Topic: Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (10/12 v1.12 update) - page 8. (Read 125923 times)

Very good information. I have no intention to share/(open ports on) my pool. Hell - I have no intention of running a pool at all if possible!
My only idea is to mine solo suitable coins. So my questions:

1. does cgminer (antminer's version in particular) support getwork? I would think no - but not sure, that's why I'm asking.
2. getwork proxy - basically turn stratum back into getwork so D3 to mine against a wallet (deamon or qt). You answered this with #5, right?

tl;dr version: If you couldn't take the time to read through my ramblings you'd never manage to deal with all the conflicting software issues with a pool.. so just don't.

I did a little home pool. and omg.. EVERY piece of software out there to run pools has some kind of issue, unless you have EXACTLY the hardware/os combo that the guy who wrote it does. (okay I'm exaggerating... but not as much as you'd think)
Anyway apparently we had an electrical issue.. all the bitmain's are fine, but the comp that had the pool on it.. fan fired on video card (wouldn't think it would be that big a deal since it mostly doesn't get used unless the grandkids are using my laptop and I can't just ssh in. hahaha) after replacing that I'm hung at initializing usb - still working on what is causing that.. thought it was the card reader, but nope.  - so since I'm taking a break from the hardware issues... lemme break some stuff down on the "creating your own pool" thing.
#1 if you are just going to do it for your own use or only tell a couple of friends.. cool. - start spreading that out there and now you gotta go whole hog on security etc.. since every dinky asshole out there goes "target aquired"
#2 Software   - you "can" run a pool on windows. only a couple of pools allow for that though. My favorite was coiniumserv - no one is working on it anymore though and it has alot of little annoying problems.. but hey if you really like digging through tons of code to see what the problems are.... hehe.. it has some pretty neat features, will run on nix or windows etc.. IF you are using a coin it is good with.. bam it will work out well.. half the time the only way to tell is to put it up and run it and see.  it will work or it won't ... next nomp..   so.. umm yeah in theory it will run on windows.. never got it to work..  on nix..(oh I should clarify - I was using ubuntu 14 then 16 through all the *nix side stuff)  it gave me more fits than it was worth. - next I went to unomp.. and lo after some twitching got it to work.. and pretty well too. but it didn't do all I wanted it to do... and as I was looking into some others.. poof.. comp died. I was going to try yiimp or yaamp next..  though recent pools based on those and the glitches they have had I'm a little concerned. but coiniumserv worked for a few coins.. and unomp worked okay for basic "I wanna make a pool so I can solo mine X"  -
#3 hardware  if you have less than 8gb ram .. stick with 1 maaaaybe 2 coins   with 8gb you can do a few more, but when you see it start filling up the swap file constantly time to put a little more in.  other than ram I have yet to see an issue other than I cobbled together the "server" from crap left in my garage ... so if you have an hold piece of trash laying around so long as you can get some memory into it .. or if you only want to do one specific coin - you "can" be good to go.
#4 everything else..    okay so you go to say github get your pool software.. got yourself a little ubuntu machine (or whatever) now the fun begins.. most of this stuff is written to use SPECIFIC versions of things that are getting harder and harder to find. half the time the OS is too up to date to effectively compile the sucker. Pretty much no matter which you pick or try.. you are going to have issues compiling - and you will feel that the computer hates you.. and it will be one thing after another...
So anyway I'd do coiniumserv first and try.. 'cause when it works it's nice.  - there is a "better" version of it on one of the forks.. vagabond?something I think ...  better as in more likely to work with newer coins. there is a pretty detailed step by step of configuring it all.. oh that's the other thing.. every and I mean EVERY one out there has something in it where the coder felt something was a "given" and assumes you already knew that or your distro just comes with "whatever" and it's not and it doesn't.  then if that fails try unomp - if you know that the coin you want to mine has had significant changes in the last couple of years or is a newer coin or is hybrid pow/pos then skip to unomp.
oh and when it comes time to compile coin wallets.. oh what fun..  half of them out there would compile fine on ubuntu12 - but then the pool software will be like.. wait what?!?!  I was tempted to pick out a pile of wallets compile them all on 12 (if I can find it) and then upgrade it to 14 and put on pool software and see what happened. hehe.  okay again this is some exaggeration.. some wallets will be fine, some will give you fits.. some will have a binary already built for your distro of whatever.
#5 a proxy... I'm working on it. but I have like 50 pokers in various fires.. so ummmm yeah.  I had something working long ago using a combo of stralheims??? can't remember the name proxy and bfgminer (where both were on the comp with the wallet) but I can't remember how I did it (it was a long time ago) sadly bfgminer while it can "be" a proxy it HATES cgminer based things.. and I mean hates.. I am surprised when you try to connect one that it doesn't pop up a message saying "cgminer detected - screw that guy" -

anyway... there is my 2 cents on that.

blissz,
  any chance you would release a fee free version of the firmware with a one time fee instead?

Nice work Blissz! This is a great mod.
It looks like my blissz D3s don't crash now.

I've been trying different things and one of them was to solo mine.
Dash is way out of might league, but there are other X11 coins too.

Has anybody figured out yet how to switch to getwork instead of stratum?
Or maybe used some stratum-getwork proxy (if that is a thing at all).
The opposite of slush's pool getwork-stratum proxy

I guess as a final option (but very undesirable one) I could install a private pool, which I desperately try to avoid, because I've never done it and don't know how.
Is there a youtube video how to install X11 pool for dummies? Preferably on Windows? LOL

First post:

"Upgrade instructions:
Recommended, at your current firmware, set the miner frequency at 400mhz and set your fan speed manual at 25% before flashing.
Download the custom firmware. (don't unpack it)
Flash by going to "System" -> "Upgrade" -> "Flash new firmware image" and select the custom firmware.
After flashing, check the advanced settings page and start at the lowest voltage setting and 400mhz. From there increase your frequency to see how high you can go at the lowest voltage setting.
Start tweaking some more. See the profile suggestions below."

Hi can anyone point me to a guide through of updating the firmware of D3?
Also, if the firmware is updated, the warranty will be void?

Just so its clear reset the machine by pushing the reset button / or do you mean reset by reflashing stock firmware (did i change the password ?)

thanks man

Thank you, I will try update the firmware

Boards sometimes do that. Are you running version 1.12? I was on 1.11 and the issue went away when I upgraded to 1.12 Also, maybe you are overclocking too much? Voltage too low? If you can't stabilize it your board may be bad (is it always the same board that goes XXXX?). Last resort, there is an option in the firmware to auto-reboot when this happens. Last last resort you can RMA the board.

When using D3 on antpool, a row of xxxxx status on the last row, but when point to nicehash, the miner is fine. does this mean that the hardware is faulty?
Any software to update on D3? Is there a way to lower the hashrate to cool the D3 down a bit, so the status might be all oooooo instead of xxxx.
My status is on xxxxxx on the last line of the miner status. Any advice please

Try a reset first. If that won't work you might have to do a recover with the micro sd card method as described on the first page.

After installing the firmware i cant login in to the ssh connection the root /admin dont work anymore
     
      HELP please ....

Sounds Like on hell of a plan that we would all love to become a reality.
If it is profitable on a different algo you could also charge money to sell the firmware!
Helps make sure not everyone will use it and is a win - win!

just press ctrl f5

Dear Friday13,

I do , I have do the backup and clear my chache using CCleaner as well.
However the miner type still showing Antminer D3 Blissz v1.12 . I have contact the Antminer service support . Currently they request me to show the Overview . Which I can't able to claim it if I show them this version.

I have try couple time as well. It still doesn't back up to the original Antminer version.

Dear Bliss,
If you read this , could you lend me a help ?
Very much appreciate !

Support!

Blissz, so you can be 100% sure which algorithms are supported by x11. Here is a list.

blake

bmw

groestl

jh

keccak

skein

luffa

cubehash

shavite

simd

echo

X12, X13, X14, X15 and X17 are all exactly the same but with additional algorithms added in. Out of all the X11 algorithms listed above groestl should currently be the most profitable even at a severely reduced hash rate. If possible, I would try to focus on groestl first and then skein as a 2nd alternative. Cracking this problem of isolating a single algo is something that I believe many of us would be willing to support financially in a big way as we would all benefit in a big way.

I use the firmware and my miners work on Antpool, but sometimes 1-2 of the Antpools are offline, but this you have with the Orig. Firmware, too

Hi, thanks for the software, I had some thoughts/requests:

I wanted to request a profile setting feature so it's easy to switch between various custom settings. That way I can quickly switch between quieter settings for night and higher settings for when leaving the house or whatever else, quickly.

Sometimes the older firmware works better for me, sometimes not, definitely make all versions available. One of my hashboards comes back to life sometimes on the old firmware, but it stays dead on the newer firmware.

+1 for other algo's!
