What about maximum power settings?What do I have to change to for maximum hashrate?
^^ All covered in the Avalon Troubleshooting & repair thread.
2782  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon 8 official specs released on: June 07, 2018, 04:22:12 AM
Tried changing the wall wart feeding the RasPi? Make sure it is rated at 2.5A or more so it has capacity to feed all UAC's and their strings.
Also, this really should be in the Avalon Troubleshooting & Repair thread...

If I simply cut the blue wire, the fans should run at full RPM all the time, and since the miner will still receive the PWM signal from the fans, it will operate normally (won't assume fan failure and stop mining). Is this correct?
Maybe.
There are 2 control methods, one is no signal on Blue = full speed which in my book is the safest, the other is no signal = lowest speed. Looking up the fan specs should say which they are.

I've never played with the fans so just cut the blue on one fan and see what it does, you can always splice the wire back together if it slows down. Beyond that setting min fan speed to 100%  - should - force them to always run full speed.

As has been said elsewhere here in far too many threads, from the s7 on up all Antminers require fans that deliver high-static pressure and yes that means LOUD ones. CFM is only a small part of the airflow spec and normal 'high CFM' fans only deliver spec'd airflow against zero back-pressure. Put them on a s7/s9 etc and airflow drops like a stone very quickly leading to an overheated miner.

I know this is an old thread, but found it looking for info on the fans. Do you know how it works specifically for the S9? Which fan needs to be faster - the front or the rear one?

I noticed the different fan speeds, so I assume the reason is to create either negative or positive pressure inside the miner, I'm just not sure which one. Also not sure if they are controlling the fans separately to create the different RPMs or together, and let the different RPM ratings of the front and back fans take care of the pressure difference.

Any insight into this would be appreciated.
1st, Kudos for recycling your question into an existing thread! Keeps the relevant info easier to find.
As for front/rear speeds, even Bitmain can't seem to make up their mind. As a power systems designer, personally I'd put the faster fan on the intake side to provide higher pressure airflow in to overcome resistance from the turbulence all the little heat sinks make. What might change is the noise.

^^ and depending on the model and temps, s9 power draw can be as low as 1250W (s9 batch-1 uc to 550MHz producing 12.75THs)
2786  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitmain's Released Antminer S9, World's First 16nm Miner Ready to Order on: June 05, 2018, 10:33:37 PM
The s9 default is using DHCP so you will need to look at the router for the address. Once in you can then set it to a static address. Routers generally use either the first address (.1) or the last one .254, at home mine is .254 while at work it is .1

Ideally both the router and laptop should be on the same subnet.
2787  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Cryptouniverse - Official Canaan Distributor on: June 05, 2018, 10:27:40 PM
so actually twice the price of bitmain, roughly.

The 741 is more like a expensive doorstop... 8Th at 1150watts...  Cheesy
Depending on your power cost, not exactly a doorstop if you already have some or can buy reasonably cheap. They throttle down very nicely. Using -avalon7-voltage-level 12 combined with setting offset to -1 drops power to around 750-800W and still gives 6+TH. Also makes them a helluva lot quieter.

I have an upright freezer in the garage but I don't wanna cut it up as it's fulla food, but I think it WOULD work.
No, it won't for the same reason a refrigerator/cool does not work: Yes they all can get very cold but they do it by *slowly* removing the heat from inside the well insulated casing and what is stored inside. The food inside only has heat energy stored from when you put the food in and does not generate any additional heat.

In short, only air conditioning systems and fluid chillers are designed to continuously move large amounts of heat input - that is why they are so power hungry vs refrigerators/coolers/freezers.

That is better answered in the solo.ckpool.org thread. That direct link is spot on with your question.
2790  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: DragonMint T1 16TH/S halongmining.com on: June 04, 2018, 11:05:56 PM
Direct manipulation of the config files can cause hardware damage.

and having deeper-lying Sanity Check routines to set hard limits to config values too far out of bounds reduce the chance of it. Same risks apply to owners of Avalons and BM miners as well - very few reports of folks breaking them via changes done through ssh.
2791  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: DragonMint T1 16TH/S halongmining.com on: June 04, 2018, 10:51:39 PM
I wonder why they do this?

Given how Halong has behaved from day-1, to me it's on-par with how they run things. Totally expected.

Kudos for them actually getting product out the door that mostly/does work. Jeers for their support and openness.

@ mhyde71
A. Stick miners are only useful on a solo pool and viewed as a 'lottery ticket' or if en-mass maybe ckpool. Any other pool will reject you as being far too small.
B. The miner can mine only coins using the SHA256D algorithm. That rules out about 90% of the (alt)coins you listed.

Not everyone is a techie.
And that is the main problem. Folks are dealing with advanced high-power technical devices and if they are going to experiment then at least when it comes to supplying power and cooling for them they damn well better research the basic principals & guidelines behind what they are thinking of doing.

There are scads of sites dealing with wiring your home and giving tutorials on HVAC. Those are the first places I would check for info. Someone just saying 'it works' or 'doesn't work' does nothing to help a person understand the why behind the answers.

Getting back on-topic, I seem to be cursed to hover around 300THs... Was up to >309 then had 2x T9's go titsup in the main farm at work. Early last week I replaced them with 2x A841's. Now the internet at my GF's house is out again so her 2 A821's are offline until the 10th which is the soonest AT&T will be out to fix it putting me back to around 288-290THs  Sad

narf...

The *sigh* is because at least 3-4x a month here and in other threads someone comes up with the same 'idea' of using a cooler. Would they ever think of using a cooler as a room air conditioner by leaving its door(s) open? Unlikely. Why? Because of their low BTU ratings it loses its cool rather fast before cooling off the room and yet the same thought never enters their minds when it comes to cooling miners...

I'll give an 'A' for them considering the idea but folks need to think things through a lot more... Wink

Why not leave the cooling in it? I live in Phoenix and I'm looking for something like a big Floral/Beer cooler to mount mining rigs in. Wintertime just shut it off.
Sigh...
For the umpteenth time: Folks, coolers for food/flowers/beer, whatnot are NOT designed to remove significant amounts of heat continuously! They can only move a little bit more heat than what leaks in through the insulation and whatever heat comes in with the food.

For reference, 1kw of power = 3415.179BTU/HR of heat to be moved. That is the numbers you need to look at for air-conditioning loads.

I moved to kano pool nearly a month ago from slush (and liking it so far) still figuring my way around, is there an API call that can get you the list of your rewards, thanks in advance
If you mean to export the Rewards data, just go to your Rewards page and select/copy the data. Then, open a new spreadsheet 10 columns wide x how many rows of data you selected and paste in the data. Not as quick as the page having an export to csv ot tsv function but still very simple to do.
2797  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 17.2TH/s, 1570W Innosilicon announces the most powerful and efficient BTC Miner on: June 01, 2018, 03:10:31 AM
Cgminer is free software. They're allowed to use it provided they make public any modifications they make to the software themselves, if they release hardware containing such software to the public.

I suspect any claim that Luke-Jr is helping Innosilicon is just as likely as the claim that's going around that I'm helping Innosilicon.

The only ref I have to Luke being involved is jstefanop's post on p1:

yea...was talking with Gordon at Consensus this week and he was saying all their driver work is done by luke.

If -ck says that he is not co-operating with Inno,
does that mean that Inno is using his software without permission?
Unlikely. A while back someone said that it is Luke-Jr (the 'other' mining sw and pool operator guru, author of BFGminer, OP of Slush) who is doing T2 work for Inno.
I thought he was involved in Elgius not Slush?
Not sure but Slush is what stuck in my head at the time.

Hi
I have a dead Myrig PSU with 1 week from de purchase, it doesn't power anymore
Replaced with a bitmain psu and my T1 is working OK
Myrig PSUs have warranty?
Of course it has a warranty. Um, perhaps check the MyRig site or email them support@myrig.com to file a support ticket? Wink
Also, MyRig has an official support thread here you might want to use.
