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

[deezhere]

Hello! Too many pages. My eyes are crossed. I have a D3 with a dead board. Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life? It worked fine at first. Nothing looks burned. Thanks for the help.

Yes, open a support ticket with Bitmain and ship that hashboard back for repair.

Maximum Temperatures for the D3?

So, I've been confused about the maximum temps for the D3 the entire time and wanted to see if you guys know the correct max temps.

Just to recap, In the manual it states that the Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature is 40 degrees Celsius, and that the miner will shut down if the PCB Temp hits 85 degrees Celsius.

Now, I see most people referring to the Chip Temp, not the PCB Temp.  I've been trying to keep my Chip Temp below 85 by downclocking my D3s, but now I'm thinking that it's not necessary.  I've seen where the Chip temp on the S9s is commonly over 100C, and I saw a post which indicated it was from bitmain support that said the S9 chip temp should stay below 115C.

So, should when people refer to Max Temps, should we be referring to the Chip or PCB?

And if bitmain says in the manual to keep PCB under 85C what should we try to keep Chip temps at?

I built some sound reducing boxes (miners in garage), but they increase the temps a little.  Even in the boxes though the PCB temps are in the mid 60s on one D3 (smaller enclosure, 450 clock) with the Chip temps around 80, my other D3 (newer larger enclosure, 500 clock) has PCB in upper 60s, chips in low 70s.  I was worried the temps were too high, but now I'm thinking I should just crank them both up as long as they stay under 80 PCB temp?

Anyone have the official Chip temp max?

I would add this - low hashrate option - to my miner if i could, is hosted. I figure it drops to 12000GH/s and below and the host cannot reboot it each time, so it stays like this...

by the way, low hashrate option, at what degree of low hashrate it does reboot? would work for my example of 12000 gh/s?

Seems I may have a dead board too 

Was running fine till last week, the last 6 chips decided to x, but the device seemed to be ok with the remaining 54, had it set to under 400 freq with no errors. (Tried to change voltages and feq and flash back to stock, still same last 6 died shortly after starting to mine.)

Few days ago the chain disappeared completely, but I could see it was still working by the total hashrate. Now its totally dead, hashing power nor the chain showing up at all.

Have tried resetting defaults, flashing back to stock, resetting again, flashing back to Blissz, underclock to 200 and set voltage to 13. Even opened her up to check, but nothing appears off.

Debug reports 0 ASIC for that chain, and the only thing I can see that is different is the temp sensor listing offset to 00 for that chain.

Any other things I can try before I unplug it completely and just run 2 @ 500watts at least

sounds to me like a dead board that needs to be shipped back to bitmain, but you can try one more thing: try to connect it as first board and then disconnect the working ones. Try swapping the communication cables as well.

if if falls below 92% of the expected hashrate for a few minutes it will reboot.

Yup, gave that a shot too, no luck. Oh well. Tried with different cables, different slots.

[sangwookie]

great project. I had a question. I hope I'm not the first to ask it. I was wondering if the asic boards can be replaced with another algorithm like scrypt or sha-256? Is the computer module like a orange pi like in the baikal? I was thinking you might be able to swap out boards for others.

[mikespax]

I can buy as many D3s as anyone is willing to sell, as long as you're pricing competitively under eBay rates and provide me a with a PayPal or escrow option.

Blissz - You are breaking the law, cgminer is 'GNU General Public License' program. Turning it into one for your own profit and not pushing it back to ckolivas or opening it up on github is illegal under the copyright. I understand you worked hard on it and did a great job. I get that you want to be compensated and you can still have a dev fee for you pre-built binary but you CAN'T keep ignoring the licence by having the source code closed. You need to push your code back up or openly host it. You don't have to take your mining fee out and you don't have to provide building instructions but you need to honor the open source license or I'm going to do it for you. No one here is going to know how to cross compile it and then build it back into initramfs. They can barely setup there miners in the first place. Since you've always ignored me I'm going to make this super clear now. Do the right thing, push your code, or I will re-release all your Firmware, without the miner fee. IE. by injecting assembly branching operations into the compiled cgminer where the switch_pools functions execute we can skip any pool greater than 2. You have a week and them I'm going to post my Blissz modded version just like you did to Bitmain(at least there code is hosted though).... I really wish you could have just done the right thing to start with.

I'm in USA so 120 volt or 110 not sure.

What is the highest I can put my ASIC Voltage to without it breaking/popping any circuits?

Power cost is not the concern and I'm pretty sure the max power draw is 1300 watts from the AMP3++ power supply from bitmain?

I want highest hash rate possible... POWER cost is not a problem the only problem is popping a circuit!


Thanks

Your supply will only give you 1200watts at 120v. So you can't go much higher without killing the supply or starving the boards.

K apparently the intent of the lisc is NOT to keep people from making money. it states that early on. now the corresponding source.. k from what I can tell you are not really forced to upload your modifications but MUST include the code you started with? (the definitions seem unclear here though again that may be the lack of coffee) it's like it states it one way while implying another (the implication being publish your code) If I am wrong here I am wrong and that is entirely possible. but by doing what you are about to do you will make him cease to work on updating/fixing stuff and in the future not have the desire to share anything that he fixes for himself - to me this kills the spirit of the GPL to allow for others to stand on the shoulders of giants and encourage people to BE those giants. -woah went all philosophical there. my bad.  where was I? We each could gather up the sources that he used and slowly, painfully, work out how to do the changes that he did.. in many cases not as well or as fast or as functional.. but the ability is there.. or we can download his firmware. - I get that this would be more clear within the gpl if there was a flat charge, but that would cause other difficulties.. like only a few people being able to make their d3's into something less painful of a loss.

I have the Antminer D3 Blissz version v2.04 beta and it has been running for several weeks, it's been a while since I've seen any updates, is there any planned?

The above is correct but to answer the rest of your question : look in your breaker box. are they 15amp breakers or 20 or what..
take that and x 110 (thought technically 120/240 - real world best to base your math on 110/220)  this will give you  the wattage that
the WHOLE circuit can run..at MAX if your wires are crappy and barely acceptable for the amps you will be drawing they will get hot.. (gotter the closer you get to max..)  so lets say 15  so that is a max of 1650.. (oh wait keep in mind your psu will draw MORE than the 1200 it is giving to the machine.. by like.. alot. )  so realistically.. you can do it on 15 amp breakers IF you have pretty much NOTHING else on the circuit.. how to find out? flip a breaker.. what all went off... that;s all on the same circuit. voila.


my bad.. the rest of HIS question. sorry still getting coffee in me.

Actually, I clamped mine at the breaker and based on voltage at the time vs the amperage I clamped mine were using 1180 watts. That includes the power supply. So the power supply doesn't draw a "lot" more. The efficiency factor is printed on them too.

Wow I gotta get me some of those then.. I knew bitmain was good about power efficiency but damn.. (most psu's no matter what they "claim as efficiency isn't anywhere near it in the real world - I assume they base calculations on best case scenarios a million things will go into it in the end including dust on the fans etc..)  anyway so the miner is probably using say 900-ish of that .. when you start drawing close to the 1200 it will start using more (that last bit is almost exponential because the heat, voltage drop it will start drawing more.. so you should be good so long as you are keeping it under max.. they might have a chart of the draw at bitmain, you can probably figure where you will get peak performace from that.

Sorry mate but you're dead wrong.

Here's a simple version of the GPL https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v3-(gpl-3) for those of you who aren't involved in anything open-source or legal. Pretty clear cut.

but by doing what you are about to do you will make him cease to work on updating/fixing stuff and in the future not have the desire to share anything that he fixes for himself

Yep that's probably what's going to happen. You fuckers are so greedy to make 1$ more that everyone else, you don't care about supporting crypo you just want to make money. Guess what, everyone has D3's and if everyone's work better it's no different than if they all worked shitty. No one stands to gain from a system of hidden code to protect the financial interest of the few. We might as well just give up and go back to big banks for that.

I think you missed my question. I understand that my power supply will only use up to its maximum but what ASIC voltage setting is that? 13/13/13 or could it be 1/20/1 or what happens if I do 20/20/20 is it going to pop a circuit? The whole point is I'm trying to not pop a circuit at all so let's my setting is 15 amps (just guessing) what does that come down to in terms of asic voltage 13/13/13? 15/15/15 or how can I know? Flipping a breaker is what I'd like to avoid completely!

This you can´t answer in General, because every Miner and hashboard is different.
