How to UPGRADE your BITMAIN L3+ Firmware For BETTER Efficiency | DogeCoin and Litecoin

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Do you own a Bitmain Antminer L3+ ? If So, What Firmware are you currently running on it? Do you have it Powered On during the Bear Market?

[@djblitzer82]

Just acquired an L3+, took me a bit with all the signature warnings but finally managed to get the HiveOn firmware onto it - experimented with different OCs except the 720 MH/s one because the fans were going crazy on the one below...anyway back to the 660w 504 MH/s OC, it seems to be the winner for efficiency and noise. Although, I am in Australia so it's summer here and we are on 220-240 V.

[@1187209]

@@djblitzer82 I'm also Australian and have some L3s; currently running stock firmware but looking to upgrade the firmware as soon as I find the time to do so. I appreciate the info.

[@TheShaggyo]

Got 3 l3++ on hive os firmware and will not connect to any pool was running fine not now help please

[@simmo6035]

Hey. Sorry, I know it's an old video but can L3+ be turned off or 'pause mining' remotely? I have no mains power connection but ample solar power 9 months of the year. It would be great if I could turn them on/off remotely based on the weather at the time. Thank you

[@rondy87]

Attention to little details like this is what would make u 100k sub YT channel by 2023...easily. Good stuff man!! 👏

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thank you! I always find Guides are never detailed enough. I'd rather have MORE than not enough. So I like to show the community every step, even the stupid ones.

[@danbulmer]

good stuff HM. Converted my L3+ over today when I logged into it and saw that 80 percent of the hash rate was going to the dev accounts. Up and running thanks to your help. Will be flashing this OS onto my two S9s as well for what it's work. Keep up the great web content.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Good stuff!

[@arigornstrider]

I just picked up a couple L3+ 504m units recently that had the HiveOn firmware on them. The dev fee was taking more than the quoted 1.8% on my two, even after updating to the latest HiveOn firmware, so I ended up switching to a different firmware that doesn't charge a dev fee. Still has the fan control and overclocking and undercoating features, so I'm glad I made the switch. For the noctua fans, you can use a pair of flush cutters to remove the inset tab off the noctua fan connector, that way you keep the tab on the control board fan header to make sure you plug the fan in correctly.

[@1187209]

What firmware did you end up using?

[@uddemannen]

2.8% dev fee on hive...i ended up with no fee firmware too. I had major safety issues with hive and just that you can't delete your account without contacting support is just annoying.

[@Bartop-Free]

How and where can I see how much they charge me for the fee? Where can I see this information? I need to see how much they are charging me...

[@kf4wnf]

I just picked up 3 L3+'s this week and found this video and upgraded all 3 to the HiveOS Firmware. After doing so and running a few days on ProHashing, I noticed I really wasn't making hardly anything. Started digging around and found out that Hive has a built-in "Dev Fee" in their firmware. i.e. Hive is sucking out around 3% in the background on each miner running their firmware. So, all these KZbinr's out there promoting to install Hive Firmware are probably getting paid to promote it. Because NONE of them are telling about this hidden fee. They state that the Hive Firmware is FREE...however, it is far from free. They are charging you in the background.

[@Cardmonger]

What firmware do you recommend?? I just got an L3++

[@cryptokrag7922]

I use the HiveOS firmware on some of my S19's and really like it. Good stuff!

[@enokanature1]

Great video been watching you for awhile, thought this guy probably got a video on asics setups, amazing stuff , thank you

[@mustachemining6275]

That was an extremely well done video. Great work! Keep it up.👍

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thank you! I tried to even make it shorter, but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.

[@leewallace7006]

just so you know, for if you have to do another , you dont need to take the screws out to slide the control board out , just hold the clips open and it will slide out ;-)

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thanks!

[@AxisCreekMining]

How did u get to 400 ish watts? I did same thing and I’m getting 660w 504 mh? Did you adjust any other settings? GREAT VIDEO BTW very informative and easy to follow!! No BS and straight to the point!

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Was a bug I found. A reboot and I am at 660watts.

[@AxisCreekMining]

@@TheHobbyistMiner Ahhh gotcha thank you for the info! Keep doin what your doin it’s greatly appreciated 🫡

[@Couldntellya]

this video !!! great job. exactly what I was looking for. thank you.

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

Hmm. The auto tune settings in HiveOS... got mine down to 502Mh/s at 690w..... Was hoping for the 400-450w range..

[@Slowburnae]

hey there, i need some help... mine was just light red and blue of the board on for 1 min, then red light flashing for a min, then still for 5 secs then green light flashing

[@markbale7002]

Did this reduce the noise levels on the better efficieny settings?

[@SwanCastleCrypto]

Very well done, I know how much goes into making a good tutorial. Thanks!

[@Couldntellya]

What is the name of the video for the S19? Can you add a link to it in the description please?

[@dkroen17]

How easy is it to revert back to the bitmain software?

[@Bartop-Free]

Excelente .. gracias!!!

[@darmostechne4032]

good job! I wanted to ask you a question, I installed the firmware on an L3+, but the browser doesn't accept the default password. do you have some advice Thank you

[@javansheneman3659]

Awesome video. Thank you. Did you ever end up replacing the fans?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Video Coming up this week!

[@DavidGalan777]

Great tutorial! Can you say how much LTC (or $ equivalent) it makes per day ?

[@leewallace7006]

where does the doge coin go , if you dont put a doge wallet adress in flight sheet ?

[@kevinbrown8920]

So I know the hashrates are different STOCK on the different submodels for the L3, my question is how the hashrates change on hiveos firmware, are you still getting 504mh on the 660 watts for the L3+ 504mh model?? Can't seem to find the stats on those submodels...?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

ASIC Miner Value has the Stats for the different sub models. But once you go to the HIVEOS Firmware its all the same.

[@llcoolturtle5378]

I just kept uploading/upgrading the files on the L3+ console, worked about the 10th time lol

[@ruszip1]

I would be interested in what the firmware does on a L3+. At this second, I see 548mh, 24 hour average of 519mh , at a setting of 400m, lowest voltage, 702 watts, using BlissZ, Litecoinpool. I can get lower power usage 387m and lowest asic voltage, 680 watts using an HP 1200 watt platinum HSTNNS-PL30 but I'm not real sure of the 24 hour average.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

I am eager to try some other power supplies. Right now it has the APW3+ on it.

[@BojanglesTheMiner]

I just used the upgrade tool inside the Miner to upload the HiveOn firmware. No SD card or disassembling of the L3

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

If that works, stick with it! I have had issues in the past with Bitmain Firmware blocking outside Firmware actually. They put something in their newer Firmwares. So SD Card is the only way to go there.

[@BojanglesTheMiner]

@The Hobbyist Miner I had the same issue, I had to use a resignature file, that HiveOn also has. Upload that, reboot. Then upload the HiveOn firmware

[@Way2fast4ya]

@thehobbyistminer - great video! I have 4 GPU rigs on my Hive account already so I have maxed out the free account limit. If I add one of these ASICs, will that put me over the free account limit and activate all of them now to charge me each month? Any ideas here and hope that makes sense?

[@germanretorto8177]

Hola amigo, cómo puedo ver el estado de los chips ? En hiveos?

[@videoswitmusic]

does this work on the a4+?

[@bobsingle45]

I see the L3+ & L3++ used interchangeably. Is there a difference?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Hashrates. There are 4 different L3 Models using the name L3+ or L3++, Their Hashrate and Watts Differ. My L3++ Model is from factory 580Mh/s at 942watts. Check ASIC Miner Value you can see all of them.

[@MrSkinny602]

It would be awesome if the doge coin miners could be added into hive and get some efficiency.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Are you referring to the Mini ASICS from Goldshell that Mine Doge and LiteCoin? If so I heard its on the roadmap for HIVEOS.

[@hiveon_official]

We are planning on bringing these models into the fold, although we don't have an exact ETA for the release.

[@kennycheng9538]

Hi, Bro! thanks for that amazing video!! greting from China and I am your super fans. i wondering to ask you maybe could make an video for building an Aleo node?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thanks for your support. I am not familiar with Aleo

[@TheTravelersTravels]

Great video! 👍👍 I'd like a Hiveon asic hub video please

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Adding it to the List!

[@M-A-C-]

Can these by run off 120v outlet?

[@hiveon_official]

An L3+ can run off a 120v outlet with a PSU like an APW3++.

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Thanks HIVEOS for the details!

[@NewEnglandCrypto]

@@hiveon_official FTW

[@ahmed987-p5d]

How come you got 430w I get 660w in software and 700w on Wall using the same settings for my L3+

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Only thing I can think of is temps. This is in my shed and its 30 F outside.

[@cafrmen]

@@TheHobbyistMiner So you still have 430W after few days? Thanks.

[@briananderson305]

Will this work without Hive OS?

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Yes. You could upgrade the firmware and not tie it to your Farm Hash.

[@Giroux68]

Let’s see this with the s19j and the asic hub!

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Don't need ASIC Hub if you move to the HIVEOS Firmware on the S19J Pro. My S19J Pro's control board is too new, waiting for them to update their firmware

[@ultramega8792]

People that Use Mean Well AC-DC Single Output LED Drivers for Power , Get far better performance , than if they use the China Drivers, most Things use China Drivers for Power, Mean well Drivers, made in the USA, are a lot more power efficient ! I think its the DC, Current that provides more efficient, it does not Wave like AC. Eddy Current ! Does Mean Well Make a power Supply for Your Machine ? i bet it Does. I Notice China Writing on the Power Supplies Used by minors. Maybe I am Wrong, But pot Growers Prefer Mean well Power Supplies for the Grow Lights...

[@lordPix3lUK]

Its easier to just flash it

[@tnossis5829]

watch those dev fees

[@TheHobbyistMiner]

Noted.

[@BlessedNoob]

Going through the Ip address of the miner with Bitmain software I've had much better luck and oc than through hiveos
