Still room for a few more people, I believe, if you (or anyone else) wants to go
(It's free to attend by the way).

The talk was brilliant! A thoroughly enjoyable event. Well worth the trip!


The talk was held in one of the lecture theatres at Napier University (about a 400 seater theatre and filled to capacity):





And this was me teaching Andreas about cryptocurrencies
(while Lyn tries hard not to fall asleep)

I have missed this but Bitmain has released overclocking firmware for S9 at the end of May. Only just tried it this morning on my 13.5 TH/s as still had not installed Braiins firmware on this one and it works as advertised 15.5TH/s in + 2TH/s mode. Not checked power consumption yet. No HW errors, it will probably do 16TH/s with some custom tweaking on Braiins firmware but this was a lot easier without messing with SD card.

Edit Checked voltages, with this firmware chips are running 9.1V, the one with Braiins is 8.7-8.9V so I expect this Bitmain firmware to have higher power consumption

One of the L3+ control board failed, tried to reload firmware from SD card without success so used board from D3 and flashed L3+ firmware on it so it's working again. Found Blissz firmware with devfee pools removed so need to install it on other L3+s that are still running stock or Blissz firmware with dev fees https://byjyww.bn.files.1drv.com/y4m...0-nodevfee.tar

I didn't realise the control boards were physically the same.

I might try that S9 firmware update when I have a spare few minutes. Thanks to the warm weather I'm down to a single S9 now, and the only reason that's still running is because it lives in one of my customer's server rooms.

I think A3 is the same as well.

Profitability-wise, I suppose now is probably the right time to be buying and mining, but it's just too damn hot to mine right now.
