i have a hostID variable which i use to auto pick the worker name using the rig ID

{
"pools" :
[
{
      "pool" : "pool.supportxmr.com:7777",
      "wallet" : "sssssssssssssssssssssssss",
      "password" : %hostid%":ola_lawal@yahoo.com",
                
      "cryptonight_type" : "normalv7"
},
{
      "pool" : "pool.supportxmr.com:7777",
      "wallet" : "gggggggggggggggggggg",
      "password" : %hostid%":ola_lawal@yahoo.com",
                
      "cryptonight_type" : "normalv8"
}
]
}

tried it with qoutes and it puts just %hostid% on the pool , any ideas how to fix this ?
I have the variable set in the batch file and it does echo so i know its avaiable , if i remove the qoutes i get an error parsing the pools file.

Any ideas ? or do i have to just use comand line and not the pools file ?

If so any examples ?

Ok so I seem to get pretty much the same hashrate on v7 and v8 on my RX 570s.

59/8/2 for v7, 1225 core, 1940 mem = 955-960 h/s
57/16/2 for v8, 1225 core, 1940 mem = 955-960 h/s

Took me a while to achieve stability (one of my cards is starting to get flaky - EDIT: or is there any chance memory errors could be caused by bad risers?) but this seems to hold for now.

Next up: The Vega's.

Wish me luck...

Damn thats a crazy high hash rate for XMR what mem strapps u use ?

In winter, the profit increases slightly because you reduce heating costs. Rigs provides enough heat to heat nearby space. In addition, to reduce the cost of electricity, you need to reduce the consumption to a minimum, and undervolt the core of Rx 570 to 830-850 mV.

This is not necessarily true. It depends where you live.

If you live in a cold climate and the main source of heat is by natural gas, then mining with electricity will not always offset your heating costs.

In general using electricity to a main source of heat is not very efficient so many cold climates adapted to natural gas. And natural gas is usually capped in the winter so even if its -30C people can still afford to heat their homes.

btw i have a 2800 square foot house rigs are in the basement.  Its currently 40 degrees and i have to open 3 windows lol
and turn on my basement windows 3k cfm intakw fan or it would be a sauna

wrong again, I live in north dakota its cold as hell here and we use gas for heat and water but, ive turned. my gas off for two years now, 100 gpus easily actually overheats the house and fully powers my hybrid heat pump water heater, I run heat pump only mode , this year i used only 350khw on water heateing and i pay zero for house heating.  I also hand dry everything
386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Crazydane's 32 kw solar array build feeding 16 kw worth of miners on: October 17, 2018, 06:06:25 AM
Thanks was an honor Cheesy my audio was a total bust but gives me an excuse to bug crazydane for an updated one!

Sure!  Maybe once I get all my miners situated in/near my shop this spring, would be a good time for a follow up.

Would love to see an update on your farm and how things are going!
For some reason the pictures on the original first post aren't showing.  But I appreciate you letting out all of this information and how you set everything up.

I do have some questions as I am looking to bring my farm onto a solar system.
Currently running 27 1080's and 8 1070's pulling roughly 4800kwh depending on the algorithm to be safe lets just say 5000w.  I live in Texas where we get lots of sunlight throughout the days. While running the farm for 24h on 240v pulling 5000kwh, how big of a solar system do I need? I've found a solar calculator here: https://www.renogy.com/calculators/#tab_size-ongrid that says I would need at least a 33.3k solar system which would come out to 111 - 300w solar panels. Is this calculator right? Or would I only need a 5000w solar system since that is all the power I am wanting to consume?
I also am debating between on-grid and off-grid systems. I only really need the system for the mining farm and not focused on providing electricity for the house though if possible it would be nice, the house is using between 1000-2000kwh. What are the benefits of both on-grid and off-grid for a mining farm?
I have the power lines running into the house breaker box then wire running into the garage where I have another breaker box with multiple 120v plugs and one 240v plug. Where would you set up the solar system? Directly to the 240v mining plugs or into the garage breaker box? Where does the solar system plug into? Also say your solar system doesn't provide enough power that day, how would you go about swapping between solar and using the electricity companies energy to insure the farm stays up and running 24/7?
Lastly is there certain panels or a company you can suggest?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear back from you!
- Badoggy.
111 300 watt panels is way more power than 27 gpus will use, in the day at least lol, thats like a 30kw power system.

a 10kwh system is like 20 to 30 panels , thats more in your power range


Yeah true. So from my understanding if I wanted 10kwh I would need 33.3 (can't have a third of a solar panel) so 34 panels each doing 300w to pull in 10200w every hour.
I see 10-12 hours of sunlight but guessing I only have 5-7 hours of peak sunlight to draw in that much electric power, so I'm going to go with 5 hours just to be on the low side and make sure I get enough panels. Which would mean with 34 panels 300w each for 5 hours I can produce 10200w per hour and 51000w in 5 hours which would be per day. But I am looking for run my entire farm on solar 24h every single day, so from my understanding I would need 120000w per day, using 5000w every hour for 24h. So I would need 80 panels each doing 300w which would produce 24000w every hour, for 5 hours which would come out to 120000w per day. With 80 panels producing 120000w per day I should be able to run my 5000w farm for 24h a day? Or do y'all think I would need the 111 panels which this calculator suggests that I would need? https://www.renogy.com/calculators/#tab_size-ongrid

My question to anybody out there that has a solar system or has the knowledge.  Is my math correct, would I only need 80 panels each producing 300w or would I need 111 panels like the calculator suggests to produce the 120kwh I would need to run my 5kwh farm for 24h a day. Or would I only need the 34 panels to produce 10.2kwh to run my 5kwh farm for 24h a day? 
Also do y'all know of some better panels that can produce more watts therefore I would need to put up less panels and use less space? Currently looking at the Renogy 300w panels.
I don’t understand why you need so many panels, you cant store that much power and grid buy back programs pay low rates like 1 to 2 cents per kw , so you would still have to but some from the grid , you have to check what your local utility pays and if there is a cap.

388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 on: October 16, 2018, 05:59:17 PM
Ok I can test pow8 now. But note that I does not guarantee that I will release new version or that I will do it before upcoming fork, this is free miner now and I'm not going to add any fees again, so check other miners, there are many of them.

I guess i shut down the rigs on oct.18 until no update to pow8, dont care to mess around with others. Fee is the least problem, most of us pay it gladly for this fine miner.

I think so. I have a few R9 nano, it will not run seamlessly on other miners.

yeah, I have the same problem, my furys and nanos won't run on srbminer because it reports a problem of having too low vram, wtf?

so not true, SRB 1.6.8 work with R9 Fury good
i meant on cast xmr sorry, srb just seem to have huge curve
389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Hard Fork Test Goes Awry, “No Constantinople In 2018“ on: October 15, 2018, 06:15:39 AM
They couldn’t find a miner to support the reduction in block reward.  What I bet happens is Ethereum ends up having to hard fork away to get these changes implemented.  Miners will stick to the chain they on now because they don’t want to see a reduction in profits. Problem Is those propping the coin up are the ones wanting the reduction.  Stuck between rock and hard place I’d say.  Quite the conundrum. End result will be loss in mining rewards in terms of usd no matter what they decide.  I’d say pow mining has some major issues that need addressed.  Maybe it’s not a viable way to secure a blockchain.  Greed if left unchecked becomes cancerous in nature.  If that is what is to happen to crypto then so be it.  just be ready for it is all I ask

BR

Hmm. Maybe if devs gave even a single fuck about... decentralization and ASIC resistance then maybeeeee miners would have helped out on testnet.

But nope

"ASIC resistance - Do we even care about that" Actual quote from dev meeting. Obviously miners are the fault here and not the devs despite what whitepaper says /s


It will be cool if miners say fuck you to the devs and refuse to fork, it probably won’t happen but its a huge risk I have a feeling these cowardly devs don’t have the ball to risk , thus the delay lol

Hi
   Claymore as i didnt know  what you were doing with this miner i have tried several other miners and firstly i find them a lot harder to set up than your miners  and secondly i cannot get the same speeds as i do with your miner   with your miner i hash at 840 h/s
with others it can be as low  as 690 h/s  so will be really happy if you upgrade your miner to use the new v8 alog will you be doing the cpu version as well as for no fee  tbh  i would rather you place it back and keep the support up  as i dont know your plans and tbh nothing to do with me  would like to see you continue with your miners and perhaps  a new one if something good comes out
 i must say many thanks for your miners as ive been using them for prolly 2 years or more i like that they are simple for me to set
up and your continued supports of them  and they do kick the other miners arses.
You can use my guide, I've updated miners that comes with Monero v8 support
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126975.0
Here you can find config settings

Please update Claymore 11.3 for Cryptonote. It is much more reliable and we receive much better hashrates from it. WE will pay a fee. Cryptonight is a much better project to support than anything taken over by the ETH monopoly. It is geared towards Satoshi's principles of decentralization and leaving the networks security to the Public. V8 is going to enhance the security of GPU mining and allow other optimized computers ((other than ASICs) to co exist.

Sincerely,

Coin Forge, LLC

P.s. What a  destructive year to the community it has been.

True on all counts, claymore needs to get off his millionare ass. and either open the fucking source so others can take over development of the cn development or implement v8 changes.

393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain launches the new AntMiner DR3 (Decred ASIC Miner) on: October 14, 2018, 07:26:59 AM
i clocked both of mine to the max at 450 Frequency, lots of HW errors - im at 3.6% HW error rate doing this at max frequency

From the web interface
1d6h34m24s   Current GH/S  8,526.48    AVG GH/S  8,531.99  

Both run about the same, (the other is showing 8.7 TH/s

Got 1 on monday and other on thursday (due to held up in customs).  No fees via Fedex for US customs on both (both were in same order too, dont know why 1 came monday and the other was delayed until thursday) - no power supplies ordered, but i can tell you bitmain is gaming the paperwork with random jibberish as to whats inside so fedex probably too confused on that aspect.  Different from prior antminer orders.

From the dashboard at btc.com (im in the US, using their china node so not optimized but didn't have time yet to setup anything else) as  i'm not on any pools that supported DCR stuff.  And as usual it wouldnt work at nicehash when i tried there first.

DCR earnings Yesterday
0.56099935

And its showing 17.56 TH/s avg at the pool for what it's worth and 16.5 TH/s 'real time' showing at BTc.com's pool. .  So obviously my hw errors and reported speed net down to the real number they show.

I've got too many items plugged in to tell what its pulling at the wall with the over clock sorry.  But my APC PDU shows 3.92 KW with (2) of these Antminers, and 4 x Z9 mini's and about another 200 watts for a couple of cisco ASA / switches in thatrack powered on the same pdu.  

No doubt it will be a long ROI battle at the end, but getting in as early as possible leaves some hope.

But figured that info may help some.  My opinion, its a horrible power hungry box compared to other DECRED miners coming soon, but i've learned my lesson - get the very first units, or don't bother.  Then sell it on ebay about 30-45 days in... guaranteed roi that way.   Of course just because i learned my lesson doesn't mean I will follow it, i just keep running them in the farm long past when i should sell them off usually.


A fewl and his money.... Ill leave that here lol

pussy shit? lol are u drunk ? network admin is the easiest job to outsource in all It , and you are always one socially engineered data breach away from a pink slip every month lol , I give u three years 😂 if that.

ford layoffs is because the make bad cars duh, even if its due to china , they buy more than us dummy, the only reason they can ACT like it doesn’t hurt them is those commies subsidize all thier industry, basically everything is

I'm usually drunk, but that wasn't me. Though based on your grammar, comments, and oh-so-engaging six year old level insult, I'm hoping you were when you wrote that.
No suprise there you sound like a perpetual drunk, I could give flying fuck about grammer on a forum idiot, you get the point which is all that matters , its typical with losers when they are stumped on an argument or debate they try to switch the subject , no ones buying what you’re selling , pussy shit lol.

If you guys believe in BTC, then mine whatever alt you are mining and sell for BTC and hold that BTC for months...years

If you guys believe in ETH, then mine ETH, and cold storage it and hold it for months...years

If there are some promising alts/token that can change the world, then sell some of your mined BTC or ETH and buy those tokens and hold for months...years

There were many cycles like this in the past. The true believer kepts mining at a loss or break-even just to accululate some coins and in the end it always paid off.
yup , those guys that kept mining dash and ltc and even vertcoin back in 2013 laugh at these posts

Mining in flats is more of a hobby, most apartments don’t even charge for heat so you are wasting a resource there.  I guess one benefit is drying your cloths with the heat, and saving on your electric there?

home owned mining you can have a decent sized farm and and get alot of benifit from solar since residential rates are high most places.  Also u can have a heat pump water heater tap off some of that heat and save power and also dry your clothes

You are talking about right things. But in fact it's very difficult to realize. Also payback of these technical solutions is too long espessially at current price levels of crypto.
Much more simpler to rent a rack in data center and don't worry about cooling, noise and safety

Yes if you can get a data center rack for a good price, That solution usually isgood for asics since they have low matinance, gpu rigs need too much babysitting imo.

I agree right now its a bad idea to do anything but crypto will go back up and at that time u might regret not investing in the future
398  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Check your Electric Bill on: October 12, 2018, 09:53:06 PM
Long time miners have always know about summer vs winter rates, its typical

your sumner rates are actually not bad.  I pay .08 in winter and .13 to .15 in summer
I twns to shut down in the summer.  


Next summer i go solar so i can keep mining

I have 6kW worth of solar panels on the roof. On nice warm summer days I can mine basically for free for some hours a day. The perfect combo is having double the solar of what you need to mine with and find a good way to store the excess energy to use it during the night. Batteries are the most common solution for this. However I saw a very interesting documentary on storing excess energy with inertia. Very cool stuff.

In any case I have yet to just arrange something with my home automation so that my miners start/stop depending on the watts I produce. Just haven't had time to get to it.

Of course solar panels is great solution if you reside in own house. But what to do in city flats? Unfortunatelly mining profitability now is closer and closer to the electricity cost. Though in winter mining rig can produce some useful heat  Cheesy
