Guys can you guys clarify if what are hardware could mine bitcoin cash could i mine bitcoin cash with antminer s9?
Or Do i need graphics card to mine bitcoin cash.. Just wanted to know if ever i buy avalon 7 or antminer s9 or building a gpu mining rig.
Its a SHA-256 Algo same with BTC so you should go with ASICS, and GPU mining will be useless, just point your antminer to BCH pools and you're to go. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059669.0 |

have you done modding correctly? what steps did you follow? seems like a bad strap timings to me, check your GPU's type of memory if its Samsung try ubermix settings and reflash, follow these guides. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0try to adjust settings in after burner after modding bios. |

Hey there,
You need to post this in the alt coin section. This is just for bitcoin hardware; and you can't mine bitcoin with gpu
They call it bitcoin mining but it's really just altcoin mining and conversion to btc, that got me confused  Don't be confused, BTC mining is also converted to Alts  Its just a one way or another Hey guys,
i'm building a rig for the first time. I have 3 1080's and 3 1070 ti's, how do I figure out what I need as far as a power supply? I have an EVGA GOLD 1000W on the way. Also, does it make a difference if I will be hooking up to 240?
thanks
1000PSU will run however you might underclock your settings, 1080 will draw 180-200w of power while 1070ti 130-140w and you could have 900w plus at the minimum plus your systems power draw. |

Sorry if this is wrong place. I couldn't find any gpu subforum under altcoins  Can't delete this post so hoping i mod will fix my mistake  I have a rig of 5 rx 570 nitro+ 8Gb cards that i have bios moded with polaris editor. 2 of them are stable at a hashrate of 23.3Mh while the other 3 sometimes run on 21Mh, jumps in voltage and eventually crash to 0Mh, it can take 30min to several hours. core 1340 mem 2150 Running them on stock clocks is 20.5Mh and seems to be working fine (going on 3rd hour) On my nvidia rig mem clock was king gaining 5mh overclock, but on the amd rig mem clock gain only 0.5Mh while core clock gains 2.3Mh Bios mod, lower voltages and clocks they said... leaving me confused as that only lowers my hashrate on amd cards my good old r9 290 4Gb did 31Mh (core +100 mem +450-500) not that long ago, my 1070's does 31Mh now. Im using Ethos on my rigs What in the heck am i doing wrong with these amd cards?  you might missed or messed up with modding Bios, have you followed exactly the procedure and suggested straps? there were also the one touch feature on those modding apps and might be useful to you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1882656.new#newhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0 |

Oh Boy, I'm starting to ask myself if I'm really Lazy, Lol Can't help, why do I end up using nicehash over other pools? Hmmmnnn.. One thing I know, I do realized, I get more profit, How did I do it? its a secret, lol, and ohh, BTC reached an all time high.. that's how it is.. btw.. I don't mine ETH for a month now Your "secret" of autoconverting to BTC doesn't mean you got more just because BTC is high now. On the other hand if you had waited with selling alts for BTC... you could have made much more. I haven't mined Eth since last July. There is/was always something much more profitable you just have spend the time looking for them. So yeah, nicehash basically offers plug and play levels of ease of use at a pretty high convenience fee. Which, as jmigdlc99 said doesn't make much sense because most people are here for the ROI which it takes a huge bite out of. Don't get me wrong dude, I don't use nicehash miner, I just used their pools, I have already done my calculations and it turn out that I do take more profits from it than holding alts and trade, its just suit in my requirement I guess. |

You may look at your task manager to check your cpu, memory, hdd utilization, you may find application or processes that may caused it, you may also kill those unwanted process if there's any
Yeah, i already did that, the only thing that works is killing the miner task. Try to Limit the CPU usage of miner .exe, I guess it does not affect the mining performance when you do this. https://www.technorms.com/46600/regulate-cpu-usage-in-windows-10 |

Hello Guys,
I want to go mining with ELLAISM coin, I need your help to setup my GTX 1080,
Can anyone share the configuration to connect with the server.
Thanks
This is an Ethash Algo, same configuration with Ethereum ETH and ETC, you may use the pool below for mining. https://ellaism.org/mining/that coin is worth a try I guess, might be helpful if you let us know if this is profitable. |

Guys i have a problem with the miner and cant figure what is causing it exactly.
On my personal PC i have one nvidia 1070 for testing purposes. When i run Claymore Miner there, the whole computer start to work really slow.
The mining is fine, there is no problem there, but i can barely use the computer for anything else.
Its Windows 7 pro 64 bit, i7 2500k, 16 gb ram and SSD samsung 840 pro. Its a pretty decent computer.
On all of my rigs which have the cheapest processors possible, running Claymore's Miner is not problem for the computer. It's not noticeable at all.
You can browse the internet or whatever. The have Windows 10 pro 64 bit.
So tell me what you think, is this the OS difference thing? Or is it something else?
Please help!
You may look at your task manager to check your cpu, memory, hdd utilization, you may find application or processes that may caused it, you may also kill those unwanted process if there's any I have 3 AMD GPUs and for some reason i only get half speed on my 3rd GPU.
Anybody have this issue ?
Ive tried different motherboard windows 7 pro 64bit.
check the other GPU if has high temps? is this a modded? you may check also your risers |

Hi guys,
I`m new to mining, been reading a lot lately to get understanding how it works. I have spare money to invest, looking to build a rig. But my problem is - AMD or nvidia GPU`s? As per current pricing/availability looking at 1060 or RX580 cards - about 15 in total. Why these? To me they look best price/performance/payback time ratio. I guess you've done some part of your reading assignments Which GPU is able to mine wider range of coins? As coin I`m mining increases in difficulty, I would like to switch to other one. But apparently some coins are mined much better on AMD, some on nvidia. Dilemma.
Thanks
Nvidia could be a plus when it comes to wide range of coin mining, however it may seems so pricey compared to AMD. as what other suggested, you may get both, its a wise choice for me as you may consider or foreseen future difficulties, you still have your trump cards waiting for you just in case you may need to switch coins. |

Hello.
Got question.
If i have 1080ti which is connected with 2x 8pin is it going to draw any power from pci (riser) ?
At 100%tdp card draw 250W, 2x8pin should provide up to 300W. So should i leave at least 50W per riser?
My rig is connected like this
PSU 750W powering:
-mobo (cpu, ssd, 6risers)
-2x 1080ti
PSU 1200W
-4x 1080ti
Everything is good, Rig is running undervolted anyways
I have been trying different connections, gpu+riser per psu also, all have been working fine for me
But if i want to run mobo+risers from first psu, and gpu's from second psu, should i always leave that 50-75w free per riser?
Better to properly distribute all GPU and Riser power based on your PSU ratings, 75w for riser is fine by looking at your build seems your PSU could really handle your setup, there is only one thing I've noticed as you put all your 6 powered risers in 750w psu and might stressed out, its just a precaution |

There are a lot of reasons getting into this problem, but basically just pay attention to the error code appeared, Try to disable motherboard hardware that are using PCIe lanes such as Audio, USB etc. Some users were able solved it here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2307023.0;all |

Thanks for your insights.
Yes it can mine all coins. But those hash rates are just benchmarks. If you are thinking it can mine all 4 coins at the same time then no, you are mistaken. It can mine all coins but not at the same time. It will mine some less profitably than the other (because NVIDIA excels at mining certain coins while AMD excels at others). Basically but you will still have to select which one of those coins you will be specifically mining, by downloading a specific miner. ETH = claymore's miner ZCASH = EWBF's miner XMR = XMR-STAK miner Guys, mining those coins at the same time is possible, by running multiple instance and Using -di options of Claymore and EWBF's --cuda_devices options, you could possibly specify each GPU's what coins to be mined and of course I don't recommend it personally, why the heck maintaining different kinds of pools, coins and miners in a single rig, why don't you just choose a single coins the most profitable to mine. |

I can download "Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pasca...v10.1 - Catalyst 15.12-17.x - CUDA 8.0_7.5_6.5.zip" from google drive without any issues, but my Windows Defender deletes "Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pasca...v10.2 - Catalyst 15.12-17.x - CUDA 8.0_7.5_6.5.zip" as soon as it is downloaded with "This file contained a virus and was deleted".
What is different in v10.2 that causes this issue?
It's normal, some AV's and windows defender included will detect this as virus, just look at your windows settings and firewall to exclude the claymore exe or the entire directory for exemptions. I understand that, but I could download v10.1 Zip file without any issue and then UnZip and add executable to the exception list of the Windows Defender. While the v10.2 Zip file is deleted right after it is downloaded, and I do not have a chance to even UnZip it. So, my question is what is different in the current v10.2 version that causes this issue? Just turn off your windows defender in settings, that should solve your problem. |

Driver Alone can't reached the 29-30mhs hashrate, you need to mod your GPU's in order to achieve this, a lot of guides out there, example below posted by Mattthev. you have to at least checked what type of memory you had and proper timings. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0 |

use search function in this forum...fucking lazy retard
That's harsh but deserved. Low hashrates only 19,6 MH/s per card.
AMD Polaris cards require at least flashing the BIOS with tighter memory timings. And also some undervolting is highly recommended. Otherwise you're not gonna get much more than 20-22 MH/s. Plenty of guides out there, including this very forum. Lol, couldn't help but laughing, alright lets go on helping the newbie guy Here's the guide how to mod your GPU's https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0And read here for the overclocking guide to SMOS https://simplemining.net/ |

v10.2:
- fixed critical issues in remote management feature (attacker could crash miner even in read-only mode).
- now miner supports up to #299 epoch.
- in rare cases ADL API calls can hang, now watchdog checks it as well.
- improved "-minspeed" option, check readme for details.
- added "miner_getstat2" command to remote management, check "API.txt" for details.
- EthMan: added detailed stats mode in main window.
- a few minor improvements in both miner and EthMan.

Congratulations, I think you've done well, check for your power consumption, if you're not happy with it you can lower your voltages however it may also lower your hashrate a bit, its your choice.

Yep, and also you could make use of the driver on your previous OS, that should also work. |
