is Not, Please state that, and stop these thoughts from all our heads.

One guy talks about 1.5% of all our mining goes to you in a dev. fee, as in mining for you?

wtf is that? Is there any truth to what I am reading between the lines?

i do not care, just so it is up front, because "I love what you have done for me so far".

Please do not delete this from the forum, many are wondering.

Thanks,

Marty

it must be hard to perform autotune, especially with completly random error.
I agree, I hope Blissz doesn't fall into a rabbit hole with this. Boards sometimes throw tons of errors, sometimes work fine. I have one board that doesn't throw much errors but craps out after a few hours if I push it too far. Also the fact that changing settings in one board (for some mysterious reason) affects the other boards. It took me days to understand and tune this thing, I definitely wouldn't try to automate it Smiley

Impressive, well done. Undervolting would void the warranty prob like with oc.

Yes I will add this to the topic as this definitely voids the warranty on the mining boards Smiley
On the other hand, this will improve efficiency and heat problems, so on average this will improve the lifetime of the miner

Is it possible to detect modded firmware or clock changes if the device is hard reset?

If sound is a concern, its same 'profit' for less noise.

I'm only using this on two D3s that had instability problems.  Was able to bump voltage on unstable chains and lower it on stable chains and get all chains hashing stably with a lot less HW errors.  So it has that utility as well.  Can't see switching any other miners over to this firmware though as they are running stable at ~19.3. 
19.3 at 1200 watts is bad though

blissz I'm a embedded linux engineer and found this thread after trying to find anyone that might have the toolchain to cross compile for this ARM. I'd love to join in on what you're doing. I also have 40 D3's...  Smiley I've been buying from the weak-hearted on ebay. Anyways let me know, I can send you my resume if you want.

Is it possible to clock each hashboard individually?
For example I have one hashboard, which has with higher clock many HW errors (but the two others are OK)

Dude, read the OP on page one.

I dont have access to my devices, this is pool stats. I will send log later. I useing Prohashing for primary and Zpool for backup pool.
This is my backup pool. Miner software shows that currently all miners are on prohashing pool.
