I see, but how could explain the mining pool showing halved scoring hash rate and this workers chart?

Hello,

Thanks for trying out the firmware and for your feedback.

About the number of Accepted share - the difficulty level on the two DevFee pools are very low compared to your main pool. For this reason the DevFee pools will produce many more accepted shares, although they are running on a hashrate no more than 2% of the total available hashrate. For this reason it's not possible to look only on the Accepted value to understand how the hashrate is distributed.

For the hashrate drop at the pool I would need more information in order to investigate. Did you experience this pool hashrate drop shortly after applying the firmware or did it happen all of a sudden? Was it before or after you tried to delay the network trafic to the DevFee pool - which of course would result in connection issues and the reboots?

Typically when you apply this firmware and select a Mining Profile is that the firmware will do auto tuning of the ASIC chips. Depending on if they are in good shape or not, and what Mining Profile you selected, this process can take some time. Everything from 10 minutes to many hours.

We have a number of customers running this firmware on quite large scale mining operations with very good results. It also looks like several users in this thread have successfully deployed the firmware.

Just reach out to me if you want me to investigate your scenario further to find out why it didn't perform as expected. Also let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
