2.1T 900W, Innosilicon Blake256 D9 DecredMaster/ 3.83T 1380W, S11 SiaMaster

Don't know if you guys noticed but Inno released an updated firmware version for the D9 dated July 6. I had been running with it for a couple of days. It didn't fix the random reboots and it didn't provide any additional configuration options. It did seem to drop my hash rate without dropping power. I will be going back to the June firmware.

I have also downgraded the firmware to June firmware because I have not noticed nothing of better performance.

How can you downgrade the firmware?

You can re-apply the June firmware without problems

The price of D9 fell drastically, it sure was a huge mistake buying it in the initial phase.

Yes, the price has dropped very much, learn to look forward to never trust a Chinese company again. They fuck everyone

What was the initial price?

The problem is, that too many people are hyped by cryptomining, even people who dont have any idea about crypto in detail. You can see that because there are a lot of really "simple" questions in chats and threads about basics that everybody should know before buying an ASIC. If the community would think and calculate a bit more, the difficulties would not get messed up so badly because nobody would buy 3rd and 4th batches.... even 2nd batches at the given prices. ASIC producers would not make so much easy money and lose the incentive to flood markets with mass ASICs.

I agree that people who are horny for a quick and easy profit do not count on the network's difficulties and the loss of profit. the second issue is innosilicon is releasing batches for the batches. I bought 2 batches a week after ending it, just released 3batches from promotion 2 for 1. I feel cheated.

Can someone share the D9 June firmware?  It is no longer available on the Inno support website.

 I have upgraded to July firmware and seems to be having more issue, one of the chip occasionally dropped off and will have to reboot to get it back up.

thanks,

I have it. If you can setup an FTP address, I can upload it to you. You can also try asking Inno to send it to you.

Thanks.  Could you please upload the Inno D9 June firmware to below Google drive?  The link should be anyone can upload the file so you may sign in with your google account to upload.

Should be there now.

Can anyone else give input on the july 20th firmware update? Worth it or not? Referring to b29+20180720_.... firmware.

If you're referring to the July 6th firmware for the D9, I would suggest NOT doing it. Stay with the June firmware.

Curious to hear everyone's Hashrate poolside and daily rewards at this point. I'll start.

D9 (1st batch)
FW: 20180602.swu
UI: 2.3Th/s
Pool: Coinmine.pl
24hr Poolside Hash Rate: 2.27Th/s
Daily Rewards: 0.14 DCR

I'm still getting the random reboots, been online 11hrs, and crazy reading on fan speed of 255% on Performance mode.

Is anyone getting the advertised 2.4Th/s?

[Philopolymath]

Well my S11/B52's with the latest Inno. firmware averages about 4.1Th. on factory setting 4.3Th on performance
BUT THE HW ERRORS ARE INSANE.....I think this is a stratum problem, (tons of invalid nonce messages) means pools aren't well set-up for ASICS
I have great airflow/cooling so tried the performance mode but power usage and temp increase does not justify the minuscule hashrate increase...and yes a board tends to die on performance and is tricky to get it back up with reboots and downgrade of tuning.
Also when running on performance tuning, units vibrate like hell when temps reach 80c and fans are 80%+ added noise is considerable


My D9/B29's have exact same issues. 1.8Th on Balanced 2.1Th on Factory 2.36Th on performance.
Same problem with insane amount of HW errors..Performance mode tuning is not worth the heat and power consumption and board problems.
At least they don't have the high vibration problem when running hot in performance tuning mode.

I have some IBelink's on the way...had enough of Inno/Dragon....unless they do another huge drop in price AND accept BTC at market rate.
Even then very reluctant.

The daily reward seems to be ok, I get around that but with 2.04TH/s, on efficient mode because it is boiling hot here in the UK. I'm on f2pool. I get 2.5 TH/s on performance mode, june firmware. My reboots seems to be much milder now, around 2 days or more before resets.

What kind of power draw are you getting from the D9 the wall when you set these to efficient mode? I am thinking about picking one up used and was curious about the heat and noise levels when they are run in low power mode.

In efficiency mode, power draw is about 850W and hashes about 2.1Th pool side (even though the web interface shows 2.4Th). Noise isn't reduced too much, but this isn't a very noisy unit when compared to others (e.g., bitmain S9 or A3). Temperature runs at about 60-70C.

Anyone who is thinking about upgrading their firmware on the D9 and still is going to mine decred, be aware that this has a change in it that results in 100% rejection rate from some decred pools. I've already contacted the pool operator and he explained to me that it was a bug in the D9 firmware and he was reaching out to inno directly to fix. I just reverted back to a previous firmware version.

This firmware is not working for coinmine.pl
