I have 4 Z1+ from the same batch and they all do basically the same thing. I am running the latest firmware for them but they exhibit the same behavior no matter what firmware I use. https://imgur.com/pif1YCu. I have all but given up hope of them becoming anywhere near stable. I have them set at auto freq at 1000 but the behavior is the same at all the permutations, i.e factory settings, auto freq on and off, various frequencies from 800 to 1100. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys. I have read all the posts here. Yes all 50+ pages and cannot find a way to stabilize my miners. I have had them since before the HDAC bomb and they have always jumped between 0 and some high hashrate - sometimes over 20. This often occurs with one board hashing very high while the others sit idle. This is the first miner Ive had that doesn't use all the boards at one time, and the only one that acutally has boards sitting idle. Ive read some posts where people claim their hashrate stablizes into nearly a flat line but I have not been able to replicate this. My Z!+ are all averaging far less than the advertized 7.2 while spiking to insane speeds at times. Is there anywhere someone can point me to for info on how to solve this?

Edit - Also, is there any difference between the Z1 and Z1+ firmware? Both files are exactly the same size...

Hi guys! please tell me how to change the firmware on Dayun Zig Z1 remotely?
hi! I am glad to present you a new asic dayun zig z1 firmware with overclocking to 7.5-8 gigahesh! the cost of firmware for one device is $ 75, for two and more than $ 60 apiece. This price includes a flash drive with firmware, delivery to any part of our universe, and when Ilon Musk announces a flight to Mars, then delivery to Mars will be possible) the firmware is based on the official kernel from 09.30.18 with numerous modifications, replacement of the source code.
telegramm channel https://t.me/Dayun_zig_z1

So let me get this straight. At approx $1 a day profit, you want me to give up 75 days of profit to take a flyer on some random guys coding skills?

Just in case anyone hasn't figured it out, it is definitely a scam. I ordered a couple of months ago. Before the ship date the website went down for updates showing a counter until the "new" website was finished, Now the website is down.

Well, I have to give Pangolin credit. They did process my refund and although it was about $60 short I will take it!

At current levels that will make at most $400 a month. $2700 + $200 shipping + $100 PSU +$800 import tax = never get your money back lol. All they are doing is killing the guys who bought their DR1 and DR3's. Bitmain is the worst when it comes to taking care of it's customers.

To be honest I don't understand how anyone - except places like Iceland where electricity is essentially free - is making money mining. I bought the most profitable miners out there 2 months ago and I won't make my money back on any of them. My GPU rigs make dribs and drabs if anything at all. GPU mining is essentially dead, even for the algos that fork to be asic resistant. The difficulty increase without the theoretical increase in price means if you haven't made ROI yet you probably never will. It's a shame because I really like the idea of decentralized money. But as with everything profitable, those with control of the money will take all the profit.

This is not the M10. It's the D1. And MicroBT is definitely being shady here. Maybe Pangolin as well. Let me proffer a scenario that fits the facts.

MicroBT has the first batch - 44TH/s -  made and are currently mining them for a month. This explains the double in difficulty and hashrate in one month's time. If they were having problems delivering on the first batch, and had already improved them before the end of the first manufatcuring run, they would not have the units at 44TH/s to fullfil the original orders. They would only have the improved units to ship.

The miners will no longer be profitable - the daily return on them has already dropped by 66% since they took the orders. Customers know this and are demanding returns.

They have a second batch being manufactured that is slightly improved upon the first. They are trying to squeeze extra profits from their original buyers because their sales for a second batch will be nowhere near what their sales for the first batch were. 

They have pushed back the original delivery date so they can mine out as much profit as they can before releasing the much diminished miners on their sucker customers.

This fits all the facts as we have them.

As the story is unfolding it is clear that MicroBT is screwing its customers.

Email just sent to Pangolin.

Dear Sirs,

I am demanding a full refund for the my order as MicroBT has failed to meet the delivery deadline. The lost revenue alone is far more than any refund of delivery cost. Also, if all first batch units have been improved to 48TH/s where did they suddenly get the 44TH/s units to fulfil the orders? It is obvious they have been mining with them all along and doubled the difficulty with profits that were due their customers. This miner is no longer profitable. I will not order from MicroBT or Pangolin in the future as it is clear that they are not acting ethically towards their customers. Please remit the full refund to BTC address xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pangloin update:

I received this email from Pangolin today. The contents still show some shady behavior by MicroBT. The first batch was supposed to all have 48 TH/s improvements so where did the 44TH/s machines come from? I can only conclude that MicroBT has been mining with the machines, the first batch was used by MicroBT to boost the difficulty by 100% and take profits that were rightly due miners. They are also delaying the said delivery another month so they can get another month mining profits from them before shipping them to us. I am still demanding a refund as these machines will never show a profit. I will post as I get updates.


Dear J,

After negotiate with MICROBT company. We got updates as below:

1. All the Whatsminer D1 in your order will be remained as 44th/s. And if you have already makeup the difference, we will refund to you by Bitcoin or USD.

2. We promise the Whatsminer D1 in your order will be the first batch dispatched from MICROBT.

3. For the delay of shipment, we guarantee that your order will be dispatched before 2018/12/20.

4. Pangolinminer will cover your delivery cost. We will payback you the shipment cost by Bitcoin or USD.

Here we apologize again for the bad experience we have brought to you.

I sent Pangolin an email demanding a refund. They said they are currently in negotiations with MicroBT. I would guess that given the opportunity to cancel orders for a miner that is worth half what it was sold for, many are taking said opportunity lol. We shall see what happens.

Here's the rub. I didn't pay MicroBT. I paid PangolinMiner. So my refund should come from Pangolin. Then there is the increase in diffuculty. I purchased my miner on Sept 7 with a difficulty of 5,413,314,135. As of Oct 8 the difficulty was 5,639,112,909. As of today it is 10,838,756,038. It has doubled in a month. MicroBT sent a picture of the miner in action with the 9% increase in hashrate. This can only mean that they, along with the Bitmain DR3 release, have doubled the difficulty running their own machines. If the difficulty increase is due only to the release of the DR3, when their miners hit the network - being 6x more powerful than the DR3 - the difficulty will make their asics much less profitable when delivered. At the this rate the difficulty will be 3x what it was when I ordered. I will gladly take my refund if I ever get my money back.

Hello Forum Reader,

I just received this email from Pangolin. Keep in mind that I ordered my D1 2 months ago and was told it would be shipped Nov. 20. The lost mining time alone is far more than the $350 they are extorting from me and the value of the miner has decreased INCREDIBLY due to the release of the Antminer DR3. This company is following the worst practices a company can. Stay away from their products as they cannot deliver what they promise.

Dear Valued Customer,

We are very sorry to inform you your order #1**** is having changes as below, and we required response and action from your side.

Your order of Whatsminer D1 (#1****)  will be shipped out before 2018/12/25. And it can be reached to US before 2018/12/31.

1. The hashrate has been improved from 44th/s to 48th/s. And there’s no increasing in power consumption.

In this case, you need to make up the difference of hashrate (+4th/s) for each miner.

Which will be 350USD for each miner. (87.5USD/th). Total is USD350 for your order.


2. If your order contains 10pcs*n(n=interger) whatsminer D1, you can also ask us to fulfill the 90% quantity of your original order. (The total hashrate will be the same)


3. For order quantity less than 10pcs, refund request is negotiable with the supplier (MICROBT).

Refund will be returned to your account (USD) or BTC wallet before 2019/1/15.

Reason for shipment changes:

Microbt (Supplier and Manufactuer of Whatsminer d1) is suffering from shortage of chips supply during November. In this case they have postponed the delivery date of first few batches of whatsminer d1 (from 2018/11/20 to 2018/12/20).

You can find official announcement from Microbt in attached. We have also translated it into English.

Annoucement for extra terahash makeup:

Microbt made some fine tune after the first sample units is coming out. And the hashrate is improve from 44th/s to 48th/s.
In this case, Microbt demands all clients to make up for the difference of increasing 4TH/s.

Which will be 350USD as total (87.5USD/TH), if the quantity is above 10pcs in one single order. Then it is also possible to ship 90% of the original quantity. You can find official document from official.

Please notice that all above changes are made by  MICROBT without prior notice to us.  PANGOLINMINER doesn’t know about above information and changes until 2018/11/5.  
**Also MICROBT has increased whatsminer D1(48th) price to 4,745USD for December batch.
