Use google Remote Desktop.  I use awesome miner makes it very easy.  I can control mining on all my machines from one machine.

Like any other business mining is profitable for those got in early and didn't pay insane prices for gpus and have low electricity cost.  My 60 1070s and 30 470s from early 2017  are still making a profit after I pay electricity and my gpus payed from themselves long ago.  I never paid inflated prices for my gpus or ASICs and my electricity is $ .049 KWH.

Lots of pools will mine coins and convert them to BTC.  Down load awesome miner it has a few profit switching pools built into its softwre.

late 2019 is a long ass time away....... Just sayin

Right plenty of time to make money with ASICs before they are no good.

Lol, if you think you will make abnormally high profits for extended periods of time.  The bear market will ring out the weak hands and fly by night morons who bought 1k gpus.  If you have low electricity cost and bought equipment at a decent price your fine.

Or you can do what 90% of investors do buy high and sell low!

I don't get what they are trying to do.  If eth can only do 20 transactions per second wouldn't the devs want to speed it before they do anything else?  For the past two years POS has been right around the corner.  Doesn't seem much use being so slow.  But my block chain knowledge is limited so I'm talking out my ass.  
408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Breaker blowing with no changes in mining hardware on: October 21, 2018, 10:57:47 PM
Thought I figured out out but the 60 amp 220 breaker blew again last night and now the breaker box smells hot.  So I shut off the breaker and I'm going to call an electrician.  Killing me to not be running but its better then a burned down house.  I'm assuming its the breaker since it smells hot and I've cycled off and on all my rigs and the breaker keep blowing.  Once its fixed I'm moving a couple rigs inside until I get more power to my shed, I'm guessing I ran it too close to the limit for to long.

I have .049 electricity and haven’t stopped mining.   I bought my rigs two years ago and they have been paid for many times over.  My 200 amp breaker in my house is maxed out and I’ll mine until I can’t make any money.  I think people need to realize all markets have ups and downs and after a huge bull run it can take two years to recover.  Next time and huge run up happens don’t be the fools buying at the top, when crypto is all over the news and your neighbors are talking about its time to be weary.  I’ve traded stocks, combcocities and options for 25 years and it’s always the same cycle.


This is exactly why this system isn’t made for long term in mind.  When the point comes that you inevitably have to shut down that’s just one more axe into the decentralized idea.   How will this system stay secure during the lows when it consolidates both price and miners.  That’s the whole problem with the boom bust cycle.  Take a step back and look at all industries. Booms and busts force consolidation into smaller and smaller pools of people. Thus aggregating the power to the top 1% again.  Ohhh boy do we have a clusterfuck on our hands

You guys know more about the coins techincal aspects then I do.  But I would think if you have coins committed to be ASIC resistant then we might have hope.  Markets cycle and you have to always be prepared, your going to have bad years no one will make a consistent $4 a day per gpu.

Like the above poster said. Before you go replacing the breaker, make sure to test every PSU first.

I've had something similiar happen. The breaker kept blowing and I assumed it was a bad breaker. However after switching the rigs to another breaker the same thing happened AND after a few attempts I heard a VERY VERY LOUD BOOOOM!.

And basically it was some internal short with 1 PSU. I think the first few times the current protection shut it off and then it didn't work, so then the breaker shut it off and then finally some huge capacitor on the PSU basically exploded like a bomb, scared the crap out of me and took probably 2 days or so to get rid of the smell.

So just test your other rigs first and make sure its not a PSU that has gone bad.


This also might be a factor, I have the house maxed out and anymore and I blow the main 200 amp breaker, I have rigs in the basement also.  I have $.049 electricity so I'm still mining all I can.  I was thinking about have a new line run to the garage from the telephone pole but I'm not sure how much that will cost.
412  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Breaker blowing with no changes in mining hardware on: October 20, 2018, 11:00:10 PM
Thanks for all the replies.  It looks like it might have been a bad psu and or breaker.  At the breaker box in the garage I replace one of the 20 amp breakers that stooped working and when I plugged one of the psus back in it made a loud pop and is now turned off.  Everything is running right now expect for the rig with the bad psu.

Funny you mention the gauge of the wire for the 60 amp breaker.  The person who owned the house before me was an electrician and ran a wire that was too small for 60 amps, lol.  I had it replaced a few months ago by an electrician  and had everything checked and brought up to code.

I have a 60amp 220 breaker powering my detached garage.  I've been running my rigs fine for 2 years no problems.  Made some changes 1 month ago and everything ran fine for a month.  Last night the 60 amp breaker tripped, I shut down half the rigs and ran them and it tripped again.  Could a breaker go bad?  Could it be a rig  with some kind of power problem?  If its a power supply drawing too much juice how do I find it?
414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Today I turned off all the miners I manage on: October 19, 2018, 07:53:58 PM
I keep mining my electricity is $.049.  I replaced my AMD rigs with ASICs because I ran out of electricity, keep blowing the main breaker and the AMD cards were making the least after electrical cost.  10 series cards are ok mining 16r but not great. 

What I'd really like to do is run another line to my garage and keep everything running, I could run my rigs and ASICS for a long time and still be profitable at 4.9 cents a kilowatt hour.

If you look at the cost of hosting $420 for a year it seems too good to be true. 
416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Buy more GPU or go in FPGA ? on: October 15, 2018, 01:01:38 PM
I have cheap electricity $.049 and I wouldn’t buy GPUs.  I’m running 50 gpus and 7 ASICS and the gpus are hardly worth running.  I’m tempted to shut down the gpus and replace with one or two ASICs but I’m not sure the ASICs will ever ROI.

I've had really bad results with Zpool also, not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

Is their custom firmware that helps with over clocks?
