Title: Some reboot with my Avalon 1246
Post by: Havane on October 02, 2021, 07:31:19 AM
Hello

Since few days, I have regular auto reboot with my miner.
Is it a normal behavior ? Nothing special in the log.
I use the stratum+tcp://sha256asicboost.eu-west.nicehash.com pool

Below the chart of minerstat

It seems that this miner doesn't support ASICboost try to use a normal pool or change or pool to ViaBTC.

The list of the normal pool is listed at this link below.

Starting with the A9xx series all Avalons fully support ASICboost although yes, *some* pools require you to point them at their AB-specific addresses. Thing is, if a pool is setup properly it should make no difference. As part of setting up the stratum connection the pool should ask if the miner can do AB and if the miner replies 'yes', that is how it will work.

As for craphash - they require the #xnsub code and AFAIK the Avalons (rightly so) do NOT support that as #xnsub is a huge security hole. NH uses #xnsub to seamlessly switch coins w/o having the miner reboot to do it. Thing is, that code allows running many other things as well with the miner never letting you know what it is doing.
