701  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Question regarding CPU mining on: September 13, 2017, 01:24:12 PM
Well, there are many coins that are CPU mineable and some are exclusive to it. To name a few - XMR, NXS, HODL, RIC and much more...

Is it more that quite a few 'can' be mined via CPU, but it just isn't as efficient as GPU mining? XMR is the only one I actually knew of (I was sure there were others obviously). Just trying to get an idea if there are any others that are CPU exclusive or at least primarily CPU based mining.

I don't quite remember, but I did stumble upon some crypto-coins that were exclusive CPU-mining in a multi-pool page like yiimp. Yes, GPU Mining is obviously more efficient and profitable compared to CPU but if you can get a hands on some ASIC. They are way more profitable and I feel like ASICs and GPUs are a long-term mining.
702  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Dual PSU for 8x1070 can i split the raisers? on: September 12, 2017, 07:13:59 PM
Well, not to come in harsh, but I've read a lot and I've many rigs set up and I follow only one method - Master PSU for all the risers, MOB, SSD, and a few GPU where as slave PSU for GPU connections only. I've never faced any issues what-so-ever. I would give splitting risers and GPUs in multi PSU system a try and analysis it too, for what I've seen from a lot of posts - there are no major issues going for any method but just keep one thing in mind to not use cheap SATA risers. Most of the time, they are the culprit and people blame it on to the way you've set up multi PSU rigs.
703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I would like to give you SSH / remote desktop access to ensure speedy ETH mining on: September 09, 2017, 03:23:29 PM
I've asked question on StackOverflow: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/24284/how-to-ensure-mining-happens-at-optimal-speeds

Realistically speaking I'm not an expert.

I would like to pay for 1-2-3-4 hours of your time to help me configure the thing.

Many thanks in advance, probably PM works best.

Well, for starters - give nvOC a try. It's the best Linux distro pre-configured for mining for Nvidia rigs. Once, you've done that. Run Genoil Miner and post a screenshot here. I'll see if you are receiving optimal speeds or not.
704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining on RDP? on: September 09, 2017, 03:19:51 PM
I have a large stock of RDP, I want to start mining, please tell me is it possible to earn $2 daily on RDP?
RDP Specs are:
Ram: 14gb
Cpu: 2 core
Ssd: 155gb

Please guide me any mining software that could generate at least $2 daily of any coin.

Well, can you name your CPU to provide better estimates? Anyway, you can use your CPU to CPU mine and available storage for POC coins, but I don't think you'll be able to break 2 USD daily on RDP until and unless you run a dozen of them.

706  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Feedback on machine for mining on: September 08, 2017, 06:27:36 PM
I have this machine sitting around barely used and was wondering if it would be sufficient enough to get started. The idea was to use it for mining monero, but I am up for suggestions on rather or not it will work for something else, or it needs more.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6EK9J2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

you can play it around and can do CPU mining, if you get it to work, then learning will rise including how profitable/unprofitable it is. Cheesy

True that!
BTW, you can tweak around and learn about CPU mining first, which will really clear your basics and if you'll feel like upping your game, get a GPU or two and connect it to your system as the MOB in your system has 3 PCIe slots, meaning it can support up-to 3 GPUs but still unsure if the bios will support it. Anyway, two will be okay.
707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ hangs on reboot on: September 07, 2017, 08:13:46 PM
Hi,

My asrock h110 pro btc+ hangs on reboot when bootable usb is plugged in.
It just stops on asrock logo page. When i take out usb, it starts. When not, it hangs. Only hard reset helps. But then it enters bios itself.
Any ideas ? Smiley
On ssd W10 no such thing.

How many GPUs are you running on this MOB?
What is the model number of the CPU installed? Low end Celeron CPU can cause problems with H110 Pro BTC+ MOB.
708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Lending on BITCONNECT? Anybody had a go? on: September 07, 2017, 07:57:17 PM
Well, I read a few posts on Reddit and some other forums regarding this, and people did give a positive feedback about this coin, as you can see, coin price has doubled in almost a month or two. Moreover, they are now advertising much which will attract much more investors.
709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: PCIe Risers on: September 05, 2017, 05:21:01 PM
6 pin risers are for higher watt output, 6 pin pcie standard 75 watts no problem molex/sata max 54 watts? (correct me if im wrong)

so yea depends how power hungry your cards are from the pcie aswell.

also if you are gonna build alot of  rigs best roi for your rigs would be with server psus with picos and 6 pin risers then you wont need anything else.

Well, that's correct. As much as I know, a SATA cable as a whole can handle up to 106 watts while a molex can do around 150 watts from PSU side. So, if you connect a GPU which consumes 70 watts from risers then it's better to go with molex cable as SATA will overwork which can results in fire or second level damages in long term, not to forget the quality of SATA to molex that they ship with the risers.

Well, this is definitely not the place where you can get rental services, try nice hash or mining rig rentals - dedicated market place for hash power buying and renting.
711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASUS DUAL RX580 O4G OC - GPU frequency drop on: September 05, 2017, 04:07:21 AM
No, you cannot do that. You'll brick your card! Which drivers are you using? Try to decrease your core and memory under-volt and see if it makes any difference. Moreover, use the latest blockchain drivers and claymore 10.

Currently I'm using r0binhood's drivers from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2068446.0. My core is operating on 1162MHz, and mem volt is 1000mv, so can you please suggest me what values to try for them?
Tnx.

Well, Uninstall your previous drivers and install this one instead, Driver Link use claymore 10.0 with this driver and it should permanently fix your issue.

713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the cheapest way to transfer from Poloniex to Bittrex? on: September 04, 2017, 08:00:07 PM
What is the cheapest way to transfer funds between these two exchanges? Is it for example straightforward Poloniex (BTC) > Bittrex (BTC) or maybe something like Poloniex (BTC) > Poloniex (BURST) > Bittrex (BURST) > Bittrex (BTC) or else?

See, the transaction fee for BTC from one address to another is quite high. There is 0.18% exchange fee which is obviously 95% less than BTC transaction fee. I would suggest converting BTC to a currency with quick transfer times and low transaction fees like SIA, or UBIQ, or any other coin which will fit the profile and then convert it back to BTC (again with 0.18% fees) which will save around 85-90% in transaction fees of BTC.
714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Solo mining with L3+ vs rent hash on: September 04, 2017, 07:45:41 PM
Well, if you have that much amount of miners and hash power, no need to look beyond the solo mining. Pool mining will obviously involve with some pool fees that you can save mining solo and hash rate rental will consume a lot of maintenance time. Solo mining, way to go!
715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is this power distribution ok for my mining rig? on: September 03, 2017, 05:10:45 AM
This is what my build looks like as of right now....https://i.redd.it/ghflb24rlliz.jpg

  • 5x RX 580 Nitro+
  • 5x 1080ti OC-11GD
  • 1x GTX 970 (just because I had it in my pc from when I used to game)
  • 2x EVGA T2 1600w PSU
  • Asrock H110 Pro BTC+

Red GPUs connected to the left PSU (580, 580, 970, 1080ti, 1080ti, 1080ti)
Green GPUs connected to the right PSU (580, 580, 580, 1080ti, 1080ti)

anyone have any advice as far as what I should keep in mind as far as how many I can connect to each psu? I'm new to all this; so any advice is very much appreciated.

Also, I have each sata cable connected to about 2-3 risers; is that a safe amount? I don't want to go above that.

Still in the process of building; don't mind the wire chaos.

Thanks!




Well, 580s will consume just over 100W if undervolted each, 1080ti's, on the other hand, will do just over 175W with best clocks and undervolted. So, One PSU connected to 5x 580s, MOB, and risers while the second PSU connected to 5x 1080ti, 970. Use Molex cables and ditch SATA all-together because all of your GPUs are power-sucker.A Molex daisy chained to two GPUs, i.e., Five Molex cables for connecting 10 GPUs (580s,1080ti) and you can use SATA for 970 if you want. It's not that power hungry.

My risers have a 6pin connection; you're suggesting I get a 6pin to molex adapter for them? What about all the fire issues related to that adapter?



Daisy chain a six pin to two risers and you're very good to go.

So something like this cable? https://www.amazon.com/11-inch-PCI-Express-Female-Splitter-Sleeves/dp/B01LVZBJML/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1504026247&sr=8-30&keywords=6+pin+pci+express+power+cable

Well, yes. This seems correct! Way to go.
716  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: any change on msi afterburner reduces hash rate to 4 mh/s on: September 03, 2017, 05:08:06 AM
Hi,

thanks for the reply.

no it is in the second slot.

It works fine and hashes properly until i change the overclock setting. if i change that for any card then that card changes to hash at 4 mh/s

Give MSI AB 4.4.0 Beta 16 a try and see if it works for you and yes, as @g0suboy suggested, set your OC settings before turning on miner and don't make any sudden changes while the miner is still active.
717  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU choice on: September 02, 2017, 08:10:46 PM
Well, can you list the price of the GPUs that you're able to get, only then can anyone provide some insight on whats better.
718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1050 Ti Black Screen Randomly on: September 02, 2017, 08:07:56 PM
Well, are your cards overclocked by an overclocking utility like afterburner?
719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Skunkhash - Magnatum (MGT) - NVIDIA GPU Mining Instructions on: September 02, 2017, 08:05:06 PM
Its only 9 Satoshis or im missing something?

No, you're not. This coin is not listed on any of the major cryptocurrency exchange sites and thus making its value near to nothing. Anyway, I feel it's a copy of signatum coin and it has nothing new to offer. Check the sites, wallet, nearly everything is identical. I mined for 6 hours and returned back to SIGT. Honestly, mining this is an utter waste of hashing power.
720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON 4X 1080TI compatibility on: September 02, 2017, 07:58:57 PM
Well, you can get up to 8 GPUs of the same model working on Windows if your PSU and MOB can handle it. Go ahead!
