Look for coins that bring something to the table in the form of innovation or solve a problem and have the development team to implement the roadmap they set for the project. Good communication and marketing is also very important for a project to succeed long term.

Hi everybody. Anyone can explain me, how can I set up Bitcoin Gold mining? I want to start mining it since the first minute it comes out, so the software and everything else should be ready. Is there any instruction how to set up everything?
Just keep your equihash miner ready and as soon as the fork is released on October 25th, point your miner to a Bitcoin Gold pool. That's pretty much it. Moreover, you don't have to look for a new Bitcoin Gold address, if you have the private keys for your existing Bitcoin address, just start mining with that address and then import it to a supported BitcoinGold Wallet. My understanding is mining won't start until the fist week of November, if the fork goes smoothly and if the developers can get the switch to Equihash working in time. On October 25th, the fork will happen and the BTC blockchain will be frozen. You can claim your free coins on the new chain using your private key equivalent to the amount of BTC you had in your wallet at the time the fork happened after that. https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/15As of yet, replay protection isn't implemented, so the launch could also be postponed https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/18 |

In a mixed rig (AMD and NVidia) how does one use the mem and core clock and volt flags.
Namely since it is not supported for Nvidia, how do you specify the values for the AMD cards? Can any value be used in the Nvidia spots and be ignored? Can one not use the flags in this situation?
As stated in the README, the overclocking and voltage parameters aren't supported for Nvidia cards. If you want to mix cards on the same rig you can set the clocks using Afterburner or any overclocking tool before running the miner. They are not supported for NVidia cards, but they also support a card by card setup. Therefore can you setup only the AMD cards, leaving the Nvidia cards as they are? Afterburner will not set the voltages. You would need to run two instances of the miner using the -di parameter. One instance to index the AMD cards and a seperate instance for the Nvidia cards. Nvidia cards don't support voltage control. With Nvidia you can only adjust the power limit and clocks before running the miner. |

That 8-pin connector is what powers your CPU - IT IS REQUIRED NOT OPTIONAL.
According to the manual, you can also use a 4-pin CPU power connector. This motherboard provides an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector. To use a 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 5. |

ouch T_T. am i late. I order 6 gtx 1070 yesterday.. RIP
I would say no. I think we will definitely have some interesting times in Crypto in very short order. The marketcap of all Cryptos is at a combined all time high. BTC is on a tear and it doesn't look like it will stop any time soon. Wall Street is coming and Richard Heart is calling for 20K BTC by X-mas. If that happens, lots of Cryptos are going to look cheap in comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZtF3uOnjxQ |

According to whattomine.com with an average difficulty and profitability over the past 24 hours a single 1080Ti currently makes ~$2.50 on Nicehash and $3.07 mining ETH directly.

Yes BTG will use Equihash (same as ZEC), if the developers can successfully get it working in time for the fork. On Equihash RX 580's should get ~325 H/s with around a 1340 MHz core clock and 1950 MHz memory overclock. ETH uses Ethash. https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/pull/15 |

Just run the wallet in server mode by putting server=1 in the config file and point the miner to the same IP as the machine and rpc port running the wallet using the rpcuser and rpcpassword you set in the wallet conf file. You also want to limit the connections to IP's from your LAN by setting the rpcallowip and rpcconnect. e.g. gen=0
server=1
daemon=1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcport=4560
port=4561
rpcuser=coinrpcuser
rpcpassword=TRYUmmVr781Gv42y |

I do plan to expand to the motherboards maximum potential at some point and I was looking at some of those 2400w server PSU. I'm still just getting my foot in the door at this point though. I likely will not be dual mining initially.
A 2400W would be able to run at least 10-11 card dual mining. The problem with the Asus B250 mining mothrboard is the PCI-E slots are divided in three groups, one of seven PCI-E slots and the other two with six. Each group has their own power supply 24-pin input, so with that motherboard it may be more efficient to use a 1200-1300W PSU for each of the PCI-E groups. |

It depends if you will dual mine and if you plan on expanding. If you don't dual mine, you can get by with a EVGA G2/P2 1200W or 1300W. If you want to dual mine, for 7 cards I would recommend at least a 1600W or a dual PSU setup, which is made easy with that motherboard since it has 3 ATX 24-pin connectors. If you have a 240V outlet you can also look in to using a server PSU, but keep in mind they are much louder than ATX PSU's.

The H110 chipset only supports 6 native PCI-E lanes. The rest of the slots are through a PCI-E expansion chip, which at 13 is already pushing the limits of the chipset.  |

thanks vann.
Is it normal for cards to reach 80C+ at stock bios and default clock/mem speed/voltage mining eth?
I think there is something wrong with the cooling system of this particular card.
I don't have any Gigabyte cards, but the stock core clocks are definitely too high for mining. To optimally run the cards when mining you need to also change the core/memory clocks frequencies. That combined with an undervolt and power limit adjustment will increase the hash rate while lowering the power consumption, making the cards run more efficiently and at a lower temperature. |

I have MSI RX 580 8G with hynix MJR memory.
Best stripe that gives me about 29M eth speed is:
777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17
Any tips to improve this stripe? Or other stripe for hynix MJR 8Gb?
Timings from stock vbios:
1625 - 999000000000000022449D00105A7B4480551312B88C250B004C0401750514204A8900A00200712 417112E34B22A3916
1750 - 999000000000000022559D0031627C4990551313BC0D060C004C04017D0714204A8900A00200712 419123138C02D3D17
2000 - BBB000000000000022889D0073EE8D53A055151743CFB60D004E24010E0A14204A8900A00300712 41C143840DB324418
2250 - BBB000000000000033BB9D00D6FEAF5EC05517174BD1770F005264011E0E14204A8900A00300712 420173F48F7384C1A
This any combinations of stock timings (1625 to 1750+, 1750 to 2000+ and 2000 to 2250) gives maximum 25-26М eth speed.
The 777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17 is the same strap bundled with PBE v1.6.2 from jaschaknack. I have the same card and it has dual timing straps. The 1: straps are K4G80325FB (SAMSUNG) timings and the 2: straps are H5GQ8H24MJ (HYNIX_2) timings. Using the PBE 'one click timing patch' with 1150 MHz core clock and 2100 MHz memory clock I get 29.5-30 MH/s. https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor |

BBT did a review on the Manli nVidia P106-090 3GB mining cards. In the live stream he did, he could only get the cards working with the Windows driver and overclocking tool downloaded from Manli website. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzuSwO6I_oA&feature=youtu.be&t=61None of the Linux based OS detected the cards. Including ethOS, smOS and PIMP. |

You need to use a monitor or dummy plug in the primary VGA for the AMD driver to be able to read and set the fan speed and temperature.

I've used Asrock H81 boards without molex. However, the manual for H110 makes it sound like total meltdown if you don't use molex. Thought, maybe, since it's 13 GPUs, it might be different. Thanks for the info! Thanks! Where is the "power check" in the bios? What's is called? Also, per the manual, and because it's 13 gpu's, it says these molex must be plugged in. I have to believe it's for a reason since this is a "mining" board, and ASrock is well aware of powered risers, no? Are you using this board now? Is the "power check" option in the bios something different? Where can I find it specifically? You don't need to use the motherboard molex PCI-E supplemental power when using all powered risers. You do need to disable the power check in the Bios or you will get a warning message at Post.
the reason is if you dont use powerered risers than you can connect the onoard molex and still have enough power. if you look at the manual you can read that these molex supply extra power to pci slots I think they have the warning because the riser kits ASRock sells provide +12V power through a cable connected to the PCI-E slots. In that case, you definitely need to use the PCI-E supplemental power connectors on the motherboard. http://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/card.asp?Model=BTC+PRO+KitUSB powered risers supply +12V power directly from the PSU and there is only a small +3.3V current coming from the PCI-E slot through the USB cable to the riser. That's why ASRock lets you disable the warning, though they should make more clear when you need to use the PCI-E supplemental power connectors. nice riser kit, i like  and yeah, those would need the molex connected The ASRock riser kit came out when ribbon risers were popular. I'm not sure the ASRock kit is better than using USB risers. The USB 6-pin risers have four capacitors for a stable current flow and a voltage regulator to prevent spikes, which the ASRock risers don't have. It's also questionable if providing power from the PCI-E slots for 13 cards through the motherboard is a good idea. The ASRock riser kit is expensive at $30 each too. |
