Hello I pmed you twice! Thank you !!

Hey Jameslecroc,

Thank you for reaching out. I was working on updates to this firmware until after 4am eastern, and it's almost 10am eastern now and I think you caught me before I woke up. I responded to your PM a few moments ago.

Thank you!

Oooohhh updates?? What kinds of things is there to look forward to, if you don't mind me asking? Also, will these be avalible to people who previously purchased the firmware?

1) I am looking at per-hashboard frequency control, so systems that do not hold overclock on all boards, may be better tunable. I'm not sure how successful this is going to be because that functionality is not in the firmware at all right now.
2) I want to look at voltage management to help hold higher overclocks. I think #1 is more important than #2 at the moment, though.
3) ??

Thanks,

Folk,

I think I am caught up with all PMs/inquiries again for today. If I missed you, please reach back out to me and I'll respond as quickly as I can.

Thank you!

I installed the 575 firmware version to test it out and it seems to hash less then the turbo firmware. Is there something you changed besides frequency?  My miner on turbo mode 550mhz I hashed an avg of 49 to 51.  And now my avg. Is 47 on 575mhz.  So not sure why now it is getting less with your firmware. Any help will be appreciated. Sucks to now make less

Purchased the firmware about 2 days ago, running on 650 ever since. Working well, averaging around 56-57 ksols/s

Can you check you PM. thanks

Crypto305, if your system is not handling 575Mhz, you should downgrade back to the factory firmware. You either have a power issue, or you simply did not get a machine that can handle overclocks well. I would first power down, swap power connections between boards, and try again. Keep track of which power board you move the connections from the middle board to. Try 575 again and see if the problem stays with the board, or moves to a different board.

If it stays with the board, you may simply be limited to 500 and 550. :/

Thank you,

Jason

One thing I would really like to be able to do is run my Z9/mini on nicehash like the A9. I got in contact with bitmain as well as nicehash when I first received my Z9mini. Nicehash said they knew exactly what needed to be changed in the firmware to support them and they had told Bitmain about it before.. When I emailed Bitmain they said they had no intenton to change the firmware to support them. I know I tried to run on nicehash and at the beginning it worked just fine, then about 10 min into running it would just get overloaded with rejected shares and would have to stop it.. I just know 95% of the time nicehash is more profitable to mine and it would be cool to have that option. I know you got alot on your plate Efudd but just something I was interested in. Thanks!

Hmmm. Do you have a contact(s) at nicehash? I'd love to know what needed to be changed...

EDIT: I sent a note to nicehash to see if I can get in touch with a technical contact. I think this would be a great addition.

You can use MPH as an alternative.

***NEW: Get 10% for Referrals!***

If you refer someone to this firmware and they purchase and provide your referral ID (your referral ID is the ZEC address I provided you), you will get 10% of that purchase!
How does this work? If the ZEC address i gave you is t1Lb33vU837UU9ubeXkQMY3K2idVETtUYNi, ask your referral to provide that to me. Simple as that. I will contact you and provide you 10% of their purchase back!
Have not purchased for yourself? No problem! Contact me for a referralID unique to you (I'll provide a ZEC address) and use it the same way. 10% back to you!

Thank you!

I am interested as well. Can you update us how to proceed to get the firmware, please?

sukitars,

Your download has been pulled from 4 distinct locations and has been disabled. Please PM/DM me to discuss.

EDIT: Thank you for reaching out to me. This has been resolved.

Thank you,

Jason

[efudd]

I am now caught up with PMs/emails - If I have missed yours, please reach out to me again and I apologize for missing you.

Thanks!

Loving the firmware! The voltage adjusting idea is great and I cant wait for you to release that! That would solve a lot of problems with board 3 being more sensitive on the z9 mini's ect ect.  Have been running your firmware for 2 days now hashing nice! cheers !

I put my Z9 at 681 mhz and it wouldn't make it past 12 minutes.   I adjusted the frequency to 675 mhz and I have been running for 40 min at avg. sol sped of 59.26.  Im getting 62.45 sol currently.  Chip temps are at 69c/70c.... I have noticed that the machine LOVES under 72c.  I am pretty sure that the avg. will increase over the next hour or so.  Current temp outside where I live is 50f or 10c...I'm sure this helps too!  GREAT JOB JASON!

I hope this helps the group

Awesome -- you are doing better than mine did! My "good" z9 would do 681, but would not do 675! lol.... and you are getting the same/better sol at a lower wattage.

win!
