Actually, Ethermine has lowered their ETH pool minimum payouts. You used to receive payouts above 0.1 ETH every week and 0.05 ETH every two weeks. Now you receive daily payouts above 0.1 ETH and monthly payouts for balances above 0.01 ETH. You can also request a manual payout on a balance of >0.005 ETH and pay the transaction cost. They also support L2 Polygon network payouts to reduce mainet network load and transaction costs. https://ethpool.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/8000060967-ethermine-org-payout-policyOk dude please read the article you posted carefully next time. Ethermine not lowered the minimal payouts - they increased it a little bit. But adjust your payout threshold and all is fine - Monthly automatic payout on the 28th of each month for all balances above 0.01 ETH that have not received a payout during the last 21 days (network tx fee paid by the pool) - no payout after 2 weeks anymore. - no more payout after a week for balances over 0.1 ETH - daily payout can adjust from 0.1 - 10 ETH I guess you missed this part Ethereum Layer 1 (Gas limit: 100,000)
-) Daily automatic payout of all balances above your configured payout threshold (10 - 0.1 ETH, network tx fee paid by the pool)
-) Monthly automatic payout on the 28th of each month for all balances above 0.01 ETH that have not received a payout during the last 21 days (network tx fee paid by the pool)
-) Manual on demand payout of all balance above 0.005 ETH (network tx fee to be paid by the miner; only for non-custodial wallets (requires MetaMask signature))
Side-chain (Matic/Polygon)
-) Daily automatic payout of all balances above 0.005 ETH (network tx fee paid by the pool)
We highly recommend smaller miners to use Polygon / Matic to receive their payouts promptly. That is in fact 20x lower than their previous minimum daily automatic payout of 0.1 ETH. |

Use DDU in safe mode to do an uninstall of the driver and then install the latest Nvidia driver. You also don't need to use Afterburner. Set the core, memory and power limit offsets directly in the PhoenixMiner config file or string with -cclock, -mclock, -powlim and run PhoenixMiner as an administrator.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Caleb, the Chia farm build Youtuber. He specifically said he didn't buy the cards at MSRP. He paid over 2x MSRP for the cards, around $800 each. https://youtu.be/scnSaXDREYA?t=220 |

Well ETH was actually suppose to go POS back in Summer of 2016. Now 5 years later and still no POS. One thing that ETH dev team is great at is missing deadlines. So there is no concrete answer when it will go POS.
You bigger issue is that ETH sustains its >$2500 price and that the difficult stops growing. Apparently there are many high tech ETH ASICs out there and it will keep increasing the hashrate for the near future, not good for GPU miners.
POS is your last worry right now.
Good thing diff is not growing anymore im following etherscan it highest hashrate was recorded at 650TH now it is slowly going down today 600TH.So far we know eth dev team will do nothing about asics so we all need prepaired for low profit. The latest asics will make profit way too low this time i think. Last bearmarket there wasnt so powerfull asics but now they are serious. When 160Mhs asic deployed it was low but now people talking about asics at 2-2.8Ghs it 20x more powerfull than it used to be. I would bet the new ETH ASIC's are already being used to mine by the manufacturer's, which is why you don't see the diff going up. They only release them when the easy money is gone. I think the question is how many miners are willing to drop $30K for an ASIC that makes $60K a year at current ETH price and difficulty with only 6-9 months of ETH PoW if all goes as scheduled. Once the merge happens, all those ASIC's switching to other ETHASH coins looking to recover their investment is going to make it difficult for GPU's to stay profitable. https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/bitmain/antminer-e9-3gh |

You are confusing the ETH 2.0 scalability upgrade which includes sharding, with the merge that incorporates the PoW chain in to the PoS Beacon chain. As decribed by VB in the interview link I posted, the merge is when PoW will end and that is scheduled to happen by early 2022. The ETH 2.0 upgrade comes after the merge. https://youtu.be/y88qb5GSb8Y |

Hi PhoenixMiner dev team, Is it possible to set new parameter to control/limit the GPU power usage , even though the there is -gpow but this is just control the GPU usage % but the GPU power usage still very high; as it is useful to protect Nvidia GPU for long run, pls consider.
It's already there. From the PhoenixMiner readme.txt -powlim <n>
Set GPU power limit in % (from -75 to 75, 0 for default) |

Check your response time to the stratum server. The built in command line ping utility measures your latency in reaching the server, but it doesn't measure the response time which can cause significant latency if the stratum is overloaded. 2miners have released a tool which also measures the response time from a pools stratum, not just the connection time from your network. Often the performance of various mining pools is verified using the built-in `ping` utility. While this approach is feasible, it is more important to measure the actual response time from the pool, as it may be busy or using some geolocation-based forwarding solution that brings the connecting endpoint closer to the user but then it still takes some significant time for the actual data to be transferred.
Therefore we find useful a mining-specific approach when we measure the amount of time required to connect and successfully pass authentication using the Stratum protocol. This provides more accurate readings in regards of what the mining software will actually do when mining.
We use this tool at 2Miners internally to measure the performance of our pools. It is capable of pinging through IPv4 and IPv6 with or without TLS.
**TL;DR**: The ping to the pool server's box is not as significant as the actual response time through Stratum. https://2miners.com/blog/check-the-real-ping-to-the-mining-pool-server-with-stratum-ping-toolhttps://github.com/2miners/stratum-ping |

IMO, if you want to accumulate ETH, you are better off buying it vs building a farm from scratch. Hardware is still very overpriced and you likely will only have 6-9 months before the move to PoS. With 300 MH/s it would currently take ~5 months to mine 1 ETH and it will probably take even longer once the new ETH ASIC's being released raise the difficulty.

Glad to hear your wife is doing better Phil.
Today that Max Keizer guy (the sailor looking fella in the videos I posted above) went on another rant on some interview and basically took out a $10 bill and ripped it to shreds saying the US dollar is going to zero and to buy Bitcoin.
I wonder if any of you guys were around but he actually released a coin called Maxcoin back in 2014. I remember because I switched from mining Doge to Maxcoin for a little while because it was more profitable. It had its own special algo and I still remember how to estimate the hashrate compared to lite coin mining. Basically multiple your hashrate by 1000 and divide by half. So if you got 500khs mining lite coin with an r9 270x you would get 250MHs mining Maxcoin.
And to sell Maxcoin you had to use a special exchange called, mcxnow. And I remember that exchange had a troll box and it was the first troll box I’ve ever spent sometime in. It’s crazy how it’s been 7 years since then and feels like yesterday.
I use to listen to Max Keiser's podcast "The truth about markets". He is a long time hard money guy like Peter Schiff. On his podcast he mentioned he was releasing a new coin, which is what got me started mining and to register on Bitcointalk. I remember the first launch failed and on the relaunch there was only a CPU miner available, which had to be compiled from source and only solo mining was available. Once it got listed on an exchange it pumped to over $1 and dumped, never to recover. Like 99.9% of the shitcoin ninja launches from back then, nothing more than a BTC money grab. |

Despite being suppressed by fake ranking sites and exchanges, HEX has performed remarkably stable during this latest Crypto downturn. Once the Pulse chain launches, IMO it would be interesting to see HEX evolve in to an interest bearing stable coin for the Pulse network. Similar to the Binnance USD coin on the Binnance chain, which is the closest competitor to the Pulse chain. It would be another first for HEX. RH has mentioned the next target for HEX is $1.

Good video from BBT that goes over getting started mining with your PC. What I would disagree with him is he mentions mining less profitable coins to get yield vs profit. To me it makes more sense to mine what is consistently most profitable for your GPU's and if you want to speculate on other coins, mine to an exchange address and covert it. That way you maximize your profitability and get more yield for your hashrate vs mining less profitable coins directly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-bU6xX7wG4As long as your PC has good ventilation to keep the temperatures reasonable, mining shouldn't affect it's lifespan. The only downside is mining will affect your ability to use the PC for other tasks at the same time, especially GPU intensive tasks. |

People who only started mining with ETH, which I would venture are the majority of current GPU miners, don't know how good they currently have it due to being able to mine ETH, the most widely adopted and developed Cryptocurrency which has evolved in to multiple market segments with NFT's, DeFi, etc fueling the enormous demand for ETH, which under the current PoW model greatly benefits miners by padding the block rewards they receive. I started mining pre-ETH back in 2014 which was after the ASIC takeover of SHA-256. Back then Scrypt and X11 type coins were the vast majority of GPU minable coins. The entire market cap for Altcoins was ~500M instead of the almost 1T it currently is. If you able to make over $1 per card after power that was great. Speculative mining for yield on new shitcoins that were launched daily was the most profitable option. BTC market cap percentage of all Crypto was in the 80-90% range and alts, that were mostly only tradable in BTC, closely followed it's price moves. Once BTC dumped to $300 and the bear market that followed added with Scrypt and X11 ASIC's being released, it became completely unprofitable to GPU mine until ETH launched in 2015 and the GPU mining renaissance that followed supported by ETH's constant development and market adoption. BBT has done and in-depth analysis of the current GPU POW mining options after ETH 2.0 merge. His conclusion is for all the current GPU minable coins, it would take a 10-20X price appreciation to even come close to the current ETH profitability once the hashrate moves over. Something that is very unlikely, especially if the market were to turn negative from it's current state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKW3YMPTV5I |

2200 MHz memory is a pretty high overclock for a Bios modded card. As explained in the guide below, run HWinfo in sensors only mode to check for memory errors and adjust the memory overclock until there are no memory errors or just a few. You should also be able to lower the voltage to 850 mV, which will use less power and the cards will run cooler. http://mining.help |

This video has a good overview and recommendations from someone's experience Helium mining. From what I understand you really need two miners spaced at least 400M apart for your profits to really go up compared to just a single miner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwAPM9KDSg |
