So far zpool for, skein is all I use.
I am short time as I built 3 mining gaming 2 card rigs tested and will drive them to the buyers.
Coins are so hot now all my friends that game want a 2 card 1080ti rig.
I can build a good one for them and they earn back money when they are not playing.
So top of the line rigs became a lot more affordable for them .
So great, I've been telling friends to just build a "gaming" rig since all of them wouldn't even know where a ram stick went so don't even know what BTC is let alone an AltCoin - but I'm showing them my profits and telling them just build a gaming machine to get their feet wet. They see the amount I've put in in just the last 2 weeks I've spent a few dozen BTC so they know I'm not BSing them. I just want to see everyone learning more about altcoins and crypto in general. So fascinating to me, and I'm not a tech person I'm a certified financial planner lol. |

Well I thought Linux was needed, but so far I'm up to almost 30 windows 10 machines and none of them have gone down for updates or anything yet. It's not a HUGE pita, it's tolerable for now. Maybe if I expand more it will be an issue, but for now I'll just keep adding risers to each machine since all of them are riserless for now. Teamviewer fucked me though and now I can only log into any computer for 5 minutes before it cuts me off- which is fine because I'm only logged in for a few seconds but it's still fucked up they hit me with commercial usage suspected. What... a person can't own 30 computers for non commercial reasons? WTF is the world coming to  |

Going to get cracking on this 1080 TI build tomorrow !
You just going to set the mobo on the birch? I was having issues with the 1080's being so heavy, they would lean to the side then the mobo would lose the connection with the GPU, had to secure the GPU so it wouldn't move or wiggle. That's the ONLY reason I'm in cases right now till I build a stabilizer bar for the GPUs What was your exact setup? Ran out of gaming cases so just had it on piece of wood - GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-UD3 ATX i3 4gb ram 1TB SSD (ran out of small ones) EVGA g2 850w 3 1080 Ti's Flawless now that GPUs are screwed in. |

If you were really sorry you would have browsed all the threads to right about here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.2360I did when I first joined. There are TONS of discussions on that, browse through and check them out. Ultimately, it's up to you and the pricing you get in your country - 3/2/1 they hash about the same in that ratio so go with what's easiest for you or long term goal or resale goal. |

This is my gaming PC. I wanted to mine something like SC (Siacoin) or ETH or ETC. Or anything else that may be up and coming.
Any advice? Is my single 1080GTX enough to mine the coins mentioned above?
A GTX 1080 will be able to mine ETH just fine, but comes at a price. Since the card on a windows machine underperforms greatly at a hash rate of 4-5 MH/s you must install Linux that will result in a significant boost to 22-23 MH/s.However in order to determine if it will be worthwhile you need to calculate it thoroughly by trying it out yourself to get a certain result. Afterwards you should visit coinwarz and calculate with your power cost how much money you will be making in the end. By mining however you will be giving up your gaming PC. https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/ethereum-mining-calculatorIn my opinion you shouldn't be doing it, at least with this card and by giving up your gaming PC. You can sell it and get a cheaper one along with a mining rig. Thank you for the reply. When you say I'd be giving up my gaming PC... can I not mine when I sleep or when I'm out for the weekends or do I need to have the machine mining 24/7 to get results? I probably won't mine ETH. But I was thinking of mining an alt coin with lower difficulty (like SC)... hoping to mine it during the night or when I go out of town. Kinda makes no sense. Logically - of course you can mine when you sleep only... or on the weekends only... or 24/7. Logically it's very simple. Mine for: 1 minute = 1min * hash rate 8 hours = 8hrs * hash rate 1 wkend = 48hrs * hash rate Return is just based off that, so if it's worth it or not, YOU do the math. It's not difficult, calculate it, come up with a conclusion. |

Why should I invest in your hosting platform instead of Giga Watt http://[Suspicious link removed]/ugese Their prices seem lower if you do the ICO, not sure about the retail price comparison https://giga-watt.com/promo/pricesWhat do you guys offer that they don't? Not trying to spam your thread, legitimately wondering what you offer that sets you apart. I see you are focused on ETH, is that something you do better than Giga Watt? And what happens when ETH goes PoS and ends mining? I will prepare full explanation today or tomorow evening. Thank you for the question. cReepas Hi, apologies for the late reply - just wanted to take a look at what Gigawatt offers right now.(Oh, he deleted the post. But we can explain anyway, for those others wondering) To be absolutely honest, I'm still not sure I understand all aspects of their business model on 100% just from the website, so the comparisson is based just on what I managed to read there. First of all, theres currently so much space in the cryptomining market for this kind of services that we welcome presence of other companies like Gigawatt and wish them the best in their enterprise. Competition has always been the driving force of progressive industries and we are all for it - as its best for the customer that way. That said however we do offer bit different set of services than they do. The way I understand it from their website, the key differences are: GIGAWATT: - You pay for the hardware, but it's not "yours". You can't take it home if you want to or if you are not happy with the hosting, fees or anything else. - Hardware failure costs you extra every time - Specialized mining hardware with minimal resell value if mining goes out of fashion - No insurance of the machines - Fairly complicated energy price / fee system (that's just my personal dig, I like simplistic things, it might be ok for other people) INVICTUS: - You pay for your hardware, its yours and you can take it home at any point once you paid it off. - Theres one flat maintenance fee. It doesn't scale with ETH or other product price, so it doesnt creep onto your rising profits. - The fee covers EVERYTHING (you don't pay anything else) including insurance and hardware replacement - Hardware is top of the line gaming, so in case the whole mining business goes bye bye, you can instantly resell it for pretty good price (the machine is yours after all) - Even if Ethereum switches to PoS, there will be other profitable products to mine, theres still plenty of space. And if literally the worst happens and it all ends, you can just resell the hardware to gamers. We also don't offer "unlimited" hosting spots. We publish only guaranteed spots that we can take care of as this is not a "get rich quick" scenario but rather a slow-paced pre-meditated business plan to grow at a consistent pace. The hosting fee on paper might be bit higher than some other semi-comparable services, we understand that. But we don't plan on being the price leader. And if you are going after the cheapest possible hosting solution, we might not be the best choice for you. Hope this helps. Wish you success and thanks for taking time out to explain and compare. Understanding you say hardware would be ours to take home, but what IS the hardware? Also what is the hosting environment currently - would be great to see and also great marketing and selling point as well. |

I'm worried too much more cfm on the fans will make the computer extremely loud? What're your thoughts on this? GPU fans are 10x's louder than any of the case fans I have some of my cases have 5 case fans and 2 GPUs are way louder |

I pointed my 1080ti rigs to miningpoolhub. No auto switching just skein. My zpool stats got weird yesterday, showing only 1.3gh while it should be 5, hence the change.
Now runnng 5x 1080ti per rig, on a 1200W Evga P2 psu. 90% TDP, + 250 core, no change in mem, 950mhs on Skein per gpu.
those settings should be tweaked 90% tdp = waste of money +250 core = good if nothing crashes 0 mem is okay but -100 to -500 save power with no effect on hash 900 to 1000 = pretty much what you can get. I would do 75% tdp +230 +240 + 250 core just to see what happens if you have 255tdp gpus your power supply is 5 x 255 x .9 = 1147 plus the mobo cpu etc I definitely agree with Phil here - Also Phil - the 3 full length cards are not running that hot at all - I lowered TDP to 65% still getting 850 MH/s per card - temps a respectable 61°/64°/60°c and drawing 160-163w per card 5.4 MH/w |

1 - What is the complete parts list for $5,000 - saying $5,000 for hardware is completely vague.
2 - What is the hosting environment - would need video and pics of the space, wiring, cooling solution etc. @ $0.20-0.36 per Kw/H you're charging A LOT. There are other hosting solutions that charge 1/3 of what you're trying to.

Which one for an 8 rig machine?
MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FE DirectX 12 GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 x16
Or
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 Ti DirectX 12 GV-N108TGAMING OC-11GD 11GB 352-Bit GDDR5X PCI
8 gpu? ... we build 5gpu max - aorus 1080ti extreme ... even though it has the capacity for 6 - we have always come across problems with it ... though havent tries lately with the newest drivers ... as for 8gpu - you need a server borad that allows for memory allocation for the 8gpu in the bios from what we have researched ... #crysx u have pix of 5 gpu aurus builds? definitely intersted! sounds awesome! I'm up to >40 1080Ti's now, have about 10 different cards but not a single aurus - i've been staying away because i'm scared of teh 3 slots it takes up - I'm pretty much maxed out now but I am hoping to get another few locations to add a "few" more cards. maybe trying to expand too fast but IMO no such thing. go hard or go home |

realistically its going to cost me about $300-$240, how fast would i see a return ? I.E. money back and profit ?
Mining Bitcoin?? About a year or two,get GPUs(for altcoin mining) & see profits in months instead.......  How would he mine Bitcoin with $300 at all? And he could buy a GPU but can you get a motherboard, CPU, PSU on that budget and profit in "months" no srsly... u have pubes on the sides or your lips... |

My 750W PSU finally popped today while being connected to just 4 GPUs:
2x Gtx 1060
1x Gtx 970
1x Rx 470
Haven't tested if my GPUs are undamaged but the burnt smell seems to be only coming from the PSU.
Hopefully my mobo and cpu are also ok. Any advice on what to do before buying another PSU?
Wait ... what ... i have to fry a mining rig to be a miner? That makes no sense, but if that's what it takes, I don't want to be a miner. |

Please remove giga watts dick from your mouth. |

why in the fuck would i want something that's specialized? any type of specialized equipment 100% means shit resale value. look at older antminers and bitcoin miners. the reason i didn't invest money in those is resale value. i like to hedge all my bets.

I don't see any real fans in that thread  |

Top reason why I would not buy a dedicated mining GPU is ...
Resale value.
Suck donkey balls. I need to hedge my bets.
