Keep track of Nicehash-Equihash current profitability on WhatToMine.com. Lots of noobs renting hash to mine this shit coin and in a few hours, you will wish you had that profitability.

The problem with PSU's smaller than 750 W is they almost always don't have the PCI-E connectors or rail amperage you need to run multiple cards in a mining rig. BBT did a good presentation overview on PSU's for a mining rig. https://youtu.be/ZEedQT0oGYw?t=396Thanks. This video was quite good and was a useful reference. The problem I have is that the Vega 56 requires 2x8 pin power connectors, and it seems like the PSUs will quickly run out of connectors. Any advice on what I can do to avoid a tower of PSUs powering my Vega 56 rig? I currently have 2xVega 56 and they are being powered by the PSU powering the mobo as well, but I will have a problem when it comes to the third Vega... A dual PSU setup with an ATX 750 W for the motherboard and risers and a larger server PSU with a PCI-E breakout board is an option. Larger server PSU's are usually 240V only though and are too loud if it's going to be in a living space. https://www.parallelminer.com/product/2400-watt-power-supply-kit-for-gpu-mining-94-efficiency-200-240v-ethereum-eth-zec-dashI recently ordered one of these dual 120V 2400W PSU's for my ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ build and have been very happy with it. http://www.panto-tech.com/products/206-110v-260v-power-supply-2400W-for-miner.htmlIt has 18 PCI-E 6+2 connectors that I use for the GPU VGA power inputs. It runs quiet and very cool as long as it's not run it at more than 50% of the capacity. When you run it at more than that, the fans get progressively louder the more wattage you pull from it. Shipping via DHL direct from the manufacturer was very quick. Total cost through PayPal was $181 shipped and I got it in less than 4 days. The same manufacturer also has the same PSU with only the 18 PCI-E connectors and it's about $30 less, so I think that may be a better option for a dual PSU setup since I don't use the ATX 24-pin or sata/molex connectors on it. http://www.panto-tech.com/products/207-110v-220v-power-supply-2400W-for-miner.htmlBBT did a review of the PSU and has run it through various tests in his recent live streams and it's held up well. We'll see how it holds up long term, but for $150 shipped it's a good deal and solves the problem of not having enough PCI-E connectors for larger builds. https://youtu.be/ZY2ouRWHgT8?t=300 |

There is only one BTC that Wall Street will be investing in. You decide which one that will be.

I have a RX 480/580 dual PSU setup where the same PSU that powers the motherboard also powers all of the PCI-E 6-pin risers and the secondary PSU only powers the PCI-E supplemental power on the cards. Risers use between 40-50 W each. How much power is drawn from the PCI-E slot depends on the card. Some cards are configured to draw more from the slot than others. Lowering the power limit by 50% will definetly not lower the power draw from the riser by 50%.

The difficulty adjustment is to maintain a 10 minute block time and keep the mining subsidy issuance at a constant level. Adustment after every block makes it harder for large farms to to game the difficulty by coming in and out to fast mine the coin before the difficulty can retarget.

12.5 BTG every 10 minutes = 1800 BTG issued per day = 1800 x $400 = $720,000 in BTG subsidy per day
Compared with ZEC:
10 ZEC every 2.5 minutes = 5760 ZEC per day = 5760 x $250 = $1,440,000 in ZEC subsidy per day
The only one's guaranteed to make money of this BTG scam are the Dev's with their 100,000 BTG premine, pool operators, and NiceHash. All while you fight over crumbs with all the other plebs. You will be better off mining on NiceHash since there will be plenty of noobs stupid enough to buy Equihash hash to mine this shit coin.

Today volume on BTG is more than 35m $, so premine is not problem at all  BTG can be very good coin if devs work job like they supose to do. Coin can have very good future. It could also be a premined shit coin with the devs looking to capitalize off forking BTC. The volume should make it easier for the devs to cash in. Keep an eye on the premine address |

Then just stick to a coin that has good, stable profitability for Nvidia, like ZEC. The difference between mining that and another coin that 'may' be more profitable that day is very likely to be pennies with a single 1070.

Make sure the riser is pushed in all the way. If the card works and the same riser works with other cards, then it should work.

Coin switching from daily profitability calculators is pointless with a single rig. WhatToMine only shows you what is currently the most profitable IF you were to sell the coins you already mined at that moment. The problem is by the time you are able to mine enough coins to cash out to an exchange, the profitability WILL have changed. If you just care about maximum current profitability, NiceHash is an easy and good option since they automatically do that calculation and switching for you. Another strategy is to accumulate coins and hold for the long term.

That server PSU is 240V only. Server PSU's are also made to run in an isolated server room and don't have any consideration to how loud they are. For a living space, you are better off with an ATX PSU.

The blockchain drivers work fine. The latest drivers should also work fine.

NiceHash only pays out in BTC, either to an external or internal BTC wallet address. BTC payout to an external wallet is once per week for external wallet unpaid balances, greater than 0.01 BTC and they charge a 4% fee per payout.

According to NiceHash, using a GEN 3 PCI-E lane can make a 1-2% difference in hash rate from the higher bandwidth, especially for some data transfer intensive algorithms. We also checked with GPU-Z and all cards were successfully detected and linked with PCI-e v3.0, which is another bonus compared to other motherboards that usually work with 6+ cards only under PCI-e v1.1. The higher bandwidth speed may not look like an important factor, but the slower link can take 1-2% off of card's performance, especially in algorithms that are sending a lot of data from/to CPU/GPU. https://www.nicehash.com/?p=news&id=155Wouldn't hurt to also do a clean install of the drivers after a DDU. If you move cards around, there are registry entries left in Device Manager that can cause problems. |
