Considering the volume on this exchange this is kind of pathetic. I mean how much do decent web and database developers really cost?

i have another 4 G2 and not like that
i think this psu having a problem
I think it depends on the load on the cables. I have 3 S9's from different batches. The ones that burned (the most) are the ones that are running at the highest freq and therefor pulling the most juice. It seems like for various batches bitmain would mix two high performing boards with a lower performing board and I can tell just from looking at the connectors which is which. This is especially true on the autotune ones where different boards set different freqs. I think the original EVGA cables were not built for the sustained load these things put on them. Since I tried the conductive grease and the grease has darkened my connectors even more, I go entirely on how hot they are to the touch. If it is too hot to keep my fingers on the cables and connectors indefinitely, then it's too hot in my opinion. Right now I can put my fingers on any of the connectors or the cables near the connectors and hold them there as long as I want without feeling like it is getting too hot to keep touching it. But again, I replaced the original EVGA cables for all of the ones that are pulling the highest loads. |

I've had the same problem with those same PSU's although not as bad. I tried some conductive grease per recommendations on this forum but I don't feel like that helped well enough. I ended up getting some more heavy duty cables like these: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812493213 which I think has solved my problem. But like I said, my problem had not progressed as far as yours has. Here's what mine looked like before I replaced the cables.   Obviously they are still burnt looking like that but they are not nearly as hot to the touch as they were when that was happening now that I have the new cables. |

I could be totally wrong but...
I expect we'll see a price squeeze start soon. The vast majority of mined DASH are probably going to hodlers now. People who just will not sell at this price because it will never make them back what they paid for the miners. Staked DASH is a different question and that's half I believe, so that could still negate the hodlers. But I expect an upward price pressure to form now.
I still wouldn't buy one of these D3's though, or any other current gen x11 miner for that matter.

I just received my antminer today and I am having a problem with a setup.
I used a cable for the power supply that says on it that it supports 75 degrees celsius, 250-440V and 16A. But when I plugged my machine, the power supply cable got really hot (enough to not be able to comfortably hold it in hand). I know that the specs on the cable are probably enough to support one antminer, but the cable seems way to hot
Does you cable also get too hot?
Which cable are you referring to, the one from the wall outlet to the PSU or the ones from the PSU to the miner? You can definitely cause a fire by pulling too much juice through an underrated cable so you want to address this. The cable should not be hot to the touch at all! If it seems hot in the slightest you need to immediately unplug it or risk causing a fire. You may be using a cable that is not correctly rated or perhaps it is just a cheap flimsy cable that was made poorly or is showing the wrong specs. Spend the few extra bucks and get a quality cable that will not cause issues. I am referring to the power cord between APW3++ and the wall socket. On one side of the cord it says 16A and on the other that it is rated at 75 degrees Celsius at 250-440V, so it should be more than enough for the cable 16A should be but there is no way a 16A cable should be uncomfortably hot powering an APW3++ either. Are you sure you aren't reading 16 AWG on the cable? I use 14 AWG cables for my 1600W PSU's and those are only rated for 15A. And they are pretty dang thick as power cords go. These guys have inexpensive power cables of about any length you could want: http://www.cableleader.com/ |

Now the price of dash is bound to rise so keep hold of your coins and wait for the 400 $ Mark for the dash as more and more D3 will be online in Nov and diff will spike once more and the profitability will be negative
I suspect this is true but it is not guaranteed. Miners who paid too much for these devices and can afford to hold the coins will not sell at these prices and that will put upward pressure on the price. Or... People who really put in too much money to buy a ton of these will dump to just try and recover anything they possibly can and that will keep prices down. |

Hello,
is there a way to autorestat a Batchfile if a exe freeze?
For example i start my miner threw a batchfile. If the miner freeze i need a tool which get the freeze close the programm a restart it through the batchfile.
There are ways to do what you want using openhardwaremonitor from http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ but programmatically killing programs and then starting them again is kind of a pain, especially when the programs are called from batch files to begin with so you need to kill batch files and exe files. If you have a dedicated mining computer (like it isn't your home PC) then you should set it up to autologin and start mining when it gets turned on. Then the simplest and most reliable way to recover from hung miners is to detect that it is hung and just reboot. So if there is an associated log entry (like a driver crash) then you can simply setup a scheduled task to run a script that reboots the computer every time the event log is triggered. Alternatively, you can use a periodic task that calls a script to use openhardwaremonitor to check for GPU usage % and if it seems like it isn't maxed, perform a reboot. I actually posted a thread with a batch file I created using openhardwaremonitor for something like that around here somewhere if you want to go look for it. The issue there is that work restarts from the pool will cause GPU % to go down, so you have to do a number of checks in a short period of time and figure out how many low % values you want to consider it a hung miner for a reboot. If the script runs and just happens to check GPU % when pool work restarts are being sent then it may think the miner is hung when it isn't. That's why something simple like an event log entry is the best solution if that will work for what you are experiencing. |

It's the switch or router.
This ^^ EDIT: Looking at the models my money is on the problem being with the switch. |

This thing has no useful purpose that isn't already accomplished better by other alts. I don't understand the hype over this one. Are people just thinking because it will fork you get free money for having BTC the way you did with bitcoin cash? There are already equihash cryptos with superior characteristics to bitcoin. Why would I want to use a slow ass transacting coin when I can use a faster one? If it's just about getting rid of asics well hell we got that already with monero, eth, and zcash all of which are technically superior to BTC already.

How long is bitmainwarranty taking for turn around these days? I communicated with them about a bad board and they were very responsive, like 3 replies within 24 hours. As soon as I sent them the board they stopped responding entirely. They have had possession of my board for 10 days according to UPS and they have ignored 3 different messages from me about the progress or even to confirm they got it. In the past they fixed my S7 board and had it back in the mail to me faster than this...  |

Is there anyway to set your own fixed strantum diff level on Lyra2z. I am getting a solid 18.5 Mhz on my miner yet on your site it is constantly varying between 12 (most of time around 12) Mhz and spikes to 18 Mhz and that is due to the diff level constantly being adjusted to high.
Many Thanks, because this is the only pool that does this Algo, id prefer to fix it here than move elsewhere.
your site always hovers on 12Mhz
Hashrate
12.68
You realize that the poolside hashrate is just calculated based on the number of valid shares your miner submits vs the diff right? If you would just get your miner to submit more valid shares then the pool would calculate a higher hashrate for your miner. |

Sorry if this has already been answered, I've only looked through 8 random pages. I have the proxy running on a Raspberry Pi.
What URL do I enter on the ASICs? It is currently stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub
Is it stratum+tcp://192.168.1.4:3333#xnsub or just 192.168.1.4:3333 ?
Is the proxy clever enough to handle both the L3+ and D3 at the same time? Assuming that I have this in the config. Or is it one pool at a time, meaning that I need 2 Pis?
"pools" : [ {
"name" : "Nicehash X11",
"host" : "x11.eu.nicehash.com:3336",
"user" : "19wv8FQKv3NkwTdzBCQn1AGsb9ghqBPWXi",
"password" : "d=0.02;p=0.24",
"enableExtranonceSubscribe" : true,
"appendWorkerNames" : false,
"workerNameSeparator" : ".",
"useWorkerPassword" : false,
"weight" : 9,
"isEnabled": true
}, {
"name" : "Nicehash Script",
"host" : "scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333",
"user" : "19wv8FQKv3NkwTdzBCQn1AGsb9ghqBPWXi",
"password" : "d=0.02;p=0.24",
"enableExtranonceSubscribe" : true,
"appendWorkerNames" : false,
"workerNameSeparator" : ".",
"useWorkerPassword" : false,
"weight" : 9,
"isEnabled": true
} ]
The part in the proxy config that says "enableExtranonceSubscribe" : true, is already telling the proxy to connect to the pool using the extranonce so I am pretty sure that you do not need the #xnsub in the miner config. You need two separate proxy instances to run two different algos. I am not positive, I am not using this proxy for some time, but I think you can run both proxy instances on the same pi using different ports and then configure the miners to connect to the appropriate proxy instance based on port number. |

I am completely unable to connect to ethereum pool. I have two miners which are already connected and they seem to be working but reconnecting another miner is not working at all. I have tried europe, US, and asia servers and I have tried direct and through a local proxy and nothing seems to work.
EDIT: So looks like claymore miner will connect. Can't get the proxy (I think it's slush's stratum proxy not entirely sure on that though) or genoil to connect.
slush's stratum proxy will not work with ETH pools. Use claymore miner. It's well tested and performs well. Unfortunately I get a lower hashrate with claymore. My other two miners that have stayed connected are using genoil and the local proxy (whatever it is) so it seems to work once it's going, its the connecting part that may have changed. Whatever the problem is, it is new, maybe since the fork. This software combination had been working fine for more than a year. And as I say, the other two miners are still working. What error do you get from genoil + proxy? Please send me screenshot or some error message. Maybe doing some "ipconfig /flushdns" command would help. This flushes old ip addresses. FYI, ETH proxy degrades your hashrate about 9% because it polls every few seconds, not receives new block info in realtime. If you want to stick to genoil, please mine with -S option which connects directly in stratum mode.

It just cycles through that connected\disconnected process endlessly. It does this no matter what MPH server I try and use. However I did get Genoil to work direct to the pool. Apparently the command line to connect to the pool needed to be slightly different than when connecting to the proxy, not just the -S switch, the user\password part as well. |

Linux is just way more stable. Ive had miner executable uptimes of 60-70 days. Thats not system uptime, thats literally how long EWBF ran uninterrupted. In my experience, ive managed about 300 windows rigs and we had to constantly reboot like 20-30 a day no matter what we do to them.
This is kind of true even with windows 7. You gotta script everything so it auto-reboots when necessary (if it doesn't lock up out-right), auto-starts mining at power on, etc... With windows 10 you need to prevent it from auto-rebooting with every damn update. Really the hardware specs mean less than the results of the equation hashrate/price. You can go cheap on just about everything but the GPU and get a good ratio. But profits are dropping a lot this year I feel like. Everybody and their cousin seems to have gotten into the mining game now. I remember when I could make $8 or so per day per GPU. I haven't been buying new GPU's this year but my best cards are down to like $2 a day now. |

I haven't run one of these in a while but I am pretty sure the chip=xx is telling the software how many chips you have so it needs to equal what the blade actually has which according to your subject is 80.

It has 3 hashing boards so it had to be D3. L3+ has 4 boards and besides that you can see the sticker it clearly say D3
Is that directed at me? Hard to tell you didn't quote. Yeah looking closer there is a sticker on the BB Black board that says D3. So I guess they did reuse the L3 IO board on the D3's. Isn't the nic on the Beagle Bone Black board? You should definitely ask first but it may be the same as this one: https://bitmainwarranty.com/shop/products/us/s7-bbb/ |

The board says L3 but your subject line says D3, did they reuse the same IO board or did you mistype it?
I don't own any L3's or D3's but I have owned a number of the various BTC miners from bitmain. So did you try the reset button? Does it have a sd card slot? Some of the S-series miners can be booted from sd card if the onboard software takes a dump.
