Let's just focus on the S9s, try not to mention the other gears, or else your topic will be moved to the alt section and it's a spam land.

The first thing I would suspect when more than 1 gear start acting weird at the same time would be the network setup, the second thing would be the PSUs, get a cheap multimeter to confirm you are getting 12v on the DC output or use a PC's PSU to test the S9, make sure it's at least 400w and unplug 2 hash boards (keep only 1 hash board).

Usually, the miner itself isn't affected by power-related issues, the PSU will take the hit and die, so hopefully, that will be the case for you.

With the right power rate, nothing is unprofitable, the majority of my gears run at 85-90w/th and I was always running them at a profit, but mining at a profit alone isn't the only indication of a successful business model, if I have to wait for 1-2 years to breakeven on my BTC or fiat investment while taking the risk of owning a mining gear that could very well just die on me halfway I rather just sit on the BTC I have and watch it grow against fiat without having to worry about it as it sits safe and sound in a cold wallet.

The way I picture us is 2017 all over again, I would argue that the cycle has lengthened by around 6 months or so, so I see it as May-June of 2017, looking back at the chart, difficulty and gear prices back then, you can tell that the best move during those last a few months of the cycle was to stay liquid in BTC and sell your way up because a few months later those who paid 2-5k for an S9 were looking back with bitterness at the decision they made.

Not to say that they weren't able to hit ROI later on, but a few months later those mining gears were sold for a fraction of the price mentioned, do I pay 4k for a used M20s when I can probably get it for $500 when this mania phase is over? or do I buy an S9i for $600 despite the fact that I paid $80 for it last year before this fomo takes over? to me, it doesn't make sense at all, and I am very confident that mining gear prices will come crashing next year, the best and the most effienct gear will take 50% hit.

I rather buy them cheap when everyone is selling them not when everyone is buying them, looking at the major telegram and FB groups people are just looking to buy, the demand on all mining gears is sky high, even from those who don't know how to use an online calculator and asking "how much x gear is going for and how much does it generate" are buying mining gears every day, they can't possibly end up making a profit, no business functions this way.

So what's your plan, just buy the new S19s when they hit the market?

My plan is a bit different, I think buying mining gears in the middle of the bull cycle is really a bad idea when measured against holding bitcoin, in all the previous cycles we saw that most gains come in the last 2-3 months of the cycle and then the next 2-3 months will wipe out all those gains, it has always been the case and I don't see why would it change now.

So the theory is, by holding bitcoin when we go parabolic you can easily and slowly sell your coins, but with mining, it isn't the case, you will enjoy 2-3 months of good rewards and then that's it, 3 months later your rewards and the value of the mining gear will most likely be reduced by half in the best-case scenario, which is why I rather stay as liquid as possible especially since we are already 3 years into this cycle and what's left in it is most likely a LOT shorter than what has passed.

I am interested in other folk's plans in regards to expanding or otherwise existing.

The means we need at least 6.40+6.65+6.92+7.19 EH increase for 4 straight jumps, it's hard to maintain which is why I still think we might not get a new ATH before next year, but again since we still have old gears that can come online at any second, let's just expect the words and say that we finish this year with a new ATH difficulty and a total hashrate of 180E.

we know that every 1EH is roughly 10,000 S19 pro which means by then we will need 72,000 S19 pro or the equivalent every 2 weeks(a bit less) to sustain a 4% increase, I think the maximum we can have will be 20-30k gears every two weeks, it so we likely won't be seeing anything above 2% increase once we pass the ATH, so 30T diff by June-July?

Well, in fact, all 3 hash boards are missing zeros, you just couldn't notice the last one because it's missing a single chip.

When you carefully browser through the kernel log you will see the chip count test states the following.


The complete chip count for all S9 miners (excluding S9k and SE versions) is 63 asic, J8 will work fine with 1 missing chip, actually, even boards showing 54 chips will work fine (the hash board is divided into sub-domains only certain chip failure will pass the test), the other two showings 26 and 22 will most likely not produce any hashrate, the most likely scenario for this issue is physical damage to one or more of the chips.

The problem is usually beyond fixing, but trying different firmware, PSU and all that might fix it.

لا اعتقد ان هده الارقام لها علاقة بمفاتيح بتكوين, ايضا وجود مجلد باسم RSA يزيد من شكوكي, فالبتكوين لاتسخدم RSA بل تستخدم Elliptic Curve Cryptography, وجودها في مجلد باسم كريبتو ايضا لايعني انها كريبتو كارانسي, كلمة كريبتو لها علاقة باي نوع من التشفير, مع هدا لا استطيع ان اجزم اي شي, هل تأكدت من عدم وجود اي تحويلات في العنواين التي تحصلت عليها؟

Don't give up just yet, you still have a chance, you might be able to convince Slush to just send you the rewards to the old address, Artemis3 is a team member at BO and a good forum member so he should be first to reach out to.

The second person would be Irina the head of support, Jan Čapek is also a very helpful person (I think he is the founder or something), anyway, you can find all these folks on telegram https://t.me/BraiinsOS, you might want to PM them instead since that channel is more about the firmware than the mining pool itself, you don't want to be spamming the wrong group.

Again, don't feel bad, chances are, you are going to get your money back, keep us updated.

The minimum payout threshold on Slushpool is 0.001 BTC which is just about $65, so if you have just under 0.01 then you can withdraw without any extra fees, just set your payout address and wait for their payout, the maximum you have to wait on most pools is 24 hours assuming your timing is really bad.

I understand your concern but you need to be bullish in a bullish market like this one, there is only 1 peak and so many tops, every new ATH is more likely NOT the last rather than the opposite, it's really like betting on a ball that's spinning to stop in the next second, a spinning ball is always likely to keep spinning the next second unless you have the measures in place to actually stop it.

With that said, there is nothing wrong with taking some profit if you treat bitcoin as a short to med term investment, DCAing your way in and out of any market will usually be your best move in the long run.

ماهو امتداد الملفات التي وجدتها؟

I can vouch for this, but not this >


Time isn't the only test a mining pool has to go through, someone could argue that being the largest pool is the most successful, honestly this "world-first mining pool" doesn't change anything, history is irrelevant as far as the future is concerned.

What did you use to blow them? what kind of compressed air are you talking about? if the pressure is too strong it could damage some components, especially if you placed the tool very close to the hashboard.


Please start your own topic so we all can focus on one thing at a time, what you doing isn't helping anyone including yourself.

It's pretty normal for the chips on the middle dashboard to run slightly hotter than the other two, the difference in that picture is a bit over the average but nothing concerning to me at least, I have seen far greater variance than this, it could also be caused by something blocking the airway in the heatsink around the sensor that reports 82c.

if this was another gear I would advise him to clean it, but since this is a T17, I rather not touch them if they work, I remember a bunch of heatsinks coming off when I used an air blower to clean them, it's like they installed them using saliva instead of solder.

It is indeed vnish and the kernel log is (without a shadow of doubt) incomplete.


The next line show show


or shows any fan-related errors, op you need to post the complete kernel log if you want answers, otherwise, you can only expect people guessing your problem which usually doesn't solve anything.

Well, the pool owner can write whatever they want on the status page, but if your miner did not reboot after it found the block, it should show the corresponding share for that block using that you can see if that block was actually accepted by the network, but really, you shouldn't be mining to a pool you have the slightest doubt about its owner.

That's the sound of BTC printing.

Jokes aside, if the above isn't the cause, then it's those channels (where you insert the hash board), you need to make them tighter since they are for some reason (likely the heat) expand and fail to hold the hashboard firmly, maybe put some silicone in them? I know exactly what noise you are talking about, however, I never attempted to fix it because it doesn't really affect anything that matters to me, also what do you mean by the edge of the hash board? do you mean the bottom part?

I doubt we can maintain a 5% increase on every epoch, it takes more hashrate to add 5% on the next epoch than it takes to add the same % in this epoch and so on, however, I won't be surprised until all the gears that were once here show up, so all the way to difficulty of 25T anything can happen, from there onward we will hardly get 2-3% assuming we remain in a bull run.

ماهي العواين التي ضهرت لك؟ هل تأكدت انها لم تستقبل اي بتكوين من قبل؟



اي عدد من الخانات تقوم بادخاله سوف يعطيك 64 خانة او برافيت كي صحيح, مثلا لو قمت بادخال هده الكلمة في هاش 256 (الرابط في الاعلى)



ستحصل على هاش بهدا الشكل


هدا الهاش هوا مفتاح برايفت كي صالح للاستخدام فعليا, ويمكن استخراج عنوانه باستخدام الموقع الاول الذي اعطيته لك



لاحظ هنا اننا تحصلنا على 2 عنواين واحد compressed والاخر uncompressed نظرا لانه هناك طرقتين لاستخراج المفتاح العام اما على محور x او محور y ولكن لاداعي لفهم هده التفاصيل الان, فقد يجب ان تعرف ان كل برافيت كي يعطيك 2 عنوان.

اذا المفتاح المشتق من جملة "السلام عليكم" اعطانا هده العنواين

يمككنا الان نسخ هده العنوان ولصقها في https://blockchair.com/ للتاكد من وجود رصيد او لا.


الان النقطة الصعبة في موضوعك هي المدخلات التي ستقوم بادخالها في الهاش, يمكن ادخال ال 256 خانة كاملة وسوف تحصل على برافيت كي واحد, يمكن ادخال نصف الخانات وايضا سوف تحصل على مفتاح برافيت واحد, لا احد يعرف ماهي الطريقة التي رتبت بها تلك المدخلات, لذلك جرب كل الطرق وحاول تنشيط ذاكرتك (ابحت في الانترنت على طرق مساعدة تنشيط الذاكرة).

والاهم من هدا ان تضع احتمالية ان ال 256 خانة التي لديك هي فعلا مفاتيح خاصة لي 4 عنواين قمت بتسجيلها ولكنك لم تستقبل عليها اي بتكوين.

حسننا هدا يعني ان الملاحظة الموجودة على الورقة التي تحمل (base58) لا تعني اي شي, او ربما فقط قمت بكتابتها لتذكر نفسك بأن تقوم بتحويل المفتاح الى base58

حسننا الان دعنا نلخص الموضوع, انت لديك 256 خانة وهم hexadecimal  طول كل منهم 64 خانة يعني انها مفاتيح خاصة من نوع  64 Private Key Hexadecimal Format هل قمت فعلا باستخراج العنواين والاطلاع على ارصدتها بهده الطريقة؟

الاختمال التاني هوا ان تكون البيانات التي عندك هي raw phrase الذي استعملته لانتاج البرافيت كي, طبعا اي بيانات تقوم بادخالها في hash sha256 سيكون ناتجها 64 hex بغض النظر عن طولها, فهما يمكن ان تكون ال 256 خانة هي ال raw phrase الذي يوصلك لمفتاح خاص واحد, او يمكن ان يكون كل 64 خانة هي raw data لمفتاح خاص بدل ان تكون المفتاح الخاص نفسه.

It depends on your goal, if you want efficiency then you are looking for "underclocking", which means you should set the voltage and frequency to the lowest settings available, and then slowly increase the frequency until the miner is no more stable, if you want to "overclock" the miner then it's a different approach, but it's more complicated than this given that the voltage on these gears is universal and not per hashboard.

However, I found that auto-tuning done by custom firmware to be a lot more effienct, not only does it control the frequency of each hashboard but it controls the frequency for every individual chip on each board, and given that different chips on the same hashboard can perform completely different, by maximizing the performance of all chips individually you get an overall much better result wether you are trying to increase the hashrate or the efficiency of the miner.
