Likely there were a bunch of miners that had failed to upgrade and got booted of the network. I can see the network hash rate dropping. This is to be expected. However, what it means for miners that did upgrade is that it will be easier for them to mine whilst the rest of the miners get their act together. So I am not surprised you haven't see much change in your income.
Block time is coming down now too (it isn't instantaneous) so that will give you a short term boost until the other miners get their act together.
In the end, you shouldn't expect to see much of a change in how much you earn.
yeah i switched my nvidia rigs to eth from Zcash for now to take advantage of the lower diff currently haave 5 six card 1070 rigs each card 29 mhs eth and 40 mhs LBR its more profitable than Zcash atm |

Did someone experience a hard drop in valid shares ?? Running claymore + ethermine
I did not touch anything.... 15 hours ago Many Many ethermine pool switches happened , failovers, current hashrate divided by 2, very high rejected and stale shares... on my 7 rigs... I'm using eu1.ethermine.org on port 14444 and 4444
Need help atm
I am using Claymore (Eth+Dcr) on ethermine eu pool. Nothing changed for me : no more rejected shares, hashrate still at 31.3 mh/s per card, no pool disconnection... Maybe try to restart your rigs. 31.3 mhs per card ? what cards are those? Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 8GB. Get 31.3+ eth and 935+ dcr thats pretty insane, how much power are you using ? I have a Sapphire RX570 Nitro 8GB. and i get 29.8 mhs eth , dont dual mine though but dual mine with dcri 25 I saw 29.6 mhs and 800 dcr 150 watt total was too high for me, solo eth is 130 watt |

On nanopool. My shares are down since the fork from 100 avg to 65-80.
Will see if things improve in 24hrs
Mining calculators have still not been updated difficulty is down around 30% but the blocktimes are still high. Shares are the same for me, I went from a 2 day expected payout time on eth solo pool to 6 hours overnight but the payout calcs did not move much, I have a feeling things will not change much |

I have 10 rigs
sometimes i want to reboot all the rigs and start mining with a different app or different software
Or i create a new claymore or ethminer batch file i want to push to all rigs and then run that on all the rigs after they are rebooted.
Is there any chance you would be adding something similar for windows to your app ? It does not have to be on mobile
your software looks great atm but I am sure it could do alot more to make managing multiple rigs easier on windows.

Hash rate on eth solo pool dropped from 3 TH to 2.4 just now I think some rigs are failing, is there a new DAG too ? This might explain the difficulty drop  |
|
|

The difficulty at block 4369999 was 2997.274 T.
The difficulty of block 4370224 (mined just a few minutes before I typed this) is 2634.238 T.
So the difficulty is already going down noticeably and the fork only happened about 90 minutes ago. By tomorrow we should see more clearly where it will settle, and as was mentioned above the pools should have better profitability estimates by then as well.
Yeah I noticed the difficulty is dropping as well down 8% since the fork , so looks like I was correct If we have a nice difficulty adjustment as well as a block time reduction they might be right in saying profitability could will be back to where it was around august/sept hold on to your hats folks |

Pre-fork the block times were hovering around 25-30 seconds, so dropping down to 15 seconds per block is a definite improvement. Even with the block reward reduced, 3 ETH every 15 seconds is 12 ETH issued per minute, which is quite favorable to the little over 10 (5 every 25-30 sec) issued per minute before. Maybe not quite 30% increase promised, but then again we haven't seen a full days worth of blocks produced yet under the new rules to really get a feel for the true block-times.
I see, though the block time would go down right after the fork.... Correct, it has already gone down a little and the blocks are being produced faster but it might take some time to get a true measure of the average speed. I just noticed that uncles are now the same reward as a full block reward too. yeah its quite funny now, we are basically mining uncles now , the really fucked us with the block reward reduction , I think it should have been 3.5 eth not 3 will the difficulty drop is the big question ? I assumed that the diff increase was also due to the ice age as well. btw uncle rate is still going to be the same , and uncles have always been around 3 eth so I dont see how that helps anything |

I've seen reports that Bitmain is offering refunds to late November customers because they need to extend the delivery dates. Thoughts?
The way they were selling so many units you just knew this was comming, I want to refund my 10 units for bitcoin miners |

https://blog.ethereum.org/2017/10/12/byzantium-hf-announcement/damn those buggers 3 eth reward now instead of 5 15 sec block time I though they promised 12  The promise profitability will go back to October rates so an increase of about 30% from what the difficulty bomb took from us, but that remains to be seen. Personally I hope metaverse price keeps climbing so i can move my rigs to that. Who is going to compensate us for 4 months of 30% less earnings

I have 3 miners on ethermine, my reported hashrate is 555 mh/s.
NB: I just switched a miner on dwarfpool to see if I have the same result... I will let you know.
Rather than hashrate, look at the income. Friend of mine have done a 3 month test and he told me on dwarfpool, the hashrate was 10% to 20% higher hashrate than ethermine and yet ethermine payout was 10 to 20% higher than dwarfpool. So what is the point of an amazing hashrate and poor payout. I then did some tests and my tests were similar to my friend. You should never mine at these pools, dwarfpool, miningpoolhub, suprnova and many other pools are scams. what about DCR , supernova are they scamming that too ? |

I like windows , sicne i use my machines for other purposes like web hosting file servers etc Its just this certain board that is giving me these strange issues with undervolting cards . I dont think i will order any more. What version AMD drivers are you using? Also have you tried something other than afterburner to undervolt - soft power play table or overdriventool? I seem to be able to undervolt my Vega in Windows with the beta blockchain drivers and the soft power play table mod and I have this motherboard. HWinfo at least shows lower volts and watt meter displays lower power draw. His cards may not work and yours do. I used to mine with so many amd cards. And weird shit can happen. Still op should try smos and nvoc0019 and not run huge mining rigs with windows . I run a five card rig on Windows .and 7 Linux rigs I have 20 rigs all running windows with no problems , I cant see myself switching to linux now , and I like afterburner for tweaking vs having to use claymore or some other tools to undervolt. I have serveral 8 card rigs and one 9 card rig using the Asus 270 boards that work fine I just thing these mining expert boards like you said are hard wired for Linux ? |

I like windows , sicne i use my machines for other purposes like web hosting file servers etc Its just this certain board that is giving me these strange issues with undervolting cards . I dont think i will order any more. I have some miners on widows and some on smos the board you mention is meant to use linux builds not windows 10 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4S86DX6876&cm_re=asus_b250_mining_expert_hd-_-13-119-028-_-ProductI am hesitant to call this board DOA, but this is my 10 mining rig I have built, and never had an issue from MSI or ASUS, but I have tested this thing with 2 different PSU that are working, and the board will not turn on. Is there anything special I need to do for this to behave like a typical motherboard? zach m on Sep 26, 2017 BEST ANSWER: If you are using regular non-mining cards, this motherboard will not start with more then 13 GPUs. Reply Inaccurate Andrew V on Oct 11, 2017 If using powered risers is there still a need to run 3 ATX to the MOBO? I noticed each ATX connects to ~6 PCI slots. Does each ATX signal the GPU's to power on when the MOBO initiates boot? A shopper on Sep 26, 2017 BEST ANSWER: The MB is sectioned off into 3 zones (1-3); each zone makes up 6 pcie x1 slots with the 1 pcie x16 slot being assigned to last zone (zone 3); each zone of the the motherboard will require sufficient power per the number of gpus attached via risers (yes, even powered risers). From my experience, the 4pin (molex) atx plugs need to be supplied power via the primary power supply from zone 1 if you are powering gpus in zone 2 and/or 3; it appears to trigger startup/shutdown to each of other power supplies. If you had less than 6 gpus, you could power this power with a single power supply, or if you have only a few small power supplies you could split out your gpus accross all 3 zones ... OR you could go big and power the whole damn board. Happy mining  I have tried 8 Nvidia Cards with 8 AMD cards and it would not boot. The max it would take is 13 cards and it would go into windows. However when trying to run claymore it would only detect 8 nvidia and none of the 5 amd cards. Just hangs. Is it because I am using only 4gb ram? Disconnecting the 5 remaining amd cards and claymore works just fine with the 8 nvidia cards. Hashrates are sitting at about 19 per card which is less than typical Does anyone have any advice?
A shopper on Oct 15, 2017
BEST ANSWER: It has nothing to do with your ram, you're running Windows aren't you? Using Linux it's plug & play, no issues with any cards. Windows is not for large scale/professional mining with that many GPUs.Is it possible to run 19 GPUs? I assume the 16 GPU limitation comes from the number of PCIE lanes available on the CPU? Alfred S on Sep 19, 2017 BEST ANSWER: It is possible to run all 19 GPU's, the above quot of 16 GPU's actually refers to windows. With the drivers the way they are currently, Windows can run 8 x AMD GPU's and 8 x Nvidia GPU's so the total of 16. Now if you were to run linux, you can run 19 of any kind. But most mining specific OS's or the mining softwares do not yet support such a large number of cards, so you may need a regular flavor of Linux, and would have to run multiple mines, maybe 10 amd GPU's mining Ethereum, and 9 Nvidia GPU's mining Zcash etc. MAN thats good to know thanks for the timely information, I guess its the board I won't buy any more. I dont even want to do more than 10 cards not the full 16 but if i can't undervolt withoute using claymore or other software its not worth it for me to run these boards. Is there another board with lots of slots that can run up to 16 cards ? that works on windows ? |

Trying to replace my six gpu rigs with these boards I have two of them
everything seems to work , but when the its strange on both of these boards , rx 580 cards I cannot change voltages on afterburner with these boards
I have the latest bios and everything, so its not that. I have had other ASUS boards the 270-P boards and never seen this issue.
I also tried saphire trixx same deal , it does let you appear to change the voltages but when you look at the true voltage using GPU-Z its the same
any ideas ?

No way you briked it by just changing the ip, probabky need to do sometbing with thw hosts file ,
i know i had that issue with those miners in the past, just gooling helped me

I am using claymore so can't really help you. But I'll be watching to see if you manage to get working solution. I have only one rig with 4x1070 and claymore is working perfectly for me. I get around 31MH ETH and around 400MH for SIA. Running smoothly for about a month now.
From your bat file I am guessing you are using ATI cards because those first 5 lines doesn't do anything for nvidia. Good luck
Yup , Amd cards , I do have some nvidia cards but they are on Zec and equihash for now This issue with the dying rigs is AMD specific and Rx cards mostly , It started after the hash fix since versions 9.8. yes I could downgrade but even when claymore worked flawlesley I still dont like the fact that my rigs have to reload the dag twice every hour , once for dev fee once to connect back to the pool We are losing at least 3% of hash due to this and all that assumes a rig does not go down |

Anyone have experince with running cgminer or sgminer next to ethminer on the same PC? theoretically it should be easy , just run both and adjust the intensity on the dual coin and things should work fine but I am having a hard time finding a working version for either algo since everyone else seems to be using claymore. here is what I use for sgminer version 5.3.4 eth setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set host=%COMPUTERNAME%
echo %host%
FOR /f "tokens=1,2 delims=-" %%a IN ("%host%") do echo %%a& set hostid=%%b
echo %hostid%
sgminer-x64 -k decred -o http://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -u Rig.%hostid% -p x -I 8 -w 64 -g 2 it gets to the point where it loads the kernel and just freezes. Asto the reason I am switching I am of the belif that the stopping and starting of claymore for dev fee mining is detrimental to my rigs around 10 rigs I have been having issues with , where after a few hours sometimes 10 hours or so they either crash and reboot or I see cards mining at 8.3 mhs bascially sick/dead. After the switch to ethminer no such issues and i just donate one time and do not have to constantly deal with the dev fee |

VeriumReserve (VRM) is a decent CPU-only mining coin you might want to take a look at. I've been mining it the last couple of weeks. There is a pool and client downloads at http://vrm.poolinat0r.com. How much have you mined with a standard computer of this coin? The circulation is still very low. Great potential verium is very hard to mine i gave up |
