I was expecting more that could actually help newbs to maximize hashrate but unfortunately its only a plain mining like a childs play
missed many important keypoints
- Profitability
- powering hardware
- GPU mods
- precautionary measures
- etc..
I would recommend Mattthevs guide rather than this

I have disabled the floppy drove, FDC controller, I have disabled sound, I have not disabled USB as the mouse and keyboard are in fact USB, I have switched video from onboard to PCIE, still the same result. While I trouble shoot is there a possibility that a board just is not able to accept 2 cards with a riser, or that is not really an option ?
try to Set your PCIe in your Bios to lower such as Gen1 in any case if still cant detect it, you may consider buying a newer boads there are a lot of decent second hand boards out there for less than 50bucks |

Who is paying for the electricity? They allow it to be used? Bare in mind that mining uses so much power people in the building will notice.
I live in a student residence with a flat rent including water and electricity. My renting contract allows me to use up to 10kW. I assume that „commercial“ use of the power is not really welcomed by the landlord but on the other hand it doesn’t say so explicitly in the contract and I’m also using my computer and phone commercially which I do charge with the same power. I was thinking about one or two bitcoin miners but then thought there might be more economic ways of mining. For Bitcoin i found the Antminer S7 ( https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/mining/hardware/antminer-s7/) which would amortize itself within 4-5 Months at the present bitcoin price. It uses about 1,4kW so starting with one an maybe upgrading to 2 or a maximum of 3 in the future would be well covered by my contract. Any other suggestions for mining hardware / different currencies to mine? I would like to spent no more than 500€ for the beginning. Well that clears it up. I guess you are in the clear if they explicitly say that you can use up to 10kW and have no provision for any "commerical" use of electricity. Just make sure they don't hear or notice your miners. If you use ASICs the noise could end up being so loud (without major DIY modifications) that your landlords start making inquiries on what you are doing. Given this, I would recommend building GPU rigs as they are more quiet and don't make the room as warm as what ASICs would. Some 2nd hand R9 Fury GPUs would be good for faster ROI. Consider also your electrical wiring designs, is the 10kw contract really be true then check the building wires going to your planned locations, check also the breakers. mining is a fire hazard when not carefully considered those electrical designs I bet you don't wanna burn building someday  |

RX 570 Claymore's Ethereum 10.2 works stably but new versions are turned off for someone with this problem or who knows the solution.
More often people here will most help you out, however we need other information on your rig and miner configurations see this thread for guidelines on what to share in order to speed up tracking the root cause and solutions to be shared with you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3191707.0 |

 Yes, it is a topic that will be related at this time with the same month but different year. Price of altcoins going up.
But the price of Altcoin is down Yeah, seeing those post regularly, They have in different flavors but in same taste this post hit them All WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2208927.msg22248565#msg22248565 |

If anyone would tell better/more profitable coin to mine in 30min profitability would drop by 2-3x... pointless
yeah, so better find it yourselves and keep it yourselves only, that's what real miners do it applies not only on mining physical golds or silvers but also with crypto's  |

Thanks for the quick reply., I knew it had something to do with the pcie lanes available on the chip set, yet even if the chip set has 30 pcie lanes they are used by usb ports (including on board risers) as well as many other mobo features and if there are any left over they might not be turned on in the bios.,
Is there any reliable place to find the info needed for a certain board? Or could you tell me specifically whats needed and ill do the digging for the boards I have.
Thanks again!
Simply look at your mboards chipset and CPU/type model, you may now search it how many PCIE Lanes available for them sample on this link https://silentpc.com/articles/performance-and-pci-express-bus-lanes |
|
|

Looks like you are run out on your PCIE Lanes, have you tried disabling other on board perf like USB and sounds thru motherboard Bios? |

My rigs has 8 GPUs of PowerColor RX580 4G Samsung VRAM. Claymore 11.6/11.7 just crashes at startup. GPU Z reported that there is no OpenCL. But in Radeon Setting, there is OpenCL. Screenshots:  What I did: - Virtual Memory to 20000 MB - Set the 5 recommended environment variables - DDU, reinstall Blockchain Driver 23rd Aug - Revert to stock rom (no modded) Please help me. Thank you very much. I have a feeling it has been blocked by defender check your AV and firewall settings and exclude Claymore miner things you want to try: Try other miners, like Claymore Cryptonote or nicehash, just to isolate if its a driver or hardware issue |

hello i try to install windows 10 and immediately run claymore with out update windows 10 and same problem if we return to windows 7 how we can run 6 gpus or more  ? Try other OS instead how about SMOS? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1541084.0 |

I want make a clasic ether rig With a evga power supply and rx 580 cards. But I remember..... An blackout is not lethal for a rig?. I live in a tropical country with outage every 2 months How could I protect my investment from the blackouts Nope, instant shutdown wont do lethal, it could only harm your earnings when unattended and if you don't have any automation to do auto power on when electricity is back My other rigs are placed in location same as yours and in a given month it would power loss twice, still mining it for years it would only do OS system health check power fluctuation to much higher voltage is a different story |

temp-74 on 2x MSI single fan Radeon RX 580 8GB (Micron) stock settings
I guess, This one might be the culprit, try to increase your temperature limit to at least 85c single fans are prone to high temps, monitor them if they arent reach on 74C |

I'm getting errors with the DevFee,
CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.
GPU1 failed
GPU1 CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG
GPU1 failed
WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart miner
I'm mining Ubiq and it used to be fine like this a month ago, like 3 weeks ago I started having those errors, don't remember which version I was using then. I didn't change it until two days ago, also updated my drivers to 397.31 at the same time. Currently I'm using 11.7 and after about 10 hours without problems I now get this error again.
GPU0 is a GTX1060 6GB
GPU1 is a GTX1050TI 4GB
DevFee server is us1.ethermine.org
I'm using the standard start.bat with: EthDcrMiner64.exe -allcoins 1 -epool stratum+tcp://ubiq-eu.maxhash.org:10008 -ewal 0x -epsw x -eworker work1 -allpools 1 -asm 1
Is there a way to get rid of this error?
Try to allocate or increase your Virtual memory to at least 50GB if still has an error try -eres 0 Claymore's supports cn-heavy?
No it dosn't support it, and you are in the Wrong thread, this is for Ethereum Algo, you must go to Cryptonight thread instead https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0 |

hi guys just wondering if i wanted to start with mining,
i have 3000€ investmentmoney
what device and what coin shoul i mine?
thanks
for the device you almost have same query here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3421602.msg35775557#msg35775557as for the coin, you may choose for the most profitable thru online calculators whattomine.com or search on low difficulty coins and has potential value |

Hi, co-miners.
I have a small miningoperation going, looking like this:
Win10
Gigabyte Z270 Gaming K3 F8 mining bios.
7700K
16 gb ddr4
1300w Evga psu
Gtx 1080 gpu 21 Mh/s Eth (Claymore 11.7)
Gtx 1060 mini 6gb 15 Mh/s Eth (Claymore 11.7)
AMD R9 290x 8bg 29 Mh/s Eth (Claymore 11.7)
AMD RX 570 Ellesmere 8gb mining ed. 25 Mh/s Eth (Claymore 11.7)
By overclocking ram, Gtx 1080 goes from 21 to 25. Gtx 1060 goes from 15 to 21.
R9 290x is too hot to overclock.
RX 570 shows no effect on overclocking, gpu clock unstable, runs hot, 77c fast. (bios mod and dagpatched)
Drivers, 23 august blockchaining driver AMD (1029)
Latest nvidia driver.
Link speed Gen 2. Above 4G enabled.
I am hearing these numbers should be higher. What is wrong? What should I be getting?
Seems your hashrate is already reasonable except RX570 when it is modded, you should be getting around 29mhs |

hard to guess, however reading from your post and using and XMRrig miner
you're trying to mine a Cryptonight Algo coin, Most of these algo's were already Forked and used other Algo's already so better check it out
what might be the implications if you mine a wrong algo on a wrong miner? you will got incorrect/rejected share/your IP will get banned/ you will no longer connect to the pool.
It might be that you concluded an internet connection issue coz you're not connected to pool

guys i have a 1060 3GB card running on a windows 10 64bit. 8GB RAM
when i try the latest claymore the error is below
CUDA error 11- cannot allocate big buffer for DAG.
tried increasing virtual memory but no luck still not working
tried putting -eres 0 but no luck still not working
any ideas guys? thanks
Had the same issue pop up outta nowhere, bump up your virtual memory. i went from 16gb to 50gb just because. But you have 3GB cards so your problem might be something else. seems 3GB is not working anymore on ETH and ETC, on epoch 186 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2880023.100suggest to mine other coins on these GPU's |

You can download last Nvidia driver 397.31 from site. You can install new driver. When installing the driver, select expert mode and clean installation.
That's actually the first thing I did. I just tried it again, no difference  can you check your event logs Startmenu type eventvwr Windows Logs>Application you may get an idea on the cause of error |

I assume that "Cloud services doesn't belong here!" refers to services like hashflare... Note that what i am describing in this post is very different. Also i have seen several guides for setting up azure in this very subforum, so i honestly believe i am not breaking any rules here.
Agree, The rules referring to the 3rd party cloud mining services, what OP want to point out is your own cloud mining and totally different @OP, how does it differ if we could use other mining app out there compared to yours? 4% is a bit high for the fees |
