@Artemis3 I think we can all agree that your firmware provides a significant advantage over OEM currently in regards to performance. I can see how you can and should boast to say hey, we did it first and even better. I get it. Not discounting your contribution.
There is never a need to convince anyone of anything, I agree fully. The intention of my post was not to insult you or anyone else. I was simply stating that by running the new oem firmware it may offer a similar advantage to non-oem firmware which in fact may cut into the financials of pools and companies like yours. Not personal only my assessment based on logic.
I'm only looking at it from the business perspective and how I perceive the fiscal impact (good and bad) that may result from this new firmware release by Bitmain.
Actually we did it first and better. We invented auto-tune
Also yes this will 100% effect their profits and ours but with our new update we are not worried
Well, also, important point to remember, that when you use 3rd party firmware, they are taking some % of your hash rate also.
So if you do such measurements above as altair_tech has done, you have to remove the % off your TH performance numbers,
since some at least don't do the fee mining all at the same time as pool mining, but rather take the fee mining away at various times.
This is why we provide a widget that realtime calculates the fee and doesn't use encrypted traffic to hide the work as they could possibly be stealing hash. Also the reason you said is why you need to do 1 hour or 24 hour average for hashrate. 15min will not be accurate and usually under report.
Now back onto the topic
I love how no one believed me in telegram that it would reduce hashrate. We have had this firmware for months now. We have an insider at a bitmain mining facility that has high power costs and it is what they were running.
That being said since braiins is shilling their shit I am about to do a mic drop
This is from a client testing our autotune in Air in Canada.

Very high performing S19 assumed to be a unicorn at this point as it is new record holder for best efficiency at stock/stock+small oc range thus far.
