Do you know about Solaris Coin? Talk Coin? Project Wyvern? I have an idea about these coins. Know any more coins that work on nist5 !?

No need to add -allpools 1. Remove it! Moreover, I've replied to your PM for the further details.


GPU0 may have a better airflow to it compared to GPU1 & GPU2. No worries, they are still in good temps! As soon as you start undervolting them, your temps will go down too.

That's a really good hash rate output and stability is on point. Temps are very comfortable.
Some improvement proposals:
1) Try undervolting core/mem. From your GPU-z screenshot, I'm seeing 117W power draw. That's too much. I'm running my Sapphire's with 80W TDP and getting the same results.
2) Set your fan speed to a constant value such as 30% or whatever you see fit by using "-tt" command in your bat file. A constant fan speed is better than a variable fan speed.
3) Give dual mining a try, with these temps you can easily push them to dual mine and generate 1.25x coins. Give SIA or DCR a consideration for the second coin.

There is a parameter known as share difficulty. The pool sets the share difficulty.
For example,
Your rig1: 1x 1080ti (750sols)
My rig2: 1x 1080ti (750sols)

Let's say the share difficulty for your rig from the pool is set to "2x", so you'll be getting "y" amount of accepted shares. The reward for one share at "2x" difficulty be "2z".
The share difficulty for my rig from the pool is set to "x", I'll be getting "2y" amount of accepted shares. The reward for one share at "x" difficulty be "z".

So, no matter if your shares are low and mine are higher, we will probably mine the same amount of coin as it all depends on share difficulty and accepted share proportionally.

I had a similar experience myself, I'm using 6x Sapphire RX580 8GB Pulse. In the beginning, I tweaked each and every card solo to get it's best settings and wrote down all the tweaks that I've done on a piece of paper.
After completing all 6x GPUs, I ran them together at their best settings and I saw 2-5% drop in their hashrate from their best solo settings. It's been months now and I've never found any solution to this.
From that point of time, I never went tweaking GPUs solo. So, I want to say you're not alone!

Try this monitoring app, LINK.
I've been using this since it came out and the mobile applications are on point.
The dev is great and pushes updates frequently.

I'm running an identical build as you! I've never faced such issues. Do try updating to latest version of Windows, setting core/mem voltage and core/mem clock speeds in claymore bat file itself and not using overclocking utility like Msi AB.

It's average 14 days solo for every block.
I will recommend you to go with pool mining as it'll provide consistent payments every day.

Let me explain a bit about solo mining.
When you're solo mining, the collective hashing power of your rigs is working to find a block in litecoin network competing with all other miners.
It can be a day if you're extremely lucky, probably 14 days if everything runs smoothly or probably more than that.
You never know because it all depends on luck for finding a block.
That's why average fourteen days.

If for any chance your rigs malfunctions and you need to restart them, or internet doesn't work for an hour or any downtime reason.
All the hash done will be of no use!

That's why it's better to stick with pool mining, receive consistent rewards.

Now, if you want to do solo mining, in any scenario, you should have enough hashrate to find a block in an average a day.

I just checked my ATIWinFlash version and it's at 2.2.0.0, I've never faced any issues that you have stated above in Windows 10 Pro x64. I recommend you try this version and see if it works for you with no issues.

Ctrl+C --> Stop the node --> Run the node again.
After running the node, you can generate a new address and start mining.

No need to wait for sync to complete, just generate an address and start mining. Once you receive coins to your address, then you have to wait for it to completely sync to show available balance.

Profitable is a relative term, the coin which is profitable today might not be anymore by tomorrow.
Anyway, ZCoin seems really good as of now to mine with GPU and obviously XMR for CPU.

Here you go, information about current difficulty is provided on this page: http://pool.votecoin.site/stats

Yes, try Claymore v10.0 miner. Use -mvddc to set memory voltage and -cvddc to set core voltage.

ASIC Miners are definitely compact, more efficient, and profitable than GPU miners but the loud noise, limited availability can be a concern. Go with ASIC if you're starting out! (Antminers might be a good place to start and they are available as of now.)

I don't know if there is any list available for this or not, but I can list down a few:
According to my experience, ethash is memory bound algorithm while equihash is core bound algorithm. I found the majority of algorithms like skunkhash, blake2s, groestl, lybr to be core bound too.
The best idea is to test an algorithm by yourself to check if it's core or memory bound or both.

Oh Yes. I've tried it. I've searched many posts and everywhere it's suggested to use some or the other IP config in API but still the API shows Disabled status when I run the miner. Any other solutions?

I've tried any and every IP configuration to get API work but all the time, it is displaying API: DISABLED after running miner. Any solutions to solve this?

I don't think the Blockchain driver is out for Linux, but tbh I've seen many miners migrating to Windows just because of this issue.
