keep buying gpu's trolls, keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuying, dooooooo nooooooooooot sssssssssstooooooooooop buuuuuuuuuuying hehe and dont worry cause you can always use them for heating in winter hehe or if you have vega then to grill some meat hehe
Why do you even post in the mining subforum when it is obvious you think mining is pointless (never mind that most coins would not exist in the first place without miners)? I really hate to put people on my ignore list because I think hearing from those you don't necessarily agree with is useful, but your posts are pretty much devoid of all meaningful content and not helped in the slightest by appending "hehe" to nearly every sentence. But please feel free to prove me wrong by writing something cogent and meaningful... |

For what it's worth, we have a number of rigs using this miner for the past couple of weeks or so and have not had any significant drop in hashrate over time. All of the rigs are on Windows 10 Pro with page file set to the total amount of Vram plus a little bit extra. 80% power limit and a moderate core OC (+100-175 depending on the model of GPU). --- 388.71 drivers, vga drivers only installed, no audio, 3dsurround, geforce experience etc installed.
Yes, I managed to get this to run very consistently with my FE GTX 1080, but hashrate dropped after some period of time on both my Asus ROG Strix 1080 and my one "real" rig of 6x GTX 1060. Worse is that I just mined TZC for 4.5 hour with my 6x 1060 rig on the official pool (which finds blocks every few minutes) and got credited for 15.8 coins instead of the expected 18.4 - that's about 15% less, meaning my effective hashrate was more like 3700 kH/s rather than the 4300 kH/s claimed by the program. In fact, that makes the effective hashrate worse than ccminer-klaust 8.19... I'm not sure what's going on here, but it sure looks funky from my perspective. |

WHAT WARNING IS THAT IN AHASHPOOL?
Announcement: (2018-01-27 17:46 UTC) Unfortunately, Crowdcoin CRC (neoscrypt) appears to have a chain split, and the pool ended up being in the shorter side of the split...
It means you were mining air for 4 hours - ie, you'll get nothing and like it! |

I need to update my outdated 100 mbps router as my internet speed is now 180 mbps. I need to get a gigabit lan/wan/wifi router. Any in particular you recommend? Perhaps the least latency? I'd like a router that has ability to install custom router firmware on it at a later date if I decide: e.g. dd-wrt or tomato. Thanks  Latency isn't really an issue with the cheapest wifi routers, but having to reboot frequently can be. I ran dd-wrt on my previous Netgear router, but my current Linksys model still has the factory firmware (note that I haven't tried to install anything different, however). |

Is DERO traded on any exchanges yet? Or would I be mining a coin just for future potential?
I like the concept but I'm a bit wary of a coin which does not have any actual value established by a market somewhere/
Yes, it's on stocks.exchange: https://stocks.exchange/trade/DERO/BTC |

Yes, I understand that, but I also take into consideration the current cash value earned over a 24h period given a certain amount of hashing power. These days I am getting around $1.80 in ITNS vs. $1.20 in DERO with my Ryzen 5 1600, so ITNS has the edge right now. I can't predict the future - maybe ITNS goes up in flames and DERO surpasses UBQ or even ETH as the top smart-contract coin - so the best strategy is to spread one's proverbial eggs among many baskets.
Now if I actually get my hands on a server rack then I will be able to mine several (more) cryptonote coins simultaneously...
Ha! We're both interested in the same two projects. When deciding which one to mine (because let's be honest, the ann forum is full of copy/paste garbage and valueless ICOs whereas these two have a purpose) I try to work based on future rather than present value. Assume both projects hit $100m market cap in 2018. There would likely be ~500m circulating ITNS and ~1.5m circulating DERO. Therefore ITNS would be $0.20 and DERO would be $67. Then I multiply the expected number of coins / 24 hours for my hash rate by those future values and assess it from there. I also add in a small "gut feeling" factor that favors DERO if the math is close :-) Heh, well I feel better about adding ITNS my "super-speculative" holdings now! I don't disagree with your analysis and I will be mining more DERO in the future, I just want to build up a position in ITNS and I only have so many computers to work with at the moment. Considering that just two months ago I was only mining UBQ with a single GTX 1050 Ti and not using my FX-8300 to do anything more demanding than surf the web, whereas today I have the FX-8300 and a new Ryzen 5 1600 churning away on ITNS, a single RX 570 mining MUSIC (another project I think has great promise), (2) GTX 1080 working on separate coins (one is actually being used to evaluate Nemosminer on MiningPoolHub at the moment), and (6) GTX 1060 which I mainly have mining ZEN but which have been diverted to mining TZC for 6 hours today because this coin is both PoW and PoS and I need more coins to have a chance of getting a block award from PoS in my lifetime. |

Any tips for 1060?
I switched my 6x GTX 1060 (3GB) rig over to neoscrypt and will keep it there for at least 1 hour. With no custom -i or -c settings the cards are hashing at 700-720 kH/s for 4300 kH/s total. Let's see how that looks an hour from now, though. Also be warned that the latest update to Windows Defender flags this as a trojan and demands a restart. I had to add exclusions for my USB drive and mining folder. Next I'm going to gpedit Windows Defender out of existence. EDIT - total hashrate just dropped to 3910 for the (6) cards after 2 hours of operation, so very similar behavior and total percentage drop as with a single GTX 1080. I should note that I am only mildy o/c'ing these cards because they are so close together on the rig (Onda 6-GPU mobo). I'd say Palgin has some 'splainin' to do. |

I've been using nemos and following this thread for a while now so my recall of the initial learning curve and what's been said where is a bit hazy…
I agree out of date and/or minimal documentation is an irritating aspect of a lot of mining software. At least this thread is a relatively manageable size and has a good signal to noise ratio compared to wading through with something like claymore's thread. Thanks for taking the time to write a complete response; I'll try not to punish you unduly for doing so!  So the one thing I am going to totally disagree with you is that telling someone, "the answer is in the thread - go read it," is totally unrealistic when the thread is 100+ pages long. Granted, some questions really are stupid and don't deserve a better response, but if the question is about how the program/script/batch file works and it wasn't addressed in the very first post then it's not the noob being lazy here, it's the OP. 1) I've have always been able to run from any folder without hardcoding a path so not sure why you had to do this. Upon further consideration, that might be because I right-clicked on the batch file and ran it as administrator so it wasn't starting in the current directory. 2) From memory mph was added later and the password requirement was probably mentioned in the thread at that time without updating the first post. See first paragraph; if the instructions aren't in the first post - or, at least, the first page of posts - then don't expect them to be followed/known. 3) Benchmarks run when no file for the algo/miner exists in the stats folder. Selected algos will be benchmarked on their first run and this is done by actively mining it on the pool and recording the hashrate. After that a benchmark will only run if you enable a new algo, a new miner gets installed or you've deleted one/all of the files e.g. to force a new benchmark when changing a card or tweaking overclocks etc. Gotcha. I knew it benchmarked at some point because the results are displayed in the main shell window, I just didn't know when/how it did it. 4) The -interval switch is how often the pools are checked for the best algo then the -ActiveMinerGainPct switch means it will only switch to that algo if it is earning more than x% more than the current one. This is a great new feature when the top 2 algos are only a few cents apart to stop the miner flip flopping between them every time they swapped place for little/no extra reward. In fact less because of the shares lost in switching and getting back up to speed. I understood the -ActiveMinerGainPct switch and changed it to 5% for the very reason you explained, but the -interval switch was a real mystery; I wasn't even sure what the units were - milliseconds, seconds, minutes? Now that you've explained it I think I'll change it to 300 seconds because 30 seconds is barely enough time for most miners to get up to speed. What's going on with your log files?! I checked a few rigs and the largest size I can find is <10MB. You've got bigger targets to save space than nemosminer logs if that's all the free space you have on the drive. I highly recommend a 64gb cheapo ssd + win10 litewinos 'distro' (from memory ~10gb installed) = plenty of free space even with a 32gb pagefile. Oh, I wasn't running out of space... yet... but if there is not a way to specify the maximum size of a log file and/or it is not overwritten each startup then it will consume all the free space on the drive, eventually. |

Right now (and similar to when I made the post you quoted), that 440 H/s can be used to generate less than 2 DERO per day or around 72 ITNS per day. So while I still believe in DERO, I just don't see mining it as a particularly good use of resources at the moment.
Keep in mind Intense has 999 million coins, dero has 18.4 million. The small supply will help with price increases in the future, as long as the Devs keep up the good work. Yes, I understand that, but I also take into consideration the current cash value earned over a 24h period given a certain amount of hashing power. These days I am getting around $1.80 in ITNS vs. $1.20 in DERO with my Ryzen 5 1600, so ITNS has the edge right now. I can't predict the future - maybe ITNS goes up in flames and DERO surpasses UBQ or even ETH as the top smart-contract coin - so the best strategy is to spread one's proverbial eggs among many baskets.

how much EDL i can mine in 24h with x6 GTX 1070 8GB ?
or with with x6 amd vega64 ?
There is a calculator on the main US pool: https://pool.edollar.cash/# |

Hi. You need to edit and use one of the start___pool.bat files e.g. startahashpool.bat not start.bat, that's just a file nemosminer needs to work.
All the instructions are on the first post of this thread.
Not true at all. The instructions are woefully incomplete and few things are explained in the subsequent 10 pages of posts to this thread. All too often newbies inundate a thread with repetitive and basic questions but they can hardly be blamed when those questions were not answered preemptively in the first post. Frankly, I find it odd (and self-defeating) that the OP explains how to stop donations, for example, yet fails to address the following: 1) Where should Nemosminer be located? The character string "&. implies a certain location, but searching for Windows Powershell "&. does not give an answer in the 1st page of google results. I ended up replacing "&. with a hard-coded path. 2) Miningpoolhub requires each worker have a password but there is no password switch in the bat file; only after poking around the pool script files did I find out that "x" is the hard-coded password. 3) How/when are the benchmarks for each algo conducted? 4) How can the time spent on each algo be changed? Do I adjust the value in the "-interval 30" switch or via the "-ActiveMinerGainPct 3" switch or both? Of lesser importance is how to limit the size of .\logs\miner.log - mining rigs tend to run off small SSD or USB thumb drives with much of their space taken up by a fixed size pagefile so this limit could be reached in short order and Windows really starts acting cranky when it runs out of disk space. And I could probably come up with a few more questions, but you get the idea I'm sure. All that said, I don't want to seem ungrateful - far from it, this is an ingenious script that seems to beat NiceHack at its game - it's just that not providing even the most basic explanation of how this works/should be set up wastes the time of both the OP/script author as well as that of even technically savvy people trying to use it. |

got ETH mining working
got tuned to 23-24 mining ETH, bounces in between with ethminer.
Any 1060 models have issues with certain fan speed %? Like running my EVGA 1060 SC on 60% fan speed daily OK? Im sure people run them higher just curious if any models have like a limit, or start clicking, or known to fail etc etc. if anyone has experience with such instances.
Then whats a solid temp to maintain these cards at 55? 60? 65?
Ideally keep temp below 70C and fan at 80% or less, but if you have to live with violating one of these then definitely go with running the fan harder, not letting the temp climb higher. |

Have you tried re-installing your old AMD drivers? I mistakenly installed this update on 1 of my rigs last weekend and in the process, it installed newer drivers that were rendering my 470's useless. Once I rolled back to the old drivers it works fine now. Granted, I wasted half a day re-installing about 4 times because I forgot that you have to run pixel-patcher after installing any recent AMD drivers, but as long as you run DDU in safe mode, then install your go-to drivers, then run PP, it should work.
AMD drivers were 2/3rd the reason I sold my RX cards and flipped to NVIDIA. I was pretty tired of DDU / Install, pixel patch , restart, cross fingers. I am beginning to understand this sentiment... I moved some cards around yesterday and ended up putting an RX 570 on a board that previously had a GTX 1080. Before I removed the 1080 I selected "clean and shutdown" in DDU because that seemed like it would save some time with Windows freaking out about the different GPU and resetting the display to 1024 x 768. I was not too pleased when I finally powered up the rig with the new 1080 installed and got a "no bootable media found" error. Ended up having to repartition the hdd, format it and reinstall Windows from scratch because I absolutely could not get the bootrec to rebuild the BCD. Then of course I completely forgot about Pixel Patcher and spent another hour trying wondering why my screen was at the correct resolution of 1280 x 1024 but MSI AB said there was no driver installed and none of my miners would work. If I had learned something from this experience it wouldn't have been a total waste, but I have no idea why or how DDU managed to delete/corrupt "critical system files" as that was the only explanation I got from searching online for the various errors reported during my unsuccessful attempts to recover the existing installation. |

Letting hsrminer set intensity has resulted in a mysterious drop in hashrate by 100-150 kH/s after 1-3 hours of operation, and this is with two separate GTX 1080 on two very different machines. But in the spirit of science I'll try your suggestions. I noticed you don't mention anything about core clock, though, and that seems to be the source of woes for me.
Right now my Asus GTX 1080 ROG Strix edition is hashing at 1208 kH/s while drawing 166W at 85% PL, -125 core (varying between 1595 to 1670) and +300 mem (4811). (while typing this the hashrate dropped to 1176 kH/s... sigh).
My older EVGA GTX 1080 FE is hashing at 1218 kH/s while drawing 146W at 85% PL, +125 core (1633 to 1658) and +300 mem (4811 again).
In both cases setting -i 4 resulted in about 100 kH/s lower hashrate but with no real change in stability, at least for the FE card; I didn't bother repeating the same experiment with the Asus.
Hi, Funny that lowering core is showing those results -- confirmed on my ASUS 1080. ccminer gives 990 on same settings. Any tips for 1060? I haven't tried hsrminer yet on my 6x 1060 (3GB) rig - I mostly leave it to mining ZEN on autopilot - but I have tested ccminer-klaust and got 650 kH/s with core at 2000 and mem at 4151. |

I feel squeezed out as I'm down to around 2 DERO per day with my Ryzen 5 1600 CPU... Switched over to Intensecoin but will keep tabs on the DERO network hashrate. Good luck to the devs and fellow miners; I'm still holding about 272 DERO in total.
Just curious. How many coins are you getting with that CPU on Dero vs Intensecoin per day? I'm doing about 440 H/s on average with this CPU without overclocking but with some tweaking of the xmr-stak cpu.txt file. More specifically, here is the relevant portion from that file in its entirety: "cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 3 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 5 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 7 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 9 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 11 },
],
If you want to maintain usability of the computer for other things then it's very important to not use core 0 / thread 0. Ideally, you want to specify a total number of threads that is 1/2 the L3 cache size in MB; the Ryzen 5 1600 has 16MB of L3 cache so 8 threads are ideal. Right now (and similar to when I made the post you quoted), that 440 H/s can be used to generate less than 2 DERO per day or around 72 ITNS per day. So while I still believe in DERO, I just don't see mining it as a particularly good use of resources at the moment. |

lol, virtually memory is most definitely a very big factor....
Yeah, well, I did say that virtual memory isn't likely an issue unless minimum system memory and/or several GPUs are present. Regardless, I've only seen the Cuda error from hsrminer when I try to manually run too high an intensity; I either have way more system memory than is necessary for both Windows and the GPU, or else a fixed pagefile with a minimum size of the sum of all the GPU VRAM, so running out of memory, virtual or physical, isn't an issue. Now could those Cuda errors be caused by insufficient physical + virtual memory? I dunno, I'm not a programmer, but it certainly seems possible; it's just that I have seen similar errors and insufficient memory wasn't the cause. |

Ok, thanks. I'll try your suggestions and lets hope this will help. I'm trying to set the difficulty as high as possible so the traffic will be limited.
The hashrate is 900 H/s so to the diff should be between 40000 to 80000 ?
No. I really can't believe I am typing this, but, 900 x 20 = 18000, so that is the recommended low end for your difficulty, while 900 x 40 = 36000 so that would be the recommended high end for your difficulty. I usually go for 30x my hashrate which nets me around 1 share every minute. |

For you people that keep crashing, lower your overclock settings, HSRMiner is not as stable as CCMiner when it comes to overclocking so lower it. The cuda errors are overclock errors. Also, make sure you have AT LEAST the same amount of virtual memory set up as you have memory on the card.. 5 1080ti cards = 11*5 = 55gb of virtual memory minimum. You shouldn't need to set it to restart every hour, this is stable IF you don't push the limits.
How do i set the virtual memory. I don't have any overclock, just standard settings, so the virtual memory might be my problem. Then you may have to *underclock* your card for it to work with hsrminer; I did with one GTX 1080 I have that comes with a factory overclock (more specifically, I had to lower the core clock by setting -125 in MSI AB). Virtual memory is almost certainly not the issue unless you have the minimum amount of system RAM (e.g. - 4GB for Windows 10) and multiple GPUs. |
