Interestingly enough, I switched over to Slush from Nano as a result of your other thread. I do like your interface much better to be honest.
Got my Z9 mini a few days ago after waiting almost 3 months for batch 2 to ship. They hit me with over 200$ in Duties and taxes. Not as bad as some of you, but still extra $$ on the price tag.
Got the machine humming at over 14ksol/s with overclocking. The firmware allowed for easy modification to the frequency, so it didnāt require any updates or work arounds.
I gradually increased the frequency and monitored stability. At 700M the chips began to fail!
Scaled back to 650M and have them running steady. Current mine rate is .10 ZEC per day.
Not bad as long a difficulty holds, I expect to see more Z9ās coming online over the next few weeksā¦
It will be interesting to see how many GPU rigs drop off as a resultā¦ I just took mine offline
So this video, the guy creates an archive file of his z9 batch one firmware and then flashes his batch 2 (at 650) with it, he also details the other method and how it fails
So once a verifiable copy of that archive file becomes available you can all overclock to 650 which is probably about as high as you want to go anyways
Sorry guys, Iām doing everything without a 1st batch and still waiting for my 2nd batch ones.
Iāve asked many time in many places, including this forum, a CONF backup file, none agreed to send it me afraid, I suppose, I could load it in my machine a Mine In Their Wallet (!), what a crime genius.
Cursed Mining has been a bit smarter and made 3 different CONF backup files and sent them to my email.
The backup file is a TAR archive looking like this:
Open the cgminer.conf with a basic text editor, like notepad if you are suffering from windows condition, and just change the last line of code before the ending brackets with the frequency you prefer :
ābitmain-freqā : ā700ā
Better than use someone else backup, and before to do that, youād better download your own machine one, edit it as described here and upload it back.
Iām still waiting for my Z9 Mini, so I cannot try it.
Wellā¦I did everything āon paperā, I still do not have a unit for testing purpose. But that guy who made the video is taking about my discussion with CM, and it worked out.
The script seems more to contain the procedure to overwrite the configuration: mkdir -p /config/.old_config rm -rf /config/.old_config/* cd /config/ for f in advanced.conf dropbear dropbear_rsa_host_key led-blink.conf lighttpd-htdigest.user network.conf shadow shadow.factory cgminer.conf cgminer.conf.factory ; do
** if [ -f $f ] ; then**
** cp $f /config/.old_config/**
** fi** done cd - >> /dev/null cp * /config/ sync
I loged in the miner via SSH, edited the cgminer.conf file (located in /config folder), replaced the 500 value of Ā«bitmain-freqĀ» with 650, saved and quit, rebooted the miner, thatās it. Miner running at a stable 650Mhz frequency. I will test 700 and 750 in the next days.
