How are you entering the data, are you using copy/paste? If you are, make sure there is no space at the start or end of the line.
Very often when using c/p there is a whitespace added at the end of the line. Miners do no like that and will not accept it.

For poeple who claim that one of the main advantages of Bitcoin is its pseudo-anonymity some Bitcoiners do have a really weird fetish of wanting to know who is the guy owning this and that, when has he bought the coins, where is he sending the money, does he plan on selling or not, full name, shoe size,] and favorite pizza.

Seriously, stop with these, what's your business with what other poeple do? Zero! So stop it!...
Spot on!
The world has always been populated with far too many folks that just LOVE to endlessly speculate on just about anything no matter how pointless it is...

I tweak them with power On. Fuzzy, what's your specific reason for not doing that?
It's not a problem for folks who are careful and know what they are doing.

For the General Public however, things are so tiny and awkward to see/get at it is way too easy for them to slip and possibly short something. Much easier to power down, pull out the stick and put it under a microscope, tweak and then see what the results are.

The USB ammeter is not 'used for tuning the sticks'. It is used just to verify that you have good power and what the load is so you know if your powered hub can supply what is needed.

The adj pot freely spins around but has just the 1 track so yes it resets to zero every 360-deg. Do NOT adjust it with power on. Looking at the dial as a clock and with the flat edge as reference the flat should be between the 15 minute mark (default) and 30 minuted mark. Mine is about the 20 min mark and happily runs 575MHz.

The unlocking firmware is specific to each miner as it is coded with the miner serial# and other information. You have to get it through Inno.
Look through this thread and further up you will find what you need to contact Inno and how to retrieve the information they need from EACH miner so they can then send you the unlocking FW for each one of them.

just curious to know about all of these thread and answer it actually the Blockstream Satellite network broadcasts the Bitcoin blockchain around the world 24/7 for free, protecting against network interruptions and providing areas without reliable internet connections with the opportunity to use Bitcoin. Blockstream Satellite broadcasts the Bitcoin blockchain to the entire planet via satellite, reducing Bitcoin’s dependency on internet access. Everyone in the world now has an opportunity to use Bitcoin. Blockstream Satellite provides an alternative method for receiving the Bitcoin Blockstream Satellite ground stations, known as 'teleports,' participate in the Bitcoin network and transmit blocks to geosynchronous satellites.
If you must share information from another source, then at least try to include the reference link. Plagiarism is against the forum rules and if you get reported. You may earn your account a permanent ban

You copied this from https://blockstream.com/satellite.
To emphasize that point, further down on the page they say

Blockstream Satellite ground stations, known as 'teleports,' participate in the Bitcoin network and transmit blocks to geosynchronous satellites.
Satellite Geosynchronous satellites, orbiting at an altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi), receive the signal from the Blockstream Satellite teleports and broadcast it across a wide portion of the Earth.

Anyone in the coverage area with a small satellite antenna and an inexpensive USB receiver can receive these blocks and ensure that their node is always in sync.
Key point here is that to transmit to the network you need a link of some sort to one of those ground stations so your computer/miner/node/whatever can send data upstream. Like, er, you found a block or want to send some BTC to someone...

So either you purchase a ground station from them or use WAN, p-p microwave or LaserLink, local off-grid mesh network, Targeted WiFi, Packet Radio, Dial-up, etc to link to one.

TERRIBLE idea.
Mining of any sort is a gamble and certainly not to be relied on for an organizations income.
Even if the gear is donated, you still need somewhere to house the very loud and hot miners as well as access to very cheap power to feed them.

many of us use this usb stick power meter to determine power drow by the usb miner, with this indication directly display I think it is a good help to correctly configure USB hub and tweak 5V with screw to have for example 5,2V for overclock for example
What yo feed into the stick has nothing to do with overclocking...
The stick has its own Vcore regulator which is what the adj pot changes. Feeding the stick more voltage just puts more load on that regulator.

Hello Everyone!
Please keep your political opinions off this topic, as this is not something discussed here and there are other threads to express your thoughts regarding this matter.
<snip>

Please note that we are fully booked and we are not currently looking for clients in this thread.

A sign in that pic is written in Chinese, I doubt the owner is a Putin supporter, stop spreading FUD
So the sign is in Chinese - guess what -- most of the miners in there - and probably a lot of the workers as well - came from Chinese farms so it makes sense that the OP used some signage to make them feel at home. A different post by the OP states that this place IS in Russia.

Ahh they fucked it up bigly.
They could have sold a 45th machine that does 20 watts a th. (down clock)
listed it at 1500 usd and flooded the market.

Oh well.
instead another 3500 watt hog that is not quite as good as the s19xp
Perhaps. The bigger question is, will they sell bare chips to all comers and let others design for their target markets? Wink

Sidehack could do wonders with it...  Cheesy

According to reports, although President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is not against mining, miners must obtain licenses, pay electricity bills on decent terms, and pay taxes.
Out of pure curiosity, I've read those statements from some companies in the US, where the hell do I have to look for the amount of tax they've paid in a fiscal year? I have a feeling a lot of poeple will start asking the same questions, how much tax do those miners we fed cheap energy are actually paying back? I'm doing my papers as I will have to submit them next week and for the little guy who can't claim anything back damn, it's frustrating.

If it is a publicly traded company, just look at their Investors Information pages as they are required to publish taxes paid as part of their financials.

Would a Raspberry PI solve this data transfer problem ?
Damn straight it will. If you look back in this thread you find the results of me changing from W10 to a Raspi 3B -- immediate 10% increase in hash rate while running the same freq plus was able to run at a higher freq.

I don't know if the issue is how Windoze allocates resources to USB or if is related to the Zadig USB driver but it made a world of difference.

edit: A thought... I assume the 2nd hub is plugged into its own port on the PC right? (it should be)
If so, did you tell Zadig to use the 2nd USB connection? If you didn't, `Doze will not like it...
775  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Yet another 1246 down... on: February 25, 2022, 12:00:09 AM
What email did you use to contact them? I had an issue with my 1246 and I'm trying to get a new hashboard. No idea if it's under warranty still.
I used support@canaan.io

HOWEVER, they are forcing me to use my reseller; he is refusing to accept it. Saying China is restricting what is sent through customs, and now Canaan has stopped responding to me at all.
I take it you did not use one of their few Factory Authorized distributors such as Blokforge? If not then ja, you may be screwed regarding any official Canaan warranty support.

Just as Bitmain, Inno and btmicro do, ALL warranty work must go through the original purchaser or Company that ordered it from the manufacturer. For Factory Authorized distributors/resellers (who are listed on the manufacturer websites), no problem. For any other random reseller - BUYER BEWARE!
776  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Running s19 with one board removed on: February 22, 2022, 11:19:51 PM
Would love to find a way to control just a single s19 hashboard with my Apllo controller.
Are you talking about the controller from Futurebit Apollo controller?

I think each s19 hashboard can draw around 900w to 1100w and efficiency depends on how you overclock or underclock the unit. I don't know to those who make modified firmware how they succeed in modifying firmware with a high hash rate and efficiency.
Got a driver the the ASIC used in a s19? I doubt it...
There there is the issue of the Apollo miner code being closed source so even if you did write a driver for the chip ya still cannot edit the Apollo code to use it. Sad
777  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Running s19 with one board removed on: February 22, 2022, 11:12:02 PM
Running with missing one hashboard, is not good idea if you don't have very good ambient temp ... with only two, the pressure of fan is dropping, so, drop cooling efficiency ...

this reflection is available for ALL miners
Spot on and merit given for that. Just like any fluid, (yes, for flow modeling air is considered a fluid) air flows through the path of least resistance so putting a large gap in the system means most of the air is going to flow through the gap and that drastically reduces airflow over and through the heatsinks.

There is also an easy kludge to get around that problem: In place of the removed hash board, put a sheet of fireproof rigid fiberglass with the same dimensions as the board into where it was. That should re-balance the airflow over the heatsinks on the boards still in the miner.

I don't recommend this for safety purposes I suggest you better use only official and trusted monitoring tools.
Good afternoon.
I am the developer of this program. My name is Andrey Bobrov. If you have any questions, ask)))

All information about the program in the telegram channel @AvalonMinerViewer welcome
With all respect, Andrey
BitMaxz hit the nail on the head.
The program is only available in compiled versions and without other people being able to examine and vouch for your code you will have a VERY hard time convincing people here that is safe to use. This Forum is not like your usual other Social Media sites which are mostly populated by people that are absolutely clueless regarding cyber security. On those other sites even a crappy hacker can be like a wolf among the sheep -- they just have to be a good 'talker' and enough idiots to make it worth their time will gleefully install anything on their smartphone/tablet/computer.

Make it open source so reputable eyes can examine it along with you providing instructions for people to compile it for their choice of operating system and this would be a whole different discussion. Barring releasing the source code, do you at least have a track record of other programs that folks have used and reviewed?

Anyone successfully involved in crypto knows that is a digital FINANCIAL TOOL and that they *should* be very protective of their assets. As such most are very rightfully wary of any software placed on their digital devices or ANY device they connect to.

Good day. Today I will post the source code, and tomorrow my program will be compiled by someone ... I wrote the program for myself and I do not force anyone to use it !!!
Read logs in TXT or translate them into EXCEL )))
I am ready to provide the code for study only in the event that I am sure that it will not be stolen.

If you are not sure that the program can harm you, do not use it in any case !!!

Sincerely, Andrey.
That is certainly a good start.
Cheers!

Umm.. but as far as I've read,
BMZ1 and BMZ2 are confirmed as btc (sha-256) asics.
...
Being sha-256 chips does not lock them into being for BTC. Most of the logistics tracking blockchain applications I've seen from IBM are all using sha-256.

That said they can certainly be used for mining BTC but until specs are released we have no way of knowing how they compare to existing chips from Bitmain, Canaan, et al. So far all Intel is saying is that "they are 1000x more efficient than GPU's"
