Shitcoin pools tend to go down a lot. Since the hash is concentrated on just a few pools, it's just the nature of the beast. Always use failovers

It's not just about the total wattage of the PSU's, you also need enough connectors for all the cards and risers. Having more overhead on the PSU makes it run more efficiently, cooler and last longer. As another option, an EVGA G2/P2 1200 W as the primary PSU would give you enough connectors and overhead to run the motherboard, all 13 risers using 5 PCI-E connectors on the PSU with the dual 8-pin splitter cables or pigtail cables and/or dual SATA/molex to 6-pin  PCI-E adapters and one card connected to the primary x16 PCI-E slot while running the PSU at ~80% of the rated power when dual mining, assuming you undervolt and power limit the cards. The other 12 cards can be run on two EVGA G2/P2 1000 W at around ~85% of the rated PSU capacity while dual mining.

BBT has a good presentation and overview on PSU's for mining rigs.

On the ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ I use an EVGA 1600 W T2 (9 PCI-E ports) for the motherboard, all the risers and 4 RX 580s's together with a 1000 W P2 (6 PCI-E ports) and 850 W G2 (4 PCI-E ports) for the rest of the cards. I connect two 6-pin risers to the 1600 W T2 on each PCI-E cable, or 3 if it has a pigtail. I connect one GPU per PCI-E cable using the the 8-pin + 6-pin pigtail cables or with an 8-pin to 6+2 splitter cable.

You can also use dual molex to 6-pin PCI-E adapter cables to connect the risers (two risers per SATA/Molex cable max).

When you have top figures coming out and talking about Crypto on a weekly basis, you can bet there's something going on. That something is the world is about to find out what the huge potentional the blockchain space is for innovation and making the world a better place.

By default, Whattomine.com uses a 24 hour average for difficulty and price in it's calculations. You need to change it to 'Current price' and 'Current difficulty' in the sort options to use the current data. The pool payout structure also has an impact. Pools with PPLNS, payout pay out according to the number of shares during a set window (N), which is normally several blocks. When you start mining on the pool you will have less shares counted towards the current round than those that have been mining before you and have reached the pool's max payout target.

I dual mine ETH+DCR, so heat is a big issue for me. I also have a Pulse RX 580 4 GB. The Nitro+ RX 580 has a better heatsink with open cooling tubes for better cooling compared to the Pulse which is a smaller card with a closed shroud design. The Nitro+ RX 580's run 5-8 C cooler than the Pulse when dual mining. The Nitro+ also perform better and have a dual Bios. Manufacturer's also use the best bin chips for the top cards of the line. For me having a card that runs cooler, performs better, has a dual Bios and has better resale value is more important than saving $25 - $30 on each card.

The Sapphire Nitro+ SE RX 580 are good cards. Easy to mod and they get good hash while running cool. I like the non SE (black shroud) version better though since I don't like the blue LED fans that can't be turned off on the SE version. The non SE is version is also cheaper and I get slightly better performance with the non SE cards.

2014, Year of Scrypt/X11 ninja shitcoin launch  Why did I sell in June when it hit 0.06

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.

I just tried DSTM and in my case I'm getting 2-3% less than the Bminer with the same settings, 1054 Sol/s vs 1083 Sol/s. CPU usage is definetly much higher at 99% with Bminer vs ~20% with DSTM on a Pentium. Power usage at the wall is 23 W less with DSTM. For the api in Bminer you need to add /api/status to the end of the ip address and port, but it's just unsorted text shown.

I have several of the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 SE cards (blue shroud). All of them have dual Samsung and Hynix memory types and timing straps in the Bios. I use the Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.2 'one click timing patch'. It automatically detects each memory type and adjusts the 1750 MHz and up straps with the bundled performance straps. PBE v1.6.3 and up adjusts the straps from 1500 MHz and up, but the 1750 MHz straps are more stable. I get 31+ MH/s dual mining with DCR 875 MH/s with a core clock 1200 MHz memory clock 2100 MHz.

With Windows 10 v1709 (Fall Creators Update), make sure you running the latest Crimson Relive 17.1x.x drivers with the 'compute' toggle on for each of the cards in AMD settings.

We'll my Zotac AMP! Exteme 1070 is now showing ~500 Sol/s @ 150 W, so that's ~12% better than EWBF if it's correct!

I get ~515 H/s @ 105 W on XMR with a Powercolor HD 7850 and ~195 H/s on ZEC for ~140 W with the AMD blockchain drivers.

HD 6XXX is a TeraScale 3 GPU, which is Pre GCN, so you can't use the latest Crimson Relive drivers. Finding miners that work will be a challenge. If you're going to go old school, at least get a HD 7XXX series. HD 7850 get ~195 H/s on ZEC and 500 H/s on XMR with the current series of drivers and miners.

Ran the same settings on both miners and it's more like 4-5% more than EWBF. 1080 + 1070 =~1020 Sol/s on Bminer with 60% Power limit and 350 W at the wall. On EWBF it's ~970 Sol/s for both. The 1080 gets the biggest boost on Bminer about 10% ~574 Sol/s with 60% power limit. I'm mining on Flypool which only shows the effective hash rate, so it will take a while to be accurate but it seems legit.

And scammers selling nothing but a white paper and a dream...

You can go back to Windows 7 if you want. Just do a clean install and your Windows 7 product key will still work. Once you activate Windows 10, it registers your machine ID so you no longer need to enter a product key to activate it when you reinstall Windows 10 on the same machine. Just skip the part where it asks for the key during setup.

If you want to mine Ethash coins like Ethereum on Windows 10 v1709 (Fall Creators Update), you need to use the latest Crimson Relive 17.1x.x drivers and toggle to the 'compute' mode from 'gaming' for each card in AMD settings. If you are having problems installing the driver with all the cards connected to the motherboard, remove all the GPU drivers in safe mode using DDU and make sure to enable the option in DDU to disable the Windows automatic driver install. Then shutdown and connect only one card to the primary x16 PCI-E slot. Once you install the driver for the one card, shutdown and connect two more cards to the motherboard. Start the rig and wait until Windows detects the cards and installs the drivers automatically. It may take a while for the cards to show up in Device Manager. Wait and confirm in the Windows Task Manger there is no running instance of the Driver Installation Module running. Once the Driver Installation Module is no longer showing in Task Manager, shutdown and repeat the process, connecting two cards at a time until all the cards are shown in Device Manager.

With RX 470/480 or RX 570 cards, you will then need to use the pixel patcher to bypass the driver signature check with a modded Bios to remove the Code 43 error in Device Manager before the cards will work. Just run the patcher, reboot and verify all the cards are shown in Device Manager with no errors.

It's faster. Getting 10-15% more than EWBF.

There is a search bar in the upper right hand corner of the forum. Use it, it's there for a reason.
The miners include a README file that includes setup instructions and configuration options. As the file name implies, read them carefully. This isn't rocket science, I'm sure you can do it!
