Hi Guys,
In the process of making my own rig for mining.
Will be running claymore to mine, not planning on downloading any local wallet software what makes u download tons of data.
Planning on mining Ethereum and Minero on separate rigs atm but may look at other currencies in the future. For multi-gpu mining rigs you'll want ~ 8 gb of memory for each card. That's "virtual" memory usually, since actual ram is a lot more expensive. So, if you want to run 8 GPUs per rig, you'll need at least 64gb for just the swap file. Meaning 120+ gb SSD. It's not a hard rule though (mostly applies to amd 8gb cards), and for many systems/algos you can get away with less space, but considering how little difference in price there is between 60gb and 120gb drives, it kinda makes sense to just go with 120. I'm not sure about the swap file which I dont think is that much with 64Gb. Because I've mined for a while with 8xRX580 8Gb, and all SSD are 64Gb only, I set virtual memory ranging from 3Gb to 20Gb. So far so good. Actually 120Gb SSD should be better. |

If you dont tend to put the wallet inside that SSD, so 64Gb is enough. Most of my rigs are running with 64Gb SSD, Window 10 OS.

Was that related to some big servers downed in EU yesterday? Hope it back soon, I like miningpoolhub because of its nice statistic.

I and some friends make a big group buy and accumulate the orders to purchase at one. We welcome more people into group (currently we have 23 people).
Then we contacted with a big local supplier, also guarantee with him that we will have a deal each month with at least 100 GPUs.
So he said ok and give us a discount. As I estimated, most of GPUs we bought from him are cheaper ~20$ than in official website.

Wow 1080 Ti rig is the-state-of-the-art, so you have the strongest one. I remembered before I start to build the first rig, I had to spend mostly 1 weeks to do the research also how to make it work haha.
By the way, with 1080 Ti, you have too much options: VTC, skein-skunk coins, LBC, ETH, ZEN, ZEC...Just stick with which coin you like most.

Basically, 6 GPUs rig does not need that much power from cpu, so G3930 as Preach suggested is good enough (I think a lot of miners are using this CPU as well).
But if you're going to mine with CPU as well, so go with 7700K, Some of my rigs use 7700 to mine XMR.

Of course we need altcoins to make cryptocurrency be more competitive on developing progress. You know, any revolution will start from bubble by innovative one.
Actually, in the market there are too many altcoins which look like the same, but some of them are really good and visionary.

A lot of CPU usage , 30% cpu usage of 8 core Xeon for 2x 1060 cards , thats alot ...
Typically, running 2 GPUs does not consume that much of CPU usage. Your CPU is a power one: Xeon 8 cores, so yes 30% is a way high. I havent tested this miner yet, but I think the CPU usage will be even much more if we mine with 6 x GPUs or 8 x GPUs rather than that of only 2 x GPUs. |

Charity project has very innovative idea and looks promising.
So I wonder who will be the recipients of a charitable donation? And how charitySPACE choose the recipients as well?

So nice to have another miner compete with EWBF's and dstm's miner. Is there any plan to develop for AMD GPU?
I would like to use this miner if CPU usage could be less than 20% because I also use CPU to mine another coins.

Much depends on your situation, for example, I get Eth and Etc on 1070, because on the Zec my cards get too hot
You are right, we need to consider about the power cost as well. As my tests with GTX P106-100 for mining Ethas (ETH/ETC) and Equihash (ZEC/ZEN/BTG) algorithms, the power each GPU draws for Ethas is about 75W while for Equihash it's about 97W. So with few rigs, the accumulated power cost we have to pay is a way high. |

Anyone got frequently hashrate drop problem recently (Drop to 0 in about 20 mins, but when I checked miner, it still hashing as normal)? Look like after few days, it happen again to all of my miners. I mined in flypool, asia1 server, port 3333.  |

What are you guys dual mining? i'm thinking about switching from Sia to another coin
Before I dual mined ETH+DCR, but as I know Obelisk will release DCR and Sia Asic miner soon, so I'm still thinking to move to another coins: LBC and Pascal but have not considered yet. |

Based on my experiences, most of GPU not detected problem is related to riser.
I dont know how you guys check which one is the defected riser, for me, I will start mining then monitor which GPU is cooler, then replace its riser, mostly it works well by then.

Yes, I just known these coins via "masternodes.pro". I've mined Vivo and Onex Cash in altminer.net. And now I'm mining GoByte.
I'm not sure I'm correct or not, so I think mining masternodes' coins is quite good profit because more and more people want to get involve with this service.

Which cards a you planning to get? If they have an 8-pin VGA connecter, there are not enough PCi-E ports on a 1200 W PSU for 12 cards.
If he plans to mine ETH, I think it could be fine. Because mining ETH, each 1060 just draws about 75W, so 1 PCI-E cable could handle 2 GPUs. |

I just finished a new rig. The same gpu with hynix memory. This time I xan get only 21.5 mhs. poor performance
My test with the same MSI GPU P106-100 but with Samsung Memory. The first quick test with 2 GPUs, window 10 ver.1703, test's duration: 16hrs:
Power Limit: 65%, Core: +0, Mem: +950, average hashrate: 25.2Mh/s.  The second test with 8GPUs, window 10 ver. 1703, test's duration: up to now 6 days:
Power Limit: 65%, Core: +46, Mem: +740, average hashrate: 25.05Mh/s.  |
