Short update here:-

1. DragonMint's have version-rolling AsicBoost support (reference).
2. Shipping will begin around March 15 - 22, but there's a lot to ship so please be patient.
3. Shipped version number will be T1, not 16T due to some mixup with Russian import documents that cannot be changed in time.
4. This picture is legit and the final version that will ship https://twitter.com/MyRig_com/status/971205544533835776
5. Phillip will get a demo machine once the shipping starts. But the reason for the secrecy was AsicBoost capability could be revealed before the patent holder opened the patent. This is unfortunate, we would have preferred more openness, but it is what it is, patents suck, but in this case, the patent can help protect the Bitcoin ecosystem. Now we're so close to shipping, we'll just give a demo machine to phillip once we ship.

Phil - have you tried S9s at Slush lately?

Not sure what cards you are using, core and power settings vary between AMD and Nvidia, but for memclock you would definitely put:

globalmem 2000

Though I've found that varies too, for my cards it seems to be more effective to use full values for AMD and + or - for Nvidia, so if your base memory clock is, say, 1600, you would put:

globalmem +400

You can also break it down card to card, which is what the sample format shows, but I only do that if I have cards with different memory types in the rig, the variation isn't worth the trial and error for me (ymmv).

As far as power limiting goes, though, I can't give you specifics but for AMD you would play more with the core/globalcore setting, for Nvidia the globalpowertune. For ethash (Ethereum and similar coins), I have my 1060s (Nvidia) set like this:

globalmem +450                                                                                                                                          
globalpowertune 75

Which, on my Samsung memory cards, gives me about 22mh/s and 75W power draw.

For my 580s (AMD), my settings are:

globalcore 1200                                                                                                                                        
globalmem 2200                                                                                                                                          
globalpowertune 2

Which gives me about 28mh/s and rough estimate of 115W per card (harder to figure out because the dashboard only reports voltage for AMD).

These settings will MOST LIKELY NOT be optimal for your cards, but they are a place to start if you need one (though I suggest starting lower for memory, higher for power settings and doing some testing). Subsequently you can figure out your card's optimal settings using tools in windows and then use them as a starting point, and back off a little if there is any instability. Good luck!

EDIT: Also note that you will want to play with these settings if you switch algos, as each algo demands are different.

I suspect the Ethernet port above the USB thumb drive is the IPMI port.  That's for management.  Try one of the other 2 ports next to the VGA connector.

Delivered!

You can pretty easily tell that bitmain cares not at all about halong mining being a competitor. I mean just look at how they mocked Halong with https://tulipmining.com/

Bitmain is over there doing 2 billion USD a year in miner sales. They have no competition when it comes to larger customers. I mean if you have the money and rep, you can call bitmain and have 6000 s9s delivered before Halong even finishes shipping singles to people, and at a WAY better price.

I have a few for sale already sold many here

Pm me

Does anyone here maybe have some info about new nvidia cards like price or characteristics or are we still in the dark about them? Also cant belive that i missed seventh thread and saw it just now

Prompt the most profitable and permanent coin market which can be obtained by 11 cards 1050 TI.

I got 4 $100 coupons.  It seems that I'm only able to apply 1 per L3.  Is that right?  Still, $1,296 isn't bad per L3!

He's using the Nicehash miner. He's got a 6x1080 rig indeed.
I am not sure which miner NH is using for equihash and lyra2v2 but I'm assuming ccminer and/or ewbf. Intensity could be something to look at indeed. The crash behaviour basically points at something non clock-related (as I've set his overclock very conservatively) since the error happens on all cards simultaneously. So intensity could be key.

I set him up on NH because I thought it'd be the easiest setup for the noob he is! But I wasn't expecting the NH miner to be so unreliable out of the box. It's annoying to say the least.
