101  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: IN STOCK AND SHIPPING - OneStringMiner boards on: March 19, 2014, 10:15:27 PM
Some more testing  Grin

http://miningonmyown.com/2014/03/19/one-string-miner-test-1/

I found out my PSU only provides 11,5V with the PCI-E cables....  Sad that's why these boards "only" hash at 26 to 29 GH/s. I will try another PSU tomorrow.

I also used thermal paste between heatsink and PCB, keeps it some degrees celcius cooler  Grin

Or use an adjustable power supply, something like this one (just an example):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-Amp-12-Volt-DC-13-8V-Regulated-Power-Supply-for-Ham-Radio-CB-US-SELLER-/360874766820

Output voltage can be set with a potmeter, so you can easily adjust for
the IR drop in the wiring. And often these are cheaper than PC PSUs.

You will be suprised with the hashrate when the boards are operated
'slightly' over 12 Volts:) Have six of them hashing now with a total of
202.78 GH/s at 13V1.  (Remember this warranty thingie;)

I wonder how he maintains that farm. Knowing bitfury rigs to be flaky I wonder if he's got some guy whose sole job is to toy around with the best.cnf file or to reboot and/or start/stop miners like a madman.


It was odd to see all of the miners laying on their sides. Maybe that will help the dreaded card wobble due to the fans I have on them.

That will indeed increase stability of the H-CARDs.
Sticking packing foam peanuts between the cards
also helps a lot:)

Packing peanuts? The heat insulation ack. Or do you mean just along the top?

I managed to get a full rig recognized and stably hashing on bfgminer with the V1 Mboard that has all chips in 1 long spi chain Tongue

Like so:

What is that sexy device pictured? Looks like a shortened Mboard had a baby with you shash

Exactly right:) It's an 8 slot M-board with Ethernet.

Will someone translate what 864 rolled hash cores means? What's the speed and what's the difference between rolled and un-rolled cores?

In a unrolled architecture the operations that make up
a certain calculation are laid down individually in silicon
in a pipelined fashion. This means every clock cycle another
calculation can be started and (after the pipe delay) every clock
tick another result is produced.

In a rolled architecture there is only a single 'main calculation
block' and partial results are fed back into that block until a
result is produced. Results are produce less frequent, but
the silicon area taken up is also smaller, so more loops can
be implemented on the same die.

When you roll up a calculation to a tight loop taking up less
area, changes of a defect of that block are smaller. However
there is a small penalty in silicon area for defining the stop condition
(i.e. 'is the calculation ready or not?').

Update:


Got 4 chips, 3 working, 1 one i think i busted because i didnt check if the 1.8v line was ok on one of the H-cards(H-card still fixable, jut got to remove the connections as they lead to GND and make new ones on air wires Smiley ).

Out of the 5 H-cards repaired, 4 are confirmed to work.
Pictures and schematics doon.

Will send you some more chips to play with:)

116  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: TECHNOBIT S-HASH minig board and Bitfury on: February 12, 2014, 11:46:28 AM
can anyone post a firmware for the s-hash newer than the one on the technobit site and what is the best pool for these??

c-scape? anyone? my s0hashes keep switching pools. there is no software  possibility to overclock these right? since mine run at ~33gh @ ~29 degrees celcius

S-HASH can be overclocked by changing a resistor value.
Look for resistor R01T near the power module and replace
it for one with a lower value. Not sure what it is now, try
100K/82K/70K.

Only try this when you know what you do though!
You can damage the board when the output voltage
is made too high.

Read the datasheet of APTS050A0X3-SRPHZ for more info.

117  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] Bitfury is looking for alpha-testers of first chips! FREE MONEY HERE! on: February 10, 2014, 11:07:49 PM
I was actually looking at adding one.

Ideally I wanted to add a SPI one so that I can put it on the same bus as the chips, and that way it could physically be located right next to the last chip in the chain. This would be ideal as the output SPI signals are right next to the 1.8V and that way the thermometer chip can be literally millimeters from the bitfury chip.
Except that I can't find ones that work at 1.8V - all of the SPI ones I've found need at least 2.5V or 3.3V.

There are some that work at 1.8V but they're I2C but I can't put them on the same SPI bus (as some of the signaling will interfere with the RESET sequence).

The alternative is to run extra wiring just for the temp. sensor alone, but that's a whole another can of worms.

And not to mention those chip-sensors are ridiculously expensive.

So, on my to-do list I've added to use a cheap AVR or PIC that works at 1.8V (those in the $0.4-0.5 range will do) and just code my own thermal sensor and make it just enough SPI-compatible so that it can be added on the chain of bitfury chips.

Or if anyone else has other ideas - please share...

A low-cost NTC and a small MCU running Steinhart-Hart would do the trick:)

Only if there are chips first Sad Waiting since November to build some more strings.

One strange thing i have noticed, is that the hashrate is increasing with the time without any other changes - started with 245Gh and now at 265Gh/s ... ~7% increase it's like with the time the clock stabilizes and increases or the chips get in some kind of resonance between themselves.
@intron do you have similar experience with strings?

The hashrate of a strings design is heavily dependent
of the supply voltage. You are sure this didn't change?

I am definitely interested in them when they come out.  Looks great so far.
If you need someone to test any units for you let me know.
