Optiminer is back and releasing update of his miner for win and nix
Yup, and it's slightly faster Claymore's v8. where is the link ? yes link please Due to the Optiminer v9 license, "Distribution to 3rd parties is not permitted." |

Claymore is working on V9. He has stated it will be out in few days but no exact time scale
It will come out shortly after Silentarmy v6  |

not sure if all this will keep for 6-7 months, everything is crashing now, if it was not for bitcoin high price it would be unprofitable already
If bitcoin does badly, alts do well. Some people with old(er) hardware are better off turning it off until it becomes more profitable again. People with newer generation cards are still mining quite easily and making a profit while doing so. |

Card #4 is still not working, as soon as I plug it in the mobo disables the SATA adapter.. What a PITA .. Never buy a ASRock Gaming Z170 K6 Board for a rig... I'm still trying to get that running
You have updated the motherboard BIOS firmware to the latest version, right? |

Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis  It feels like nothing has changed since XP etc Anyone got Win10 running stable on a Z170 based Motherboard ? (Asrock Gaming K6) Ubuntu runs flawless. Which drivers do you use ? When I'm trying to install 15.12 it just hangs at 2% for the AMD App manager Use the latest Windows AMD (Hotfix) drivers. Do not use old 15.12 drivers for rx480s! (make sure you have a 16gig virtual memory) |

i'm getting 0.014 per day with 7 gpu, with the 140 sol miner i would get far less around 0.01, so yes nicehash is better now, it's not better than mining with the hash of their pool on other pool if you are implying that
also your chart show 480, which has nothing to do with the 140 sol miner for nivdia
i repeat, the 140 sol from unpotimized miner is not better than mining with the nicehash miner at 220 sol on their locked pool
The difference between mining to a open pool and mining to nicehash is almost negligible. What ever miner (client) produces the most hash rate is the miner (client) that you should be using. Period. |

Network Hashrate increase = lower profit for miners???
Let's see if ZEC recovers but it's trending down.  |

Could you share site url with such charts. Thanks.
+1 whats the url for those charts? I built / coded the site for myself and there are already too many people using it  |
|
|
|
currently 140 sol on any pool is far worse than 220 sol with nicehash, locked on their pool
Let's not make things up out of thin air. This based on actual payouts rates side by side for proper comparison:  |

Is anyone having success with MSI 470 Gaming X 4GB?
Had various GPUs, they were all working fine, but then I bought some of the mentioned MSIs, put them on a Pro BTC, and no matter what I do, they are significantly slower than others.
Modded straps, increased power limit, modified both TDP and TDC, decreased current scale, lowered intensity, decreased target temperature for lower temperatures, but none of these helped.
They are working at 155-170 H/s, while another GPU with the same memory on the same settings is at 189-190 H/s with no problem at all.
Is the GPU with higher hash rate in the main PCI-e slot? (GPU0) |

If looking into your own cup and your profit makes you happy - then you are happy. This is simply narrowing your point of view and not caring about cosmic problems(like what if black hole opens in our solar system).
Since you want to use space metaphors: the black holes are created in the other galaxies. The smaller miners get to watch the black hole's beauty through their telescopes. Anyways, we're drifting off topic. It was a legitimate question to the dev since his work benefits lots of smaller miners. You don't have to have understand (or even agree with the question) in order for him to give his opinion. |

Ok...glad you agree with me at some points. But I have to disagree on "Trusted source" note you've mentioned.
Do you have contract with Claymore? Do you by any chance know him in person?
Your definition of "trusted source" is legally absurd.
Legally, sure. However people do in fact have "trust" by the community that is built up with years of interaction. Does that mean it will prevent anything malicious from occurring? No. Does that mean it is less likely from anything malicious occurring? Yes. Finally if you squeeze your point of view to only a few positions it doesn't matter at all since "small miner" is happy with that he/she gets.
That's where we disagree. If such effort is being put into a miner that wants to remain "free" for people to use, the net effect of that means that if it is kept "closed and still free", it means they get to stay profitable for longer. |

Cons of CS miner.
1. Not having open source miner leaves small miners narrowed to use only closed source miners and what they offer.
Having it closed source isn't going to defer the functionality as the devs are adding it anyways. 2. Not knowing what's inside that closed source miner may put you and your system in a risk which depending on the person(company,farm) that created this miner may take advantage of your rig(small farm).
As it's coming from a trusted source, that should be enough when combined with hashes to verify its the correct binary. Look at Claymore's miners for example. Pros of CS miner.
1. Big farms will hash exactly with your speed multiplied times your rig is capable of using same miner disassembled and probably optimized for certain ASIC/FPGA.
My view is: new opensource releases will be adopted faster by larger farms in an automated fashion, thereby putting smaller miners at a disadvantage. Cons of FOSS miner.
1. Big farms can use the code to optimize it for their systems/rigs and probably ASIC/FPGA.
Pros of FOSS miner.
1. Code is open and anyone with decent coding knowledge could see if there is maliscious stuff in it.
2. If you are brilliant coder you can port the code for your individual use as you like on any operating system you like.
3. COMMUNITY! Quantity + Quality. Or in other words "If you can see my big balls it really means they are big!"
I'm all for opensource (it's part of my profession) so I agree with your points on the positive aspects of open source. |

How exactly do small miners suffer?
Are you really asking me that? Yes, obviously you are seeing something I do not and unlike most people I don't assume I'm correct or call people idiots/crazy for having their own opinion. So go ahead.. |

Alright guys, I'm over the hump as far as debugging is concerned.
Would you be opposed to make it closed source (and have no fee attached)? Again and again...making closed source miners only brings hell on author's head. Private farms have the resources and coders to disassemble anything they want. From closed source miners the only who suffers is small miners...there is no point to release binary versions of the miner. How exactly do small miners suffer? |

RX480 with mod. bios speed up to ~800 (@1950 mem) 850 (@2050 mem) H\S (2050 on my card very unstable - is 4Gb model, low speed memory (1750 stock). On 8Gb models stock is 2000Mhz (overclock up to 2200 + modding timings), It should be fastest.
Using what powerdraw? |

Based on the power consumption of claymores miner, is it safe to say that a Corsair RM1000i can handle 3 RX 480's on powered risers?
Here is the power use with 2 RX 480's
Easily 5 cards. Undervolt with 6. |

A) 2 xfx R9 295X2 = ~$900 = ~1000W = 1120 SOLs ZEC; ~___W = 120MHs ETH
B) 6 RX 470s = ~$1100 = ~880W = 1120 SOLs ZEC; ~920W = 164MHs ETH
C) 5 R9 390 = ~$1200 = ~800W = 1250 SOLs ZEC; ~___W =____MHs ETH
I think all of details / presumptions are correct. This would lead me to believe, as it stands, that C would be the most efficient option...correct?
a) would push those to the limits with default cooler & settings ~1100W. 2 x 295x2 = 4 x 290x = 4 x 44cu b) 100 pages about this but how many at the wall posts? c) you can do it with 800W but if power saving is your primary target then go with 470s. 5 x 390 = 5 x 40cu. Can run some quick numbers with c) if you are interested, I have one 3x390 with power meter. This is a rig with measurements at the wall for both ZEC and ETH using 6 x RX480's (this includes motherboard,ram,hd into the WPC) Card Volt/Rom Miner GPU MEM ZEC (h/s) WATT HPW WPC ETH (h/s) WATT HPW WPC RX480 -100mv Claymore v8 1150 2100 1075 720 1.493 120 175 880 0.198 147 |
