For starters, seeing as you are not doing your own research and probably not earning maximum profits, you could start with simple mining calculators like:
1. whattomine.com
2. cryptunint.com
3. nicehash.com/profit-calculator
As you learn more about mining, you will learn how to use google, search these forums, and read news to find out what is most profitable.
these are the basics, learn from these time goes by, you may want to dig deeper and deeper and would want to be ahead of other miners dont stop simulate thats my take  |

Hi everyone: I haven't done any more research on this since I built this rig in June of 2017. It has 5x GeForce GTX 1060 gpus running in Windows 10. I've been using it exclusively to mine ETH + SC. Apart from that I also started mining XMR using my CPU on my main computer but that soon became too annoying to do (computer gets too slow and noisy) so I stopped after about a month. I was mining XMR via the xmr.nanopool.org pool and was able to accumulate 0.18812771 XMR. So now I want to get that XMR out of that pool. I see that they have a minimum payout of 0.3 XMR (if I'm lucky to change the setting from 1 XMR originally.) Now I stopped mining ETH on my main mining rig and tried to set up XMR mining instead so that I can bring up my XMR balance in the pool to be able to withdraw it. Unfortunately I couldn't find a straightforward XMR mining software for Nvidia GPU mining. I was able to get "xmr-stak-win64" to run on my miner that seemed to have worked for awhile. Unfortunately that miner seems to crash sporadically after about a day of running on my system. Do you know of any XMR mining software for Windows that works with nvidia GPUs? Miners: XMRig for Nvidia, XMR-STAK-NVIDIA, CCminer, Claymore this is the detailed guide from Mattthev Kudos to him https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126975.0 |

is nicehash cryptoniteV7 compatible on this pool? |

Can you show the FPGA working in a video?
How can you limit units? If a user want to buy a lot of pieces...
And the most important, how can we trust to buy and receive the board?
Thanks
Trust is the most important word even at this forums system doesn't trust newbies as it automatically warn members carefully dealing with them I would suggest that OP should ask for a trusted legendary members here for a review of the product and for the payments, an escrow as an example |

Thanks a lot for your response.
I am using ethos to run the miner. I first put the fan speed same for all three cards (85) then set 85 to the affected gpu and 75 for the other two. I am trying to get the noise and heat down so that I don't need to disable for coming summer. I did not do any setup in MSI afterburner.
Any suggestions?
Have you checked what slot installed on this high temp GPU and tried to install/swap on another slot with your mboard? I have also these scenario from one of my rig where in a certain slot of my board when GPU installed were hot, its kinda weird thing and I'd just move it to other slots. |

I forgot to ask in my last post, but I was also wondering this myself. What exactly are they a danger to? I didn't want to sound like a dunce, but I honestly cannot figure it out. Dangerous to overspend on electricity possibly? Increased chance of blowing a fuse, maybe.
Concerning home rooms, intake fans is dangerous because that will make anything that is outside going to your room faster than ever and that should never happen, a very high positive pressure is never good for home rooms. Example, there was a person that placed an intake fan and an exhaust fan, the intake fan was adding more air than the exhaust would remove, for few days, it rained a lot and the air after few days was very humid inside the room and that started causing components and equipment to fail, you can read more about this here http://www.smartfog.com/humidity-in-computer-rooms-what-you-should-know.htmlIf is a huge warehouse, hardly a problem but you need to make sure there are failsafes if intake fans are pulling more air than the warehouse space can take it. So the rule is simple, intake fans = exhaust fans on m3 air, we can't have negative pressure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_room_pressure and we cant have a positive pressure either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_pressure, we have to have something between it and that is why i said intake fans must be = exhaust fans on m3 air, what is coming in is going out but the method is pointless as you can have it only with exhaust fans as I explained before. Nice explanation Metroid, I don't use an intake fans as I've created a window below of my mining room and were already hit the game powerful exhaust fans should truly enough for it with your detailed write ups you get a merit from me |

There is just one point that did not make much sense to me. RVN hashrate, for instance, on launch day had 30MH/s avg network Hrate. If I mined it with e rig of 8x1080Ti GPUs I would have about say 110-120 MH/s for X16R algorithm.
For block time 15sec and block reward 5000rvn total number of coins for the first 24h is 7,200,000. How many coins would I be able to mine? Being over avg network Hrate seems a lil weird to me.
It is due to difficulty and hashrate reliability, the moment miners sees the coin and shared it here and found profitable, every seconds, minute, hours or days you're reward would be frequently changes some pools has its own calculator based on your effective hash so you could have an idea what reward you could expect on a given time |

If you mod bios, why you have to play with start bat file settings, of wattman, afterburner etc ? Or you dont mod bios and just change settings manually?
Some modding bios are just simply copy and pasting straps from lower freq, and didn't play along with the settings there are pros and cons of it, depending on your usage some may prefer doing adjustments thru overclocking tools such as wattman, OD, MSI AB, as they could play it on different algos |

Thanks for answers  The cards are basically the following: Radeon R5 230 R7 240 GPU 4 Gb R7 350 2 Gb HD6450 2 Gb HD6850 2 Gb HD6850 1 Gb Where can the card's power be calculated for any algorithm? 1 kilowatt I have 0,044 $ I have only one Algo that could suggest http://monerobenchmarks.info/basically, I would be more interested on the GPU already listed on the links if I were you, coz they already hash and TDP were already given |

Elaborating some more on electrical costs, I know there are areas where things like "transmission fees", etc are charged onto your bill, usually in Rural areas here in the US (and they can be pretty costly). I can't suggest highly enough to find what those costs are as they make or break mining.
This were the most noticeable seen some locations that the cost per kw is almost equivalent on cost to other fees Lets say 648kwh * $0.10 = $64.85 Other fees, like Distribution charge, Transmission charge, system loss, taxes etc = 60$ so basically 0.10cents /kwh is not the actual cost |

I heard mining would give a standard income every month after the deduction of electricity fees. What you heard is only a rumor, there is no standard income in mining this is so true also to crypto coins But to say the fact, i do not see a decent income as the exchange values of altcoins i mine are low. The coins i mine are; Zcash, Neo and ETH. What about you who mine?
you mine the most popular coin and probably has the highest diff why don't you try other decent coins out there like X16r for Nvidia's and Cryptonote Algo's for AMD's |

for 450w, you could simply put 1 GPU for mining for the safest Allocate - 330w for GPU's, 120w for the system unless you will do underclocking and bios mod, and achieved 150w on each GPU you could get two best GPU? since you are into gaming with mining, better get the best for your gaming needs with those 8GB of mem, and that when mining is not profitable in the future you still have enjoying your rig |

For a new comer in mining, do the ordinary/normal thing If you already gain your confidence in doing maths, risk and controls then you may look at the cloud just look only and calculate, then simulate you will soon realized, better go back to the ordinary thing |

The best and cost effective is not to use an AC What is effective in my mining room is to drive heat outside and let the fresh air in my rigs are more happier than ever not getting those red marks temp A/C may be used if electricity cost doesn't concern with you visit this thread. its also my reference on A/C usage https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1348488.0 |

yes, mining is still profitable, but if you use gpu, please just sell it.
Whoow,GPU regains its profitability for a couple of weeks now hard to let them go these days since they are doing greatly on there job No, Im not gonna sell them yet |

Depending on how much of these
you could still mine monero or cryptonote coins as an alternative
if you could get these GPU's on a very low price, and may have a month or 2 capital returns then why not
they could still make a little resale value later on when mining is not already profitable

No it's not, is far from profitable right now, to be profitable it needs to return your money invested in 3 months cause that is what the warranty of mining cards are, 3 months warranty, so if asus, gigabyte, inno, evga, asrock give you 3 months of warranty then that means they expect you to earn your money back in 3 months because after 3 months the manufacture expect it to fail, break and never work anymore and that is the real truth that trolls ignore.
So anybody saying mining is profitable right now, is a mindless troll.
You don't have to use mining GPU for mining, buy a normal one and get at least 2 years of warranty (2 years is minimum in EU). Of course, you should not overpay for your GPU. And mining IS profitable. How so? I am living in a developing (kindof) country where it's money is worthless. Let's forget this for a minute. What type of mining and coins that you think its profitable. Could you please be more specific? Be a real miner, search for it if you disclosed it here, everybody jumps in and you may not able to enjoy what you are having right now that's basically what the real miners ability is |

I heard that mining will die in 2016, then that it will die in 2017. Now I hear about 2018. Mining at the GPU is working and working.
If you could basically think of it, yeah, It might die, however turn of events could not be easily predicted, like coin developers decisions ASIC and FPGA, they already exists a long time ago, its like a war of improvements Lets see how it goes, same with coins oh btw, seen some AI mining for gpu's  |

Looks like the link to download v4.0 doesn't work. THe mirror doesn't have it either. Did dev remove it on purpose due to bugs?
its working on my side try Mega.co.nz https://mega.co.nz/#F!Hg4g1bLT!4Upg8GNiEZYCaZ04XVh_yg https://imgur.com/a/jCE6ZuM |
