Hi Guys and Gals,

A quick question. how can you see the wallet, -ewal and/or -dwal values in runtime?

"s" and other options at runtime do not give this info
also the Miner Manager does not show this...

Just to confirm your not giving it so someone else!!!  Shocked

Thanks


You can see it only at the startup miner or at the log files, you will notice this at the pool when you are giving your hashrate to someone else.
1362  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: how to know if my gpu can actually mine or not? on: October 27, 2017, 03:35:12 PM
Look at https://www.whattomine.com and if your card is listed there it should be able to assist you with an idea what your card can mine.  The information is out there which you can find through whattomine or through a search of google or this website. For future reference to help you get a better answer in this forum provide as much detail as you can.  What GPU, OS, CPU, PSU and RAM you are using.  The more information you provide the better an answer you will usually receive on the forum.  As always I would recommend whatever information you do receive make sure to do some of your own research especially when it comes to hashrates on cards.  With all the different brands and type there are many different ways to OC your cards to find what works best for you and your setting.

thx that actually helpful

Not all GPU's are listed in whattomine, you could also mine at AMD RX560, 7970, or GTX970 even AMD Vega's is not listed, if your GPU has above 3GB mem, you can possibly do mining with it,though it may not as profitable compared to high end cards
1363  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Give me please at least 10 reasons to invest in bitcoin on: October 27, 2017, 03:01:35 PM
My 10 reasons:

1. You coudn't resist the price
2. new disruption approach( Blockchain)
3. usable
4. transaction posted publicly
5. Anonymity
6. secured, encryption
7. fund transfer low fees
8. Coins generated has limit (High Demand)
9. Decentralized nodes
10. make profits

Of course it is still you who will decide.

Risk? its up also with you how to minimize it, or possibly mitigate it.
1364  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: alt/BTC profit ratio trend insights on: October 26, 2017, 03:54:47 PM
Hello,

I was thinking of expanding my mining rig by 7-8 times (I have around 1.2 Mh/s right now) however as soon as I saw this 2nd graph (https://hashco.ws/profits.html) I changed my mind instantaneously. Is this graph representative of the general picture (only 2.5-3 USD per Mh/s up to mid-november)?

The link you posted is broken, or it is not secure, my browser take it as a malicious site

Do you think the profit ratio/BTC of alt coins will be flat/increase/decrease within the next 12 months?


usually profit always decrease due to difficulty spikes, almost everyday a newbie or someone is trying to build a rig same as you.
1365  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Please suggest me a set up for etherum mining on: October 26, 2017, 03:43:01 PM
Hello everyone.

I will put 8000 usd for the set up of mining rig and i wish to mine etherum..can any body suggest me the set up for the mining of the same. And will 8000 usd be sufficient enough and if i do so then in how much time approx i can get back my capital.

Thanks

you must at least know what is difficulty means in mining, The setup will also depend on your rig plans and locations, I suggest have a read in other threads about mining farm stories they had, from there you will get an idea on the best setup you will do. your profit for mining is not constant, it will always fluctuate due to difficulty and might not be as profitable today for the coming months.

for the 8000$ capital, choose what type of GPU's you want to build, an AMD or NVIDIA.

here is an example of online calculator just to give you an idea how much you will earn minus the cost.

1366  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 990FXA-UD3 (only 3 GPU's working) on: October 26, 2017, 03:27:17 PM
It requires shorting of Pins, I haven't tried this yet, so its your own decision to take risk.

details:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36061.80

gigabyte 990xa-ud3

To get all 5 cards working, the middle x16 slot needs to be shorted. All other slots work without any shorting at all.

If you short out pin A1 and B17 on the x16 slot the motherboard will not power on. You MUST short out pin A1 and B81 - B81 is the second to last pin at the very end of the slot.

Next Question is... Will i need any more power? I can grab a 750W from my local pc world if needs be, Not sure how much juice 4 cards and the MOBO will require.

Another question is will i need any special cables for any of the bits? i believe the PSU comes with 6-8 cables for connecting the cards but they have not been delivered yet so i do not know for sure.

Thanks guys!

1300w power is Fairly enough for the 4 TI's, However, I guess you're short on cables, as the psu only has 6x 8pins(6+2) and 2x 6Pins.

basically you still need this in order to power them all.

Thanks Leonix! Smiley

So i will need 4 of these to run from the PSU to the GPU correct?

This is all very new to me, yet very exciting, Love new projects very eager to get running before BTG is minable.

Yep, there are still challenges ahead of it, we are only talking about hardware here, prepare for the software side.

Goodluck!

New to mine, just bought a new computer, Windows 7 + GTX 1070 + I7

Please advise how to setup the minner to get best result Huh

I use CCminer, , any parameters need to add in the run.bat file to get high hashrate ??

welcome to the mining world, this might be a good read for your build.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2054800.0

you can also do mining with your i7 cpu, together with GPU mining, not that much profit but at least it has been utilize rather that idled and make some cents.

Inside the EthDcrMiner64.exe there is the admin password request there is no version without that?

It is an executable file that needs a user admin privilege, just ensure the windows user profile account belongs to administrator groups

So i need to to set bios to factory so that it can pass signature check?

You need to patch the video drivers. Get the bios signature patcher here: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

Just to check if I understand it correctly. I need to install driver then patch the driver with signature patcher from that link. Does that patcher work for every driver? Mainly I want to get AMD Blockchain Workloads driver to work.


patcher is needed when you mod your GPU bios. otherwise, you don't need it.

@alumar

Could you guys try and get your hands on the Colorful C.B250A-BTC PLUS V20

I am sure alot of us are really hyped for it!  no risers and 8 gpus support.  Grin


What a monster, lol. So I guess this is "build yourself a Panda miner". Any information on pricing?


Havent seen any pricing on the unit yet,  Hopefully it will be a decent price for us.

seems a decent price from the chinese products, however I am not pretty sure how reliable it is.

1372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help configuring miner to run more than 5 GPU's on: October 26, 2017, 02:39:07 AM
When you say "will not mine" can you described what is happening? Is it windows that is crashing? your miner?

I should not say will not mine. What it does is that the Monitor constantly flickers on and off. When it did finally stay on I opened nice hash and ran the benchmark which froze on GPU 2 every time also locking up the computer. I had to power the PSU on and off to restart.

One possibility is that your PSU cannot handle the wattage of 6 x 1070s.
Give a 1070 consumer around 125watts, 6*125=750watts, make sure your PSU can handle at the very least 850 watts (+100 for CPU and other components).
Also factor in the fact that you should never use max load on a PSU.

Do you have a 1000w PSU?

I am running a 1200 watt power Supply.

I should not say will not mine. What it does is that the Monitor constantly flickers on and off. When it did finally stay on I opened nice hash and ran the benchmark which froze on GPU 2 every time also locking up the computer. I had to power the PSU on and off to restart.

Thankyou

having time to take a glance with your motherboard seems that it has a 2 x PCI-E 12V 4Pin Connectors

http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=865

Did you supply power on these two pins?

Check your PC Utilization, you can see which processes eats up your CPU and memory resources, try to install 1 GPU first and observe, if successful and seems fine, then add the GPU's one at a time.
1374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Can We Make Sure Bitcoin Never Ends? on: October 25, 2017, 02:49:07 PM
The Banks opinion on Bitcoin means nothing to us, because they are always biased. Bitcoin is their direct competition and the stronger Bitcoin becomes, the more money they will lose. For every transaction that are done with Bitcoin and not via some Bank, they lose money in the form of fees.

Bitcoin will push on, if there is a need from people to use it. We should find ways to promote the advantages to people to continue using it over other alternatives. ^hmmmmm^

Hard to accept the fact that they are being disrupted by a virtual currency, powered by the people,  I wonder how much loss they've gone thru this year when bitcoin became famous due to price increase, even so funny comparing bitcoin technology into Tulip flower.

1375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 19GPUs working in Windows (confirmed) on: October 24, 2017, 11:36:19 PM
I don't understand why such complexity. First, it is expensive. Secondly problems with the software. Thirdly, and this is in my opinion the most important thing this setup in case of failure will bring the owner great lost profit. 19 the GPU is 3 racks. If the problem will be with one the two others are profitable. You don't store all coins in one wallet.

They try to bring down costs of other parts for such rig, like PSU,SSD, RAM and PROCESSOR costs will surely be less when having only 1 motherboard running 19 GPU-s at once compared that when you build 3 motherboards with 6 cards each.

Troubleshooting is the same as with a rig with 6 cards in terms of steps but of course here it is much more time consuming and that is a minus.

not to mention the centralized failure, if something has failed in the rig, all 19gpu's will also fails, imagine the number of GPU's being idled while doing the fix. clock is ticking, profit is tumbling.
1376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need help please (Second card speed dropped 4x). on: October 24, 2017, 09:52:42 AM
OK - I am new to mining (too late., huh)? Well...shoot!
I first tried my ASUS 970 on another motherbord and got about 12 Mh/s. Then I moved this card to my main PC, with an ASUS 1080Ti (avg about 32 Mh/s).
Non I barely see 3 Mh/s on the 970.

Anyone can tell me why?

Running windows 10, (1703), Latest Nvidia drivers, I also installed Cuda (V10) - not sure what this will do (did not make a difference).

Any ideas?

Thanks

try to Install MSI afterburner then tweak the clocks

https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

970 and 1080ti is good at Equihash, better try them out.

I have a problem. I have a 6x rig with Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB, using Win10 and the mining driver. GPU0 have 30,5 MH/s and the other 5 cards run at 28 MH/s. I using a start.bat, wich executed (with the highest privileges) by the task planer from win10. It works with 780W from the wall. Why does GPU0 run faster than the others?

Could it be that the clocks differ on the other cards, and the 1 GPU hits your config.


Quote
I tried to start the start.bat manually via remote desktop and run as an administrator and get all cards at 30,5 MH/s. Clocks are always the same, but the power consumption raise up to 980W from the wall (-cvddc and -mvddc doesnt work).

What can i do?  

it is imperative in Claymore that the more hashrate the more power consumption occur. so I guess this is normal

I am a newbie in Bitcoin Forum.I know some of the most important uses of Bitcoin.They are:
1.You can buy a flight ticket.
2.You can rent a hotel room.
3.you can buy pizza and other food related goods.
4.You can use it as a investment vehicle because bitcoin will continue to grow in value.

I want to know other important uses of it.


Transfer funds to any part of the world (of course it refers to a location with technology) with less fees, secured, no hassles or waiting time to clear on Blah blah.. ability to have your own wallets, ability to share workers on mining and earn rewards. aside from what you've said above.

Hi guyz, I've just started mining with my gigabyte gtx 1060 6gb . I wonder if it is safe to run it on +100 core clock, +700 memory clock, 65% fan speed, 70% power limit, at 60 degree celsius. Atm im working with nicehash, because it's so easy to understand. Please tell me what is more optimal configuration for this gpu, will current oc decrease its lifespan?

By design if your GPU runs stable then it should be safe, otherwise lower your clocks.

for optimal and other user experiences of gtx1060 this is a good read
