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

[jbmod]

First of all, thank you Blissz for the work. My first message here at bitcointalk, cheers!!!

Is that normal having a hashrate of one board disappearing and coming back all the time?

The power usage still same when it happens but as I am mining in nicehash and when I see there is a decrease in hash rate also on their dashboard, what can it be? I am running my D3 at about 9500Gh/s(only two chains) as I am using a pc PSU while they ship APW3++.

I noticed the same phenomena... I'm using two D3 with regular PC power supplies (because Bitmain APW++ were not delivered), one PSU capable of 1500W the other one with 1200W. The one D3 with a 1200W PSU shows some strange behavior, while the other one runs with 0 HW errors all the time.

The strange behavior is:
Chain 1 has sometimes only 55 ASICs, sometimes 54 ASICs, sometimes 60.
Sometimes Chain 1 is completely gone and non-existent.

I found out that a reboot sometimes solves this issue, must be a problem during initialization. I tried a lot with voltage settings and frequency and was able to get it somehow stable with at least 60 ASICs - but I get a lot of HW errors and (probably miscalculated) 9500GH/s on Chain 1. Can't be true.

But let's try to switch to the APW++ PSU and see if this makes any difference.

For Extreme performance that use power up to 1400 watt : If I push my room temperature to 10c, can I go further ? Let said YOLO performance ? So Im not wasting the 200 watt left in my PSU. Anyone done this ?

*I dont have problem with electric bill

haha sure, if you can keep the chips cool enough (below 80 deg would be nice). Set fan to 100%. Let us know how far it goes. I don't recommend to run it 24/7 at 1400+ watt as one day you either have a dead PSU or a fried board I am afraid

Thanks mate. Im still waiting for 2x D3 came for November batch. I hope it can go to 21-22 ghs so I can get 0.035++ for this month each. Assume BTC price goes to $10000 next year, I should ROI in 5-6 month then just let the miner died. Finger crossed

I got an email from Bitmain today, they're sending me 1 D3 and 6 PSU's.  I ordered 6 D3's and 6 PSUs.  Here we have some people getting D3s without PSUs and I'm getting only 1 D3 with all 6 PSUs...smh....

are you running on 110V or 220V? if its 110V then the 1200V is not able to supply proper power.

i'm a bad idea.... in the cgminer source for d3 if i delete xcoin.c and rename groestl.c in xcoin.c and recompile soure of cgminer, put it in the firmware and run on my d3 .... what's is the result? @blissz can you prepare it for me and i want test... thanks

I want to test it too

i can't be so simple ... timings, sequence  , etc

[crackfoo]

still have --balance  mode on the to-do list?

[Duke33]

Is possible to install the L3+ firmware on D3?

I had this same question in my head for the first 21 pages of this forrum.
reading thru the other pages now, but had to comment on this

Guys i haven't seen it commented on yet , but everyone should know -
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE ARE STILL TO REACH THEIR BUYERS.
* from the production numbers i heard, there's approx 18,000 of these for november batch & 21,000 Dec Batch + still selling at times

As a community how can we collectively spread this hashing and work together to create a solid result for everyone.
We have 30 of these, and 25 A5's coming from Inno in the next 12-20 days
** We would be happy to offer financial assistance to a team that wants to work on developing Some Additional Progress

Thanks for the original Blitzsss Poster for his efforts so far.
I look forward to additional information, and details on how we can help ( No Programming or Electrical Engineering Knowledge Here )

Hi guys, I have a law firm and I have already threatened BM, if we get together we can do a class action, if we decide all together my studio is available.

We need to pump the Helium x11 coin when it comes out as the greatest coin ever

or

We need to make out OWN x11 coin..which is dubious at best an idea.....perhaps call it FUbitmain


(Well, hell, I can always use it as a 'space heater' in the winter or in the summer as a 'doorstop' ..er wait ..I have 2....DAMN IT)

Love it! Where do I sign up? I'd love to shove it up Bitmain.  One thing we can do is attack their new AI program on social media using strategic consumer targets and educate companies thinking of adopting anything that's bitmain related.  In the short term they won't see the effects but as there's a constant bombardment they will feel the effects.  Give them a little bit of dose of the "Saul Alinsky" tactics used in politics.  

Edit:  Heck, I'm starting right now by targeting Riot Blockchain.  They want to acquire 1200 bitcoin machines from Bitmain.  https://www.streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/Riot+Blockchain+%28RIOT%29+to+Acquire+1%2C200+Bitcoin+Mining+Machines+Manufactured+by+Bitmain/13455155.html

Edit: K, started a twitter campaign against bitmain #BOYCOTTBITMAIN #BITMAINLIES, spread the word. 

I agree. Lets do something about BITMAIN. We should also find a way to sue BITMAIN for their dishonest practice. So far I think, this is how they work..I am sure the list is long.
1. First build machine to test on their own pool Antpool
2. When the profitability goes down and they see there is a possibility that it will go down, they start selling those machine to the foolish public. If you see the first ones that gets their hand on those machines are the Chinese people
3. They flood the market with machines to discredit the Coins or make it go down and pick up a new one.

Spread this to their facebook and twitter, maybe someone like to join.

First without your firmware I would have two paper weights. The stock and the new Bitmain firmware is too unstable.


However, Could you please explain your dev fee to me? You have two running simultaneously and to my uneducated mind it appears you are reaping almost all the hashing power.


thank you..

It depends on the pool you are using, you must have at least two other pools as the backups, if your first pool is down. The last two pools are belong the dev and he takes 1.5% fees.

It seems your first pool was down and it switched to the active pool to mine instead, in this case, the dev's pool. So find more pools as backups, or you will give your hard works to the dev.

anyone can help a guide for extract content of file initramfs.bin.SD ... thanks

How can i join?

Download 7 zip , then extract it , then extract it again .

If we can understand how it works, we can do something.  Xhash function is very interesting.

[heythorp]

Thank you May for the reply.


The problem is my pools always seem to be dead no matter which ones I use. including nicehash. Dev pools and what comes stock seem to work just fine.

IF he is only supposed to take 1.5% then why is he getting way way more. There is a problem with how he is taking the 1.5% then.

I don't mind paying it but as it is right now he owns my machine unless I fiash back and then I have paper weights lol.

@heythorp
Why is your one hashing card dead in that screenshot too?  It's not producing anything?

Flash back the Bitmain firmware or turn it off until the problem is solved, don't lose more than you are already are.

I don't know if is a good idea and if is possibile........ but...
if we change the way of think?
we are trying to mod the firmware of d3 for use with other algo.....
If we make an algo that works only with D3???
