is it normal, that in newest Awesome miner firmware i cant set Firmware mining profile anymore? i get "not supported" with first S9 i tried with this new FW
downgrade to 3.8.6 is also not possible anymore?!
whats going on in the firmware section?
and i really still need a hint how to manage Braiins OS+ miners...at least pool config and reboot should work...pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
We will very soon release Awesome Miner 9.1 to support the Mining Profile configuration in combination with S9 firmware v3.9.
BraiinsOS is supported for monitoring but the operation support is limited. As most of our users are either running the Bitmain default firmware our the Awesome Miner firmware, these are the two prioritized firmware for Awesome Miner.
In case you can enable SSH on BraiinsOS, can you use this to at least be able to reboot the miner?
so your advice is "use other services and dont buy more licenses, cause it is only for monitoring, which can be done on other platforms for free"?!
liked your tool and all - but...with no effort to get other firmware than vnish to work...it´s a shame...sorry!
also the new 3.9.0 - no way to flash other firmware...you should point to it...but you be silent and take additional dev fee for...what?! (vnish 1,8% - your software 3% or license +2%)
again..dont get me wrong...your tool is great...but service - get worse over time
Thanks for your feedback. It's always a matter of priorities. We would love to support 100% of all ASIC miners and 100% of all firmware combinations out there, but as this isn't realistic we must prioritize based on where we have a demand. So far we have not seen much demand for BraiinsOS and this is the reason why the support is limited. This was simply to answer why the support for BraiinsOS is limited today (low demand) - it was not a statement that we never will improve the BraiinsOS integration. We have made a number of adjustments to Awesome Miner in the past to make it more compatible with custom firmware. If there is a demand, we will of course look into it.
I always listen and make notes of all suggestions and requests we get. Based on that we try to make as many users as happy as possible. So your feedback is appreciated.
To answer your question about the dev fee. It's the same for Awesome Miner and all other Vnish firmware. The only exception is for S9 where we have the 3% edition as well. All Vnish based firmware has 2% mining fee for S9 and 3% mining fee for S17. The number 2% is by some marketed as 1.8% as it's closer to 1.8% on average over a longer period of time, while 2% is the maximum at any given moment. We call it 2% to make it simple, while the true average number is actually a bit lower (closer to 1.8%).
For Antminer S17 the dev fee is 3% for all Vnish based firmware, including the Awesome Miner Antminer firmware. The benefit of running the Awesome Miner version of the firmware is that we give you the management and monitoring via Awesome Miner at no additional cost.
We have considered to use the number 1.8% and 2.8% instead of 2% and 3% to avoid any confusion when comparing firmwares.
Version 3.9 includes a new signature check for the firmware in order to prevent Antminer viruses from taking over your Antminer. There are unfortunately Antminer viruses out that causing major issues for those getting their Antminers infected. This signature check is the reason why a downgrade will be rejected via the web interface. Flashing via SD-card will of course still work so you can change to any other firmware if you want.
UPDATE: I looked into BraiinsOS and BraiinsOS+ and have implemented support for the Reboot and Default Pools operations.
