I use 9 series and 10 series nvidia cards.

Recently I have been mining skein.  Check for the batch link in my signature.  Tons of info.

I still run 900 series.... no need to fret especially if you already have it.  Especially since 980's can be had on CL for ~140.

All you need to do is have a working PC with a proper video card and its proper drivers installed... nothing special about a one or two card miner;  its only tricky with multiple GPU's and risers, etc.

With a pre-working pc it's just a matter of running ccminer and connecting it to either your wallet for the coin u want to mine, or a pool.

yeah, skein likes core, not mem... its more math than memory oriented like other algos.  You don't get a ton, but you get some out of it.

there was one this past afternoon;  ~18Hrs ago.

Was your bal less than .0001 at that moment in time?  I got mine....

first post... hmm.

Did you check the current block listed on the yobit wallet vs the blockchain?   You gotta think about how many blockchains their servers are trying to stay up to date with.   The ones with the most volume, I would assume get the most attention... but typically when my deposit hasnt arrived yet;  the wallet is a few blocks behind.

I myself, have yet to have any issue with sending or receiving funds from yobit.

But;  I only TX and RX BTC from them.  Not alts.

Always check the wallet status before sending funds in is an excellent recommendation anytime you are TX'ing funds.

check the system logs in computer management (assuming windows);  see if any errors are present......

If you reboot the rig does it work fine again?

If a display and HID devices hooked up can you control the machine or is it frozen?

is it just the miner app?  or can you visit websites from that machine?

is your router expiring your IP and not renewing the lease via DHCP?

have you completely disabled IPV6? (always smart anyways in my book, you can drop an entire network to its knees easily with a few simple repeated IPV6 commands)

if its freezing; could be many things;  gotta test everything one at a time, memory, mb, cpu, etc;  including checking the power supply for odd ripples in all the power busses....

also;  theres some GPU that the PCIE power connector is on the short edge of the card at the very end.... hopefully thats not going to be an issue for many cards.

It would be nice to be able to have the GPU's in their own modular section;  but, in the end, for me personally I think its best to have each unit as one whole;  not two parts.

FYI the new payout schedule of 2x for .01, and sundays for .005 is superb.

Makes payout graph much more consistent to compare.

See my link on page one for the 1k address.

He spent about 3k I think.  Actually less than 3k...  the two month full speed running total still hasn't hit for the hashrate the machines have.  It's still increasing.  Compare payout history for past weeks to see how well it did.

Phillip, underclocking/undervolting will reduce the hashrate is my guess.

Check the zpool benchmarks for the hashrate and intensity settings people have been using.

The pool side share to hashrate conversion isn't exactly linear...  I see my 500mh devices go as low as 300mh, and as high as 750 sometimes.  Usually a larger share found will see a very similar one right after...  kinda like the asicboost concept.

Its all shown on the wallet page.   skein primarily mined using ccminerAlexis78.


I don't follow the heard;  I do my own research and It lead me here....   before that, I was on Lyra2V2, but its profitability took a dive, and was not near as consistent as skein.

I havent tested timetravel myself yet.  Kinda been very happy with what works, on top of the fact that coins like DGB and AUR are jumping in the markets.... so why leave the profitable algo??? lol

I beg to differ on nvidia.


Mining an older algo;  with 5x 1080 and 1x 1070;  over 1K/mo in earnings.  thats not chump change in comparison..  better wattage/hash ratio too.

my equivalent of 3x 1070, earns me over 300/mo presently.

see for yourself:

do a search for 130cfm 120mm i believe....  my buddy bought them... not sure...

3x 130+CFM fans as extractors, should be sufficient assuming the inlet side isnt restricted....   suck clean air in past the cards.... I think 3 could possibly work....

We use 3 fans in front, plus the two tiny ones that come in the rosewell rear of the case..  and can keep the 5 GTX1080 cards under 70*... indoors with no AC or extra active cooling.

my friends ~3K investment in gpu rigs nets him currently a little over 1K/mo.

He did wait for people selling cards at a deal.

Typical GPU rigs ROI in 3-6mo.  in today's market, as low as 2 months.  but that can always change drastically.

So i just noticed the results from it figuring itself out.

Seems to have slowed down on those quick market order sells since its not trying to beat a huge deadline on selling the mined coins.

MY delta pending, vs. balance has greatly increased;  pretty much tripled...  I see .007 owed, but only .003 confirmed.  historically it was a max of .005 owed with .003 confirmed, or thereabouts.

I myself am curious is this will change the chance of catching a profitability spike on the exchanges.   I see it as it being more able in a sense act like its going to hold out for a high asking price, rather than putting a market sell order because it has to to pay the miners.

Is there a pool setting for time to sit on coins up for sale and update the market sell price as the market fluxes down, or does it even work that way?

Ive been curious abotu the backend, but don't want to try and navigate and understand someone else's functions and classes =D

read up on the miner's "API"

This is how you interface with the miner remotely for stats and info.

typically;  the API binds automatically to some port; and you will have to look up how to interface with the API yourself if you don't use someone else's pre-configured/coded program.

Typically for a custom set of API data, you would have to write a program or script to send data to the remote (or local) port(s) and listen for a return of data to display to you....

Gonna take some research my friend to do it custom.

Yes;  you can.

I believe some releases of ccminer 1.7 can handle those GPU's, but the algo support and optimization is lacking compared to nowadays graphics cards.

In all respects of "classic" (not recent) altcoin algos; ones like X11, X17, neoscrypt, lyra2v2, etc... tend to work fine.  Ive had issues with finding miner builds to mine on a gtx650 with X15 (i think) before...

You need to try different older (maybe newer) versions of ccminer to see if it works.  try different algos by using a multipool.

Check the "batch" link in my sig.  It links to a pool, and loads upon loads of information about getting started mining and configuring miners.   I have also written many batch files to accomplish different tasks and whatnot.

FYI, the enclosed space will require some high cfm fans over the GPU's....   Ive always needed more cooling than originally thought when enclosing many GPUs so close together.  This means a big increase in noise usually.

Food for thought, but not a bad idea;  just aluminum sheets to cover the rig, attach with screws.   Simplistic.

YEah, it has some....  but... nowhere near what cuda cores are now.

The original reply above was on-point.  You need a miner app that supports your GPU....   Which will be quite an old one.  I have no links on them, your gonna have to try a bunch and find out what works, and more importantly, what you can mine with that gpu.

For instance, a GTX 650 has trouble mining on many algos;  it just won't...  It sits and nibbles 15Mh of LBRY cause that's one of the few it works well with.
