Hi, thanks for expanation.
I didnt ask out of fear of restrictions, but more curious if it would improve performance of the S9 / S9i as well.
Anyone knows if a firmware upgrade would do the trick?
Or is asicboosted equipment just that; asicboost only, specially manufactured?
So far, everything released that I'm aware of is ASICBoost Only. Technically it would be possible to design a system which could go either way, but turning it off would hurt performance... (and thus advertising/sales impact)
