Antminer ASICs - no, they do one thing only.
GPUs - definitely, they are PC hardware.

Claymore has not updated his Sia code to handle the new algorithm changes. Decred, LBRY and Pascal are all dominated by ASICs, thus there is no point in doing dual mining.
How about Verge?!? <gets coat> |

You can mine more profitable coin, exchange it on ethereum and hold this way, you will get absolutely more ethereum compared to eth mining.
People always say this. It may well be true, but make sure you account for initial pool fees, transfer from more profitable shitcoinX wallet to exchange fees, exchange commission and withdraw fees. You'll need to research your new coin and algo, find the best wallet option (balancing risk of webwallets vs downloading an entire blockchain to your desktop), and then spend hours on several exchanges working out which pairs offer the optimum volume and yield. Also you'll potentially need to tweak the bios mods you've done for the new algo, as well as experiment with driver/miner/bios combos to find the most stable setup. In short, once you've done the maths you'll find only a few pennies a week difference, and that's only before every other **** does the same thing and shitcoinX difficulty rockets. |

Theres a tiny little switch on xfx 580's right up by the 8 pin power slot. One is gaming bios and the other is 'compute' (or mining bios).
Id be willing to bet you're mining on the gaming bios.
Definitely enable compute mode, check the switch in both positions, and bios mod if you can face it. You should be able to double that hashrate easily... |

Supposed to be secret information, surprised it hasn't been leaked yet.
Veruscoin (Verushash) and Mbtc (dmd-groestl) Not really, are you just guessing? Yeah, definitely a blind guess. Kinda c***y if he really did know 'secret' anyway. Loose lips sink ships.... |

well they cost close to double what you can get a 580 for , yeah power use is great an all but i can't see how its worth it at the current time. Especially as you need a very good motherboard cpu and ram which is not what
traditional rigs conist of so you would have to upgrade a bunch of parts.
It all depends on if the software is way better, say for x16 and phi
yeah if this were all it could do i would say its a fail. have to wait for the real miner with gpu acceleration to see if its worth it. PCIe lanes are the key, and how they are connected.. ones direct to cpu vs ones controlled by the chipset. the acorns and gpus need to be on one or the other, crossing can be a bottleneck. at least from what understand, which is admittedly not a whole lot. Going to try the nest x4 with 4x CLE-215+ on my TB250+ PRO with 6x 1080Ti. May just standalone mine on the acorns if I don't have the bandwidth to boost the gpus well.
from what ive heard, most boards made for mining are not going to do well as most slots (aside from slot 0 perhaps) wind up being x1 gen1. my onda d8p is in this class. with these boards there will be bottlenecks on some or all algos. probably depends on the acorn, card and algo. my gigabyte z97x should be able to handle two 215+ and two 1080ts all at x4 gen 3 direct on the mobo. so no bottleneck (I hope). maybe more with thhe nest2x and cards on risers but i want to stay away from risers right now. but lotta people will likely be doing new builds. It's still not clear what the optimum setup is, mainly because initial figures for boosting 1080ti and Vegas are pretty much 1:1 acorn to gpu, which would get very expensive for a 6-8gpu rig. That ratio will presumably change per algo, so when the miner software is released it'll be a bit clearer where the sweetspot is. Personally, I've just chucked a nest and two 215+ onto a standard crappy mining MB in the full x16 slot, see how that does before creating a bespoke rig... |

If these FPGA machines, which give 250 Mh/s with a consumption of 100 watts, are true, then Ether and other cryptocurrencies that are using Ethash algorithm can be quickly killed due to the centralization of the network in the hands of the holders of such devices.
This. Also, even if it's all true and they could ship it tomorrow, you'd still only gross 2.50 dollars a day before electric. That's a pretty slim promise for the potential risk of it all being highly imaginary. |

Indeed. Fascinating anatomy of a scam - create basic website, issue press release (pay for wire publication), then 'mention' on relevant Reddits and forums. Next step, take deposits, pre-orders, then...

https://store.mineority.io/Mineority couldn't make it. Sorry for anyone that signed with them. Squirrels, FPGA.land, Zetheron will be next. They are all connected. Anyone that hasn't got their refund for the 1525's, better hurry. They all are probably bleeding out. Too bad the little guys can't compete with Bitmain, etc. Check out the F1 FPGA miners. Clearly looks like Bitmain. 12 algos to choose from....not waiting on 1 dude to come out with a stream at double the price for a unit. "Clearly looks like Bitmain" - Because they're from China? |

Least they've delivered the hardware, on several fronts too (Acorns, nests, BCUs), unlike many projects (both crypto and non-crypto related).
The presentation and quality is way up there in comparison to standard PC/mining equipment, I have to say.
Hope the software is soon and as thoughtfully engineered...

Certainly a lot easier to buy than mine ETH at the moment. It's now about 1ETH per 2nd hand RX gpu, so ignoring electric costs, you'd need to spend about 15ETH to get 1ETH a month back.

You have like a dozen miners, what amount could you possibly be asking for ?
This was effectively my thought along with “and it is probably the seller’s miners”. And the scrypt miners are probably single usbs from the hashrate. Maybe one hub with multiple miner instances... Ingenious. |

Hullo folks, is there a powershell script or similar to automate the switch-radeon-gpu commands/overdriveN and run Cast? Many thanks in advance!
By the way, in case anyone is looking for this too, try fiddlefingers watchdog script from github. The one bit you'll need to change is to add devcon.exe to the mining folder, not win/sys/whatever as indicated... |

Or simpleminer, which is awesome. You'll wonder why you bothered with Windows at all! |

@astraleureka where to get some ASICs?
Dude. Research. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cryptomining+asicsTell you what though - in order to make any decent revenue, you'll need to invest 'quite a lot', and it's relatively 'high risk' overall... |

Yes you can set the Power ON after AC loss however I am pretty sure that a power outage will be very rare and your bigger issue is the system basically freezing to the point of needing a cold reboot.
If you are worried about this and your uncle can't do a cold power reboot you need to buy a USB device which will automatically reset the rig when it detects a hardware fault. I forgot the name but they are all over Aliexpress and eBay and some might even sell it on the Bitcointalk classifieds section.
yeah. I have some of the usb watchdogs you can have for peanuts if you PM me. TBH the smartplugs are a better, if more expensive option. Obviously you need to check the passthrough ratings on them! |

How is it based off of Claymore's miner if it's completely different miner code? Your statements are contradictory.
and what siacoin? are you saying you have the only siacoin gpu miner? that doesn't seem correct either.
Much of the wording is exactly the same as Claymore's too. What a proposal! |

Might be better off adding a fan yourself (see 3D printing discussion). Lots of people have made their own fan ducting out of cardboard as an interim measure, seems to work pretty well. |

What cards 🎴 have people tried for mining and what do they make.
'Best' depends on your definition. There are plenty of options out there, most without a good supply of bitstreams. Then there are multiple bitstreams that are not particularly profitable right this moment, but if you're looking for speculative mining they might be awesome. The most current generation are around the 6k mark per card, and no bitstreams as yet, so potentially quite a risk... |

Added new miner versions:- cryptodredge-v0.9.5-cuda9.1 - cryptodredge-v0.9.5-cuda9.2 - cryptodredge-v0.9.5-cuda10 @tytanick - do you think it's possible to have "night" version of the dashboard?
Something like Mojave i guess ?  Right now i do not have resources but i will think about that when we will have some spare time. Hahah - maybe a 'greenscreen' version eh... |
