guys hi,
how can one mine funk?

Any pools or instructions for solo mining?

thanks a bunch!

Hi guys,

I dont know if you heard, but there is a company called Solar Window, which (for some time now) promises transparent electricity generating windows,
with (take a breath) 50 times more electricity generated on the same surface then standard solar panels (if I'm right) and turnaround time of 1 year.
http://solarwindow.com/

Sounds way too good to be true, if you ask me,
but is there merit to these claims? This basically means free electricity after the ROI, which is exceptionally short.

Anybody more familiar with them?

damn.
Mine is in the mail, I'll let you guys know how it works.

Too bad, I was planning on buying a boatload if they functioned without hiccups.

I'll join the question,

I can get ASUS DUAL RX480 4GB for $184
or the same card with 8 GB for $210,
which one is better value for the money?

Also, I can get Asus strix rx 470 4gb for $167 or MSI rx 470 8gb for $194.
How do they fare against 480?

While talking about RX 480's (and 470's), which company makes them the best quality:
ASUS, Gigabyte, Sapphire (I've heard bad stuff about them), Powercolor, MSI or XFX?

Thanks a lot!

I dont make nearly close on other algos, of what I make with zec.
(1070), it's doing 410-440 sol/s and sipping the max amount of juice, even though I limited its power to 84%,
temp is 75c, mem clock +250, gpu clock + 200.

I'm looking for that answer myself.
I can tell you for my cards, gtx 970 and 1070, both lightly OC'd.
I'm getting 270 and 420 h/s for ZEC, which is currently very profitable for me.


I'm planning to do a far bigger farm, but I'm still fighting with myself over which cards will I take.
Currently ZEC is booming, but how long will that last? And nvidia is far better for it than AMD,
yet AMD is better for other coins, such as ETH, so I'm not sure...

shit.

I just ordered one. :/
I'll report back how it works.

Thanks for the advice - that is exactly something I'll try today (finally getting a consumption meter),
I need to check if card running at, for example, 80W has better ROI than card running on 140W and giving like xx% better hash rate.
When on this topic, how much are you guys paying for electricity and where are you located?


@Bare - yeah, true.
Right now I'm using KFA2 1070 with 8+6 pins, and it's running 2075 mhz 24/7, power consumption around 80%, temp 60c.
I'll check the concrete Watt numbers today.

@rentGPU,
yeah Gigabyte G1 is the cheapest (open air) model I can buy, I have their gtx 970 and I've been abusing it for months and I must say I'm very satisfied.
Ps, their 1070 comes with 3 year warranty! Very nice indeed.

I've heard a lot of bad stuff about blower style GPUs, so I won't take them, even though ASUS blower 1070 is the cheapest one can buy.

Guys, please lets not turn this very valuable forum topic in a shitstorm.

Thank you!

Open air, of course.
I'm just wondering about that 1x8 pin connector, and how does it affect mining, I intend to push them to at least 2075 mhz, possibly more.
I can get 1070s at almost 60% of usual price, so... 470s have faster ROI, but take more mobos, ram, disks, PSUs... to achieve the same earning rate.
I made a lot of calculations, and this seems like the optimal setup.

Just not sure about that 1x8 pin... The cheapest model I can get is gigabyte's.

Hey guys,
so I'm planning to create a small (for start) farm of 1070s, since I can get them for a good price,
but I'm wondering - most of the "lower end" 1070 models (like gigabyte, inno, asus...) have a single 8 pin connector,
instead of 8+6.

Are they good for mining? I read they are prone to throttling, I'm guessing that is not good in 100% gpu load situations,
like 24/7 mining.

What are your experiences?

Thanks

It works, thanks, but for some reason - I'm getting better revenue with old NH version 1.7.4.5, so I'll stick with it some more.

Couple of interesting questions - my GTX 1070 was overclocked to around 2100 mhz and once per day it "resets" itself to stock settings and can't be overclocked
until I reset the comp. Any ideas about this?

While that happened, I noticed that at stock settings I'm getting a tad less revenue (like $1.25-1.35 vs. $1.35-1.55 when overclocked),
and card uses only 48% power and has 50c temperature, vs. 90% power and 70+c when overclocked...

So, anyone did the math?
It seems to me it's almost not worth overclocking the card?
I'm also guessing it can last 5+ years working around 50-60c temperature....

What do you guys think?

CPU crashes for me, cant even be benchmarked with the newest NH version.
I have AMD fx 8300.

Nice work!

One thing though:
you said 1070's dont convert as well on Nicehash - yet mine is making $1.2-1.5 on equihash (nicehash) and WTM site says $1.2-$1.4 (changes all the time),
so I think NH is pretty darn good (if sometimes not better than mining with classic tools).

PS - what kind of rigs do people who get 1M hashes use?
Massive GPU farm or?

Yeah, weird.
I just reset the computer and started again, and now I'm getting 220 sol/s,
but my card is just at 60 celsius, and 65% power consumption.

When I mined, for example, Sia coin - it was at 75 celsius and 88% power consumption,
I feel I can squeeze more power out of it...

EDIT: I overclocked the gpu clock at +250 mhz, now I'm getting 240+ sols, and temperature is still around 62 celsius, consumption 67% TDP.

Hi guys,
just a quick one - I'm using the miner, v0.0.9b (because 0.2.0b just crashes for me),
I have gtx 970, and without any apparent rule - sometimes I get 195 sol/s, sometimes 60, sometimes 240.

Really weird, and my card runs only on 50% power consumption and 50 celsius. GPU load is 99%, memory load around 70%.

How can I maximize sols?

thanks

are devs of NOBLE alive?

Guys will you give the option to turn off 2FA?
My iPhone is dying and I'm afraid I wont be able to access my account if it does.

I didn't see any "lost my 2FA" options on the control panel/wallet?

thanks

Yeah, I know, just stating the obvious.
I love the fact you guys seem down to earth and realistic.  I believe in the project - keep up the good work.
