You might get away with running a P2Pool node on a non-dedicated machine, but I doubt anything less then a dedicated server would handle a full pool reliably.
If someone like pooler that runs a large pool says differently, though, go with their experience.

Using both intake AND exhaust fans is a waste.
In fact, if your "cutouts" on the miners are tight enough, you might not need additional fans at all - the fans of the miners should get your air circulation going.

 You WILL need more space for air intake and exhaust though if you are planning to run 600 AMPS worth of 220V mining in that room - most likely you'll need to replace BOTH windows with louvres or some such.

 Breaker panels on the cold side and well away from the window is a VERY GOOD idea - don't change that part, except perhaps to put ALL the panels on the back wall not just 2 of the 3.
 Breaker panels CAN be mounted in a vertical stack, if you leave enough space between them for wiring access - the code spec for "required height" is pretty wide.

 YOYO, YAFU, both are CPU specific at this time to my specific knowlage.
 I'm currently pulling a little over 20 GRC a day despite not making any special effort at CPU mining via YOYO.

 There are a few other projects that are CPU-centric as well in the Gridcoin whitelist, but I don't remember which ones they are offhand.

 Looks like the Zotac Mini would also fit.

 OK, you just found me a viable AMD AM4 platform.

 Problem with the AM4 based APUs so far is THEY HAVE VERY FEW PCI-E LANES, and most motherboards end up disabling one or more PCI-E slots when used with an A-series APU instead of a Ryzen.

Just have to watch the profitability on Monero - and I'd guess the "too many botnets" issue is more claimed than real.

 It's actually not - but at current pricing for 60 GB ssd M.2 drives, it's a lower cost option than most new hard drives, and some folks like not having to deal with the space a HD takes up.

 Total fake, given that Bitcoin Gold still isn't mineable RIGHT NOW (but should be later today).

 We saw some of the same lies about a "driver mod" a month or two back using the 1070.

 The 3 GRC pools are some of my primary competition on Moo Wrapper - grcpool-3 in particular has been breathing down my neck for a while now, though the Vega56 I have on order should give me some breathing space once I get it up and running.
 They are "top accounts" due to massive participation far more than "taking advantage" of anything.


 What I'm having issues with right now is a "new" wallet error, "Unable to send beacon! Unlock wallet!" that persists even when I DO unlock the wallet.
 My last beacon send was 5 months back (May 31), I SHOULD NOT BE DUE TO HAVE TO SEND A NEW ONE yet.

 3.6.3 wallet at least has been STABLE for me - no crashes or reboots in at least a week so far.

 They also had the A2 for Scrypt - which DOES meet specs reliably and was also a rock-solid design (adopted from the Dragon miners I believe), only issue there was the original PS in the 110Mh units was real marginal for trying to run full Turbo mode.

 Needing proper board-level design to meet specs is to be EXPECTED on high-end chip design - that's where SFARDS fell down badly, looked like their mining CHIP was decent but they had the same garbage for board-level design that crippled them when they were still Gridseed.
 It's also a large part of what killed KNC in the end.


 12 GH / watt on SHA256 has been demonstrated both by Bitmain and by Bitfury on the current 14/16nm node - but Bitfury so far has only demonstrated it at the chip level, and I forget what the actual hashrate of the chip was in their demo videos at that efficiency level.

 Putting a single mining chip on a PC-based motherboard though would be a total waste.
 PCI-E cards would make more sense if you're going to put a miner in a standard computer - but reference Butterfly Labs for how the only cards (AFAIK) that were ever released in that form factor didn't make it in the market.

 Most folks that know what the R9 295x2 is don't count it as a single card - it's 2 GPUs on one card, and the DRIVERS see it as 2 GPUs when counting against the "number of GPU limits" of the drivers.

 It DOES make for a nice compact rig though, *IF* you can keep the beast fed and cooled.

 --pec on the command line.

 I think --pec 1 also works, or perhaps is needed.



 "stratum subscribe timeout" sounds like you have an ISP issue, or the network interface on your mining rig died.
 Could be an issue on the pool you're using though.


 Windows update, ESPECIALLY ON WINDOWS 10, is notorious for BREAKING MINERS by forcing upgrades to drivers that often don't WORK.
 It's one of the reasons I vastly prefer LINUX for dedicated mining rigs.

 My Aorus always blink white when they have good power - might depend on the specific model or perhaps the default settings somewhere in the GPU BIOS for if they blink or not?
 I've never messed with their "RGB" settings junk, as I consider that stuff to be a total waste of time and effort and would prefer that GPUs didn't HAVE that waste of money stuff on them.

 Presuming the same LEDs as on my 1070 version of that card, you have something wrong with power to the last 2 cards.
 

 They're 1 slot wide, so while their base cooling is only so-so they should work fairly well in a riserless setup since their fans can get some AIR into them despite the crowding.

 Actually, there are quite a few R9 290 still in use in GPU mining rigs - and they are still quite profitable if you have low enough electric cost.

 R9 295x2 is a lot less common as there weren't nearly as many made, and they don't have enough better cooling to be able to clock each GPU as high as the R9 290 can manage, but they're still viable on cheap electric.

The number of cards limit is not the motherboard, it is a DRIVERS limit.

 I think I remember seeing at least one of the P106 mining cards listed on NewEgg, and Amazon should have sources for most or all of them.

 You might need more CPU or more RAM to run that many cards on one motherboard.

IME the 373.06 drivers are the most stable on a 1070 or 1080.

 Widely recommended in the Folding community for that reason on anything but the 1080ti and the Titan Xp (and something newer will also be needed for the 1070ti when it starts shipping).

Toomim brothers is in Grant County, Washington. I'll leave it to them to be more precise if they choose to be - I've seen their building but not had any chance to try for a "visit" to date.

(edit - visited this week, but they understandably were not interested in offering a tour to someone that wasn't hosting with them).

Zoomhash is starting to look like they may have shut down all operations - the last commmunication I got from them indicated that the owner hadn't decided yet, but that was months ago and ALL of their web addresses are now offline.

MegaBigPower has mutated into GigaWatt - I don't know if they still have their older mine(s) in operation.

Anyone else notice that the Saicidoenterprices office address is at the same address (though possibly different building) as MinerWarez?

 I give it 50/50 on "Nvidia 11xx series" or "Nvidia 20xx series".

 Most likely sometime first half of next year, from what I recall of the more recent NVidia announcements.

 Given their current domination of AMD pretty much across the board in their PRIMARY market (gamers), I don't see them feeling a need to move anytime sooner.
