[revenant2017]

Yesterday i was browsing at http://www.innosilicon.com/html/a9-miner/index.html and saw the price only at 1255. Now it's 3180. What the hell happened?

Not buying it as i'm just doing research about it yesterday. If in case i bought that one yesterday, they have the right to change the price on their own will.

would someone have the balls and open their A9 and remove a heatsink of one of the chips and make a detailed picture of it? i would pay money for that. please PM me

They got taken down by the sites image proxy (?). This was the best I got, werent the best shots.

New firmware arrived...
A little More stable more hashrate but still stable rejected rate.
And it also support "xnsub" for Nicehash now...

After 09 Oct 2018 firmware, Innosilicon remove Logs in user interface but u can access via <ip address>/logs

Does anybody know if we need to upgrade our miners for the Zcash sapling fork? I am still on one of the good pieces of firmware but if I am unable to mine Zcash that will be an issue. (I mine NiceHash anyway but it is possible that I could be mining Zcash) So does anyone know if a firmware update is required? Also as for the memory problem Y'all remember when I was talking about HiveOS on these ASIC's? I talked with the Dev and he has implemented a reboot cron timer on it, for either the ASIC or the Miner software. https://github.com/minershive/hiveos-asic You can see how to enable the reboot command down below. They also have a bulk tool installation. Do keep in mind it does take a while to install on the ASIC (About 4-5 minutes) and once you have all of your ASIC's on Hive you can initiate the command all at once for all of your ASIC's. They will all appear as offline but come back after about 15 minutes but they will keep mining and after that is done you have no need to worry about the memory leak error as it will reboot the ASIC every 24 hours. I have not had a problem with the memory leak since I initiated this command. I recommend that y'all do the same.

I believe only "nodes" need to update for sapling. Miners are fine to the best of my awareness.

It would be great if you could make a video on how to do that.

Hi,
Just come back from a weeks holiday,tried to log into my A9's and none of them will let me log in.

I'm using Windows 10, and have tried IE and Chrome but just cannot log into the web interface on any of the A9's. I've tried rebooting and powercycling and clearing the cache in Chrome and IE.

What's more confusing, or maybe relief, I can log into the web interface via my smartphone. SSH access is unaffected.

I'm convinced it isn't a problem with the A9's but something with Windows, possibly a Windows update that's occurred during October.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so have they found a fix for it ?

Thanks

[UPDATE] Think I solved the problem. It was an update to my PC's Bitdefender Anti-Virus SW. I put in the IP addresses of the A9 websites and everything worked again.

Hello,

I just setup my first A9 Zmaster.  After 12 hours my hash rates range from 35 to 50, bouncing up and down.  Does this ever stabilize?

Do I have a bad board?  My first board never goes above 10KSol/s

Miner Info
#   Hash Rate   Status   Accepted Rejected   HW   Temperature
1   7.67 KSol/s   Alive   357/21   416   64 ℃
2   15.01 KSol/s   Alive   703/7   64   65 ℃
3   15.33 KSol/s   Alive   751/3   58   63 ℃

Thanks,

What pool are you using ?
I had problems in some pools but I found Slushpool and Poolin the best pools for A9 ( Cuz of high HW errors in some pools )

I'm using Nicehash and have the latest firmware update.

[GarySeven]

I had the same problem until I updated the firmware... no more issues with fluctuating hash rates.

I've updated the firmware and still fluctuating hash rates.  I thinks it's my first board that never goes above 10KSol/s that may be the issues.  If it ran as fast as the others I think I would always be close to 50KSol/s overall.  Does anyone else have one card that much different from the other 2 cards?

I have heard that the first batch of A9's did hash at a lower rate, but that should be spread across all boards, not just a single board but that could be a possibility. Boards should either be dead or alive, not half dead.

Try changing up the PSU leads to the boards?

Hello any body has the full name of update 20180911 or 20180828 the last update of 20181023 lower the hash rate anf first chain acting like crazy

thanksss

[GarySeven]

You probably just need to wait for your rig to stabilize after the upgrade. I did all my rigs the other day and the lowest hash average is 49.87 and the highest is 51.89 on the Factory setting.

Thank you

where are you mining?

I'm also use factory setting

I'm mining on nicehash but my miner go down to 37kh and up to 60k keep playing between these two values but on nicehash website it's go down to 20k

[GarySeven]

I am on NiceHash as well. I bought a used rig a while back that was doing the same thing as yours. I upgraded the firmware and no more problems.
