621  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (20/11 update available!) on: November 21, 2017, 01:16:42 PM
Regarding sub-X11 algo mining, I also quickly read through the code and my feeling is that the controler board sends an X11 work package to the ASIC boards and the ASIC boards return the final X11-Hash to the main controller board. I guess there is no way to trigger single algo mining out of the linux controller board, even if someone tweeks the miner software.
BUT... (I haven't investigated that yet) it seems that each ASIC board has a PIC µC on it, which would handle communication between main Linux controler board and the ASIC chips. So if there is one place where it may be possible to trigger single algo mining, it would be inside the PIC.

What do you guys think about this?

That's exactly how it works now indeed. The PIC is in between the controller board and the ASIC's so let's hope bitmain added some secret switch. I looked into it quite some hours now and didn't succeed yet. But I still have hope there is a command to trigger it, but some inside information from Bitmain would make things a bit more simple...

I think that we need all the experience and knowledge of all member of this forum.....

I think we need work on reverse engineering of this PIC ... anyone can read and post content of the PIC?

sorry for the issue in the first upload, this should solve the issues. Thanks for the fast reaction time

Everybody that already "work" on the first uploaded 20/11 version, please upgrade again, as you won't be able to adjust the pools / fan speeds

working nice now Smiley

thanks for the confirm and thanks for the super duper cool logo man! Cheesy

Mr. blissz now only a test for one subalgo of x11 ... and we are the winner ;-)

where is the "command" for select algo for mining start or where we can change the algo round for select another of 11 round set?

but when i change Asic Freq and return on webpage i can see last Freq i have imposted... but Asic Voltage i see "Default Setting"... and i can't see the value imposted.. why?

UPDATE 12/11/2017: I successfully modded the firmware which will add unlocked voltage and fan control, so I advice NOT to hardware mod and wait a bit more till I release the software mod
Can you advice, pls, how to build cgminer and custom firmware with it?
I mean build without modification bitmain's sources, for testing purpose.

I think use https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer-dash for build cgminer
And https://github.com/bitmaintech/setup-A8 for build firmware
Is this right way?

I think this right way ...
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 firmware modification thread (voltage & fan mods) on: November 14, 2017, 07:38:19 PM
we are talking about possibility to adding more algos for D3 with this topic  , not only fan mod , right ?


If think we should start from the beginning...

fan mod...voltage mode so increase efficiency... then if it's possible add algo but not sure about this point


and we are Ok to say X11 it a chain of 11 algo.... (blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo.)

so that mean the asics 'know' how to do some groestl algo...

infact good poin ... we need know how change command (possibly via ssh) send a command to cgminer on d3 to change algo and try if mining work... anyone can help in this?



We need more than this..in SSH you can restart cgminer with other parameters
Aka : fan..or voltage (i have the parameters and a possible value for this)

But in term of algo..i think we need to recompile cgminer from source (changing stuff to have only groestl for example)
So it will require more investigation but I will continue on this

please public this parameters do you have...

I think the algo for mining is on PIC16F1704 not in firmware file ... anyone can read and post file of PIC16F1704 ? I think we need work on this ..

where you download it?

From the offiical website, it just went live:

Non entro nel merito del perche e del percome , discorso lungo da fare.
Ma vorrei ricordare a tutti che i pezzi grossi  in questo mercato sono ancora fuori, probabilmente visto che  da poco e' entrato il contratto future nei mercati finanziari vedremo  i veri pezzi grossi (istituzionali e banche d'affari), ma attualmente  i pezzi grossi siamo noi della comunita di bitcoin, il prezzo al momento lo facciamo noi che acquistiamo  o vendiamo i bitcoin ( e cosi anche per le  altre crypto).
Qua c'e' una vera battaglia fra BTC e BTH  che non si sa a cosa portera' potrebbe succedere che BTH prenda il posto di BTC potrebbe succedere che BTC faccia il famoso  hard fork annullato e  diventi un altra moneta .
La cosa importante e'  informarsi il piu possibile , piu informazioni si hanno piu  si sa cosa succede e perche succede.
Ovviamente e' una personale opinione non il dogma

ettore concordo con te.... ci sta da attendere anche l'aggiustamento della difficontà di entrambe .. potrebbe variare lo scenario... non capisco perchè questa pressione di acquisto su bch .. ha solo il blocco da 8 mb non è ke poi kissà quanto sia piu innovativa... di meglio a questo punto ci stà bitcoin gold o bitcore... bhaa staremo a vedere
636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer D3 hardware modifications thread (voltage & fan mods) on: November 12, 2017, 03:06:01 PM
I have some great news guys!  Cool

I successfully modified the following:

- unlocked ASIC voltage from software. You can now increase or decrease the ASIC voltage from software Cheesy
 This can save a lot of power / heat and noise. i.e. I run my D3 at 15Gh/s at below 700 watts instead of 19Gh/s @ 1200watts. On the other hand you can also decide to overclock your unit if your PSU can handle it with this unlocked vcore.
- removed fast FAN startup. (very annoying for users that run this miner at home)
- unlocked full fan control. No more minimum fan checks. It removed the low fan warnings as well.

I need to mod the webinterface as well and do some testing so it will take roughly one more week before I will release the first firmware version I guess
This first version is mainly aimed at home users to get a better power usage / hashrate balance and run it as silent as possible
 
before you ask: Adding new algorithms will be on the list for future versions

other feature requests are welcome of course

This is fantastic. Does this mean now that you don’t need to do  the soldering etc...?

exactly: it will be enabled by flashing the firmware and I will add the options to the existing web interface

perfect friend, ;-) congratulation ... if you need a beta tester i'm here  Cool

 Wink Wink

Confermo davvero un ottimo articolo, spiega molto oggettivamente la situazione reale, e fa chiaramente capire quanto incida la quota di ignoranza o meglio poca conoscenza di chi affolla il mondo delle crypto e sfruttando questo i grandi investitori riescono a muovere le masse affinché dei prezzi scendano per far sì che loro possano comprare in low ... ottima lettura direi, sopratutto per far capire a quelli che stanno comprando bch che il prossimo softfork non gli regalerà le solite monetine.. e sopratutto credo che a mio avviso il vero bitcoin è solo uno il BTC .. il resto anche se dei fork con nomi similari sono dei rami ma in realtà sono delle altcoin ...  Roll Eyes

Hi Guys,

There seems to be a new firmware for the D3
With the description:
1. fix the issue: some miner's chip status is 'x' after running for several hours or days.

https://s3.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn/shop-bitmain/download/Antminer-D3-201711022227-0M.tar.gz

I'll Test it when I can.

we can confirm that this is now running well so far.

Do try it out.

i have tested new firmare but i have some hw error on my september bach ...
