When are you going to release new firmware with all the features listed on your site?

I cannot wait for failover feature to actually try it.


failover feature?

Sorry, i meant Load balance... when I try 2 pool load balance, none of the pools are working. I thought with your build you can have 1 titan mine in 2 pools at the same time ?

EXCITING NEWS!!!!:

Just finished up my first RC build of "Energy Saver" ... will be tested soon. Its almost ready for release woohooo!    ~ granted there arent any major bugs that creep up beyond this point ha! =P

How existing customers can get access to these builds?

It seems you and Vegas had a fight  Shocked
You was partners and now what ?
I am pretty sure his version will work ok but is better if you will tell us what happen and you end the partnership ?  Huh

Long story short, he ended up abandoning the project and myself, not amicably.
He was unwilling to relinquish control of sales to me even when I offered just as many perks as he already enjoyed including the same profit splitting. So, he decided to leave claiming thats what I wanted of him, even when I telling him I didnt want him to leave. He left saying he would shutdown his site and ebay. A week later his ebay reopened, a month later his site reopened and now he is selling fake v1.0 dubbed firmware, which is really just my earlier test builds of "Energy Saver" (because he was testing for me).
He left w/o sharing the customer db with me. So I have no idea who my customers even are, Im rebuilding that from scratch and some of it even on good faith of the customers.

Quick PSA:

Vegasguy has re-opened his site and updated his ebay ad.
I want to make PERFECTLY CLEAR ... the version he is selling is fake and unfinished, it is from my test builds. In the terms of version It is NOT the official v1.0 in fact, its my very unfinished and buggy code of the "Energy Saver" edition.  Several bugs Ive discovered since then can be detrimental to the Titan.
If you purchase from him, you will receive no support from myself(the creator of the current release v.99e).

Id like to remind everyone once again MY website & the official way to obtain the firmware is http://gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com

If any of you are upset about this as I am, I encourage spreading the word to let others know.

Update:

Going forward, all sales will be handled exclusively through my website: http://gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com

I will eventually create a new ebay ad as well, which will link to my site for clarity and customers of sales made on ebay will use my site as a portal for receiving my firmware & future updates.

All proceeds from sales on my site will go to the the developer of the project(myself).

I do not have access to the customer list that vegasguy maintained so  ... I will have to try and figure out my customer base from scratch. Anyone on here this forum that has purchased firmware using vegasguy's site can send me a pm w/ ur email and subsequently create an account using the same email address on the new site.  I will also need to see a copy of the confirmation email received when ordering from either vegasguy's site or a paypal receipt from ebay showing that the firmware was purchased from either source.
**NOTE** For the above ... customer verification only needs to happen when I release a new version of the firmware. So, there is no rush on this.

   vegasguy has closed the portion of his site for my firmware permanently, has also removed the ebay ad.   ... or so he says and has done, but may eventually try creating new sites .. etc..


Sorry for the inconvenience, I ask the community for patience as I sort this all out. I do plan on releasing the "energy saver" edition after this gets settled.


MAJOR RELEASE 3.3.16 - v1.0.0

wait for it.....    Wait for It............  WAIT FOR IT......................

RELEASE NOTES:

Major Features, Additions, Fixes & Changes:
Added the long awaited “Energy Saver” feature – automatically tunes die voltages for highest effeciency while keeping the die stable as possible & hw% low. ~~MORE INFO HERE!!! ~~
DCDC Over-Current protection – any DCDC’s detected above 46A will be issued a die reset, if that fails then die speed is clocked down significantly to prevent DCDC failure.
Long Term Stability checking for all dies – bumps voltage up on a die if it becomes unstable more than 2x in a period of 2 days.
Per RPI Cube Tracking – if cubes are added, removed or moved around their last known clocks and volts on a given pi will be restored.
Internet outtage / dead pool detection to prevent miner from constantly resetting itself.
Slight webgui redesign.
Product license activation.
Full Copyright & end user license information.
Much smaller installation file.


Additional Features, Additions, Fixes & Changes:
Full translation of webgui pages to 80+ different languages.
Logging file output format refined and also includes more timestamps now.
Optimized timing of die / cube soft and hard resets.
Fixed format of advanced.conf file not being updated properly when user changes/removes/adds cubes or manually sets dies OFF.
ADVANCED page now shows which dies(if any) are being throttled because of DCDC over temp threshold.
ADVANCED page now auto refreshes every 5 minutes.
Noticed in rare cases dies are configured with positive voltage – wrote correction code for this.
For “Energy Saver” implemented cross reboots internal data array tracking capability.
Ability for user to save Log Files to a file to be posted or emailed for diagnostic purposes. (This is part of the Energy Saver options).
Added BALANCE strategy to MINER page – this may work better than LOAD-BALANCE for some users.
Removal of BFGminer version option – in testing 5.1.0 works best with Titans – can re-add later on as an optional installation file if demand is high enough.
More fixes to KNC’s shoddy code.
And many more small fixes / improvements too numerous to list.

All the previous firmware features and improvements are included!

Now … you’re probably asking yourself “yeah yeah, but how much do all these wonderful new features cost?” Simple: $75 first full copy, $35 for additional licenses.

Verified Previous Customers: The upgrade to this firmware is completely FREE for the number of Titans the previous version was purchased. Additional Titans require additional license purchase. If you created an account here previously then you will find license keys issued to your account. **NOTE** If you have not created an account on this site and verified your previous purchases, please contact me - http://gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com/custom-knc-titan-firmware-contact/

New Customers: Prices as detailed above.

***IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTICE*** – Upon upgrading to and activation of this firmware, its EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to keep track of which license was used on your KNC Titan(s). An easy way to do this is create backups of your Titan(s) after activating, then keep record of which backup went to which Titan.

***PRODUCT NOTICE*** – upon purchasing / obtaining this software, the end user agrees to the license terms set forth here(this file is also contained in my firmware): gentarkincustomtitan.pcriot.com/gentarkin_mod/LICENSE

Guys, am I missing something?

Titan 1.95 and up has been working great for me since March... what does this version offer, aside from disabling dead dies?  
If you don't have restarting/dead dies is there any other benefits ?

You can read all about my firmware improvements here:
https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan

It does MUCH more then "disable" dead dies, heck it technically doesnt even do that at all... LOL

I burned your image to SD card and my titan is is now crashing during boot up giving this error:

wrong seq4 value 0x40



Never mind,- I figured it out.  My PSU was not outputting a full 5 volts to the Pi.

!!!ANNOUNCING!! v.99c for premium/prepaid/predonated members!
 --v.99b is now available for *free*(.75% don) users.

PREMIUM members, you should soon see the updated v.99c in your member page which you were supplied when you purchased the firmware. "vegasguy" will supply you with more info.

Release notes: https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/tag/v.99c

Code:
AutoBypass Dies, BFGminer 5.3.0, pf4g's KNCminion & more! 


Major changes in this release:
 1. Auto-bypass of dies which cause constant soft / hard resets. How this works: If a die has caused more than 5 soft / hard resets within
2 hours then that die will be flagged for autobypass - meaning monitoring of its "hashing health" will be further ignored and the die will be on
its own. Its DCDC's will still be monitored for temperature conditions though, so if soft / hard resets are being caused by temp issues ..
these will NOT be ignored! The list of dies bypassed is persistent across pi reboots etc, when a die has been bypassed a message will be
shown on ADVANCED page w/ an option to clear the autobypass file.
 2. Updated BFGminer to 5.3.0
 3. Integrated pf4g's KNCminion webgui extension & added a link "more goodies" on status page.

Minor changes & fixes:
 1. Disabled http access logging by default(option still exists to enable in SYSTEM page).
 2. Set bfgminer 5.1.0 as default miner to be ran (can still change it to 5.3.0 via ADVANCED page).
 3. Minor tweaks to ADVANCED running bfgminer version readout.
 4. Added reset count per die to /var/log/monitordcdc.log
 5. Optimized various sections of my code additions in monitoring script.
 6. v.99b made available for "free" users.

NOTES - as usual , please contact me in bitcointalk.org forum or litecointalk.org for w/ bugs, questions etc...

For people running the *free*(donate version) v.99a version, you can either update via the UPGRADE button on STATUS page OR download the .bin file from here: https://github.com/GenTarkin/Titan/releases/tag/v.99b
