1301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Electroneum mining mac not working? on: December 19, 2017, 05:40:41 PM
The OP is probably talking about using the electroneum CLI wallet mining feature. The monero wallet has this built-in feature where you can start mining to your wallet address by typing a command. The problem is, this wallet feature does not allow you to specify pools (AFAIK, or at least with basic configuration skills) so basically you are solo mining the blockchain. This will take years and really appear like its not working. Better to get some dedicated GPUs.

He shouldn't be doing it that way then.  He needs to be setting his wallet address in the config of the miner.

Not sure if I've posted in this thread... but I've bought almost all of my 1070 Ti cards from here:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/

If you watch daily and check the limits you can often find cards without QTY limits (or a fairly high limit)... I've snagged a few batches of 9 cards at once.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1369521-REG/zotac_zt_p10710c_10p_geforce_gtx_1070_ti.html

For example... limit of 11 pcs on this card right now.

I've ordered things from B&H before.  Good US based company.  No sales tax for me.  Wish my six Vega 56's that have been on backorder since Nov 29th would ship.  Ordered a few EVGA SC 1070ti's from Amazon and a few from B&H today.  None of them are in stock though.  Who knows how long of a wait it will be for those.  I only have one six gpu vega 56 rig running right now ... Need more rigs!

Thanks for all of your videos Vosk!  You've been a big help over the past couple of months.

Do you confirm this in the CLI file? What command is this?

No.  Use the etn blockchain exp website to confirm that the pool actually paid you.  If you find that the transaction is there, then move to the wallet and figure out what you're doing wrong.  But start from the beginning.  First make sure you've been paid.  If the payout transaction isn't in the blockchain, your problem isn't the wallet.
1304  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Designing a 6 GPU enclosure on: December 19, 2017, 02:50:40 PM
Your design looks very cool!
For me, I just made it simple, the open frame costs about 25$ only:




Where can you get one of those for $25?  Or where do you get the materials to build it?

Could have told you that when you asked the first time.  It's just not a wise idea.  There are plenty of better, safer, and less costly ways of buying btc.
1306  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Profitable these days? on: December 19, 2017, 02:49:46 AM
Mining is pointless right now cause volta is just 2 or 3 months away and volta will blow everything away, plus compared to holding mining is not as much as profitable cause few months ago if you bought eth or zec then now it increased almost 200% and mining would give you just 10% plus all the trouble. The only winners right now is holders, miners and sellers are losers.

Buy eth and hold and enjoy profit doing nothing cause i think eth will jump to $2100 soon, that will be easy 200% profit.

200%?  You mean 800% don't you?  We all see it ... Those Voltas are going to be bought up by China and you'll have to pay 300USD in fees every month to China just to mine.  It's getting crazy out there.  

It would be better to mine coal right now.

Honestly though ... Nothing that NVIDIA will ever put out will be as good as AMD.  NVIDIA is more for the gamer, not the miner. 
1307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hello, Any Alternatives to NiceHash? on: December 19, 2017, 02:38:36 AM
here is the alternative - don't be lazy!

They aren't all lazy.  Some of them are just stupid.  How can you blame someone for trying to make a buck with such a low IQ? Lol ...

Seriously guys ... If you're not stupid, please don't be willingly lazy.  The only place it gets you is poor. ... Poor and Stupid.  And lazy.  Do you really want to be poor, stupid, and lazy for the rest of your life? 
1308  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hello, Any Alternatives to NiceHash? on: December 19, 2017, 02:31:47 AM
I really cannot believe the number of people waiting for Nicehash to return so they can give them a second chance to scam some more free BTC.

At this point in the game mining itself doesn't even make sense much less wanting to use a scammy pool such as Nicehash to do it. All those people who invested thousands in mining rigs or mining contracts over the past few months would have been way better off buying and holding pretty much any coin directly.

While all the Nicehash miners are now looking at even longer ROI time-frames, everyone else is making money hand over fist. A hypothetical $2,500 invested 3-4 months ago directly in Bitcoin would be now worth $19,000, while that same $2,500 put into a mining rig someone bought during the same time is still working on its ROI.

I cannot believe the number of people still waiting for NH to return that still haven't decided to broaden their horizons and learn to mine singles.  I mean we're talking nearly two weeks now and rigs are just being left there to sit not doing anything?  Maybe it's just the one gpu miners/hash power sellers, who knows.  I've said this in other posts and I'll say it again.  My first 6 gpu rig was built and running less than 12 hours before the NH hack.  It was a blessing for me.  It forced me to go off and learn to do it the hard way.  And now as I'm looking back, the more profitable way.  I can't even begin to thank all of the people around this forum who convinced me that NH was not the way to go.  Because honestly ... A few weeks ago, I really believed that I would make more money using NH than I would mining singles in the long run.

This is a thank you topic in itself, but thank you to everyone who I thought was being an asshole or those who just responded with "whattomine.com" ... Lol ... I wouldn't know what I know today, if it wasn't for you!  I do hope this is an inspiration to the OP.  All you have to do is go look.

On another note ... Yes ... If you put 10K in btc when it was traded at 1K, the value of your portfolio today would be roughly 180-190K.  That would have been speculation, a bet, a gamble, timing the market, an investment or whatever you'd like to call it, based on what you thought one currency could have or will become.  Has nothing to do with mining.  I would not have and still would not place a 10K bet on one coin, but I will invest 10K+ into mining and dollar cost average my way into multiple currencies after ROI.

Did you confirm your pool payout with the blockchain explorer?  I would start there.

I don’t see a tx id?? Is it in the email I received? I see a reference code. I see it says funds will be avalible December 21. Wtf

I don't know what e-mail you've got.
Make tickets on the services you've been using, ask them what is going on.
And if they blame Bitcoin network tell them that they should put together more transactions to optimize fees.

You can also ask in the services' threads for help, although ticket use to be the best and most personalized way.
its from Coinbase saying I purchased x amount of dollars for ETH has started. Your funds will be available December21st 2017. Then there’s a reference code and my form of payment are used to withdraw money to the account. It tells me what price I purchased the ETH at and what the ETH is worth at that price I purchased

When did you do this?  A bank transfer from a US bank to Coinbase takes 2-4 business days.  From my own personal experience, it usually takes 4-5 business days.  It's free, but it's not instant.
The first transaction was dec 16th. And the second one was on dec 13th which I bought ETH

That is not possible.  The first transaction had to have been December 13, because 12/13/2017 is before 12/16/2017.  Count the number of business days from the 13th until now.  That's like three business days.  You have not given it enough time.  Your transaction from the 16th should show up by the 21st or 22nd.

Six Vega 56's.  1900 h/s per card. 0.6% pool fee.  0.10 KWH.  Check the average price of XMR over the past month and do the math.  Of course there are some trading fees in there if you're trying to get to USD, but they are minimal.
1313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Some questions about hardware and my budget on: December 18, 2017, 12:42:05 AM
If you can get your hands on a Vega, I'd mine XMR with it.  You can also look at ETN, but I'm very happy with what my Vega 56's are doing with XMR right now.  I haven't looked into ETH with a Vega.  I thought I saw some stats that were not as good as XMR somewhere.
1314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Good alt coin to mine on: December 17, 2017, 11:22:42 PM
Sex coin and pot coin are both at the very very top of my list.  Why?  Because what is better than sex and weed?
1315  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Memory - 4GB or 8GB? on: December 17, 2017, 09:48:30 PM
Are you talking about GPU Memory or Motherboard Memory?  I assume you mean GPU since you mentioned the 11GB figure.  I wouldn't be buying video cards with 4gb of memory on them right now.  The more the better, but I'd go with the 8GB cards.  I don't have any experience with 11GB cards, but I assume they would boost mining performance that much more.
1316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How start Mining? on: December 17, 2017, 09:45:23 PM
Start reading and then come back to ask specific questions about things you are still not sure of.
1317  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Monero Mining | Any suggestions about hardware? on: December 17, 2017, 05:42:20 PM
Fully modular means all of the cables can be disconnected from the psu.  They are more expensive.  Semi-modular (at least on evga's) mean that the motherboard power is hardwired into the psu, but all other cables are snap in.  I don't see a benefit in using fully modular, because the motherboard power has to be there no matter what.  Having it hardwired doesn't create additonal cable management hassle.

If you go with a psu that everthing is hardwired, that creates cable management hassle (extra cables hanging around that aren't being used), because you won't be using every single one of them.
1318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Profitable these days? on: December 17, 2017, 01:07:57 AM
nope

lol Grin Grin

Seriously, head to whattomine.com and you'll find if mining is profitable for your setup or not
Be serious yourself : whatmine is completely false mathematics and the revenues are all overpriced.

Honestly, every mining calculator that I've ever used has been on the low end when predicting profitability, but that's just my experience thus far.  Probably because everything has just been going up these days.  Numbers change, if XMR drops 25% tomorrow, the number you calculate in profitability tonight isn't accurate tomorrow.  The average is what matters.  The average for your rig.  Over a week, over two weeks, over a month.  Keep track of the stats and you'll be able to tell yourself how much money each card in your rig made per day over a period of time that you choose.

If you know your rig's energy usage stats (and you should) and know what you pay for energy (and you should), you can easily calculate that part by hand.
1319  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Monero Mining | Any suggestions about hardware? on: December 16, 2017, 11:58:16 PM
To be honest, I wouldn't touch either one of them.
Get a propper server PSU or a power supply from a well known brand ( EVGA, Seasonic, Corsair,...) .
Remember, PSU is the thing that "feeds" your rig. Do not cheap out with it!

Yikes ... I wouldn't touch either one of those either.  Two 850W or 1000W EVGA Gold's will make you sleep better at night.

Oh and go with semi modular.  Paying extra for fully modular is a total waste of money, in my opinion.  The cable that goes to your board has to be there no matter what, so why do you care if it's permanently attached to the psu or not?
1320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Monero Mining | Any suggestions about hardware? on: December 16, 2017, 11:55:32 PM
Just curious where you plan to buy these 6 vega 64 Smiley I'm looking for them for few weeks already. Of cause i'm not buying 1400$ a piece.

He's not going to find them at a decent price anywhere right now ... Lol.  I bought (6) Vega 56's on November 26th for $525 each.  I bought (6) more on November 29th for $550 each and that second batch is still on backorder over two weeks later.  Pissing me off, because I want to get my second rig up and running.
