Antminer B3 Bytom Mining First review

[pudic91]

lol my fan speed is 4320 and did not do anything to it. dose vanybody expoerience the same?

[akorsar]

Did that update. I can not set fanspeed

Yep you can't set fan speed. However, you can see current fan speed after the update.

you CAN set fan speed. there is an easy and a permanent way by using SSH.
Here is the Easy Way
1.
Use FireFox Browser or Safari if you have a MAC
go to the D3 Miner Configuration/General Settings, screen
Use the inspector to find #fan_control
change "display:none" to "display"

Once that is changed, it will display that Fan option and you can easily change the setting to whatever you want.
I changed mine to 55%
My fans are running at 3960, and my temps are 36-40.
I could have easily gone lower, but my fans are so much quieter now that I don't need to. Even after rebooting, my fan settings stay.


i didn't post the permanent way because I don't want to be responsible for anyone bricking their unit if they aren't familiar with SSH

Update bmminer.conf with SSH as follows:

.....
                                                                                                                
"api-allow" : "A:0/0,W:*",                                                                                                                                            
"bitmain-fan-ctrl" : true,                                                                                                                                            
"bitmain-fan-pwm" : “65",                                                                                                                                            
"bitmain-use-vil" : true,                                                                                                                                            
"bitmain-freq" : "_ant_voltage=0706",                                                                                                                                
"bitmain-voltage" : "0706",                                                                                                                                          
"multi-version" : "1"                                                                                                                                                
}

Does the shared firmware increase the HS only in the Antminer pool or in all pools? You guys did the update? Or left the default firmware.. I read that someone had problems.. Today Antpool has paid one of 5 payments in pending, slowly slowly maybe they arrive..

New announcement to antpool
Dear users,

According to the latest notice, most exchange platforms will disable BTM ERC20 wallet address (beginning with 0x), and to ensure the security of user’s earnings, Antpool now ask all users to set BTM mainnet address (beginning with bm) in "Settings" to avoid losses. The emergency solution is as follows:

1. We will clear all user’s ERC 20 wallet addresses in the Settings.

2.We will cancel all the pending payments with ERC 20 wallet addresses and resend them later.

3. Please kindly set BTM mainnet wallet address asap, if you need to withdraw BTM.

4. Actually we already began to make BTM payouts on May 18th. It is just that there were some issues with our BTM wallet, so that the progress of the payments would be very slow. Our engineers are urgently dealing with this issue, and it is expected that BTM daily payment will be back to normal on May 28th. If you haven’t received your daily payment before that, please just wait patiently.

 

Note: If users configure wrong wallet address, their earnings will be lost and can’t be recovered!

It should increase the hash rate on all pools. A lot of people did the update. It increases the hash rate by ~30% which translates to a 30% increase in daily profit. The guy who had a problem turned off his miner while it was updating. I also received one of 4 pending payments from Antpool.

I talked to their support today. They don't accept ERC20 addresses anymore. I suggest creating a Bytom wallet address and using it right away.

Perfect, it works, I opened the larger file first, made the flash, then the smaller file, made the Flash.. Leaving both files in RAR format. The HS after 5 min is around 1030h/s..

[larzvegas]

is there an exchange providing an bm address instead of 0x?
Or is the only option the BTM Wallet itself to get the coins out of antpool?
