Regards Roderick

Hi,

the links work (for the 192.168.1.254 version), but you have to download it in a browser afaik. Please let me know if it still does not work for you.

Best wishes

Ps.: the dhcp enabled version will follow asap, family is a little sick today 

hello i dont mean the download link for the image wish indeed did not work via the browser download i get a 32gb img file 

i mean this:https://gyazo.com/034142865e8adde6ff6b8ebc26ba5183

Regards Roderick

Got you, the image is 32 GB unpacked for now as i had no time to rearrange free inodes yet. No reason to unpack, this is for Linux:
gzip -dc image.gz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/$DEVICENAME

Images should be fixed, my elevated member status seems to have enabled more formatting options.

Stay tuned every - i am currently shrinking the image to 4G, but it will take a while to finish and upload fully 

I will rar it then, upload and let you guys know here. Also some more configuration /setup instructions will follow.

Have a great one

Hello,
I received mine some days ago, the problem is that it's really noisy!
My idea was to keep it in my apartment, because I thought it would make the same noise as an old desktop computer, but it's way louder!
Do you have any hint about making it less noisy? Some replacement fants or something else?
Thanks

The stock fans are horrible! I replaced the fans with 4 spare arctic fans i had spare.

Hope that helps! Got it down to 35dB.

Ps.: A new 8GB Image is ready, but i am on the road and will upload tonight.

yeah the file unpacked is way too big, using win32dskmgr, but obviously it would not fit onto the poor little 8gb card.

i hope there's aversion that can be easily flashed.

thx.

[mxnsch]

It is not too big for my 32GB card 

Yes, i am currently testing a new 8GB version with some additional fixes. Upload today for sure.

I have 2THs version, so I used 8 pcs Sunon HAC0251S4-000U-A99 which are good quality, very quiet and very cheap (about USD4/pc), noise is less than 30dB and my temperatures are less than 50C. It is very similar noise to desktop computer.

Cheap and easy way is to use USD1/pc DC-DC buck converter from ebay which can lower voltage of original fans, but they are still a bit noisy even at lowest speed.

Fixed IP and DHCP-enabled images are currently uploading.
Should be done in about 2 hours. All instructions are now current, also.

If you are unsure - AMA!

Thanks, I just bought four. How noisy is yours? Compared to a desktop computer?

I'll be back home in two days, can't wait to try the new firmware!

As quiet as it can be. My gaming PC is louder

Thank you, can't wait!

Can I ask you why the Pi needs overclocking?

It's not what i would call overclocking. Modest mode is really safe, but can also be disabled if you want. It's giving cgminer more CPU power. More relevant ist the memory that i adjusted for server runtime. It is
split.gpu_mem=16

Ok, I don't think I fully understand what you mean, I'll do some researches when I get home!
And will, of course, install the firmware!

post when a 8 gb card fits. waiting to test. did you allow-api by default & i think it should be standard port 4028 ?

[BannedDK]

hey

i got this old machine gathering dust. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1155991.msg12196631#msg12196631

i tried your image and turned it on, added 3 pools and restartet it. but only runs 40gh.. 

do you think it can be saved or should i just throw it away.. ?

Can you please deactivate the voltage settings? It should definitely work as long as the Hardware is not broken.

[BannedDK]

no hardware should be broken, as it worked when i got it, i just fucked up the sd card and lost the original image.. since then i havnt been able to find a image that worked...

next thing is, im no pro at putty/cgminer thing. so i got no clue on how to deactivate volt settings unless you can link a guide? i know how to enter putty and follow a guide. but thats it 

[mxnsch]

The instructions are in the first two posts of this thread. If you are by any means not sure what you do, please try the original firmware images for Dragon Miner 1T, 1.5T and 2T (currently uploading) linked at the top of the thread.

I am sure we can help you with more specific questions when they pop up, maybe for the windows stuff anybody else can jump in. I heard good things abut  winscp https://winscp.net/eng/download.php

[BannedDK]

i already tried the ones from titan, all the same result..

ill read up on the instructions. will leave it alone if im not sure how to do it.



edit: and btw, ill let it run a month with your info on it if we can make it work. (yes i got free electricity ) aint doing anything usefull anyway turned off...
