GPU mining will die in 2019 for sure! That's when ETH launches Proof of Stake. All miners have to start mining shit coins, the market will get flooded, with the already highly inflated price / bubble state, all mineable ALT coins will lose 95% of their value. Call yourself lucky if you live in a cold country as that's the only thing those GPU's will be good for. Or you could start an internet gaming shop in Asia, not like there won't be thousands of them popping up all over the place  Get real people, it's insane to spend $900-$950 on a 1070ti card (Amazon) or $1300 on a 1080ti (Amazon), these are just average prices I digged up. But why we even care, everyone that started mining in 2017 will have made their money back, and by the time mining becomes unprofitable you better sell your alt coins real fast. Why? Because everyone will, demand/supply will be completely out of line, forcing the market to experience its biggest crash ever. As for BTC and ETH, those are one of the few coins that will keep their value. This crash will only apply to mineable coins. Shoot me if I'm wrong! Welcome to the forums and very good first post and I believe that June 2018 - June 2019 is eth's year. Oh dear, I keep asking myself, why I am not mining Eth for the past couple of months, the answer is it is not only the profitable coin to be mined. so I don't bother when eth goes to POS |

Hi guys i'm using EWBFS and i have 6 gpu in my rig.
the problem is when i use 5 gpu every thing is good but when i turned on the 6th gpu one of the gpu is shutting down and that gpu is not working untill reinstall the gpu driver. so does anyone know what is the problem?
What's your GPU types, OS, RAM, PSU ratings ensure that it could handle the 6th GPU. check you clocks also, if the GPU is not identical, higher clocks may not be coped up to others. |

Hi guys, i really need some help, i'm losing my mind here My configuration: Motherboard: Asus Prime Z270-P Processor: Intel G3930 GPU: Zotac GTX 1070 Amp Extreme PSU: Corsair CX750M SSD: 120gb Integral RAM: HyperX Fury 4gb DDR4 OS: Win 10 Pro I'm trying to build a rig of 1070s but I'm just starting with one card and having issues It immediately crashes on claymore mining ethereum and it crashes during the benchmark of nicehash... (the gpu LEDs flash like crazy and the mining client no longer sees the card)... after i reboot, the card no longer gets recognised, it's in device manager but no status on msi AB and the mining client cant use the card - i have to do a clean driver install for it to come back... i've tried a different gpu, different psu, different ssd, about 5 different risers - all same issue i've tried underclocking the cards to the max and i've tried an older driver - still no joy  bumped the virtual memory to 16gb to 32gb - still nada... the only thing i can think of is not enough RAM or a fault mobo? any help would be greatly appreciated! thank youuu try to direct the GPU card into the motherboards PCI-e x16 slot. then hit up the miner. if it succeed, you have a plenty of faulty risers. oh wow... i connected the gpu directly and it's mining and stable... i literally bought 16 risers and i'm guessing they are all faulty... what is life... thank you so much WT*, 16risers and all faulty, oh dear, anyways, good to hear its not your boards causing it. check these threads, it might help give you an idea in choosing best risers and their respective power usage https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2625137.0 |

So I have a really nice plastic shelf I could be building my rigs into but I'm worried about static discharge. I would assume if the psu is making contact then the shelf would be grounded but wtf do I know about static electricity... am I being paranoid?
Yeah kinda..lol Don't worry much about PSU grounding, most of the PSU has already a grounding from the power cable wall, some peepz are worried with platic racks due to fire hazards, however its your choice if you would ask me, I do prefer plastic over metal racks as I am much worried on short circuits  What I meant about the psu grounding through contact is in a conventional computer the case, as well as the mobo, are grounded through contact with the psu but I don't know if that would be the same affect with a plastic shelf. Basically the real purpose is grounding from the earth, and were already achieved once connected to properly circuited power wall,a motherboard connected to PSU has already a ground pins into it. the conventional case from statics protection versus plastic is one of the differences, but for mining, I don't think its a big deal. |

Seems like nicehash isn't real popular around here. I understand the hack and all - not good.
Seems like it would be easier to setup and run than constantly chasing different coins with different individual miners and wallets. Most people here seem to dump their alts for bitcoin and then trade or cash out anyway which nicehash makes easier since they pay you direct in bitcoin.
What is the problem with it though? What are the pros/cons?
Chasing much higher profits, that's what usually the purpose, yeah we are paid thru bitcoins, however due to btc price drops for a couple of weeks it has been observed that you can have higher returns to mine directly on alts then dump to btc. this is very likely true to people that can't wait for price pumps due to operating expenses. |

Yeah, I figured that was case. Im not seeing it in bios, board explorer no slot highlighted. What is proper installation? I am pulling tab back and rocking it in until clicks closed. It can only go in one way or it won't sit in slots so I don't have it backwards. Too remove it I have to pull tab back. cards lights are on an fan is intermittent. if I try with risers they also light up. but I'm trying just one in slot. thank you for advice!
Seems there are other users with same scenario as yours. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3218700/gpu-detected-msi-board-explorer.htmlcheck other PCI-e x16 slots if will detect in Explorer. you may also try flashing with newest Bios same as the user did in the link provided. check also with CPU bent pins https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=287713.0 |

I have risers but tried directly into mobo as well. In bios still nothing. I've checked connectors and have tried with 2 different psu's. Could it be a problem with my new Celeron cpu? That is only part I haven't replaced. Lol! I think I'm missing something windows related but it was still not detecting bios before I installed windows. also the ddr4 4gb ballistic hasn't been changed. sorry if I'm using wrong terminology I'm just excited to be involved.
I am suspecting possible improper installation of GPU here, check your Bios setting, and Board Explorer from there you can check if there is a GPU installed and detected, otherwise check your GPU installation. basically, if its not seen in the BIOS it wont get to seen also in windows. |

I'm running latest version of windows 10 and had a msi z270 sli plus and can't seem to get the motherboard or windows to detect a gpu. The bios nor window sees it plugged in. I have a 850 watt psu and a Celeron processor. I have tried 3 different 1060 gpu's. I tried another z270 sli and even now trying a msi b250m pro v. I'm missing something and I've tried to follow some builds and diy's but I'm stumped. I also have ddr4 4g and an m2 around 500g. Any tips on a how to video for dummies? I tried to use Rufus to flash window ten with got partition for uefi. I could get as for as click on disc button to select a bootable image or unchecking it. I did uncheck and save to usb but not able to execute it or figure how to use it too reboot.
Sorry I'm a total tool with zero pc skills and a newbie to boot!
thanks
Ben
are you using Risers for the GPU? or directly installed to mobo? try to directly install into mobo, ensure that you have properly plugged the PSU PCIe cable to your GPU, check also your Bios, it should detect your GPU from there. |

AfterBurner has to be running after the reboot. Did you set it to run at startup? Just look and see if your overclock settings are still there in AfterBurner after the reboot. If not, I guess you didn't save them.
If I open up Afterburner, I don't see any options for my cards. The 4 GPU Cards show up but everything is greyed out and I can't change any settings. Please Clarify, from your first post you've done overclocking, so now its now greyed out? but when I start the rig up I don't think they are overclocked anymore
There is an option in MSI afterburner to start the App in startup, what you need to do is to save first your Overclocking setting by clicking the floppy disk Icons and tick the windows startup option. So when I was overclocking originally, I did it one card at a time and it worked fine. Now, when I have all 4 cards connected, it is greyed out and I can't change anything. I did one card at a time, and all my Hynix cards worked fine but the Elpida one would crash on me. How about installing the hynix card first? can you do overclocking? there is this settings in the MSI AB to untick the Synchronized settings for similar graphics card in order to set clocks individually. I am just wondering on the greyed out issue, that problem is seen in incompatible driver to MSI AB versions, however you've told that its working on 3 gpus so its kinda weird. |

I've reached 5x times back and forth reading to comprehend what the OP wants. and then suddenly I realized this statement ' To the external pool, I would have one machine - but instead I have 4 of them working together.
A very simple solution to your request my friend, Just give "1" Similar worker name to each of your Rig, you will now see a combine hash power to the pool. |

Hi guys!
I have been asking my self for a while a way to find out what would be mi mining results BEFORE committing my rig to a specific coin.
What I want to know is, given my mining power, given the algorithm, given the difficulty that the pool states on that specific coin, given the pool hash rate (and given whatever data you can get); how to estimate how may coin would I be able to mine in lets say 24 hours.
Am I clear of what I want to do?
For the sake of the example lets say this is the data:
Coin: Sparks
Mining Power: 4 MH/s
Pool Difficulty: 512,47
Pool HashRate: 18,2GH/s
How many SPKS will I mine in 24 hs?
Can someone help me with this one?
Thanks in advance!!!
You are using pool, it means the rewards are relied with them, better check how they pay miners, they have different styles on doing payouts. these are the rewards calculations on mining BTC, ETH, Zcash and Monero, you might get an idea how they works and not sure if same with sparks. Bitcoin : userHash/(difficulty*(2^32))*blockReward*3600*1000000000(hashFactor) ETH: (userHash/difficulty)*blockReward*3600*hashFactor Zcash: userHash/((difficulty)*solsPerDiff)*blockReward*3600*hashFactor (sollsPerDiff = 8192) Monero: userHash/(difficulty*1e9)*blockReward*3600 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1732808.0 |

Hi everybody pretty new to the mining world looking at getting the cheap set up going just to get started.
When I'm doing research online I found the 1050 graphics card had a Hash rate of 350 h/s ish when mining Monero but only has like a hashrate of 175 h/s when mining zcash is that correct?
Why the big difference? Just different mining programs? Monero and Zec are two different algorithms, so it is imperative that you can get two different hashrates Also is a SOL/S same as H/s?? One website was figuring sol/s but my calculator ask for H/S
sol/s and h/s are the same thing, it has been previously posted. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1680359.0 |

Hi,
I am obviously new to this. I want to try mining. I don't have good gpu but cpu and ram is quite good.
I read I should go for monero.
So I installed xmr-stak cpu.
Unfortunately my hashrate is only 1.4khs, as I am writing this it dropped to 0.4kh/s. Now I am wondering wheter just my hardware doesn't allow for more.
I have:
SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 6x 3.60GHz
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT grey DIMM Kit 32GB
GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti KalmX
Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350-Plus
So should I have a better hashrate or not?
E: One more thing. My CPU works at 70% rate my RAM only at 12%. Shouldn't at least one of them reach 100%?
you had already a good hashrate, even combining your CPU and GPU a typical hash based on monero benchmarking reported in the link below is around http://monerobenchmarks.info/1050 ti - 343h/s CPU ryzen 1600x - 420 total of 763h/s I'm not sure if you're only mistakenly typo error on 1.4kh/s |

My first rig is composed of 4 Vegas (64*2, 56*2), and perfectly working with Claymore (from nanopool). Now im building my 2nd rig with 12 RX 580 and finally able to work! However im getting this error and couldnt figure out what happened. What I did: Windows 10 up to date. AMD Blockchain software successfully installed Virtual Memory updated to 16GB  If your RX 580 is around 4GB Mem, try to Lower your -h value, or use -dmem 0 in your Claymore config. |

Hey everyone,
I need a bit of help with 2 things.
First of all, I have 4 RX570 GPUs. Apparently 1/4 is a Elpida type memory, which I found a config for and got a 29Mh/s speed with. The other 3 are Hynix and I can only get around 19.5 out of it. mod the GPU bios according to mem types, there are sweet spots for Hynix cards https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0Now the main issue I am having now is that when I run my Claymore miner, it will go for about 10 minutes, and then my screen goes a weird blue color and I can't do anything, and my GPUs turn off. I can't hit the power button since nothing happens so I need to power off the PSU and then power everything back on. Any ideas?
Isolate it by excluding other GPU's, like installing 1 GPU 1st fire up claymore if success, then 2,3,4 by then you could determine what might be the problem, most common will be the Riser and your PSU, ensure that your PSU could handle 4 GPU power. |

Here is the thread users of GTX 1070's, might help you out a little to decide on what clocks, tweaks, and miners they are using. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2054800.0some are NH users, but most might don't actually use NH miner as it uses different types of miner embedded with it, so basically if it switch algos, your desired clocks may not the sweetest spot anymore. |
