hey guys, I moved one of my miners to ETN today, wanted to give it a try.
I'm getting 3200Mh with 4 RX580 which is OKayish, using Claymore miner, however after running the miner for more than an hour, nanopool shows me a really low balance, like 1.3 ETN. That's waaaay lower than whattomine's numbers.
So what's the deal? I never mined anything but ETH before. Is there a different reward system here that I should know about?

Hey guys!
I finally set up my first AMD rig with 4 RX580's (8Gb). I only had nVidias until now.
I have a question regarding dual mining.
Right now, I'm running Claymore, dual mining ETH + DCR. I'm getting pretty good hashrates, around 30Mh ETH/ 900Mh DCR per card (120Mh/3600MH total and undervolted to 850mv) however on DCR.suprnova I'm having a much lower balance than I should. According to whattomine I should be getting 0.037 DCR after 24 hrs, but I had only 0.311 DCR after running it for 25 hrs straight.
Right now, after 48 hrs I have like only 0.06DCR (instead of 0.075). That's 20% less than I should be getting. Way too much difference.
I do have a few rejected shares like 1% - 1,5% but the difference still seems too much!
Do you know if suprnova DCR pool is reliable? Am I missing something? Maybe you guys know a better DCR pool?
Or maybe I should just forget dual mining DCR and go for Lbry or SIA instead? (DCR seems convinient bcs impact on ETH hashrate is minimal).
What say you?

Guys, i have a question. When you flash the bios on 6 cards that are in the same rig, how do you do it?
Do you remove them all and start one by one. Do you flash them when they are on the raisers? Or you have to insert them in the mobo?
I always remove them all and do it one by one, plugged to the mobo without raisers.
The safest way is one by one without risers, directly on the motherboard |

OK, so I have a mixed GPU minning rig, with 3x 1060 and 3x 1070.
Is it OK, to start 2 instances of claymore, one with dual mining on the GTX 1070 and one with solo mining for the 1060s ?
(right now I'm limited by my PSU, and it won't handle 6GPU in dual mining mode)
you can do better than that. for example the following will disable dual mining for GPUs 0,1,2 : -mode 1-012 thanks much appreciated!  |

OK, so Amazon decided to send me 4 RX580 that I ordered back in july/august Since then I built only nVidia mining rigs, but now I decided to give it a go with RX 580s, but it is completely new territory for me... For now, I got 2 XFX RX580 GTS 8Gb XXX editions, one with Samsung and one with Hynix memory. The cards have a small microswitch for dual BIOS, so I switched to the so called mining BIOS. The thing is I'm not exactly happy with the card's performance, as I understand they should hit 30 Mh/s easily while solo mining with Claymore Here are the facts: - I installed the latest radeon drivers, and made sure that it was set to compute workload (I'm using Win10 and Claymore 10.1 btw.) - I didn't update the BIOS yet, since they are supposed to have Mining BIOSes already (As advertised by XFX) - The one equipped with Samsung RAM can reach 30Mh/s with heavy OC (1250/2230, and no undervolt). Undervolting to 925mV in MSI AB drops performance to 28,5Mh/s) - Hynix card is even worse, around 27Mh/s and setting power limit or voltage in MSI AB doesn't seem to have any effect, it stays above 1000mV (1150/2200). - I checked the BIOS of the card with SAMSUNG RAM, and it has the same strap for 1750 and 2000 so I don't know how could I finetune the memory timings - Right now the 2 GPU's are in my gaming PC, the top one is getting pretty hot around 75 celsius (this won't be a problem once I move the cards to an open air rig.) Any suggestions/tips would be welcome |

Hey guys,
(How) Can I set up Claymore miner to use only certain GPU's?
For example I want to use GPU0 for gaming, while GPU1 and GPU2 will be mining.
Use this switch "-di", from the OP.. -di GPU indexes, default is all available GPUs. For example, if you have four GPUs "-di 02" will enable only first and third GPUs (#0 and #2). Using your GPU example: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal YourAddress.YourWorkerName -epsw x -dpool -di 12 This will use GPU1 and GUP2 to mine and not use GPU0 to mine. Thank you so much for the answer! Much appreciated! |

you mean on ethermine pool or in general?
I do not know which pools affected but many posts surfaced with a lot of stale shares in mining eth I suggest you try nanopool and see if the problem still persist will try that,thanks |

Hey guys, For a while now I have some very high stale shares and I don't know why. (up to 20-25/hr, that's like 12-14%). See attached screenshot! So I have a rig with 6 GPU's (3x 1060 and 3x 1070) I'm using Claymore miner solo mining ETH on Ethermine pool. My reported hashrate for this rig is 169Mh, but dropping to 159-161Mhs effective because of the stale shares. Here are some other facts: - After starting the miner I get good response times when sending shares (78ms) but after an hour or two this goes up to 125ms and then up to 200-300ms
- I'm connected to EU server since I'm from EU, but also tried US server (still a lot of stale shares)
- My [wired!] internet connection is fine, I tried resetting my router just to be sure.
- There is nothing downloading in the background or on other devices, and the mining rig is used for mining only (fresh Win10).
- Everything was fine a few days ago
See attached screenshot:  |

Thanks guys! I installed Teamviewer and it works great, both from my Android phone and my iPad

OK, so I set up remote desktop. Turns out I don't need MS account for it, however the setup was a bit complicated since, I will not be on the same network with my desktop (so I needed to enable port forwarding).
Anyway all is good and all, but I just realized that I won't be able to access my remote desktop if my router reboots (in case of a power outage for example) because it's public IP will change every time it resets. Is there a way around this issue?

Hey guys!
I'm going on a vacation and I was wondering what's the best way to control/check on my miner using a Android phone or an iPad?
My miner is running Windows 10, and it has an offline user account.
I think there is an app on the Play Store (android) called RD Client that can connect you to your WIndows 10 PC, however I think it needs a Microsoft account for that, which I would rather avoid...

Hi... I have decided to build a 3 GPU mining rig with the GTX 1070 cards. However I am confused as to which brand should I buy or does it not make a difference? Can versions marked 'oc' only be over locked or can others also be overclocked? What is the difference? Kindly help
I am planning on getting an MSI Armor GTX 1070. Starting with ETH/Zcash and moving totally to Zcash once ETH goes POS. Any recommendations as to better makes of GTX 1070 cards? Kindly help out a newbie...
And I don't understand why some cards are more costly than the others😥 I'm from India and I have a price difference of 11,000 between the Armor 8gb OC and the Rog strix version....
Kindly explain the differences?
Thanks in advance,
Akaash
All GTX 1070 can be overclocked, some more than the others. 'OC' in the name of the card means it's factory overclocked, but that factory overclock is usually so small that all other cards can obtain the same clocks. Some cards cost more than the others because of brand, cooling solution, and factory overclock settings. Next time you are talking about a price difference in your contry make an effort and convert it to USD or EUR, cuz it don't mean shit to most ppl, and everybody is lazy to google it, so now you are left without an answer regarding if its worth it or not. Anyway, if the price diff. is too much, most probably it isnt worth it, unless you can't stand the sound and heat comming from a card equipped with a weaker cooling solution |

Man...so much negative energy on this post! OP...how soon will you be able to get your rig up and running? If you are fine with not getting immediate returns, then I will highly recommend building your rig and start mining and hold on to mined coins.
Let me share my experience from 2014, I mined Monero (XMR) for about 5 months in summer (using 1x R9 290X+ 2x R9 280X) and finally quit around Thanksgiving because the XMR price was shit. However, I held on to those coins and finally sold them last September, when we had a big XMR spike and recovered the money I paid for my gaming PC (~$2k)! Had I kept on mining during 2015 - early 2017, I would have made much more, as many of my friends did mining ETH. But hindsight is 20-20. Anyways, what I have learned from that experience is that always think about the long game and price of cryptocurrency (if it is any good) will rise eventually and you need to be patient.
Good luck!
Thank you for your input! Well the GPUs I ordered are coming in one by one, so who knows? According to the online store, I will get the last two of the five by august 10. Anyway I'm already mining with my 5 nVidia cards now (2x 1070 and 2x 1060). I'm not expecting immediate returns, but it's true that I'm making this investment from my credit card (although with a 0% interest for 12 months, IE: $1200 = $100/month for 12 months). I made my calculations back in mid june when I decided to go for the mining, and back then I calculated a ROI of about 4 months, since ETH was around $350. Right now I'm hoping for a ROI of 8 to 10 months just to have a good sleep after and then I can play the long game, hold on to coins without a worry and such. My problem however is not with the mining itself, but with the future of these RX580 as mining cards. A 30% hash rate drop was already announced for AMD cards, and it's still under a question mark if AMD will (or can) do something about it. There is also the question if like in 6 months or so ETH will be profitable to mine (in general, not just with AMD GPUs) due to difficulty increase . If it wont be profitable, then I will regret not going the nVidia way, since those cards seem to perform better at other cryptos. |

lol tune out all the clueless people?
OP is clueless himself and is too lazy to spend his own time researching to find out its obviously a bad idea to get involved because of a distorted perception caused by the recent spike in mining profitability, much less come up with his own opinion.
ask yourself this simple question: are you ok with making nowhere near the returns we've seen and don't mind doing it as a hobby? if so, then dive right in. Because you are LATE.
But if this endeavor was something you were really passionate about you'd have spent your own precious time on due diligence to arrive at this conclusion.
Of course this is not the case. You are just a lazy johnny come lately who thinks he can shortcut and leapfrog off other people's time and efforts, expecting others to serve you useful information on a silver platter.
Lump me into the angry reply category because you had to mention you preordered gpus and now thinking about cancelling it. That is infuriating!
Either get up to par and realize there's no easy money in this or accept that you are always a step behind and consider it reasonable to receive poor results from your lazy efforts.
Yes I'm new, but not clueless...if I was clueless I wasn't asking questions. And I'm asking questions because since I've joined this board I see all kinds of people, some of them naysayers, some of them encouraging. Lots of different opinions. Oh yeah and I didn't mention but this won't be my first mining rig. I already have a rig with 5 nVidia cards running. |

i tell you what, go fuck yourself, that's best thing you can do, and similar noobs like you tooo
all i can can see is profitable unprofitable, roi, ad so on, round and round
no interest in technologiest, no interset in anything just tell me right hihere right now
how to build cash mashine doing money from thin air,
so again GTFO...
I suggest you cancel your order and buy half as many overpriced Nvidia cards for the same money. That way someone that knows what they're doing can buy the AMD cards.
nice to see so helpful users around this forum. you probably came out of mothers wombs as crypto-mining experts... |

Hi guys!
I have some pre-ordered RX580 that should be arriving soon after waiting for them about 3-4 weeks. I'm buying them at (let's say) normal retail price here in the EU.
However lately, I'm hearing all kind of talks, that ETH will most probably be unprofitable to mine in a month or two, and AMD GPU's are not that good at mining other altcoins. Although as I have seen RX580s are performing about the same as GTX 1060 when mining ZEC for example.
I do have a pretty good deal on the electricity costs, not exactly free though.
Here are my fears and doubts:
- ETH will be unprofitable to mine in a few months, especially if ETH/USD parity will drop
- I don't see a backup altcoin to mine at a good profit with these AMD cards. Maybe ZEC but nV cards seem to be more effective at this
- I could switch to ETC after ETH becomes unprofitable but that's probably what most AMD owners will do, and that will drive the difficulty up in a very short time
- after the 1st of august BTC hardfork might have a negative impact on the whole crypto market, and prices will go down
- AMD Vega is knocking on our door. It might be a lot more effective than the current Polaris chipset. (although leaks say it's rated at a 300W TDP so unless it can pull a really good hashing power, it won't be a good GPU for mining)
Long story short I'm thinking about cancelling my orders, since I'm afraid that I wont be able to ROI my GPUs anytime soon. 5-6 months seem acceptable, but unless ETH prices will go waaaay up, I don't see how could I ROI under 10-12 months.
Then again I might regret cancelling the order in august if everything turns out to be OK, and I will have to wait another 4 weeks for some GPU's.....Ideally I should wait till august to see what happens to the market, but my GPUs will start arriving next week and it's freakin hard here in the EU to find GPUs right now. Changing my order to nVidia cards is not an option, since it's almost impossible to buy a GPU in the EU.
What would you do?
