I tried with a 6x 1080ti rig for 22 hours, and got zero blocks solo mining.  1312 MH/s

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Is there any update on the secure nodes? It looks like its been 1 month for multiple months now.

You can build one now.  You can get it on the testnet now to verify everything will be working when it's time to switch to mainnet.  You can even run it on mainnet right now if you want, but there's no public tracker system yet, so no payouts.

The Payouts is the question, when everything is finished. Pointless to build one now in reality.

It actually take a bit of work to get one setup.  There are plenty of pitfalls to work through, not the least being getting a VPS that's got enough resources, but doesn't cost a fortune.  It's a great learning experience, so it's good to be ready when it's time to switch to mainnet.
603  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Homemade Mining Farm Advice and Help on: October 18, 2017, 04:09:15 AM
Hello All, 

I am getting ready to build my own farm at my home and I would like some advice or help.  Currently I have 4x D3s and 3x L3+ on order and should be arriving over the next month or so (I know there are lots of different thoughts and arguments as to which is the most profitable and the best way to go, here i am looking for help and advice in setting up my farm, not the miners as they are already bought).  I would like to grow this up to about 15-20 miners over the course of the next year.  Currently i am trying to determine the best place  and way to setup my farm. 

I own a three story end unit condo with a two car garage.  This leaves me with two main options to place the farm:

For either option i will run a single Ethernet cable to a Cisco SG112-24 Gigabit switch and then connect the miners to that.

1- The unused closet of our rarely used guest bedroom.  The closet area is about 5x6 with 9 feet tall ceilings.  Pro's to this location are it is within 3 feet of the electrical panel, next to a window for ventilation, and keeps the miners in a relatively climate controlled and secure location being inside the house.  Con's to this are the heat, noise, and space it takes up, along with having to do a bit of construction on the closet area,  I grew up doing construction and finish carpentry so its not a deal breaker. 
[/img][/img]

2- The garage.  We have a two car garage and the plan would be to use 1/2 for a car, 1/4 for an isolated work shop, and 1/4 for storage and the miners.  My idea is to build a large cabinet close to the garage door and use the door for ventilation. I was thinking of using the windows in it and hooking up a vortex fan to pump air in or out depending on the season or both.  I have a friend who is an electrician and is willing to help me run electrical out to this cabinet and wire it up.  Pro's to this location are less noise, heat/exhaust "could" be used to heat the garage and in turn help to heat the house, plenty of room to expand, doesn't mess up the house or damage any resale value.  Con's running electrical, possible ventilation issues, and access to the cabinet.
[/img][/img]

So that's about it, any help is greatly appreciated.  I have thought of going into GPU mining but haven't done anything with that yet, it is a possibility. 

Mods, if this is in the wrong forum or there is a better one please move it accordingly.  I would like to attach pictures if can aswell. 

You'll want to put them in the garage.  Antminer D3 and L3 ASICs are loud and will put out a ton of heat.  You would have to rig up a ton of ventilation to make them work in a closet.

Why DNR is heading down with time. I mean initially it went to around 50k and now around 5K. A big difference. Project is dead or what ?


I can write what I have seen from many chats and threads. Believe or not, but miners still see this coin as one of profitable coin. They are willing to switch their miners to DNR when they don't know what to mine.

Don't worry about the price. All altcoins are going down. Money is concentrated in BTC.
Don't have week hands and believe in DNR as everyone else do. Wink

Edit:
Wow!
First post at page 100! Smiley

wohoooo!

Happy birthday DNR! Smiley
I remember when I was reading first page of this thread! Smiley

I agree as the true believers that really believe in this project will continue to hold and not sell. Yes some might sell to get back some costs layed out in mining the coin but from what I have heard and read with a few of the big miners is that they are holding DNR for now as they believe in the project and what the dev is doing. I don't mine DNR but I do buy coins when I get some spare BTC or if the price dips lower. I believe in DNR and the dev and will be holding my coins for the long term.

I have a question.  What is the end game with "holding"?  Shouldn't a coin be judged based on it's usability?

It's possible to add internal wallet of Nicehash in Balance system ?


It depends on if the wallet is a public wallet on the blockchain.  A lot of exchanges have an internal wallet system that is not accessible on the public blockchain, so it's impossible for a blockchain explorer to report it's balance.

Hi Patrike Can u add in your next version to add more software inside the managed software for example there is ccminer and alexis but i also want to use klaust and palginmod and maybe even krnlx version for nvidia.Neoscrypt and groestl is the best for klaust, some others are good for palgin mod and ccminer etc.There are couple of versions of amd miners like sgminer 5.5.4, 5.6.1 so i am sure you can add more or just tell me how to integrate all 4 ccminer versions for my nvidia rigs.

Thanks

Have you tried adding the other versions of ccminer in the Managed Software tab in the Options?

After mining for a few hours, I just started having issues with http://hashbag.cc/.  Cannot connect, switching to another pool.

I like the Brutum pool

1) How do I export the AM config so I can migrate to a new PC ?

2) Can I run multiple AM to manage the same rigs ? How can I accomplish that ? Will there be some conflict between the two instances of AM with the managed profit switching ?

There is a little bug, when I override the global profit switching pool settings, it does not reflect the overridden settings in the pools section of the rig, it still shows the global worker name instead of the overridden one.

Thanks

1.  I believe you can copy the contents of %appdata%\Roaming\AwesomeMiner folder to your new AM install.

2.  You shouldn't try to control one Windows rig with two different AM installs.  There will be conflicts.  I'm not sure why you'd even want to.

Is there anyone who has a remote site that may be able to assist?  I have 12 local S7/S9/L3+ miners and 3 remote machines which i would like to monitor.  Port forwarding / dyndns set up and i can log in to the miners, but Awesome Miner doesn't see them..... Any suggestions?


I'm assuming the 3 remote machines are ASICs?  So they would be setup in AM as External Miners.  When you did the port forwarding you setup 3 different ports on the external interface of your firewall, and matched them up to port 4028 on the internal IP?  So for instance, if you set port 9000 on the external interface, and forwarded it to the ASIC's IP address matched up to port 4028 on one.  Then did port 9001 matched to 4028 on the second ASIC and so on?  But in AM... you set the External Miner to dyndnsname:9000 for the first and dyndnsname:9001 for the second?

Did you try doing the DDU and driver reinstall procedure I mentioned above?  I don't think you'd have to go as far as an entire Windows reload.  Some other things to check would be if you have integrated graphics turned on or some combination mismatch of your PCIe slot settings in your BIOS.  And it might be a long shot but check to see if you one of those Vulkan software-layer SLI chips and the driver/software installed.

I changed it to "100?% packet loss" and the power off time to 6 seconds... recompiled it and it seems like it worked.

Do you have an explanation of what this video would show us?  This website requires Flash, and I have Flash disabled on all my systems.

Searching for new mining hardware. Which board has this topic?

This one does.
615  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [DIY] auto-hard-reset mining rigs with Raspberry Pi on: October 08, 2017, 08:15:52 AM
I think I found out what the issue is with the ping not working correctly.  With the linux version of the ping command it doesn't display any "Request timed out" messages (the microsoft version does).  It will only display the "Host Unreachable" messages when the ARP cache is flushed.  But the garbage collector will not flush the ARP cache until some large thresholds are reached (minimum of 128 entries)  So unless you have 128 rigs, you aren't going to hit that minimum.

If I manually flush, then linux does then return the "Host Unreachable" message with a ping after I pull the network cable.  But the problem will still remain.  When the rig reboots, it will reply to pings and populate the ARP cache again... then it will not return a "Host Unreachable" message until you flush manually again or do a manual flush.  You could code in a manual flush in each cycle of the main routine... but I beleive a manual ARP table flush requires SUDO ability.  Sad

Or... you could change the phrase the code is looking for to something like "0 received" or "100% packet loss" instead?

So I'm curious as to what testing or actual valid rig resets you are seeing?
616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [DIY] auto-hard-reset mining rigs with Raspberry Pi on: October 08, 2017, 07:05:18 AM
hello,

I am currently testing your code with a rpi B+ and 5V relay.
 i am off the network  (no internet/local network)  all thinking the relays will clics since the ping will fail, but no, its says host online.
What did i do wrong ?

thanks.

I have a similar problem.  I have everything setup, and to run a test, I pulled the ethernet cable from one of my rigs a minute or so before the timer was finished.  It said that the host was online, but that's impossible.  If I ping the rig with the ethernet cable pulled from the raspberry pi there's nothing after the ping statement ... no replies (obviously) and no unreachable statements.  I hit CTRL+C to break out of the ping command, plug the cable back in... ping again... and I get replies.

It's odd.  I haven't examined the code yet, but how is the go program determining if a rig is alive?  What output is it looking for?  Seems to me that it should consider anything but replies as an offline condition.

EDIT:

I looked at the code that parses the ping results, and I replicated the issue by pinging a VM (easier to test with as you can yank the virtual network cable).   When I ping the VM with the virtual network cable disconnected using the parameters in the machines.go code I don't get any replies.

Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ping 192.168.2.207 -c 3 -i 3 -w 10
PING 192.168.2.207 (192.168.2.207) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.2.207 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 9149ms

It seems that Zen market doesn't reflect to good news. It is strange and not normal.

Actually, I think this is a good thing.  It shows stability in value, which is more important in a coin's economy than what the coin is "worth."  The end goal for a coin is not what it's exchange value is, but it's usability.  What is a dollar worth?  It's worth about a dollar.  Unless we start changing our perspectives about cryptocurrencies, then we are only exploiting those who believe in the coin's future.  We want people to someday say "How much Zen is a dollar worth?"... not "How many dollars is a Zen worth?"
618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners on: October 08, 2017, 05:21:25 AM
Tell me, what time should I set for switching in automatic mode between pools for external ASIC devices, for more profit?

It's better for you to do your own experiments to determine the answer to this.  There are too many factors that can influence profits.  There is no magic setting or sure-fire coin or pool to choose.  The great thing about Awesome Miner is that you have plenty of flexibility to perform these experiments.
619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin mining setup question. Noob here 😄 on: October 07, 2017, 10:28:47 PM
You shouldn't use a GPU to try and mine BTC.  That hasn't been available for years... you have to use ASICs to mine BTC.  You can try to mine altcoins with a GPU.  You should do some reading here fora few days before jumping in.  You need to formulate some plans, as there are many aspects about mining that you don't understand yet.

If you want to download Nicehash and start mining right away, you will get a little bit of bitcoin while you figure out if mining is profitable for you.  Note that when you use Nicehash you are not mining BTC directly, but are mining altcoins and Nicehash pays you in BTC to do so.
620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Maintenance for Mining GPUs on: October 06, 2017, 06:19:36 AM
Hi all

Was wondering what you guys did to maintain the GPUs for optimal performance? I suppose some tasks should be done weekly, and some tasks monthly and then maybe some tasks once a year?

Maybe something like this?

Weekly
General cleaning using air blower
Huh

Monthly
Huh

Yearly
Remove fans for thorough cleaning
Oil fan motors
Huh

It really depends on how dusty your environment is.  If you have your rigs in or near living areas, they will get dusty, as you and your movements and ceiling fans, or AC will blow dust around.  If you have your rigs in areas where there are no fans, or people/animals then your chances of dust are much lower.  Most fans are sealed, so you won't be oiling them.  Cheesy
