Oh look, problem solved  , so you pay 8k for a water heater that only mines when you are taking a shower or washing the dishes? this product is stupid at best, of course, assuming it isn't a scam altogether which is more likely.

If your new fans can do 5k RPMs then just plug them in and the miner will be happy, not sure what do you want to "disable" the fans all together unless you were trying to liquid cool them, in that case you will need fan simulator found cheap on Amazon.

If you just want to lower the fan speed and put a static/fixed RPMs, I wrote a topic on how to do it, it's easy and straight forward.

There is no known and trusted custom firmware for the S9k, but thierry4wd unlocked the stock firmware, if you have the programming skills needed, you could probably disable the fan-check function.

Here the repair manual for S17 > https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=170
and this is for the T17 > https://www.zeusbtc.com/NewsDetails.asp?ID=187

If you need other manuals for other models just search within the same website, also for more information on how to fix them and what tools you need, I sugest you read this topc


The chip temp sensor is a part of the chip, but the PCB sensors are 4 different once and they are located near the chips usually around the 4 corners of the hashboard, I have investigated this topic intensively here and I arrived at the conclusion that it's almost never about a bad temp sensor even if the kernel log tells you it is.

This implies that all 3 hashboards are dead, this really has nothing to do with the firmware or anything else, if 1 hash board is dead, it usually is, if more than 1 show dead then it could be the PSU, it's very unlikely and uncommon for anything else to be the problem.

This epoch seems a little bit different than the past five or six.


While I still believe we won't be able to double the difficulty by year-end, I also believe starting from this epoch or the next, the percentage will be slightly higher than what we saw throughout the year so far, the rainy season in China is about to start, I believe all sort of old dead worthless gears from 2019-2020 have been fixed and are ready to hit the blockchain.

I don't think we will have those crazy 10-20% spikes every 2 weeks as we did before, I think those days are over, but I also believe the negatives and the 0-1% days are over too.

Are you sure the Sdcard flash was done right? did you try to flash another working miner to confirm that both the files and the Sdcard function well? I remember someone mentioned that some viruses can corrupt the boot loader which is used to flash the firmware from the Sdcard to the DRAM, and so if that is the case, the control board is bricked for good.


No, it's not totally safe, you need to isolate this miner, use a different router / Vlan until you confirm the virus is gone completely.

Not sure about the robustness part, essentially all that these tools do is see where was the signal interrupted and point you to that chip, the other thing they do is they would keep feeding power to the hash board so you can measure it unlike how the firmware which you use to mine as it will stop feeding the hash board if it doesn't show all asics, in fact, there was a repair firmware for the S9 which you could flash into the control board and it would do exactly what these fixture tools do.

The Russian tool is faster and more user friendly, you can access it via the browser I believe so you can use your phone, and it has a nice GUI on it, unlike the other fixture tool which by the way, I believe it's the official bitmain fixture tool, zuesbtc is just a reseller.

So to sum up, these tools are only for basic diagnostics, don't expect much of them, and yes, I know people who used the Russian tool, wndsnb is one of them, he is professional in fixing hash boards and has a ton of knowledge regarding the subject, I believe by looking back at his post history you will probably learn everything you need.

I think your pool/worker details are missing or have leading/trailing spaces, can you paste a screenshot of the pool settings? or use these details for your pool 1

Make sure there are no spaces anywhere.

The only 'mining-related" tool you will need is the fixture tool, it's on aliexpress/Alibaba and Zeusbtc, the other option would be the Russain Asic repair, I believe this is the official website > https://tester.asic.repair/en, this tool is a lot more expensive but it's faster in diagnosing, although the two probably lead to the same results.

As for the other tools, you can get them locally, if you don't know what tools you need - check this post.

1- Don't make a separate post for everything you have to post.
2- Just paste the image URL.
3- The kernel log is incomplete, copy ALL of it, and paste it using the code tag like this:

Yes, I believe 100k give or take is "doable" in this cycle.


The article is outdated, or perhaps the data falls out of context and loses a bit of its accuracy given the time it was written, I do follow on-chain data very closely and this is one interesting chart on look into bitcoin which I follow.



It's called the 1Y+ HODL Wave >  https://www.lookintobitcoin.com/charts/1-year-hodl-wave/

I believe the chart is self-explanatory so I won't explain what it does, but the time the analysis you posted were made was (June 18, 2020) the 1Y hodl was at a new ATH which is normal, the Hodl percentage is at its lowest when the market is at it's highest, so form 2018 all the way to when it was published, yes, it seems like people were hodling strong, but you can see that starting from Nov 2020 the hodl value started to drop in a 45-degree angle, which is exactly what happed back in June 2017 and  March 2013 ( a few months before the end of the bull phase of 2013 and 2017).

Here is another on-chain metric called the RHODL ratio.



In this cycle, just like every other cycle, people will take profit, and the price will fall, I learned the hard way that "this time is NOT different", it never is, markets grow larger, they move faster/slower, the improve, they fail, in short, 'they change' but the human psychology never changes, and it's what drives the economy, am I certain that we will dip a 70-80% from the ATH we make? I am not, do I think this time is any different from 2013 / 2017t? I sure don't.

Going back to the Bitmain story, I am pretty sure the guys at Bitmain understand the implications of market cycles, they know very well that all the clients who are now willing to kill for mining gears will not want to buy them when the bull phase becomes history, which means, even if they managed to buy all the chips they wished for by the end of the year, they simply won't be buying them because they won't be able to sell them.

If you want answers you need to provide information, post the kernel log and some screenshots (status and pool setting page), a little background on the miner would help as well, my initial suspect would be wrong pool inputs since you mentioned nothing shows on the miner status, but it could be anything and without enough information, it's hard to troubleshoot.

The nearest which I know of would be either in Netherlands or Georgia, both locations are listed on Zeusbtc, please refer to this topic under "Europe", you should also keep in mind that:


Good luck.

No, they use different control boards.

If you confirmed that all 3 hash boards are fine but the miner will only work with two then the first thing to suspect would be the PSU, of course this assumes you cross-checked all the data/ribbon cables.

In this example, your chances are exactly the same, I have explained to the folks who do group rentals to solo mine that say 10ph for 24 hours has the exact same chances of 20ph for 12 hours and therefore, but well, this might not be as simple to understand as I think.


They won't.

I believe that most pools will modify extranonce1 and send a different template to each individual mining instance connected to the pool, the miner itself will need to modify extranonce2 only, so if you mine to a solo pool you shouldn't worry about the extra nonce at all if however you mine directly without a pool then your node will (at least should) pass a different template to each mining instance, in all cases I believe there is no need to use a different bitcoin address.

Please edit your post and use code tags when posting kernel/sys log, like so


It appears that the other hash boards you have are simply dead. Since you mentioned that you have another similar miner, try to swap the PSU and the control board, if nothing changes then dead hash boards confirmed, if they work, we can troubleshoot further.

لاحظت ان معظم الطلبات مبنية على تحويل "هرم" والذي يبدو لي كأنه اسم احد البنوك او الشركات المالية, وفي المقابل يوجد بعض الطلبات التي يكون فيها الدفع مقابلة شخصية, والغريب في الامر انه حتى في هدا النوع تطلبون من الزبون التواصل مع حسابكم وليس مع حساب البائع, ان كان البيع والشراء يتم بالدفع كاش في مقابلة وجه لوجه ماهو دور الوساطة هنا؟

ايضا ان كانت نيتكم فعلا هي نشر الكريبتو بين الناس وليس الكسب لماذا لاتقومو بفتح قروب بدل قناة بحيث يستطيع الجميع التواصل مباشرة وفي حال كان الشراء عبر تحويل بنكي يتم التواصل معكم بالخصوص, اما المقابلات الشخصية فليس لديكم اي دور تقدمونه لافادة الطرفين.؟

ارجو ان لا تفهم كلامي على انه اتهام لك او لفريقك بل هوا مجرد موضوع للنقاش.

The talent poaching drama is nothing new between China and Taiwan, given that China spends hundreds of billions of dollars to import chips from Taiwan and the fact that China already has plans related to semiconductor manufacturing, I am not surprised to see Bitmain get involved in this, but I doubt this will have a major impact on how things are or were prior to these findings.

I believe buying chips from TMSC isn't something you do daily, I mean it's not like Bitmain send someone one in a minivan to load up those chips and bring them back to Bitmain, so everything that has to do with 2021 at least has probably been finalized, TMSC has always put mining companies at the bottom of their interset list, not because they are from China but because their demand is far from stable, I am pretty sure that in 2018,2019 Bitmain were not really buying any chips of TMSC, and the latter probably knows that in 2022 Bitmain won't have the same demand it has in 2021, and since they can only make so many chips, they rather focus on their major clients who have more of a static and known demand.


I think by Q4 this year, the mania phase will be over, demand on gears will drop significantly, Bitmain will have just enough chips to sustain the low demand on gears in 2022.

This gear looks like a replica of Innosilicon T2Thm Miner, so I suggest you troubleshoot it as so since you won't really find any resources on a weird brand name like this one, I'd start by flashing the latest firmware from INNO > https://www.innosilicon.com/html/support_en/download.html.

They are beyond repair by the average person, you will need someone who has the skills as well as the tools to fix them, which isn't something you can easily find, where are you located? there might be a repair shop nearby, the worst-case scenario, you could just sell the hashboard as is to get back some of the money you spent.

As for the firmware, the hardware damage negates the need for testing a different firmware, the chip has fallen off and no firmware on earth will make it work, sorry.
