Title: Was getting MH/s now geting Sol/S
Post by: cylemmulo on December 24, 2017, 04:12:19 PM
So I was mining on zenmine.pro with my gtx 1080 and I was getting maybe 0.13 ZEN a day for about 4 days. I remember my hash rate was at like 23MH/s. I tried a few other sites like supernova, and things seemed to slow down a lot now. My miner is now showing about 530 Sol/S, which if 1 sol = 1 hash, and 1 mh = 1000 has, that is ALOT slower.

Is this the case? is it possible while reconfiguring for another site or installing a different program that I changed something? I've also seen where people get both those averages on mining, but that doesn't make any sense to me if the conversion is correct.

Well, Equihash miners tend to use sols, there is probably no way you had 23,000 from one miner. Though 530 sols seems about what one GTX 1070ti would do, not an entire mining rig. Can you give more info? What cards and what miner?

I'm running a regular 1080 (so I believe about he same at your 1070ti) on EWFB's miner.

I searched when I was getting like 24 mh/s and people were saying that was average for a 1080 also. Does it just depend on the algorithm then? Maybe my miner was just showing wrong before.

different algos different hash rates usually.

Yeah it sounds like you switch from Ethhash, or Ethereum mining to Equihash. 24 mh is about right for a 1080, I think if they have Samsung memory they can be pushed a bit higher.

 You weren't getting 24 Mh/s on EBWF for a single 1080.
 You were mining some other algorithm at the time.

 Hashrates vary WIDELY depending on the algorithm - GPUs on Bitcoin were commonly managing several hundred Mhash/s but some of the same GPUs on Monero or equihash struggle to get past 300 HASH (sols) / sec

You were probablly mining Ethash algorithm..

 24 Mhash/s is reasonable for Ethhash (ETH/ETC/others) algorithm on a stock or near-stock 1080.

 Is this zenmine.pro site one of those "coin converter multi-coin" type sites, like Suprnova?

I have seen people get 27+ with rx570 and rx580 are you sure 1080 cannot get higher? I thought it was a better card. It costs more. Can't you get 30+ with a 1080?

GTX 1080 isn't a good card for mining.

Suprnova does not offer multi-mining pools or coin conversion. They are not Nicehash, the shitty stoner service that negatively affects all miners.

Not that bad, 510 H/s on Equihash with a massive powerlimit (125W only)
They are just bad at ETH mining because of their GDDR5X but for others algo they are good.

And I find them on eBay for 430€ in june

 At least Nicehash doesn't kill 50% or more of your hashrate on many algorithms due to shitty implimentation of VARDIF that screws you straight up front by ramping the diff up to IMPOSSIBLE levels fast then taking forever to ramp down, then repeat once it finally DOES ramp down to a viable level.

 GDDR5X has latency issues that severely hurt Ethhash mining on the 1080 and 1080 ti.
 This appears to be WHY the GTX 1070 had HIGHER ETH hashrate than the 1080, and fairly close to the 1080 ti even though the 1080 ti is a MUCH higher end card.
 No, the 1080 will NOT achieve 30+ ETH Mhash, unless you get INSANELY lucky on the silicon sweepstakes and can OC it a TON higher than most manage - and likely not even then.

 1080 is a better card on algorithms that are NOT severely memory-limited though, like equihash used by ZEN/ZCL/ZEC.
