epic controllers are not free but you can do really low with them


https://altairtech.io/product/epic-umc/

Wow looks promising. Do you know how low you can go?

okay the boards work with

all S19
and t21
and s21


When you under clock it allows you to disable any of the 3 boards

it also allows as low as 50mhz freq and 12 volts if you do manual.

you can also go way high like 600 freq and 15 volts
and that are the manual settings

more than that you can autotune from 60th to 300th   on the t21 I have.

the flexibility is huge much more like a gpu from the old days of mining.

You also may find you a board that allows really low settings and another board that allows high settings.

Hi. It works for S21 hydro too, or only for S21?
don't know but here is a link to the makers of the board.

What is the point of replacing the board? Is it not enough to change the firmware from stock to vnish for example?

the epic is fee free vnish charges a fee.

so if you do 200th on a s21 at 4 cents a th  that is 8 dollars vnish charges 1.8 to 2.8 %


"Our software is distributed free of charge. Please note that custom firmware includes a developer fee (DevFee) - a reward for developers. DevFee depends on the type of equipment and is 1,8%-2,8% of the total hashrate of your miner, which is automatically debited while the device is running.

so 14.4 cents a day to  22.4 cents a day which is 52.56- 81.76 in fees in a year.  so right now if sha 256 sucks bigly it takes 2-3 years to pay off the controller

but if we spike to 8 cents a th vnish is 28.4 cents a day to 44.4 cents a day  which is 103.66 to 162.06 a year and the controller is paid off in 1 to 1.5 years

as earnings go up the epic becomes cheaper compared to using vnish


much like rent vs own a home each had a strong point.




Except your mathing wrong hashrate is worth less and less each day. Don't value it to fiat value it in how much btc we earn off it a day. On a 19 series we will never generate enough devfee at this point to cost more than a control board. If you want a control board I can sell you a control board for a quarter of the price ePic board is. we made a universal board 4 years ago when aml came out but then found an exploit so we canned it. We can also sell you firmware with no devfee if you were buying enough at cost cheaper than buying their board.

Also that is not the offical vnish. We are www.vnish.com and www.asic.to


why lie about what hash is worth when it is worth more than it was last week. and if btc rallies bigly the epic is the better buy than vnish.

now your arguement made sense up til this price rally in terms of what is the better deal.

i have  your  software
i have brains software
i have mara board and software
i have epic board and software


used all of them for years.


they all can be okay

and some times bitmain software is better for some people.

but to say that hash rate is worth less on the biggest jump this year makes no sense bro.

and yeah i will still use your software at times.

also the vnish control board is a better board than
