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

[taserz]

@Blissz: If your pools go down (unlikely, but possible), and the 2 hour timer triggers the devminer switch for the 1m50s and finds that both of the dev pools are dead... what happens? Does cgminer restart? If so, then after 5 minutes, it attempts to connect to dev pools again, finds them dead, and cgminer restarts... ad nausium until the dev pools come back? This is a pretty important thing to me as I rent out my machines and want high reliability for my renters and don't want to screw you out of your much deserved devfee.

Just block it in your firewall and never mine the dev pool duh


Or download awesome miner. Have a trigger for everytime it changes to dev pool to then change pool back to main pool. Done

Not the problem, or an answer.

Perfect answer

i already setting using recommend blissz fw and got 950watt with 17.700mhs
my temp also cool down to 78 below.. before my d3 temp around 85-90
will try to setting another 10 d3..

Do you know how to estimate the real power consumption? I do not have device to measure it.
Currently I also get it down to 475 and 5 volt (or 4 still good), 17400. What watt can I estimate?

i estimate with wattmeter. and i do try and error to get what i want for my setting
for now, i adjust to make my machine work at 1000watt and temp under 80.
roughly i can get 18ghz for this setting.

I tried the latest proper release (not the beta) and after about an hour one of my cards would fail dramatically on normal settings. Flashed back to latest firmware from BM and problem has disappeared at what one would assume are the same settings.

Does the Blissz release include fixes from the latest BM D3 firmware?

Loved the options this gave me to optimise each board but I'd be restarting the unit every hour~ to enjoy the privilege. Definitely staying tuned for updates though!

I will post an update of the Beta firmware soon. It will help you if you have boards that go into xxxx very often. (it's based on the newest source / rewritten all code)

Sounds good I'll have a look.

If you have any more details / photos of a tear down on the D3 it would be great to see. Only had a D3 for 1.5 weeks~ but keen to see what I can do to improve it.

Hey blissz, I just changed the original firmware with yours, but I can't set it up properly for not having the HW errors. Even at 400Mhz on all, global and on all chains, I still have HW. What do you suggest?

Try a higher voltage setting when you are at lowest maybe 1-2, every hashboars is different, you must try.

[Gosmo]

should I tweak boards one by one or globally?

I am running on very low electricity costs inside a DC where temps are from aircon. Any reason why I shouldn't let the fans run @ 100%? I mean nice for the D3's if the chips is sitting at 69-71 degrees Celsius. Lastly... any reason why I shouldn't push them a little harder if I can keep the temps below 79?

Thanks!

How does it answer the question about what happens? If my rigs weren't rented out for the next three days i'd be more than happy to try, but as of right now, i can't afford to have the down time as it reflects quite poorly on my RPI.

One of my D3's will only load the main page (with nothing on it) and won't let me go to any other pages to reboot or flash, etc. I tried the reset with a paperclip, but no go. Any ideas? Thank you

I had the same problem but I tried multiple reset attempts and it worked eventually. In short, turn D3 on - let it completely boot (2-3 minutes) - press reset for 10 seconds - fault light starts blinking - reboot


If the fault light doesn't start blinking, try again.

best of luck

Hello there,
I am using 562M frequency and 13 vots (defaut)
my fan speeds are 3.570 and 4.020 rpm.
Temps are 75, 69, 73 celcius.
I have HW error per chips are 8, 27, 0 and icreasing

Do I need to change something?
How can I check the HW errors?

Hello there,
When I check /var/log/messages file, it shows the record as below but my 3'rd pool is stratum-dash.antpool.com:25 actually. any idea?
Switching to pool 3 stratum+tcp://dash.suprnova.cc:9991

Your pools are 0, 1, 2.

stratum+tcp://dash.suprnova.cc:9991 - is dev pool

They are just cheap fans.  There is no reason not to have them at 100% if you can stand the noise.  They don't take up that much electricity anyway, even in high cost areas.

@blissz

are you working on a firmware update for the l3+

greetings!

@blissz

are you working on a firmware update for the l3+

greetings!

donno how he could, since he doesn't have one to test... L3+ is a scrypt miner. this thread is about the D3, an X11 miner.

I would like a feature that allows us to tune each fan individually. This would allow us to tune for silence as if you can hit a particular fan speed for each fan I think you could reduce noise due to resonances created by each fan. Vibration Resonances as well resonances in air presure hiting the next fans blades on the output side.

I am really enjoying the latest BETA - working for me great.

hello there,
I am mining from zpool stratum+tcp://x11.mine.zpool.ca:3533 adress.
After than a few hours of working it says "dead". an switching to my second pool which is antpool.
I was never faced this kind of "dead" status when i was working with stock firmware. any comment?

Thanks
