ANTMINER D3 - Hacking, Reprogramming , Disassembly , Debugging, OS change

[Chan8]

Hello everyone, you guys should check out this thread. Pretty interesting stuff this guy did to his antminer d3.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2346161.0
He disassembled it and got it down to 750w at 15gh. Not bad at all.
Definitely worth checking out. Wonder what else people out there can do and share to improve these miners or paper weight.

Hi
As there is a lot off unknown future about the late batches of Antminer D3 , I would like to start a topic where we can share ideas about
alternative use of this hardware - different than X11 mining.

The interested aspects are:
- Can we install different OS on the machine ?
- Can D3 be reprogrammed to any different algo or X11 is the only one ?
- How the power of the machine can be used if not for mining ?
- Any interested ideas about alternative use of this equipment ?
- Any Links to sources with interested detailed information's , tech documentations , operating systems, circuit diagrams ?

I think this topic may become very good source of information's about Antminer D3

if you put one upstairs and one downstairs and make a system to connect it to the heating you wont need a boiler

haha. I run it during the off hours of my business and make money doing that. Much easier than hiring staff. There are lots of new X11 coins that are doing well. Buy and Hold or exchange them. Dash is getting more expensive as well so I would keep mining. I hope that one day that Dash will make a forked coin that is new and cheaper for regular transactions. As it becomes more expensive, it becomes an asset instead of a currency.
