Have to admit the concept and the way they present the ability of auto overclocking is pretty cool.

it's just so risky, last time i updated my S19 pro firmware, i couldnt access the HTML page for almost a week ,, it just kept on jaming on my ,, and then it came back on !!
Did you solve this problem? Or are you currently having this issue?
Sometimes this happens due to firmware corruption if you experience this again I suggest you revert it back to stock firmware and use the SD card flashing that you can find on Bitmain support here
ASIC.to has ...
... violated the cgminer license at every step of the way.Even with the S9 where the software was available they would not release their changes.
They state clearly that their latest firmware they must patch it.
Fine, but the license still requires them to release those patches.
ASIC.to has been reliable site in the past for decent alternative firmware for S9 and S17 series. I have used on both of those without any issues in the past.
I currently use MSK miner (mskminer.com) on my S17 Pros. They are both comparable and I just like MSK a little better.
They both have Developer fee's built in of about 2.8%.
The ASIC.to review on YouTube stated the S19j was 2%, but I can find any more details yet.
I am also considering trying the S19J firmware from ASIC.to
It appears their are no links on their site for the S19j firmware at the moment, but very active chat on the Telegram Channel.
I'm reviewing the chat now and may try it or may not.
I suspect the highest hashrates claimed may require liquid cooling and maybe some sort of upgraded power supply.
My only worry is my units are under Bitmain Warranty, and Bitmain will deny warranty if they detect modified firmware having been installed.

TL;DR That is scary!
That looks too good to be true.
The reward would be huge; but if it bricks the device, the loss will be huge.
I would only try if I were absolutely comfortable bricking the device.
Even if the software were audited and proven to work perfectly in theory, the hardware is the "in practice" side of the equation. For example, in theory a switch or push button is a simple "true or false" read; in practice, it needs a debouncer and possibly calibration.
A malicious firmware could make the chips run at full power and turn the fans off, thus burning all hashing boards.
At that point, whether it can brick the control board too is relatively irrelevant if all hashboard melted.
A non malicious firmware could do the same because of some bug or by being installed on the wrong target device.
Bitcoin ASICs are probably the most optimized chips ever created. I can't think of any chip with as much incentive for optimization. Yet, some obscure "asic to the moon" website claims to DOUBLE the output of such chips. That also imply that it doubles the performance because the power supply cannot give double the amount of power, nor do its power cables. And the electrical circuit it is connected to probably can't provide that power either.
I think it is also worth to point out that the more device that are taken offline, the lower the global hashrate; so there is an incentive. And a clever malicious firmware could "run just fine for a couple weeks", just long enough to make someone confident to install the same firmware on all its miners, and then strike the whole farm at once.
I would love, sincerely, to hear counterarguments.

Hello miners,
I just found this website and they clam they have a FirmWare for the S19 and the S19 pro , Overclocking to a hashing power of exactly double the manufacturer ?!
has anyone downloaded their firmware and installed it on S19 Pro ?
it's just so risky, last time i updated my S19 pro firmware, i couldnt access the HTML page for almost a week ,, it just kept on jaming on my ,, and then it came back on !!
here's a link to the firmware page : https://asic.to/
waiting for your inputs
