Its sad, how people never learn. So many sites and exchanges have been hacked, millions gone, and people still use online wallets.
Why would you do that? Its just common sense not to do it.
There are really only two things infinite - peoples stupidity and the universe - and we're not sure about the universe.
True, though multi-day minimum payment thresholds are also to blame here, (NH paid weekly at best) and that's a common problem across many pools. (Nanopool, Ethermine, slushpool, etc, etc). Obviously, transaction fees start to be an issue if you go the other way to be fair... |

Quick idiot question - how do you set failover pools? Thanks in advance!

I've got the 1-2 version and that works fine, but there's got to be limits!

I have two GPU rigs and two ASICS (an S3 and L3+). I have each of them pointed at Nicehash maybe 1/3-1/2 the time, and I always get paid out accurately by Nicehash. Maybe check your settings? Also note that if you set up a Nicehash wallet, you can save on payout fees if you're patient.
Seconded. NH do rinse you on fees, sure, but if that gets you all riled up then do head off to a pool (1-2%) fee, then setup an online wallet, then convert your alt to BTC (-TX fees) just like nicehash pays you in, and then transfer it to a hardware wallet (-TX fees) see how much better off you are. |

Have you tried manually selecting the driver for the erroring card? ie: right click, select driver, etc?
Also try disabling and then enabling the card a couple of times. Sometimes that jolts them into working (on older ASrock boards anyway)...
If you've installed the drivers several times you might need to ddu them and start again.

Yeah, never stint on PSUs.
Also it pays to be suspicious of power requirements - I must have spent days trying to get one rig to boot with 6 cards. Couldn't do it, but should have been fine by the numbers (which I believed), so kept on trying.
Then added another spare £50 psu just as a test, and boom, no trouble at all.

Been running this for a while, recently started to notice when Teamviewer is open, reported hashrate drops quite a bit. Schrodinger's miner syndrome?

"I have yet to recieve any hardware that can not produce more coins vs electricity cost if thats what your asking? " -> Looks like D3 is going to be the first one...just got 10 units of this sh**
So your telling me your 10 unit d3 is burning more cost in electricity than your producing? So they must be sitting there not plugged in. That cant be true unless you have really high electricity cost. Should be producing around 17usd dollars a day right now no? If thats true i make you an offer, ill take them all off you for half price. And thats a favour if your saying your electricity cost is more than your producing. 17usd? More like $6.48 (whattomine) before electric as of today... |

Had asics in a freezing shed, minus 3/4 centigrade last winter. No problem. Bear in mind you're kicking out multi-kw of heat, so anything enclosed will heat up fast. Test it with a fan heater first if you're worried.

Maybe it is a quality issue, I dunno. What I do now know is:
The original Factory Firmware defaults to 600 frequency. Later autotune Firmware runs at 560-ish.
My connectors died within a week of resetting to factory, thus unknowingly running @600. Previously had been running fine for c. 12months.
In short - the connectors in mine pretty definitely died as a result of the factory reset which upped the frequency.
If anyone else does use the factory reset option, I'd suggest manually underclocking immediately, unless upgrading burned connectors is your jam...

I had 1x R4B1 that have very cheap PCI power connectors. They overheated at stock speed, ruined my P/S cables. ( EVGA G2 1300W ) My second unit didn't have that issue. Monitor your cables temperature, nothing should heat. Bitmain lowered connector quality for some R4 batch, probably explaining lot's of defects. I down clocked by haft speed ( 350Mhz ) to keep connector at reasonable temp until I replaced my connectors with new one / better quality. You can purchase /yc4k8eps]Molex Mini-Fit Jr for around 1$ /each It need a lot's of heat to desoldering, soldering iron alone won't be enough. Pre-heating bed or hot air is mandatory to execute the job properly. Also, you need /yah9vsfy]Desoldering Braid ( 5$ ). Heat soldering and apply braid over it to suck solder into it. I just had a highly annoying issue. Returned from holiday, r4 had lost IP. So reset to factory as above. Noticed variable settings had returned. Ran for a week, till I noticed the connectors were smoking. Now have set of dead pcie connectors. Before resoldering them tested the one board that still had working connnectors. All xxxxxxxxx. Lowered frequency. Runs fine. I'm now thinking that the original firmware makes these machines over-heat, while the 'newer' firmware obviously regulates automatically, thus saving the connectors... |

Would it be smarter to just mine electroneum? I think thats what everyone is using cryptonight nicehash for.. I just don't know the profitability of mining it vs nicehash.. for now I switched back to mining xmr but may look more into electroneum
Well, that depends on whether you trust electroneum really. Kudos to their marketing, but I'm a bit too thick to understand what it's actually 'for' - as in the problem it's solving over others... |

True, but the antminer has much higher depreciation and lower resale value than GPUs. Once a new version of antminer is released, the value of the older versions drop.
Same is true of GPUs. Plus once you've modded them resale is harder. And new antminers are at least a year away, based on chip fab predictions. |

The Electroneum mobile miner is an 'experience' miner - ie: not really mining. So it won't kill the battery, etc,etc like real mining would.

Yes - its by saying.. but its possible.
and its not so hard to run test l3+ with test on 24-48h with chosen XMR coin be paid.
Difference very small. So You with l3+ can work and mine XMR (NOT DIRECTLY) but no matter how - if its still profitable and can do it - you can.
Scrypt not scrypt - asic or not.. Possible YES! and almost price go like with GPU directly.
Everything is possible
Yeah, but by that definition mining bitcoin is possible by growing apples. Indeed, orchards are very profitable right now, etc, etc.... |

Why not possible?
prohashing.com - set Your earnings in XMR Monero.. What is the problem?
It's not a problem, just that's not mining Monero with a Scrypt miner. It's mining Scrypt and getting paid in Monero - big difference. Bit like saying your petrol car can power your house - by doing taxi work and then using the money to pay utility company. |

Try the same settings you use for XMR Stak and a vega 56 for best hash rates:
Stock 56 BIOS
Aug 23rd Blockchain Driver
CPU Clock -30%
Memory Clock: 950
Fan Speed 3300-MAX
Power Target: -21
Leave all voltages at auto
HBM Slider Should be all the way up at 15888.
If HBM doesn't go that high add a lot of virtual memory to your pc and do it again.
You can set temp to 62-70 but your card should be hitting like 58 - and thats when mining next to other cards.
Getting 1900 H/s on XMR, 3900 on Aeon
Do you actually need a lot of RAM in the system or is it ok just add a lot virtual memory? I see conflicting opinions on this in the thread. Virtual worked for me. Have two Vegas in a PC with 3gb Ram, running at 3900+H/s... |

There is an update available: Cast XMR Version 0.5 (2017/10/19) - support for multiple Vega GPUs. Specify multiple GPUs comma separated with the -G switch like "-G 0,1,2,3" - monitor temperature and fan speed for each GPU - subtle performance improvements in core Download Cast XMR 0.5 for Windows (64bit)Now hash with full 4 KHashes/s with 2 GPUs:  Congrats sir. Bloody good show. |

Hi
Are there any websites I can mine via a browser?
I believe minergate already has this feature, tried it once and the max hash I got was 5/h Obviously, it'll take eternity to actually earn anything useful, but y'know... (Edit: I'm yet to get a payout, so could be a scam, but seems vaguely legit) (2ND edit: 'brominer' link has a proper FAQ and pool, looks better) Still waiting for a payout, so looks like a scam, frankly... |

I think that calculator point is correct, but having said that my time to payout is plummeting faster than before (by c.50 hours) so far, so reckon the real figure is in the middle somewhere. Better, but not quite as good as the calculators say - here's hoping though! My stale shares % also went up a it. But nothing alarming. Still hovering around 7% stale shares.
But also my estimated profits has went up quite a bit. I hope this stays or moves up a bit more.
Overall pretty happy with the results of the hard fork. Maybe im missing something. But really hoping this is permanent and not miners falling off at the moment.
Honestly i think the calcualtors are way off , I think they are not accounting for the drop in issuance from 5 to 3, and only taking the increaed block times into account. I say this becase on ethpool i have been following this one miner, his hashrate is 12GHs, and he just now found another block. His next estimated block is 3 days away solo mining , dividing 30/3days that means he will find 10 blocks approximately this month which is 30 eth ?
http://ethpool.org/miners/3e638b01e2846905982C8aC15Fa6Ae0710B29ea2/blocksbut according to the calulator he will make 90ish eth this month , something doesnt smell right to me man either way he was making 50 eth a month before so if i am right he is now making far less than he did before 30 seems low so what i did is multiply his 94 eth on thier calculator times .6 ( drop from 5 eth to 3) and I get 54 eth I think thats his true payout. so basically he gained only 4 eth from before the fork and the dificulty bomb , not quite the 12-20% they promised lol |
