can GTX 1070 mining dash?
NVidia GTX1070 can mine every cryptocurrencies : only AMD GPUs cannot mine some. Any currency that can be mined by the GTX 1070 can also be mined by AMD GPUs - the question is "which is more efficient". AMD wins some easily, NVidia wins some others easily, a few are very close depending on the specific card model and sometimes even on the specific settings each card can handle reliably. Speed of internet isn't a significant factor in cryptocoin mining - RELABILITY is a major factor, and lag is a minor one. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2125643.0;all It's not TECHNICALLY a GPU but they're well under $200. The GTX 960 isn't a particularly profitable card (I have 2 of them) - better off to look at the GTX 750 ti in that generation of NVidia. I would IGNORE anything before the 9xx series except the 750 ti - too low of performance for the power draw.

Does anybody know what sort of hardware makes these waves? It occurs in equal 2 hour intervals, goes very high in peaks, up to 0.5 TH/s, but averaging at around 150 GH/s. Since this it ethereum mining, I wonder if maybe somebody made some kind of dedicated machine for this. Otherwise, to achieve that average (not the high peaks), you need around 5-7000 graphic cards. And what makes those waves? Somebody turning another 15.000 cards on and off in equal 2 hour intervals?  The waves are NOT equal. They looks like someone pointing Nicehash hashrate at that pool. |

Monero (XMR) is currently mined with both CPUs and GPUs.
There is no ASIC miner available for it at this time, and given it is a very memory-hard algorithm it is unlikely that an ASIC miner would perform a LOT better than existing GPU miners.
The only algorithms that have Antminer ASIC available at this time are:
SHA256 (Bitcoin etc) with the S9, T9, and R4 models (and older models like the S7, S5+, S5, etc)
Scrypt (Litecoin etc) with the L3+ model (and the older L3)
X11 (DASH etc) with the D3
If you want more info on the announced SIA ASIC, you should be asking the folks that announced it, not random users of this forum.

can GTX 1070 mining dash?
DASH hasn't been GPU mineable for a profit for a year or so, since shortly after Pinidea IBelink and Baikal started selling ASIC miners for X11 last spring. ETH on the 1070 - varies, but the last few weeks it's usually been inferior to ZEC among others on profitability. Nicehash is usually somewhere near but not AT the top on those cards. |

I've been trying to get into the bitcoin mining world for some time now. I've looked at tons of different miners for more than half a year now. I originally considered an S5 but the cost of it has made me consider the S3+. I have free electricity in my apartment and I think that I'll end up with an S3+. I was just wondering if anybody thinks it could possibly be a bad idea to invest in an S3+ at this point in the bitcoin mining world. The S3+ has 450GH which would make 211$ a year worth of bitcoin.
At CURRENT difficulty and Bitcoin price, you would pull in a little less than $10/month with that miner. On free electric, you're looking at years for it to pay off - but if you have free electric for the long term, it probably WOULD pay off eventually, the S3+ has a good reputation for reliability. I have no idea where that $211 a year figure is from, it's WAY HIGH based on current or most recent figures, unless you calculated it during the short-term dip when folks moved to BCH for a few days. |

At this point, any GPU worth mining on is selling for somewhat more than $200, due to the demand exceeding the supply in the case of most of them.
This situation HAS been easing some but pricing is still inflated on RX 470/480/570/580 cards a LOT, somewhat so on GTX 1060 (and a little on the GTX 1070 but those are NORMALLY a lot more), and availability is still very spotty.
You could get somethign like a RX 460 or GTX 1050ti, but those don't mine a LOT - on the other hand, their pricing hasn't inflated much if at all as there is almost no demand for those cards from miners DUE to the low performance - on a per-card basis they're efficient, but on a SYSTEM basis they don't work out so well.

Sounds like you have a fixed fan speed set in Afterburner - go to Settings and set a custom fan profile, or use the fan slider on the main page and move it UP.
But funny thing is only doing when etherium is opened? for try i open Musicon almost 5 hours its working without any problem about fan but if i open eth in 5 second closing the graphic card fan speed to 20.Any one seen this weird s...t before  ) Thanks Hmmm. THAT is starting to sound more like the miner software is configured for a fan speed limit that's too low, or too high a temperature set point. Claymore in particular is known to override Afterburner settings if you have the mining software set for temp control/fan control. |

Bitmain writes that the warranty is void if the machine was used in a "humid environment"
Does anyone know what exactly they mean by that ? I would like to run it in a basement with around 60% humidity atm.
I expect it to decrease as the heat increases.
These little hw-errors which are seen in the interface are normal if they are not very high, is that right ?
That is too much humidity and you are breaking the nominal values that are allowed for Antminer, so you might not get it fixed with warranty repair if something goes wrong and they notice damage because of the humidity. Specs https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/4081 Operating humidity: 5% RH-95% RH, non-condensing 60% would be well within the specs. High enough to CONDENSE is probably what they're worrying about. |

USB 3.0 spec is for a max of 900 ma (0.9 amps) of 5V supply - there are variant "charging" USB 3 ports that are designed for higher though, but not all motherboards have them and not all that DO have them have all of the ports as "charging" capable.
Powered hubs would be a better option.
On a separate subject, is there any chance of a "pod" or "blade" version of this, along the lines of the old Gridseed GC3344 based units?

Where did you get the mining cards. I thought the only way to get them was in big bulk buys? Are they available to consumers?
Several of the Sapphire "mining" cards are listed on Newegg, though availability has been spotty like on pretty much ANY RX 470/480/570/580 card the last few months. |

Could use sheet rock AKA gymson (sp) board instead of the plywood - THAT stuff is highly fire resistant and I'm pretty sure it handles higher temps than wood.
I find it difficult to believe plywood would ignite at such a low temp though, since PAPER doesn't ignite 'till well over 200C for most grades of paper.

As I understand it, ripple isn't mined at all.
Litecoin has been ASIC-based miner dominated for almost 4 years now.
Don't know the other coins at all.

Should work, and if you set it up right you should not need the external fans at all.
Reference the Yahoo "chicken coop" datacenter design, with is in it's core basis a VERY similar idea.

See the reply here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2134900.0Only Sidehack is still making USB stick miners with modern chips. You'll probably pay between $75 - $100 for one from a reseller. It'll get around 15gh/s. If you want the equivalent of an Avalon, you'll need about 45 of them. Another option is to get an R4 from Bitmain - this is relatively silent, but hard to find and more expensive. Expect around 7.5 TH/s Between $3,000 - $4,000 on eBay. Finally, you could get an S7LN from Bitmain. That'll be less powerful, but it can be undervolted to run almost silent as well. It'll only pull 2 or so TH/s. I've seen them as low as $500 on eBay, but with the upwards price they're getting to be around $800. If you are price sensitive, you want the most dollars per TH/s. Or look into an altcoin option - Futurebit Moonlander v.2 is in preorder and should start shipping pretty soon. Be warned though - ANY "stickminer" is unlikely to achieve full ROI before it goes obsolete, though the Litecoin based ones tended to have a longer lifespan as profitable devices and might manage it EVENTUALLY. |

1080 version of their long-running 1070 ITX - which itself has been bloody near impossible to get ahold of lately (and BLOODY expensive when you can), along with the MSI competing product. I have to wonder how or if they upgraded the cooling over the 1070 version, but that one runs cool enough if you give it decent airflow access that I could see the possibility of it handling 29 more watts OK. |

hi there is any one got a calculator and how much can i get with a 20core processor and 64gb memory perday/week
Gridcoin supports appx 30 DIFFERENT projects out of the BOINC list - some you aren't going to do squat, a few your setup would do significantly on. No, there is not a "calculator" - closest thing I can think of would be the https://www.gridcoinstats.eu site to give you one tool to help you try to figure out which project would be good for your setup, along with the actual website for each project and their "top computers" link on each project. |

crash of gpu mining? personally i would not bet on that for the foreseeable future! but if it would happen ... there is always a solution to everything ! https://www.seti.org/will always take your hash! What is this organization doing? They pay u for hash rate? Perhaps the name "Seti@Home" might be more recogniseable? And no, they don't "pay you for hashrate" as such - they are a mostly volunteer non-profit group - but they ARE part of BOINC and on the Whitelist of projects that Gridcoin supports, so in an indirect way you could earn SOME income for working on their project. |

The 80Plus specs aren't applicable to the Bitmain power supplies, as they are not ATX standard. If they WERE, probably Platinum and at least Gold. |
