Sweet finally a new scrypt chip worth playing with! Even I was blind sided by this...didnt think bitmain would get back in the scrypt game. Hopefully they will sell this chip at a reasonable price, or at the very least force Innosilicon to drop their ridiculous prices on thier power hog A4s. Feel bad for all the people that bought them...they are screwed now.
Either way stay tuned for round 2 of some fun mini miners from me!

490 ie Vega 10 (most likely will be named 500 series), will be a 64 CU die paired to either a 2048 or 4096bit HBM2 interface (will be 512 GB/s mem throughput either way). Based on mem bandwidth alone it should be able to do about 43 MH eth, and about 400S/s zec, but some of that is going to be dependent on where the core is clocked (especially for zec mining).
Either way doubt it will be able to touch the 470/480 on perf/$

Awesome job so far...your miner is now just as fast as optiminers (if you factor in his dev fee speed he is still slightly faster, but regardless this is still nice work). 470s are now doing 170 with this miner (and your only 40S/s away from claymour). Will def send some btc your way.

FINALLY a LINUX build!!!!! Thank you Claymore! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I have it up and running on a Linux rig now and a very nice improvement over my Silent Army miner. The was so sorely needed. ZEC mining was a weak spot because I couldn't get the hash rates out of my Linux rigs. This is wonderful news. So far it looks good!
UPDATE: I may have spoke too soon... Just got a watchdog and having to reboot a miner...
Make sure you use stock clocks for first tests. Currently I can only confirm issue with gpu-pro drivers that causes a lot of messages to syslog (and therefore high CPU load on multi-GPU systems), I'm working on it. Any update on the high message issue with AMDGPU-pro? |

And what will be the fourth month?  they will drop the price by 60% |

its claymore bug, he told that will fix this soon
Wait claymore released ZEC binaries for linux? |

If someone can send me some high res photos of both sides of the board, and some pics of the jig and where it interfaces on the board, im pretty sure I can whip up a flasher for you guys that would require about $30 bucks worth of parts. I pretty much did the same thing for the Alcheminer guys when their boards had a major firmware issue that needed reflashing.

It will be interesting to see, if all it requires is an MCU reflash that shouldn't be to bad, granted not everyone has the tools to do that , now swapping the MCU makes me wonder a bit I pulled the MCU code off the A2 boards and they really hadn't used much of the memory space. I was looking into getting an A4 but I guess I will hold off a little longer although the power savings in my case is about to make my A2s non usable. I have about modified them as much as I can wanted to use them to heat the house this winter so I built a PWM fan controller so they didn't sound like airplanes in the house and I have about repaired all the boards I have parts for.
It sounds like with a custom jig the MCU can be flashed. Inno is presently trying to setup an arrangement in the US to have someone do the flash updates for us. I assume they will also do the same for the EU part of the world. We are trying to sync up Inno with a member here to do the work. Hopefully something can be worked out for the B1 and B2 repairs. B3 miners look like they may be working better. We should be getting more reports here over the weekend how things are progressing on multipool mining with the B3 miners. What do they need done? I pretty much did the same work for Alcheminer for their board issues. Pretty sure I can fix anything wrong with these boards. |

you can currently profit with 30 cent so i can't see how 12 would not be great to start a mining farm, a small one, i think up to 0.15 it's safe to invest in mining without big risk
so go ahead and build your little farm
Just because you can profit currently does not mean you will ever ROI. The whole point is to have enough profit margin to overcome risk (ie price drops/difficulty rise). Currently thats nearly impossible with current levels of ZEC/ETH unless you paying around 5 cents/kw TOTAL bill cost. With BTC/LTC mining your a bit better off since those markets are a LOT more stable. |

Wont do much...your still limited by the 128bit memory bus.

This system pretty much defeats the point of GPU mining, because the have taken a generic GPU that can be used for anything, and pretty much turned it into an "ASIC" type design. I am actually working on a very similar system, but instead of using proprietary GPU cards that cant be resold or used in any other system, it will just use off the shelf consumer GPUs.

|

what the hell is that?
That is simple protection for my GPU binaries, you use some env var(s) that can dump them. I'm sure you use it by accident. Remove this GPU-related environment variable(s) and it will work. Havent set anything except for the usual GPU MAX ALLOC stuff. |

Version 9 just starts up and stops with the line: "not so easy bro " what the hell is that? |

pls stop this AMD nonsanse no one care for some new magic driver for games, if it works for compute which is totaly different thing, there is proper topic, not here!!!!!!
Remeber that is leaked info no one knows for sure yet what it will do mining wise unless your a beta tester then your under NDA . SO whatever, seeing is believing, sorry you don't like AMD Or wasted to much cash on NV . i need to let this go no mater what i say the AMD haters will try there best make AMD look bad . this is about using them to mine with the new drivers with this miner, so how is it not related . i did say use the new driver to mine with and i wanted others to know about the drivers, i have seen drivers in the past do thing you probable wouldn't agree with, so who cares i do and maybe some others . It will definitely do nothing for mining, unless you want less hashrate  All it does it reduce clock rates/voltages based on the amount of workload the GPU needs to render a particular scene. Usually GPUs are working at 100% while in games, and you don't really need 200fps in a low detailed scene, so it will just dynamically reduce power/framerates based on how complex the rendering pipeline is. Mining/compute operations by their nature work at 100% GPU load...there is no "magic" like what they are doing for the game scenario to reduce power for mining, unless you either reduce the clock rate or voltage manually by yourself, in which case you will either reduce hashrate or increase instability. |

you have forgot the resale value which is huge for nvidia, a 1070 can be sold again at 80% of its retail price, so i'm not actually paying more in the end
also there is the 1060 which is cheaper and has a 140 sol/60watt ratio which is better than amd and price is there same as a 480 4gb
A 470 can do over 170s/s @ 90 watts, and costs less then a 1060. AMD is the current mining king, your wasting your money if you buy nvidia for mining unless your primary reason is to buy a card or two for your gaming rig. |

Very bad.. optiminer was almost as good as claymore.. only few sols less  Maybe someone can tell how to get private subscription? THE CODER CODED FOR 10% DEV FEE WITHOUT TELLING USERS-- And that is after the dev fee reduction. I am mining WITH the dev fee. This is the best miner for AMD/Linux. The crackers say the code is based on SilentArmy. You add it up. --scryptr It was clearly stated on the web page that the miner had a fee. And the shown rates were with fee deducted, so no user was tricked into anything. Code is not based on anything other, I wrote it myself from scratch. Regardless...you are still getting over 1k USD in dev fees from people like me that have been supporting you since day 1. Its not fair that you just pull the plug out of all the people that are paying you a ridiculous amount of money to use your miner. People will always circumvent fees, its the cost of doing business, and every dev can't get pissed off at their entire user base when a few users do this. Support the people that are supporting you, and don't worry about everything else. I would understand if you were making 10 bucks a day off this, but when your making this much the least you can do is to keep supporting the vast majority of people paying your fee. In the end you'll end up making more money this way. |

ive never seen a solid light before.. how do you have it connected to pc? i see you have a usb extension cable?
ive had mine on solo nh but the min for diff is 256 on that site.. try ltc.tbdice.org if you want to go solo. make the diff 32.
I don't know what has happened back then with the red light, but now is perfectly OK and I do not have this warning light anymore. Maybe it was something wrong with my drivers after the installation. My connection is through USB 3.0 Your issue is with USB 3.0. Unfortunately Silicon Labs drivers for these have a bug with USB 3.0, which locks up the USB controller (hence the red light). Not sure if they every fixed this, but I would try downloading the latest VCOM drivers or using USB 2.0 ports. |

No i mean the converters do exist, but on the msi gaming 5 if you are using the M2 slot the PCI-e 5 is disabled, so that wouldn't work i think.
this is what I was not sure about, if using m.2 disabled a PCIE lane or just some sata ports. still might get one to try for the fun of it though Anyone figure out how to get 8 GPUs on the MSI Gaming 5? My power supply supports 9 PCIe power cables, be awesome If I could fit 2 more GPUs. You cant off the shelf. Im the one that designed this system with Padrino. My personal prototype systems are running 10 GPUs of a Gigabyte board. It requires very low level changes to how the board BIOS operates. |

Devs...any progress made?
It is quite difficult to improve the speed now. I think hes referring to this kernal catching up with claymour. Its still quite a bit behind. |

But it's a good thing if people are leaving ZEC mining for ETH, this might bring the price up a little, who knows.
The price will never go up on this coin for a very long time. This was the first coin in a while that didn't have a huge pre-mine and started with zero on day one. People forget that when Bitcoin/Litecoin came out, there were millions of coins minted before people became of aware/mass adaption started. At that point each block added was like .00001% of total supply...right now each block added by ZEC is like .1% so as long as people think the value of ZEC is 4million, the price will always be pushed down by a fast rate. This wont change for at least a year or two...when ZEC supplies reach into the millions. |
