Mining is low bandwidth - I doubt that any change to Net Neutrality would affect it.
They could block mining traffic unless you pay a toll fee. Then you'll try to encrypt your data so they can't do deep packet inspection. Guess what, they'll block all data they can't inspect in name of counter terrorism and money laundering. That's the kind of innovation supporters of the repeal want. Innovations to make your wallet bleed. Block traffic unless you pay a special fee would open them up to massive class-action lawsuits though for breach of contract and restraint of trade, among other potential legally actionable issues. METER it, they might be able to get away with without being sued - but mining is such low bandwidth there's no POINT to hassling it for any ISP, it's NOT what causes them to overload. |

The numbers in the dashboard have NEVER seemed to have a consistant grasp of reality - always off quite a bit one way or the other compared to the "24 hour" or "12 hour" numbers.
I have ZERO idea where the dashboard and "projected" numbers come from - they seem to be about 50% random factor around the REAL numbers.

When I did my dstm testing, I was using flypool - WITH a worker address.
Your problem is NO PASSWORD.
Try adding "--p x" to the end of your command line in the bat file.

maybe, but if BCC continues to be more than a viable competitor of BTC, that may keep the difficulty down somewhat
Do you mean BCH? BCC is some minor altcoin on it's own algorithm from a couple-three years ago. |

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'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.
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 |

CPU mining has very little to no effect on most GPU miners.
Most of my GPU rigs do Monero mining.
The ones that aren't are mostly working the YOYO project at BOINC for now, because I haven't "converted" them yet.
They're almost all converted from FAH work, where the CPU mattered and PCI-E bus throughput made a big difference, so the 8320e on most of them is severe overkill for a pure mining rig.
Running older ETH miners that didn't do the DAG on the GPU would bog the CPU side down a lot - about once every 3 days ballpark - for a few minutes, that's about the only place I could see CPU mining affecting GPU mining noticeably.

I prefer "reliable" to "highest hashrate" - which leaves out anything Gigabyte other than the Aorus series due to the junk fans, and anything Zotac but the AMP Extreme as none of those seem to have ball-bearing fans either.
PNY .... hasn't ever impressed me with their performance, and their quality isn't so great any more too. I stopped buying them years ago, again due to JUNK FAN issues.

It is possible to create a custom BIOS for a NVidia 10xx series card - they have a tool that can be accessed to make the checksum that will let it work - but 78 Mhash on ETH is NOT credable for a 1080 ti.

D3 has been profitable all along - just not CRAZY profitable unless you got the first batch, before the massive sales of D3 and competitor units sent the difficulty skyrocketing (like I SAID it would in a couple threads).
The recent DASH price surge should have kicked profitability up quite a bit.

Dears i using this card ( sapphire radeon hd 4850 vapor-x 512mb ) but the miner can not find it every time i need help to Mine using this card and i need to know how much hash rates for this card
Congratulations on your RECORD SETTING NECRO for this forum. |

Moonlander 2 is the only USB-based miner currently available using a current-generation chip.
With the recent runup on Litecoin pricing, it's looking like it has a real chance to achieve ROI sometime next year.
Sidehack so far is selling sticks and pods based on older-generation Bitmain chips, he's not gotten a pod or stick working with Bitfury current-gen chips yet.

Hi guys,
Is it safe to connect molex or 6-pin cable directly to riser board?
As far as I read, the SATA/molex and SATA/6pin power adapters are the ones that should be avoided?
I bought a few riser boards with 6-pin power socket. Came with sata-6pin adapter cables. Should I be using them or try to connect a 6-pin cable directly from the psu 6-pin socket?
Thanks in advance, I also asked the same question in a few thread I posted regarding dual psu and riser boards.
SATA connectors THEMSELVES are only rated for 54 watts of +12VDC draw, while the PCI-E spec for the bus allows for 75 watts draw. MOLEX are rated over 150 watts on the connector, the WIRING is what you have to watch there if you put more than one riser on a chain. PCI-E 6-pin using *2* +12VDC lines is good for almost 200 watts, the ones (not actual PCI-E spec) that have 3 +12VDC lines are good for 288. Molex and PCI-E 6-pin to riser are safe, SATA is problematic and often UNsafe. Keep in mind that the power conversion circuitry on the risers is NOT 100% efficient, so your actual draw from the power connector will be a little MORE than what the card itself is actually pulling. The only issue I have with the Mintcell risers to date is that once in a while the USB cable itself is iffy - but they're standard cables and cheap/easy to replace when that happens. |

Merry Cryptomas my fellow BTC talkers // the alt coin thread squad  If anyone is trying to get their friends /family into crypto and needs a little extra ammo hopefully my video could help lol https://youtu.be/pdHnZcffhegIt's still crazy for me to see, my dad is one of the more "oldschool" / not a risk taker / conservative as possible with his money, he wasn't sold on crypto but was into the fact that he could own hardware that would generate crypto for him. Anyway happy holidays my friends so qute dogs But where are the cats? Did some digging/research tonight, and I think I've found my new "go-to" power supply. Corsair AX860 - which appears to be the Seasonic SS-860 Platinum in Corsair packaging, right down to the same model fan (but the case and fan mount are Corsair-specific). I wonder if the cables are the same between the two? Too bad they didn't clone the X-850 Gold into one of their models. EVGA G2 850 remains my "backup" option, but the lower count on power supply side connectors remains an issue with my current "normal" rig build. |

I want to buy 8 more 1080 Ti by the end of the year. My first 8 were hybrids (two rigs with 4 each). I'm thinking that's a better strategy. But the lowliest EVGA board is almost $150 cheaper. That's $1200 more overall.
I like the hybrids because I mine in my basement near my office and I don't want a ton of noise, so I think (hope) the hybrids are quieter. I also believe that they run cooler and will have a better shot at being reliable. Finally, when it's time to retire them I think they might be easier to sell.
What do you all think about that?
Hybrids pretty much always maintain a lower temp. They are usually quieter, though if you're running at "efficient" settings the noise difference is very small. Lower temp USUALLY gives better long-term reliability. The only minus to hybrids is the COST. |

$459 yesterday on Newegg, limit 2. Haven't checked yet today. |

Thanks for the heads up Phil. Apparently, card prices have moved back to Crazy Town. I picked up some 8GB Red Dragons and Red Devils for $249 and $269 four weeks ago from NewEgg and now they are $400. I picked up a set of these Diamond MMs just to be able to offset some profit from the year. I haven't owned a Diamond card since the 7970s. Haven't seen them jump THAT much, but AMD card pricing DOES seem to be climbing some again after the Black Friday sales ended. The price surge in late November/December timeframe is at fault of course - rekindled demand after a couple-three months of slump. |

Wow, at $3-4K per miner, that's going to take over a year ROI, especially with the difficulty going up each month. And if BTC keeps falling, it's going to take even longer! People been snatching up miners on ebay for over $4K because BTC was skyrocketing to $20K! Well, it's dropped a lot since it hit the high. Just last month the S9 was under $1500 & the A741 was under $1K and BTC was over $8K; so people buying new miners then could still make over 200% ROI in a year even after deducting power costs. Now that's all changed with the miners doubling and tripling in price and BTC falling. So people are going to reassess whether it's still profitable to buy a miner or not. Though you'll still get that 1 in 10 who'll buy at the high end and at any price!  That's why the companies selling the picks and shovels for digital gold are making out like bandits; just as the people who sold them to the miners back then in the 1850s gold rush.  And jeans - that's where Levi Strauss made HIS name and initial bundle. |

The prelim specs I was given were 10TH for 1000w. I really wish that is what the final number would have been. People would have been able to run these easily on 110v at home.
The 821 can probably be downclocked to meet or come close to those numbers. |
