This has been my set-up for years and so far 0 problems, we did this even on a med-sized farm of 300KVA, but I sure won't recommend it if it's against the standards in someone else's coutry.


That makes sense, but many farms are not guarded 24/7, so there is always a chance that one miner will catch fire and it makes no difference if it's plugged this way or another, so I just have to make sure that no miner gets set on fire, also if something serious like this happens and I happen to be around I would simply disconnect the main breaker, the distance between the breaker and the socket "if there was any" is only a couple meters anyway.


Ya, I figured that much out, that's why I asked, thanks for letting me know.


HagssFin, how does this differ from the regular main 3/4 pole breaker like this one? https://breakeroutlet.com/circuit-breakers/abb-s5h-sace-s5-400-a-circuit-breaker/

Bitmain doesn't ship any power cords with their miners, unlike MicroBt, NFW, according to your experience how safe is it you use screw wire terminal/connectors?



These come with 30Amps ratings, I use them on 99% of my miners and never an issue, I find them a lot more robust than using the regular plug, he would need to take that socket out (while the MCB is disconnected) and then directly wire the power cord to the source wire, of course, this could be against the law/standards in his country, so he needs to confirm that, but here we can do anything because are cool   "kidding".

I don't know either, here is the guide on how to flash your miner using Sdcard > http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/TF-card-firmware-update-manual-en.pdf

But I couldn't find the files for you, their website is pretty useless, I think your best shot would be sending them a support ticket requesting the image file for your miner, make sure you send them the control board model and miner's SN, they should be able to provide you with the correct file, also there is a chance one of the members here have it, perhaps you should start a new topic "Inno T2T sdcard files needed" or something like that, the current title is pretty inaccurate.

Ok then go ahead and flash it with an sdcard, make sure you test the sdcard before flashing see if it can read/write files, also make sure you download the files that fit your miner's model, and whatever you do, do NOT power the miner off while flashing it.

Well, then that is bad news.

Your chances to recover this gear depend on the type of virus and how innosilicon handles the reset stuff, does the control board have a slot of an sd/tf card? if yes then you can probably find the files needed to flash the miner, or simply requested it from their support team, if it doesn't have an sd card slot then you will have to buy a new control board.

Again, I am not 100%, if it was an Antminer I would be confident because I have seen a truckload of those gears, but I have no idea about this T2T, I assume they use a similar firmware and the are subject to being hacked just like all other mining gears, and the first symptom of an infected miner is the inability to change the pool/worker and this is what I based my conclusion on.

I have never owned this gear, but based on your explanation this seems like an infected miner, did you just buy this miner from the second hand market in China or elsewhere from someone you don't trust?

I could be wrong, but you should isolate this miner from other miners until the problem is fixed (better safe than sorry), for now you should try to reset the miner, also if an Sdcard flash is possible it must be done.

You should have waited 30 seconds before copying the Kernel log, it' missing all the important details, after the last line it should show


and then a whole bunch of other details, so please post again, also none of the links you posted contain any images, please use imgur.com or imgbb.com to upload the pictures.

Well at least it was a fun experince and you learned something, I have mentioned a couple of times that these PSUs are not meant to be fixed, this is what I was told by someone that I trust and I was hopping that he was wrong, but what just happened was another proof that unless it's an obvious broken fan on the PSU it isn't worth fixing.

So now I would take the fans out and keep them for future replacement and get a new/used PSU. Don't wait for bitmain because that might take forever, post in the market place and check on ebay, also get in touch with phill he is based in the US and he probably has a source or two.

Thanks for keeping us updated, was really hopping that you would fix it.

Glad this worked on your T17e just like it did on favebook's S17e, the results so far are based on a short period of time, i would love to see overnight temps,hashrate and pool results.

But what does this have to do with their email getting hacked?

While it's wise not to reveal your email when not needed - revealing your Email address isn't a direct threat to its security.

Email addresses should be hidden for privacy rather than security, Email addresses are not meant to stay private or secretly buried in your back yard, they are a just like your public key in bitcoin, your duty is PROTECT the private key/ password.

Every day a few websites get hacked and hackers obtain all sort of email addresses from their databases, the chances that at least 1 hacker knows your Email address are pretty HIGH, so hiding them doesn't do much if they are not secured enough, honestly, with today's security's feature it's freaking hard to gain access to an Email address which is "mildly" secured if you use

1- A strong password
2- Multi-factor authentication
3- Different emails for different purposes

Also DO NOT

1- Use a similar email password to sing-up to any forum/website.
2- Don't use unkown email provider.

اعتقد ان اي شخص يقراء هدا المقال, سيكون اول سؤال يخطر له هوا ان كان بأمكانكم تحقيق مكسب 90% اسبوعي ونسبة خسارة تقارب 0% ماحاجتكم لاموال المستتمرين؟ حتى لو فرضنا نسبة الربح يوميا 5% يعني لو استتمرت مبلغ 1000$ سيكون 3322$ خلال 30 يوم! ولو كان مبلغ عشرة الاف سيكون الرصيد 33219$ في شهر, وحتى ان كانت الارباح اليومية 1% فانه في خلال 6 اشهر ستقوم بتحويل 10000$ الى 50,000 تقريبا.

اذا لماذا تحتاج لاموال اضافية؟

Binance's FPPS was 112.10% yesterday, which is pretty close to viabtc, you are 100% right phill, everyone should be mining to pools that pay the block fees, recently fees have been pretty high, on average over 10% of the block reward, so in other words if your pool isn't paying the fees you are simply losing $100 in every $1000 you make, that's a ton of money in the long run.


Timing is everything, I got my hands on some more S9s, the total cost for each was about $65 plugged and running (including every little expense) with the current difficulty and price I should ROI in just about 50 days, what I would do next is sell them and move to a slightly more efficient gears.

If in 2 months, we hit a high price of say 15-16k I should be able to sell these people for over a $100, if I get a $100 each that will be 153.85% profit in 2 months, which I would gladly accept.

If price turns south, I would simply let the gears mine on without having to worry, with that being said and despite the current prices and a potential bull-run, it isn't worth paying over $3000 for an S19pro like many people still do.

It's worth saying that the pool now charges 2.5% fees, and they moved from PPS to FPPS, but they didn't bother updating this in the forum, apparently just like most other pools they use the forum to get a kick-start and once they start making money they stop caring about the forum.

Which means they now operate in a less-risk environment and even by strictly following Meni's numbers they now require a lot less coins.

(6.25 *ln 1000) / (2*0.025) = 863 BTC to have a 0.1% chance going bankrupt, Meni's study is pretty accurate but very conservative, so as far as your debate with Kano I can't take sides because your approach is more of a real-life scnerio where it's very unlikely for a pool to not hit a block for 600 days while Kano's approach strictly counts on the reserve formula, now if I was to ever run a PPS pool I would certainly go by the book and apply Meni's math (which means I will never be able to run such a pool), but seeing pools like Sigma which most likely didn't have over 4000 coins when they started, it's a proof that the standards can be lowered, but as a miner I rather mine to a PPS pool which I know have a ton of reserves to reduce my risk.

A year and a half later, the pool has not gone bankrupt and they now have close to 700PH, I wonder what went wrong with Kano's math. 

This >




In plain English implies that the contorl board isn't sensing/seeing any asics on all 3 hash boards, now if it was only on a single chain I would say it's a taosted chain, but what are the chances of 3 hash boards going down at the same time? I would say slim to nothing which leads me to think that this has to be a POWER related issue.

- Your feeding the PSU with a higher/lower AC voltage that it can handle, so you need to tell us what is the voltage

or

- Your PSU has gone bad and needs replacement, but before you do that, give it a good dusting and set the miner on "low" settings, the results that come out of this troubleshooting will probably lead us to know what the problem actually is.

That is your own conclusion which as usual is based on ZERO facts, you are just mad because I pointed out to the fact that IF these custom firmware were not finding blocks, most if not ALL pools would ban them, but nobody except you does that, simply because you think you know better than every other pool operator/owner.

A pool like F2pool which has over 17E worth of power pays about 125BTC every single day, that is about 1.3 million dollars, if they weren't finding that many blocks they would have gone bankrupt LONG time ago, these pools take a huge risk by paying "upfront" out of their own pocket, and the fact they survived all these years suggests that:

1- They are NOT losing blocks due to bad resources/connecivity
2- The hashrate they pay for actually FINDS blocks as "expected".

Assuming even a tiny percentage of hashrate say 5% was coming from mining gears that don't find blocks, then these pools would have lost MILLIONS of dollars and that would have triggered the alarm and they would have done exactly what you did.

The above is a fact, unless you think all other pools except yours are running a charity, it's pretty clear that your assumptions of your pool being the best pool is as accurate as all of these custom firmware aren't finding blocks.

Agreed, this price range looks reasonable at least to the buyer side, we don't know how much work thierry4wd has put into this but we know there aren't many people who own these S17e/T17e gears, so chances are he isn't going to sell many copies, but it's a good start since he has been working on these firmware for years now and hasn't made a penny, this is a good chance for him to be evaluated and get enough reviews so that people will trust his work in the future.

I know your intentions are good and that you are trying to help the community, however pointing 115th to a solo block needs 20 years of 100% luck to hit a block, also what you are trying to fix is not broken, Kano bans aftermarket firmware because according to him "They violate cgminer license", it's only Bifa who is worried about the "blockless" issue and given that he mines to a small pool his concern is 100% valid.

Vnish has a proof of finding blocks, but Kano still doesn't allow it on his pool, if you somehow managed to hit a block and prove that theirry4wd's version finds blocks, Kano will still ask theirry4wd for the source code, theirry4wd will say he doesn't have it because bitmain didn't release it, it's a dead end until bitmain provide the source code, which probably isn't going to happen, so you are going to be burning over $300 a month for almost nothing.


Why would they want to do that? probably 99% of all miners with custom firmware mine on PPS pools or at least fairly large PPLNS pools where they don't seem to bother to check anything aside from their daily payment, also probably nobody except a few members around the forum take the "block finding ability" seriously, and the vast majority of miners don't even understand what does it mean to find a block, all they understand is that you point your gear to a mining pool and get paid accordingly, I don't understand on what bases do people expect that the average miner cares about finding a block when their mining gear is pointed to a PPS pool.!


I agree 100%, it should be pretty easy for slushpool to prove that, they have a ton of money and they could probably afford to even PAY enough miners to test their firmware and prove that their firmware does find blocks.

The question is why would they want to do that? who is asking them for it? a random person on the forum like myself, you or phill? if you send a support ticket requesting that it will probably be automatically deleted, if someone who owns a 1EH farm request it, they will probably prove it to them (assuming their firmware does find blocks).

Keep in mind that even Vnish's proof of finding blocks came from regular users, Vnish probably doesn't care if  anyone believes that his firmware finds a block, he knows that most people want to overclock/underclock their gears, mine to a large pool, get paid and that's pretty much it, as terrible as it sounds this is the sad ugy truth.


Miners are incentivized by profit, most miners would do anything to make the most money, if they get their hands on something that would help them "cheat" the system to make more profit even if that was to bring bitcoin security and decentralization down, they would still use it, proof is Bitmain didn't blink an eye before using the patented covert Asicboost.

Long story short, the pools that accept miners with custom firmware carry the most risk, it's pretty much their JOB to ensure that every share they pay for is capable of finding a block and given that almost no mining pool that pays PPS (the pools that are most effected by not finding blocks) havn't banned those people - suggests that everything seems to be working just fine.

With that being said, I DON'T advocate using a firmware that doesn't find blocks.

thierry4wd (according to him) simply "hacks" or modifies the original firmware, not sure if a pool can differentiate between his firmware and the original one, and if that is the case, I see no benefits coming out of this test, also the only pool that blocks custom firmware is Kano.is which is a drop in the ocean as far as mining pools are concerned.

I am also not buying this whole idea of known custom firmware not finding blocks, simply put all these large PPS pools count on the ability of the miners to find blocks, taking all the risk ALONE, i am pretty sure if a pool went on for long enough without hitting a block or their luck was far from 100% they would have suspected that some miners use a firmware that doesn't find a block and they have MORE interest to ban those than Kano since the latter doesn't pay miners out of his own pocket, so it's safe to assume that all the known and widely used firmware DO find blocks, we have seen proof that Vnish (probably the most used custom firmware) found blocks on the mainnet, I also remember hearing about Braiins.

Also there is no problem here so not sure what are you trying to fix, the only thing that needs fixing here is that person's behavior towards everybody else who doesn't agree to everything he says, fixing such a problem is 1- impossible 2- Adds no value to the mining community, so why would you risk over a 100 terahash worth of hash power only be treated like shit by him? but again, your miners - your call.
