1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer Z9 mini overclocked on: December 01, 2018, 10:44:25 PM
Mini support is now available in the Z Series firmware. Please see my other thread for details.

Thanks!

Hi I have missed this thread for a few months.. did i read the above right,,, can we get 16 sols from a batch 2 z9 mini ?
Thanks

htautosjay - it will vary to be honest. With the per-hashboard feature, I've been able to get +5% out of batch2s. That isn't 16k on most, but is an additional 5% from baseline. Tuning takes some work though. Dev fees are disabled until 12/1, so you are welcome to try it on a mini and see.

To tune:

1) Set global frequency to 650. Set each other frequency to "Use Global".
2) Observe your boards for at least 10 minutes, if any drop out, on the next cycle decrease their frequency by 1 step in the pulldown.
3) Repeat this cycle until you have a stable minimum frequency for your boards.
4) To start the 'upwards tuning', choose one board (#1 for example) and increase it's frequency by 1 step.
5) Observe the board for at least 10 minutes to see if it is stable. If it is, repeat #4. If it is not, drop down 1 step and move to the next board.

Going through this process (which hopefully makes sense), you should be able to tune your units for your individual system maximums. It's best to do this with the fans set to 100% so you can remove thermals from the equation -- after which, set the fans back however you want them and see if your boards stay stable. If they do, good, of they don't, eithee decrease freqeuncy by 1 step or increase fan.

Good luck!

Jason
Thank you for your reply, i have a bunch of batch 2's running between and 13.3 and 14 sols.. i will have a look at what you suggest.. thanks again

might want to look at pirate


looks good
Can you post some more info please.
where to mine?.
Mining rewards at 10k sols?
exchange/ wallet recommended?.
Thanks

I switched my Z9 minis (6) about 2 weeks ago, and happy with BTC :-)
are you getting much rejection % on the Nicehash website?
i have test 2h today with a lot of rejected...
Me too same.. going to let them run all night and see

Whats the latest on pools to use guys?... I am on Slushpool Zcash mining.. what are your thoughts to multi port Mining Pool Hub?.. I tried it for a while and figured i am better mining a single coin...ZhashPro looks and works well too for Zcash and ZEN..
Just wondering what you guys are mining for best profitability?  
Cheers
I use prohashing.com with multiswitch for equihash algorithm and autoexchange to BTC + LTC.

nanopool.org as backup pool mining ZEC(Zcash).

and finally

MPH with multiswitch for equihash algorithm and autoexchange to BTC as last backup pool.

I do like the sound of Prohashing.. I have setup an account, but what URL should i use for multi port mining? and what is that password argument?.. I really dont understand that.. and where do i get the worker names?.. Sorry for the multi questions but its so much different than the other pools i have used..
Thank you

For more information like mining single coin you read "help" on prohashing.com site.
(Port 3336 is for Equihash algorithm)


Miner number 1
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=miner001

Miner number 2
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=miner002

Miner number 3
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=miner003

and so on ...
Thank you so much I will have a go.. Smiley

Ps whats the port for mining multi coins where do i find that?.. Thank you again

i use luxor pool currently for zcash and sia. they have a promo 0% fee for zcash
I will have a look, I haven't tried Luxor, Tried Mining Dutch this morning but it had very few users.. What we need is a multi port pool that switches the moment a coin becomes more valuable to mine.. MPH has such a delay on switching

13  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Antminer S9 FW with voltage/fan/frequency control on: September 20, 2018, 09:42:56 AM
Just checked. In fact, the autotune miners run the fans at slower speeds.

emmm when i did mine were running at 4600 when my auto machines were at 6000 hence why i said they run hotter. so i wonder why they go to crazy temps when clocked?...
14  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Antminer S9 FW with voltage/fan/frequency control on: September 20, 2018, 08:04:45 AM
If the readings are right, can someone explain this:
On autotune FW @14TH I get 90°C. Same miner with 650FW and stock settings @14TH shows 110°C. Power consumption is the same. So why get the chips hotter?

The fans run slower RPM's check it out.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer Z9 mini overclocked on: September 19, 2018, 09:31:16 PM
I'm seeing around 11 ksol/s with no OC currently. I'll have to try another work around later like flashing an older version of the firmware.

There is no magic to it, just flash batch 1 firmware and you dont have to do all that random editing and whatnot, you can just select from a drop down menu.

I am curious to see if the batch 3s are even less overclockable than batch 2 or if they have just settled with this configuration as final

UPDATE: I flashed my batch 3 with the batch 1 firmare and am able to overclock this Batch 3 unit to 750 freq. It's only been running 10 minutes so I can't speak to how stable it is; but my batch 2 units will crash almost instantly or 2/3 boards refuse to start hashing above 673 freq. My batch 2 run at 625 freq for about 13.75 ksol/s stable because I had some boards crash with some units even at 631-650.

I will edit this post if I experience any stability issues.

Batch 3 Z9 Mini
15 ksol/s stable @ 750 freq

PCB Temps: 64*c ish
Chip Temps: 70*c ish
Nice
16  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Antminer S9 FW with voltage/fan/frequency control on: September 18, 2018, 10:32:44 PM
Can somebody please tell me if I get this right:
The difference between the fixed frequenc firmwares is the voltage, right? So If I load the 650M firmware on a S9 with stock 14TH, it will assume it has good chips and give them LOWER voltage than the 600M firmware, right?

So could i just load the 650M firmware on my S9 and check what frequency it accepts?
Problem is that as soon as I load the fixed frequency firmware, the temps show above 100°C. But i think the readings are not right...

Any advice?

The readings are right, i have a lot of S9's and i loaded 650 FF FW and the temps went crazy.. some showed 82 temp but in the firmware it said display upto 82 only so god only knows what the temps were.. for that extra 1.5TH it aint worth burning your boards..
Just my opinion.. tried and tested.. i have auto freq on all of mine.. loading the 650 FF FW is for very cold climates
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer Z9 mini overclocked on: September 18, 2018, 09:04:56 PM
I have just dropped my freq to 637 and the few that were giving me hassle on 650 plus are hashing higher at 637  Shocked maybe try lowering the rate... see what you think...
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer Z9 mini overclocked on: September 15, 2018, 09:50:06 PM

Mate, how do i set up workers?...i linked my coinbase acc and payout proportions in BTC.. filled in the UK resident form.. bit lost now.. whats all this arguments stuff lol Thanks

I see that I made a mistake under "Password" regarding "n="

You choose some name and / or number that makes it easy for you to identify like:
z9mini001
z9mini002

or whatever suits you!!!


Login to your z9 mini's number 1 - 3:
Goto Page "Miner Configuration - General Settings"

z9mini number 1
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=z9mini001

z9mini number 2
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=z9mini002

z9mini number 3
Pool 1:
URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
Worker: your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
Password: n=z9mini003

and so on ...


Best of luck!!!
ok cool il give it another looking at

Do you earn more on Prohashing then Mining Pool Hub?... I have been wondering where the best place is to point my Z9's ..
Will Prohashing mine on Autoswitch?. BTCP, HUSH , XEC, ZCL, Ect and payout in BTC?
Thanks


If you point to
Url : stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3336
it WILL be autoswitch.
You will need to have something like this
password : c=zcash n=your_login_name_at_prohashing.com
if you wan't to get only one coin and in this example it was Zcash.

Letting all your machines mine one and same single coin (not solo mining) WITHOUT converting will give lower fee AND share rewards you don't get in my case.

I convert to BTC and LTC.
Because I get immidiate conversion on prohashing and can choose have many % of each like 80% BTC and 20% LTC conversion I wan't I do not risk loosing as much because of the loong unknown time it takes for MPH to do the autoexchange since BTC can move alot in that time.




Furthermore on MPH the multialgo on port 17023 is not in sync whith Whattomine.com and also seems to move big hashing-power between the different algorithm's in a way that I beleive influense the other algorithms negatively.


As I understand it, on prohashing.com I can be rewarded for parts of work my machine done (read "Help" on their site) even when "too late" and I seem to get better "2hr avarage solrate" hashingspeed for my z9mini and for other friends they have been getting ridiculus speeds on their Innosilicon A9 ZMaster's when loggin in to them as well as on prohashing "2hr avarage solrate" hashingspeed both in "balance" and "performance"-mode with different firmwares AND the problem they had with there A9's whatever firmware with restarting because memory full seems to be gone. Their logs dont't get clogged up with as much as with MPH, nanopool and flypool and others. Before they had to restore to factory defaults between 1-2 weeks apart just to keep them spinning for more than something like 8 hours before their A9's would restart. After facory restore they could get 1-1.5 days and for every restart it would get worse.


Seems like prohashing.com calculates each and every machines hashingpower and timedelays and manage to choose which work/coin/difficulty to give to each machine with better earnings as a result.

My z9mini has also shown quite a few impressive 2hr delta hashing speed up towards 20ksol/s.
But hashing speed goes up and down.


I have also "found block":
Algorith     Coin        blockrewards   fee            difficulty         value       status
Equihash   Komodocoin   3   0.001356   1,443,172,861   $2.9901   Mature


I just say that give prohashing.com a day or soo if you feel that you are not satisfied with the miningpool(s) you are using now!


(And I live in Europe so I do NOT have anything to do in any way with prohashing other then being a little bit more satisfied and hopeful with my limited earnings.)

If someone else tries prohashing.com I hope they will give their oppinion whatever it is !!!
