🚨🚨 PSA:DO NOT UPDATE YOUR S21 TO THE NEW BITMAIN FIRMWARE 🚨🚨

🚨🚨 PSA:DO NOT UPDATE YOUR S21 TO THE NEW BITMAIN FIRMWARE 🚨🚨

Bitmain decided to pull a fast one on the home mining and immersion mining community....... NONE of the standard green spoofers as used in the crypto industry will work with this new firmware
 
Users, including ourselves, are reporting an inability to hash with Bitmain's latest firmware dated February 2nd that was released about a week ago.
 
You will NOT be able to spoof your S21 with this new firmware AND it yields 1-2 less TH.
 
You will end up with the below........
 
Prior to the update, everything was running perfectly fine......
 
BUT I ALREADY UPGRADED. NOW WHAT?
Option 1: Njord Board
 
Right now, only Njord boards spoofers work perfectly with the S21 new firmware — that's what we had to do with our in-house S21 and it has been tested with no issues
 
The main drawback to these is that Njord ONLY works with AC Infinity Cloudline series fans; it will not work with Vevor, Vivosun etc. 
 
We understand Njord boards are on the expensive side and therefore we will be giving these out at COST for the trouble to all impacted customers. Please message us with your information and we will send you custom discounted quote/order for your purchase.
 
Below is a video of us successfully testing the new firmware with a Njord board
 
Option 2: New V2 Spoofers
 
We have procured new spoofers from our supplier, that they certified as working with ALL firmware versions of the S21
 
These won't be arriving until next week though, so the Njord board option above is a much faster option if time is a constraint. 
We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused, not sure what Bitmain is doing with that update....
 
AND to make matters worse, they refuse to provide the older firmware. We reached out to them to try and get a copy of the firmware and they told us it's not possible despite multiple followups. Thanks Bitmain.
If you are impacted, please reach out to us via email and we will do our best to rectify this issue
