Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (10/12 v1.12 update)

[BitAntonius]

Hi, blissz!

Thanks for your work!

I've got a problem on the v1.1 :: 02/12 version: always changing pool priority after dev mining.

A screen shows that middle pool from setting has a 0 priority.

it must be hard to perform autotune, especially with completly random error.

I agree, I hope Blissz doesn't fall into a rabbit hole with this. Boards sometimes throw tons of errors, sometimes work fine. I have one board that doesn't throw much errors but craps out after a few hours if I push it too far. Also the fact that changing settings in one board (for some mysterious reason) affects the other boards. It took me days to understand and tune this thing, I definitely wouldn't try to automate it

It's not a mysterious reason.  You have 2 fans and 3 boards.  

My temps are quite low, I don't believe the HW errors being because of the temps. Somehow changing settings in one board affects the others, maybe because of power draw, after all these bitmain PSU are cheap pieces of crap and at 120v I'm running it close to the limit, let's see when I go to 240v next week what happens.

Disclaimer: This is a guess based on earlier bitmain products - electrical distribution. Most manf. seem to be focused on maxing out the chips capabilities so they run everything parallel Bitmain (used to anyway) tend to run serial, Not sure of the specifics of exactly what goes on since you can only get the earliest schematics and I'm mining so I'm not about to take one apart. (yet anyway) Where was I? sorry not enough coffee in me yet. Anyway something about the voltage regulators jiggles things every time you change a setting the board "thinks" they are all supposed to be getting the same juice, so change voltage on one and it jiggles amps which ends up causing the other boards to react. I might be able to put this more clearly after I wake up completely, but by then I will probably forget what I was talking about. Had myself a rough couple of days, and perhaps a smidgen too much scotch.  - like I'm aware since you have juice running to each board independently (like you can have separate psu's for each board) then there should be no reason adjusting the volts on one would affect another, but I know that it does, and once upon a time when sleep was in my life I probably remembered why.

Mine got hung up after devmining while we were out shopping (it was about 6 hours- way out in the country and shop only twice a month so it is always a long trip) so I went back to stock til I figure out something to keep that from happening, personally I think the devmining thing is a great way to get paid for work, the more people who find it useful the more you make. There are just a few irritants in the way that it ends up functioning, might have been more of a glitch having to do with pool order so I'll check that out when I have time to watch it the whole time.

Thanks for the inof: the priority change I will look into. It can't hang on a dev mining pool actually except if all your own pools are down

I'm not sure if this has been discussed already on this long thread...
After setting the miner to 400MHz / 25% fan speed and selecting the blissz firmware in the System -> Upgrade -> Flash Firmware section, the screen keeps spinning in this screen, the miner reboots and nothing is changed.
The unit is hardware version 1.0.0.6 submodel 19.3 GH

The firmware keeps displaying the standard Bitmain firmware.

Am I missing something?

Try to download the file again and make sure not to unpack it, just download it and flash the downloaded file.

[Dopert]

These toasters will be a ferrari for a window of three months i think. When D3 roi out rage the script miners roi the x11 manufacturs will return to market. Before custumers have them running in the window of - higher roi then script / new sell manufactoring, delivery and operate (think 3 months window). But in that time offcourse no fiat loss but still btc gaining loss. Crazy crypto. Never keeps the same mind

That's exactly what I did.... no unpacking, just selecting the downloaded file and flash it... the miner reboots after around 30 seconds or so and just starts the standard firmware again while the screen stays circling in the please wait a minute phase.

Try to press ctrl + f5 before you flash and after the flash in the browser. Maybe something strange is in your browser cache...

Wow this thing is stubbornly refusing to upgrade.
Tried downloading the file couple times, different browsers, CTRL F5 all to no avail.

Should I factory reset the D3 or try putting the firmware on a micro SD card? This should be a simple thing apparently...

[Mercado]

Hmmm.

So I tried to upgrade another D3, this one hardware build 1.0.0.7 and it flashed without a problem.
It is probably unit related that the other one refuses to upgrade.

Strange...

EDIT:

Even stranger but hopefully it may be of help to anyone having the same situation:
I swapped connections of both D3's so the now upgraded unit is connected to my wattmeter.
The refusing to upgrade D3 in the new spot now upgraded no problem.

Very happy with the upgrade though, because the non upgraded unit was using 778 Watt producing 12.2 GH/s at 350 MHz, the upgraded unit is producing 14.8 GH/s at 400 MHz at 740 W using the lowest voltage setting on the chains.

i did't suppose that You cas still make this soft better, but i was wrong!
thanks a lot, next features are nice!

It it possible, with the factory firmware or with this firmware to start te mining with the fans disconnected or running very slow because of miner submerged in oil?

Thx

factory will fail due to lower than expected fan speed.

you can probably rig a hardware fix for this, like some sort of resistor wired to the fan connector - all shrink wrapped up nicely of course so it thinks the fans are running. old bitmain's would keep plugging away even if it couldn't read the fan speed (I had replaced a back fan on an s1 to s3 upgrade with one that had no sensor wire and it just kind of ignored the fact that the fan wasn't sending anything back.. but that also MAY have worked because the front fan was still connected) in any case might be worth a try. Won't help much in the way of electric because it would send the same juice to the resistor as it would have to the fan, but should be able to sink the sucker. - disclaimer I've never tried this and have no idea if it would work or what would actually be best to use to trick it into thinking the fans were running.

interesting 

[mikespax]

If you think a silly petition is going to sway a multimillion dollar company in China, you're an idiot.

Anyways, is there any chance the future will bring automatic coin switching based on whattomine.com profitability like nvOC has?

[fecell]

interesting 

wasting time.

[mikespax]

Brand new accounts keep pushing that Inginer and change.org petition. I'm convinced they're connected. Smart scam.

[Experimenter]

Yes, it is possible with this custom firmware.
I'm running my D3 with fans disconnected completely - no issues at all!

Note: I do use other fans to cool the miner down, of course. They just have no electrical connection to D3.
