Mining fee
- The firmware has a mining fee of either 1.8% or 2.8%
- The mining fee is based on a parallel mining concept to avoid any interruptions to the normal mining
- The firmware with a 2.8% mining fee includes an Awesome Miner license and doesn't consume any of the licenses available in Awesome Miner. This makes it possible to run Awesome Miner and Cloud Services without paying anything for the license as long as the firmware with a 2.8% mining fee is being used.
Installation
Antminer S9, T9, L3, S17, T17
It's recommended to install the firmware via Awesome Miner. Awesome Miner can install the Awesome Miner firmware on compatible Antminers, including Antminers with disabled SSH access and firmware signature validation enabled. The only exceptions are:
- Antminer L3+ running Bitmain firmware from July 2019 - requires SD-card to install
- Antminer S17/T17 running Bitmain firmware from December 2019 - requires SD-card to install
- Antminer S17+/T17+ - requires SD-card to install
To install the firmware via Awesome Miner, go to the toolbar: Main -> ASIC Tools -> Update firmware. The firmware can be selected from a list and Awesome Miner will automatically download and install the firmware on all selected miners.
Antminer S19, T19, S21, T21, L7
The firmware can either run directly from the SD card or be flashed to the Antminer memory (NAND). Please note that you need to know the controller type on the Antminer before proceeding with the installation. The controller can either be Xilinx, BeagleBone (BB) or AmLogic.
Learn more in the Antminer S19, S21 firmware guide
Important steps after the installation
- It's important to select a Mining Profile (the hashrate level you want), otherwise there will not be any significant hashrate improvements. The mining profile can either be set via Awesome Miner or the Antminer web interface.
- Awesome Miner:
Go to the toolbar: Main -> ASIC Tools -> Firmware mining profile - Antminer web interface (S9, T9, L3, S17, T17):
Go to Miner Configuration -> Mining profiles. - Antminer web interface (S19, T19, S21, T21, L7):
Go to Mining -> Performance.
- Awesome Miner:
- After selecting a Mining Profile, the miner will restart itself a number of times over the next few hours. This is expected and part of the optimization process.
Please contact us for any questions about the installation.
Downloads
In many scenarios the easiest installation method is to use Awesome Miner to download and install the firmware to the Antminers.- NAND
- NAND is the term for the storage on the Antminer controller. When installing to NAND the firmware will be loaded when the Antminer is started - without the need of an SD-card
- Note that the NAND installer cannot be installed directly on top of the Bitmain firmware. Please use Awesome Miner to perform the installation.
- SD-card
- Certain Antminers requires an SD card to install the firmware
- For Antminer S19, S21, T19, T21 and L7 the SD card must be kept inside the Antminer controller all the time if using the SD-card installation method. Please consider the NAND installation method.
- The SD image must be downloaded and flashed to a SD card, while the SD upgrade is used to upgrade an Antminer running with an SD-card

Documentation
Frequently asked questions
Why is the miner restarting itself?
When selecting a mining profile for the first time the firmware will reboot the Antminer a number of times during the next 1 - 2 hours as part of the auto tuning - the process where the firmware optimizes the performance of each individual ASIC chip.
What is the mining fee?
The firmware has a built-in mining fee to support the development of the firmware. The goal of the firmware is to provide significantly better hashrate performance, more features and improved Awesome Miner integration, making the mining fee very affordable.
The mining fee is either 1.8% or 2.8% depending on firmware. Example: With a total hash rate of 100 TH/s and 2.8% mining fee, no more than 2.8T H/s will be used for the mining fee.
The mining fee consist of two pools named DevFee that are running mining in parallel. These two pools are working with a very low difficulty level, resulting in a high number of accepted shares. A high number of shares doesn't indicate that the DevFee pools are taking all hashrate - it's a result of the low difficulty level for each of the shares.
Please contact us for additional information about the firmware.
