21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RagerX - New All-In-One Monero (XMR) RandomX Miner on: December 12, 2019, 12:49:42 PM
Straight from their Web site:

Quote
RagerX is an all-in-one RandomX Mining Solution
So what is RagerX? It is a miner, an operating system, and a pool.

RagerX is built from the ground up to make RandomX mining easy. We provide an optimized miner that boots off a thumbdrive, and an integrated mining pool. We also provide a flasher utility to make the process of setting up RagerX simple.

All of our pool interfaces are built as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) which means you can install the pool interface directly to your desktop or mobile device. You're able to easily view your miner status from anywhere in the world. We even have a Telegram bot to notify you when something changes.

Most of all, RagerX is the fastest RandomX miner available. Due to our optimized mining operating system, we can deliver up to a 10% speed increase. Your miner will even automatically update when new optimizations become available.

Seen this already, but not sure I understand the value proposition - this is only useful for a dedicated CPU mining rig, which current XMR pricing and reward makes unprofitable, unless I'm missing something?

Switch the firmware to braiins OS and do the suggested above again.

The suggested above should be work because bitmain has a guide that you need to test the hashboard one by one so it means it should run even one hashboard. You might be have a faulty hashboard that is why you are getting error when running one hashboard. Try to use Braiins OS or check your Ethernet connection.

S9's should run fine on any number of boards, suggest testing each one in turn to find the dead one.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to start mining if I have free eletric? on: December 03, 2019, 09:52:46 AM
There are 2 ways to mine. One is with GPU mining and the other is with something called an ASIC.

If you want to use your computer, then you need to buy some type of mid-range GPU like an RX 570 at least and you can mine ETH with that. Profitability is very low at the moment keep in mind, like $0.25/day/gpu. If you got a modern type of PC then most likely your motherboard has at least 2 slots so you can at the very least have 2 GPUs in there. There are some motherboards you can buy that got up to 12 slots or so just dedicated for mining.

An ASIC is basically simpler to set up. You basically buy something called an Antminer S9 and just plug it in and you are all set. All you need to do is pick a pool and a payment address and just leave it running. They are VERY LOUD like a Vacuum cleaner keep in mind. But they are pretty compact and don't take up too much room. Besides the ASIC you will need sometype of PSU. Some sellers might include a PSU with the purchase however.

There are many guides and youtube vidoes these days on how to mine. Just search and it will show you step by step the process.

Well, there's also CPU mining (RandomX and others), and FPGA mining. TBH there are a lot of variables these days, even given the benefits of 'free' power.

Noise is a big one - if it's 'free power' in an abandoned factory, chuck in a load of dirt cheap rocket engine asics. If it's 'free power' in your uni dorm, then a CPU miner will be better/quieter/more useful for study too. Either way, check exactly what the circuit is before trying to load it up - 'free power' often means money hasn't been spent on the system, which in turn means the breakers will trip/wiring will burn.

This device isn't worth the cost today, but perhaps once they roll out lightning network/interest-earning features I'd reconsider.

But $700 is too much for anyone to pay for the Coinmine One

Well placed 'influencer video' though, they're really putting the work in on the promo front.

I think he's implying that stock AMD drivers are diverting XMR hash to a 'botnet' and his magic drivers/hack prevents that.

Quite how that makes any kind of sense in reality is another matter, but I bet clicking that link is a bad idea...

27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: High Hashrate ethereum with high electricity cost on: October 24, 2019, 03:33:56 PM
Hello, i don't pay electricity cost so i want to find the most powerful GPU to mine ethereum even if the electricity cost is pretty high. Graphic card around 200-300$
Thank you

RX400 series are like nothing online, 50$USD per some places used
get a bunch of them maybe, they do average 30mh/s
Power you say is not an issue so even get 580's if they are cheap, as they will do maybe 10% more hash

if power not an issue go AMD imo, Nvidia cards hold value well and are still expensive to flat out purchase Sad

Totally agree - also look out for the sapphire rx470 mining versions, they're now dirt cheap. Just obviously harder to resell, but they'll give 30+mh/s each...
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: how much etherium can 5 cards of 30 mh/s can make per month ? on: October 14, 2019, 02:48:28 PM
Its very rare for a mining rig to burn a house down, especially end up killing someone while they sleep. You need to be reasonable.

-snip-

So as you can see, usually the rig will power off when there is an issue. And most people if not everybody due to fire codes needs a smoke detector in their place. So if a mining rig actually starts a fire, the smoke detector will wake you up and you can either put the  fire off yourself or just run outside.

But I agree with you, for little profit sometimes its best to just sell the GPU rather than deal with the headaches of when they crash in the middle of the night and you have to reboot them.

It maybe safe in the 1st world fire-alam ridden countries you live in, but in different part of the world, houses and homes rarely have fire any alarms. What exists in these parts of the world are fire hydrants at the most (probably because fire alarms add up to additional electricity costs). So the threat of fire from mining rigs is a real thing.

I also agree that mining rigs are better off sold if the profit is too low. Don't just count on the calculators to project monthly profit it's important to consider down-time, freezes, and restarts that use up electricity even when not mining.

Fire detectors or fire alarms use pretty much no electricity at all. I don't know why you are saying that it's expensive to run a smoke detector because it uses so much electricity that it's better to just not have them. Doesn't make sense.

At Home Depot you can get some cheap smoke detectors for like $10 each with a bulk pak. And they usually require a 9V battery which can last like 3-5 years. So pretty much they use no power at all.

The loud noise when there is a fire might actually use up the most power but it's worth it since it's alerting you off danger and worth the cost of a new battery.

Absolutely! Arguing that some people can afford to run GPU rigs at home, but can't afford basic fire precautions is nonsense. Top tip is to use the best quality PSU you can find, and don't use anything flammable/next to the rigs (metal frames, etc) and you'll very likely be OK.
29  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ALLMINE INC - FPGA Cryptominer on: September 08, 2019, 08:47:06 AM
Update:

We have released the following bitstreams for the following platforms:

CVP-13:
BMW512 (11Gh/s) from Protovist
Honeycomb (650Mh/s) from Allmine Inc
Veriblock (9.2Gh/s) from Protovist
Neoscrypt (3.3Mh/s) from Nez
Nimiq (1.1Mh/s) from Crypt
Turtlecoin (350Kh/s) from Crypt

BCU-1525:
Turtlecoin (225Kh/s) from Crypt


Note: As a reminder when operating the nimiq bitstream you must use the GPMP pool server ( http://pool.burstl.net:8650/ ) Address: pool.burstl.net Port: 8444 Username: Nimiq address. For turtle coin you will need to use the GPMP server at ( http://trtl.burstl.net/ ) Address: trtl.burstl.net Port: 3333 Username: Turtle coin address.

Can BTU9P FPGA's run the same bitsreams as BCU-1525's since they both on VU9P's?

In theory, yes. In practice you'd need to e-fuse them in order to use encryption-protected Allmine bitstreams.
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Who ordered the AMD Radeon VII? Lets make a list of Miners / Hashrates / Coins on: September 08, 2019, 08:44:50 AM
I am just getting ready to get my first mining rig and everything I see says that the AMD Radeon VII has the best hashrate for alt coin mining.

For those of you using them would you still buy them today after using them for a while ? Thank you in advance.

they're powerhungry, but powerful. New drivers are supposed to unlock more memory, but the same can be said for 5700s, which are much newer and cheaper. So personally I'd pick the 5700 if buying new today, but currently roi is about 600days, so bad time to buy anything new. If your power is cheap, buy old 470s for peanuts, if your power is pricey buy an F1 mini for amusement.
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [AMD] New AMD RX Graphics Cards of 2019 - RX 5700 / XT, RX 600 on: September 01, 2019, 01:16:47 PM
when Polaris came out, I remember someone modified drivers at the beggining.

I think you remember wrong, there were "blockchain drivers", but those were drivers
made by AMD specifically for mining

Think a guy named 'RobinHood' put out a hacked driver just a few hours/day or so before the official blockchain ones. Recall downloading it to test, then seeing the official ones before getting time.

Anyway, doesn't matter now!
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are specifications for a bitcoin mining rig the same as for wallet recovery? on: August 02, 2019, 07:25:43 AM
Did I miss something... Huh, is posting a link in a question somehow an issue?
The link to that article in my post is the number one hit on google when you search for “best gpu for bitcoin mining 2019”, so I doubt the maker of that article will need any links to their article to increase their ranking if that is what you are referring to. If there is another problem with my post, please explain.

Anyhow, I find it a bit disapointing that the first reaction to my first post on this Forum is "go in Hell" Cry.





I think the title: “best gpu for bitcoin mining 2019” should tell you all you need to know - mining btc with a gpu hasn't been a practical approach for many years. Anyway, what you've looking for is called Hashcat.
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Are specifications for a bitcoin mining rig the same as for wallet recovery? on: August 01, 2019, 04:10:05 PM

Aye - weak attempt to linkbuild that article. Should be banned.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The world's first public X16R FPGA miner—ALUM F1 [update] on: August 01, 2019, 04:07:34 PM
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF  IT ?
In fact, right now, we're not going to charge more than $700.
Our products consume only 50 watts of power and can reach 30-40MB of computing power.
This is a very big price tag. I'll buy 4 video cards RX570 to get the speed at 100Mh+. and if mining becomes irrelevant, I'll just sell them. And then where to put your devices?! Just throw out the window


Well, dunno if RX will get you much on x16r, but you could certainly pickup a couple of 1080tis for about that cash, which would eat x4 the power, and put out slightly more hash. Your point certainly stands - in order to take a bet on dedicated hardware it needs to perform much, much better than GPUS, otherwise the risk is very high...

Interesting AMD earnings mention the drop in crypto as being a profitability issue for them, but they've deliberately hobbled Navi. I wonder why? Hope to clear old stock to miners maybe?
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Linux mining usb on: July 30, 2019, 03:11:09 PM
Tell me, is there a Linux distribution for mining that works with USB flash drives? Interested in the ability to set up mining on one computer, and when inserting a flash drive into your computer without a monitor, that starts immediately from the mining of coins without any manipulations mouse.

Loads. Hive, Smos, minerbabe, mmpos - quite a list...
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: BlackMiner F1mini Review (Incomplete) on: July 30, 2019, 12:37:17 PM
212 Evo fits, but its price is totally different than intel stock cooler. I will have to change my calculation or add copper plate into the gap.

Yeah, used the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and 4x m3 bolts (with insulating washers on the board), these double up as standoffs to stand the board on, with all the cooler weight on the bolts.

Very pleased with performance for the money, frankly - active stream development team, low power, great stuff.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I propose to develop an FPGA chip for altcoin miners. on: July 23, 2019, 08:05:52 AM
you can get a vu33p on a mining board for 1949$, this was done by pushing xilinx to lower prices. You absolutely can get proven chips discounted at volume pricing.

Oh, I understand, you are talking about discounts.
But I do not understand why the difference between $ 9 and $ 1949 is not obvious to you ... This is the abyss.
In addition, do not forget that Xilinx makes its boards for the general needs of the industry, and not for the needs of cryptocurrencies. And in the case of your project, you can make them the ones that are needed in the cryptocurrency sphere. For example, with a large amount of RAM, with thicker data buses, with other frequency bands. For example, with microcells, you can put an oscillator on a chip, which will produce from 5 to 10 GHz clock frequency, and on Xilinx chips you will never overclock.

I suggest you to develop your own sports car and drive along roads where YOU want a speed of 300 km / h for a total of $ 10 for each trip.
But YOU tell me that for each trip you can buy a regular bus for $ 2000 (with a discount) ... which goes only along the planned route at a speed of 60 km / h.

Do you see what we are talking about different things?

Yes. But you're talking about a very serious, ultra-skilled startup that will burn millions in a blink. Not easy, not low risk. The expertise needed to stand any chance of success is considerable. Sure that experience exists, but even the best minds get tripped up by the speed of change in crypto, the market instability, etc, etc.

Looking for advice. Thank you.



Dude, that's a post from nearly a year ago. XMR has completely changed algo since then, and Coinhive has shut down. When you say 'web mining community' you kinda mean browser 'mining pool' right? That's been done, dusted...

Really keen to invest in some Vii's, but unless I'm going insane, isn't the 90-100mhs for 200-220W on eth identical to 3 tuned polaris (3x30mhs@70w=210w)?

Vii costs c.£600 in the UK, or old polaris about £150 for 3...
