So is this really worth it? I've kept mine off for so long due to low profit and so much noise. Do you just DL and flash like the stock firmware?

I think it depends on your electricity cost. You could also sell it on ebay, they are around $700.

[martyshmoo]

You don't have to search for anything, read the first post in the thread with all the details of the firmware before using it, in particular:

It's really experimental so here are the terms:
- I am not responsible for any damage to your miner, flash at your own risk
- You're not going to complain about the 1.5% mining fee.

Hey thats a chat between two people, Not all the people who downloaded the software, just THOSE two people.

I did not agree to anything, even though I do.

again, sorry for bringing it up, But two sentences in 73 pages was the two I missed in the bottom third of a discussion on how to stop fan noise.....

And What mining fee? Are you saying it is CLEAR what is going on here?

For all we know the d3 is mining 5% for him, how do we know?



Maybe it will delete all our wallets, and hack our house lighting?

I do not know. nor do you! But thus far I trust anyone more than Bitmain.


So you are right, I should of read "everything" before I tried this,

But I am glad I did Not at this point. I would not of enjoyed this awesome learning experience.

Thanks for pointing out the two sentences that clearly state that the Development fee is 1.5% of all my future mining with this machine on this software, that was never clear to me.

Nor was it stated anywhere during the flash process, nor was it written anywhere near the download link...

Now it is, I will relocate them and re-boot original FW after my additional solar panels come.

Still not pissed I did this, unless I cannot get back to "no fee" mining when Bitmain does essentially the same as Blissz (in like two years probably).

Thanks again, Blissz, owe you three Beers!


WOW!

23 Blocks found on stratum+tcp://italyiimp.com:3533 many Happy coins! ohh 2 bucks...

Bought some 1000 Hemp yesterday, glad I did. Go "THCCOIN"!!!

Getting some MUE toooooo!! Mooooooooooo

Hy guys
I don't understand, why better this firmware than the stock firmware? Because the profit on19,3Ghs with 1200w is equal 17Ghs on 750W-1,5 fee.

yeah this is the only question i have but the efficency numbers are crazy with this firmare:

stock
19600 ms at 1200 watt - .0612  watt/ms or 16.33  ms/watt

18500 ma at 920 watt - .049 watt/ms or 20 ms/Watt

15000 ma at 700 watt - .046 watt/ms or 21 mhs/watt

thats roughly a 20 percent increase in efficency which also traanlatea to longer life on the chips
which equals more time to roi , as well as less heat

now all i need are some numbers on the dev fee to see the true gains

Yes, at like 9 bucks a day, its less than a penny per d3 miner per day. and my miner makes no noise, and I can turn it down really low for the night to be low power consumption when there is no sun to collect.

still worth it.

30 cents a month... thats cool.

I saw this russian building an new controller alltogether for the d3 so it could mine scrypt, quark, and x13/15, etc. He wants 300 bucks a unit. I am considering this as well.

If you have 100 units I understand your concern. But a couple, this is worth it in all cases.

How hard is it to understand that ASICs do one and one thing only. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit

Baikal Miners comes to mind. when you understand X11 includes 11 algo then its not too far fetched to imagine if they can be merged  then they can be unchained or isolated.

[zerocom]

Thanks a lot to blissz for his great work. Finally I managed to find stability for my two D3. I want to post my configuration in order to help those who have not yet succeeded.

D3-1



FAN MODE=AUTO PERFOMANCE

50%


D3-2



FAN MODE=AUTO PERFOMANCE

50%

Baikal mostly used fpga's (not sure on the newer ones like the giant - but probably fpga's still if they say you can add an algo later) There are a couple other companies out there that use fpga's instead of asics and the public is just used to generically calling any miner with more oomph than a video card an "Asic" now fpga's on the other hand.....

Hi guys,

This is excellent. Thanks for the hard work on this.

Just an advice, I can see 5 pools and not 3 when I am going to pool in ssh. The 3 pools links are ok, but the other 2 are completely out, so therefore the probability of mining not for your pool and worker.

If you can fix it will be great, if not you need to go to ssh and change it.

Thanks

Blissz sorry if I interrupting you, but can you please fix basic things on your FW?
I flashed again last version 02.12 FW on all miners last night. Now I dont have previous problem when part of D3 miners hashing on backup pool every 1 hour, current problem is that more than half D3 miners doing hashing on backup pool without reason, primary pool is alive and still more than half miners are on backup pool.

[Xjkeee]

I have tested my Stock  D3,  at 19 GHs  and 1145W.....  its mined around 11 ONX (Onix),  in 24h,  at zpool.ca

What coin (x11) are you mining at what pool / profit per day it rewards ? , i think Nicehash is the best option atm.

You get no answers, is it? It is because no one shares any secret, because they are so desperate to make a little to recover their investment on D3 that included me, since Shitmain flooded the market.

I don't expect making so big business with this D3.... but just looking the best option for getting  profit... atm  11 ONX per day... around 330 ONX per month  at 0,50 $ per ONX  its 165$,  that cover  electricty cost  (0,14 cents per kW/h)  and give a little profit !

P.D If ONX will goes up to 1$ per coin, profit will be higher

where do you get onx (onixcoin) ?

My elec is fairly expensive ($0.2/kwh), but I've managed to get approx 126% ratio (MH/S RT) through cryptocompare. Here are the settings if anyone is interested.

The power usage is 812W.

My D3 sounded like a rocket ship at first, but it's incomparably better with this mod. Thanks!

prohashing is your main pool? Seems there is something strange going on with that pool actually... Please pm me your kernel log of on of those miners and a screenshot of your miner status window. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your settings / power usage. This seems like a good balance between power usage / hashrate / noise. Good job!

Exactly the same behavior is with Antpool.
And only for those who work with your software.

And when do you put back yours dev pools on the front page ?

[micairvas]

Finally someone else to notice this problem

[gogostar]

Hi, i just got mine d3 today.
Which pool would you recomand?
i would preffer to mine dash.
Thank you

[llanaio]

I'm preparing 50 D3s to go into a colocation center, so I will be able to tweak and administer them remotely via Awesome Miner, but will not be able to reflash with new FW once I send them out. I seek max reliable output over a 24-30 month useful lifetime but don't care about noise, heat or energy consumption (since they will be kept cool and I have a reasonable electricity cost contract).

Is there a setting between stock performance and max performance that is reliable long-term and still increases output (including Dev fee)?

Is the current version solid? Is there an update coming in a few days that would be worth the wait?

Thanks!

[llanaio]

Sorry, didn't realize I could flash remotely. Thought I had to pull the controller and use an SD card on the Beaglebone ARM. Tried remote flashing, works great, so I'm happy I can keep up with your new versions remotely.

Still interested in your thoughts for ideal settings for a data center environment.

I will have a look at this. Maybe the settings for switching pools when work is not provided fast enough is, is a bit too nervous now for some pools. Thanks for sharing this.

I still believe the kernel log is an ok place for the dev fee info, but I will make an option for it later. For now autotune each hashing board got top priority.

It really depends on the power costs per kwh. But probably 17 Mh/s per unit (needs a voltage setting ~5 to ~9 I think) would be a sweet spot. It keeps things a bit cooler compared to the default firmware and makes sure you will have less failing units over a period of 2 years I would say.
