Please vote, claymore needs our moral support
Yes, he should release a linux version. It's funny because when zec was about to launch everybody with windows was complaining because it looked like most of the software was going to be linux based. As it turns out it was better to have a windows machine afterall  claymore is a game changer. |

This must sound stupid but I can't find a f*ckin clue anywhere, and I can't believe nobody has made this question before: how do you identify a specific gpu from 6 identical cards in a mining rig? The only thing special about this card is 10ºC more in GPU temperature. You can't tell it apart with your hand obviously. Is there any option in Claymore miner that can help with that?
i have a blower for cleaning dust, i blow at a gpu and voila, instant identification because the temp of a card dives down..easily seen if your gpu temp monitoring software has a graph. |

For me investing in 290x is for the bigger hash and they still have about 1 year warranty left...and if the price is cheap enough too.

Bought another 290x...the seller asked me, why there are so many people buying his card  and i got it first....i am even tempted to get another 290x but i think i will not buy it because its reference design and it will be noisier than a dozen of dual fans or tri fan models. That is very good choice of using the 290X. For the ZCash mining, 10% more core of the 290x than the 290 makes some difference. it is almost as fast as 390's but its about 50$ cheaper. Whats the power draw on one of those? i didn't measure.. I think the power draw info was posted in this thread already..i think is almost equal to power draw of the 390x |

i think claymore already knows how much/many are supporting him by looking at his wallet address hash rate..but nonetheless a poll would help

Lol @ butthurt rx 480 and 470 users.. I also have some 480's but i didn't dispose my 280x's.
Just bought a 290x and going to buy a 390 next week...and damn the 280x's are getting scarce.
Go claymore! Bury those cpu botnets.

THanks you two
I looked up clamp meters, i don't have one and ordered a cheap one for 29 $
My PDU only shows two digests and if I go by what your saying that rig is about right or around 500 watts and does use less power on a 220 .
I gonna keep it plugged in that line and save some power, i think.
cya top .
make sure you measure the voltage too to be accurate (don't assume 220 is constant), voltage varies depending on the load from your power distribution transformer etc. example: 2.75A x 220V = 605 watts 2.75A x 215V = 591.25 watts there is 13.75 watts difference, when power distribution is loaded sometimes voltage drops a few numbers, so measuring volts gives you a bit of accuracy. anyway, when voltage drops the current tends to increase so the total wattage (power consumption) stays the same, in real world scenario if.. 2.75A x 220V = 605 watts and when voltage drops, this will happen. this will be the reading 2.8139A x 215V = 605 watts |

Phil
My PDU says I'm pulling 2 amps on a 220/240 line
does that mean I'm doing 480 watts on that rig if I plug it into a 120 line and use the kill o meter is says I'm doing 562 watts or lower.
I wish there was a kill o mstter in the US you could buy for 240 lines like the one you can buy and use on 120 lines in the US .
I saw there is one in the UK or over seas that works on 220/240 lines but i can't buy, they won't sell it to me because i live in the US.
I have plans to hock up a full house Kill o meter next year, one of the 300 dollar ones,
I don't like how the power company's reports don't give enough detail for there Smart meter reports online.
just use a clamp meter to measure amps, some models can also measure volts by having probes.. Power = amps x volts |

Great, now that everything is stable, I'll be posting later about the vision of this project and milestones! Time to move on to actually implementing what I set out to do.
so Evan had planned already for his coin..when did "the plan" become a plan? 2 days after the launch? i believe the plan was a plan waaaay back. he showed the plans a month after he said he had plans..delayed it on purpose for the accumulation with his friends. Masters
To defeat propagation problems, master nodes are elected each new block. They are responsible for being the authority of what goes into the joined transaction each session. This is done in a tamperproof way, but I think it’s not important to the discussion.
Even after the instamine, accumulation, fork from 84 million to 21 million supply Evan still putting the masternode specifics under the rug so he and his friends can further accumulate dash. The thread was created 18 January 2014 and the first mention to Masternodes is from the 21 February 2014. A month and 189 pages of thread later!
I provided the link between Evan's January 20, 2014 post to February 21, 2014 post, showing what he had in mind all along..you see it is not about the instamine all alone, it is about the whole story, what was in Evan's mind the whole time  |

A Solo Mining Pool for ZCL like how ZEC already has would be great, I would try my luck there Here's what ZEC offers for Solo Mining: http://www.luckpool.org/#!/coin/ZCASHhttp://www.zogpool.org/#!/coin/ZECMaybe someone could setup & host one for the ZCL Community ? Granted they get a small fee per block hit, a bit like -CK's BTC Solo Pool. Here's the Tools to do so: ZCash and ZClassic solo mining stratum with Web interface.- Your personal solo ZCash & ZClassic stratum
- Rigs availability monitoring
- Keep track of accepts, rejects, blocks stats
- Easy detection of sick rigs
- Daemon failover list
Public binary release with devfee https://github.com/sammy007/zcash-proxy/releases these pools don't show your progress in reaching a block, so you are pretty much blind and just waiting for your block reward. so I take it from this that it is not possible to put a port number in the wallet.conf and point miner to that ? well at least that is your wallet and not some pool which you do not control...at least there should be an info there on how many shares you have submitted.. i'll just wait until solo mining pools gets updated and produce a bit more transparent information and predictability. like in mining ETH in ethpool.org |

I don`t know how exact you can adjust memory access to GPU memory, but ppl that compare and cry here thet RX 4xx should be fast as 390x should first learn that any architecture is different, the driver is accessing GPU memory as best as it can, if zcash need many small accesses and if 256bit bus is not wide enough its logical that 384 or 512bit bus will be better, even when we know with 2xx and 39x GPU and memory clock is more "aligned" and in sync then on RX cards which usualu work 11xx/2000
CRYING here RX4xx is pointless if you know NOTHING about internel GPU arhitecture and even less about zcash prof of work algo and how its computed
a lot of butt hurt people who bought rx 4xx cards here and some sold their old cards |

I think i read in this thread some place how it is better to use a 220 line over a 110 line that's the truth i just tested that to find out on my 110 line if the meter is right It uses 4.8 amp or 562 watts at the wall with 4 amd cards and CM8 i plugged it into a 220 line it dropped off a AMP or so ,right now i have no real way of proving it other then what the PDU shows in amps used on the 220 line from what the 110 line meter shows. I'm using a Vga 1300 gold and looking at using SIdehacks break outboards with 1500 watt pat server psu's on a 220 line. there cheaper.
Using Server PSU's Might be better the way ?.
yes 220v line is better than 110v for mining here is a simple formula power = current x volts 1000watts = 4.5454 amps x 220 volts 1000watts = 9.0909 amps x 110 volts higher voltage is the secret ingredient to transfer electricity to hundreds of miles from the power plant by using hundreds of thousand volts, higher voltage is higher efficiency by having more watts for the wire. regarding using server psu, i think it is better to use server psu because it is designed to work 24/7, typically they are rated in "platinum" and second hand server psu tends to be a lot cheaper. the only problem i see with second hand server psu's is if you get a unit that has been used for a very long period of time, no matter how great their build, they aren't designed to last forever plus they don't have warranty from the manufacturer anymore. (some server PSU's are very noisy btw ) using typical PC PSU has an advantage too because typically they are bought brand new, and good PSU's can have 5 year, 7 year and i think there are some with 10 year warranty..the only disadvantage is the price. |

280x ~210 H/s
480 ~210 H/s
390 ~290 H/s
290x ~277 H/s
fury ~285 H/s
210 H/s is amazing for a 480! Can you let us know your config? I've got 6 8GB ref 480s in a rig but can't get over 180 or so. Is the vbios stock? thanks! stock bios core 1380, 2200 memory maybe the samsung rams of this HIS rx 480 roaring oc helped, it can do 1400 core but i'll play it safe for stability. Thanks! I'll give those clocks a try. Are you using -i 4? using -i 6 here |

how`s the power usage doing?? i feel the heat of the LTC mining era...  heat in version 7 and version 8 is almost very the same..so the power is almost the same with version 7 i suppose. LTC is a real power hog it maxes out the GPU max power draw, it is hotter also..ZEC is still cooler than ETH/ETC. |

-i mining intensity. Possible values: 0...5. 0 - lowest intensity and CPU usage, 5 - maximal intensity. You can also specify values for every card, for example "-i 5,2,4". Default value is "4".
- added "-i 5" and "-i 6" values, 1-2% speedup, but can be unstable in some cases. so which is the highest "-i 5" or "-i 6" |
