How to mine bitcoin

That made no sense where did I quote you. What are you talking about. Also another update as many of you have seen BTCTOOLS now support Canaan. We did a pull request that was approved to add more support for btctools.

You are someone who's been violating the cgminer license for so many years ...

Yet seriously? You gonna post that comment I quoted?

S19 Firmware support all control board types except amlogic boards. Amlogic boards will be supported in the future when we feel it is appropriate to release to the public. We notice our bootloader was stolen and our exploits for the s19 so we are not releasing the amlogic firmware until the time is right. Sorry but some people like to ruin it for the others

YT video to help

If you don't have to pay for electricity the non LPM firmware is probably best and just run at 16th/s and call it a day.

It was interesting following it through. Fair enough giving it a miss, it seems to be working pretty well at the moment. I was just curious to see what it could do.

Like others in the thread, I don't have to pay for electricity as it's covered in my rent. Pretty lucky.

Wow that is a lot of reading.

Nothing for the S9 SE we figure it is going to be outdated soon so we skipped it. You must have cheap power to be running an s9 see?

Just read through this thread from start to finish. Great work Taserz in developing the firmware and helping others out as you went with that T9 debacle.

I've recently picked up an S9 SE. I'm guessing the firmware you developed won't work on it based on the above?

Nope sorry

Does this firmware work on S9k and S9E ?

It's estimate power consumption. For exact one you should use a power mater like Kill A Watt.

Do you know how they manage to show the watt consumption in the UI ?

Yes it works on those.

Does this firmware work on all S9 variant like i and j ?

If you run or operate a mining farm please contact me for our partnership program. Where we can include a fee for you in the firmware to give your clients as a referral kickback.

Sometimes it's best to pass along other firmware modifications that have been developed longer than the time I have spent on this project.

Here is a flashable firmware with some pretty solid specs that beats all the current competition. I have partnered up with another brand to help release their firmware for the US markets. That is until the team I am working with finishes the project we are working on but that is hush for now

There is a dev fee on this firmware but it is less than what you will find on asicseer and the competitors. Here are the results

475 - 8.0 - 10 TH/s - 750 watt
550 - 8.2 - 11,6 ths - 950 watt
(78 waтт / THs)
631 - 8.3 - 13,5 ths - 1100 watt
(81 waтт / THs)
700 - 8.6 - 14,9 ths - 1300 watt
(85 waтт / THs)
750 - 8.7 - 16.1 ths - 1450 watt
(90 waтт / THs)

As you can see this allows current S9's to still be profitable at the current difficulty for those with 7 cent power and cheaper.

To upgrade just flash this firmware through the console. This has Asic Boost, LPM, Auto Tune. It has triggers to restart if hashrates fall if more then 5 xxx on the chain. Min Frequency is 400mhz. I suggest setting Frequency for auto tune and clicking save. Then for the next 30minutes to 1 hour expect the machine to reboot as it tunes.

Yes as is the firmware I link in my main post Auto Tune is great. But you can always just hard set the values and be done.

I am running the BixBit firmware (with Dev Fee.......) 0n my T9+. A few things I would change but generally a very solid bit of code. Am pretty certain that the per chip Frequency setting, at least in the BixBit code, works as the effect on Hash Rate & Efficiency track very well.

Have ditched using the Autotune and have spent some Hours doing all the changes manually. The T9+ is now running at a steady 10.3TH consuming 930W at the wall, which is a none too shabby 0.09 J/GH :-)

I would love to test it out.  I ordered a spare s17 controller for testing.

So far only been working on overclocking. The efficiency, of course, is worse when pushing it further but tests showed it is viable to overclock with common mining farm rates. T17 to over 52th/s S17 stable 73-75/th lots to work on still. Was developing a tool to easy ssh and flash non signed firmware for mass deployment but ironing out the firmware is more important.

Can you share details like efficiency or power consumption? S17 vanilla or other versions?
