Title: Possible to do mining segregation? Mining master pls come in!
Post by: leftover_potato on February 22, 2018, 04:11:41 AM
Hi guys,

I would like to know if it's possible to segregate GPU's to mine other stuffs.

For example,

I have a mining rig consist of 8 units gtx 1080 in a single rig. I would like to allocated 2 of them to mine ETN and the remaining 6 to mine ETH. Different pool. Possible to separate them without getting another MB,riser etc...

May I know if the above scenario is possible?

Appreciate your opinions on this.

Thank you!

Yes, you can do it easily
Just set what gpus will mine ETN in miner with -d option
ccminer -d 0,1 - this will allow 2 card working for specified algo
and then start another ccminer -d 2,3,4,5,6 - this will force other 5 cards to work on diff algo

hello!

Thank you for your reply.

May I ask for example? In terms of the code lines. TQ! ;D

Appreciate it if you are able to guide me based on my line below:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal mew address/miner name/email

The OP has a valid point. Take the Asus B250 Mining Expert. Do you really want all 19 GPUs to mine in the same pool or the same coin?

same coin.

giving a scenario:

i have 8 gtx 1080. i wanted to mine eth with the 8 gpu. due to partnership between friends.

hence, 2 will mine eth and goes into a different address. and the remaining 6 will mine eth goes into a different address.

same mining pool. or different pool. does it matter? :D

You can do it just like Castle07 described. I don't see why it should be a problem. Actually it can be a nice way to try other coins with one of the GPU to see if it is Worth changing all GPU's to other coin than currently mining. Or just to diversify and spreading the risks.

Currently using Claymore, if you're interested here is an example.

You should probably check out Excavator - it's better than most of the others for running different algos on different cards - as it supports most of the algo's out there, and it's trivial to assign different algo's to difference cards.  Plus you can do it on the fly without stopping anything via their JSON API - pretty cool.
