solo mining involves more hassle and needs more luck , still trying to find out what rpc stands for . can i just mine to a normal metaverse wallet?
by definition if you are solo mining you and doing RPC to you wallet ( Remote Procedure Call) if you dont want to solo use a pool and you dont even need to worry about RPC setups or a , just install the wallet and mine from the pool to the wallet. I have a larger hash rate so I need to find out how to solo mine. |

is there a legit mining calulator ? I tried a pool yesteday but it seems that Im getting far less than I should
|

installed the wallet and pointing my test machine to it using this command ( instructions that claymoregives for solo mining) but I get failed connection, its not firewall issues since i have them turned off EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool http://192.168.0.135:8545 -ftime 10 -allcoins 1 --mode 1 -tt 75 any idea ? 192.168.0.135 is the machine that my wallet is on |

can you solo mine to the wallet ? I see no info on how to do this
You would need to run the wallet and then set your miner to the rpc address of the wallet. thanks |

Doing my first water cooled mining rig. Using a semi parallel EK Quad block.  I'll drop a 6850K (40 PCIe lanes) in the X99 mobo so that each GPU can get 8 lanes. In my other rigs I have found that as I add GPUs, the amount I can overclock each one goes down. I'm going to see if its a PCEe lane issue, or some other CPU type bottleneck. This test rig should help determine that. It will look pretty too being all black and red coordinated.  be careful with those x99 motherboards, I have a two gigabyte ones with 6800cpus and 16gb ram for max lanes and still i could not get over 4 cards to run on those boards, tried AMD and Nvidia |

CPU vs GPU for mining.
Which would be better choice, a Ryzen 5/7 or rx 4xx/5xx, for cryptocurrency (Monero/Zcash/bitcoin...) mining?
Nvidia 1070 over both for monero i think |

those cards have a nice price but I would prefer something on the level of a 1070 vs a 1060 for a mining card at ther $270 price the charge for those.
I have seen 8GB rx 570 cards for $265 lately , not as good wattage and heat control though for that tiny board.
Are you are worried about putting nanos so close together ? I have 40 nanos dual mining eth and DCR and they run Hot as hell even in my new well cooled garage
73 degrees or so at 55% fan.
On the flip side 400 series cards run at 70 degrees 40% fan, I guess its not a huge difference. I would not like to place them so close together though.
The Nanos are modded with Heliox ROMs, -100mv undervolted and slightly overclocked, served me well close to 2 years now, ROIed at least 2 times ... glad I kept the Nanos - its a powerful ZEC GPU, come life after ETH. My GPU farm is in a high-ceiling leased warehouse, so cooling is pretty much under control. I can put them Nanos with razor thin spacing and get them cranked up within 70s temps - with back fans. The warehouse has 17 units - floor fans - blowing upwards to circulate heat towards the exhaust. I use 6 x huge industrial metal fans to redirect and exhaust out the hot air and aided by 2 x air extractor/blower units when temps hits the threshold. Will post pix if possible - but my co-investors are paranoid about sharing pix of the farm on the Internet.... LOL. I will take some pix discreetly. I noticed that GPU and mobo pricing are looking "normal" at Amazon and Newegg.... my suppliers in China are also doing more bundles now - I suspect they are overstocked. Oh i see your Nanos are modded and you have a great cooling setup so this might be a go to setup for you. Yeah my nanos are around a year old as well and have ROIED for sure. of the 30 i have only 1 ever died and RMAED it with no issues. The Nanos are modded with Heliox ROMs, -100mv undervolted and slightly overclocked, served me well close to 2 years now, ROIed at least 2 times ... glad I kept the Nanos - its a powerful ZEC GPU, come life after ETH. The dream setup for you and others like me who need more spacing between the larger CPUs are those colorful boards with 8 nicely spaced PCI-E slots. Will post pix if possible - but my co-investors are paranoid about sharing pix of the farm on the Internet.... LOL. I will take some pix discreetly. Yeah pics of your farm should not even be a big deal but you have to respect the wishes of your investors lol I feel u. |

on smOS - I got all 6 x GPUs started but needs a GPU with video output on the 1st PCI slot.
In my case, I want to use the P106-100 on this board.
If I use all P106 on this board, I get the following results - so back to square one.
....
If I take out the first GPU and replace it with another NVIDIA GPU with video out (an old EVGA 750ti 1051ti SC) - looks OK on smOS bootup but screen went black after smOS registration process.
It didnt look successful since I didnt see the rig appearing in the smOS dashboard.
The only time this P106s worked flawlessly was on Windows 10 with a special P106 NVIDIA setup package.
I will use the mSata SSD and get WIndows 10 running tomorrow.
If time permits, I will also get a 470 x 6 and 1070 x 6 rigs to use this board.
...
...
Looks like patience is a virtue... with a GPU w/video-out (EVGA-1050ti-SC) on Slot #1 and 5 x P106 - the board works normally - on smOS Linux. Will continue to work on RX470, R370, R9-Nanos, 1080ti and 1070s next. Below, ccminer v2.1 mining NH Cryptonight, barely 420watts total  [2017-10-10 15:22:04] GPU #5: Zotac P106-100, 279.94 H/s

You should keep a separate thread on your project, next year if prices on alts increase I am sure alot of folks would be interested in doing something similar |

im kinda new to mining is it still profitable with gtx 1070 or only if u have d3 is it worth to invest in it
It depends on whichever for you is profit. 15-20 USD per month after electricity cost deduction is it profitable for you? As for me it's not worth it. It's much better to invest directly in coins right now. thats per day dude wtf per month 20 on a D3 are u smoking crack ?? |

You ever thought about contacting you power company and getting commercial rates? The reason I say this is because the residential rates for my power company Duke Electricity is about $0.13 kWh maybe a little more after
taxes and other fees. If I was a commercial customer with "Demand Rates" meaning I will use 24,000 kWh a year which is simple I believe that is 24 KW (a year not month) I would pay about $10 a KW plus a fee of plus a set fee of about $12 delivery fee. So if my math is right at $10 KW that is .0138 kWh plus the delivery fee of $12 this is much cheaper then my current residential rate and I live in what looks like a more expensive power rate area than you so you may have a better deal on a commercial rate.
Ironically the commercial rate from my electric company would be the same or possibly higher. . lol theyre also proposing to raise both rates some so that's frustrating to say the least but ultimately I plan to grow enough to warrant an expansion into an area that will give me cheaper elec. Yeah same in my area, switching from residential to comerial Demand rates save me around 30% of what I am spending comercially, now I just have to figure out how to get all my gear moved , ask about the Demand service they also give discounts on bulk use or credits whatever they call it. |

either way this is a good thing since it splits off some hash to another fork

Dane, you’re definitely crazy. I love it man that is an epic project!
Clearly well thought out/ impressive
Do you have more on the actual mining farm ? It’s like I watched episode 1 and want to binge episode 2 lol
Man thats an insane solar project ! |

13548 kWH for August. Effective rate $0.08265
$1119.80
You should move. My last bill was under $600 (barely) for a bit over 13kwh usage. Hair under $0.046 all-up rate. thats a sick rate ill send a copy of my bill too to compare |

Hi,
I currently have a S9 and a D3, but want to build a GPU rig as theres not much fun or fettling with an Antminer.
Have been researching for the last few weeks online, trying to get an idea of the best GPU's to buy (6 to begin with) but a lot of the information seems relevent to the day it was written.
If you had to replace your rig today, which GPU's would you buy?
Am leaning towards GTX 1050's 6GB, but not sure if there is any difference between single fan units or manufactures.
As RX 4 series seem near impossible to buy at the moment am ruling them out, unless anyone knows a model/supplier to recommend? (UK)
Thanks
Rx 570 4gb for 240 or so low power decent hash I would personally go for rx 580 8gb to futue proof a bit for $300 best bang per buck or go with 1070 nvidia current the most versatile card out there but its $400 |

Hello guys, Phil, feel free to remove this if you want - my main account 'dragonmike' was apparently hacked, and got auto-banned when I tried to recover it using the secret password. Nice feature, that... As I have posted in here several times, I was hoping some helpful soul would be able to point me to the right way of asking for my account to be restored. I've pm'd hilariousandco, mprep and theymos with signed messages, so far nothing...  same thing happend to me, legendary acct with 2k posts , I jyst said fuck it |

I decided against the intake fan returned it and saved some $$ , even with just two fans going the 100 GPUs are super cool now
room temp is 60 degrees or so .
What I also noticed is with the door closed , the static pressure of two fans actually turns the third fan into an intake fan !!
So I figure if I seal the room completely I can get two fans to work as intakes anyways as needed and the remaining four as exhuast.
I can also now run another six fans as needed down the line for a total of 18000CFM exhuast.
I calculated that with even six fans and 9000CFM using the 400/CFM per ton calc thats almost equivalent to a 21TON AC at a fraction of the install and ussage cost.
If it gets bad in the summer even with 12 fans I can throw in an EVAP cooler , so I should be set to max out my 600AMP service now
Thanks all for the tips , especially Phill.
I will post final pics when we complete the install.
That's a nice setup you have there man, congrats and well done on all the hard work getting it setup. It sounds like you should be doing pretty well for cooling and airflow now.  @Elder thanks , hopefully the documentation pics and tips from other folks like Phill et all help others who have the same issues with garage mining. Airflow is great right now but like they say in this mining game , summer is what separates the men from the boys . I still think Phill is right that I need some sort of intake at some point , but for now I won't fix whats not broken until I start noticng issues. I will also post more pics as progress continues. Today we did some cable management on the rafters and we found one fan that was not properly seated and was leaking air. Will fix that tomorrow. Pictures to come as well. |
