S19J 100 BB controller log - significant errors

Tsub
on 09/03/2023, 02:29:50 UTC
Has anyone seen anything like this before?  What has me confused is the across all the hashboard nature of this, so it has me completely stumped with where to begin.  Any ideas?

I cut some of the read / write fail.  What is weird is repeats chain0, but then at the end is errors on Chain1 and Chain2 as well.

Re: Help with the best Asic mining
by
Tsub
on 18/10/2022, 03:05:07 UTC
I am looking for the best asic miner I can order online, brand new and with 1500$ max price per one, I want two, I've seen Avalon and Bitmain with 50+ TH to 60+TH but I want to know which are safer for a newbie to avoid buying problematic one.
Bitmain doesn't have units with a price of $1500  or below, the current cheapest available units right now from Bitmain is s19 pro with a price of $1900.
So you don't have any other option than buying units from Canaan as suggested above the available cheapest unit they have is 1126 pro with a price of $882.

What do you mean you want two units? Do you mean that if you want 2 units with a maximum price of $1500 then you have around $3000 budget?
If yes then you can have 3 units with that amount with their cheapest unit(1126pro) from Canaan.
Thanks for the reply I plan to buy just two first and probably buy one more later, thanks for your reply.

Why would you focus on that level?  To learn about mining and experiment?  You can do that cheaper.  Plus, you need to watch your j/Th (joules per Terahash) ratio so that this doesn't end up costing you money given energy prices.

Efficiency is the name of the game over time.  If you plan on running them a while, remember, low efficiency is like buying a cheap truck and paying for that every time you have to fill up the tank.  That initial savings catches up with you quick over time.

Re: Why is difficulty still very high

Bitcoin mining difficulty has been increasing and will continue to increase:


live chart here: https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/difficulty-chart

I don't see any reason why it would decrease. It's the best money ever invented, so it makes sense that more and more miners are interested in it over time.

You mentioned graphic cards, so I guess you're referring to mining alt coins. In that case this should be moved to the appropriate section of the forum.

I think it's also worth mentioning the ASIC miners on the BTC blockchain continue to get faster and are readily available.

Hell Bitmain is now selling a 100TH miner for $1900 plus 25% customs charge for those in the US.

I saw that too, but unless you have really great per kWh rates, it doesn't seem worth the capital.  The XP's are about 3X more but are about 4X more profitable per day given a normal per kWh price range.  Plus, I think energy prices are going back up a bit so whatever is there will be squeezed a bit more.

Still needing one?

YES, do you have a recommendation?

Quick question.  Are you talking about alot of machines, because when you say mining machine, is that just like 1 or 2 or even 10?   or like 200?

If you are talking 10 or so, just let the seller arrange through a local shipping house.  They usually use DHL or UPS and air freight it.  I get ASIC miners via air cargo all the time.

If you are talking about a full container, or even a partial container, then you need a freight coordinator.  I moved a 40' container with a transformer this way.  I can give you the contact but clarify at which scale you are talking.

If its different from the old s19 units then he can just point the blower or hotair on the front of the heatsink near on that chip just to give a bit heat because some parts is not fully soldered there some parts have cold solder joint. So giving them a heat can melt it and gives more contact from chips to the board.

You need to understand that solder issues and heatsink issues are completely different, and they result in different logs regardless of the miner model, if there is an issue with the solder whereby the chip is not in contact with the hashboard, it will cause a board failure such as missing asics or no asics at all.

On the other hand, a loose heatsink will not display any error, in fact, the miner will read all Asics and will run just fine for a few seconds and then stop after throwing a temp error, many people (myself included) thought the issue with the 17 series was about heatsinks losing contact to the chip, but no, it turns out that it's the actual chip, you can confirm that yourself by taking out a few heatsinks and the miner will still get full asic count, mine for a while and those chips without heatsink will without a doubt pass the max temp in a few seconds and will display "over-temp on chain x" power off.


The interesting thing about the XP's is that instead of 50 small heatsinks, it uses one giant heatsink with screws to attach it.

Thanks - I swapped cables / hashboards from another XP on Chain 2 (one of the 3 hashboards) and it cleared the error. 

I have another one with the same error on Chain 0 so I know what to do now.

I will need to send these hashboards off for testing / repair but at least I have a whole rig running.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Great news, have you actually swapped the hashboard from another miner? It was not possible to mix and match on the previous generation, hopefully the XP works differently.

@Bitmaxz, this is not possible with the new gen miners, the heatsink on the chip front is one whole large block attached with solder/thermal and screws, no way it would do anything like that.

Yes, I moved the hashboard from another XP.  That other one is having a different issue.  Waiting for parts on it.

Feels like I will be sending that one off to have repaired with 2 broken hashboards and a broken PSU!

With these 3 lines

2022-09-24 02:28:43 Chain[2]: find 3 asic, times 1
2022-09-24 02:28:45 Chain[2]: find 3 asic, times 2

The software insists that it can still see Chain[2] and that chain 2 has missing chips, so until the line goes away, it will be hard to troubleshoot any further, can you try to swap the data cables between the hashboards and see if this part of the kernel changes?

Also, please use code tag when posting kernel log.

I am running BraiinsOS on 10 S19 Pros 100Th and find it pretty nice.  Beware that you use smaller SD cards (not larger than 8gb) as they don't play well.  Also, if you get a low quality SD card, you will be pulling them out and replacing them, so in an immersion cooling situation, that is annoyingly messy.

I use stock PSU's and do not overclock alot (3100W) and find them really stable, absent the SD issue.  The immersion mode helps avoid fan simulators if you go that way.

I am troubleshooting an issue with 2 of my XP's. 

What is weird is that usually, if you have a hashboard issue, you can unplug it and the S19 will run with 2.  With an XP, when you unplug it, it throws a different error.

Here is the part that throws the error.  I can post the full log if you really need it.

Re: Where Can I Find ASICS?
by
Tsub
on 11/11/2021, 02:28:25 UTC
Most of today's miners usually buy and sell ASIC miners through Ebay and Amazon. In the e-commerce market, these are the 2 largest e-commerce sites in the world, but the prices are very high.
Alternatively, you can also order an ASIC miner at the Bitmain homepage. The types of coin miners here are sold at a much cheaper price.

Despite being the 2 largest e-commerce sites, I still wouldn't trust the ASICs sold in them, just like those sold in Alibaba/AliExpress. They could be faulty or not what you expect.
In most official sites like Bitmain, the miners are already sold out.
Not only faulty or at a minimum well used, but it is also much too common to find that they they are infected with malware that will try to spread to all miners connected to your network.

If you buy any miner through a seller on Ebay, Amazon et al always:
1. First download the latest firmware directly from Bitmain, Canaan or whoever made the miner onto a laptop or other PC that can later be isolated from your network and the internet. After getting the firmware, disconnect the laptop/PC from your network and using either a hub or crossover cable connect it to the miner.
2. Follow instructions on how to flash the new firmware onto the miner. This should remove any chance of malware.
3. Input your pool and workername settings, save & apply. When the miner reboots, make sure the pool and worker information is the same as you put in.
4. Only after all of that should you put the miner onto your network and have it access the internet to start mining.

Not sure where you buy your miners from.  I got scammed because I went for the "cheaper price" and then found a few sources that I have successfully bought many ASIC miners from (so far about 40 ASICs).  Most new, a few used.  Agree on the new firmware update the moment you get them.

I am running 20 S19J 100 / 104Th units.  They can be finicky (reboots) but only 1 had a power supply blown.  No other issues so far (knock on wood).

Re: Help with revenue calculations
by
Tsub
on 19/09/2021, 19:44:08 UTC
Thanks everyone.  I'll look into this a bit more and possibly send one or two of you a PM for additional information.

My recommendation is that you need a "heater" not necessarily BTC.

Agreed.  I've thought about it some more, and even if I'm "mining at a loss" (electricity is costing more than I'm earning), it's still worth it to continue running the miner because I'm heating at a profit (spending about the same amount as I would have on running an electric heater, but gaining revenue, which a normal space heeateer would never do).

Go for a highly profitable model.

Since the primary goal is heating the garage, I'm starting to think that what I want is the ASIC that draws the most amps. That will be most effective at heating the space, and at that point ANY revenue is just a bonus.

The next step here is going to be figuring out where/how to purchase the equipment and how to avoid getting scammed.

The other thing is, once you start seeing the profits, you probably won't sell it.

You're probably right.  If it works well enough, I might even convince some friends and/or family to heat normally unheated spaces this way.

Keep it running and enjoy the profits year round! Smiley

I suspect that it's going to get way too hot in that garage in the summer to run an ASIC. I'm not interested in running extra c and let thooling just to keep the ASIC running year round.  Too much effort for too little profit.

Here is the thing.  You don't want to go off of just "amp pull".  You want to look at profit and how you want to leverage it.  The other thing is, profit per amp is important, because once you get bit by the mining bug, you may want to buy another.  So take watt / volt (240) = amps.  Then divide the daily revenue by amps and get a $/amp ratio. 

My most protifable miner right now is mid pack on the amp pull, so I actually bought another one last week.  You will find your house to be amp constrained really really fast.  Go for $ per amp ratio and let that be a guide for you.

You don't, just raise the garage door and put a box fan behind it.  I live in Texas, the garage is 99 degrees so I flush out the heat (but I am moving to immersion cooling).  You want the heater.  If it gets "too hot" then just unplug it for a few months and come back!

My pool blocks firmware that I can detect violates the license.
It's well known that I do that.
Even in bold red on the home page ...

If you distribute a firmware, you are required to supply the source code upon request.
That's how the GPLv3 license works (and has for more than 10 years)
Since we are discussing this subject in two topics  I will continue this discussion on following topic. Seems to me it is off-topic. Smiley
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5346051.0
You provide on your site you list in this thread, a download of firmware that violates the cgminer license.
https://mineitor.com/downloads
This is, by definition, 'distributing' firmware.

It is a violation of the cgminer license to distribute this firmware and not supply source code on request.
I am the 2nd main developer of cgminer.
So I'm not at all sure why you think I wouldn't know how the license for cgminer works, nor why I wouldn't feel the need to point out you are violating the license.

You also advertise that people should use this firmware on your site, sounds like a bad idea to advertise to people to violate a license.

Does this license have a paid license option that doesn't require you to reveal any of the sourcecode?  I find these types of "reveal all source code" at times to be excessive.  Especially if what is added might be competitive in nature.  Are you trying to support the open nature of open source or drive revenue?  If you are standing on principle, I get it, but to say "reveal all source code" for the sake of that in a license is a bit tough.  Especially in a commercial situation as I have run into that before in a different context and it was such broad overreach that we eliminated its use completely. 

I respect the work you do although I am not a consumer of it, I am just a bit curious behind this.

That is why we have one month free subscription for Mineitor! Smiley just test it and find out your self.
We have 24/7 support. and also we have features that is unique to Mineitor.
E.g. Remote-browser  or Maintenance-Management or Customer-management , ...
This one violates the cgminer license also since they provide a firmware without the miner source code.

Kano,

I think most of the folks running higher end miners don't use custom ASIC code given that it violates warranty, etc.  Feels like custom ASIC code is a way to extend the useful life of an old miner and try to make it worth running at a profit.

I use Mineitor as a farm management system to query my stock rigs and give me performance history, temp, etc.  So honestly I am not violating anything. 

I do wish the old inefficient miners would just die and force folks to buy the newer, highly efficient miners (lowest joule / hash ratio).

Its like trying to keep that old v8 Plymouth going.  Let it die, buy something more fuel efficient.  The ecosystem is not in that much desperate need of those Th.
