While trying to investigate this, I was banned from the flypool API.
--snip--

I've tried to reach out to them, but for the time being I am personally going to remove work from flypool until I can get an explanation.

Thank you,

Jason

The ban, I think, was due to API calls -- it has since been lifted and flypool is communicating with me on the concern now.

Thank's.

I've started collecting data on what is going on with nicehash. I'm going to have to contact them because I do not see obvious explanations for the failures. extranonce is supported by this firmware, it just does not function properly sometimes. I have just submitted the traces to nicehash to try to get some assistance in  understanding why this works sometimes, and fails sometimes.

Thank you,

Jason

Ok, thank's. I hope that will solve the issue.

Yeah, I've been through that, and the patches. The extranonce stuff actually appears to be working just fine unless there is something wrong in the calculations of the returned results. I have two traces that are exactly the same (as best I can tell) except for the work requested to be performed. nonce's the same, etc... one works, the other doesn't on NH.

When I connect to some of their stratum, they provide extranonce information back, on some they don't.... I may do a set of tests tomorrow without #xnsub and see what happens.

Here is an example -- one of NH's servers did provide me an extranonce setting:

{"id":null,"method":"mining.set_extranonce","params":["0000908e00"]}

Yet that format does not match their specification. It should have a second parameter option of '5' per their own documentation... I just don't know at this point in time.


Thank you for providing the link!

Now I am connected to the nicehash pool without #xnsub. With such a connection, rejected are much smaller than with #xnsub. And even with so many deflected ball, the profit is greater than when connected to the flypool. By the way, when you connect to the Japanese server, reject much smaller..

Hi Jason,

I new here and I'd like to OC my Z9.

What should I do??

Thanks in advanced.

Hello, version 2.0d is linked at the beginning of this thread.

Thank you.

Jason!

When do we wait “ cooming soon “  with z9 mini?

"soon". and not one moment before.
Sorry folk, it is what it is -- I'm focused on getting the paid users update first.

[Antonio2018]

Jason!

I, as a z9 mini user, are also ready to pay for the firmware.

So give me the link fie 2.0d please....

https://releases.broked.net/ - the server was down on accident for http but was running for https. I apologize.

Me too.

OP first post has a link but i am unable to download....
" Time out Error"

Is there another link or possible method to download?

Hi There,

I've downloaded the non-paid dev-fee version of the firmware 2.0d.
My chain1 of 16 asics seems to work fine at 643frequency(drops at 650) while the other 2 cores work well at 650frequency. I was wondering if the system is stable with these settings as i get some serious dumps in hashrate at the zhash pro pool for ZenCash. After a while i catched the system going to 30k/sols and all the cores falling to 10k/sols each in the miner status and then after two minutes they regain their 19k/sols average values.

https://b.radikal.ru/b01/1811/a8/bd51cfc5454b.png

This is my average hashrate when everything is fine.

https://d.radikal.ru/d00/1811/a2/5c5e29edaec6.png

These are the dumps i noticed on the zhash pool. As soon as i catch the cores fall again to 10k/sols in the miner status on your firmware ill try and get a screenshot and post it here.

Is there anything to resolve these issues? I was trying the cores at higher frequency but they were falling to 0k/sols and this is their "stable" clock. The only "bad" thing is that i assume they fall to 20-30k every now and then during a 24hours routine which is not working for me, previously i was using your 575 freq trial, i didn't have any problems with that firmware,

Cheers,
Igor

EDIT* My machine is from batch1.
It has been running smoothly with 575 freq with 91C on the chip with your trial version. Ive made adjustments to make the temp cooler for the new firmware update 2.0d and the chip temps are now 73C/68C/71C for all the chains respectively.

EDIT1: So i was expecting all of the asics to fall at 10k/sols each to a total of 30k/sols what i ran into after tracking the asic average speed for several hours is this:

Where are you trying to download from? What IP address?

There is not anything wrong with the server.

Some boards can not hold overclock. It is rare, but it happens. Your pictures are also small and blurred so I cannot make out a lot of detail. At least in your second picture the pool side average is 54 to 55. That's even with whatever dips you are seeing.

It seems that your miner side average is 55 and your pool side average is 54 -- this looks good. Your pool side dips could be any number of reasons, including random network or pool issues.

The real time is not important -- it is your average (and ultimately the pool side average and share submission rate) that is important. If you are staying in the ~55kSol range and your boards are not dropping, then you are in a good place.

I have 1 board that I constantly have to reset as it goes to 0 -- it's on one system and does not happen on the others. One day it will be fine at 650, the next day it only wants 643. I cannot explain these things.

The higher is the temperature on chip, the lower frequency it will hold. If the difference between temperature during the night and day is 10-15 degrees, then max stable frequency during the night may be 25Mhz higher comparing to max stable frequency during the day.
So adding a feature to automatically slightly overclock/underclock based on the chip temp could be a nice to have.
To test this, check max stable frequency with fans on auto and then with fans on 100%.

i know sometime is good to not say anything but i used this dev fee firmware  and i dont see any profit other than making less than usual just because the fee. i went back to smartass111 free overcloked firmware and i have been running @650 just fine making way more than yours.

this dev fee is killing us, im following your work wich is awsome and i dont take anything off it. but since theres is a free FW and its working flawless i dont see why anyone should pay or use this dev fee fw just to kill their machines to not even make anything other than your dev fee.
