I understand your concern, but we have been having these diff threads for over 3 years now, there are a dozen of posts in those topics in which we discuss altcoins in the same manner phill discussed them in this topic, and guess what? none of them got deleted.

In fact, frodcopper who was the most strict mod probably in the whole crypto space merited some of those posts which were talking about altcoins in respect to Bitcoin difficulty, things back then were going smooth and nobody had to fork the topic because they felt like they were harassed for brining up altcoins in the same way they used to, also there was nobody who was afraid to ask a bitcoin difficulty related question.

I know you are not trying to have control over things and that your intentions are good, but this topic will eventually slow and die if it continues this way, and personally, since I don't want to argue with anyone, I'll be posting a lot less frequently here, if ever.

Good luck.

Thanks for the efforts.

That's because you don't flash firmware using an SD, you flash recovery files that would wipe out hiveon and then you flash the firmware version you want, please go to this website https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Flashing%20SD%20card%20with%20image and download "t9+ -SD Tools.zip", unzip it into an Sdcard and make sure you change the jumper on the control board, all instructions can be found here https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019493654-S9-series-S9-S9i-S9j-S9-Hydro-Control-Board-Program-Recovery

Yes, it is your topic - you can do whatever you want, but rest assured many of us won't be participating in your topic if you censorship us based only on what you think is right, and we can always make our own topic to discuss bitcoin difficulty the way we see fit and let the admin decides what is off topic.

I wouldn't want to see this topic fork, i also wouldn't want to see phill's posts deleted for discussing how other coins profit impacts bitcoin hashrate because that is right on topic, but hey, do whatever makes you happy.

  

The average failure rate on the S9i should be a lot lower than that, but it's normal to be unfortunate and get a bad batch once in a while, the miner status shows temps are fine and fans aren't even above 50%, what is the relative humidity in the room they operate? if it isn't too high and since temps are good - I don't think there is anything you can do, you just need to accept your bad luck.

The kernel log structure looks so different to most kernel logs I have seen, it seems like it's some shitty custom firmware, can you try to flash 2018-2017 stock firmware and copy the kernel log from there?

You are late to the party, the difference was above 25% for some time and now it's almost even, thanks to smart-mining features on many major pools like Viabtc, they ensure that profit across all Sha256 based coins stays relatively even in the long run.

 


I believe the discussion was in respect to BTC difficulty which is affected by many factors, other Sha256 coins being more or less profitable to mine are one of those factors, we discuss rainy reason in china, chips shortage and many other things that affect bitcoin difficulty, talking about hashrate migrating from BTC to say BCH is neither different nor off-topic in my oppinion.

Most of it is accurate, the hashrate took a huge dive in the past 24 hours.



This will probably be over in a day or two, but it will have an impact on the current epoch which is great for the rest of the miners.


Phill that is one part of it, but the current hashrate of BCH is only 2EH, even if it doubles, it's still nothing compared to the massive hashrate we have on BTC.

Your miners submitted 78075 shares with hashes below the pool's difficulty and they were accepted as valid shares by the pool, but they were not good enough to hit a block, the only thing to take out from the status is that your miners did connect and are doing "okay". until and unless they hit a block, the number of shares accepted means exactly nothing.

If you are looking for another way to write on that digital signal controller or wherever the hex file resides then the short answer is NO, if it's not pickit3 then it has to be another similar tool, but your problem might be solved using another method, post your issue in a sperate thread and you might get some answers.

99% all 3 hash boards are dead, or your PSU is failing, it's possible the control board is causing this error but that has less than a 1% chance of being the case, try the other 2 hash boards separately, and then test with another PSU if you have one, if another PSU doesn't fix it (and it will probably won't) then your hash boards are dead, do you know the history of this miner?

Are you using Kaspersky? I get a similar message for almost everything crypto-related, even when I try to post a stratum pool URL, however, I never got that with Viabtc, anyway, I personally don't take these warnings very seriously as long as I know I only deal with trusted websites, but to be safe I keep my finds off the PC I use for my mining operations.

By applying a simple cumulative distribution function of blocks found between 60 and 120 mins intervals we get

exp(−60/10)−exp(−120/10) =  0.24%, by pure luck you mean great luck? .


So the last figures are:


I did anticipate a higher increase, but the only time I am happy when I am wrong is when I make such predictions, I wish to be wrong every time I think we are going to have a spike.

They did disable the Sdcard thing on the newest models according to some people, but the T9 is too old for them to care about, you can probably still Sdcard it even if the latest firmware is installed, make sure you use a small size tfcard.

It's more often than not that if your miner does reboot at default settings and does not reboot when underclocked - it's a bad PSU, the other reason would be one or more of your hashboards just can't stand the high frequency, however, the outcome of the latter is a bit different, the miner won't usually go to a standstill mode, but it would rather keep rebooting to do a chip recount on the bad hash board/boards.

The best way to troubleshoot this is by swapping the PSU and putting the miner on the default settings.

It's safe to assume that the majority of people in this industry are either scammers or simply are not honest, but as wndsnb mentioned, these hash boards are so fragile, you might fix it, it works for a while and then breaks again, I have a few gears that sometimes would work with 3 boards and then out of a sudden only 1 board shows up, if I wanted to I could simply sell it as a miner that works with 3 boards but then I would be another scammer, unfortunately, this is what many people do.

I always tell my friends and clients that a video showing the full hashrate of the miner is not enough proof, I see resellers taking a 1-minute video of a miner that has been turned on for no more than 10 minutes and claiming that the miner is fully functional, it's pathetic, to say the least as many, many issues will only show up after mining for a few hours or days.

On the other hand, your supplier could very well be honest, they might have fixed the hash board and then it just broke again, to them, you could just be lying about it, or you might have overclocked the hash board beyond the max because you think you will get a refund or something, and most importantly, they probably think they did their part and deserve to get paid, if they would refund every sale the will go broke, this business is very complicated, I honestly wouldn't be running one even if I had the tools and the skills needed.

The moral of the story here is to try to send your miners to repair centers that shipping to doesn't cost you a lot, you should always assume that you will have to ship it back to them multiple times, sending the gear overseas to fix it is a huge gamble which will more likely than not end up with a negative outcome.

The hardware route is a bit hard, you will need a set of tools and some skills, nothing that the average joe can do, but if you are interested have a look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WH7g61d90w&t , this is about the S9 model but the idea is the same for all of the Bitmain products.

Indeed, I am one of the club whales with a dozen of dead hash boards which I can't fix. 


If you are in the U.S then check this topic

Quarterly Pump.

The mining board is among the lowest-earning of merit.




The total earned merit per month is in a downtrend despite the increase in activity in the past couple of months.




Thank you.

انا لاا قيم في السعودية ولكن يمكنني الجزم بعدم وجود اي شخص يمكنها صيانة اجهزة التعدين لان هده الاجهزة تتطلب دورات تدريب خاصة وبعض المعدات الخاصة بصيانتها, يعني حتى وان كان الشخص متمكن في مجال الصيانة الالتكرونية فسيكون موضوع اجهزة التعدين عالم جديد بالنسبة له, طبعا احتمالية وجود شخص مهوس بهدا المجال وقد اخد دورات تدربية واشترى معدات الفخص تظل موجودة ولكنها ضئيلة جدا جدا في 90% من دول العالم ومنها اوروبا.

طبعا نحن نتكلم عن الصيانة الجوهرية لرقاقات الالواح, اما المشاكل البسيطة الاخرى فهي موضوع اخر, ربما تكون مشاكلك بسيطة لذلك انصحك بشرحها هنا ولعلي اتمكن من مساعدتك.

حاول ان تنسخ وتلصق ال Kernel log مع اخد صورة ل Status page وبعض الشرح عن المشكلة.
