genoil ...
i have wanted to 'play' with mining eth for a little bit now - and ive tried following your instructions for compiling in fedora 23 x64 - but it ALWAYS fails ...
i do not have a miner for eth for the nvidia cards - and when i try with sgminer ( opencl ) it too fails to compile ...
i have the latest updates for fedora 23 x64 - and cuda 7.5 ... yet - every single thing i try fails to compile the eth miner ... not many other miners fail compilation ( sp - tpruvot - djm34 ccminer ... sgminer-dev - wolf0 sgminer ) - but this one wants to be stubborn ...
how did you get it to compile on the fedora 23 that you suggested in your git wiki? ...
id really like to get at least ONE miner compiled and running - even if its just for a test - let alone mining for coin ...
any ideas? ... pm if you need ...

The git wiki is not mine. The only linux builds I succesfully did were on AWS G2 with Ubuntu. What is your build command line and what errors do you get? -OT- Genoil, I hope you dumped my donation already. I don't want to be that guy they are telling stories about... you know, 10 000 BTC for pizza and so on...  |

Too low performance and too high power consumption to be profitable miners any more.
Even the 7xxx series are getting pretty marginal at best.
My 6990 (basically 2 x 6950) is mining decred 2 x 800 Mh/s and earns a couple of DCR per day, even 58xx series is profitable in DCR. 7970 (=280x) is about the best card you can get for ETH mining. Street price about 140 €/$ and mines ~22MH, with todays prices ROI in 40 days. |

I sold five high end gpu:s in total and put some of that money in ETH. It is up like four times since then so i guess i am not that stupid.
I think a combo of mining smart and daytrading is the way to go if you dont have free electricity and a bunch of optimized miners.
I've been doing this for one year now and I can say it works at least for me. With 330€ it is much easier to daytrade 0.01 BTC/ day than buy GTX 970 and mine 0.01 BTC/ day with it. Dumped last of my BTC 6 weeks ago and been shorting since. Sold all my 750's and bought higher end cards instead so I am doing something differently though haha! 10 cards brings 15€ profit per day + free heating on top of that. |

Where I live it's best to buy AMD even if you already have Nvidia. Used quality 7970 sets you back 130-150€ (22-24MH), 290(X) 220-240€ (28-31MH), GTX 970 300-320€ (20-22MH). After tweaks power consumption is almost the same (~200W per card). For gaming 290(X) is a s fast as GTX 970.
I'm paying 0.1€/ kWh and my nvidia rig is still more profitable hashing 110MH@1000W than 83MH@600W (lowest I can go with 5 x 970).
Of course, understood. Different everywhere you go. California pays $0.25 kW/h, Nevada is next to nothing at night... AMD works well for highest hashrates, nVidia offers the power play (so long as cuda devs can wring it out of the code). My cards are over a year old, having mined a good bit of dark until difficulty rose a bit too high and the price dropped (coming back though). New 970's can be had for $300 in the US (285€). Wasn't suggesting buying new for mining though; best if you already had 'em — or like you said, get older or used AMD, and I suppose underclocking them if electricity and ROI are issues. Juice where I'm at is $0.085 kW/h (0.075€) New 970's start here from 330€ but it is still very hard to find good used ETH mining card (no 6+6 pin, no hynix, under warranty) under 300€. For some reason there is demand...  |

What tweaks are you making, 290x pulls 260 plus watts on my end compared to the 220 watts on my 280x
Miners .
I agree with you on the 970s the entry price is too high given that I only plan on mining eth, by the time the 970 gets into the green homestead will be over and mining will be done by summers end
Underclock core, overclock memory, undervolt card. You need to find yourself what works best for your card. Undervolting can be done with software in windows, in linux you need to flash modded bios. |

A 970 is more expensive than a 280 or 280x
Unless you already have the nvida hardware its best to buy AMD
There's the rub -- GTX may cost a bit more initially but will recoup some in electric cost over time, perhaps a long time depending on coin/exchange rate! GTX have held resale value a little better over time if that's a factor (not to me), and besides -- my box was always a gaming rig first, mining off-hours second, when profitable. I exchange coins fairly quickly, selling to the greater fool while they're still "worth" something.  Where I live it's best to buy AMD even if you already have Nvidia. Used quality 7970 sets you back 130-150€ (22-24MH), 290(X) 220-240€ (28-31MH), GTX 970 300-320€ (20-22MH). After tweaks power consumption is almost the same (~200W per card). For gaming 290(X) is a s fast as GTX 970. I'm paying 0.1€/ kWh and my nvidia rig is still more profitable hashing 110MH@1000W than 83MH@600W (lowest I can go with 5 x 970). |

so tell me what to mine  Easiest way to start is to get BTC address, install nicehashminer, change BTC address to your own, press benchmark, press start and enjoy. You will make about 0.0013 BTC per day. If you want dash you can buy it with BTC you earn. |

Remember, it is a race for finding a block which starts again every 15 seconds. To win that race you need to get rid of every ms. To mine directly to exchange you need to mine in pool, pool = lots of ms and rejected shares.
From my experience with fast coins it's the other way around; you get more orphans not the pools, even with very low scantime. Pools tend to have better connection and their wallets usually have way more than 10-20 connections. Yeah, forgot to say you need better than average network connection too. You just don't wan't to see pool stats like this (ETH): Blocks Coins Generated 13 65 5 25 Earnings 58.51884072 |

You need windows 7 or linux. And elpida memory. Hynix is slower. What card are you using?
Windows 8.1 x64, card- GIGABYTE GV-N970WF3OC-4GD, samsung memory I believe samsung is hynix based. hynix is in faster copyspeed. Elpida is faster in random acces. Samsung and Elpida give 20-22MH/s, hynix 17-19MH/s in windows 7. I am not sure about windows 8.1. You need to get your card to P0 state: 1) open cmd.exe with the admin privileges 2) cd C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI 3) nvidia-smi -q -d SUPPORTED_CLOCKS -i 0 4) nvidia-smi -ac 350X,14XX -i 0 (where 350X is that very first number printed after supported clocks-memory and 14XX one of those numbers printed after graphics) 5) Overclock your memory, +500 generally works. Should give you memory speed of 4005MHz 6) Overclock your core, doesn't make big difference mining ETH. 7) If you wan't to save power, reduce your power limit. Even 60% works suprisingly well. Someone should open new topic for nvidia and ethereum...  |

Last block was mined at 531.64 GH/s. Last 24h volume at Poloniex just passed 22000 BTC so $100000 ain't that much.
But $1 000 000 mined in 10 days is a bit much for a new coin don't you think? When some of the biggest miners starts to dump it, the coin will bleed.. The High turnover is caused by trading... The same coins are flipped back and forth. What makes this coin so special? And why do they want to go POS? Only small portion of all ETH is mineable. Right now there are bids worth of 1740 BTC/ 275000 ETH above 0.006, bid book total 4000 BTC. It isn't coin as we miners know it. It's more like a fuel for a platform. Read it yourself, it's all there freely available. |

In principle exchanges don't like much people mining directly to an exchange account,
especially from a pool, as it will create many very small transactions, so I don't think it is the proper way to proceed.
Also if it is just to dump right away to an exchange not sure it is ideal either.
That is true. But many pools allow you to change autowithdrawal limit, if you change it so that there is only 1-2 withdrawals per day there shouldn't be any problems. |

Volume is on two exchanges, Poloniex and Kraken (fiat too). Why don't you mine directly to your deposit adress at poloniex? Then you don't need to run the stupid etherum program all the time. And much easier to dump for BTC. Remember, it is a race for finding a block which starts again every 15 seconds. To win that race you need to get rid of every ms. To mine directly to exchange you need to mine in pool, pool = lots of ms and rejected shares. You can mine directly to Kraken, trade it to EUR and withdraw to SEPA account. Withdrawal cost is 9 cents. Where do I need BTC for? I have kept every ETH I have mined so far. |

As long as the price is raising 30% a day. The miner are holding their coins and not dump them right?
The network hashrate is currently 886.50GHASH
With the current prices (Ether @ $2.76), $95 501 worth of etherum is mined every day.
That is a lot of cash for a coin that was worth 0$ only 6 months ago.
886,5GHASH is around 35 000 amd 7970 cards. (25MHASH per card)
35 000 cards @ 200watt = 168 000KWh burned a day.(0.15$ per Kwh = $25200)
Miners have bills to pay....
Not sure where you get that hashrate from? Last block was mined at 531.64 GH/s. Last 24h volume at Poloniex just passed 22000 BTC so $100000 ain't that much. I am still earning better mining solo than in pool, 100-140MH/s and still finding blocks. No problems what so ever, old miner & Nvidia & Windows 7 (well, geth clients hangs every now and then). |

I get ridiculously low speeds on them and 18.8Mhs per 970 (1450/7800mhz). With another version I get ~19 Mhs but nothing gets sent to the pool.
Any optimizations could be very lucrative to the devs.
Let me guess, your 970 has Hynix memory? |

Test run cuda65.exe, both 970 and 980 up 14% from 1.5.74, thanks djm!

Genoil, some ETH coming your way. Been using your miner since last summer but never donated.

Same problem in the cryptonight algo. Doesn't work on widows 10
Cryptonight allready takes hit in windows 8.1. 7 is still best windows for mining. |

It worked both clocks where the same after setting n.i. to defaults. Thank you antantti and djm sooooooo much I really appreciate what you have done. You made this disabled guy very happy. Do you want me to delete my posts to keep your thread clean djm? ps I still don't understand why the clocks don't go to 7 ghz but at least the 980ti's are in the p0 state EDIT: djm how much oc on memory on your 980 gtx do you do for lyra2r2 ? I'm happy when tbearhere is happy 3505 x 2 = 7010 that's where that 7GHz comes from. PS. All my 970's do at least +500 on memory, 4000 x 2 = 8000Mhz and they are happily hashing ETH 22MH each. 980ti should do more. Did you check power consumption of 970's during mining eth? From 600W@83MH to 1000W@110MH. 5x970 + some other stuff, TDP is the limiting factor. I'm using Genoil's cuda miner. link please? ... #crysx |
