Quick, post it for sale in the hardware section w/ screenshots of the GUI!   Grin
Grin
No matter what, it has always been a fast one, even down clocked 606 from the stock 650 the batch-1's were sold at Kano has always reported it as >13.6 THs, even now after the reboots Kano still says 13.2  so can't complain at all  Cool

Side note to the fun. Decided to get Bitmain's latest s9 650 sec patch.
Though it bricked it.......
Could not reach the miner at all. Looked at it, all lights merrily blinking away.
 Huh
On a random thought, decided to check my routers connected devices.
The security patch kept the Host name but made DHCP assign a new connection... rolf.
Got a glass of wine, hit my MM, pointed Awesome Miner and my FF link at the new addy. All is well.

Aside from chain-4 still reporting >17THs and very high HW errors that is  Undecided
edit: now 10 min after a soft boot to check something, >28THs for the board.
edit of edit: 20 min in, RT says >29THs for the board, Kano pegs miner average at it's usual >13.pointsomething so....
Guess keep on running until Majik Smoke escapes Wink

You probably have a few rogue dust bunnies in there. Smiley
As a side note -- and I seriously doubt this has anything to do with it but -- this is the miner I gave fubly's crack a run on and had to eventually reflash with Bitmains first s9 update to get running.
How can you be sure?
Can't be 100%.
But - considering the reflash wiped and over wrote everything including the Beagle Bone's flash memory, along with it running perfectly for >48hrs after I did the reflash, highly unlikely but still to be noted.

Just tried lowering to 550MHz, same thing. Now back up to 600MHz to just let it run.

<snip>
for one it cost that wow

i also wonder how much they skim off shipping for there self most shipping is not that much, I know what they charge us to ship,I know they have to declare what they post to keep it legal , but how much is the real cost .whats there shipping discount we don't see and they don't pass on to us.
<snip>
Knowing the call, it, 'abbreviated', translations that Bitmain uses, let's call it more like shipping and handling.

Just like Infomercial products, the S&H is where good money is to be made. Most of the backers of companies you see on-TV own the distribution end of the business and get all the "& Handling" part of +S&H right off of the top.

Just did a hard power cycle. After 5 min running, chain-4 is still insane....

5006  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 43THs RT s9??? WTF... on: September 12, 2016, 11:20:32 PM
That's the odd thing. Just like the avg speed is normal, Kano reported normal speed as well. Still rebuilding reported speed from the soft boot but seriously doubt that is 'real' paid speed. Damn I WISH...

Reject/stales/discards all low.
Still going on. Bitmain GUI shows 37THs with card 3 being more than 28 of it.
again, WTF???

Gonna let it ride for a bit before doing a hard boot.
5007  Bitcoin / Hardware / 43THs RT s9??? WTF... on: September 12, 2016, 11:11:15 PM

After a soft boot STILL card 3!

5008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners on: September 12, 2016, 10:38:59 PM
So far I am loving this latest dev build. Now having Privileged Access that sticks through hard boot to the few errant s7's I have and all my s9's is marvelous. Cheesy

On custom reporting of chip temps, folks should know Bitmine changed the API tags used for boards 2 and 3. Well technically, they moved the control cable ports and that changes the tags used. They changed it sometime after Batch-5. Anywho I now use
Code:
"Chip: " + stats.ChipTemp1 + " / " + stats.ChipTemp2 + " / " + stats.ChipTemp3 + " /  " + stats.ChipTemp4 + " °C"

Works for all s9 batches, the '0' displayed from unused channel just moves from spot-2 to spot-4 depending on batch/where the miner control cable is plugged into.

Request: Any way to make the performance graph record at least 12, preferably 24hrs? And be able to export the data as csv?
I ask because I am seeing weird behavior on a couple s7's and want to track when/how often.
Cheers!

5010  Economy / Services / Re: Bounty for Cracking Bitmain S9 BMminer on: September 09, 2016, 06:18:44 PM
anyone tried this yet?
I will be trying it tonight after work. I have 2 s9's at home, a batch-1 and a batch-3. Of course the 1st step will be to generate an archive file of their current configurations. Ya know, as a just in case...  Wink

The b1 will be the victim. Currently slightly under clocked @ 612MHz I believe maybe 606. Stock speed supposed to be 650 but chip temps too high there. If things look good sometime over the weekend the b3 will follow.

Is it ok if we start a new thread about cgminer 4.9.2 for Antminer S9. I think we all wrote here a lot of BS and as fast I can forgot this as better?

    Download this: https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/update-script/AntminerS9-Update-Bmminer.tar
    Open your miners frontpage http://antminer
    Click on System
    Click on Upgrade
    Goto the menu / line "Restore backup:"
    Select the file "AntminerS9-Update-Bmminer.tar"
    Click on the button "upload Archive"
    Wait 25 seconds

TODO: some little fixing at the api
Thank you very much, this should make things painless  Smiley

Und ja, I think it is time for you to make a new thread on this to give your work here a fresh start. Wink
Tip: for your new thread, immediately add 1 or 2 replies to it with just the text:  <reserved>

By just editing those later you can add any important update info right at the top of the thread.

Gorgeous no?





and finally, with flash on

Now THAT's miner porn Cheesy
5012  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: S5 wireless on: September 09, 2016, 01:06:11 AM
Per miner, their connection speed is T10/100 by default stepping down as needed. Most (older) routers are what around 53Mbps? Newer ones are much faster.

But - data speed from a miner is just short bursts of actually pretty slow data. The s1/s2 using OpenWRT had a nice diagnostics package to show data rates. For the s2 it pegged at around 1mbps pk and averaged around 125kbps as I recall.

Should be a piece of cake for even old routers. UNLESS you have folks in your house streaming videos/gaming over the WiFi as well. Or a lot of miners. Gonna be problems there...

Ya got me looking for some scrapes of the throughput and found miner porn... part of the mod'd s1 farm I had at home way back then...

5013  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining bitcoin with GTX 960M is ok or not, help me plz on: September 09, 2016, 12:54:22 AM
GPU mining has ended few decades ago.
BTC Genesis block: January 3rd, 2009

Dramatic much?
Plus eth and other coins like it are quite popular right now.... All on GPU rigs.

Also as posted earlier, any chip be it CPU or GPU with a prominent 'M' as part of it number is typically for mobile or low power applications. Of course fully capable of hitting full speed but not intended to do that 24x7x365 and their cooling methods reflect that.
5014  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: middle hashboard not working on my S9 after 20 days on: September 09, 2016, 12:45:35 AM
Did anyone have more vanishing boards ? I have about 30 vanished boards in my S9's. I tried the sollution Phil gave but unfortunatelly it doesnt help. I check the power consumption and all of the miners are drawing 100 % of the power, as well the led on the boards seems to be ok. Do you have any sollution ?

Thank you
Vanishing from where?
Your selected pool throughput?
Do all the boards show up in Bitmains GUI when the pools shows a boards worth of speed missing?
Do any of your failover pools pickup the hashing? (possibly a variant of balanced pools being activated maybe?)

If the GUI shows a board missing then something in hardware.
BTW -- clear the browser cache and cookies before looking a a miner when this happens. Reason: I've seen the status page not really refresh at times, on the s7's usually around 30-50 days of running 24x7. Shortly after that the miner gets weird with hard boot as the fix for another month or so.

If the board IS showing up - check your routers logs and filter by the miners IP. ALL traffic to/from them should be only pointed at your pools!

now i get no lower than 0.0023%
Ja that is more than you were originally seeing and is puzzlement why, but -- still perfectly acceptable and I'd say is fine. My s9's range from 0.0002% up to around 0.003% after a few days/weeks of running. 3 of them are running stock speed, 4 are slightly under clocked to keep chip temps below 100C.

Start pushing 0.005 and then I'd start poking around.
5016  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Bitman Antminer S9 Water Cooling on: September 07, 2016, 03:29:41 PM
was just about to ask if it is similar as novec, also was hoping it would be cheaper, it is isnt it? oh well maybe it still is different as italianMiner72 says
Definitely operates differently than Novec. Novec is a 2-phase system with most effective heat transfer happening when it boils, other fluids are just absorbing the heat to be pumped/removed elsewhere.

 Far from cheap but it is still far cheaper than Novec. I am getting quotes from Clearco for a couple different fluids, The ST-50 oil is ~$30USD/gallon when purchased in 55gal drums.

Query: Looking at https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/build.md I take it we have to SSH into a miner and do the instructions on the command line.

Once 1 of the .tar files is made for a miner, can that be copied/backed up to a PC and then used with Bitmains GUI page to directly flash our other miners as an update??
5018  Economy / Services / Re: Bounty for Cracking Bitmain S9 BMminer on: September 07, 2016, 02:20:07 PM
From a Dr. of CompSci in my Skype room (yes the once infamous AMT room is still alive!) regarding GPL violations and sale of programs:
  1) Yes Fubly should have released his driver code work for the s7.

  2) Since most of the s9 code he is doing is based on s7 work (even Kano said that) AND SINCE THIS s9 CODE IS PUBLISHED, then point-1 is now moot.

  3) As to sale of what should be considered code for an add-on: Even with CGminer being open-source one CAN sell modified packages containing it and closed source code. Just fulfill the requirements of pointing to/providing the source(s) for the Open Source parts.

  4) Point-3 applies ONLY if code such as ASICboost is not put into CGminer as part of it but rather is a helper add-on. Something  that intercepts header information/manipulates it and then passes the block information to CGminer. In other words, only if the boost is pretty much stand-alone code and that is what is being bought.

  5) The only formatting fault that stands out in Fubly's git is that the 1st commit should have been a clean copy of 4.9.2 with all the other code commits after that to provide a clear deviation reference point for Fubly's code changes.
5019  Economy / Services / Re: Bounty for Cracking Bitmain S9 BMminer on: September 07, 2016, 12:58:55 PM
I think it has to do with this program also:

https://github.com/bitmaintech/minerlink_agent

  • Receive commands from server and response miner state.
MinerLink - That's it! http://www.minerlink.com/
Looks like all s7's from batch 1 on up to my last (batch-18) has setup for it as part of the Bitmain GUI under Miner Configuration as a 3rd choice next to Advanced
5020  Economy / Services / Re: Bounty for Cracking Bitmain S9 BMminer on: September 07, 2016, 01:00:56 AM
Are you wondering if I told you that bitmain can control every miner?

If you want also to block them, just use the new version which is published right now.

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/build.md

I unset the function now.

If you wand deeper details take a look to the driver now!

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/driver-btm-c5.c
and
https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/driver-btm-c5.h
I wonder if that has to do with Bitmain's "Control your miner via the Cloud" service that they used to link to on their site. Just looked and do not see it anymore offhand. The s9 does not have a GUI setting for it, I'll check some s7's at work manyana.

Think the S5 and s7 even have something in the GUI about setting access to that service.
AFAIK Bitmain never activated it. While definitely think it would be BAD idea to give Bitmain or subsidiary that access, I still tried a few times in the past to see what it was about.
