got my powerline adapter! Getting stable results finally with 4x 390x:  |

Does anyone know of an optimized nsgminer config for 390x's? I'm wondering if I can get better hash rate from em. Thanks!

No DAG files.
What does it mean? It means the DAG isn't being created as a file on your HDD anymore. Instead, it's being created by GPU, and stored in memory directly. There's a post not long after he released the version which made that change, where he explains exactly that.  this can make you mine even with 1GB system ram now? No. dag is the secret sauce ethereum runs on. It grows a little bigger from time to time. Claymore moved it off computer storage and directly into the GPU- we all still have it but now it creates faster when needed and doesnt take up space in your hdd or ssd. 1gb graphic cards still cant run because they are still using the same dag, just generated directly to them instead of read from the pc somewhere. It is not the GPU memory I'm referring to..it is the system memory.. in windows 64bit, before claymore made this miner..you can't mine with 1gb or 2gb system ram. Well then no, this change has absolutely nothing to do with system memory and will not affect the ability to mine. To be honest, I'm not sure how you're running any flavor of Windows with 1gb system RAM. And x64 to boot....x64 architecture won't do anything for you until you have > 4gb system RAM. |

Thanks much for the suggestion! I'm going to try (already ordered) a powerline ethernet adapter, as that will also work for my situation. Unfortunately, I paid a bit more than the product you linked, but shouldn't be an issue cuz Eth is going to the moon, right?  |

1 problem : a longer ethernet cable
Also, depending on your wiring, a powerline ethernet adapter might solve the problem with less clutter. Beautiful!!! I didn't know such a product existed! Yes, I think this is exactly what I want. The apartment I'm in is in a bit older of a building though...buildt in something like the 60's I think. Is there any way to test before I buy a powerline ethernet adapter? |

Ok, so I'm quite sure my first problem is the wireless adapter I'm using. Plugged in using an ethernet cable, I get steady connection and have no problems also connecting TeamViewer. Unfortunately, the spot I want my rig is nowhere near where my modem/router is, so I need to find a dependable wireless solution. Any suggestions?
2nd problem: Once I wired in to my network, I noticed that after a few minutes of running all 6 cards, a couple of them would reach 94+ temps. At which point, display driver would fail, and the 3 GPUs I had plugged into my 2nd PSU would turn off (sometimes the others would stay, sometimes the entire rig would just shut down). So, I guess I need to buy a Kill-A-Watt or similar to monitor voltages from each PSU.
Given I have 2x 280x and 4x 390x, does anyone have a recommendation for how to configure them? I mean, how many cards into the primary PSU, and how many in secondary PSU (I'm using Add2PSU to connect the 2x 1000 watt PSUs).
Thanks for any feedback!
-wireless solution - buy cheap router and use it as bridge - connecting via lan cable from PC to the router? - you have 2 problems - your cards are overheating AND possibly PSus are not good enough - improve cooling, and/or downclock a bit. Going over 80 for GPU or VRMs is not good. - What are your PSUs? 2 good 1K PSUs should have no problem feeding such system (3 gpu per psu) What brand are these and how old are they? Usually psus degrade 5-10% per year Install HWINFO and run it in sensor mode - and enable logging. IF/When system shuts down go and take a look if any voltage went bad. Hwinfo can log all MB and gpu cards sensors Ok, thanks all for your inputs, it's really really appreciated. It seems everyone gets varying results as far as how many GPUs can be connected to a PSU. The 2 1000W I have are EVGA Supernova's, brand new. So I'm guessing that's not my problem. What I didn't take into account though is how much extra power draw comes from dual mining. My original config was MB + 2x 280x + 1 390x on primary PSU, then the remaining 3 390x on the 2nd PSU. But, 2nd PSU was getting very hot, and eventually one (or more) of the cards would overheat and all shut down. So, I've ordered a Kill-A-Watt to measure and compare so I can be sure. Mind you, my MB (H81 PRO BTC) has 2x 4-pin molex adapters on the board which I have plugged in from the primary PSU as well, so maybe that affects power draw from 1st PSU as well.... As for networking, I live in downtown city apartment, and my cable/router is my bedroom because that's the only spot I have a cable to connect the modem to. So, a wired ethernet connection isn't an option  I need to do this wirelessly as my wife won't let me have a loud/hot rig sitting on my dresser in the bedroom, not an ethernet cable running through the damn house For now, I've unplugged the 2 280x's and am happily hashing away with the 4 cards. I'll post back my results and config once I have all 6 running flawlessly! |

So I finally added the last 2 GPUs to my mining rig. Before, I had 4 cards hooked up and everything hashed as expected, but with some "mildly" frequent disconnects from pools (especially suprnova), according to the software.
Last night I added the last 2 390x's, and everything booted and all cards were recognized just fine. However, once I start the miner, TeamViewer would almost immediately disconnect and I would have a very hard time reconnecting. The miner reported eth hashrate as expected (~160 mh), but my pool (coinotron) reports only 2-5 mh, which is a fraction of what it should be. I tried running Genoi's latest release, but the CPU usage jumped to 99% once the mining started, and after a couple minutes I saw TeamViewer disconnecting as well as display driver crashes, so quickly scrapped that strategy.
I'm not really sure what might be the issue, but it seems maybe the wireless adapter I have installed isn't doing what it needs to. Any advice as to what might be the issue? For completeness sake:
4gb RAM
Celeron CPU
2x 1k watt PSU
4x 390x
2x 280x
Windows 10
Thanks!
I had a similar issue previously, until I installed a "headless HDMI or DVI adapter" - after that my TeamViewer or VNC connects as per normal as if the remote irg is attached to a PC monitor. Well, whenever I first start the rig up, I have a monitor plugged into the first GPU, and I still see the same behavior. TeamViewer only disconnects or somehow seems less stable when I fire up a miner.... Ok, so I'm quite sure my first problem is the wireless adapter I'm using.

when it was added to bitfinex it dumped pretty heavy.. possibly on prospect of the short market they have there. the btc-e addition diversifies the ETH markets a bit, but i was expecting more action upon this landmark achievement. maybe its just going to be a delayed reaction? the single candle on btc-e's ETH/BTC pairing sure did look nice.  btce will take ETH to 0.06 or higher I think that will be delayed action. It could happen in 3-6 months. The price of Etheruem needs some consolidation. yea prob as we head closer to devcon2...as for now the downtrend is def coming to an end. Which is honestly a bummer. I kept hoping we would get down closer to 0 .01 before I invest a couple paychecks in it Owell, I'm content with waiting!  |

time to buy Yup! I'm about to turn ~45k FTC to into large ETH buy |

Is there an SMS/email alert service for eth price fluctuations? E.g. price on exchange E hits value X triggers a text/email to be sent. I see such things floating around for BTC....
Edit: Maybe this could be a smart contract? If a transaction in the last block included a BTC -> ETH (or vice versa) transaction at value X, then email/SMS me?
email alert,or via sound on your pc https://cryptrader.comSexy. Cryptrader looks quite feature rich, I'll have to spend some time tonight learning stuff. |

Hello everybody, I've read the introduction and unfortunately I don't have time to read the entire thread right now. My question is following is there any information anywhere on what would be the business case for Decred. I see a lot of info on technical stuff but I'm curious about the business side. Who is the project targeted for, who are the end users, what are the typical use cases so to say and what is unique about Decred to make it really stand out from other blockchains and currrencies that seem to pop up right now like mushrooms after the rain ? I don't know about others but I just don't mine anything without fundamental understanding of everything behind the currency. The information given in the introduction is clearly not enough. This on the other hand was very informative for me http://www.coindesk.com/morgan-stanley-positions-stock-medium-term-blockchain-earnings/Being in charge of foreign markets business development for the third largest money transfer company in the world i really understand what Morgan Stanley analysts are coming from predicting the future of blockchains. Whether we like it or not the future is for permissioned blockchains as a mainstream financial/settelement related instrument and some public blockchains with what I see to be quite limited uses just because nothing in the world could really go mainstream totally bypassing legislation/compliance/kyc and therefore governments. I want to be wrong on this, I really do. But please tell me more about Decred. I'm sure combining PoW with PoS isn't enough to make it succeed. Lots of respect for ehtical approach to development and self funding so to say, but that again isn't enough. Everything same as BTC, but with the addition of this: https://dcrstats.com/articles/understanding-the-value-of-the-decred-dcr-systemSo far, the "value" of these things is.... ~$1.60/dcr. |

how to decred-only mine? I see only modes to do dual and eth-only. Thanks
I can't figure it out either. If I use only decred cmd switches I get an error. Thanks to who ever has the answer. only dual mode and eth only mode - refer to 1st post in this thread /salute Thanks! |

Is there a place to see decred mining difficulty over time? Thanks!

Use stratum also for decred. Replace -dpool http://dcr.suprnova.cc:9112 with -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252The rejects will drop to 1-3% And You have to wait for almost 24h for DCR confirmation. Thanks that made a difference btw can this Cannot parse JSON! be ignored? ETH: Stratum - Connected
DCR: Stratum - Connected
Need to check DAG file (epoch #46), starting...
ETH: Authorized
Cannot parse JSON!
DCR: Authorized
DAG file (epoch #46) is ok.
Need to check next DAG file (epoch #47) in back
Applying DAG epoch #46 for GPU #0
Create GPU buffer for GPU #0
Applying DAG epoch #46 for GPU #0 done
Applying DAG epoch #46 for GPU #1
Create GPU buffer for GPU #1
Applying DAG epoch #46 for GPU #1 done
DAG file (epoch #47) is ok. Ya, I see the same after switvhing to supernova stratum. It caused the miner to constantly restart (with watchdog), so I've deleted my DAG files and having the miner regenerate them. Not really sure if that will help or not... |
