I'm Dual mining Ethereum + Decred. I still think it's OK to do it, as long as your Ethereum hashrate i not dropping and the power usage does not go up (which is with me both not the case).
Of course your power usage will go up, thats unquestionable

I would go to NEO.. Ripple is controlled by banks..Ripple price is manipulated by banks so ripple is not an altcoin anymore ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Thats dumb...every coin out there can be manipulated if you have enough money, and lower your market cap, easier you can get manupulated Theres high chance we'll see smart contracts on Ripple soon, too https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/11611-codius-is-back/https://codius.org/

Got my card, 2 days later got letter saying EU cards are invalid, today got refund for BTC I paid to get card, but only half because I have to pay txn fee...I guess I'm lucky I didn't have to pay more fee than I paid for card, and go into red, lol

How is lyra2v2 performance compared to mkxminer?

When something crashes hard, that often means big players are interested enough to crash it so they could buy more cheaply and profit even more...think about it next time when you buy something for $3 and panic sell at $1 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Unfortunately Sia team has made it very hard to acquire and store SIA coin. No SIA wallet No third party wallet and only a few exchanges most of which have suspended new subscriptions from being created. How so many companies are developing miners for this coin is beyond my understanding since the infrastructure is still mostly unsupported for trading/purchasing purposes.
What are you talking about? Sia wallet: https://sia.tech/apps/How to use it: https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/guides/how-to-use-the-sia-coin-wallet-sia-ui/They have enough markets: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/siacoin/#marketsNot the best, but I hear they're working on been added to new ones They have some network/wallet issues, but if you look at bittrex and poloniex, many coins have problems too. I'm inclined to think those are "problems", not problems

Thank you guys, I decided to give it a shot... and it seems that with the "lifting" to the timings and a boost to the mem freq the results are much better than the stock bios even for Elpida model. I'm getting about 390h/s @1875MHz but I'm testing the stability since already @1900 I'm getting BSODs in a bunch of seconds. Don't you know if it is recommended to increase the mem voltage to try to work @2000MHz? Because at stock voltage (1000mV) I think it will be hard for this card to go beyond 1875MHz. I would also consider to decrease a bit the GPU frequency and voltage not to stress the card but I don't know if it will worth.
I didn't play with cryptonight too much lately...but I think memory frequency is less important than core frequency for this algo...or, at least, much more important than for ethash

A noob looking for a little guidance if you could.
I picked up the ASUS Rx 560 OC Edition and threw it into an old spare PC with intention of learning more about mining and figured it was relatively cheap so if it doesn't work out or I fry the card I am not out too much money. I am using Claymores dual miner and the August edition of the AMD mining drivers on windows 10. Two things that are happening.
1) I run Claymores script and the card spins up to 90°c with the fans at 100% before shutting down about a minute later. I moved the rig to the garage as it's around 0°c and I added an intake case fan blowing directly at it. Card is still averaging 86°c while the interior of the case is hovering around 10°c. This does not seem right and my guess will burn the card out pretty quickly.
2) Daily average from ethermine.org is around 7MH/s which is about half of what is reported heere on this thread.
So does anyone have any tips, tricks or a stable BIOS update that would help either of these issues (perferrably both)? Also given my noobness what are straps and strat referring to? I am sure there are more questions I will need to ask but baby steps.
if I get this figured out then I will start to ramp up with a number of cards and an open air rig.
Thanks for any help you can give.

It seems like rx560 is quite good in performing cryptonote algorithm compared to other gpu with same pricing range.
I think the RX 550 is also quite good in performing XMR ... more than 400 h/s with less power consumption compared to the RX 560. Are you sure you can get more that 400h/s on 550? It seems it's also difficult for 560 to hit 400h/s. For a 550 it looks like a miracle. It works since 4 weeks without problems at my home. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) The RX550 is the perfect gpu for mining xmr, because cryptonight charges the memory and 8 gpu cores are enough for the rest. The bottleneck is the memory. What brand is your rx 550? Saphire Pulse Radeon RX550 4GB Micron Memory Hi R0land, I bought one of this to test 11268-03-20G (Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX550 2GB) Unfortunately it came with Elpida memory: max hash 290-300 on CryptoNight with sgminer 5.5.5-gm stock bios Do you know if it worth to mod bios with Elpida mem? I don't know how to have RX 550 cards with Micron mem. It seems they are random... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2200876.msg22348437#msg22348437

Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Micron 31.4 Mh/s in HiveOS. Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Hynix 30.7 Mh/s in HiveOS. Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Samsung 30.5 Mh/s in HiveOS.
On Windows you have to add ~0,5 Mh/s on my result.
all around 100W. Try different timing from Uber Mix on Samsung and no chance at all.
It looks like new Samsung on RX 580 are not the best anymore.
I tried micron, elpida and hynix and micron worked the best for me...don't have card with samsung, so I took the word from internet about it performing well

Hmm... I picked up an XfX RX 560 from Best Buy this weekend mainly because it was the only halfway decent card in stock, but reading through this thread it seems it may not have been such a bad impulse buy.
Are there any good straps specifically for Cryptonight, or are they mainly geared towards Ethash? I know there is some overlap in the requirements between the two, but Cryptonight generally likes more core clock than Ethash.
How about just doing the one-click optimization in Polaris BIOS Editor?
Can't harm, for the most part, except if you got one of new cards that have 1500 strap as the last one, instead usual 2000 or 2250

Hello everybody. I have a Sapphire RX 580 4Gb, with modded BIOS (including memory timings) and overclocked until instability (1050/2020). It run under windows 10 with mining drivers, and Im having arround 25,5 Mh/s. I tried a lot of things trying to reach the "oficial" 30Mh/s that these cards are supposed to make. I even change my card for another one, but the hashes remain the same. After reading the experiences of several people with my same card and same hashes, i realized that 25 Mh/s are pretty OK for this card.
Now im thinking about building a dedicated mining rig with six Sapphire RX 580, and i wonder if the 8Gb version will reach more easily these "oficial" 30Mh/s
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Higher hashrate depends on the memory manufacturer. Samsung best of all, Hynix/Elpida worse, Micron very bad. A good memory can keep the frequency of 2100+ which has a positive impact on hashrate. When choosing a card should be based on the memory manufacturer. This is not a guarantee of high hashrate, but as close as possible to him. micron is not "very bad" but up there with samsung, the best Higher is always better. Also not to forget that DAG size will continue to increase which means 4GB cards will not be able to mine ethereum after a certain period, for memory I heard Hynix is the most common and average performer.
Yes, sadly 4GB will stop hashing ETH in april, 2021...but somehow, I think both 4 and 8GB versions will be obsolete by then, anyway

better 8gb gpu for difficulty increasing
8GB has nothing with difficulty, but DAG size...and 4GB will be enough for 3 more years (up until 24/APR/2021), by then all today cards will be obsolete, both 4 and 8GB versions

Only for noobs that don't switch workload from graphics to compute
For all the knowledge you have, you should act more civilized. Blockchain is faster for some, even with the compute enabled on the latest drivers. It also has another advantage, that you don't need to manually switch to compute mode every single time on a driver install. I have yet to see situation where new drivers are slower...only saw same performance (most cases) or better. Also, newer drivers usually use less power, too. Btw, this is now my miner of choice for Ethash algo

I don't think you have much options for cpu mining, if any beside cryptonight

You are having a 14+ mh/s with XFX rx 560 single fan model? I am thinking to buy 8x XFX rx560 but i was afraid to not to get more than 12 mh/s.
Also anyone tried dual mining with this card?
If you plan to dual mine, I strongly suggest card with additional pci-e power connector and good cooling

Don't use more than 8 cores per CPU if info I found on net about size of L3 cache (16MB) is correct
|
|

Its much more expensive than Obelisk, and ASIC itself is (supposedly, if Obelisk info is true) significantly slower. Do you think the fact that it comes to earlier to market can overcome those 2 shortcomings?
Obelisk states:
The minimum hashrate is:
DCR1: 1500 GH/s SC1: 800 GH/s

MSI 560 4GB ITX Hynix Strap 999000000000000022AA9C0073E66C448055131243CFB60D00408400750514204A8900A00200000 014112E34DB324418 Used for 1750 to 2250. Core -7.5% Mem 2200
Eth 16Mh Cryptonight 440H
Cant find who posted the handmade straps, but it works an absolute treat.
You're probably lucky and got better than usual 1500MHz memory that usually come with Hynix RX560s...my Gigabyte cards can't reach 2200MHz even with default factory straps
