461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Predicting upcoming VOLTA hashrate on: February 27, 2018, 07:37:44 PM
According to Cryptomined, his Nvidia engineer source has stated the new GTX lineup will be called Turing and based on a modified Volta architecture. They won't be released until around July this year.

According to TECHSPOT Nvidia's GTX 2070 and 2080 cards could be unveiled next month, launch late April

That's what I had heard as well. Like he says in the video, according to his source the rumors are not correct. I guess we'll find out.

In Nov 2016 a six card rig could mine several ETH a week. If you held most of the coins you mined, you made a lot more than a couple dollars a day. Of course if you bought ETH back then when it was $10 and held, you likewise did very well, but buying Crypto outright is a lot riskier than mining. Those that bought coins at the end of last year when they were at an ATH are currently down significantly. For many of those coins it will be a long time before they reach that ATH again if ever. Those that were mining during that time are still profitable.

Even during the summer the air outside is much cooler than the air around the GPU's. What you want is a constant flow of air from the outside dissipating the hot air from the rigs. Here is a container design based on the same principle. You can see how cool the rigs are with the constant flow of fresh air.

The goal is to maintain good airflow of cool air going in and hot air going out. A setup like this one is ideal.

467  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why are people so negative about mining? Stop it... on: February 26, 2018, 08:45:00 PM
1. Buying and holding has traditionally been more profitable than mining.

2. Everyone who bought during the craze is about to become obsolete as a new generation of Nvidia cards come out and put them in negative profitability.

If you buy the right coins at the right time. GPU mining is a hedge against a market downturn, in that your ongoing costs are essentially the same for any coin and your cost per coin is less than the market value of those coins. My HD 7850 from 2014 is still mining and profitable.

Mining profits are currently about what they are historically. What is terrible are the prices to startup a rig compared to what they were 2 months ago.
468  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: rig fan cooling management on: February 26, 2018, 05:54:20 PM
The regular $17 box fans pull ~55W on low, 67W on medium and ~75W on high.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lasko-20-in-3-Speed-Box-Fan-3733/100405665

These are more more powerful, but also use more power, ~70W on low, ~90W on medium and ~104W on high.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lasko-20-in-Power-Plus-Box-Fan-B20540/300202629

I keep mine on low. I can also use a single box fan for a 13 card double tier rig.

469  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: rig fan cooling management on: February 26, 2018, 04:15:31 PM
Box fan, cheap, easy to replace, lot's of airflow and more effective than messing with a bunch of small fans that don't do as good of a job at dissipating heat from around the rig.

Use the -di parameter in the .bat file to index the six cards you want mining to the first wallet and use a second .bat file to index the other two cards to the second wallet.
471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sapphire RX 550 2Gb Best ROI ~ 450 H/s cryptonight on: February 25, 2018, 04:54:58 PM
That's pretty good but the HD 7850 also does ~19.5 MH/s on Ethash coins with a <2GB Dag like UBQ, or ~80 cents/day with a ~3 month ROI.

http://whattomine.com/coins/173-ubq-ethash?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=19.0&p=130.0&fee=3.0&cost=0.12&hcost=80&commit=Calculate

The RX 550 is only ~30 cents/day on XMR.

http://whattomine.com/coins/101-xmr-cryptonight?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=450&p=45&fee=3.0&cost=0.12&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

I highly doubt that, my R9 380 with modified bios is doing only 21.5 at ethash algos

Although, your 7850 OCs really well, my MSI 7850 1GB version OCs only to 1350

Also, monero is not the frist option for cryptonight these days, there are more worthy coins
(although most of them are shitcoins, but hey, people still buy them Smiley )

1020/1500 at -ethi 1 will get you 17.5-18 MH/s on Ethash with HD 7850 2GB card. At -ethi 4 you will get ~19.5 MH/s, but the cards will run at 80C< with the stock single fan.

This is a token ICO that has nothing to do with mining Altcoins. It belongs in the tokens section, not here.
473  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is mining with AMD still worth it? on: February 25, 2018, 03:07:36 PM
The RX 580 is still one the better cards to mine ETH with, however finding it on a price closer to its MSRP is quite hard since the GPU price hike last January. We are still hoping to get the prices of the GPUs close to its MSRP since their price is starting to stabilize.

On a cost/hash basis the RX 570/580 are the best new cards for mining ETH and dual mining. I agree it's probably not worth paying $350 or more though.
474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.0 (Windows/Linux) on: February 25, 2018, 02:44:11 PM
That's how the Dev fee works. Claymore replaces your wallet with his and mines for 36 seconds every hour. You should have asked Dwarfpool the time and duration of when the wallets were switched and compared it to the miner logs.
I know that is how the DEV fee works, However that is not the case as Claymore does not mine at 80mh's when he could mine at my full speed, Also when It is mining at that speed in the logs its not the DEV fee mining and the miner stops, then starts the DEV fee with his wallet.

The speed reported on the pool is also a calculated speed based on the frequency of the valid shares you submit, not the hash rate reported in the miner. It varies depending on share difficulty, stale shares, invalid shares and your latency to the pool. Sometimes it's lower or higher than your reported hash rate. On average it should be close to your reported hash rate.

476  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Polaris BIOS editor on: February 25, 2018, 04:45:19 AM
I used the 1.6.7 and it bricked my rx 460. Now I cant even reflashed it coz it wont detect the card anymore. I just figured out that bios editor copied the 1600 straps and even put it on 1500 which I believe that screwed it. Now I need help on reviving my card. Lenovo rx 460 4gb (micron)

It copied 1750 strap and copied it to 1500 on mine.. no problem.

PBE 'one click timing patch' dosen't copy straps. That's the wrong way to do a Bios mod. PBE replaces the timings with it's own bundled performance straps. In most cases the bundled straps should work.
477  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Bitmain Made As Much Money As Nvidia In 2017 on: February 25, 2018, 03:06:03 AM
Quote
This week, Bernstein analysts released a report into Bitmain’s operations. It estimates the Chinese firm to have made $3-$4 billion last year from mining cryptocurrency and for selling the equipment for others to do the same.

If Bernstein’s figures are accurate, Bitmain pulled in the same amount as Nvidia last year. Yet while Nvidia is a household name, few people outside of the cryptocurrency space have even heard of Bitmain. Bernstein calculates Nvidia to have made $3 billion in 2017, but points out that it took 24 years for the company to attain that profit level; Bitmain has achieved the same feat in just four years.

The report went on to predict that Bitmain will further increase its dominance of the mining business this year, noting “Bitmain will likely lead the cryptocurrency asic industry and migrate some of its chips to 10nm and the most advanced 7nm. That will make the company one of the top five users of TSMC’s 7nm in 2018, with demand comparable with Qualcomm’s, HiSilicon’s, or AMD’s.”

Proof of the adage that the people making the most money during a gold rush are those selling shovels. Maybe another reason why GPU prices are up?

478  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASUS B250 Mining Board - PCI Express Lanes - CPU support on: February 25, 2018, 12:02:32 AM
The B250 chipset supports 12 native PCI-E lanes. The rest are through a PCI-E expansion chip. Just because the motherboard will theoretically work with a cheap CPU dosen't mean it's the best option. If you plan to run Windows, I would definetly go with a Core i3 for a 12+ GPU rig. A better processor makes the setup, driver installation much faster, the system more responsive and IMO, is worth the extra $60-$80 compared to a bottom of the barrel Celeron which will struggle just to even run Windows 10, much less with 12 or more GPU's.

If you don't control the keys, you don't own shit.

If you don't have experience/infrastructure/whole amount coins for mn, you don't have mn's reward  Wink

And delegating that to some annoynymous noob that can just run off with the funds is a good way to lose the coins you are dumb enough to send. 99.99999% of the masternode coins started in the last months are just scams.


If the masternode wallet supports multisignature, it could be fine.  But, the newbie status would definitely turn me away, that point is granted.
  



All the masternodes that I'm aware of require sending and locking up the masternode amount under a single transaction and wallet address. So basically this clown expects everyone to send him their coins for you to trust him to host the masternode, collect the payments and then send you your percentage. That's like someone saying they are a bank and you can trust them to hold your money for you and pay you interest. Sounds totally legit. LOL

There is one "clown" that's saying: Everybody trust mining pools BUT nobody will trust masternodes pool.  LOL

For one the only thing I'm sending a pool is my hash rate and can set my own auto payout limit. Nobody is leaving hundreds or thousands of USD worth of Crypto locked up on a new pool or on an exchange and if you do, you're an idiot. Trusting some idiot on the internet to manage your masternode for you is just the next level stupid.

If you didn't know, hashpower = electricity = USD. And 5% of coins required by masternode is NOT "hundreds or thousands usd". So who's idiot here?  Grin

Any masternode that is worth having or isn't an outright scam will require several thousands or even hundreds of thousands of USD to hold. If you are too stupid to figure it out, running a successful business requires establishing credibility. Servers and domains used by pools also cost money and time to set up and run, which by investing in that infrastructure beforehand, helps pools establish credibility. Pools aren't saying 'send me your hash rate and I'll set up a pool to pay you with'. Anyone with a legitimate business plan would invest the time and resources to help establish that credibility. Creating a post on a forum with a link to a Discord and Telegram channel that can be set up anonymously by anyone for ZERO cost in 5 minutes does nothing for except to show it's a scam.


An infrastructure for hosting/securing/managing masternodes, time and work of 10+years-experienced IT infrastructure manager and two his helpers is much bigger investment than 10-dollars domain name. If you wish I'll buy one tomorrow for you. Grin

Yea sure and I'm I fucking astronaut. Anybody can setup their own masternode on a VPS and you control you're own keys, which means you actually own it and not some scammer that can run off with it at any time.

You're a scammer and an idiot. Anybody that sends you even 1 SAT is an idiot as well.

Oh! You're astronaut!.. That's great! But who's f*cking you?  Grin And yea.. Youtube is all you need to know to set all up-and-running  Grin

It's enough to setup your own masternode where you control the coins instead of some scammer that expects you to send him coins for the hope he will give some back before they run off with all of them. LOL
