Yes. You only need 4x 3 pins for the Z9 mini, and it only draws 300ishW...

1) EthOS can't run a mix of AMD and Nvidia, it only runs one or the other. You will need a second rig for your Nvidia cards, or sell them and buy equivalent AMDs.

EDIT TO ADD: It may be POSSIBLE to run both, but not through the config files and probably not visibly in the control panel. You can try starting a second miner separately in the cli, but I have no idea if that will work. I know that method works for CPU mining, but it does hinder the GPU hashrate slightly.

2) did you set the miner to run on local and not remote? The instrux to do so are on the EthOS mainpage, it's a simple command (I don't remember it offhand, but it's literally just one command in the cli).

3) As for the clock error problems, usually those are due to global settings with mixed cards, but since you don't seem to have any clock settings listed, it's probably because you are including the claymore flags line. You don't need those in EthOS, you already have pool and wallet info for both coins above it; comment that line out and see if that fixes the issue.

4) See 1. It (and the lack of CPU mining, which doesn't bother me) are the only negatives to EthOS I've found in almost a year of use...

And I am still jealous of that.

The problem is the options are so slim at the moment; Bytecoin is kind of a shit coin, so if you're flipping it daily for another coin, you're golden, but it's not one to hold IMO. It was the first coin I mined on a netbook when I was first learning about mining, and everyone was talking about what a scam it was. There aren't any better options atm, I'm mining it right now too, but I am probably going to start cashing it out into BTC weekly, because UNGH.

Still, not complaining, my X3 is and has earned well for me (I'm holding 3x the ETN I was before I bought it), just that it's a little depressing that it mines nothing really worth it. Then again, I bought an A3, and Sia isn't exactly ETH, so...

The X3 can't mine ETN, it forked. And you're still ignoring the fact that a gpu costs much less and uses much less electricity for that $3.

I disagree. The thing about BTC mining at this point is the downward profit curve is super slow, you're not going to see the drops you're seeing with, say, the A9, because the network is too big to be tanked like that. So the difference in power draw (24TH/s for 1950 (spec) vs 28TH/s for 2640 for the S9) is, in the long run, a loss unless you're getting really cheap or free energy or using self generated renewables or something. At .11/kwh USD, you earn the same amount of coin after electricity at today's rates and you're wasting electricity, environmentally it's a poor choice too, but at any electric rate above .11? You're saving on the initial purchase but losing in the long run, unless BTC climbs significantly (but then, so will difficulty as more miners switch on, get turned back on, etc.). Not to mention the new miner numbers are speculative. I say if you think you can recoup in 4 months or less, go for the S9s but otherwise? You're probably better off waiting and seeing what the next gen looks like...

For me, SHA256 isn't a worthwhile algo for home/hobby anymore. If I had solar panels (thanks for fucking that up, Tesla) then maybe, but the cost, environmental and electrical, is too high for the profit margin, even with the much slower dropoff (note that I'm talking about buying now, the S9 brand new was probably the longterm most profitable ASIC ever in hindsight). YMMV, just my opinion.

As for the Z9? It really just depends on who forks and when, but AFAIK there's a sliver of a chance Zen won't and Zcash haven't made an announcement (I'm betting both will eventually, though), everything else currently of worth looks like it will. For comparison, the X3 is still chugging along, but the coins it mines now aren't really worth holding, and without Nicehash it will likely continue to slowly die.

There is no way Bitmain will time it like that, there's a reason these coupons expire so quickly...

By the time batch two ships, a lot of coins will have forked.

Nice, thanks! I still can't find my kill-o-watt so I had no way to test mine.

I debated the ignore thing, but he's not the worst troll by far, and I'm on here for information, you never know when someone might contribute something useful. But I totally hear you on the quoting troll posts, making a mental note to stop doing that.

Boom? He's just continually repeating thoughts and ideas that have been talked about for ages all over this board but acting like it's some revelation only he is capable of bringing to the people. It's blowhardy and annoying, all that's happening is the entire conversation of this thread is being drowned out by "look at me, I am right" when almost nobody is even disagreeing with him on the majority of points. And he's being a dick to people about it (though to be fair, there's an equal amount of that going back his way, but still).

Like the post you just quoted. He replied to a joke as if it was part of some serious conversation we weren't even having. That's "it" for you?

Depends on the coin. You can buy enough cpu power to solo mine Verium relatively effectively for less than a new asic or two...

True, but they are for sale. But either way what I'm saying is that it's where they are pointed, not their existence, that determines coin centralization. Speaking mostly of the larger coins here, a large enough farm can of course control 51% of a smaller coin.

  Our very own Alex Jones. "It's probably because Shitmain wanted a small batch out there to blame their 51% attacks on, so the Illuminati can get their Zen Cash to replace the pope with Angie Dickenson."

Plus if you're not ordering dozens it'd be really hard to verify anyway, as how do they know your roommate didn't also order one? Not advocating, just saying it was 1 per account, not household.

I'm not a shill. I just happened to be ordering a B3 when the Z9 appeared in the store.

Time consuming? You're not using pssh or something similar? If you're running 44 rigs I HIGHLY recommend it.

Haha, I know, I was agreeing with you, you'll get no drama from me.

It's turning out that the actual Z9 may just be a standard length version of the mini, so just double the cards, since so far I have oc'ed mine more than 60% with zero HW errors after 24hrs. 2x1.6=3.2, which is easily in the 3-4x range mentioned on Twitter. These things are grossly underclocked.

EDIT: for others reading this I'm not saying you should go that high, I am totally willing to risk my Z9 to see how far it goes. It could very well burn out at any time, I am not endorsing overclocking and voiding your warranty, just sharing my experiences.

Significantly, I'd estimate that overclocked z9 is running at under 500W.

Again, this. It's like saying Mac Minis are a conspiracy because Mac Pros exist.

I would love a second confirm on Suprnova ZEN. No Suprnova pools worked for me when I was testing but I honestly don't remember if I tested ZEN, so it may totally work (and I'm not doubting the poster, just very curious). I'm currently mining on a very small pool (coinblockers BTG) and I want to keep supporting so I probably won't be testing for at least a day or two unless something important comes up, so maybe someone else can test the current requests and confirm/try the current failed ones...
