Is using a custom ASIC firmware from BiXBiT free?

Our software for Antminer, Whatsminer is distributed for free. Please keep in mind that custom firmware includes Developers Fee, which is a reward for developers. Usually it is 1.8%-2.8% of the miner’s total hashrate which is automatically deducted during the work of the device.

Why the ASIC does not start after selecting a profile?

If you mean the very first run after flashing the device, it sometimes takes up to an hour for the inbuilt algorithm to finish configuring your ASIC.

How to bypass the “Cannot Find Signature” message during the flashing process of the ASIC?

Read our user manual for your specific miner version, it describes actions to eliminate this error, when it occurs.

Does the ASIC lose its warranty from the manufacturer when used with a custom firmware?

There is no definite answer. To avoid warranty issues, please use the firmware from the manufacturer.

Is it risky to use the custom firmware for ASIC from BiXBiT?

Absolutely not. All firmware revisions are thoroughly tested before each release. Moreover, all BiXBiT capacities have been running on these firmwares for many years.

Is BiXBiT AMS compatible with microprograms from other developers?

No. Our automated monitoring system is only compatible with our software.

Is it possible to revert the ASIC back to its original settings after using a custom firmware?

Yes, just bring back the official firmware in the usual way.

What level of knowledge is required to flash a miner?

We have specially made instructions for every version of the miner. Everything is described in a simple and clear way, so even a beginner can handle it. Besides, you are always backed with our team of technicians who are always in touch and willing to help.

2. CONNECTING A DEVICE

Before powering on, make sure that your electrical supply, wiring, and circuit breakers are rated for the device’s power consumption.

The device does not have a power on/off button. It starts operating immediately when connected to the power supply, and a brief power surge typically occurs at that moment. It is strongly not recommended to connect the device by plugging the power cord into a live (energized) outlet, as this may damage the power connectors, plug, or socket. Whenever possible, provide each device with a dedicated circuit breaker and power it on using that breaker.

Insert the power cable into the device and ensure the connection is secure.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the appropriate port on the device and the other end to an available port on a router, switch, or modem.
Insert the power plug into the wall outlet and supply power to the device by switching on the circuit breaker.
Verify that the device’s fans start operating and that the LED indicators illuminate. After a few seconds, the indicators in the Ethernet port should also light up and blink.
If the fans do not start and the LEDs do not illuminate, check the device’s power supply.
If the device powers on but the Ethernet indicators do not operate, make sure that the router/switch is powered on and that the network cable is functional and properly connected.
