just tried it, twice...

first time, with the -p d=0.064 in the bat file didn't work,  but the second time did it.

i also added the same line in the pass field for the worker on the site itself.  not sure if that's what did it, but it's working now.

yes, but if you set your difficulty manually using the password field - p d=0.064, it will start off at .5 then after like 30 seconds or so switch to the diff you set in the worker.

Can someone with some Linux knowledge please complie a windows binary of this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2070862.0

It looks kind of promising.

manually works for me.  the diff the pool displays for the worker is different then what you set, but it does work.  for example i settled on a diff of 0.064 per gpu (1070), and it shows as 16.3 on the pool side.  

a lower diff may just give you a fighting chance to at least submit something during those fast blocks.

damn  you...

now i'm gonna have to learn how to compile

Check your power.

Eth is a very low power algo.  My 1070's, without any adjustments (full stock), run it at close to 60% wattage.  Skunk is not as efficient, and your cards are drawing more power, which could be the reason you're seeing crashes.  Try lowering your tdp a bit and see if it helps.

are you using the vafdiff, or have a worker diff set manually ?

it's halving in like a day and a half, so it's not for long...

Nova is running at about 120% luck the for the last day, so you're making 20 percent less then any number a calculator will give you.  You made 200 coins less then what the calculator predicted, which is right around 20 percent.  

The halving is at block 30,000.  It's at 27,100+ now, and there are 1,400+ blocks found per day = 2 days or so.

Again, unscientific math, but should be close.

My completely unscientific calculation puts nova slightly ahead of yiimp on luck.

nova's hashrate for the last day was right around 1ghz, so about 5 times and like an extra 4 percent higher then yiimp.  yiimp found 151 blocks, times 5 is around 750 then add another 30 or so for the extra 4 percent - you get something like 780 blocks.  nova found 840 blocks in that time, so doing slightly better.  

Again, these are incredibly unscientific calculations.

Depending on the model of router you have, you should be able to adjust QOS settings to give higher priority to video streaming.  You should also be able to isolate your mining rig, and give it the lowest priority.

Some routers (like my old Asus) mistake mining traffic for gaming traffic, and by default give it the highest priority.

i think by speculation he meant the 10x bump in price, more so then the listing on bittrex.

at least that's the way i read it.

if you can get your hands on win 10 LTSB enterprise version, do it.

this is the enterprise version meant for appliances that are always on, like cash registers, hvac systems etc.  

this version comes with no windows store, cortana, edge or other nonsense that comes with regular win 10.  it also receives no feature updates, but does get all the security patches etc.   the 2016 LTSB (the latest version),  is basically windows 10 version from this fall (before the creators update).  It has all the advantages of the new os and looks like windows 10, but acts and feels like windows 7 (no random rebooting to apply updates, spying or junk apps etc).

you cannot buy this version, unless you're a business that needs a boatload of licenses.  you'll need either a friend with a msdn sub, or use a torrented copy.

you can set your worker diff by using the password field in your bat file.  instead of the usual -p x, use -p d=256 etc. 

they actually have a note explaining it that is always on top of the dashboard, just look up

You can now use d=? in worker password field for static diff. For example "d=16" gives you a static diff of 16:
./sgminer -k lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u suprnova.1 -p d=16 -I 21 -g 4 -w 256

As i mentioned earlier, i am still thinking whether i want to get a 1080ti, so don't have one yet.  But i did an experiment with my 1070's mining skein, and i think your estimate of $9.60 is off.  Maybe a couple of weeks or even days ago, but today it should be somewhere at closer to $7.  This is with the dgb price at 0.00000819 and btc at $2,450.

I base these numbers on what i earned with my 1070's during my tests.  I have 3 identical "triplets" (built same day with identical parts etc) workstations each with a 1070.  Over the last couple of days i ran a 24 hour test on 3 pools - suprnova, miiningpoolhub and blockfactory.  I ended up mining 172 dgb on blockfactory, 184 on nova, and 192 on miningpoolhub.  1070 hashes at 525.

My best earning for the 24 hour stretch was 192 dgb.  My card hashes at 525 (60%tdp, 110w), so let's pretend that the 1080ti does double for quick and dirty math, and mines at 1050.  192x2 is 384 dgb, which is around $7.70 per day, and this is a very optimistic estimate, since most 1080ti's don't hash 1050, and are closer to 950 then a 1000.  At 950, using my lazy math and just subtracting ten percent from my previous number, you should make close to $7 per day before any power costs.

you can get a pretty good idea of what kind of payout to expect by following these two links.

1) yiimp benchmarks - http://yiimp.ccminer.org/bench?algo=skein&chip=387
2.) skein (DGB) calculator - https://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein?utf8=✓&hr=900.0&p=200.0&fee=0.0&cost=0.25&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

The first link will give you a list of benchmarks for various models of the gpu currently mining skein on yiimp.  This includes hash and wattage.  Plug both those values into the calculator in the second link, and it will give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.  

I don't have a 1080ti, but i have been thinking of getting one, so i started doing a lot of reading and stumbled upon this thread.

It's obvious that this card is not overly efficient, especially when compared to it's cheaper cousin - the 1070.  But when fine tuned it could be ok for skein, and pretty  much skein alone.  Zcash, eth or lbry it struggles on when it comes to efficiency.  If you have free or dirt cheap electricity, then 1080ti is a good way to go, but if you're like most of us that has to actually pay an electric bill - you may want to consider a different gpu for mining.

powerlimit is at 80.

i tried 75, and it worked fine (no crashes or anything), but dropped my hash by like 10sol.  monitoring it in afterburner, i can see that with my settings (+150 clock/ +600 mem) the tdp fluctuates right around 75-77 percent, so 75 was choking the card a little.  i left it at 80 to give it a little cushion, and the past 24 hours everything has been running great. 

got an MSI Gaming X 1070 in the mail today...

still playing with it trying to find the sweetspot, but for now - 445-450 using this miner.

thank you so much 

oh, i understand... and i get how showing that a man who is flashing his Ferraris yet wouldn't lend his own mother a couple of hundred bucks so she can visit speaks about his character, but still... somehow that whole part just feels "wrong"...

all that said - i have my pitchfork and torch ready
