its 0.2 eth now... no announcement, no website header, nothing. The staff stating "hey we posted it on our fb,telegram ect." isnt a excuse what they did was EXTREMELY underhanded and the staffs reasoning and excuses are just rubbing salt in the wound. I went from 83% to 43% with a refresh, once my threshhold hits im done with that pool. Also raises questions if i want to keep the OS. Whats the next underhanded thing they could do?
2  Bitcoin / Mining support / S17 fan speed? on: March 06, 2022, 05:00:38 AM
I'm looking to replace some fans on a S17. ZeusBTC had this on their fan replacement page.

Quote
6000 RPM Miner fan: used for Antminer S9, V9 and L3+

5000 RPM Miner fan: used for Antminer L3+

7000 RPM Miner fan: used for Antminer S11 series, S15 series, S17 series, and S19 series.


After seeing this I realized my fans never go above 6k, with 5800 being the most on 2 of them. Seems the 7k fans pull 5A is  this safe to run on  a s17? I vaguely remember coming across a post on here about someone frying a control board by putting 5A fans on a asic.. just cant remember which asic it was from bitmain.
If I'm able to go full 7k fans, I will, currently eyeing HVVH 5A 7000RPM fans on amazon right now. https://www.amazon.com/HVVH-5A-Brushless-Replacement-7000RPM/dp/B08QZV3YM1/ref=sr_1_1?crid=30FF8D6HST669&keywords=7000%2Brpm%2Bantminer%2Bfan&qid=1646523573&sprefix=7000%2Brpm%2Bantminer%2Bfan%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-1&th=1
Any other suggestions for US resellers?

3  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: NBTC? on: March 01, 2022, 04:36:31 PM
That offer is pretty expensive I don't know if someone will take that offer just to fix or replace the heatsink.

Actually, you don't need to hire Bitmain or someone to reattach the heatsink back to its position you can do it with your self you just need to buy a thermal adhesive to put them back to the hashboard.

Considering it because Bitmain wont fix a board of mine because "one has too many heatsinks fallen off". Any updated thermal adhesive I should use as I will attempt to fix it once its returned to me. I've seen the arctic thermal adhesive suggested but seems to be discontinued on amazon.

$300 shipped to the US is very expensive.
That is almost what it would cost to have a CNC place do it here.
Yes I know you would need to design it, and create the CAD drawings and so on. But still that is US cost not China cost.

-Dave

Interesting.. I might poke around with a solution. If I'm designing it then the design can probably done without having to tin anchor point on the board.

I can across these heat sinks anyone used used them? worth it? Seems like a hell of way to fix the failure rate of the 17 series heat sinks.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002983783228.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.productList_6000660073989.subject_2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCMkRL7j6pU

Who would be able to offer doing the labor? I would love to do at least 1 board in my S17, as Bitmain said they wouldnt fix my 1 board with 5 heat sinks that got removed.

6  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Will the real Vnish please step up. on: February 19, 2022, 03:52:20 PM
isnt Vnish asic.to? Been running asic.to on my s17s for over a year and love it.

How much extra hashpower are you actually getting out of the firmware upgrade and are you still using stock cooling?



I did early tests with HiveOS and remember getting 63-65th but that was dead of winter in a large warehouse. Due to the constants of where I'm mining now I don't OC, I use the custom firmware to fit my wattage and cooling limitations. I'm mining in a warm climate (SW desert) so heat is number 1 to deal with. With asic.to I can have thermal limits for swapping profiles. Stock firmware can't do 1/3 of the things the other 3rd party firmware can do. Current settings for the S17, 50.8th at 525Mhz for 1971 watts.

Its just two of those rx580 so the 650watt power supply is more than enough for every algorithms that you want to mine, on ETH those cards takes 80watts each = 160watts and on ravencoin those cards takes up to 120watts each = 240watts, still not even close to the half of 650watt power supply.

You are wrong. This cards need 120w for ETH - you canīt use the software reading for this - AMD only show the TGP in every software - so you must add around 30-40w to every card.

Example - Teamredminer show 530w for one of my RX570 rigs - from the wall it is 880w.

Same for Nvidia, but here you must only add around 10 - 20w per card to the software readings.

Yes i know no one will hear this and no one will trust to my words, it is so annoying that so much people donīt trust to my words every time. But you lie to yourself if you think such software readings are the truth.

This is the truth. If OP is that spooked about wattage get a Killawatt  https://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_5?crid=HM757DH482O7&keywords=killawatt&qid=1644859015&sprefix=killawatt%2Caps%2C379&sr=8-5 get from the wall readings. Run algos, note wattage pull.

POW is based on hard iron real gear and the worlds electrical grid. It has Real infrasturcture.

and ETH is more likely to not go to POS than it is to go to POS because it is certain to fail if it goes POS.
Yep 100%, Doge signaling they want to go POS means the coin is dead. Same with ETH, I can't wait the screeching from the gamers when ETH announces a hybrid POW chain. Also....   BTC going POS.... LOLOLOLOLOL stop falling for MSM lies. It will never happen and its NOT being discussed. Miners are a tangible link to the digital world.
10  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Where to fix your Asic miners. on: February 04, 2022, 12:38:12 AM
I did use https://great-voyage-inc.myshopify.com/ for an S17 Pro power Supply repair (APW9) recently
They are legit. Getting a repair is kind of confusing. You create a repair request on their site and send in. Then email for confirmation. I also joined their telegram chat for more immediate questions.

I was however very disappointed in price. Half of it went dead, that is 2 of the 3 fans (as powered by one cord) stopped. Expected it to simply be an integrated fuse, but they of course did not say. They never advised of estimate to repair (I failed to ask ahead of time, too exited I finally found someone that would repair power supplies) and they only said done, total due $250 ($200 repair and $50 return shipping. It only cost me $14 to ship to them the via my UPS account.) However, as you can't find one for less than $350 now and days, I had to take it.

I may give them another chance for a hashboard repair as my regular company is 90 days out and they turned the power supply in about 3 weeks. Telegram chat suggests they are similarly fast on hashboards. But I will ask for price quote before repair



Good to hear they are legit. The repair process is weird as hell but whatever they are the only ones to answer my emails. Got 1 S17 and a S17Pro Hash board being repaired dropped off on Jan 25th. Do you as the owner of the telegram group about repair info? Ive joined and pm'd the owner waiting on response.
11  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: S17 Pro Issues on: January 30, 2022, 05:53:35 PM
Had a similar issue as well before my board went down. Before I pulled the board and sent it to repair, when i saw this error I shutdown the machine for 10mins and warmed moved my intake to a mix of warm room air and outside cold air. Brought the board back for another week or so. Also try vnishs FW might bring it back totally.

Update: After a long weekend I got a reply from Great Voyage, will be sending off either today or tomorrow.
13  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: ASIC Repairs Communication on: January 15, 2022, 04:16:22 PM
I just sent two S17+ hash boards to New Voyage USA, ordered through their website - 4 day turn around!  Boards being delivered tomorrow.

Do you mean Great Voyage? That's fantastic turnaround, so you used the google 'out of warranty' doc? Hows does the repair process work with Great Voyage? Seems like a weird system thought I would have to get a RMA number or something prior to sending the machines off. Would you happen to know do they accept just the hash boards or just whole machines?

Hell if there is any repair centers on the west coast of the US ill drive the boards in myself. Great voyage is a 40 hour drive Shocked

This is on the site, "Note that the repair site information provided by Zeus Mining free of charge is based on the photos of the repair site, more detailed information needs to be verified by yourself, Zeus Mining does not assume other responsibilities."


It's good that you have picked this one, as I said before I personally trust zeusbtc and can vouch for them, I have had many successful deals with their founder even long before I knew he was the owner of zeusbtc, a very genuine and trustworthy person, but if zeusbtc tell you they don't guarantee the folks listed on that list, then you should be careful, I know they don't randomly list everyone but I highly doubt that the due diligence is good enough.

nly Alpha Asic Repair has a website.. The pictures zeus is talking about on their site tell me nothing and how could you verify them as legit. I have spoken with Alpha before and they seemed a little over anxious to get my machines

I know that "Alpha Miner" which is owned by Mike and their website is www.alphaminer.io is legit, not sure if this "Alpha repair" is owned by the same company or not, I will hopefully have the answer by tomorrow and will let you know.

Edit: Mike replied, they are not related to the "Alpha repair" at all, using a similar name to a company that already exists makes me doubt them, I would be extra careful. 

Thanks for looking into alpha repair. Alpha PSUs look great! Totally forgot about this company, wish my problem was as simple as a PSU swap. One S17 has a few blown chips and heatsinks fell off.. that old chestnut. The other S17 had 1 boards temp sense freak out and now the board dont come up.. upgraded asic.to firmware to current nothing, tried Braiins nothing.

All of the US based ads look way to shady for me. Thats why I want to send it to a bitmain repair center in the US.

Zeusbtc is a well-known site here on the forum where you can able to buy parts of any ASIC machine and partner with trusted repair companies.

They have a list of US-based repair shops look at this link https://www.zeusbtc.com/RepairCenter/USA/


This is on the site, "Note that the repair site information provided by Zeus Mining free of charge is based on the photos of the repair site, more detailed information needs to be verified by yourself, Zeus Mining does not assume other responsibilities." If some people have used any of these listed vendors please post, but from looking at the US based repair centers its a email or phone number. Only Alpha Asic Repair has a website.. The pictures zeus is talking about on their site tell me nothing and how could you verify them as legit. I have spoken with Alpha before and they seemed a little over anxious to get my machines. Found them originally though a post on here late last year by a new user with no merit. I may have a new user account but I have lurked here for a long time, way back to the release of LTC gpu miner. I've seen so many scams come and go, just don't want to risk my asics with randoms with "pictures" as proof they repair asics.

17  Bitcoin / Mining support / ASIC Repairs Communication on: January 12, 2022, 03:35:53 AM
Hello all,
Has anyone gotten any communication with any ASIC repair locations? For me its been radio silence from Core Scientific for a solid 3 months now... MyRIG is a joke. I saw the ebay post on the other thread (https://www.ebay.com/itm/154553760186?hash=item23fc1f39ba:g:wEUAAOSwWMFhmeZT) with great voyage as they are an official bitmain repair facility i would like to have them look at 4 hash boards from my S17s.

Going to Great Voyages site and heading over to the out of warrenty repairs section, this is what they give. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevZ5n8kJgVY95JPknNap_eojq1OgHTv1tYCnerjSQX-Q5INg/viewform) Has anyone dealt with them through this google doc setup? Seems like a thrown system and don't trust my boards will be returned. Any suggestions?

This is the error i get trying to connect to pplns.toncoinpool.io:443/stratum on HiveOS. TON_Stratum_Miner_HiveOS-2.1.1 miner has no problem connecting.

XFX Rx580 - 1.277 GH
Sapphire Rx580 - 1.283 GH
Sapphire RX5700 xt - 728 MH
Sapphire RX5700 xt - 863 MH
MSI rx590 - 622 MH
trying to figure out what the difference is, these are the same clocks i use for ETH, using TON_Stratum_Miner_HiveOS (c) v.2.1.0

I have no idea how you got to 1.2gh on a rx580, maximum I got with a rx580 was 900 mh, well core was low at 1200mhz, did not try 1450mhz but even if got as high as 1450mhs that 1.2gh would also be impossible in my calculations. 900 to 1200 is 30% increase, that also would mean 30% increase in clocks or even more than that, meaning 1200mhz + 30% would be at least 1600mhz and a rx580 is impossible to get to that.

It's funny, your rx590 got as high as 622 mh and your rx580 got as high as 1.2 gh which is double of that of a rx590 hehe, what the hell happened there? hehe

I couldnt tell you at all lol! just used my normal eth clocks. 1200/2200, -ref 30 on the xfx, 1250/2250, -ref 250 on the sapphires. The 590 has always been weird.. cant get it above 31 on eth. never liked it. Have any suggested clocks for the 590 on ETH or TON?

lolminer is giving me problems i cant get it to connect to pplns.toncoinpool.io:443/stratum on HiveOS. Only TON_Stratum_Miner_HiveOS (c) v.2.1.1 connects to that pool.
