3 sats...0.97, straight up...   they love 70c

Are you pointing out the 128 and 256 second averages?.  My 128 & 256 jump from 1600 to 3200 Gh/s constantly and I consider them almost useless.

no, mostly the 3 and 12 hr...  lol
3 sats @ 275 is 825 ...    I'm getting that @ the pool, which is very good IMHO

OOOoohhhHH!!!  Can't wait for 0.98!!!

All,

We have noticed an increase in failures with our boxes when the firmware has been updated to 0.97.

There has been a bug identified in this firmware which can cause drop in performance in certain circumstances . There is a fix right now undergoing development but it’s not quite ready to release yet as it must undergo more testing overnight.

We are very aware that our customers are waiting for this hotfix to rescue some boxes who’s performance has dropped after applying 0.97.

The 0.98 release which is scheduled for release tomorrow will contain

1, A solution to address the bug which can cause dramatically reduced performance.

2, A bug fix which will stop the slowly reducing performance over time,

3, A new version of the CGMiner binary provided to us by the CGMiner developer’s

The update will be available tomorrow form our website,

SWEET!!!

Gotcha, thnx

Anyone noticed their miner has the date 1 Jan 2000?

clear browser cache & make sure your pc time is correct.. had that one... hehe

No mine has that date on the miner, if I ssh in.

Will it be a install/apply with no possibility to go back to the actual version of CGMiner ?

You can always re-install an older firmware image.  I think this IS the actual version of CGMiner, though

then you are not using 0.97, right?
That was the case for earlier firmwares....

[Nemo1024]

Right.
I've just received log-in details to the hosting portal!
Better late than never, I guess.

Nope, been on 0.97 since it was released

[Nemo1024]

Nice to see that you can add as any back-up pools as you want in the portal.
Pointed mine to BitMinter and will let it run for a while. I should expect about 240-260GH/s on the pool side, correct?

For those bound on risk I wonder if the removed USB port is possible to be soldered back to copy over these files. Probably the biggest risk would be warranty wise?

Should be a lot safer just to buy another BBB & copy the image over.

huh? it's simple enough using putty, why would we need a bbb?... lol

his code is stored in RAM anyway...   right?
a cold restart works fine.... at least it did for my 3 sats...

the location of the .factory file was mentioned early on... surely folks made a backup of it?

can't use putty if the machine won't come up on the network due to deleted critical files.  And since the USB has been disabled...the number of choices is sort of whittled down.  Best solution is to, of course, not delete the files in the first place

And how does one restore said backup if one can't access the machine

Cklovas nor any rep ever never instructed anyone to erase the .factory files.
Don't know why someone would do such a thing.

agreed and addressed in edit above

Indeed NOT. My instructions were quite explicit and said nothing about deleting or replacing any files.

[ElGabo]

Hey CKolivas!

Had they contacted you to give some help to the firmware?

[demonmaestro]

Order 64XX  Shipped... ABOUT damn time.  only 13 days late. Lets see how long it takes to get to me. I paid for one day shipping.

I've just created a kncminer branch on my github and have imported their most current code and built my first binary for this. It is not a full firmware and the only thing users may note is the hashrate won't lie with this one, as it won't count hardware errors as hashrate. Also my hardware error count is significantly lower with this on the Saturn dev machine I was sent.

Sorry, I have to disagree on 'only thing users may note is the hashrate won't lie'.

Not even running cgminer v3.6.6 for 12h now and I have to report my hashrate increases
I'm runinng Jupiter with firmware v0.95 and 72h avg hashrate graph went from 520-535 GH/s up to 553GH/s still climbing, yay!!

as hint for others:
it took some time until increase in hashrate was noticeable, the first 30-60min I didn't see a change, then went to bed - when checking stats today I was surprised by the obvious hashrate increase


yo ckolivas, a donation will hit your wallet soon, will mine a little into your pocket this evening - hope others will do so as well

In order to do so, just add an additional pool for some time to cgminer, like eligius with his wallet id as username and use balanced workload distribution
You can use the following example to mine with ~ 1/3 of your total hashing rate into his wallet for some time.

Code:

cgminer -o http://your_1st_default_pool:port -u user -p pass \
              -o http://your_2nd_default_pool:port -u user -p pass \
              -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 148KkS2vgVi4VzUi4JcKzM2PMaMVPi3nnq  -p none \
              --balance

Thanks for the good work!

Thanks Yes I noticed a hashrate rise as well but I like to be conservative with my estimates. The hardware error rate dropped over time too.

Which firmware is this? 0.9 Dc output is interesting....

[ASIC-K]

its .94 but seems unstable.

[ElGabo]

yep, it's not stable....

0.9 dc output with higher clock and the stability of 0.96. That would be magic. (I think  )
