Hey guys put together a basic video going over the setup and use of Simple Mining / Simple Miner OS. I cover how to flash your USB / HDD and sync up EWBF / Claymore to mine ZenCash, Ethereum, Bitcoin Gold, Hush, and the same settings apply for a lot of other coins such as Zcash.

I want to move to the US for cheap GPU's.... go on Amazon.co.uk and laugh at me...

Great video/guide as always Vosk

That is because EU taxes are 2-3 times higher than in the US.

Great video as always Vosk!

Quick question.

1) Would you kindly post your SMOS Zencash 1070 ti overclock settings?

(i'm 180, 700, 120watts, avg 490 sols running 6x 1070 ti)

2) I've likely done something wrong... but I switched over from NVOC to SMOS on your recommendation... I seem to lose sync between SMOS web based interface and the mining rig itself (routinely). The web interface will go from green to red and displays 'offline'... while the miner continues to mine seemingly uneffected by the loss of connection to the SMOS web interface.

Has anyone else had these web dashboard connection issues? How did you overcome the dashboard dropping issues?

Thanks for any insight.

thanks brother!

// we need to build you an epic GPU package to ship you from the US lol

Thanks man!

That's odd. . what does the pool show for your rig performance? I have never had that issue, maybe someone on the main smOS thread could help?  sorry wish I could give some better insight on that one xD

Great video Bro! I've been using SMOS for sometime and consider it one of the best. I appreciate your videos and the feedback you offer. It takes time to put these videos and descriptions together. Just wanted you to know it is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Great video and I have been watching everything you published up to this point. Got me to truly consider building a second rig for my home after watching a learning a little bit more on how I could save some additional money going a different route than I did with my current build out.  I just wish there was a cheaper options for frames.  Seems crazy to me that they are priced so high. I am not a fan of the look of using a shoe rack or any kind of rack but they work just not pretty.  Guess I will stick with those for now.  Great content!

Thanks my man I really appreciate that awesome feedback, guys like you are what drive the VoskCoin YT channel

Thank you :D
Some of the prebuilt frames like the ones from Parallel Miner and Mining Cave are really nice but I agree it would be nice to see them cheaper. I see a lot of nice frames made out of simply wood for not much and some really cost effective shoerack builds like you mentioned. I want to build a super cheap but quality DIY rig frame for fun but it keeps getting pushed aside on my to-do list lol

smOS has DSTM miner integrated into now which is pretty cool, working great on my six cards but not stable for my 12 card

Hey Vosk,

How would you rate smOS compared to nvOC?

I'm up to 8 rigs now, all running nvOC and it can be a bit of a pain to manually tweak x8 1main and x8 3bash files.

Does smOS feature a central management console that it easier to manage a small farm?  What about rigs with mixed cards?  Can those be tweaked both individually and as a single group?

Thanks!

smos is easiest as it has the web portal so once you set up your rig groups (rig groups are your miner and config/pool settings) you just choose which rig group, save, and reboot the miner so it's done.

I like nvOC and fullzero, but smOS has simplified my life a lot and really increased my farm productivity + ability to easily switch coins

Yeah you can change invidual settings by inputting them as 100,120,75 etc gpu 0 1 2

Agreed smOS was a good name it really is simple / easy / effective

Hey, Vosk

Thanks for the video, Great work man  ;D

I have a question tho..;

If I want to mine Solaris or Verge or groestlcoin How does one sets up the SMOS for those ???

Does anybody has done such a thing?

I have been trying different things with no luck and got little confused ... or maybe it's not possible?

Anyways

Cheers

Windows has biggest choice of coins and pools to mine.

Smos is easy and most of my rigs are smos. But I have three windows rigs

I have seen that most RX 580s have diifculty getting recognized on Linux based OSes and you mostly have to run them on Windows.
I have 3 RX 580s running on windows right now but the power consumptions are ~150W per card for 29MH/s ETH and ~90MH/s LBR.

Would SimpleOS be good to try for better results? Just looking for an opinion on this from those who have tried.

I haven't personally done it but have you tried w/ ccminer?

phil what do you sync your 3 windows rigs up to?

what linux os were you having trouble with?

Vosk, I have been following your videos very closely and started my first rig build.  It is an eight GPU 1050ti rig with the exact same hardware as the one you and Corbin built.

I am having issues with the USB after burning the Nvidia smOS.  I am using the 32GB USB 3.0 Lexar and 64GB USB 3.0 Lexar.

The USB is not recognized by the rig.

When plugging the USB into my PC I am prompted to format the USB and am also notified that the USB is having problems. 

I have tried formatting the USBs and reflashing with the smOS image several times on three different Lexar USB sticks.
All USBs when connected to a PC after flashing prompt a problem notification.  All three USBs sticks are not visible when plugged into the rig.


Any insight on fixing this would be greatly appreciated as I have my entire rig put together but dont have an operating system to run it!

PLEASE HELP

Having trouble with 6 gpu, what are the options

Just ignore the fact windows says it has a problem and needs to be formatted

For the rig is it the only hard drive plugged in? SmOS is an OS so it’s stand-alone my rigs simply have a usb plugged into them / it’s not something you can use on top of windows unless you boot into the usb instead of booting into windows

Unplug your HDD/SSD, got to bios, make first boot option USB.

whats the best settings for overclocking rx580 and rx570 on smos

So with SmOS there is no need for a boot drive for the miner pc? or Windows at all?

Thanks Vosk for all you have been contributing.
Hoping that Tails is hanging in there.

Thank you! I really like this. This has been the hardest part for me, the config. I'd love to see more of these from you, including bminer.

Do you dual mine in SMOS? If so, would love to see your setting for this too.

Thanks

happy to help! I can make that happen, been meaning to get to a bminer update here its on the to-do list!

I am having a similar issue. After writing the IMG file to USB it disappeared from my computer. It's there, but I have no way of accessing the drive to edit the config.

I'm using macOS to format and the USB is a Lexar 32GB 3.0 with Nvidia smOS on it.

I've been troubleshooting the connection but I think it might have to do with macOS. Can't even boot to USB because the drive is not recognized.

Any ideas/solutions?

How do i Remove / Reinstall SMOS from USB, if want to use as normal flash drive Again
i was using SMOS my 64 GB Kingston USB .one day it stooped working giving boot error.Now i want to remove/Format the USB but it is not possible because  the flashing tool of SMOS is saying that your device is locked.i used several USB format tools in windows.all ended up saying disk is write protected.i tried to remove write protection though Regedit command and CMD but no success.how do i get rid of this corrupted SMOS from my USB by formatting or how do reinstall it.pl help me in this regards.

Yes, im having the same Problem. Without being able to see the USB drive on a windows machine, you cant edit the config.txt.
I have also tried pulling the usb drive up on another machine running ubuntu and cant find the config.txt file anywhere.
Does anyone know if there is a way to edit config.txt maybe through SSH?

I cant seem to extract smos after download?
Windows tells me the compressed zip folder cannot be extracted because it is empty?

ive also noticed ATIFlash for bios mod doesn't work either for windows 1803.

Is the empty smos problem related to windows update too?

This is not working anymore.

I think now --algo and --pers are required: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4466962.0

Can you please update the tutorial?
