how do you flash the firmware from batch1? lets say i have a batch1 how do i get the firmware there and how to transfer to 3rd batch?

these fpga miners are screwing all networks without asics with diff bombs

they said that they will release bitstreams so now people buy fpga and theyr not releasing because theyr exploiting stuff like this, im now going to asics its pointless to fight asics while we have people that toy with the network, they advocate anti asics because they mine with fpga and they dont want to lose the edge they have on gpu and the toying with the network hashrate

we should make a social media like fb into decentralized blockchain, them silencing jones is shitting on democracy, i dont share the same views as that guy but still its an attack on our freedom

its not just a huge amount of hashrate, what these fpga miners did to etn was when the diff became low they put in an enormous amount of hashrate and mine coins in very quick succession then when the diff adjusts which takes some time they leave the network thus leaving the real people running the network with hours just to get a block.  isnt this the same thing thats already happening to raven right now?

etn quickly decided to fork back to the original algo along with sumo because of these fpga miners that exploit this diff bombing, so for us believers that run  the network 24/7 is this fair? i still have gpus on raven while other rigs i have sold already just this weekend because of this diff exploit.  its not nicehash we all know that since nicehash on x16r dont have that and gpu are deadmuch hash compared to the fckng increase and dumps were getting and its not a coincidence that the new fpga were supposed to arrive before aug or on aug so the fpga are here gpu is dead but for me im going for asics and not these tard fpga monopoly

well its because its these fpga miners that are screwing raven network right now, look it up why etn and sumo went back to asics after the fork because what is happening to raven now happened to etn

this huge spikes in hash isnt from nicehash but from fpga miners exploiting the difficulty, and these fpga miner advocate anti asic while they screw gpu miners

adn to the guy who says fpga is better, lol how many people can run fpga, fpga has been mining on alot of gpu coins since last year, now they want to release an old bitstream with 4% dev fee on top of miner fee and pool fee, thats monopoly and all the while they advocate anti asic lol

im for asics since its plug n play, bitmain has a good amount of market share of the asic market is because people are buying from them, but there are other asic manufacturers, if you still dont know a japanese conglomerate is already selling a 24ths asic miner that beats bitmain and all other asic manufacturer in china

and you say bitmain miners are made in china and you want made in USA, where do you think the chips from bitmain come from? lol theyr from texas instruments

anyway i have still a few 1080ti left, i believed in the anti asic until last month when f[ga miners were screwing every fucking algo that forked away from asics and the idea they sold to us about anti asic are all bullshit. they have been advocating against asics and they mine with fpga to compete with gpu miners, now they want to monopolize the bitstream market lol they even have theyr own rebrand of fpga

anyway lets talk again nxt year when reprogrammable asics comeout, go research why intel bought eASIC and put resources from intel and alterra to that asic company just to research on reprogrammable custom chips, custom chips? asic are custom chips. and bitmain has an ai asic chip already its just a matter of time for the nxt step up on asic tech, o btw did you know before asics are made they prototype it first on fpga?

its not nicehash that is screwing the network, its fpga, seems like asics are better than these fpga exploiters, almost double hashrate lol nicehash on x16r dont have that hash, these fpga are screwing alot of gpu mined coins, im selling all my gpu and just going for asics from now on, this anti asic talk is shit, they push anti asic and they mine with fpga and toy with the network, look at what they did to electroneum and its now happening to raven and alot of other gpu coins

lol the grp that came up with the idea of prog pow are now selling fpga with theyr own rebrand, if you can make a software run engineers can make it run on hardware also

the people giving out ideas of  anti asic are now trying to monopolize the fpga market from hardware to bitstream, bitmain didnt have 80% market share because they preached it, but its because they are what people prefer to buy, i wanted to buy the innosilicon 50k sols equihash miner but when i was looking at the feedback from other people who bought before from them innosilicon sucked because of late shipments like 2-3months so i just went for bitmain even if the efficiency is better with innosilicon

this is a zencash thread and not for promoting shit coins

how were you able to get a few z9 mini, that first batch was 1 per customer, when i found uut about that miner and wanted to buy it was out of stock already

fork away from asics just so that fpga will dominate against gpu? currently an fpga has same hashrates as the asics that came out, do you know how to prgram an fpga? does moest people know how to prgram an fpga? can you have a gpu with 128gb mem per card? well good news for you fork away and fpga with 128gb mem will just follow but thing is most people wont be able to use an fpga, why do you think etn and sumo went back to the original algo? i also have 1080ti but and now i just point it to ravencoin but even on that algo it sure has fpga running. i just accept the fact we have been fooled by buying the idea of going anti asic, they sold us the idea and we bought it and while they advocate anti asic they mine with fpga having complete dominance over gpu miners. just accept the fact gpu mining is dead, its either fpga or asic now

if ypu want to go anti asic then you better start learning how to code on vhdl and verilog now, also learn basic electrnics. even if you know how to do all of that there is still no guarantee you can mine with fpga, prog pow? lol any idea on software can be done on hardware, any fpga engr can tell that to you. im slowly selling my gpu anyway bought the sept batch of z9, wasnt able to buy the first batch now was i able to buy the cryptonight asic or any other asic until this sept batch thats coming but makes no difference since fpga are also 2months lead time when you buy them but most people wont be able to learn how to code an fpga.  btc was first mined with cpu then gpu then asic.... wait thats not true, people forgot that before asics mined btc 4-6 months fpga devs mined btc using fpga and they did it secretly and when asics came they sold those fpga  and thats the time people learned of fpga but was pointless already since asics beat fpga. 

just to give you an idea, an fpga that was suppoed to mine btc 6years ago can still mine more btc than the nxt gen best gpu and that fpga runs 40watts only considering thats a 6year old tech, the fpga coming on aug can accomodate 128gb of mem lol maybe even the best gpu for 2030 might not be even be able to beat that, so lets just accept the fact that gpu mining era is over and just choose fpga or asic, btw intel is researching into reprohgrammable asics while bitmain has an ai asic chip lol so its just who of them gets the nxt discovery, intel bought eASIC last week and  is pouring resorces from altera and intel into eASIC for the reprogrammable asic chips

something is wrong with network after fork, almost 2 hour and a half already and we only progressed 10blocks only

is anyone buying the 128gb fpga? because if were forking its better that the team make our own bitstream so miners get the bitstream and we can all mine using fpga and not only the anti asic pushing fpga miners(while they keep the bitstream to themselves or have monopoly of 4% dev fee on bitstream plus 1% miner dev fee lol and they advocate decentraliztion while they monopolize the bitstream market)

like how btcz forked the dev there made a miner software with no dev fee, well we all know gpu is going to the garbage anyway so if were anti asic then were pro fpga so maybe devs can make a bitstream and make of fpga for us miners of zencash?

have you heard of intel developing custom chips to become programmable? they just got eASIC and pouring resources from altera and intel to eASIC for that research

and how about fpga that can follow whatever algo there is, and most people wont even be able to run FPGA

btc was first mined by cpu, then gpu killed cpu, then asic came, what most people dont know is that before asic came there was a short time of about 6months that a few people were mining with PFGA and beating the crap out of gpu miners, the people who used fpga to mine didnt let the public know about this because they had a huge advantage over gpu miners

fpga mining was only publicly announced that time when the fpga miners were selling theyr rigs because they lose to asics, so we fork and gpu mining is still dead because there are people here who has fpga and thus is promoting to go anti asic so that theyr fpga can continue to dominate over gpu miners

it already is a fact that gpu mining is dead, we only have to choose either fpga or asic

fpga, most people cant use due to high requirement of programming needed(vhdl and verilog, plus know some basic electronics, not to mention before you learn those vhdl and verilog you ahve to know other programs also), to buy you can buy direct from manufacturer, cost of 1 unit is high, good thing about it is you can transfer to whatever algo there is faster than devs can fork to a new 1(only if your a good fpga engr)

asics, plug n play, bad about asic is you stay with 1 algo(dont know how ai asics can be used in the future), can buy direct from manufacturers

so its just a matter of... we all learn how to program our own bitstreams for fpga or we use plug n play asics, btw there have been fpga mining on equihash even before asics came and they have been mining with fpga on equihash for a long time already most people just dont know

just to give some people an idea of how fpga performance is, take out asics in the picture, an fpga that was made 6years ago to mine btc compared to the best gpu we have now and mine btc, that fpga still wins by a mile and only runs on 40watts

we got scammed, i got scammed, so save yourself

few info means its garbage

fpga has been mining since last year and is why theyr pushing for anti asics so that they retain there edge against gpu miners and theyr secretly doing that ever since and were just pawnd beleiving about going against asics while they gigglng at the back while mining with fpga

all the while people dont know before asics are developed they prototype it first on fpga until they get the optimized setup

zencash can be used on a nano s ledger

people focus too much on anti asic where networks attacks used nicehash and other hash rentals to underpin decentralization and do double spending, we should boycott nicehash and other hash rentals or devs can make the pow work like they cant exploit low diff, like get in on low diff the when high diff kicks in they leave and rinse n repeat and makes other miners who is consistently running the network get less because we are left to run the network on high diff and they get in on low diff

should make this algo nicehash resistant, those tards that buy hash when diff is low to screw regular miners of coin then leaves when diff is high then just waits for low diff again

thing is there is more hash available to rent than btg hasrate
