Fusion Silicon

[minefarmbuy]

Never heard of these guys till recently. Any verified users of their hardware about?

[minefarmbuy]

No one worked with this company before?

We reached out to them and noticed a Singapore IP hitting our site about the same time of communications. 

[HagssFIN]

They are the guys who made BW.com miners (like for example BW.com BW-L21 Litecoin (scrypt) miners earlier.

I have a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4971755.0

[minefarmbuy]

Thanks HF, We reached out for some demo's but haven't gotten very far. Their English site isn't so useful.

[minefarmbuy]

Hagss did you ever get a unit from them?

Hagss did you ever get a unit from them?

No, Cassie went suddenly all silent and has not replied my emails.

I have sent him many many many emails...

I've also sent email to their sales email address.

I now sent another email to their sales email address.

Let's see ..

I was given payment options of USDT, BTC, wire and requested wire details but then told BTC was easiest. ..

Btc is indeed easiest but when dealing with trusted parties, Bitmain is like it is but they are correct when dealing with payments , they have the trust of the users. These guys though are subtle as of now that I am writing. Always verify before doing any transaction just like you did , this is the correct way.

[minefarmbuy]

We always verify, but shifting is what makes us anxious.

Hey guys, I just received two of these units. They work almost as specified. The hashrates I am getting are 262gh/s but the watts are 1,515 watts. However, the cool thing is I found two hidden algorithms in the code: keccak256 and blake2s. I haven't tried activating them yet as my programming knowledge is limited (I could find them, but no idea how to activate them from there). Most undervolting and overclocking that you'd want to do is available in the cgminer.conf file which is nice. Seems to work when I modify it. Will play around to figure out what is most efficient. Anyone else find the hidden algo's and were you able to get them to work?

[minefarmbuy]

Can you get some shots of the unit and UI?

[astraleureka]

A copy of the firmware would be nice for determining what's available. Hardware photos, too!

[Cryptostevo]

Hey guys, @astraleureka is going to help extract the image as I'm not sure how to do that correctly. Will post once we get it. Interested to see what else this machine can do.

[Anderw87]

The website is not working! why?

[Cryptostevo]

The website is not working! why?

Probably due to the Festival. It's back up now.

[kooleaf]

Would you have a copy of the X7 firmware please (standard default non modified)? Received mine and the frequency is locked, I want to lower it. thx

[Cryptostevo]

Hi! Yes I do. Send me a message on telegram or discord:
discord: cryptostevo#6966
telegram: @cryptostevo


Also, these guys are releasing the x7+ maybe end of the month, and the X2 soon (which mines 3 algos including Groestl). Seems to all be in small batches of 200-300 units each.

[kooleaf]

thx Steve. Does someone have the 3.11 firmware version for the X7?

[philipma1957]

I got an email

I think I used this company one time with PayPal and alibaba

https://www.akminer.com/

but it was fall 2017 and a lot was happening.


so THIS is not an endorsement

[minefarmbuy]

Joyson send us email periodically as well. Seem nice enough but unless a reseller is willing to give us net30 we'll look to source from manufactures directly, plus buying inventory isn't something we typically do given how lean we operate.

Also, I'm skeptical to buy something from a fusion right now as their own website has been down for about 24hrs.

Group buy for X2 at 3600usd inc psu and shipping

[Janeeeeeeeeee]

Hi guys,

Only 80 units X2 are available now. Let me know when you are interested.

The best price for it.

[minefarmbuy]

fusionsilicon doesn't even have X2 for sale. Where are people getting these?

Hello
X7+ will be postponed till July/August and X2 is now available for only 80 units.
send me an email if you want.

Hello. The hash rate is constantly falling for me, 1 card does not work at all on one ASIC. What to do, tell me? Have a firmware?

I had the same bad luck with my X7. I ended up sending it back for warranty fix, even though it was supposed to be new. Hoping it gets there.

[hanspeter77]

can im run the miner without a pc onyl with ehternett connektion?

[iscgdave]

Hey guys, @astraleureka is going to help extract the image as I'm not sure how to do that correctly. Will post once we get it. Interested to see what else this machine can do.

Thanks for the firmware, I have not installed it yet because the hardware version says 4.0 instead of 3.0. I have 6 X7's and 3 different firmware versions (4 if you count the one you sent me). Not sure how to extract the firmware from the unit but sure would like to know.

Here are my observations:

1) Any firmware after the February release has ssh account locked out and if you upload a settings file (cgminer.conf) from a backup it has no effect on the unit as far as frequency and voltage.

2) There at least 4 different firmware versions out there, maybe more, I've been successful at underclocking and overclocking the February version only

[mbunal]

i have a x7 too. and its firmware is 3.11a. i written in wechat with fs. there is no support comma seperated paramaters in password field. they sent to me this firmware, 3.11a. now i learned there is newer version too. i wonder is there xnsub support in v4? i cant add #xnsub at the end of pool url. also i wonder is there any overclock option? and how?

here is my fw: https://ibb.co/j4ZBM0J

[iscgdave]

Chatted with FusionSilicon support for a bit, they said that the new version of firmware is being tested and will be available on their web site soon.

It's important to note that there are at least 2 control boards V3 and V4. Version 4 has SSH locked out "for security reasons" according to support. The latest version is 4.18 for the version 4 control boards and they would not supply me with a file download. You cannot install a version 4 firmware on the version 3 boards and vise versa according to support.

[wadam45]

How can I get a updated firmware from them? I would like to reduce the watts (have to) I have tried unplugging one board, get a start up fail. Need to run this under 1400watts even at a lower hash rate but every menu to possible do so is locked out.

Also as posted earlier altering the config does nothing.


Mine runs 1566watts and makes the cord socket hotter than I want.

[wadam45]

I did we chat with support just a bit ago and no real resolution. Pretty much the version i have is best. Mabee the 220v PSU works at 1400watts as they say but 110v (or mine??) is well 1566watts. This was fine for months, but now when my ac kicks on (different breaker) its just enough to trip the breaker the x-7 is on.


If any one has a solution to turn this unit down a bit please let me know!


Otherwise its wait for the strong-U6 to show up in a month or so and leave this one off.

[wadam45]

I did find an off solution..

I disconnected the center board power only keeping the board controller lead connected.

The result is 185GH avg @ 1074watts (cord is no longer too hot to touch)

The red fault light is on (to be expected) and now runs at 68F vs 77F

I have run like this a few days with no issues.

[mpminer86]

Hello i have a problem with my FusionSilicon X7, too.

At home with DHCP and only behind a DSL-Router he works fine.
The miner starts up fast and begin with the mining.

But in the Datacenter the miner don't begin with the mining prozess.
I hope anyone can help me here with my problem.

And can posts here his X7 cgminer.conf.
So I can check my parameters, to solve the problem.

Thank you.

Needs the miner special ports open?
In the datacenter I can reach the web interface of the miner.
I can see, that he is connecting to the mining pool for a short time and send his user name to the mining pool.
But he don't starts his work, then.

He shows me that the pools are all alive.
But the fan is zero / he shows me 0 rpm.
The Miner goes up and get some work for 2-3 minutes.
Then the intern program cgminer restart new.
I think the cgminer is in a restarting loop.

Over the web interface I can send a ping. Traceroute and DNS works fine, too.

I hope anyone can help me.
Can anyone show / send me his Fusionsilicon X7 Config, so that I get a look what configs maybe are wrong.

It's wondering me because at home the miner has worked fine with the dhcp setting.
In the datacenter he gets not really up and began with the work.

[HagssFIN]

@mpminer86

Your pools use ports 9998 and 3533.

Do you have those ports open ?

[mpminer86]

Hello HagssFIN,

thanks for your reply.
Yes, ports are open.
The internet connection seems allright.
At the weekend, I did some changes on the config.
When I deactivate the fans the miner starts up and starts with the mining.
But there are several fan config commands.
I found the command "fan_option":"1".
When I set this to zero it seems the miner deactivate the fans from the software site and doesn't check them.

This config I have run for 30 sec before I have reload the old config, because the temperature of the chips went up really fast to 88°C, without fans.

Normally when the miner gets energy, he starts up very fast and the fans are immediatly on 6000 rpm.
But in the web interface the fans show 0 rpm.

Could it be that the fans are defect or the control borad could not manage them?

It would be very nice, if anybody could post his fusionsilicon X7 miner config, so that I can compre both settings, where is my failure.

I hope not the fans or the control board is damaged.

[mpminer86]

Problem is solved.
FANs were destroyed by parcel service.

[files32]

How to disable fan checking?

Any firmwares for the X2 miner?
