Brave miner!  Renting it out when stability hasn't settled certainly takes confidence.  I saw that as soon as it was rented it crashed immediately.

Appreciate you sharing this as it's the first visual evidence I've seen of extended stability.   With the dropping price and increasing stability this machine is becoming interesting for purchase.

Actually renting has worked out quite nice for testing.  In the latest rental the renter kept switching his pool setup.  This gave me a chance to see what would happen when the miner is "stressed".  Turns out during this 3 hrs the miners with the new firmware did fine.  The miners running 1.0.0(T) all 3 had missing hash board after the renter's abuse.  In the last hour the renter seemed to just have given up and deleted all pool settings.  All the miners reverted to my backup pool, however the miners in 1.0.0(T) needed manual stop - 30 second delay - manual restart to get all the boards hashing again.

I'm going to run it another 12-24 hrs like it is now and then switch the rest of the miners to the new firmware.  Then I think I will try stressing it myself by running on nicehash or some multipool to see if it can handle it.  I will keep updating this thread, but at this point I think the new firmware is working well.

1.0.3 for me has crashed went to bed with 1h15 min on the elapsed time to waking up to 10 minutes, all blades are still there

Did you see a drop in your hash rate on the pool?
