The only official members of the Signatum Team are Skankhunt42, The Doctor, Cryptovore, and Kahir. Any others who claim to be part of the development team are not. Crowetic had never been a member of the development team, but all contact to him had been removed as the team received notifications from BURST and Spanish investors informing the team that he rigged them, and ran away with their money.

You didn't bother to google search this guy?

when does this become mineable?

When the OP updates its post. Everything will be in details and its an X11 algorithm so be ready with your hardware but have patience with mining software. It could take a little longer .

cheers!

Does anyone else notice more than 1% being deducted for pool fees at supernova on this? Looks more like 5% Was 6.2% overall for the past few days when calculating credit and debit from mp.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POOL] Mining Pool Hub - Multipool. Multialgo, Auto Exchange to any coin. on: July 16, 2017, 02:33:56 AM
When are we to expect some additional coins being added to the pool? It would be nice to see LBC, HUSH, ZEN etc added as their diffs are dropping providing good opportunity for revenue.
12  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Looking for an experienced miner on: July 14, 2017, 11:05:48 PM
There are 4 general categories of cryptocurrency:

Those that easily mine on ASIC, such as Bitcoin and other SHA256 coins. As such, ASICs outperform anything else and are the only way to go. That means a big investment, free electricity, or both is needed to get a good profit.

Those that are ASIC resistant but not GPU resistant, such as Curecoin, Foldingcoin, and a number of other cryptocurrencies. With ASICs not being an option, GPUs become the miner of choice. Note that developments could make some coins in this category, such as Litecoin, no longer ASIC resistant. I personally like Curecoin and Foldingcoin because they can be merge mined and help find cures for cancer. If they cause an ASIC to be developed (unlikely given how diverse the task is), it would be a huge benefit for society.

Those that are ASIC resistant and GPU resistant, such as earnhoney. CPUs are then the only way to mine it, and depending on the coin, it can be mined on either desktop or mobile CPUs, the latter being more efficient but usually more expensive per computing power. I say "usually" since it is possible to find cheap smartphones (have to wait for a sale) that work out to a lower cost per MIPS than a desktop CPU along with a higher efficiency. However, with the way things are, even $20 smartphones aren't good investments nowadays.

And then there are altcoins that rely on hard drive storage for mining, the idea being that it is orders of magnitude cheaper to store tables used to calculate hashes than to recompute them every time. Burstcoin, Storj, Sia, and one new coin are currently in this category. Efficiency is on the same level as smartphone coins, but it is far easier to find other uses for a few TBs of HDDs as opposed to 10 or so cheap smartphones.

Thank you for your time to explain this for me.

What's your suggestion on wich miners to go for ?

A series of same types to speed up mining a handfull coins or a series of different miners able to mine all sorts of algorithms ?

Note that i can make an investment arround 4k dollars for start up. If needed i can expand in future with profits generated from mining.

There's no "best". You have to decide what kind of strategy you want to use. Much of that is going to be decided after you're already up and running due to trial and error. This isn't something anyone can answer for you. Also, 4k is not even a "start". You are going to need to put about 30k into this before its something serious. You may be better off looking at trading or investing that 4k in crypto instead of taking up mining.

Nicehash consistently makes less rewards per hour than every other multipool we've tried. We gave you guys a couple days on a gpu farm just to test, and had to finally settle on Mining Pool Hub due to the lower payout experienced on your network. Considering you guys have built in benchmarks, there must be something going on in the back end thats shaving revenue off miners efforts.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Drop of hashrate for Polaris cards incoming on: June 28, 2017, 04:17:18 AM
so it sounds like we need more info. if amd is backing that its not an issue on their end, then I might feel bad about cancelling a 90 card order in favor of Nvidia. *sigh*

Happy to help bud!

If its working don't mess with it.  I notice that after we set GEN3 and boot, install the drivers and restart, setting GEN1 works fine. It's bizarre, but it works. All our miners are on GEN3 with the risers we're using right now. One of the rigs here is a bit goofy and sometimes it will lose 4 cards on a reboot. The fix for that is to unplug it for 2 minutes and reboot, then they show up again. I think its the risers holding power or something.

Glad to hear you got it fixed!



Thanks for the help honestly !

This forum is amazing !

Nice to see it works now, sometimes some cards area bit fancy  Tongue

I suppose if you don't have any reason to upgrade, don't do this if your system works as it should be... Anyway that's what I would do, I would be afraid to have to make it work again  Cheesy
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 6x asus gtx 1070 mining rig problems & settings on: June 20, 2017, 06:42:59 AM
Currently i have power 100, core 100, memory 580 and fan 80.

I would try power to 75-80, core 100, memory 350, fan set to user defined automatic fan control and set the value higher for the different temperatures.

then see if it run stable and memory you might can go up to 500 in smaller steps


I have to disagree. Core clock does nothing but cause problems.

set your power to 100 for troubleshooting. Memory to +500. Fans to 100%

Increase your memory by 50 for every hour of stability you get.

add to the end of your bat file -r 0 so that it auto restarts cards when they die.

You can also try -r 60 and have it restart the miner automatically every hour.

Once you figure out where the issue is, increase -r to 120, 240, etc until you get the kinks worked out.

Video card failures are almost always due to shit psu, too much overclock or too much heat. The back plates on these 1070's get really hot if you do not supplement with a fan so think about using one of those. Almost all of my crashing stopped when i got those things dialed in.

My settings are 75 power, 0 clock, +650 memory and I'm hashing at 32MH per card. I have a portable fan running on each rig, though ill replace these when i rebuild the frames and put 120mm case fans in to get the heat away from the cards. At 70C on the cards, there was nothing but issues with 8 rigs. Now that I'm down to 50C with dialed in mem clocks, I have 14 reliable rigs that dump coins into my wallet all day.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Was there a time gpu mining was not profitable? on: June 20, 2017, 06:28:05 AM
Profitability will plummet to cents per day by the end of this year.  Most probably in the next 3 months but definitely don't expect to make much in 2018

said everyone every week.

good job on the miner. finally switched to this on windows and the manager has been awesome!

These cards are evidently RIP now. The firesale is already beginning on ebay.

So, those MSI motherboards are bitchy little units. I have 12 rigs using MSI Z270-A and the initial setup is a bit of fiddly crap to make work.

What we do here is.

  • Boot with USB cables removed from cards. Risers can be plugged in.
  • Upgrade board firmware
  • Install OS
  • Install drivers for onboard video
  • Go back to bios, enable over 3g video setting
  • Enable integrated graphics as primary video
  • Change PCI risers to GEN3
  • Shut down machine.
  • Connect 1 video card
  • Boot to windows and verify it shows up
  • Shut down and reconnect all risers.
  • Power back up.
  • Enter bios and verify board explorer shows all PCI slots full
  • Boot to windows
  • Install drivers
  • Profit

I hope that helps. They sometimes work in GEN1, but GEN3 seems to give the most consistent results.
