1060 price is still somewhat inflated, as is price on the 470/480/570/580 cards - but they've all come down a LOT from the peak gouge pricing even though they're STILL inflated quite a bit over pre-gouge/shortage pricing.

Got them running around 666 sol/s or 10200 sol/s total now as I dropped the powerlimits to reduce heat and noise. I have mostly founder's editions as well as a few gigabyte gaming OCs, 2 gigabyte turbos and two pny 1080ti blowers. Overclocks don't really have so much affect on hashrate with equihash I believe, but everything is running at 150+ core and 450+ memory.
Equihash can be wierdly picky about overclocks, sometimes MORE overclock gives less hashrate. It doesn't seem to be super picky about memory clocks though. My GTX 1080 ti Aorus pulls 620 sol/s at 150 watts (60% tdp) for a bit over 4.0 efficiency - which seems to be it's most efficient point or very close to it's most efficient point. GTX 1070 ti (I got my EVGA SC today) at 60% can manage quite a bit better than 4 - more like 4.4 - at +200 core +700 memory in afterburner (but the card UNDERCLOCKS the memory by default a little for some reason). Up side of the 1080 ti though is rig density and fewer cards to deal with, even if it IS a little less efficient than some of the alternatives. Hi QuintLeo, Would you mind sharing what are your core&mem overclock settings for the GTX 1080 ti Aorus 620 sol/s at 150 watts (60% tdp)? That s pretty good number you 've got there. +100 core +100 memory. I suspect any of the "2.5 slot wide" 1080 ti models will match that VERY closely, as they all seem to have near-identical factory overclocks and equally overkill cooling. |

He had almost identical results to my testing of the 1070 ti - though I tested more settings than he did, the 60% TDP (106 watt) +200 core +700 memory settings in Afterburner were the most efficient I found as well for the EVGA SC card. Cooling on that card is very very good - I never got it over 66C at about 72% fan no matter WHAT I tried on it (though I didn't go over 100% of factory TDP (180 watts) at any point in my testing). I didn't think to test it on DSTM, as my results to date on my very limited testing of DTSM gave LOWER hashrate at the same settings on the same card vs EBWF. |

There is no other coin offering that supports BOINC research work.
There are 2 somewhat similar coin offerings (CureCoin and FoldingCoin) that support Folding@Home work.
There used to be a project that offered DogeCoin in support of Folding@Home work, but the rewards from that project were very minimal, to the point of not even covering electric usage, and I don't know if that project still exists.

I believe that is 2 cards at 150 watts EACH, not 2 cards TOTAL of 150 watts.

Wattman is a joke.
MSI Afterburner has been beating it hands-down NO COMPETITION for longer than that Wattman garbage has existed.

Slightly disappointing unfortunately. I think people should be sticking to the 1080ti for ETH and ZEC. The 1070ti just isn't cutting it, apparently
The 1080ti is a BAD choice for ETH, but a decent one for ZEC. WAY too expen$ive for the 35ish Mhash it can manage on ETH, when AMD RX 470/480/570/580 cards can pull more than DOUBLE the hash/$ at recent pricing. 1070ti is a GOOD ZEC card, in my testing of various cards it achieves THE highest efficiency (by a little) of any card in existance - though you can't build rigs as DENSE as you can with the 1080 ti. |

Hi, I wish to start mining some coins, I have just purchased some Gridseed 5 miners. It is not my intention to stick with these but I want to use them to learn my way around.
I have had a stroke and I struggle a little with retaining stuff that I used to take for granted. I have signed up here and hope to join a pool when I am up and running. I am not expecting the miners to be profitable, but I am already burning 1.2 - 1.5 KW to heat my studio so I will use the heat generated buy the rig for heating the place.
My question about the PSU. I would like to be able to run 20 Gridseed 5 chip miners. If I understand correctly they are each 12 V 6 Amp and 60-70 watts
I do not want to run 20 individual PSU's. I would appreciate it if someone could point me to a PSU that will run 10 miners or 20 miners. I do not mind if I need to buy a single unit or 2 units.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
They are only 60-70 watts each if you try to mine Bitcoin on them - which they are VERY VERY INEFFICIENT ON, TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Scrypt they are marginal on for mining, if you have SUPER cheap electric they might manage break-even. MAYBE. I think they only use about 5-6 watts, perhaps a bit more due to the fan, when mining Scrypt only. There are a lot of "PCI-E 6 pin to barrel connector" adapters out there, some specifically designed for use with Gridseed mining units. |

There is no way a WEB site should be down due to problems with an email server.
I detect a very strong STENCH OF SCAM.

I've RMA'd two already. This will be the third. This time I'm going to try to ask them to send me another model back. I'm putting 600W load onto them. It's within spec. They should really not die within a few months. I believe they probably use better quality components on the higher-range of their PSUs... but then they shouldn't advertise the GQ series as being "gold" efficiency (if they're only going to be "golden" for a few months that is - they are pretty dark brown in my book).
"Gold" is an efficiency rating, NOT a "how well engineered for long life" rating. Gold-rated power supplies TEND to be better engineered, but not always. Biggest issue I have with the GQ series (AND the new G3 series) is that junk "fancy name sleeve bearing" fan in the things - they DO NOT LAST in high-load high-temp environments anywhere near as long as ball bearing fans do (like the G2 series uses). |

Yeah f*** me I know many things don't make sense when it comes to mining.
Happy to jump on the BTG bandwagon. Just need to fix that bloody EWBF bug.
Oh and I need to swap another PSU. It's the third EVGA 750GQ that craps out on me in the space of 6 months. Lousy, lousy piece of engineering from EVGA.
EVGA doesn't make their own powersupplies - and the GQ wasn't one of their better offerings. I'm not sure, but based on the sudden increase in availability it looks like EVGA *MIGHT* have had SuperFlower put some of the G2 models back into production - those ARE excellent power supplies. |

5 GH on Skein vs ballpark 800 Mh (as I recall) on a GTX 1080 ti - so only about 6 time the speed at ballpark half the power draw.
Still enough to kill GPU mining on Skein pretty quick if Baikal ships enough of these things.
LOL... 100x was just a figure of speech - but then again at 120watts=5GHs -- that's amazing hash power vs 1080ti Anyways, Baikal has been pestering me to try X series out a few months ago .... The offer is off the table now since X10 has some serious demand esp for the new algos Myriad-Grs and Skein (shipping mid-Dec) Anyways, just to give a shoutout to Baikal - good products and low power consumption. Good support tech team too. We have a lot of Baikals in our X11 farm -- we had over 50GHs during the X11 boom (2016-17) -- ROIed many times over. Baikal entered the big Asics market at the right timing there well ahead of Bitmain, Innosilicon and iBelink. A 900MHs Giant can fetch 3x-4x price earlier this year - but we didnt sell. With X11 basically dead meat now - I was contemplating to shut them down but we decided to just put them to Prohashing and get paid in any coins we want -- of late VTC was flavor of the month otherwise it stays in DASH Solo pool as their backup pool. I wasn't sure if the 100x was an exaggeration or not. 9-) My issue with Baikal is that their ordering system is a sad pathetic joke - one of the worst in the industry. They do have a good rep for reliability, and had the best performance for quite a while on X11. They were NOT first though on X11 - Pinidea and iBelink were before them - though Baikal is still the ONLY ASIC choice on the other algos their miners support. |

Actually 275MHz makes a theoretical max of 121GH. It might be pushed further, and I'm considering upping the max voltage, but the ~3.1V/275MHz is about the peak hashrate from 60W DC. But there's no good reason to limit it to 5A brick power since some people have 8A bricks or PCIe PSUs. The stock fans and heatsink will only handle so much heat, but the final version has a temp sensor and overtemp shutdown for that reason.
Quite a few folks may have 10A bricks left over from the Gridseed Blade days - though I wouldn't want to push 10A out of those bricks 24/7 |

I'm sure its been asked but since its impossible to search forum, I should ask again
Can any one explain to me how the fee option works in 3.4 ?
If I set "--fee 1" does the 2% included will be reduced to 1 or it will be 2+1 ?
It should reduce the fee to 1 |

I just spent 3k on 2 more baikal X10s via wire transfer so Im tapped out for a while
My China contact say, the board is sold out everywhere in China/HK. Btw, once you get the X10, share us the review on the Skein algo. Baikal did work with me previously on the early X series but it was too expensive coming into a saturated X11 mining. The Myriad-GRS and Skein algo addition will be a key differentiator ... one X10 is probably equal to 100 x 1080tis on Skein algo ! 5 GH on Skein vs ballpark 800 Mh (as I recall) on a GTX 1080 ti - so only about 6 time the speed at ballpark half the power draw. Still enough to kill GPU mining on Skein pretty quick if Baikal ships enough of these things. |

And just to be even more certain, since my EVGA SC 1070 ti showed up early (this morning, wasn't DUE 'till Friday) - it works VERY WELL INDEED with EBWF.
new 1070ti?.. nice! and thanks for the info.. I was wondering as well. Does it beat a 1080? It is more efficient in my testing (by a narrow margin) than ANYTHING ELSE I've worked with for ZEC mining at that 60% TDP +200 core +700 memory setting - and I don't think I've SEEN any other reports of stable 4.35+ efficiency out of anything else. Other models might eek out even better efficiency - but I suspect it won't be by much if at all, this card was running too cool for heat to have been a limiting factor on core boost. It does not beat the 1080 on raw hashrate, though it is competative on hash/$ vs anything else in the NVidia 10xx series. |

 Is this just me or anyone else sees this in their 1070 Ti too ? It cant count properly. Different GPUs - they're NOT all on the same count. |

I'm not sure Microsoft is going to like that you "borrowed" their coin idea. Wink Still, interesting nonetheless, will keep tabs.
Since when does Micro$loth ever have original ideas? BASIC? Ported it from minicomputers. PC-DOS/MS-DOS? See the story of how they ended up with Seattle DOS as the "base code" for PC-DOS - and later retroactively paid for their theft rather than face a massive lawsuit. Windows? Stolen from Apple, who stole it from Xerox - THAT was an interesting pair of lawsuits - then stole parts of Unix for some of the underlying design concepts in NT and later. It's a VERY VERY long list.... |

Why are you wasting time trying to mine Script with a CPU or a GPU?
Even the GRIDSEED ASIC stuff is getting borderline on if you can mine profitably with it if you have SUPER cheap electric.
I suspect they're just too slow to compete for shares any more on most pools.
