Premiere at WDMS, breaking 1 J/T.

Small correction, it's not 1 J/T but 1X J/T as in anywhere between 10 and 19.

X=(0,1,..,9)

Corrected - Thanks!

Just announced on Bitmain's socials -

Premiere at WDMS, breaking 1 J/T. Pretty wild how far mining has come in over a decade.

this is also interesting - per the email attached, orders of 2 or more miners will supposedly be shipped from Malaysia - which then means no tariff, correct?

or is that meaning 200 to 500? that is my guess but he did put it as 2-500 lol

https://i.ibb.co/BNxKGvN/Capture.jpg

This is only for orders of 200 or more. 2 isn't big Tongue

Standard retail orders will be shipped from the Shenzhen territory, which will be subject to substantial tariffs.

New firmware for the 17 series.

Pro:
https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20S17%20Pro

Normal:
https://service.bitmain.com/support/download?product=Antminer%20S17

If you have the April 16th or earlier firmware, you need to flash the intermediate update from 5/24, then do the 5/27 one.

On Turbo, my gains from went up about 60 GH with this update after evaluating the 24 hour hashrate. That's like a third of a S1   Lips sealed

You should definitely be running them on Turbo.

As long as your environment is a mining conducive one and there is no failure within the first few weeks you'll be fine with these long term.

Here's some more pictures/packaging. I may do another review like I did for the T1.





They're quite the masterpieces. Definitely loud, I'm a fan so far. Pun intended Smiley

The batch will not make any substantial impact as initial GPUs, Avalons, KNCs ect coming online. It'll be a smoother increase. Only time you'll really see a sudden spike is when the price rockets again, where old mines will turn on the gear that will be profitable then.

I'll post some pictures when I get my 17's Smiley

That feeling when your 17's are delayed in Shenzhen

Your package is delayed at export and is awaiting release from customs.

Re: Reviewing the Halong Mining DragonMint T1, a 10nm SHA-256 Miner
by

on 19/05/2018, 16:59:28 UTC
The title of this thread needs to be changed from a "SHA 256 miner" to "Bitcoin miner" because it cannot do a single other sha 256 coin....

I've changed the title from "SHA 256" to "Bitcoin" Miner, as this forum is primarily about Bitcoin and I haven't heard much compatibility wise with regards to AsicBoost for other coins.

Thanks for your feedback!

The original T2 thread is listed here:

Innosilicon, do you have an explanation for CK not supporting your hardware, and your current relationship with Halong?

Are you seriously surprised after everything I and few others have mentioned in the discussions.  Cheesy

They generally run cooler laying on the right side (exhaust facing away)

The temperatures represent lowest recorded, average, and highest recorded.

Thanks for the helpful info. Laying it on the side definitely lowered the temps. It seems like the temp readings may be for 24hr (??) intervals cus the highest recorded has definitely come down.

I've been mining DCR for a little over a week with my one miner.  So far I have found 3 blocks generating 39 coins towards the pool which is significantly less than my reward amount. Wonder if I would have found these blocks if I was solo mining or is it because of the consolidated hashing power of coinmine? I'm sure with your hashing power, you're finding blocks left and right. Would it be more profitable solo mining? Granted there are no guarantees if and when you'll find a block but seems probable if indeed your/my miner found the blocks without intervention from the pool.

Up until very recently, solo miners accounted for 2nd highest (31%) of the total distributed hashing power on https://dcrstats.com/pow. At the time of the snapshot (May 4th), Coinmine totaled 45.6%, Luxor at 13.7%. Those 3 groups accounted for 90% of the hashing power.  

Then f2pool came out of nowhere now making up for 29.7%. Coinmine accounts for 39.3%, Luxor with 12.3%, solo miners now only 2.1%. This totals up to 83.4%. f2pool is Chinese pool and has a very nice UI and the pages seem to translate to English okay.

I too hit like 8 blocks really quick when I got my original 6 DCR miners. It's all luck based, you could hit 3 blocks in a row, but the chances are astronomical. Pools are convenient to not have to worry about setting solo mining up. Over time it equalizes.

Glad to hear temps got better on the side! They definitely helped all of mine. I've looked at f2pool, and it appears to be 3% PPS. Might point some of mine that way to compare over time.

Is it possible to put Decred and Siacoin in the same Wallet? Which Wallet do you use?

If it's a mult coin wallet that supports both coins, sure. The standalone wallets are Sia-UI and Decrediton.

That's a firmware bug, it does nothing to your actual hashrate. I've got the same thing on my poorest performing b29, the update to the public d9 firmware runs visual autotune in a loop too.

Phew...btw, are you having fluctuations of the hashrate on the pool end as well...mine fluctuates from 3 TH/s to 0.9 TH/s?

This is standard fluctuation. Average is what counts - these all have appeared to hash a little below spec (1.9-2.0 avg) poolside.

Has anyone auto-tuned their B29? If so, is there any noticeable difference?

Waste of time and hash.

Mine is automatically doing auto-tune, is there a way to deactivate it?

On stock b29?
