I don't think there is any good coin in the central processing unit except Monroe, anybody agree?
ETN is easy enough, more the price drops easier it gets, just hold till next time they ramp it |

I mine cryptonite but using water cooled threadripper, I wouldn't bother with an i3, you would probably get about 75h/s per core at best and generate mainly heat.

Thanks for the reply, now running Asus Prime board with threadripper. Currently got 2 Vega FE in PCIe slots for solid 5+k h/s poolside cryptonight stable over several weeks at 560W (not optimised and vega soc limited to 1107) I have 2 further FE not plugged in yet but come easter I will strip them and add my openloop waterblocks to have 4 FE plus threadripper watercooled, aiming for 9 to 10+kh/s. Thanks for the warning on 5 vega  |

At monerobenchmarks there is some one stating a 1800H/s for a threadripper 1950x, anyone as a clue how to achieve this numbers?
I get between 1000 and 1200, 1300 peak. I just leave it running and it varies overtime but I tend not to worry about pc side hashing any more, I look at poolside hash rate. Since I compiled my own miner and took out mining fee it is much more stable and performant. Not sure I believe 1800H/s. I just use out of box settings and no overclocking |

where do you even get a vega card nowadays?
ebay? picked up a vega fe for £850 at the weekend, cheaper than new , plenty of sapphire there |

I had a Gigabyte z170 board and that shared a m.2 adapter slot with a pcie lane so if you used the m.2 adapter the adjacent pcie lane couldn't be used. Hence it depends where you put your graphics card, since you have a Z170 board I would check your user manual for limitations

I'm using a threadripper with 2 Vega Frontier, currently making about 1000 per week or just under, I have 4 FE (just bought 1 off ebay) so will be adding a further 2 come easter holidays when I'll have more time and then they will be watercooled and further overclocked. Planning holding till the price is right since I'm well paid and short term money is no object. Not a typical budget rig but I made loads on ether so ROI is no object, just mining as a hobby now

I use electroneum.hashvault.pro averaging just under 5200H/s at pool so just over 10 times your rate. I was getting 130+ per day but now between 110-20, min 50 payment, so I would expect you could get 5 or 6 in 10hrs, but depends on your pool, some are naff

interesting thread, my understanding is Blake-256 is one of the 5 algos in Cryptonight so surely if Vega's are good on Cryptonight they should murder Blake-256 or Blake2
Just doodling with Blake G function for my own understanding...

don't use Cast. get the opensource XMR-Stak, take out dev fee and recompile Much faster and more stable, no pool switching. results are reflected at the pool. eg 24hr average = 5.12kh/s for 2 vega fe and 1950x cpu. been running non stop for 2 weeks  |

I compiled my own and took out dev fee, devs had several months of my fees anyway - not difficult
It appears to me much faster and stable - I'm constantly averaging over 5k poolside over 24hrs on 2 vega and threadripper. I was always suspicious of poolswitching.

My cpu is already watercooled and I'm adding open loop water cooling to the 3 vega FE's this weekend, hopefully temp shouldn't be an issue in the summer

Thanks for sharing your findings. It is strange to see people jumping on your thread aggressively, trying to stop you... If they have really better strategy, why are they angry about you? Doubting about their real motivation...
For me, I still prefer mining some minor cryptonight coins hoping to have better gains but I am very interested by your experimentations on eth: it is always better to have more options.
By the way did you manage you goals with vega FE on cryptonight?
I hope you will continue your thread...
trying to find the time for more trial and error using only one FE i have succesfuly coded 4 threads which are being recognised by the miner without fail i have tweeked the intensities for each thread in an diminishing scale playing around with memory alocations, batch sizes etc almost there but not i dunno hahah, and yes i will post the info here FOR FREE when i get the first hashrate confirm on all 4 threads This is great, if this works it will make mining accessible and profitable to almost everyone, not everyone has the willingness/financial possibility/knowledge to build a multi GPU mining rig, but almost everyone ca buy a PC with a Vega FE GPU in it and start mining. You sir are doing great work here, please keep it up, I never considered mining until I've read this thread because I don't want to build a multiple GPU mining rig, butiIf this works I'll buy a VEGA FE PC and start. Thank you! I thought this was really interesting today, since if your're mining for real you might want be actually mining to make real money everyday. Based on a 6 card Vega rig ETH Hashrate = 275 <-- extremely overclocked mem Based on a 6 card Vega rig Cryptonight Hashrate = 12020 <-- Lightly overclocked mem ETH estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.0244 x $837.9 = $20.44 BTC estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.00290 x $8326.0 = $23.72 (just using nicehash) Thanks Whattomine! Also Free Wisdom from Geek Mark who showed you can have 6 Vega FE's running now at 2100 H/s per card without much OC'ing (1100mhz mem) getting 12,390h/s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUrt7DgSiDMAlso new update from CAST XMR shows a 1% performance boost for FE cards Cast XMR Version 0.8.5 (2018/02/07) - 1% performance gain for Vega Frontier Edition with Blockchain driver (fastest GPU around) - 1% performance improvement with current stock driver (18.1.1) for RX Vega 56/64 (40% to go to reach Blockchain driver performance) - fix for random blocking console output - GPU now always logs with its device id not the order they are listed in the -G argument - --log option to log console output to a file - remote access includes CORS support in HTTP header Download Cast XMR 0.8.5 for Windows (64bit) cast_xmr-vega-win64_085.zip SHA256: 800af3739896c1012605217632a7ffa962abbb0ecd11370cfbc15e4b21a09015 Imagine the profits! agreed, although I'm currently using xmr-stak but working on my own modified version for research purposes essentially what I do then convert ETN to ETH at exchange |

Any news about 4 threads on FEs cards on cryptonight?
I use 2x 2016 which gets me 2000-2100 although I have had higher. (sometimes get silly high one off numbers eg 2400, 2500 - same on pool, not sure if the hashing is averaged and displayed wrong) If I use higher than 2016 performance usually degrades If I use 4 threads I get worse performance gpuz shows only 8gb of ram used, not sure if it is a card issue or miner issue |

for what its worth, 2 vega plus cpu gives me just over 5000H/s on average at the pool.
I get about 1000 ETN a week plus or minus a few. (sometimes XMR)
In mid Jan ETN was over 15c, now it is 5c so I'm getting on paper about $200pm now but can be as high as $600 if the price is right
I'm not selling now since I don't have to, but when I do I will trade for ether like I did before

Thank you Bill.  That’s a repsonse I was looking for. I build my custom computers to last 10+ years for my graphic rendering and 4k video editing/blending. So, while they are “overkill” to many of these “full of themselves” individuals that can’t read, I said removing all market movement and volatility could the rig turn a profit? Again, these tools think I’m here to make money/living off this stuff. I’m just looking to possibly recoupe some of my expenses on a system that I’m building regardless of mining. Also to the arrogant ‘bolding’ individual a few posts up...guess you can’t read posts or you’d have realized your posts are irrelevant as another answered my questions w/o your smart ass remarks. (About Litecoin being on ASCI.) Thanks for your arrogant time though. *thumbs up* no worries, I'm mining as a hobby, r&d etc but planning on using my kit for multiple other things. I started just under a year ago and if I'd listened to the advice I wouldn't have started ethereum mining as the general internet advice was mining was dead. I did mine and I didn't sell when everyone said sell at at various 'bubble levels' and at the peak last month I was in second hand lambo territory. Ask advice but no one really knows what the future holds (I pay cash for kit though, no credit). Looking for $2.7k ether target by end of year |

Hello. I’m new to the Crypto Curency realm and wanted to know if my rig would be profitable in mining Crypto’s like Litecoin or others. My rig is (or will be once I build it for personal use and to use for mining as well) as follows: Motherboard: ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s GFX Cards: (x4) EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Hybrid 11GB GDDR5X (Liquid Cooled) CPU: AMD RYZEN Threadripper 1920X 12-Core/24 Threads 3.5 GHz, 180W RAM: G. SKILL Trident Z RBG Series 128 GB (8 x 16 GB) I am wondering if my rig would be “profitable”? I’m not building it solely for mining, but if it would turn a good profit over time...I may let it run as one to at least pay off my initial expenses of building it...then I could use it for personal use once I recoupe my initial investment per-say. Thoughts on how this system would do?? Thank you greatly for all your assistance to this noobie! I get what you are saying, I have a similar setup using x399 and threadripper with 3 vega frontier of which I have 2 running and 64gb ram, I'm waiting on my openloop water cooling to be delivered and I'll add the third card. I already made a good profit on etherium to cover my fantasy computing needs many times over. I don't rely on mining for a living and my kit is tax deductable, I'm well paid so my rig is for mining and other compute hobbies, R&D etc. I mine cryptonight coins and yes you can make cash that will offset your costs although it will take many months but it depends on current prices which are lower than they were at the moment. If you treat it like a hobby then go for it, may make a few $K pa, will it make you rich, not unless you embark on a ultra high risk mining and trading strategy PS I sold off my etherium rig for a profit when I replace r9 390's with vega's |

threadripper 1950x gets about 1200H/s out of box un-optimised, also got 3 Vega FE plugged into it, only using 2 at the moment, hashing at over 2000 each, waiting for open loop water cooling parts to turn up before sticking third card in
results are reflected at pool
