Re: Antminer D3 Blissz firmware (20/11 update available!)

The D3 cgminer driver (released by Bitmain) doesn't even mention X11 or subalgorithms. You can check:


There is struct work_dash that contains interesting type field. However it has fixed unknown value 0x20.

Code:
   
struct work_dash
{
    uint8_t type;                           // Bit[7:5]: Type,fixed as 0x01. Bit[4]:sno valid   Bit[3:0]:reserved
    uint8_t wc;                             // bit[7]: reserved, bit[6:0]: work count base
    uint8_t work[WORK_DATA_INPUT_LENGTH];   // 0-75 bytes are dash work; 76-79 are start nonce field
    uint16_t crc16;                         // crc, but not include the header 0x55, 0xaa
};
//...

// BM1760 ASIC input data length
#define WORK_INPUT_TYPE_WITH_SNO                    0x30
#define WORK_INPUT_TYPE_WITHOUT_SNO                 0x20

//...

void *DASH_fill_work(void *usrdata)
{
struct work_dash workdata;
//...
workdata.type = WORK_INPUT_TYPE_WITHOUT_SNO;
//...
DASH_write(info->dev_fd[chainid], (uint8_t *)&workdata, WORK_INPUT_LENGTH_WITH_CRC);


It would be interesting to fuzz work_dash.type a bit, to see if BM1760 supports some other types. However probably this wouldn't do anything useful.

So IMHO this means unless there is secret golden switch inside chip BM1760, there is no way to choose algorithm.
BM1760 is Bitmain private chip. There is no public spec available, all they say about it is "BM1760 custom-made chip using 28nm technology."  Wink

Re: Kraken scandalous scam

I had very positive experience with Kraken recently.
Few days ago I deposited 1000 + 1150 euros on the same day. But as I have a tier 2 level account there, the last deposit was put on hold. I noticed it after 1 day and asked why is my money on hold. About 42 minutes later I got response, that my deposit will be released and 8 minutes later it was actually released. So my little problem was resolved in less than an hour.

On the other hand, IMHO they should have an automatic process to release excessive deposits after time has passed.

Just to warn you, user carmine2 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1106641 is scammer. Asked 60-100 euros to cover sending (in Europe) and disappered when I asked photo as proof.

Shipping won't be expensive. I can cover it.

What is your offer for the device?

If you don't want to use escrow we can split the payment into two smaller. It is up to you Wink

...
However I would like to ask you to pay for the shipping directly to me before I send it. This will protect me as a seller if you won't pick up the package.

Insured shipment by DHL/UPS/TNT would cost around 100€.

Registered priority by national post cost 60€.

Yes I could but I have it packed already. Do you want me to open it take photo and repack?
