hello jason,

the chips in Z9s and minis are alle undervolted  can you make them somehow overvolt?

some guy is showing Minis with 20k+ hashrate

bye

can you share a link to the 20k hashrate source?

Thank you,

Contacted topic starter - prices look insane

does anyone want cheaper or free public version ?

I agree, they are insane. 1 ZEC per machine, or less in quantity to get 33% or more increase over factory clock, with near-immediate responses on inquiries and requests for help, for a machine that costs 31ZEC to import (including tariffs) to the US. 3% is entirely too much!

Also, I have a pitchfork if you'd like. It is available for 0.25ZEC, free shipping.

(Apologies, my sarcasm is running high pre-coffee...)

People always want something for nothing. May I ask how you accomplished enforcing one image per z9? did you add a remote service for disabling the miner if an image is used on more than one mac?

Hello Zidrimas, I have not looked at voltage control yet. That is on my todo list.

I'd prefer to stay on topic about Z9s and hashrates, but I can appreciate all curiosity there. I too would be curious.

Thank you,

You forgot to say you take donations as well
All you did - was changing few bytes in original cgminer binary. My understanding is that it costs no more than ~10$ per machine

I hope community will have free version very soon

This is my last response on this topic.

I too sincerely hope the community has a free version very soon (they do, now).  Anyone performing a modification should remember the value of their own time and work performed relative to the value received by the end user. From a value perspective, I know from my own mining operation over the last few months that the only thing that really made it reasonably successful is overclocking. I can appreciate your viewpoint when you say "all you did".

Could someone with more experience produce this faster, quicker? Without doubt, yes they could.
In my case, I've put a solid 40+ hours into this project just between Friday and Monday. This project is a net-loss to me, no matter which way I swing it, because I know the value of 40 hours of my time and the resulting work.

I released the 575Mhz version to get feedback and provide to the community with 300 downloads in 24 hours. One can reasonably assume that means they are running on at least 300 machines successfully.

Total donations from those: $0.00

There are, for example, requests to provide voltage control -- I know for fact these machines can do 80k+ Sol in my testing, troubleshooting, debugging, analysis, and resulting modifications. I don't have that stable yet, but...

So there is plenty of opportunity here.

Thank you for your input and sharing your viewpoint,

Jason

Hey, we are all super grateful for what you did on here bro.. I don't understand why people have to shit on your efforts. If it was as simple as changing a couple lines of code then more people would have released it. Guess what everyone??? Only one person did! I believe he wanted to help (why he released a 575 for free) as well as get a small return as well for his efforts (Unlocked 650). He didn't have to share it in the first place and could have just kept it but he didn't so why so much hate? BTW chip temps were the problem, set at 70% and kept below 74c and staying stable at 650.

I agree, at 1zec for two miners, it’s $130 for 2 miners costing $6000 plus. Pretty cheap.

But people can be even more cheaper...

Rep efudd.

All you cheap f***s wanting it for free can piss right off. He is selling his intellectual property, just like you bought Bitmain's miner... it doesn't matter how easy it was for them to build such a machine, you couldnt have done it yourself. You are getting an increase in profits. And another note to how "easy" it was to alter the frequency, it doesn't matter because YOU weren't able to do it and hindsight is always 20/20.

Great job my friend. Thank you.

While I appreciate the support, let's try to keep the tone here civil. :-)

Hi efudd!
Are you planning a firmware for the Z9 mini? If yes, share the road map

That's fine. I do not own or intend to own a Z9, so it doesn't bother me. I was just curious.

[efudd]

Would ya'll prefer a 600Mhz version that includes a 1-1.5% dev fee over the other options?

Seeking inputs.

Thank you,

Jason

Thanks all of you guys for sharing your point of view - if you want to pay 100$ per machine - so as you wish keep paying

patch looks very simple itself, it took less than few hours to figure out how, unfortunately I didn't have a chance to check it previously because don't own Z9

but just checked - and it works like a charm, below are my own screenshots

I want to purchase but I am a newb account. What to do ?

If you have previous experience with reverse engineering and know some ARM assembly, it can be done. Also, you should let that system settle -- the WU number is about 1/6th what it should be.

If you can make frequencies above 650 stable also, it'd be a great boon to the community.

Good work!

Now if you really want a project all you have to do is figure out how to get the Z9 to mine Equihash 144, 5.. It would be badass to have all the chips split the data requirement and work together.. That would be a crazy firmware project but probably nearly impossible. I would really be interested in some mini upgrades though, I have batch a batch 1 and batch 2 running now. Would be legit if they could push 20k sols a piece.

Haha. If I could have done that, I wouldn't have sold my mini's. It's more about the hardware than firmware. ASICs are not field programmable and the IO path for crypto doesn't lean itself towards intercept to help with off-ASIC memory.
