Except that you forgot the difference between "power" and "current".

Yeah, arbitrarily heat the temp sensor to at least 60C. If the fans aren't running full speed it's because it's not hot enough to need to do so.

The main regulator isn't directly cooled by those fans anyway so that shouldn't change much.

Also how are you getting over 130GH average when 250MHz peaks at 110GH? And then the fans idle down? That only happens when it's cold, and if it's cold it's not hashing at 120% theoretical max.

I think something is wrong because too much of what you're saying you're seeing doesn't make sense.

Could be you're bumping up against current/heat limits of the pod's main regulator.

The only things we've heard from anyone worth actually trusting is, some of these miners exist and they have ASICBoost.

It's possible the implementation kinda sucks, so the ~20% gain from ASICBoost is what makes these viable. It took about a year before anyone else had a chip competitive with the S9, so we already know doing so is not trivial.

I'm not saying it's not possible they're unloading someone else's gear in a well-funded scam, but I think, given -ck's testimony, there's no real debate that some form of ASICBoost is implemented.

Maybe he's hoping they'll realize the best way to shut him up is to prove him wrong.

You were missing a dependency while compiling, I think curses but I could be wrong. Make sure you have all the dependency packages per the first post instructions and re-compile.

You've always just run the .exe, with your parameters. Or create your own .bat file, with your parameters. Downloading someone else's pre-created startup file has never been a requirement.

Was Bitmain's version a license of Timo's patent, or a clever workaround, or just stealing?

Right right, because patenting and licensing improvements is definitely supporting a thing. How irate was the crypto world with AsicBoost first showed up as a patented licensed improvement? How is this different, that we're happy about it?

Not without a heck of a lot of work.

What .bat file? .bat file for what?

We made something like 3700 Compacs, I think. Have to check the serial numbers file for an actual count but I remember doing three batches of 1000 and I think a 750 batch. Bitshopper also made 800 in Germany by licensing the design.

We've exceeded 14,500 regular 2Pacs passed testing (including seconds), and something like 2200 Bitshopper sticks, so it's in the neighborhood of 17K 2Pacs all told. That's just the ones that made it through testing; I have stacks of a few hundred (not a high percentage, but even 3% of 17K is 500) that couldn't pass Seconds testing and are awaiting brain surgery, so a lot more have been assembled than have actually been shipped.

And more to be made. We started on a Bitshopper restock this morning, and will start a fresh batch of green sticks end of next week, so that's at least 3000 more; we should break 20K with this guy, which is frankly quite exciting.

Ah, okay, so it's one of those. I had something like nine units in the warranty stack and two of them, try as I might I couldn't get them to fail.

Send it back, I'll ship you a new one post-haste and then I can take my time torturing that one out of its current Schrodingerian state and into something solidly dead or alive.

I bet nobody's speaking up because there's references in the first post.

Check the note on it that tells you exactly how long I ran it during testing, after fixing the problem, with zero further issues.

I'm about ready to dynamite the whole Terminus project. I just spent an entire day fixing problems with boards that passed my initial bench test but then failed a burn-in test. I isolated the flaws, repaired them, then they passed another bench test. And freaking half of them failed the burn-in again. Literally, half. Well, 47% but only because I tested an odd number.

I don't know if the chips are garbage, or the assembly process is flawed, or what. I don't want to doubt the assembly process because it's the same process I've used to make 17,000 2Pacs with pretty fair reliability.

I glanced over the hashboard photo and immediately looked at an S9 board. Conceptually similar, even the same number of chips, but not the same. At least with the one I have as a reference.

Link to that thread perhaps?

Any black stick with a BSD serial is a proper stock stick sent to bitshopper.de for resale. The green stick, serial 22394, is not a seconds stick but I don't know how you ended up with it in UK unless you bought it second-hand. Either that or I have a reseller breaking the rules.

Let me ask again, who did you buy them from?

Pounds? How did you get a green stick in Europe? Who did you buy them from?

The "official" place to buy anything GekkoScience, basically, is from me. Unless you're in Europe in which case you talk to bitshopper.de (MacEntyre on this forum)

What are the device serial numbers you see in cgminer (GSD 1000xxxx)?

Are those seconds sticks, the ones sold at a discount because they're pretty much guaranteed to be not as good?
