Personally I do hope they do it. Get rid of all the A3's.

I used my phone as a hotspot for 20 rigs for a month - no hashrate loss poolside so it was nice and stable.
What I did though was configure my DD-WRT router to bridge the Phones signal, then ran the Cat5 cables to all the rigs instead of using WiFi for all of them. Actually I could only run 5 devices off hotspot so that's also the bonus of bridging to your router.
1/2 the rigs didn't have WiFi - the ones that did were all internal chips but it was unreliable connecting via the onboard WiFi.
once I switched to the router, I had no issues using my hotspot.
The good thing too is you can move the Router anywhere, because the Router is picking up your phone's signal, and then just routing it via the Cat5.

Thanks to dragonmike I got my first Onda D1800 running; turns out that v2.00 of the boards does, indeed, expect you to plug a VGA (yes, as in the port) monitor into the mobo if you want to actually see what you are doing. That is the exact opposite of what the Aliexpress listing said to do (namely, use one of the GPUs to drive the monitor).
Unfortunately, Windows 10 being the bitch that it is I am still updating the cursed thing so haven't gotten any mining done with it. I can tell you all one thing about this board, though - that Untel Celery processor is slow as shit. I suspect an abacus would give it the sweats...
Just wait until Creator's update 1709 is on and you'll truly see how slow it is... Fortunately it'll have no impact on mining speed!  Unless you need the updates in order to use the latest drivers you can just block windows updates with a third party app. It's much less worry and hassle that way imo. i've always highly advised everyone to just go and disable the winupdate I've also made my own stripped down version removing everything using - can't say enough about being able to clean install Win10 with no Cortana, no WinDefender and none of the app packages. It's a beautiful thing. I also added in nVidia drivers to the install but it's not totally needed, on the same USB I use to install I also have a folder with all the mining software I use, so .bat files, Afterburner, Miners, Misc Drivers etc etc.  Get rigs up and running in no time. Going to fiddle if I can somehow slipstream in after burner and those programs to be installed by default it would be amazing. Also if anyone is interested this is my PowerShell script for Power settings, Virtual Memory and PCI Link state: # PowerShell Script to set the size of pagefile.sys
$computersys = Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem -EnableAllPrivileges;
$computersys.AutomaticManagedPagefile = $False;
$computersys.Put();
$pagefile = Get-WmiObject -Query "Select * From Win32_PageFileSetting Where Name like '%pagefile.sys'";
$pagefile.InitialSize = 32000;
$pagefile.MaximumSize = 64000;
$pagefile.Put();

nsummy I am WAY jealous of those numbers. But for around $310 total and drawing 43W for 360h/s, I'm content enough (though if I buy any more, I would hold out for the i7s for SURE).
Yeah those numbers are nice. I can't get those on windows, it will bounce to 550, then rapidly just drop down to 250. Very weird. I also tried installing linux but it was an epic fail. I have no clue how to deploy xmr-stak on linux. I'm sure someone would have gotten a laugh seeing me trying to navigate through it all knowing zero about linux lol. Ah well. Try commenting out the memory thing (I posted about it previously, can't remember it this second but it's one of the steps suggested in the guide). That solved that same problem for mine. EDIT TO ADD: here it is: this may be a linux or Iris specific thing, but (at least on the i5) doing the suggested change to sudo vi /etc/security/limits.conf dropped my start from 359 to 320, and eventually my hashrate dropped to 180. Commenting it out brought everything back to 359 and stable, so I suggest testing it if you want, but it doesn't seem necessary (if you are still getting locked RAM messages, I was able to get rid of them by sudo running the miner, but I don't think they had an effect on hashrate) I'm going to try out your suggestion. VyperBTC and I have been exchanging a few messages and we are both experiencing the same issue with hashrate dropping. It starts out fine, but eventually it will drop to the upper 200s. At first I thought maybe the processor was too hot and throttling, but restarting the miner fixes it so I don't think that is the issue. I've tried it but it didn't help unfortunately. I'm not sure how it would effect performance programming a script to close out and sudo start the xmr-stak every 15-30min. That's not getting to the root of the issue, it's just a bandage to get around the actual issue of why the hell is it happening lol Well at least my problem isn't happening every 15 minutes. More like letting it run for 15 hours then it happens  Actually though I just thought of something. Did you ever go into the bios and enable turbo mode? I think without that, the processor does actually throttle and that might explain why it happens so quickly for you. No i didn't - the only thing i did was enable power on if power loss. I'll change that and see if it helps, thanks! |

Any of you guys mine nist5 using smos ? Care to share the miner string ?
ccminerAlexis78.exe -a nist5 -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.poolofd32th.club:3833 -u MyBWKaddyHereBitch -p $rigName Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. Would like to mine it on nicehash using smos. Anyone out there doing that ? -a NIST5 -o stratum+tcp://nist5.hk.nicehash.com:3340 -u 1MeNT9pFtQvQ9BNzHrtbnSNwVE9WjeLjmW.$rigName -p x Use any of the ccminer at smos -- hopefully smos include alexis ccminer version soon, which is fastest ccminer variant in mining NIST5 10180tis best for NIST5 For non-1080tis, neoscrypt is most profitable currently. Good fucking luck, been asking for it for I don't know, 8 months now? No offense to anyone using smos... FUCK SMOS. |

Start it off as a hobby to learn something new - it's great to get those new neurological pathways firing up.
No it's not plug and play like everyone said, but there are loads and loads and loads of tutorials and after going through those step by steps most folks will be a-ok.
We have a great community of very knowledgeable people that are willing to share and guide others, but don't expect to be spoon fed, as with anything read learn read learn read read read read, keep reading.
I feel it's very rewarding, and I'm not talking about monetarily, just the cool things you pick up through the journey are great.

If it has an Iris pro then the L3 size is irrelevent. The issue you will run into though is that the I5 only have 4 cores and no hyperthreading. To take full advantage you need 8 threads. Make sure for the low power setting you are putting in 5. you should probably be in the 300s
Well that sucks a bit. And I was wondering why they don't have hyperthreading, every i5 I've owned up to now has. Weird. Still, at 300 I'm not thrilled but I'd be happy enough, that's a 4.5-5 month ROI which is about average for mining gear. It's only pulling 40W so far while mining, so that's not too shabby... Damn not bad at all - 71w is what my i7 version is using. |

I suppose its my turn to contribute something. If you are into Cryptonight mining, which it sounds like a few of you are, check out this Gigabyte mini-pc for $250: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856164036You won't be adding any graphics cards (unless you are using eGPUS) but this thing will hash at 614 H/S. You might be wondering how its possible to get that kind of performance out of a cpu with a 6 mb l3 cache. The game changer is that this processor has an embedded Iris Pro GPU with a 128 MB L4 cache. XMR-Stak recently included an optimization to take advantage of this cache space. It should ROI itself in 2.5 months. You have to provide your own ram and HD, but it does come with a wifi card so you could put this thing anywhere. Ok, I picked up and set up one of the 5575rs (identical to the 5775, just i5 instead of i7). Out of the box and just using xmr-stak with the energy saver off, I'm getting around 200-202 h/s, which is not great but not bad. I haven't figured out how to enable support for the Iris Pro yet, still working on that, but I'm feeling pretty confident I can get it up significantly... EDIT: ok, not exactly identical, it's 2.8-3.3ghz and 4mb l3 instead of 3.3-3.8 and 6mb l3, but I still think I can get it up much higher than 200h/s If it has an Iris pro then the L3 size is irrelevent. The issue you will run into though is that the I5 only have 4 cores and no hyperthreading. To take full advantage you need 8 threads. Make sure for the low power setting you are putting in 5. you should probably be in the 300s So you're pulling 600 h/s on your i7? What needs to be changed in the config or CPU file . . . I'm only pulling in 250, I didn't mess around with any of the low power settings, it's still on the stock "false" - |

You're right though, it is a zippy little thing. You said you've got it working off USB? Are you using win2go or something like that? I tried it on a rig that was using a G4400 and it was just way too laggy and slow. Hash aside, I actually like it. Made me look into the Intel NUC version, nice and slim. 3x the price but I might I like it so why not. |

Is there a way to extract the data from the miner data and put it into a chart that way we would know what the actual 24 hour pay per each algo actually was?
the 24hr.bat uses the last 24hour actual API (actual 24 hour pay per each algo... it is not a estimate) Regards Nemo That's not what I'm talking about. I want a way to graph what every coin has been paying over the past 24 hours according to my benchmarks. |

Bought a couple of the Iris Pro 6200's at Microcenter for $400 to play with today - not worth it at all. Even at $250, add another $100 for Ram and SSD, it's only getting 250 H/s so you're talking about 12 months for your return.
God I love returning crap.
"So what was wrong this time?"
"Nothing, I just want my money back"
"Ok"

who's miner are you using for these?

Couple of things:
-No one knows what Volta's will be like for mining more importantly at what price point. While I love a 90Mh/s or 1000 sol/s card Im not paying 3500 for it. I'd rather mine with a predictable output than bank on a "maybe it will be feasible"
-Hindsight is always 20/20; no one can predict the future.
-Buying through exchanges is great as long as the coin grows 2x-3x every other month. If not you're better off mining. So you hedge your bets. Doing both is the best approach for most ppl.
-Dont buy shit coins but keep a certain percentage of what you mine to take advantage of market booming; sell the rest to pay electricity and initial capital invested.
If the market tanks (and those coins in your exchange are worthless) you have your gpus to bank on rather than losing everything i.e. damage limitation.
Good advice for a solid foundation. |

Those are 2 pretty damn cool tools BitBustah - I don't have a server or webpage so don't know how I would be able to implement that, but it's pretty cool non the less! What I'm currently doing is just manually copy and pasting the total earned every 24 hours, subtract that from yesterday's total. Divide that by the pools hashrate so that way I have an idea how much I'm earning on that algo per card/hashrate. |
