Bitburner Fury - Hashrate Protection

[gMaN1337]

i got my bitBurner fury yesterday
but he runs "only" max 47gh/s  no matter what settings I use ...

[mgio]

Seems like people are getting 47-52GHs per board?

Anyone measure the power consumption yet?

Cryptx - when are you going to pay the 100 € /Board ?

[hephaist0s]

I got mine yesterday, also; received initial notification from FedEx last Monday, then it actually shipped on Friday and arrived yesterday.

After some very quick fiddling I got it up to ~50GH/s, at which it has been stable overnight. I have not flashed the firmware or gotten much farther in trying to get it to go faster. If someone has success, hopefully they'll post here, or we'll get official instructions on the steps to take to get to 64GH/s from burnin or cryptx.

The --bitburner-fury-voltage option will only take effect if a board identifies as BBF (as opposed to BTB) in cgminer. The current firmware will always identify as BTB, although getting it to identify as BBF is as simple as changing the USB product string from "BitBurner" to "BitBurner Fury".

I'm going to hold off on changing the USB product string until pull #499 makes it into an official release. This is because changing the USB product string will stop the boards from being recognised by older cgminer versions.

Yes, this is a bit of a mess. But hopefully in a few weeks time, everyone will be using new firmware and new cgminer which will render all this "add 300 mV to the desired core voltage" business obsolete.

Sorry for spreading misinformation.  I saw the code, and I saw burnin's statement that the new firmware would only work with the cgminer fork, and I put two and two together and made five...

BTW.... Do think of those of us who will shortly be mining with both boards...  I do understand wanting to get it into cgminer first, but can we try and get this resolved within days rather than weeks?

Yes.

--avalon-options 115200:16:10:d:256 --bitburner-voltage 1230

85 Watts. 42.59 Ghash/sec.

--avalon-options 115200:16:10:d:280 --bitburner-voltage 1400

132 Watts. 50.22 Ghash/sec.

The BitBurner Fury was advertised as:

• BitBurner Fury with external clock: Hashrate 40 GH/s – 80 GH/s (best demonstrated 64 Ghash/s)
  
• Power requirement: 50 up to 100 Watts  (dependent on overclocking)

I feel sad and angry.

Why always the ripp-offs in bitcoinland?

Cryptx - when are you going to pay the 100 € /Board ?

Well, cryptx? Are you gonna show your true colours here?

They need to do better than 100 €, especially for those that ordered before they slipped in the Hashrate protection.

Exaggerated hash & power consumption. Late delivery. It's false advertising. Grounds for a refund. I should think Paypal will agree.

[RoadStress]

Also time to change the item description with the actual hashrate on the Asic-Hardware website:

http://www.asic-hardware.com/product/bitburner-fury-incl-chips/

At the moment you are deceiving potential customers. And if you review the price you may be selling shit loads more boards.
Just saying. Up to you.

He did that from the start of the shop since he advertised 80Gh/s which was never demonstrated (5Gh/s per chip was never achieved by anyone). That's the reason we never saw a fully populated board hashing. Oh well just another fiasco in the bitcoin world. I am waiting for the promised refunds too, let's see how will that work.

FlappySocks you ordered with a coupon? Won't Paypal refund just the difference and won't that be a bit too much of a loss?

Yes, but my contract was with Burnin, so I will get my money back from him.

If Cryptx lower the price to a more reasonable level, where it will at least ROI, i'd be happy with that.  Hell I would even buy some more.
But I am not going to pay full price without a fight.

I wanted to buy in but the Gh swing was waaaaay too iffy for the price.    Sorry guys.

Those who have received your board, how much tax did you pay outside europe?

132 watts!!! OUCH!

That's over 1 KW for a 8 board machine!! I was expecting somewhere near half that.

[Starcraftman]

Ok so I am having issues with my single board, its hashing around 30 GH/s.

1) using firmware BitBurnerFury_08.10.13
2) using someone42's latest git that Burnin posted, compiled in ubuntu 12.04.3
3) ./configure --enable-avalon --enable-bitfury was used in compiling
4) adequately cooled and powered
5) 90-95% HW errors on newest firmware/cgminer and older stable versions

Any idea what could be wrong?

[mutex]

Judging from other bitfury based boards performance, it looks like to consume 1J/GH or less bitfury chips have to be downclocked to about 1.5GH/s. So, with 16 chips on the board, you'll have to downclock it to 24 GH/s

What voltage/frequency settings are you using? Setting too high a frequency can cause close to 100% HW errors. Also, it is normal to see a huge rush of HW errors just after the board is power-cycled. Eventually (after ~1000), the rush should stop. To make accurate HW error measurements, you should restart cgminer, or zero statistics ('d', 'z') after the rush.

Stock frequency and voltage. Restarting CGminer doesn't help.

BTW there are assembly and cgminer instruction on asic-hardware.com site.

https://www.asic-hardware.com/assembly-instructions-part-2/

Code:

The most important option is –avalon-options which argument could look like this: 115200:128:10:50:256, this sets the frequency to 256Mhz for a 4 board cluster.

The first part is the baudrate, always 115200.
The next value is the number of miners, this must be the total number of chips in cluster multiplied by 2 (32 for 16 chips or one board).
Then the number of chips, always 10.
then of CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE the timeout value this is frequency dependent.
at last the clock frequency of the asic chips (this sets the hashing speed)

example timeout values / clock frequencies:
45:282
47:270
50:256 (default)
example CGMiner command:
sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 -u <your_bitcoin_address> -p x –avalon-options 115200:32:10:50:256 –bitburner-voltage 1300
