If you are an early adopter, post which was the first GPU you ever mined with.
Mine was the Radeon 6990. It was very expensive but it mined Bitcoin at almost 1GH/s, mined LTC at 800MH/s, mined X11, mined XMR, mined ETH.
HD6870 here, later added a HD5830. i think they each hit mid 30s as far as mh/s on btc. later mined ltc with them but cant recall the hash rate. still have them both and they still run but the 6870 fan failed at one point and had to replace the hsf with an artic extreme setup. they both made me so much money ill never throw them out.. ahh the memories  |

good luck. in the USA liability and FAA regs are going to be a problem. just because amazon and dhl, with the deep pockets they have to spend on playing with this, can do it doesnt mean its feasible for smaller players yet.
i have a GPS enabled drone i fly recreationally and they are an absolute blast, but they are not yet that advanced to trust autonomously on a large scale (talking consumer level tech drones here).
but its worth watching this space.

And imo on the hack it’s like this
If you lock your door and someone breaks in is it the door lock company fault the contractor that build the house?
Who would you blame? Yourself for letting someone break in? Like nicehash let someone hack them?
where would you rather have your house (wallet)? in a high crime area (the internet) or a low crime area (your pc)? |

Modded BIOS'es for Claymore's won't work well with GGS. For best performance, you need to mod BIOS'es specifically for GGS.
Can you give any advise for modding bios for GGS? only thing i have done on my 470s is the memory strap, so just a general purpose speedup on some algos/miners. but hey they are long out of warranty so im willing to mess with them more what mods do you suggest? havent tried this yet, but i will be. |

Not only were they giving away their flagship product for free, they made it hard to avoid it. Around the same time they also started giving their #2 product MS Office away too.
Makes you wonder where their revenues are coming from.
probably the NSA. |

just use any of the 17.11.x drivers, they have the dag fix built in when you select "compute" mode in the driver.
Much thanks for noting this. Will update right now. install the AMD settings part of the driver package, compute mode is under "gaming" -> "global settings" -> "GPU workload" you may have to reboot or restart amd settings a couple times to get it to stick. |

Potato Chips. Have downloaded the coinbase token generator through my. Phone but the respond I'm getting is that the token is invalid each time I insert the token code generated. Is there something I'm not doing correctly?
make sure your phone has the correct time and correct timezone set. |

i love my onda b250 d8p v1. as for longevity, we will see but its rock stable for me so far.
"gaming" boards are more about cpu/memory power phases and stability (for those monster OCs), better sound, "optimized" networking etc. stuff that mining boards do not need. miners are a different beast. all they they need is full size slots, decent spacing between slots and a BIOS that caters to multi gpu configs. basic power delivery to the cpu and memory is fine as no one is going to oc the cpu and memory (well maybe cpu miners but then get a gamer mobo for that).
back in 386/486/pentium/p2/p3/p4 days boards were very basic, and i had rigs that ran for pretty much for years 24/7 and they were still running when i retired them. and basic is all a mining board needs.
the gaming boards i bought wasn't so extreme....I was just going for solid/good capacitors, I've seen problematic boards back then with bloated/leaking caps. gaming boards are sturdy, not too thin...maybe they can also handle mining room heat better with their heat sinks, even though they are not overclocked, GPUs are heating them. only gaming boards have 4-5 pcie sockets around 2007-2009..........so obliviously they are my pick i had two boards get the bad caps thing, one was an intel brand board that only had a couple bad caps (think it was maybe a g33 chipset? intel released a statement that it would not effect the boards operation) the other manufacturer dont recall. they both ran ok even with leaking caps surprisingly, but the one that was really bad (pentium 3) took a few boots to get going from a cold start. once it was up it was fine. |

I am skeptical on the sturdiness of onda boards...we'll see, I still prefer good quality gaming boards because manufacturers did make sure they are built durable..I recently bought second hand ~ 160$ z170 sabertooth (enthusiast are upgrading to z370), still have 4 years warranty from asus..........after I bought it i come to realize WTF!! thinking I got a ~8 year old s775 motherboards mining for 4years already which only cost me 30$ each

ive used the military alphabet for years in poor voice quality communications. it works well. but its not hard to say "caps alfa, niner, lower bravo caps charlie" for mixed case either.

Which of those do you find easiest on the eyes? I myself deem the four-character chunks to be visually optimal. That also seems a de facto standard in printing account numbers, tracking numbers, and the like. this one (4 character chunks) seems easiest. |

Personally, and I may be weird, but I find easier to discern shapes if there is variety of caps on and off, a string of all caps off seems to same-ish to me.
As far as actually trying to memorize things... who does that? I just look at the first 3 or 4 characters of the address, and look at the last 3 or 4 characters of the address, when I paste the address in the "send" section of a wallet, when im about to send, mostly to confirm that im not infected with these type of malware that pastes an attacker's address instead of yours. So looking at the first and last couple of characters gets the job done for me at least (which is why I think caps on and off make it easier to stop any differences). I don't think a sophisticated way to only change characters in the middle of the address where most people don't look at is possible, or is it? because that would be a hell of a malware.
i am the same, its easier to read the address with mixed case as i find its easier to visually break it into "chunks" of 3-5 characters i can check. these chunks can be anywhere in the address, as its pretty much wherever patterns catch my eye. i check several of these "chunks" before sending. all uppercase just looks like one big.. well, something. but its actually harder to read and check for me. |

hey all, I'm looking for some configuration advice.
Windows 10 Pro 64
4x MSI GTX 1070 iTX
4x PNY GTX 1070 Blower (non FE)
1x Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ LE
now I want to add the RX 580 to the mix and I'm just wondering if anyone has some advice on making the nV driver and Radeon driver play nicely with each other.
there is no problem running amd and nvidia together on win10. just install both drivers. only thing i noticed is when using DDU to clean one driver it sometimes messes with the other one too. solution is just reinstall whatever one got messed up. |

to the right of the fan speed section there is a gear icon, click it the selection for gpu is there iirc.
Nope. Just highlights the fan speed selection and doesn't seem to change selected GPU. Pretty dumb they made this so cumbersome to figure out. Who designs this stuff? sorry, thought it was in the settings somewhere. yeah these skins the manufacturers use for OC utilities is beyond ridiculous. they cant make simple tasteful UI? using evga precision x atm so cant hunt around but ab does have it you have to open the main settings part i think. its in a dropdown somewhere. i remember it was a pita selecting cards one after another to change things. |

I have an interesting case: My HD6870 is a 1GB card.
Driver 15.12 fails to install; it appears to install, but does not work.
After trying many different drivers I found that 15.20 both works and is recognised by the mining software.
Trying to mine zcash from slushpool, I constantly get GPU errors saying
GPU #0 returned incorrect data!
I tried -i 0 , -power and many other settings like -old, nothing helped.
What do you suggest I do? Many thanks!
-t
from the readme: This version is for recent AMD videocards only: 7xxx, 2xx, 3xx and 4xx, 1GB or more. 6870 not supported. maybe older versions do. |

Well I said wake me up at 10k, and here we are. Merry Christmas!
I guess I should roll down to the ATM and sell some bitcoin. Did that with litecoin 2 weeks ago and the price doubled in hours. Let me know how it works out....
Why, oh why do I always have to be responsible for everything.......
*sigh* i guess ill have to sell some too. take one for the team and all that. its a heavy burden but someones gotta do it.. |
