BRAIINS OS+ SUPPORT FOR AMLOGIC CONTROL BOARDS

We will be rolling out support for all Antminer X19 models with Amlogic control boards soon 🔥

If you have any Antminer X19 series models with Amlogic control boards that you would like to run Braiins OS+ on please join the remote install wait list (form at the bottom of this message).

Our support team will reach out to you with information on how to proceed with the installation once the firmware is ready 🤝

There is a new control board which is under study, it also comes with a microSD slot in the front, so no, it is not a safe method.
There will be an announcement about AmLogic, you should keep them. Only the aml has the usb port so its still easy to recognize from the outside. And only the bbb has no port at all, its also easy to recognize from the outside.

If it has a microSD slot, then hopefully it has a sticker with Zynq/Xilinx/7007 on top. Else you need to remove the metal cover and see for yourself.

Thanks again!

Regarding the new control board with SD card at the front which is not a Zynq board: How new is that board? Is a used miner that was initially bought in mid-2022 certainly a Zynq board miner if it has the SD slot at the front? Or when is the cutoff date?

[Artemis3]

Apparently from 2023 onwards, so in theory you should be safe. I actually got the first picture in late December. It is from CVITEK.



Yes, Bitmain is using cpus designed for real time video processing with AI acceleration for identification of people... A bit of a waste IMO.

My inner conspiracy-theorist is having a field day with that!

when you have rolling advertising for the same firmware and miners on 1 forum you start to wonder if bitcoin is actually worth anyones time. if braiins is needed bitcoin already has a problem. i already have credit cards who charge merchants 2-5% dont need a free p2p network currency firmware that charges 2% and a pool fee that charges 2% kinda sounds like the same ball of shit

You are free to run your own pool and develop your own firmware for free, lets see how far you can get...

Whats next, free lunch? You can hash things by hand if you don't want hw or fw optimized for said hw.

And in this forum anyone can run advertising signatures, got a problem with that? No we don't have a campaign running (I'm too lazy for it). If you don't like it, don't use it. If you don't like my messages, use the ignore function and go back to your credit cards.

Well ... I got pretty far actually ...

Though I guess your response will be that pool size is all that matters ... so everyone should leave your pool and go to the bigger ones?

I know, you are one of the good examples. But remember that even your pool is not 0% fee

Increase your Bitcoin mine's profitability 25% with BraiinsOS Firmware! A Data Driven Overview

I have been saying this for a good while: Efficiency matters.

You know what is not efficient? Pre-sets. Blind manual settings that may work "equally" with an average number of miners can only produce average results. Real autotuning has no shortcuts and only Braiins OS+ does it. Others can't bother to do the whole job, and they lack the capacity to do so anyway.

With proper autotuning, results vary with each miner, because each miner chip yield quality varies. The manufacturer just mixed many low yield with a few high yield chips so the average reaches their "advertised speed". Therefore the "same" (manual) settings will never be efficient across a vast number of miners and this just confirms what others in the industry have verified by themselves.

Furthermore, a blind pre-set doesn't monitor chips and doesn't self adjust in response, something Braiins OS+ does. Which is why, miners running Braiins OS+ last longer. The firmware protects the chips and acts while others just squeeze them until they die.

And yes the industry knows. Many just quietly test and adopt because the results don't lie, especially tests done properly like this one.

Braiins is not joking when it states it has pushed the mining industry, and more is coming...

I run with Bariin's software and have the following temp. settings for my antminer 17 series miners. In this case S17PRO, T17+ and S17+ miners.

Temp mode: auto

Target 75c
Hot 85c
Dangerous92c

Can't find any information from Bitmain about recommended chip temperatures for 17 serie only for PCB.

Does Braiins have any temp. recommendations or people in this thread?

[Artemis3]

You can delete those values, then Save & Apply, and it will restore defaults.

Okay, I will do that. To see what the defaults are.

[kungen12321]

On the stock antminer firmware, you can see the 4 temperature reading on the card. With Braiins I can only see the hottest. Why so?

[Artemis3]

Design choice. For the firmware to take action, only the hottest value is needed.




Can't mess with the best

Loaded braiins+ auto tuning as I type.

At the moment 104.6 th and 2640 watts which is 25.88 watts. I will post tune numbers soon.

18 minutes into the tune

It will get better. Well hoping for it to get better.

This actually works? ...

I'm impressed!

Still working . Since it is in my garage and not the farm I dropped clock to 2500 watts. I altered temp setting to 72 80 90.

It tuned over night and is now doing 97th and 2475 watts.

Saves me driving to repair guy in next state.

After much playing with gear I found the actual issue was the white info cable between the psu and the control board.

Since this firmware (brains+) will allow a solid under clock at 25 watts a th I will leave it in place for the next two months due to summer heat issues.

To have a second firmware is good for testing purposes as I would not have figured out what was wrong with this gear with only bitmain firmware.

By patient testing I got 2 s19 pros with 1 board running to two s19s with six boards running.

or 36th up to 210th.

First one I fixed by mixing and matching the six boards till three worked.
second one I used brains as the three boards left would not register with bitmain firmware.
they worked sporadically with brains+ so I then replaced the cable from psu to controller getting good results. Also I like this firmwares abiltity to go to 2475 watts vs 3200 watts.

I now see a tool box. but only for linux.

I will need to setup 2 pc's for this. or wait for windows/Mac.

I am getting ready to fill a box with s19's and s17's maybe 75 units if I use linux and your new tools program what is fee cost.

I likely will remain at viabtc not slush.  With luck I could be pushing 6ph-7ph soon.

[Artemis3]

A native mac and windows port is in the works but you can simply install WSL1 in windows and run it there, it even works with your windows web browser, run it without options inside wsl, and outside open http://127.0.0.1:8888

In MacOS you can use virtual machine emulation, with the likes of utm or multipass, install something like Linux Lite and run it there.

Of course Linux is better, it always is. I'm surprised you don't have a single Linux machine, when all your miners use it...

Oh yeah, it runs in raspberry pi (and similar ARM devices) too...
Feel free to join the Partnership program so can get even more benefts, just fill the form at the bottom of that page.

Here is a brief reminder of the difference of PPS vs Score measured over a decent amount of time:


* Luxor should have been the same as the other PPS pools, it was a bug (fixed) because they are doing out of order shares and the firmware had to be changed to acomodate for this.

Fee cost has not changed. If you aren't doing curtailment, you earn less satoshis using those Chinese pools. That 2% rebate matters.

But on top of that you are still one of the highest pool fees - 2%

So Any FPPS pool that is charging less than 2% (quite a few) is giving a higher reward, no matter what 'marking' lies you make up.

... and on top of that even your own site points out that luck on the last 250 blocks = 3.5 months, has been down 7.5%
So they are losing 7.5% there also, so no way are they making more
