Would be nice if this could be used with the R4... Also, any plans to add asicboost?
for the hundred thousandth time ASICBOOST requires compatible HARDWARE. There is no magic software to enable it on hardware that was not designed for it.
And Bitmain just
announced it officially:
"Were very pleased to share that last night our developers released the firmware for the Antminer S9 to enable what is popularly called the overt AsicBoost functionality. We will also release in one week the firmware to activate this functionality in other BM1387-based models namely the Antminer R4, S9i, S9j, T9 and T9+."
You were saying? The BM1387 chip lacked asicboost?
If Braiins has plans to release a firmware for the R4, i would rather wait for it than use Bitmain's. The R4 is just an S9 with two boards and 1 fan.
