AB is *not* a new algorithm, it is a hardware-based way to generate additional work for the miner to process and requires the miner chips to support it. AFAIK the 841 only supports AB when in Performance mode.
Thanks a lot for the detailes answer.
How to switch them to Performance mode? They are now doing 13,5Gh on the original firmware
[Firmware version] => Avalon Firmware - 20180305
I was hoping that someone who already updated to Nicehas firmware would share the results.
I guess I will try for myself, and report back
I realize there might not be a lot of interest in this model anymore, but hey, it might help someone
Right now, on the original firmware, when using an AsicBoost pool, the miners behave very strange, and basically do not work. They keep on turning the fans down for a second and restarting (sorry, not sure if they are actually rebooting)
