Do you recommend nicehash to monitor gpus + system stats if you have more than 2rigs? Nice rig build btw!  I use nicehash because I have multiple btc addresses. the solar array https://www.nicehash.com/miner/16yLHLoeyuCLPMXkVpC3gyrRYvwRGwjKJra four card rig in my garage https://www.nicehash.com/miner/146UJM5kgzLVUV23CXCf33KQKHckoX1gx3a two card rig in my friends office https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtjethis is waiting for this rig review https://www.nicehash.com/miner/3QPFEdX8rtXHoVZHct5eUbp7AK1t1vRMfLand I have a few others for my clients. I also use simplemining.net smOS to manage the gear. This rig will have ethOS a different linux then smOS . I will try this rig with ethOS and with smOS and point to nicehash to this address https://www.nicehash.com/miner/3QPFEdX8rtXHoVZHct5eUbp7AK1t1vRMfLThe rig is in NJ I live in NJ I need to wait till tues to get it.

You are a good man. But your position does not solve the problem of merit. This system conservation accounts. The user is forced to ask to pay attention to him. I hope that this experiment will be declared invalid. Now the situation requires the consolidation of the crypto community. Your position is a good example to follow.
Well it is an attempt to weed out the thousands of nasty A-holes on this forum. Most likely there are 1000 to 3000 accounts maybe more being used to rip off and hurt people. Do I think merit will fix this no but it is a step to some kind of solution. I think the very nature of cryptocoins being non reversible and kind of anonymous is what causes these bad apples to flock to this site. I try to help, but it is really hard work. Escrows can be really tough to do sometimes a 2 or 3 thousand dollar escrow where I get 40-60 dollars in payment can take 2 weeks and 30 pms to do correctly maybe 2 or 3 hours of work. Multiply that by 3 or 4 outstanding escrows where I may be holding 10,000 usd in coin and every one has an issue to solve. Add to that 30 gpus rigs to manage a dozen s-9s ― dozen avalons 6 nicehash accounts. 4 or 5 pc builds for people. Maybe 10 sales and I am a one man show. Some mornings I wake up and say WTF. Trying to run this thread means 100 to 200 posts to read on some days. Trying to run the alt coin thread and lastly doing reviews means I am busy. It is still fun some days other days not so much. |

I heard menero is forking to monerov which will use a new algo. does this mean 2018 is the death of the crytponight algo and lower AMD prices?
No Longer answer is other coins will pop up if the fork is real. |

Gave you one for reading whitepapers. |

No as it is old info many have given out before you gave it out. But I read your Italian and German posts and a lot of them have good info on setting gear and software. My German is meh My Italian is 2x meh Many say my English is not very good.  So It was nice to see someone that writes in 3 languages and gives good mining info for free. Thus I gave you a merit for the post in this thread to honer all your other posts. |

Will the connection still ultimately go through the 4G Wifi modem?
If so then you are going to have to accept that depending on signal strength you will not always the best connection. Bottom line, if that's the best Internet connection you have then let it run and don't sweat the alerts from the pool. I'd also look at the Daily hashrate that Slush shows. That's a better average to gauge what's going on.
20 meters is a long run 10 meters to a switch to ten meters will help. as for wifi it is hard to tell . where I am wifi drops out constantly as I am near a large military base with plenty of planes. They cause a lot of drop outs. he has 1 issue for sure a 20 meter / 60 ft run is not that relaible and he is most likely compounding it with the wifi modem. two of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ELMYN4Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1with this in-between https://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Gigabit-Unmanaged-Desktop-DGS-108/dp/B000BCC0LO/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?would assure a solid signal to the wifi which could still drop out. I like to keep wires at 30 feet or 10 meters and use low-cost switches to help boost signal. router ---10 meter cable-- switch--- 10 meter cable--- switch--- lots of short cheap cables to the miners If I do a really long run I use boosters like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002CLKFTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1this is in a 350 foot run between 2 buildings and it stopped the dropouts.

Try a different pool for a day
Also consider higher quality Ethernet cables.
A long cable run of cat 5 will drop out once in a while.
Also if you WiFi mine it could be dropouts.
I fixed an issue for one miner by sending a good cat 7 cable to replace his old cat 5
itīs a new cable but itīs very long and connected to 4G Wifi modem. I think itīs 20 metres long. Do you think shorter cable or a router would fix it? A router with a 10 meter cable to a ethernet switch to a 10 meter cable would work |

Trying to only give one per person . But I will start a new thread and redo the list every other month |

Regardless of the supply issues, what is shipped is what is shiped, and miners are buying them up. The shipping issues would have happened with or without miners. It's an indisputable fact that miners are buying up a large percentage of the gpus that are shipped to market. Naturally that leaves less for gamers and increases the prices. Supply and demand. Not that I care, I'm a gamer and a miner, and if people don't like the free market it's too bad. Besides, I think the reduction in shipments to market probably indicates that a next gen card will be coming out soon. And it's probably going to be expensive. Very very expensive.
I have built tons of 2 card gaming rigs for hard core gamers all of them mine while they sleep. I also see a big jump in price for new cards when they drop. 2070 = 600 2080 = 750 2080ti = 850 As a guess |

Grabbed a few L3's
With the 200 dollar coupon 1296 price is pretty good.
That's a great buy and possibly a great resell price too L3+ are good for long term ASICS to get them LTCs or convert to BTCs I see them for 1700 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3062836.0plus shipping so 1750 |

they lowered the price to 2000usd for an s9 including psu
but still not worth it. roi is about one year unless you have very cheap or free electricity and not counting the diff increase.
Yep, interestingly enough they're also starting to offer bundles with PSUs again too, likely to lure people to buy in along with the coupons. Only the A3 seems to have sold out so far, seems like everyone is aware of the ROI situation. The s9's are priced too high. Maybe the L3's would be good to get. If you have cheap power maybe the T9's and if they send one of those 450 usd coupons and you get the T9 for 1250 - 450 = 800 + 100 to ship that is 900 usd for 10.5th pretty cheap if you have low power cost. With the solar array and the sell off I did both the L3 and the T9 look fairly attractive. Agreed - and the L3 usually have decent resale value since it's a little more reasonable for at home mining compared to the S9(no need to install a 220 line). I was given 3 $200 dollar coupons . I purchased 1 L3+ about ten minutes ago. I will wait a bit before I decide if I will order another L3+ or a T9 |

Thank Phil for not only this topic, I learned a lot from you, Yun, Bear, Vann, and Quint when I started on mining. Now I'm also working on other thing but still keep my eyes on mining community and enjoy it as well, still many people in my mining community are looking for my helps, it's great. If I got merit from you or any hero I mentioned above, I will be very happy. So, if it's possible, please take a look on my topics or a post from thread which I actively discussed on: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2677496 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2298574 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1575547.msg25698855#msg25698855Thank you very much! gave a point out for the zotac thread |

does anyone mine with the bitmain L3 +
If so what do you think of it?
My group has a modest farm of 20 x L3+ and 6 x A4 -- total hash of around 11GHs (small sized farm) Bottomline, its profitable (mining direct and rentals ~ NH and MRR) and ranked second only after S9s in the farm. Giant-B and X13/X15 Baikal farm at best 3rd in the ranking. The group wants to expand on the Scrypt farm in 2017 but we didnt get a good deal from Bitmain, so we put the project on hold and bought more A741s instead. The 504MH L3+ miner is currently the defacto Scrypt miner - tried and tested, and robust too in handling multi-coin mining. No RMAs so far, but I believe we got a good batch. They are other companies doing 1GH and beyond using FPGAs but they are really unknowns and have not got a good sales track record. A little bird shared with us that Innosilicon may come up with something bigger and better vs the L3+ but its all speculation again (not to be confused with the fused A4s bundle). For 2018 and beyond, our radar is on Scrypt mining very closely because of profitability of the Scrypt coins. The 2018 ASICS strategy - putting ASIC vs GPUs debate aside and avoiding AMD-NVIDIA dramas, simply because 1 ASICS = several dozens of GPUs = higher BTC accumulation -- as long as we dont have X11/D3 disaster anytime soon. Yes, I admit that the LBRY, SIA and DCR has now been pulverized by Giant X10 & Bs, and A3s.... .... but the high price to acquire these miners has created a tall barrier of entry and the influx of too many miners and GHs may have neutralized the situation. Well next 6 months we make the most of the solar array's power we can do 18kwatts for free. The L3+ uses around 800-900 watts this may be good for us at the array. We can go to 18kwatts and be 'free' beyond that cost is 16 cents. If I get 5 dragonmints that is 6000 watts 3 s9's is 4200 watts we have 28 1080tis that is 5600 watts. This gets us to 15800 watts which means 2 or 3 more L3+ and we are at 18000 watts. So 5x DragonMint 6000 watts 3x s9s 4200 watts 28 1080tis 5600 watts 3 L3's 2400 watts total 18200 watts So far the newer bigger array is bogged down with government rules and regulations. It is a six acre tract of land which would allow 2 acre array stage 1 then in a year or 2 up to a 4 acre array. 4 acres of panels would give us 50-70 kwatts of 'free' power. It would be nice to get these arrays added but that is forum member buysolar's line of work. I try to mange the power he gets me to keep risk low and profits high. We did really well in Nov, Dec 2017 and even in Jan , Feb 2018 We made most profit mining in Nov, Dec 2017 We made most profit selling gear in Jan, Feb 2018 |

For any of you NiceHashers, what is a 1080Ti earning now, per day?

this is nice, the frame looks like a "Spotswood" , i find myself wondering if thats where the inspiration was drawn from  @Phil, you said you tested it with your longest 1080ti, how about WIDEST? i didnt see reference to if this would fit say maybe x16 1080ti AMP! extremes, or if maybe dual-slotx16 is max width? or even less? thanks for the thread, loving it! Please I deleted your post. I have not tested it since It arrives in 3 days. The frame should use the same aluminum that my waterblock Spotswood uses . ugh, and people wonder why the forums eliteist attitude pushes people away. w.e, thats what i get trying to engage with you, take care then,i wont be ordering one, sour taste now from this I simply said you were in error. I can not allow an error to stand without a correction. I quoted your error for all to see it. Here is why: This is expensive gear I don't want anyone to think 1080tis have been tested in it since I don't have the gear as of now. When I get the gear I will try to test some of my 1080ti's in it. Look we all make errors we are humans plain and simple. I do not want you to be offended I am a regular guy not an elitist type at all. You may have thought I wrote I tested 1080tis in this gear so to be clear I have not done that at all. |
