****** DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE NOW WHEN ESCROW IS OUT OF THE TABLE.*******

*****If someone still wants to join the quest and get the CGminer 4.9.2 for the S9`s, then please donate to the BTC adress provided by FUBLY********
***** BTC Bounty collection adress: 16L45ub3SpHZ6dYbqseip7Fv4BEJSj9xEo *******
Remember to post your transaction ID as proof of donation  Wink



Bitmain has been cruel to the CGminer license and made their BMminer without confronting either KANO or CK about the license. Talk has been flowing around about getting CGminer 4.9.2 to replace the BMminer on the S9`s and get full controll of your miners once again.
This poll is to see how big the backup could be to make an bounty for some very skilled people to crack BMminer and replace it with CGminer 4.9.2.

Do make a comment of the size of the bounty for this job could be.

So vote yes, if you are in for a bounty and would contribute with some hard earned BTC.
Vote no if you do not care and find the BMminer ok.

And no, i'm not native English ;-) so I excuse for spelling error`s .

I would be willing to pay $100 also and I do not even have an S9 yet. I would order one if the firmware was changed to allow CGminer 4.9.2 to work.

I do not own any Bitmain miners as I refuse to endorse or support a manufacturer who knowingly breaks the Open Source GPLv3 licensing agreement for their own personal monetary gain.  The cgminer devs have worked tirelessly & for free to give the mining community the best, safest & most powerful miner available.

It is criminal that Bitmain continue to use/copy the cgminer code while refusing to release the changes made as required by the Open Source GPLv3 license terms.

I would gladly donate. Then I might even buy one. A legit one.

I would gladly pull 300,-$ up from my savings to teach Bitmain a lesson. No doubt they make good miners, but you do not mess with one of the concepts of Bitcoin and mining.

im in for .25 btc or 175$ usd max.   Would be great if its a firmware upgrade but im ok with copying some files to s9 so long as they stay on reboot.. dont want to have to deal with that all over again. And those with huge farms cant even consider it.

Thanks for starting this.. I didnt want to start a duplicate thread and havent had time yet to search for one.   What urks me is im sure bitmain(with alt account no less) will come to this thread and say sure . ill supply you with the upgrade lol.. Be nice if ck or kano would do it.. Would much rather support them.  But if anyone can come with a fix "beggars cant be choosers"!  Ill have these machines for quite some time.. Soon as avalon comes with new machine ill be jumping to them!

Best Regards

Plan is to make a complete firmware update that replaces the BMminer with Cgminer 4.9.2, so no need of doing anything after update or reboot.
I just want to get rid of the BMminer.

Great Philipma1957  Wink
Looks like more an more people do dislike the way Bitmain has treated the Cgminer license and kept us all out in dark about what the heck is going on inside BMminer v1.0
I hope very soon im able to post statistics about the performance of BMminer or lack of it.

Sounds great Phil..that way we can at least present Kano or whoever can do this an amount we are willing to spend on this. If someone reading this can do this and would like to present an amount we need to come up with that would be great aswell.

Thanks again Phil for handling the escrow.  Really looking forward to seeing this get off the ground.  would like to eliminate all possibility of faulty code in our miner. Closed source is not the route the btc community would like to take.  Closed source is against this entirely.   I think know this is in our best interest as miners.

Can I know the actual problem with S9 firmware? If it's only cgminer version can't you simply replace it with a self-compiled version? What are you looking for? I don't have one, so I'm asking to understand the issue with it.

Firstly Bitmain broke the license of Cgminer. Secondly we have absolutely no control of what the miners are doing with the hash, it looks like by the first statistics that the BMminer is the worst performing miningsoftware. We only have 14 days statistics,  and out of 5 miner versions like, 4.9.2, 4.8.0, Nichash, and others BMminer comes in last and that's with the dobbelt amount of hash comparring to 4.9.2… mind blowing.
We purely want the control back of our miners and do not want Bitmain to hide whats inside the code as they do. It's a destruction of the ecosystem..
Last, no you can't replace BMminer with CGminer as long as Bitmain has decided to make the BMminer NON open source..

Yes thats what needs to be made.. It needs most likely a driver that will control the hashboards that wont come with just a simple copy/replace of bmminer with cgminer.> We need software that will control s9 .  even a complete update of beagle bone would be great.. would be really cool if you could flash minera to the s9 and run it from that.   Thanks Michelem for looking at this for me.  Really appreciate it.

What Bitmain actually did is to make miners turn their backs on S9. Miners will buy from their competitors instead, Bitmain is not so big as to pull the final shots in the mining industry.
Unfortunately that is smoking the crack pipe. There are pretty much no competitors to the S9 for now and by the time there is, no doubt the Bitmain gear will still be cheaper. The vast majority of miners do not make their purchase decisions on principles but on price. I'm not saying that's right, just pointing out reality.

As for "cracking" the S9, unless they put their code up somewhere showing what differences there are in their cgminer fork, it will pretty much never happen. If/when they put their code up for public scrutiny, it would be a simple matter of porting whatever was different between the S7 and S9 into a new cgminer binary. I guarantee you there is likely to be only minuscule differences in the code between cgminer 4.8.0 and bmminer (mainly to support their custom antpool stratum extensions) and small differences between the S7 and S9 drivers. Making firmware is a lot of work, but building a cgminer binary wouldn't be that much work, and I could probably do it (if they put up their code somewhere to see) as I did for S5. That probably doesn't meet the criteria for your bounty so you if you're going to keep offering the bounty you'll have to be absolutely clear about what you want done.

-ck, Thanks, much appreciated.
I know we cant do shit without some kind of code, thats why im trying at the moment to see if some of the guys who used to work for Bitmain could help us out one way or the other or some master genie could break the damn thing.
If anyone knows something or have any kind of leads, please PM.

Can I know the actual problem with S9 firmware? If it's only cgminer version can't you simply replace it with a self-compiled version? What are you looking for? I don't have one, so I'm asking to understand the issue with it.

Yes thats what needs to be made.. It needs most likely a driver that will control the hashboards that wont come with just a simple copy/replace of bmminer with cgminer.> We need software that will control s9 .  even a complete update of beagle bone would be great.. would be really cool if you could flash minera to the s9 and run it from that.   Thanks Michelem for looking at this for me.  Really appreciate it.

Best regards
d57heinz

Can you configure cgminer in S9 to allow API listen? Something like this https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Network-mining-devices#configuring-a-network-miner
Or perhaps S9 has this option pre-configured?

Because with that you will be able to use my Minera project to have detailed statistics, scheduled pool switching, full charts and much more, if the main problem is that.

First beta of new Minera is set to be released soon (some weeks I thinks) love to have you to test it.

There is NO CGminer in S9.... Its Bitmains own BMMiner, thats the whole problem, you cant do shit with the S9, so neither Minera, Awesome, Crypto Glance or others can do anything besides monitorring. No configuration besides Mhz...... NOTHING !

Actually I've found 2 conf files in the S9 with the API listen argument.

One is located in /etc/bmminer.conf.factory - This one I assume is used for restoring factory defaults.
Contains: "api-allow" : "A:0/0,W:*" - Pretty sure this leaves S9's open to intrusion

The other one is in /config/bmminer.conf
This fie also contains : "api-allow" : "A:0/0,W:*"

I'd be happy to test minera on my S9 once the beta is ready.

Pardon my ignorance, but wouldn't "over-writing" the current software on the bitmain equipment be easier than cracking and modifying? I think of it like flashing the BIOS on a motherboard or updating the firmware on another peripheral. I'm sure im missing something here

Overwrite it with what? There are no drivers for the S9 in official cgminer so you if you replace bmminer with cgminer it won't do anything.

Well of course if you can get bitmain to release the details of their equipment.  Otherwise it would be just shooting into the dark.  Bitmain no longer cooperates with the community that built them up.  Typical of business to build off the backs of little guy to success then dump them into a river when finished.

I guess my assumption was that drivers wouldn't be all that different between the previous versions and the current S9. Woulda been nice if BITMAIN would have kept everything standard and then "offered" their own program to large farms who find a value in their software instead of making everyone adopt the bmminer.

My points as well Heinz,
Bitmain wouldn't be there without us and now they screw us all by not releasing the code.
Today is the last day for voting and it looks like we are going to make the Bounty. Now we have to look for very clever people ?

Yes looks to be so.  i tried a shot in the dark with michelem that creates minera but it is mostly overlay that polls cgminer api.  software worked great for a flash of ras pi and the old gridminers.  I dont know too many coders that would be up to this task.  Once we post the bounty we can see how it goes.  And if someone reading this knows of anyone please direct them this way.  If they feel they need more im sure we can try to negotiate something.

I guarantee you there is likely to be only minuscule differences in the code between cgminer 4.8.0 and bmminer (mainly to support their custom antpool stratum extensions) and small differences between the S7 and S9 drivers.
I'm pretty sure this isn't the case surprisingly, the S9 driver appears to be very different from all their previous miners(It appears they also changed the kernel drivers and userspace cgminer interface).

My points as well Heinz,
Bitmain wouldn't be there without us and now they screw us all by not releasing the code.

Until/unless Bitmain releases their bmminer(cgminer fork) source code it won't be realistically possible to create a normal version of cgminer that's compatible with the S9. It would require someone very skilled in reverse engineering and likely a huge amount of time(probably 10's of thousands of dollars in development hours) to even have a chance at getting it to hash at all without the reference source code. If the driver was similar to the S7 it might be realistic but that's not the case here.

If this is the case I guess the only way to achieve this is if the community puts pressure on Bitmain to do the right thing & release their code via their main thread. I just caught Bitmain online & questioned them about it - they immediately went offline again...... Roll Eyes

Well it does have the block header version rolling command in it - so it's probably the real thing.
(look in the code for "multi" "support_vil")
i.e. it does include the 'multi' change that breaks the patent in the USA Tongue

It's still using the old 2014 version of the code and has none of our master cgminer bug fixes to cgminer itself since then, and still has getwork in it, that we removed long ago.
(and yeah I'm not referring to all the fixes I've written for the bitmain driver since 2012 that are of course missing)

If there is more than one version of their bmminer, then they've not included the changes/differences.

I'm staying clear away from bitmain though so I'm not interested in this bounty, but at least there is now 'some' source as per required by the license, even if they did violate the license for a month.

I will, however, say that anyone who wants a new version should stay right away from fubly
His git violates the cgminer license.

NO!

There are missing some code.

Take a look at https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer

ATM I merging it with cgminer 4.9.2

Stay tuned, do not try to compile atm. It will not work atm.

I will send an info when I´m ready with it and got it working on my S9 machine

No idea what you are going on about.
The code is simple to compile as it is in that git.

The main problem with it is exactly as I posted on my last post, it's the old cgminer 4.8.0 code.

I try to put S7 and S9 driver into one package.

I think that it will be possible to communicate from S7 controller board with S9 hashboard.

I got it up with a modified S7 driver and find out some stuff.

No I try to compile it and test it.

Some nearly identical functions (same name, but different params aso.)

Sitting here now since yesterday  Shocked

other problems:

a combination of S7 and S9 is atm to complicated for me.

First run quit with segmentation fault.
Try now 2 runs

Also for this I have to put some #ifdef USE_BITMAIN_C5

Yes, but want to see what happened with the code, but thx.

Some parameters are corresponding with the external drivers of the board, and without the source for axi driver and fpga mem it is f....

I need a ready compiled version of about 1MB and then using stripe it will be about 512kb, but thats not my problem atm.

Do we all agree that Fubly looks like the one who is able at the moment to deliver the Cgminer 4.9.2 for the S9`s ?
If yes I will start to gather the BTC that people agreed to deliver for this Bounty.

I will hope that KANO will help cracking this issue and help FUBLY out with his programming if he gets into problem. This is a general problem that Bitmain made this BMminer and I think it will be in any ones interest that we show these guys at Bittmin that we do not accept this kind of behavior to the ecosystem of Bitcoin.
I hope that everyone is able to dig the axe down deep and start work together.
That said, all licenses has to be kept, so we need the license acceptance from -CK and KANO to be able to crack this nut?

I will ask philipma1957 to start up the ESCROW so BTC can be paid to FUBLY when firmware is delivered and approved.
If any one has other suggestions or corrections, please feel free to post.

Happy mining

./configure --bitmain   (mean S7)

./configure --bitmain_c5 (mean S9)

I will overwrite this to --bitmainS7 and --bitmainS9


p.s. Firmware S9 - I figured out an absolute easy trick* to flash the new version into S9

Just open upgrade - restore settings and use after this my script.

No one needs to reboot the machine, just restart cgminer / bmminer in respect for Kano and the other developers of cgminer I rename it to cgminer back!

build with cgminer 4.9.3 is ready for S7 and works well
There is no such thing as cgminer 4.9.3 at this time. Please don't make people think that your resync creates a new official version.

Furthermore, the actual problems in the bitmain drivers go far deeper than just the core cgminer code and porting the rest of the code does not fix the driver itself.

I think he made an Typo...or I hope he made a Typo 4.9.2 is the official version. If Fubly makes changes to the license of 4.9.2 he needs to publish the changes under the GPLv3 license and im pretty sure he will do so.
No more hiding shit, like Bitmain did it with BMMiner.

compile ready (S7) cgminer with multi-version now with, which pool supports the

mining.multi_version, for testing?

Splitting now the option "--multi-version" into two vars, because bitmain is using this one value for two different options

I have been watching this thread with high hopes that a working updated firmware with version 4.9.2 of cgminer will surface.

Still committed to sending BTC for the reward in the amount I promised once a working version is available and tested on an S9.

Thanks!

Same here i stand by my offer.. Thanks so much guys.  To hell with bitmain for not releasing this.  Karma is a mysterious beast.  Looking forward to avalon miners to come soon:).  And since bitmain clearly marketed these r4 for home miners then what did i buy when i bought the s9.. And if its datacenter only will they be honoring a trade in.. Ill happily trade three r4 that dont sound like a fighter jet for my 2 s9.  Ive never seen a company bite its own foot so many times within such a short period of time.  uffff

Make sure whoever releases one, releases the full source code, otherwise you are in no better situation.
Fubly still hasn't released the full cgminer code for his hacks, he's hiding code and thus breaking the license.

Yeah it has to be fully readable.

Plus Fairly easy to port into an s-9.

Or a new R4.

I am going to buy an R4 tomorrow


I am willing to load one of my 6 s-9s  with new software since I now have 2 dead boards  I really have 5 ⅓   s9s'

What I can do is open an escrow addy on Monday or Tues. To hold some funds for this.

Why would you be trying to use mining.multi_version on a S7? That nversion rolling feature requires hardware support to have any benefit.

I've done some testnet testing with it on the S9 with a patched version of ckpool and got it to roll 1 to 2 bits in nversion, the feature does not appear to be fully functional yet on current firmware as there are some dead codepaths in bmminer/cgminer relating to it in the code that handles the pool response to it being supported.

You really should be more careful and try to understand what you are actually doing a little bit more before you just go distributing modified binaries.

Phil ill be watching closely the demo.. Id appreciate you test it in 35 c conditions to see to it it holds up to its claim.. Thanks for being a guinea pig so to speak for us all.  Let me know when you get the address setup ill shoot ya over my portion.  Thanks again everyone for your parts in doing the right thing.  Im tired of being frustrated by bad actors in this scene.  Hard to over look when there are so many.  I def want to support the few that do right.

Hi together

here is a working version of bmminer, build able on bbb

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-master

If you compare it with the bmminer from bitmain you will find a ton of changes.

I have not tested it yet, can anyone confirm that is works on S9.

Please read build.md :

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-master/blob/master/build.md

on my developer board I got it build without any error. Not one!

For this I hope this f... runs

p.s I`m stupid german and sorry for my bad english (sometimes / most of the time)
If you find some missing words here is the source to build the words:

QWERTZUIOPLKJHGFDSAMNBVCXY,.!


Note! It is the bmminer 1.0.0 master!
without the modification, I / it was not possible to build this shit on my bbb

on line 108 inside "driver-btm-c5.c" you find this!
#define AUTH_URL    "auth.minerlink.commmm" // "auth.minerlink.com"
#define PORT        "7000"
Change it to what you want, but do not delete it.
it is used here line 4213 "driver-btm-c5.c"
setup_send_mac_socket

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

im starting to wonder if bmminer isnt the cause for antpool turn in luck(ohh the irony in that lol).  Also did anyone notice they lost over 100 ph in speed.  Makes one wonder where that went (VIABTC pool anyone ?Smiley ).  https://www.antpool.com/poolStats.htm  They cant seem to build a miner correctly i sure as hell cant trust they can code worth a damn.  Then to hide it with closed source Roll Eyes

Touching back here I have 2 confirmed dead s-9 boards I just mailed second one to colorado.

So  I have four full s-9's and two two board s-9's


I would load an s-9 but I need really good instructions  as if I am a complete moron screen shots easy easy easy peasy.

if fubly is native german speaker we need a guy that speaks reads and writes  both english and german really well

as my german is of the        Eins zwei drei   quality  Grin     two years in high school forty-three years ago.

I want to do like 10 screen shots of the loading of the software.

I would use 1 board and 1 controller.

okay this is looking like a good deal is happening .


I will open an address for funding  give me a few minutes.


Let me check that this address works.

Do not deposit into it until I test it.


https://blockchain.info/address/16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9





16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9


okay it is setup the test was a .01 btc deposit.

this is going into my coinbase account.

I am trying a different method of collecting funds.

when you deposit your donation please post here with your tx id

also please use a btc addy you control .  this means an addy you can sign in case we refund

@fubly outstanding job!   Thanks for getting it done so quickly as well.

@phil it's not like the controllers go bad.  Most time it's the hash boards and they wouldn't have a clue that software was changed nor could they prove it.  They could say look at this thread but ehhh their warranty is crap anyway.  I'm going to change both of mine.  I don't figure I ever had a warranty.  Hell they still never sent the parts I ordered from their bitmainwarranty site.  27$ I figure they must need it more then I. 

Great job guys.  I'll send my btc to ya Phil @lunch if you have a addy by then

@fubly will the interface still work correctly i.e. Status page and also what about change frequency?

Best Regards

Agreed - I need a copy of the goods and test it on my S9s pointed to Kano at my ISP.

We should have a "x" week testing period .... like a UAT format.

Need to also test the cgminer 4.9.2 APIs so that the miner/farm monitoring system is working.

I think at the end of the day, Mr Kolivas needs to endorse this new 4.9.2 and Kano's feedback on the pool, so that it will be business as usual.

yeah  I certainly do want Kano and CK to say this is a good mod.


also my batch 10 may or may not take the mod. as I understand the 10 and newer are a little different then the 1 to 9 or 1 to 8.

Since I have 5 older models if all goes well I would certainly want this .

So we have some details that have to be done. before we distribute all the coin collected.

below is donation address.

https://blockchain.info/address/16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9

note that is my coinbase account but it is a dedicated address so all into it would be funds for this.

So Kano and CK need to sound off on build
we need some older batch 1-9 loaded to tested.
we need some newer batch 10 and up to be tested.

Someone has to hold my hand like a kindergarten kid to help me load my s-9's.

I am only so so loading software.  Maybe like a  C or C+
I do not want to pass this software and pay and it crashes and or a lot of people brick gear.

@ fubly thanks for doing work I am sure a lot of people will use this.

yeah  I certainly do want Kano and CK to say this is a good mod.


also my batch 10 may or may not take the mod. as I understand the 10 and newer are a little different then the 1 to 9 or 1 to 8.

Since I have 5 older models if all goes well I would certainly want this .

So we have some details that have to be done. before we distribute all the coin collected.

below is donation address.

https://blockchain.info/address/16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9

note that is my coinbase account but it is a dedicated address so all into it would be funds for this.

So Kano and CK need to sound off on build
we need some older batch 1-9 loaded to tested.
we need some newer batch 10 and up to be tested.

Someone has to hold my hand like a kindergarten kid to help me load my s-9's.

I am only so so loading software.  Maybe like a  C or C+
I do not want to pass this software and pay and it crashes and or a lot of people brick gear.

@ fubly thanks for doing work I am sure a lot of people will use this.
I think fubly's branch it's quite a ways from being mergeable with mainline cgminer, his changes needs to be re-based on top of -ck's master branch first and cleaned up a lot.

I'd say the best metric for it being completed would be to have it go through code review and get merged into mainline cgminer.

I am very good at a lot of IT  ,but not code.

So we will use the boards talented members to determine how good this is.

Mean while  we have collected .51 btc

.01 from me ---- I need to put in 95 usd more.
.25 from NotFuzzywarm --------- Fixed it

yeah I am aware of this and this concerns me a lot.

Also I know the 10 and up batch is missing the bbb or is different in some way then batches 1 to 9.

Could be it won't take the mod.

So you are far from being an A$$

Pretty sure at least for bmminer/cgminer hardware batch doesn't matter, the firmware version however might need to be a particular version to be compatible.

Now I change the diff from 63645 to 9347.

I think it is now working really stable.

Now I make a new build with updated Api. I will report later the output of:

bmminer-api -o version
bmminer-api -o stats
bmminer-api -o
bmminer-api -o pools

The source included the latest addition on api.c
      root = api_add_uint32(root, "Current Block Height", &(pool->current_height), true);
      uint32_t nversion = (uint32_t)strtoul(pool->bbversion, NULL, 16);
      root = api_add_uint32(root, "Current Block Version", &nversion, true);

Note! The source will be updated later!

And thx for the donations atm.

You will get a very readable source. And an absolut stable code and binary.

Love to see this happening for all the reasons listed in this thread.  Definitely want to see this working as part of the main cgminer trunk rather than only on a fork.

I have both a batch 9 and batch 13 S9 that I might be able to help test with.  They are hosted so it depends on what the update and testing process will involve since I only have remote access to the web interface.

Willing to put my money where my mouth is so I sent 0.25 BTC to the escrow account:

hi together,

now, after some hours I saw enough, to say as higher the diff as higher the hashrate, but if this is also only a luck. I don´t know.

Here is the screenshot for the next diff test.

Great work here. Thanks for your efforts.

I would also like to see this working on kano.is since that is where I mine exclusively.

Thanks!

Great that this is rolling. Im a noob when it comes to compiling cgminer and have to trust that someone is better than me. I do have batch 1 S9`s and later batches as well. 14TH and 12.93TH versions.
Im willing to try it out as well and point it at KANO to see the results. Hopefully -CK and KANO will back-up this project and give it a heads-up with a green light, since this really shows what community is all about.

Thanks Phillipma1957 for your efforts and helping me bringing this project to life. Thanks as well to Fubly for his hard work cracking this nut.

besides testing successfully I am looking for kano and ck to bless this so to speak.

Going from 1 hidden code to a new hidden code   sounds like "meet the new boss same as the old boss".

I am very good at holding funds and paying them fairly.
I am good at a lot of gear stuff.
I am not a good or even okay coder.

I mention this over and over in the thread simply because I don't want 1.56btc so far to be paid and the code is hidden like bm miner is.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but that's unlikely for either of us. We already briefly posted our issues on this thread but no one seemed to respond to our criticism and we didn't want to rain on fubly's parade when everyone is excited by it so did not push the issue further. If you want to move forward with his code and give him the bounty, you're on your own on deciding whether you're happy or not.

-ck as I recall Fubly said that this CGminer 4.9.2 should fulfill the GPLv3 license...
I really do not hope I smell some kind of "We are the only ones" kind of thingy Huh
I look through the whole thread again and I cant find any issues re. Fubly having no intentions to fulfill the GPLv3 license. If I got this wrong, please correct me.
I thaught, you and KANO as the last persons ever, would kill a community project, making a lucked product open for everyone and get rid of Bitmain`s BMminer who broke the GPLv3 license ?
Sad, really sad

I never said anything about GPL - that's Kano's concern about fubly's other project and how that code is being applied here.
Read my comment about driver changes. Porting cgminer is only half the work

Ok, I got that we are not all the way to the goal yet, but from saying you wouldn't give it a green light when finished to saying that some work still have to be done, is a huge difference.
What is needed to make you even consider this project to get to the finish line ? You know that this project is to get rid of Bitmains way of treating us all ?

Everyone is welcome to bring in ideas. But to begin with, the intention of this Bounty is to make a complete open CGminer v. 4.9.2 according to the GPLv3 license.
That means that we are loyal to the work done by other community members and their hard work. First goal is to keep the miner GUI as is, but replace the BMMiner crap with CGminer 4.9.2, so if you can bring something to the table, please do !

As I have already posted a number of times ...
fubly is a scammer.
His magic way he posted how his miner version was 16% faster:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1452009.msg14698985#msg14698985
The missing image from that post:
https://www.schulminator.com/sites/default/files/wiki/wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung-bernoulli-wahrscheinlichkeit.PNG

His git fails the cgminer GPLv3 due to hiding code.
I've no idea why anyone would think I would put any support behind someone scamming and breaking the cgminer license ...

Outing Me and telling you now, why I had done this:

I will edit this atm. Stay tuned!


On November or December I asked the community if they want a new firmware, after a short time I had many support (I thought)
some big players offered me to support me and blind as I was I started and thrust them.

The deal was, the same like here, but without any escrow nor nothing.
Make the work, give me the source and I/we will pay you for, publish the work at Github and all is fine!

I was working on this firmware about 1750 hours, I had for 3 month not on cent income nor nothing. After releasing my firmware they all shit me direct into my face!

Now I am pissed off about these guys.

I think the pressure on me SCAMER is now high enough to release also my unpaid work on cgminer 4.9.2. (for Bitmain Antminer S7!)

I will do this within the next 96 hours, if this is ok for you. And please, do not pm me and ask who are this guys.
You all know about how bad some people are on this forum, and yes also me from a point/position/place without
knowing all these shit what happened to me and my family.

I'm so sorry.

fubly

p.s. I some of this guys reading this and fool now bad:

i understand but the question is who will receive bounty?
for example: two ppl completed the task, what criteria would be used to select the winner?

Thanks!
I also mine Kano.is and would like to see some test as well. Phil mines Kano as well.
Ditto. I'm Fuzzy there and ever since EMC finally ran out of steam early this year all HP is pointed kano.is as pool 0, their 80 port as fail-over pool1 and lastly have Antpool as fail-over 2.

Glad to see Xircom willing to point some of his serious presence on Kano to test.

Query: Anyone know if Bitmain is playing around with the string voltage vs batches? Just a thought to add.

Dear Kano,

I did not stop working after 3 month. Working on firmware does not mean working only on cgminer.

Dear Community,

If you send  the bounty to the people who build cgminer 4.9.2, do it. I have no problem with that.

If you want to donate to the Cgminer Developer Team, do it here: 15qSxP1SQcUX3o4nhkfdbgyoWEFMomJ4rZ

I am a scammer, and please never trust a scammer. Kano, is that what you want to here from me now?

Within the next 60 minutes you can download the full source of a fully working Cgminer 4.9.2 for Bitmain's Antminer S9

here: https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-master/

p.s. and the Api output is looking atm like this:

But to begin with, the intention of this Bounty is to make a complete open CGminer v. 4.9.2 according to the GPLv3 license.
That means that we are loyal to the work done by other community members and their hard work. First goal is to keep the miner GUI as is, but replace the BMMiner crap with CGminer 4.9.2, so if you can bring something to the table, please do !
i understand but the question is who will receive bounty?
for example: two ppl completed the task, what criteria would be used to select the winner?
Or the criteria in general to issue the bounty.  Can we agree on a clear list of criteria that when met, the bounty will be paid.  For example:
  • Open source, meeting all GPL requirements.
  • Directly part of the main trunk (like the older bitmain support)
  • Easy install/remove scripts/instructions.
Feel free to add to the list (or remove items).  This list is my vote for what its worth. Smiley

I  certainly want this to be a 'real'

open coded cgminer 4.9.2

Not a black box program with hidden codes.

We have collected 1.56btc as of now.

https://blockchain.info/address/16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9

So this is not an earth shattering amount of coin.

 I am qualified to hold the coin and make sure it is either refunded or  paid out.

I can also run the new software on an s-9 on various pools.

But I can not say it is following rules of copyright so to speak.  We do have people here that can say it is a good cgminer 4.9.2

As for fubly  doing wrong in the past  I frankly don"t know if he did.  I also would not care if he was wrong last year if this code is not wrong.

I separate  a persons actions.  ie people can go from good to bad or bad to good.  along with staying all bad or staying  all good.

So if this work on this job is good it should be treated as such. A stand alone piece of work.

If this is bad work then so be it.

I will close with two examples:

  avalon did bad 3 years ago and hurt people in btc.  they have been pretty good since then I do business with them.

dz co-op  was good then bad and now is on the west coast (as an it data center)   I avoid them for now.

If qualified people tell me this is a closed hidden program  from fubly  I can't do the escrow.  I would offer to let those that put in  to pay or be refunded.

If kano and ck tell me this is bad like older work What am I left to do here?

The point of this was to have an approved  cgminer 4.9.2  not  a unapproved cgminer 4.9.2

Ja I agree that fubly's work on what is essentially a rehash of ASICboost on skimming through is sorta, 'Old news so why?".Those behind the marketing of it is... Well weird and again, 'Why?". However I get his point of being promised remuneration for the work on applying ASICboost to the s7. I assume the Players involved gave input to what they wanted to see and he did it. After that well...

Anywho, to me, what I mainly care about is that what parts of the source code of this work that by and large is built on CGminer be available on Github. In short, be able to verify just where the hash is going  when it is loaded on a clean and bare-bones as possible OS (no possibility of periodic point to shadow pools or other nefarious back door access). The public must be able to sort through the code being loaded. Now as to how this work communicates with the ASIC's... If the Driver remains closed source, well fine. Just provide the binaries needed for free be they for 'ux, MAC, or Win so possibly something other than Bitmains controller might be used to talk to the hash boards..

Am I right that pretty much as always the closed code so far is the driver interface between CGminer and the ASIC's? In a lot of the chip dev threads I've perused I recall that almost being a Constant sore spot.

Dear Community,

I have published at moment the full source code on github.
https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-master

At the folder "binaries", you will find this files and these are the MD5Sum's:

MD5-Sum                                            Binary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
9001a9853e86acc67e40f09969abbf45   bmminer-api
-----------------------------------------------------------------
8230fdac00385e6196b27862ccc656ff    bmminer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
463d5d149f4c177db5a22655b2bc816d  restoreConfig.sh
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The upgrade script you find at the folder "update-script"

Note: run this script after review the code, make your changes or what ever you want.
Do not forget after changes to update the md5sum and run this script at first from your ssh shell for testing
before upgrading 100 Miners.

For those which want to build it from source, please read the build.md


If you only want to  test the binaries just login to your miners ssh console:

root@your_miner_ip

Username: root
Password: admin

enable ftp support by:

opkg install http://feeds.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/v2013.06/ipk/eglibc/armv7ahf-vfp-neon/base/openssh-sftp-server_6.1p1-r3.4_armv7ahf-vfp-neon.ipk


login with

username: root
password: admin

transfer the file to the folder /usr/bin

do not forget to move the original files

mv /usr/bin/bmminer /usr/bin/bmminer-old
mv /usr/bin/bmminer-api /usr/bin/bmminer-api-old

restart your mining software by this way:

/etc/init.d/bmminer.sh restart

and
 
screen -r

to view what happened

To leave the screen session hold "CTRL" and type "a" and then "d"

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

He mined on kano.is and got really lucky for a short period of time finding blocks.
He then used that story of luck to try and scam people saying he was lucky due to implementing changes in cgminer and people should buy his firmware that was 'better' ... ... ...

His final stats on kano.is, however, show that his magic luck totalled less blocks than expected
Code:

 0.758867 | fubly | 9.77543827 BDR | 8 B
So his BDR was 9.775 blocks but only found 8 blocks.
That's nothing unexpected, as the CDF[Erl] shows, but certainly to his advantage, not the pool's.

Yeah but you missed out some things there ...
1) Yeah I have an entire thread on the subject between me and the git who was running things there and caused it (and I also made clear I didn't want to have or support the first avalon)
2) Much later (and a later miner version) the person I know at avalon offered me an avalon miner. My first question, was simply to ask if the git was still there, part of avalon any more. He said no. I said yeah ok that would be great then, I'd love to have an avalon Smiley
3) Bitmain offered me an S9. I said no I don't want it.

I have wrote in this thread one more then one post that I do not want to support a cgminer 4.9.2 that you do not above.
If you are taking the position that fubly needs to remove the ASICBoost

  corrected to : " ...So the fact that a git still violates the cgminer license means nothing to you I gather..."

 in order to get your approval here and fubly is taking the position he won't remove it I simply can't be the escrow for this  as my position that I won't distribute the prize to a non approved cgminer 4.9.2 won't work.

I collected 1.56 btc of which .01 was my tester for the new address.

We have four people that put in .25 btc and one person that put in .55 btc .




I am going to ask the five donators to take back their funds and have someone else be the escrow.


1) Xircom

Paid: 0.55 BTC to 16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9

https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/1a9fd9ac65a36a44802c06b11154250a4cd5bcd703393cd8d81af7ad5d09c2a1

2) citronick
Paid: 0.25 BTC to 16PP93e8tL1QuM7eoGNvLGtdfvHw5rAcd9

https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/6755abe723748811d426d840f9ebb613a367a8f299efaa1819c24be11663f1ac

3)d57heinz
  
0.25 btc sent.
  https://blockchain.info/tx-index/f8e425b7896c862158de9d69219a72503e8d8a3d1cce094029004e64d12b9841
  
4) NotFuzzyWarm
 0.25btc donated to the above address for the Bounty escrow
https://blockchain.info/tx/3caef675ffe8276e9c5f7a5baca974cd9b18a9be9288bf9beecebcc9471dd010

5) darval
0.25
https://blockchain.info/tx/ab6662e1afdb29923f0a09ec03c5edb0f99e5961a232f340af96540111c1d399

please contact me  and I will refund to you.


My position is very simple if ck and kano tell me it is a no go  I am not escrowing.

and since kano states  the fubly's prior violation is active right now  and directly violates  the cgminer license  I can not distribute  funds to him.

Since it would not be the same as bad turning to good.  It would be a bad still existing . side by side with a good.

So the five above can do what they want with the coin they put in I will send it to them.

So :

Xircom----------- please give me a refund address   .55 due
citronick---------- please give me a refund address  .25 due
d57heinz--------- please give me a refund address  .25 due
NotFuzzyWarm---please give me a refund address  .25 due
darval ------------please give me a refund address  .25 due


make sure to post addresses here so I can show payment to them.



@ kano and ck  my intentions were to right a wrong not make  a new one.

it looks like fubly    is somewhat like Luke of bfgminer in a way.

So since I am not a code guy  and can not fully analyze the code I bow to your position that fubly is currently violating cgminer as I type.

Dear Kano,

I do not know what you want now?

Can you write it here:

01. Publish the source - done (since march 2016) - I was starting a pull request for the bitmain-S7 driver, but I never heard from you
02. ?
03. ?
04. ?
05. ?
06. ?
07. ?
08. Sh.. on fubly (send me a ticket and you can do it with live stream)
09. Using the word sh.. 10 x per line
10. ?

What is the different of a hole firmware and one program like TAR?

Hmm what is the different of MinToRRo and CGminer ? It is the same like above!


On MinToRRo I was developing some features and services OUTSIDE of cgminer, this features are controlling the fans.
For example a quick cooling function.
My own development! Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

Also developed feature for changing CGMINER.CONF for 1000's of miners within seconds (on your farm)
Can I sell this! Yes I can and I do, ohh before you mark now 1000's I mean millions, so mark millions!

Also I developed a perfect way for NEVER Rebooting your Miner.
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature for communicating over https with your miner.
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature for watching the hashrate and restart or reloading the miner software / hole hardware driver
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature for direct access to the hole cgminer.conf and change and set what ever the user want, and not what Bitmain want.
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I figured out how I can manipulate the Asic Board by using other timeouts so that death core suddenly starts working again.
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!
ps. that is that feature where you mean that I am a scammer (some posts above) Your problem on this case is, that you and I believe many other also
do not know how the driver controls the hardware driver .ko file.

I figured out how we can manipulate the voltage of the controller board over cgminer.conf
I developed a feature to shot it to the conf
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature to enable Autoworker / MAC or IP
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature for checking a PV-Generator - Solaredge to watch if there is enough power to start the miner!
https://monitoringpublic.solaredge.com/solaredge-web/p/site/public?name=Zwilla#/dashboard
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

For this I developed a feature for switching the miner over Powerline - Power-Plug (AVM) on and off
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature for checking the BTC markets
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I paid 1BTC to cryptogance team to use their code (90% for css) than I was changing 99,98 % of the old code
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I figured out how it is possible if the hardware driver hangs and a restart won´t help to get the miner back without reboot.
I developed this feature!
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I figured out how to free memory on the miner, I developed this feature and build an automatic function which frees it every minute
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a feature to review every file on your config folder and download the block if you find one to review it
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

I developed a function which send you a email if this or this happens
Can I sell this? Yes I CAN and I do!

and so on.

I implemented cgminer 4.9.2 (download function) into MinToRRo-Firmware (user can choose: Using 4.8.0 one or 4.9.2)
Can I sell this function? Yes I CAN and I do!

One Point - Not publishing the source for cgminer 4.9.2 - yes that was not ok, now you know why I was not doing this.
But you post shows me that you are absolut pitiless.

All these features are implement into MinToRRo you can control as many machines you want.

Let me guess! You give a sh.. on this. I think you will never change your mind.

p.s. can you tell me how are tracking continuously my ip address and blocking my from kano pool.

Thats the reason why I cant show the stats on kano.is. But now you all have the code and test it by your self.

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

In order to proceed with this or any other venture in regards to the S9 I would agree that requirements need to be declared upfront on how we would measure success and qualification for payment.

Here are some items to consider for the requirements wishlist:

- Must be open source so that future changes or enhancements are possible from the community at large. No hidden or closed source code. I would not support a one time change in which we are locked with no options.

- Must be able to restore the S9 back to stock using the original code from Bitmain.

I would also propose that any member who contributes have the ability to vote yes or no to release their funds for payment. Also to consider and decide is this an all or none vote in regards to payment of reward. Should we consider the option of a partial payment under the appropriate conditions.

Yet to be determined is how will we evaluate the code to validate it meets our requirements. My ability closely matches that stated by philipma1957 and I do not have the skills or ability to effectively examine and / or validate code.

I think it is only fair to determine the requirements in advance and prior to accepting any potential submissions of code.

My two cents worth. Hopefully we can come up with something workable as we move forward, if that is possible at this point. I am still interested in improvements on the S9 and willing to contribute the funds I previously committed to this project.

His git fails the cgminer GPLv3 due to hiding code.


And now?

Is it ok now? You where posting that before I was publishing the final source.

I understand my work by this way:

Make the work, send the binary to a tester, send the code to any other person, wait for a feedback, get the bounty.

If not how do you explain me this:

People who donates will be the ones to get the firmware for the S9`s first before firmware is published

For this I am right, and Kano = false, because that what he saw at date=1472769930 was a not fully published code!!!


Can any other confirm that the binary I published is the same as compiling the code.

Philipma1957 I respect that you do not want to stay between two chairs (ger. to eng.)

Has the dust settled on this case?

Can I use this new firmware on kano pool?

If cannot.... then WHY?

Would I be worried if this bounty gets stuck and new firmware not usable at kano pool?
The answer is YES. Guys, this is a serious matter.
My mining operations has a P&L and I am answerable to my investors and business partners.

FACTS:
0. bmminer 1.0 is shit and needs to be replaced
1. Bounty is real and fluby took the job.
2. Work has been done and final testing.
3. Published as per Github and GPL.
4. Almost all members here is not all, will be pointing to kano pool.

Whats the problem?

I am sorry if I am too direct, and may offend others, because I may not have all privy information.

But after reading the posts today, I am very upset and uncomfortable at a possible situation where this new code may not be usable in kano pool and forced to mine somewhere else.

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

if you want I will refund you and you can send directly to fubly

post me a refund btc addy.

I will be refunding NotFuzzyWarm  and I am awaiting   the other donators to check in here.

It seems Kano's position is Fubly is currently  in violation of cgminer and that this 'fix' for the s-9 is also in violation .

   I am not a lawyer so I am not qualified to make judgement on that, but I won't escrow funds that are going to be used  to pay for code that the author's of cgminer  do not approve of since I could be considered aiding the violation of cgminer.

Plus My position has always been  I send funds for a code that ck and kano approve of.

I do not know all the info behind the curtains on this.

But funds will be refunded to all 5 donors.  They can do as they please with funds.  Maybe they can ask ck and kano via pm for more info.

Are you all blocked to? Like me, from kano pool?

Test it please on solo.kano.

Or test it on a 1:1 copy of ckpool - poolsoftware.

Or test it on mining-lottery.eu:3333

WARNING! Do not mine on my private closed pool!

Just put my pool on pool2 and check if your miner can connect? If you saw DEAD then the pool did not accept your mining client.

I have switched now my miner from slush to my own and closed mining pool (ckpool) and it works.





I don´t understand kano, really.

After Bitmain released S9 everyone was able to mine with stolen and hidden cgminer code by bitmain.
Now the source is open and no one can mine with this new version on kano.is.

I mean kano.is and not on ckpool-software, because I was running my own private closed pool based on the latest ckpool software.

I think now it time kano, to tell all people here that you are blocking hmm their IP´s or blocking the clients signature.

Please try to mine on solo. And you will see that ckpool software is able to let you mine!

Dear philipma1957,

please make an end and refund the donators, please.

If anyone want to donate he can do it directly to this address: 16L45ub3SpHZ6dYbqseip7Fv4BEJSj9xEo

Every donator, will get a full qualified invoice because we have to pay taxes for every coin we get.

For this pm us your full address to send the invoice about your donation.

I think for the next bounty which will created for any work on cgminer core, we have to ask the developer team before
about all restriction and all what the bounty-developer has to do.

On this thread the work order was simple to understand. But now after all work is done, it looks like the game as I did on
cgminer 4.9.2 for S7.

Working hard, publish the code, send the binaries, send screenshots, send data form ssh screen aso....

What we all do here with bitcoin is writing history, I will be proud to show my children 2025 what we where talking about.
And what we all have done!

But posts with every line "Shit" "Fuck" "Porn" "Scam" "Drugs" and so on. I shame myself!!!!

Im pissed and uncomfortable as well Citronic  Angry
I do understand and respect that the license has to be kept and we do not want any more hidden "bull" in any miner versions. Thats one of the reasons why KANO or -CK should go through the code and give it a green light.
I think Fably learned a lesson as I see it and tries to get rid of the shit he did with the other case Kano and him is discussing, so from my point of view, it is very childish whats going on.

I do understand Phillipma1957 is redrawing the Bounty BTC adress, but all this could be a good case if every body was willing to work together. I too did take the drastic way and moved my hardware away from KANO and it hurts BIG time....I do not accept if someone feels like they owe something or someone.
Still respect KANO and -CK a lot for the work they do, but putting bumps on the road for others is not the way.
Im very dissadpointed.
Citronic, send a PM if you want to point you farm to another reliable pool running CK software.

I would like to see a comment from KANO or -CK

My intentions were to be helpful  and this has turned very sideways.

As I see this kano's pointof view  is fubly is actively in violation with the older posted git and this new cgminer is in violation due to hidden files

And my understanding of laws protecting software are too limited to be of value here.

Since I do not knowing aid in software violations I am refunding all escrow funds.

I would like to see a comment from KANO or -CK
I never passed judgement on the GPL violation issue because I never looked at fubly's previous project(s) (but I've heard all about it from Kano.) All I was suggesting was that the S9 driver be ported to master cgminer and inherit the fixes that were put into the S1/2/3 drivers - diff up what changes went from S3 to S9 and work that way instead of porting the core cgminer code to their fork. The issue with bitmain's fork is both the core cgminer code and their driver. High CPU usage, throwing away shares, getting best share wrong, massive wasteful work queues that add to latencies are the things I recall off the top of my head. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do the driver myself so I would welcome anyone from the community doing it; don't think I'm singling out fubly.

As for not working on Kano's ckpool I don't think that's anything to do with fubly's code since he can mine on solo ckpool. His actions may have put him on an IP blacklist for kano.is in the past (which may say something in itself.)

I would like to see a comment from KANO or -CK
I never passed judgement on the GPL violation issue because I never looked at fubly's previous project(s) (but I've heard all about it from Kano.) All I was suggesting was that the S9 driver be ported to master cgminer and inherit the fixes that were put into the S1/2/3 drivers - diff up what changes went from S3 to S9 and work that way instead of porting the core cgminer code to their fork. The issue with bitmain's fork is both the core cgminer code and their driver. High CPU usage, throwing away shares, getting best share wrong, massive wasteful work queues that add to latencies are the things I recall off the top of my head. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do the driver myself so I would welcome anyone from the community doing it; don't think I'm singling out fubly.

As for not working on Kano's ckpool I don't think that's anything to do with fubly's code since he can mine on solo ckpool. His actions may have put him on an IP blacklist for kano.is in the past (which may say something in itself.)

Thanks for speaking out -CK.
 
I do understand that Fubly did a mess and violated the GPL and for sure this is not acceptable in any way at all. Fubly would not be any better than Bitmain, but.... Always a but, now when we know that, the BMminer is pure crap, aint a good idea to let some skilled people do the work for the Bounty? When you or KNAO do not have the time to make the drivers, do you think Fubly could do this?
The only thing the community is asking (Quite a job, I know) is to read through the FUBLY firmware a give it a green light, since we would not accept any bull regarding the CGminer 4.9.2 and GPL License and frankly, I do not no crap about where to look  Tongue
It would help all of us that is stuck with Bitmain crap and a violated miner and even make the KANO.IS run as the most effective pool?

@fubly outstanding job!   Thanks for getting it done so quickly as well.
 

Great job guys.  I'll send my btc to ya Phil @lunch if you have a addy by then

@fubly will the interface still work correctly i.e. Status page and also what about change frequency?

Best Regards
d57heinz

Status page it looks atm like above

change frequency

Did you not have an advanced menu to change this? On my batch I have this window.

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

here's my view:

kman & ck good guys, helped community lots & they do keep an eye out on many crypto related stuff out there especially on cgminer part.

fubly, i;d say he is a good coder BUT he did violate the GPL earlier with s5/s7 thingy that he re-coded or invented BUT he DID NOT ask any permission from cryptoglance to use or MODIFY the software i know because i was the one who informed cryptoglance team + kman & later fubly sorted it out with CG.

There was definitely something fubly hid from the public & was NOT being honest in the earlier days & starting to charge to for his "modified" version of cgminer & CG but did not ask any permission to do so, so i'd say there's some dishonesty out there & at times he was being a little hard headed.

there is NO way that you can just by manipulating a software to gain or to improve mining speed without "touching" or modding externals such as the capability to increase voltages from the PSU say from 12V to 12.5V !!! well s7 with 45 chips version has a dc-dc converter & the ONLY known way to mod the voltages is by reprogramming/modding the HW such as PROVEN work by sidehack ! so by this in fubly's earlier thread & such claims I am totally not convinced at all & have put him into my scam list !

back to this bounty thing, fubly did what he tried to do & we do see some results & progress, would he have done it putting "X" amount of non-stop work if there was no bounty offered ? well idk, like i said he is good coder & made some changes & a little more honest this time, published many things but not all though.

kman & ck is just sticking to the GPL & prolly some personal & fair opinions.

to those who want to use the "cracked" bmminer by fubly go ahead those who thinks it is NOT right/safe to do so then stick to what is working that's ain't broken !

like i mentioned earlier, without doing anything the s9 is fragile & breaks down by itself !

some who flashed to upgrade the original fw by BMT bricked !

so it is entirely up to you s9 owners out there. i'm using original bmminer & i can mine anywhere freely.

i would support this if there are blessings from the creators.

fubly, you do not have to tell/prove to others how much work you've out in or how hard you work non-stop, the community knows & they can tell ! even before you have any +ve results or you telling how hard you've worked, the bounty was already there.

be nice, play nice, be HONEST & respect each other & you WILL get what you deserve !

ya ya, bla bla bla, just my honest 2 cents worth.

High CPU usage?! This looks normal atm.
S9 uses a more powerful controller than the old hardware if I'm not mistaken.
The S9 uses an Altera Cyclone V SOC.  This is a dual arm a9 hard core processor so yes, it has tons of CPU power for what it is doing. Smiley

Dear Community,

I deleted now all the code from github. I want to start from scratch.

The first thing I had to do is make a fork and then publishing there my code.

It is absolut clear and readable from everyone.


Let me go back to this point:

I have been watching this thread with high hopes that a working updated firmware with version 4.9.2 of cgminer will surface.

Still committed to sending BTC for the reward in the amount I promised once a working version is available and tested on an S9.

Thanks!

Same here i stand by my offer.. Thanks so much guys.  To hell with bitmain for not releasing this.  Karma is a mysterious beast.  Looking forward to avalon miners to come soon:).  And since bitmain clearly marketed these r4 for home miners then what did i buy when i bought the s9.. And if its datacenter only will they be honoring a trade in.. Ill happily trade three r4 that dont sound like a fighter jet for my 2 s9.  Ive never seen a company bite its own foot so many times within such a short period of time.  uffff

BR
Make sure whoever releases one, releases the full source code, otherwise you are in no better situation.
Fubly still hasn't released the full cgminer code for his hacks, he's hiding code and thus breaking the license.

And now someone of this thread- and bounty-community tells me this!

Dear Fubly!

Great idea, but stop working, it could be that you where working for nothing.
We ask the Developer Team Kano and -ck what you have to do, for not violating and GPL rules.


for example:
Dev-Team:

  • We accept only this way
  • you have to do this
  • do not this
  • and this and this and this
  • push that
  • fork this
  • rebase this
  • and so on
  • BREAK

Bounty-Donators:
  • Talk with the dev team and find the breakpoints
  • Also we need this
  • and that
  • and this function
  • and this option
  • and this service
  • and and and
  • BREAK

And every Function, Service, Button and so on, which follows after this BREAK is not acceptable to implement it also for free only to get the bounty.


Escrom-Team-Menber: (has absolute nothing todo with you phil)

  • start opening escrow address
  • collect the money
  • do not refund the collected money, until the dev team gives a 3 chances to fix a violation or what else
  • Red Light from the dev team, give the coder a chance to do fix it
  • for this the dev team has to tell what is wrong
  • Green light from the dev team - send the btc to the coder

Who makes the decision, I think only the dev team has the decision. And none else. Because for what stand the escrow.
For security that every party will get what they want.


Coder:
  • do all what the dev team want- to the point where is the BREAK
  • do all what the donators want - to the point where is the BREAK
  • and you will get the bounty


I think everyone has made here mistakes, but that is not the point.
I had a guilty conscience so I started my work and trust in what I was reading here.
For the next time we all know how it has to work.

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

so it is entirely up to you s9 owners out there. i'm using original bmminer & i can mine anywhere freely.

Has never happened with  my 23 x S9, that original software bricked miner.

has never happened does NOT mean that it'll NEVER happen & it has happened to few already.

basic rules, ain't broken DON'T fix it !

NON of my S9's board has failed on me "yet" & i hope it won't till it's EOL.

since u have 23 x S9 you did have some FAILED boards don't you ?

I run & operate a little more miners than you do tupsu. be nice , play nice Wink

This is not some new news, that i have 7 failed hashboards from S9 + one with only one X
+ one board with one X heal itself.

But I do not have any broken or "bricked"  S9 controllers.

I had some from S7, I bought a broken and sold seller a working controller against him broken one.
It was always a not working B.B.B.

Recently I needed a reset button several years ago for KNC Jupiters.
There has never been a need to press the reset button from any Antminer .

Some users need reset button  as soon as possible. Perhaps here lies the secret?

Your mining farm  may  be higher,  but a friend of mine has been mined more than 800 BTC  Grin

Everything in BTC depends on the right timing, not  FARM  size.

Well it's broken in that it's in violation of gpl. And since Kano ck are so bent out of shape about it I can't understand why they don't do something about it.  Put their money where their mouth is and force bitmain to open source the code or face a hefty fine.  Or is it that the gpl is a joke and no one actually ever does that?   Help me understand why you go on about this Kano and yet you do nothing about it.  Of course they are going to walk all over you if your all talk and no walk.  

Just my two cents


Phil just return to the address I sent it to you with.  I'm not home but it's the 1cyk or something to that effect

I agree.
If anything, file a complaint against Bitmain with the Federal Trade Commission (in the USA) or their equivalent in other countries. They can and very often will impose an import ban on anything that can be proven to violate Copyright. That will certainly get Bitmain's attention...

Can we collectively decide or poll on a consensus?

Put all the personal issues aside - and let's get a good win-win outcome.

Also, we need kano's feedback - I have not his latest post - I hope his feedback will be favourable.

If we cannot get our act together - it will only benefit Bitmain and the other pools.

We need to decide - YES or NO to the fork, and get back to business.

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

My point also Citronic. We need a comment from KANO here.
I want this damn BMminer to dissapear with all its fault as stated by -CK. It is only in all interest to get these damn S9`s working with Cgminer 4.9.2 so we get in control again.
In my point of view, Fubly is the guy who can make this happen with some guidense from Kano and -CK. The issue with bitmain's fork is both the core cgminer code and their driver. High CPU usage, throwing away shares, getting best share wrong, massive wasteful work queues that add to latencies are the things I recall off the top of my head

Could you do the consensus ? Im pretty sure most S9 owners would prefer to get the CGmiiner on their iron.
Im in all the way....

Tupsu, my friend. I got 2 dead controller boards (Changed by Bitmain) 2 dead IO boards (Changed by Bitmain) and 3 dead hash boards currently at repair at Bitmain. I have 20 S9`s and 100+ S7 and the S7 runs without hick-ups. The S9`s by the way is a costant monitorring hell. Needs power cycle, Needs restart, Change of data center fuses, constant blowout. Somehow only 1 S9 pr. 2880W server PSU seems to run. When connecting 2, the fuses blow ??
So for me it would be a relief to get Fubly to make the firmware for the S9`s

I say YES, damn YES!

High CPU usage?! This looks normal atm.
S9 uses a more powerful controller than the old hardware if I'm not mistaken.
S9 appears to use hardware/FPGA work generation unlike the previous bitmain miners which do it in software so low CPU usage is expected even on bitmain stock firmware.

Don't expect these issues to be fixed by replacing bmminer with cgminer, these issues are likely much lower level.

Bitmain skirt around the edges of legality with the GPL. You are obliged to provide code to any binaries you distribute within 30 days of being asked if someone has received those binaries and requested the source to them. Bitmain has always ended up releasing source code though it often takes longer than 30 days which is usually when Kano starts getting loud about them breaking the GPL - however if no one asks for the source code, and only those in possession of the binaries have that right, then they're not obliged to do anything. This is totally different to the fubly+cgminer+cryptoglance story which is the main complaint on this thread.

As for pursuing companies breaking the GPL through law, that takes money and internationally is close to futile when it comes to China. We're not big companies with big budgets to burn on lawsuits with only a borderline chance of success, and I doubt it will lead to any great recompense on our part should we win. But as I said, Bitmain eventually have complied.

Cost is why I suggest filing with the FTC. IF the gov thinks there is is a valid case they bear the burden of pursing it. If the infringement is as cut and dry as Kano et al say, then given the size of Bitmain's market I'd think the FTC and their counterparts in other countries would be very interested. Would certainly make for some nice headlines Wink

I know that will probably throw gas on the issue but: Anyone think that maybe BFGminer could run the s9 (or other Ants)?

We could be forced to try, if KANO and -CK decides to work against the community and I really would not like that outcome at all. I know jack if this is even possible, but I know that FUBLY is the guy who could and can rewrite the BMMiner and get us all the CGminer 4.9.2 for the S9.

I would rather have the CGminer 4.9.2 on the S9 instead of BFGminer...........but hey, anything is better than the BMMiner.

Does the FTC ever enforce copyright law? I thought it's up to individual copyright holders to enforce their rights.

And it's probably even less likely outside of the US.

I too would rather have the sw be based on CGminer. Mainly because that is what the miners already use which I'd think eliminates a ton of re-coding and the inevitable bugs that can pop up in doing it.

Just tossing out possible options for consideration if folks can't get together.

Cost is why I suggest filing with the FTC. IF the gov thinks there is is a valid case they bear the burden of pursing it. If the infringement is as cut and dry as Kano et al say, then given the size of Bitmain's market I'd think the FTC and their counterparts in other countries would be very interested. Would certainly make for some nice headlines Wink

Does the FTC ever enforce copyright law? I thought it's up to individual copyright holders to enforce their rights.
And it's probably even less likely outside of the US.
Yes, they do and generally like to publicize it if they can get Media attention. It is up to the copyright holders to file the complaint though and give reasonable proof of Harm.

Prime things in the past has usually been knock-offs of Designer items: clothes, accessories, watches, eyeglass frames, etc. or large Publishing Houses trying to stop un-contracted resale of books. Ya can see why the Media normally just yawns. Now something dealing with Bitcoin... Bingo!

Here is my mail to the developer of ASICBOOST: TIMO HANKE
It is in german, because he is a german! Try to translate it or wait for his response!


Hallo Timo,

folgender Thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1569129.160

Bereitet mit Kopfzerbrechen.

Ich bin auf eine / diese Bounty angesprungen und habe darauf vertraut, dass alle Ihr Wort halten.

Nun geht es um folgende Passagen hier:
https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/blob/master/driver-btm-c5.c

Dort hat man nun entdeckt dass dort wohl ein Verstoß gegen GPL statt gefunden hat.

Ich hätte folgende klare Ansage der Community:

Knacke den Bitmain Code, liefere Beweise, Software und funktionierende Binaries.

Habe ich gemacht. Aber nach dem Kano ein Entwickler von Cgminer nun die anderen überzeugen konnte, dass ich ein Scammer bin, habe  alle Ehrbaren Spender den Schw... eingezogen und selbst der Legendary Phill der den Escrow machte hatte alle regunded.

Auch auf meine Bitte hin.

Ich habe seit Dezember 2015 bis heute nahezu 2000 Stunden mit Hacking of Bitmain Firmware mich beschäftigt.

Ich erreichte hier den Grand Master Beat womit es ein leichtes war innerhalb 160 Stunden intensiver Arbeit an Assembler Code und dem Abgleich von Source eine perfekte Lösung zu finden.

Nun geht es darum, dass ich wohl den Asic Booster Code implementiert habe ohne es zu wissen.

Helfe mir bitte und schreibe den Idioten dort welch Idioten die doch sind.

P.s. nicht alle sind Idioten dort. Eine aber ganz gewiss: Kano

Danke dir vielmals

Also I had so say something with my language:

Mich wiedert das Ganze hier einfach nur an. Auf der einen Seite gibt es Idioten und auf der anderen Seite auch.
Ich komme mir von der ganzen Szene einfach nur verarscht vor.

Ich finde es toll wie weit nach oben es diese Sch... (kano's Lieblingswort) Konversation und diese Bounty es hier geschafft hat.

Auch finde ich super das hier einmal mehr gezeigt wird wie viel Wert alles hier ist. Einfach nichts! Kein Wort zählt, nichts wird vergeben
und niemand ist auch für nichts im Stande gerade zustehen.

Versucht man einmal etwas nutzvolles für alle zu kreieren, kommt einer hier her plögt laut hals hier herum, kano , ja Kano du bist hier gemeint.

Denn sonst niemand anderes als du ist der jene der alles hier versucht zu zerstören.
Und für alle die nicht mitschreiben / lesen konnten. Dieser Mensch kano ist leider jemand der etwas hat, was wir alle lieben. Phlegmatische und notorische Unzufriedenheit  äußert sich in den Worten Sch.... usw. und zwar ständig.

Er hat nie etwas positives beizutragen und niemals für irgendjemanden etwas gutes geschrieben. Immer nur schön sachlich oder dann der Gegensatz
gitantomanisch in der Umkehr.


Escrow? Hmm da lache ich einfach nur! Wie legandär muß man da sein, wenn man 1 von 2 nicht unterscheiden kann.
Warum haben wohl alle hier das Geld wieder genommen? Weil jeder seine Arsch am nächsten ist!!!!

Auf meinem Konto: 16L45ub3SpHZ6dYbqseip7Fv4BEJSj9xEo habe ich noch keine Cent gesehen von denen die bereit waren etwas zu spenden für meine Arbeit.

Aber, lieber Leser so ist nun eben Bitcoin einmal. Ein Netzwerk, gefüllt mit Betrügern und solchen die es gerne werden möchten.

Wenn ich mit meinem Bänker über Bitcoin rede ist das erste: "Kommt Ihr erst einmal aus der Illegalen Schiene heraus und dann können wir weiter reden"

Blah Blah Blah.

Zurück zur Belohnung / Bounty.

Der Auftrag war in einem Satz formuliert! Knacke den BMMiner, veröffentliche den Code und gebe uns valide binaries.

Aber so ist es halt mit öffentlicher Hinrichtung: "Alle schauen gespannt zu wie köpfe rollen".

Vertrauen, diesem Forum! Nein auf keinen Fall niemals. Selbst die Moderatoren manipulieren hier posts von Mitgliedern
(siehe ein paar Seiten zu vor als ein Moderator meinen Post verändert hat, weil ich etwas nicht in die CODE Klammern gesetzt habe)

Am liebsten würde ich ein Forum entwickeln, welches ausschließlich mit signierten Nachrichten arbeitet. Da gäbe es solche Veränderung nicht mehr, bzw. währen nicht mehr möglich.

Ich bin hier nicht fertig! Ich mal eine Kippe rauchen und komme wieder

I know that will probably throw gas on the issue but: Anyone think that maybe BFGminer could run the s9 (or other Ants)?

Luke: Use the Force....

now  that is a tanker full of gas to be tossing about.



At d57heinz  I will refund you the

this is address correct?

So all funds are refunded.
I hope this gets fixed in a good way.  But It is beyond my skill set to do this.

Dear Mister X,

I saw my mission on make the world smarter, and I do not need any cent on the rest of my life, because all I need / I have!!!

And all of this is for free! Love, love and love !


I will now split the community into many parties. Those who believe bitcoin can make the world smarter and those who trust on a blockchain!

But all feedback I get on this single thread is Kano's: Shit on this and shit on that and shit on him and shit here and shit happens around the world and shit is everywhere.

It is nearly impossible to squeeze out of kano what he want! He forgot that also his work is only a fork of cpu miner and nothing else!

If he believe that all what he did on cgminer is the GrandMasterFlash beat he fails, the time goes on and on and on!

The main thing, is something like Timo Hanke did "Asicboost" And yes now I know what it is and whats the problem.

The main problem is, that cgminer have to follow all GPL rules, but now after publishing a function like "Multi-Version"
and Asicboost by manipulating the Blockchain header and sending as many works to the asic`s he rethought his work
and remember the he is not a science man, he is only a coder. Which has done an absolute great work on cgminer for the hole world.

(I hope you understand my bad english) I'am a german Scammer asshole, which wants to be shitting from Kano direct into face via livestream!

Now we have reached a point to say "bye bye" to normal miner work and have to start a new idea! ASICBOOST!!!
SHA256 or SHA512 it doesn´t matter. Get smarter ! And we all know that Timo does not fail with his Idea!

But until Asicboost has not reached the proofed patent, we all can use this technique. And it do not violates against any law.
Let me build a EU-US Version without Asicboot and built one with (NONE-EU-US version) . Let me guess 99,999999% of all miners will use the NONE-EU-US version.


Within the next 120 hours I will pulish the next dimension of mining software. And yes you can hate me from now!

If the Bitcoin dev team tries to make a hard fork to block the Asicboost Idea you all know that only a handful guys
controll all bitcoins around the world! This action shows the bankers to not trust into Bitcoin but trust on any other controlled Blockchain.



Thx very much for talking with me.
I trust in God and believe on Blockchain!

WTF are you talking about, mining.multi_version(stratum nversion rolling) itself is largely just an implementation detail that makes Asicboost possible with pools and can probably lower controller resource usage even without Asicboost? I don't think you have any idea what Asicboost even is. Asicboost isn't implemented within bmminer(although bmminer is compatible effectively), it would be lower level.

Fubly, I do appreciate your effort. Although I have very little knowledge on cgminer and the rules attached. I'm a avid Kano miner and love his pool. I wish the two of you could get on the same page, whatever that page may be. I think it will help us little guys in the long run.

Here is the answer from Timo Hanke:

Ich verstehe fast nur Bahnhof. Für welchen miner Typ soll das der code sein? Ist das code von Con Kolivas wie in der Readme steht? Wenn der code öffentlich ist, wo ist dann die GPL violation? Wo gibt es einen Hinweis auf asicboost?


He say: I understand nothing, if you published (to the public) the code I can´t understand where there is a violation against GPL?


Dear Cgminer Dev Team,

this will be now my next steps:

  • make a fork of bitmaintech/bmminer
  • publishing my code
  • create a update script for S9 (bmminer to cgminer 4.9.2)
  • create a downgrade script  (cgminer 4.9.2 to bmminer)
  • collecting money for the bounty to this address: 16L45ub3SpHZ6dYbqseip7Fv4BEJSj9xEo

There is no need of any escrow, because I will publish the code direct for public, after testing and review you can donate what ever you want to me.

If you just want to make a donation to the developer team take a look to this page https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer or this https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer you will find there a donation address.


On this page https://www.zwilla.de/en/auctions/english-software/donation-product-for-changing-bmminer-into-cgminer-4-9-2/ I will published a donation product if you want to donate with paypal or btc. For this you will get a invoice on the fly.

Also you can make an offer - there is a button "make an offer" all value will be accepted which are at minimum 1% of 20 bucks.

And if you donate and not satisfied with the new code, let me know I will send you your donation back.
IF you send btc you will get btc back, you send fiat you get fiat back. The same amount.

I will publish the code this evening.

Well im thinking that Kano working on this would be a conflict of interest being as he is in tight with avalon.  Im sure they dont want him to jump on this nor does he want to bite himself in foot by helping us being as its for a bitmain miner.  I think getting kano approval even if its up to gpl standards is going to be a stretch on this one.  I think we are on our own folks.  My coin is still available if/when fubly pulls thru.

For the record I sent Fubly my original donation sans the tx fee pretty much as soon as it was returned from the escrow. Partly to support this effort and mainly to tick off Kano regarding his very biased attitude to the matter.

If that is how Kano views it (conflict of interest) he should be up front and say that.

We know how he feels about Bitmain in general. For that I can't blame him as they have been less than honorable towards GPL. Not mention that I doubt they ever donated to him for the software they use in their commercial product. But tie that to him working with Avalon and you get: no way in hell will it ever be approved by him.

So much for the idea of him accepting Community extensions to his software Wink

You clearly have no idea about GPLv3 or how to check if it has been adhered to.
... even though you seem to be making posts about that ...

I've posted in here a number of times and still some seem to not give a shit that fubly has broken the cgminer license with his previous version, and they want to support him in this version ...

Yes I am not surprised at that at all.
When people see something they want, they rarely care about copyright or licenses.
You all bought S9s from a company that ignored the GPLv3 license in cgminer in the past.
When they finally did post S9 source after when they said they would and after when the license required them to, I wonder if there is only 1 version for all the S9s out there?
Hopefully there is only one version, since Bitmain have only one version on the public git.
However I also know they changed it coz there was an early version that failed on ckpool ... but there's no sign of that change anywhere ... GPLv3 requires all versions that were released, not just one specific version.

Bitmain have done this before, but that never seems to stop people buying from Bitmain.
Copyrights and licenses are really of little interest to some ...

When fubly broke multiple licenses with his previous version, at least cgminer and CryptoGlance, I posted asking him where the source was.
His answer on the forum says it's here:
https://github.com/Zwilla/cgminer
So what is that?
A copy of my git, unedited.

It contains one pull request, that has never been applied.
The pull request contain lots of code removed from cgminer for drivers not used in the version, changes, some changes with comments suggesting it doesn't work, and a couple of empty files ... ... ... ...

Now there's nothing surprising about this with fubly coz ... as I've already posted here in this thread and explained it ... he's a scammer.

Ok, I got that we are not all the way to the goal yet, but from saying you wouldn't give it a green light when finished to saying that some work still have to be done, is a huge difference.
What is needed to make you even consider this project to get to the finish line ? You know that this project is to get rid of Bitmains way of treating us all ?

As I have already posted a number of times ...
fubly is a scammer.
His magic way he posted how his miner version was 16% faster:

His git fails the cgminer GPLv3 due to hiding code.
I've no idea why anyone would think I would put any support behind someone scamming and breaking the cgminer license ...

Both of you are ignoring what I've posted and decided to come up with some tinfoil crap about my interest in Avalon.
My interest in Avalon is coz they DON'T break the GPLv3 license requirements on cgminer ... unlike Bitmain.
Both have offered to send me hardware.
One keeps with the opensource GPLv3 license ... Avalon.

Aside: and for any of you here who haven't been around since 2012 ...
The first miner by Bitmain - the S1 - the whole software front end was copied from Xiangfu who did the Avalon version Smiley
To this day you still see Avalon code in the Bitmain firmware Smiley

I wonder if there is only 1 version for all the S9s out there?

I think yes it is only one version for all S9, because the different from one batch to the other's is the MHZ
this setting is made outside of source code. You can find this in cgminer-factory.conf.

There is nothing else what is different on cgminer.

Other differences are inside the frontend, some users report that they have a MHZ at advanced menu, other report that
there is no menu to change the mhz.

How ever all this differences are made outside of bmminer.



When fubly broke multiple licenses with his previous version, at least cgminer and CryptoGlance, I posted asking him where the source was.
His answer on the forum says it's here:
https://github.com/Zwilla/cgminer
So what is that?
A copy of my git, unedited.

It contains one pull request, that has never been applied.

If you click on github to the drop down "master" you will find a "Zwilla-patch-1". After I opened a pull request, I never heard from you
something, like : "Hi, what is this for? OR: What are you doing?". I had very much respect of you, that I did not ask or write you, because
on the very first pull request I had no idea how about GIT. And what are you thinking about?
For this I was working and working and working on Zwilla-pacht-1 and thought that you recognize my work on Patch-1. I was wondering that I was false
on my thought.

free programs, and that you know you can do these things. (comment: I saw here a point not a comma. Also I can´t find a BUT. (sorry I`m stupid Spanish/German))

Did I misunderstand something?

I can´t find the sentence "You have to publish the code on github". Sorry.

Now there's nothing surprising about this with fubly coz

What is coz?


About free version :
here is what I wrote to the german community:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1299240.msg13462277#msg13462277

I told the community, if they want a free copy, that they have to
  • put the software into the basket,
  • fill all required fields
  • click on check out with Paypal
  • on Paypal cancel the transaction
  • send me a email
  • I will give everyone a free version
  • If you want the source, send me a mail(*1)


Now there's nothing surprising about this with fubly coz ... as I've already posted here in this thread and explained it ... he's a scammer.

Your forgot where I told you and the community, why I believe that my patch will have more luck. Make your own mind and read this, please.

It is just a post to discuss and nothing more.

But, if I give a single core more time, before I get an error (timeout),
what mean that the input work on this core was for the ass.

OK?! Understand: -> TimeOut = Work for the Ass = on most cases Hardware Error = Bitmain definition.

And now?Huh I'am a liar? No !!! or YES Huh Make up your own mind.
 
But I say, think and believe that: AS lower the hardware error AS lower the work for the A AS higher the chance to find better shares AND AS lower the Hardware Errors AS higher the hashrate

But if I am wrong, then also Timo Hanke with Asicboost is wrong, read this white paper!

AND:
The performance gains can be achieved on top of all low­level optimizations regarding timing, pipelining, path balancing, custom cell and full­custom designs, etc.

Here you also can find that timeout and hardware errors (from where I had my ideas)

So ... the above, ignoring the first comment about bmminer, ... is 2 statements:

1) An excuse why there is no complete source for the previous version
2) A stupid false statement about how his previous version was faster

Umm ... I only came back and posted again coz certain people were making false statements about me ... I'm out of here (again) coz it's a waste of time reading and posting here.

P.s.
https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492
Try the software, and share your results here.


This here has nothing more to do with the bounty!!!! This is all after the BREAK!

Next Steps on cgminer new options.
Read this only if you also believe that a chip timeout effects better work.

I will implement now an external field for the timeout.

--timeoutC5

For that we can set this option (default: if unset = bitmain antminer S9 default).

You all know this:

oooooooo oooooooo xooooooo xooooooo oooooxoo oooxoooo oooooooo ooooooo

I will explain it:

o = good chip
x = bad chip

But what declares a GOOD and a BAD?

This:
Code:
if(dev->chain_asic_nonce[i][j]>avg_num)
                        {
                            dev->chain_asic_status_string[i][j+offset] = 'o';
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            dev->chain_asic_status_string[i][j+offset] = 'x';
                            error_asic++;
                        }

Question here: avg_num

The function: check_system_work, sets the avg_num value to zero at start, and then an

if (diff.tv_sec > 60) also to zero and then

inside a for

avg_num += dev->chain_asic_nonce[j];


I'm not finished with this post. I working on atm

Are you wondering if I told you that bitmain can control every miner?

If you want also to block them, just use the new version which is published right now.

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/build.md

I unset the function now.

If you wand deeper details take a look to the driver now!

https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/driver-btm-c5.c
and

I wonder if that has to do with Bitmain's "Control your miner via the Cloud" service that they used to link to on their site. Just looked and do not see it anymore offhand. The s9 does not have a GUI setting for it, I'll check some s7's at work manyana.

Think the S5 and s7 even have something in the GUI about setting access to that service.
AFAIK Bitmain never activated it. While definitely think it would be BAD idea to give Bitmain or subsidiary that access, I still tried a few times in the past to see what it was about.

MinerLink - That's it! http://www.minerlink.com/
Looks like all s7's from batch 1 on up to my last (batch-18) has setup for it as part of the Bitmain GUI under Miner Configuration as a 3rd choice next to Advanced

Well im thinking that Kano working on this would be a conflict of interest being as he is in tight with avalon.  Im sure they dont want him to jump on this nor does he want to bite himself in foot by helping us being as its for a bitmain miner.  I think getting kano approval even if its up to gpl standards is going to be a stretch on this one.  I think we are on our own folks.  My coin is still available if/when fubly pulls thru.
best regards
d57heinz
If that is how Kano views it (conflict of interest) he should be up front and say that.

We know how he feels about Bitmain in general. For that I can't blame him as they have been less than honorable towards GPL. Not mention that I doubt they ever donated to him for the software they use in their commercial product. But tie that to him working with Avalon and you get: no way in hell will it ever be approved by him.

So much for the idea of him accepting Community extensions to his software Wink
You clearly have no idea about GPLv3 or how to check if it has been adhered to.
... even though you seem to be making posts about that ...

I've posted in here a number of times and still some seem to not give a shit that fubly has broken the cgminer license with his previous version, and they want to support him in this version ...

Yes I am not surprised at that at all.
When people see something they want, they rarely care about copyright or licenses.
You all bought S9s from a company that ignored the GPLv3 license in cgminer in the past.
When they finally did post S9 source after when they said they would and after when the license required them to, I wonder if there is only 1 version for all the S9s out there?
Hopefully there is only one version, since Bitmain have only one version on the public git.
However I also know they changed it coz there was an early version that failed on ckpool ... but there's no sign of that change anywhere ... GPLv3 requires all versions that were released, not just one specific version.

Bitmain have done this before, but that never seems to stop people buying from Bitmain.
Copyrights and licenses are really of little interest to some ...

When fubly broke multiple licenses with his previous version, at least cgminer and CryptoGlance, I posted asking him where the source was.
His answer on the forum says it's here:
https://github.com/Zwilla/cgminer
So what is that?
A copy of my git, unedited.

It contains one pull request, that has never been applied.
The pull request contain lots of code removed from cgminer for drivers not used in the version, changes, some changes with comments suggesting it doesn't work, and a couple of empty files ... ... ... ...

Now there's nothing surprising about this with fubly coz ... as I've already posted here in this thread and explained it ... he's a scammer.

Ok, I got that we are not all the way to the goal yet, but from saying you wouldn't give it a green light when finished to saying that some work still have to be done, is a huge difference.
What is needed to make you even consider this project to get to the finish line ? You know that this project is to get rid of Bitmains way of treating us all ?

As I have already posted a number of times ...
fubly is a scammer.
His magic way he posted how his miner version was 16% faster:

So again not worth the time for us to read about and you to write.

This was supposed to be something nice  and it got twisted sideways.

I would think some simple set of pm's could have stopped this but the time for pm's has been missed.
I won't change my software and use this for now.  

But I will send 0.10 btc to Fubly  since I do not want him to work for nothing.

@ ck and kano  

  I got involved in this to be supportive not destructive.

 I suppose I am at least 1/3 to blame since I did not pm either one of you to ask about the issues you had with Fubly and the older GIT



as for buying an s-9  there were no other options to mine btc.  I am a miner more or less.

well now I earn more btc with ETH and XMR  gpu mining.   

not a knock on either one of you since btc mining is out of our hands anyway. in the hands of bitmaintech and the like.

Can we collectively decide or poll on a consensus?

Put all the personal issues aside - and let's get a good win-win outcome.

Also, we need kano's feedback - I have not his latest post - I hope his feedback will be favourable.

If we cannot get our act together - it will only benefit Bitmain and the other pools.

We need to decide - YES or NO to the fork, and get back to business.


I was very excited about the intention of this bounty and fully supported it - the upside was massive for all of us if not the entire ASICS mining world, because it will teach Bitmain a lesson that the mining community can make a difference.

I guess I am wrong... IMHO, Bitmain wins again...

After reading the few pages of feedback...

I am disappointed that parties involved have not reached a conclusion, in-fact I see many new information now and have made my own analysis and made my recommendations to my investors.

I am not happy about the outcomes and rationales on why this project is not approved, but that's sorely my own opinion and selfish analysis.

Therefore, I have made a decision to stay out of this matter, as I am firstly responsible for maximizing my investors returns in BTC and non-BTC mining and trading.

There is only so much I can do and control, the things that is beyond my control ... I do not want to spend any more time and effort on it.

Like other members, I will send my original BTC donation to Fubly as he has done the work for the intended bounty. The usability of the fubly's final published codes in my preferred pool is a different matter altogether.

To all parties involved, kano, -ck, fubly.... I don't have any grudges against anyone of you - all of you have your own opinions, principles and reputation to protect --- just be nice to each other.

Live long and prosper!

If I provided you good and useful info or just a smile to your day, consider sending me merit points to further validate this Bitcointalk account ~ useful for future account recovery...

From a Dr. of CompSci in my Skype room (yes the once infamous AMT room is still alive!) regarding GPL violations and sale of programs:
  1) Yes Fubly should have released his driver code work for the s7.

  2) Since most of the s9 code he is doing is based on s7 work (even Kano said that) AND SINCE THIS s9 CODE IS PUBLISHED, then point-1 is now moot.

  3) As to sale of what should be considered code for an add-on: Even with CGminer being open-source one CAN sell modified packages containing it and closed source code. Just fulfill the requirements of pointing to/providing the source(s) for the Open Source parts.

  4) Point-3 applies ONLY if code such as ASICboost is not put into CGminer as part of it but rather is a helper add-on. Something  that intercepts header information/manipulates it and then passes the block information to CGminer. In other words, only if the boost is pretty much stand-alone code and that is what is being bought.

  5) The only formatting fault that stands out in Fubly's git is that the 1st commit should have been a clean copy of 4.9.2 with all the other code commits after that to provide a clear deviation reference point for Fubly's code changes.

Here is the answer from Timo Hanke:

Ich verstehe fast nur Bahnhof. Für welchen miner Typ soll das der code sein? Ist das code von Con Kolivas wie in der Readme steht? Wenn der code öffentlich ist, wo ist dann die GPL violation? Wo gibt es einen Hinweis auf asicboost?


He say: I understand nothing, if you published (to the public) the code I can´t understand where there is a violation against GPL?


Dear Cgminer Dev Team,

this will be now my next steps:

  • make a fork of bitmaintech/bmminer
  • publishing my code
  • create a update script for S9 (bmminer to cgminer 4.9.2)
  • create a downgrade script  (cgminer 4.9.2 to bmminer)
  • collecting money for the bounty to this address: 16L45ub3SpHZ6dYbqseip7Fv4BEJSj9xEo

There is no need of any escrow, because I will publish the code direct for public, after testing and review you can donate what ever you want to me.

If you just want to make a donation to the developer team take a look to this page https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer or this https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer you will find there a donation address.


On this page https://www.zwilla.de/en/auctions/english-software/donation-product-for-changing-bmminer-into-cgminer-4-9-2/ I will published a donation product if you want to donate with paypal or btc. For this you will get a invoice on the fly.

Also you can make an offer - there is a button "make an offer" all value will be accepted which are at minimum 1% of 20 bucks.

And if you donate and not satisfied with the new code, let me know I will send you your donation back.
IF you send btc you will get btc back, you send fiat you get fiat back. The same amount.

I will publish the code this evening.


I sent you $50 usd in btc

I am checking on how to send $50 usd to the developer team as I promised 100 altogether

so $50 + $ 50 = $100

Query: Looking at https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/build.md I take it we have to SSH into a miner and do the instructions on the command line.

Once 1 of the .tar files is made for a miner, can that be copied/backed up to a PC and then used with Bitmains GUI page to directly flash our other miners as an update??

Here is my $ 50 donation to the other party.

i.e. kano & ck

so $100 was donated ½ to team kano/CK  ½ to FUBLY

I will not use the software on my s-9's

but I would like to ask kano and or ck  to pm me in the future  if there is a problem with something I am doing on the site.  I in turn will do the same with them.

You weren't doing anything wrong. I had zero intention of getting involved and making a judgement call on fubly's work. However, you asked me to sign off on it which is when I spoke up about my concerns. I still think if you're happy with the product he generates then it makes no difference what I think, but if you want me to bless it, I cannot do that for the reasons I've outlined. Getting Kano to sign off on his work is likely 100x harder. The language barrier is not helping the discussion either, where fubly is asking  fellow German to explain why he might be accused of dishonouring the license requirements of the GPL when Kano's concern there is fubly's previous project, and Kano would refuse to "forgive and forget" unless fubly goes back and releases all the hidden code and retracts claims of improved performance.

   Yes which is why I decided to not do  escrow services.  The older  project is still in  active violation status. That would not be the same as: forgive and forget since it is active.
 It is what I failed to understand about the issue.  I did not realize it was active.  Like I mention understanding code and code GPL rules is not my area of expertise. Once informed the prior problem was current and active I stopped my escrow service and refunded all involved.

Dear Community,

I need more time to read all the posts.

But I want to inform you, that I published an update. Also the binaries are updated.

p.s. uthash.h - UTHASH_VERSION 2.0.1 - Give me a feedback please if it was not a good idead, but the Cgminer is working also perfect with it.



at the git folder I was using this after every new build:

Code:
mv /usr/bin/bmminer /usr/bin/bmminer-old

cp cgminer /usr/bin/bmminer

chmod 755 /usr/bin/bmminer

/etc/init.d/bmminer.sh restart

sleep 3

screen -r

Check! It really does nothing other, just the Version number is changed and the copyright notice.

ATM I was running a 24hour race between two S9.

One with modified driver settings and one with default.

modified driver (pari with git atm)
S9-1: (15.14 Th/s Scoring Hash Rate)    (21.47 Th/s 5 minutes)  (16.11 Th/sHour)  (9.205 Th/sDay  = started this morning)

unmodified driver
S9-2: (6.320 Th/s Scoring Hash Rate)    (7.158 Th/s 5 minutes (8.948 Th/sHour)  (12.62 Th/s Day  = diff changed 3pm)

last 18 hours I had many problems by fixing the compile errors at the S9 driver.

I was on a point to revert all my work to yesterday 9am, but now I fixed a memory leak and the new version which is at git now,
compiles perfect (with some errors) and works well.

The main problem was this parameter "dev->frequency" this won't set the frequency well, and the code breaks and breaks and breaks.
This var is only used to get this: "config_parameter.frequency"


Code:
dev->freq[i] = frequency; // can we set now different frequency, if we split this?

I think you all can see that one of the hashboard produced more hardware errors than the other one, I think if we can change it by a new option

--bitmain-freq    = this is default on every Antminer S9

--bitmain-freq1
--bitmain-freq2
--bitmain-freq3

I will try it now at first with manual values and if it works enable this option.

By this way you can handle the options.

If you not edit your bmminer.conf the software will use the default for all boards
If you set the option the software will use it.

I am confused. How can you say "compiles perfect", but still have some errors. Is that not the very definition of not compiling perfectly? What compile time errors are you getting?

https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/blob/master/driver-bitmain.c

this looks like linux driver at first sight
no this is cgminer driver, not linux

i can't find any linux driver structures in this git maybe they published it elsewhere or not at all

NO REBOOT NEEDED!

After uploading, the page will change to index.html

After some seconds you will see, that cgminer 4.9.2 is running.

If you want to see what the upgrade script will do, read this file!
https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/update-script/restoreConfig.sh

Is it ok if we start a new thread about cgminer 4.9.2 for Antminer S9. I think we all wrote here a lot of BS and as fast I can forgot this as better?

Making now some tweaks to the frontpage and update script, to backup all. So that you can download it.

Finish.

Now the script save your original files, you can download them direct from antminer`s frontpage.

How it works? Watch this video now!

I hope you have all now, that waiting and donating for.

I need a break!

I will be trying it tonight after work. I have 2 s9's at home, a batch-1 and a batch-3. Of course the 1st step will be to generate an archive file of their current configurations. Ya know, as a just in case...  Wink

The b1 will be the victim. Currently slightly under clocked @ 612MHz I believe maybe 606. Stock speed supposed to be 650 but chip temps too high there. If things look good sometime over the weekend the b3 will follow.

    Download this: https://github.com/Zwilla/bmminer-cgminer492/blob/master/update-script/AntminerS9-Update-Bmminer.tar
    Open your miners frontpage http://antminer
    Click on System
    Click on Upgrade
    Goto the menu / line "Restore backup:"
    Select the file "AntminerS9-Update-Bmminer.tar"
    Click on the button "upload Archive"

Thank you very much, this should make things painless  Smiley

Und ja, I think it is time for you to make a new thread on this to give your work here a fresh start. Wink
Tip: for your new thread, immediately add 1 or 2 replies to it with just the text:  <reserved>

By just editing those later you can add any important update info right at the top of the thread.

Tried on a B1 14T miner at 625 frequency. Miner worked and was up and running. As fubly stated I wasn't getting a good hash read out. Using awesome miner I was able to determine hash rate was about the same over a 30 minute test. Problem I ran into was. I was only able to see chip temp for one board, it read 114 which I felt was way to hot. My other B1's are running high 80's. I restored my BMminer and things are back to normal. I think Fubly is heading in the right direction, just a few bugs need to be worked out. I think the goal here if I'm not mistaken is doing away with BMminer, but also achieving a better hash rate or lower frequency.

thank you for testing,

looks like everyone afraid to use it on S9 without check experience !

Yes, thanks for testing. Encouraging to know that restoring to the default configuration is possible!

I ended up having to flash the bitmain firmware update. I wasn't able to see the GH/S(avg) but it's working fine now.

Waiting for an update that will display board and chip temps, then will try again.

I will update within the next 24hours at github.

This options must be set direct on bmminer.conf, to prevent hardware errors.


TODO:
GHs Stats for Chain
Temp for chain and chip


I had many problems and working many hours, but there is no way at moment to find out how to get these stats, for me!
https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/issues


p.s. If you use the new build and did not set

-bitmain-freq1
-bitmain-freq2
-bitmain-freq3

the miner will choose for chain 1/2/3 the same mhz!!!

each time you send a transaction don't forget to use a new address, each time you receive one also!

No, sorry and thx.

The problem is here:

Line 4727: https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/blob/master/driver-btm-c5.c

this: dev->chain_asic_temp[2][0]
Code:
   for(i = 0; i < BITMAIN_MAX_CHAIN_NUM; i++)
    {
        char temp_name[12];
        sprintf(temp_name,"temp%d",i+1);
        root = api_add_int16(root, temp_name, &([b]dev->chain_asic_temp[i][2][0][/b]), copy_data);
    }

this is not working, they confused with their code, many functions are not in use or if in use it did not work like this here and that:
chain_asic_temp[2][1]

Code:
   for(i = 0; i < BITMAIN_MAX_CHAIN_NUM; i++)
    {
        char temp2_name[12];
        sprintf(temp2_name,"temp2_%d",i+1);
        root = api_add_int16(root, temp2_name, &(dev->chain_asic_temp[i][2][1]), copy_data);
    }

and this is also not working: dev->temp_top1

Code:
root = api_add_int(root, "temp_max", &([b]dev->temp_top1[/b]), copy_data);

and this: displayed_rate

Code:
   for(i = 0; i < BITMAIN_MAX_CHAIN_NUM; i++)
    {
        char chain_rate[16];
        sprintf(chain_rate,"chain_rate%d",i+1);
        root = api_add_string(root, chain_rate, [b]displayed_rate[i][/b], copy_data);
    }

this is the output of: bmminer-api -o stats

Um, maybe you should get together with patrike the author of Awesome Miner monitoring software? He seems to have cracked the coding for BMminer as Awesome Miner correctly reports board and chip temps.

I LOVE the setting speed per-board idea. Lets us optimize per-board for performance and temps Smiley

on my mintorro I also had the problems to get the bmminer stats into, but that problem has nothing to do with the main generation of the stats.

Hi there.

Please help me to restore original bmminer. Unfortunately can't use miner without temp monitoring, so will waiting for that.

But can't understand how to downgrade cgminer...

Thanks

Can you not just flash it again from the file on bitmains website under the "support" section?

Sure, but there are no firmware for S9 miner

That might pose a problem  Huh

Strange how the new S9's come out with firmware that auto-adjusts to find the optimum frequency for each hashboard just like what has been done by a member on here 🤔

It is not exactly true. Based ony kernel log it looks that each board has factory-programmed each chip's frequency. Final frequency showed in status is average freq for the whole board.

Does the Bmminer-cgminer492 firmware support latest batch S9 with xilink SoC based controllers?

Looks like there is an update to the to the S9 driver on github back on Nov 30th, 2016.   

https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/commit/b5de92908498590d96d333a1e2570eab0eb321d3

Fubly, do you plan on updating your repo to reflect these changes?

fubly account is hacked. Now I use my domain name as user.

And No! I do not add all the changes to my build.

If you want stats and not money. Use the orig firmware from bitmain. I optimized the driver for the first generation of S9
over 300 hours and killed by this way 2 x S9.

The source by bitmain is a disaster at all. I have a build now for all Xilinx board and also without stats.

If you want to see the stats then use your pool. There are the stats.

If you have problems with the temp than cool better. The miner stops mining at high temps automatically it is implemented inside the chip!

If you have a problem with the noise
  1. Stop mining
  2. unplug one fan


optimized the driver
Let me tell you one thing about more hash power from S9.


The original firmware by bitmain is talking many times to the controller board like this.

Ever 50 microseconds: Hey what temp does chip 1 have and so on to 63
then the driver asks many other bullshit questions.

Within this time is it not possible for the bullshit controller to make his job: Sending answers what the asic chips find out!

You don't belief it?

login via ssh and activate the debug mode. Then you see how the hashrate drops!

If you want to get out more then 15% up to 25% contact me but only if you have 100 miners or more.
I'm not willing to spend more time without any cent. Sorry!

It’s a shame this went dead. Bitmain prolly paid this guy to stop or work for them. It’s funny some things discussed here were implemented in later firmware.  Bitmain is as dirty as they come. Stab their own in back if it means they get ahead. Undecided

Did you do a Factory reset?
Power down, press and hold in reset button while you turn on power, continue to hold button in for 5-sec then release it.
Miner should load the embedded OEM firmware. Wait a few minutes then re-enter your pool and user info. Apply/save and let the miner do its hopefully normal startup.

nothing happened bro. maybe because i have tried installing new config files and installed the upgrade fix from bitmain too... now it wont do anything.. and on status, it just shows "." no matter how long i wait... here are some screenshots:

If you can't factory reset it then the NVRAM in the S9 controller may be the cause.
Bitmain uses crappy cheap shit for the NVRAM and it doesn't survive being overwritten too many times.
You may need to buy a new controller.

You can also unplug your miner,
1. hold the ip report button
2. plug in miner
3. hold ip report for 5 seconds

That has worked for me numerous times.

Yes. To the best of my knowledge exactly ONE company has always followed the spirit of Open Source -- Canaan.io with their Avalons. Current github repos's and all (links on Canaan.io site), full blessings of -ck and Kano. That is one reason that I only buy Avalons now, reliability being the other.

Currently you can pay with only Sabrett Hotdogs and you only have one hour to pay.


But do they have to be dirty water Sabrett dogs? And does that make them like a fork of clean water steamed Sabretts?

You can try here but I don't think S9's can be downgraded anymore.
If you manage to get it working post back here to let us know.

I'm curious one fact related to this project: now that we have nontrivial pools supporting ASICboost, does anyone know how to enable it on those miners? The rumors had it that it has only been tried on testnet pools and that there's some secret switch named "multi_version" or something similar.
