Does anyone know how to Mine Loki or other types of Cryptonight Heavy coins with the newer xmrig-amd or xmrstack?
they dont support the newer amd drivers.

I think this needs a short and good answer. If you have made 100% ROI and you don't care about power costs just keep doing what you are doing and in the long term I think you will be rewarded for your faith in crypyocurrencies.
Yes. Thats what i probably will do. I will agree with many replies above. First, congrats, you’ve reached ROI and covered your investments. I hope, you’ve also had some income cashed out. Now, even with the electricity costs, cryptocurrency fluctuations and the world not being able to predict the coin prices, you can still keep mining and have a good return. Keep mining ETH with the majority of your rigs, but also look around and change the algos for some of your rigs to mine some new coins, which might (or might not) have a bit speedier potential. Good luck!
Thanks. I mined LTC, VTC, DOGE, FTC and a couple other coins back in 2013-2014 and some of them did go higher and some just died. so thats what i most likley will do. Just have to find some good coins to mine. There are a lot of coins out there. Thanks. But where do i read more about mining it? |

I my opinion you should still mine but have more diversity in what you are mining but with the majority of it in your preferred cryptocurrency and the remaining to other altcoins. Also if you think that you already have used the GPUs to a certain extent then it is time for you to sell it and buy a new one though buying a new set of GPU might be a waste of money since the market is in a bearish state. Well in the end it is up to your choice.
Thanks. Thats what i probably will do. Any good coins you recomend? if you don't need urgent money and you've covered your costs as roi suggest you mining low-volume coins on the market. Suqa as a good start can be for you
Thanks. I will check it that coin up. Do you recomend any other coins? |

Alot of miners are asking the exact same questions pretty much. They don't know if they should keep mining for $0.25 profit or just sell the GPUs or just turn them off temporarily.
The issue with selling them at the moment is they aren't in demand and prices on eBay are very low. I have seen some RX 470/570 GPUs going for as low as $80 USD on eBay without shipping.
You can keep mining but profits are very low, everyday you mine you might risk wearing out some GPU fan or just wearing out the GPU itself.
Hence why for some, its just worth it to just temporarily shut off their rigs and turn them on in the future when the profits are greater.
Exactly. The second hand market is pretty bad right now. I have almost 2 years warranty left on all of the cards. So wearing them out is not a problem. Does anyone think that maybe i would get much more coins for the cash i would get if i sold the hole farm and bought coins instead. I mean maybe i would never get as much coins from mining than to just by the coins directly with the cash from the hardware sale. I will most likely just keep on mining but that was a tought. Thanks for you input.
But what is the problem? The Power cost should NOT be taken in to consideration.
If so there is no reason to stop mining. Unless you urgently need money. Moreover prices of used GPU now is quite low so selling GPUs now also not the best idea In my case power cost is the main that should be taken into account. But I found more cheap electricity placement and my rigs give me a profit. No problem. I just ask what would you do in my situation. I know the power cost is one of the most important things. But in this case, i dont want to take it into considiration In my opinion you should keep mining. I would only undervolt cards if you have not done it. Since we are not talking about the costs of electricity, the more you should not stop mining.
Thanks. Yes the RX 580/570 cards are undervolt and flashed since day one. The GTX 1070 cards are at 100w power in simplemining (SMOS) |

If you’re a long term believer in crypto, the answer’s obvious to me, and that is to continue mining with the cards even after they have broken even. Power’s not an issue as you stated, so there really isn’t a point where it might be more profitable to buy coins than mine at a loss, but if you truly believe in Ether, keep mining it! There’s no guarantee the price of ETH will go up, but if your viewpoint is that crypto will become more successful in the future, go with it.
Thanks for your input. I was thinking maybe to sell of the hardware and buy coins for the money? What do you think about that? I don't think if it's good if you continue to mine ETH since your miner is GPU's you can mine with other coins that I think have potential to grow than ETH.
Look at the other miners out there they are mining other altcoin than ETH because they know they can make profit compared to stay mining with ETH and honestly, I stop mining ETH because according to whattomine and coincalculator ETH is not profitable right now and most miners out there switching to Raven coin which is more profitable in Nvidia cards.
The other miner are mining new PoW coins because they know after 2 to 3 months the price will increase and if you mine the new coin I am sure that you can get higher rewards due to low difficulty compared mining on high difficulty so that you can hold your coins and sell after 2 or 3 months if the price increase more than 300% or more(Depend on the price).
Thanks for your input. What coins would you recommend? I have heard about raven coin from Voskcoin on youtube. Nothing more than that. Maybe i should read about it. I was thinking maybe to sell of the hardware and buy coins for the money. What do you think about that? With the crazy prices and not all that impressive mining speeds for the dollar I think the cards you have will remain the de facto standard for a while to come now. I would keep grinding away, maybe take a risk with a machine or two on a new coin if you think it will go somewhere. Once you have reached the breakeven point, its much easier to experiment without worrying about your returns.
Thanks for you input. I totaly agree with you. I mined with AMD 7950, 7970, RX 280 and RX 290 cards a couple years ago. The cards is sold for almost the same price now as when i sold them. Pretty crazy. I was thinking maybe to sell of the hardware and buy coins for the money. What do you think about that? |

Hi everybody. I have a small farm. around 70 gpus. Had around 100 before but sold of little bit and gave away a couple gpus to family and friends for their gaming PCs.
64 gtx 1070 of various modells.
6 AMD RX 580 8GB Sapphire mostly.
I have reached 100% ROI ( Return on investment )
I have almost mined Ether all the time.
And i must add that i am a long term beliver.
What would YOU do now? The Power cost should NOT be taken in to consideration.
English is not my main language just so you know.

Hi. Does anyone else get lower hashrates with v9.2? I get 173-174 Mh/s with v7.1. But only 168-169 with v9.2? I use the exact same config files?

Hi. I have ben mining for about 2 months now on eligius. But it seems that i always get less coins than what i should get.
My average gh/s is 3,629.51 Gh/s for over a very long period. But i am just getting around 0.0229 per day. Where i should get 0.0298.
I have 3 Antminer S5 with temps around 50-55c
Im just curious. Any ideas why its like that?
Btw i have about 1% Hw Error after 27 days up time and less than 0.002% rejected.
The last couple of weeks have been very unlucky, that is probably skewing the average. On the stats page you can see the total luck percent over the course of your mining. Okay. Is it just beacause of that? I am lossing about 1/3 om my total reward. Seems little to much. The total percent is about 90% |

m50b25: If you're connecting to a p2pool node, try specifying the difficulty by multiplying your hashrate by 0.00000116, in your case it should be something like -u Vd8EUUAq...+0.001624 -p x. I remember having low bitrate for some of my 7970s with some algo on p2pool before and setting the diff manually helped, not sure whether it was scrypt-n though or some other algo, but worth a try. It's your worker name (VTC address in your case) + 0.001624 without any spaces. Another suggesting is to get rid of the config file temporarily, you've got a lot of stuff in there and not everything might work with vertminer, when troubleshooting like this it's better to just start with default simple settings, no config, just bare minimum command line.
Thanks for your reply. I will look in to it this weekend. I will come back with the results. m50b25: You mentioned going down to 1030 on core speed, but have you tried going lower? If you haven't, try setting one card to 950 in vertminer, and move it up in increments of 10.
Yes i tried from 1000-1090. I will try 950-1000 with increments of 10 this weekend. I will post the results here after. |

m50b25 Probably not enough ram. If you've got another 4 GB lying around, try adding it to this system and see whether hashrate goes up.. you should have 360+ KHash/sec at those clocks. I've got 355K from 7970 @ 1000/1250, so your 1080/1500 should give more.
I could just borrow 4 gb from one of my other rigs just to try that. Thanks Hello everybody
I have 4 Powercolor 280x turboduo.
I cant get the cards over 291 kh/s each. Something very strange about my cards i that i have to set gpu thread 1 instead of the usual gpu thread 2 i use when mining other scrypt coins.
I have GA-F2A85X-UP4, Amd A4-5300 and 4 gb ram.
Any ideas what i should try? I have tried to play around with the gpu core speed. I still dont get over 291 kh/s
...
Using -g 2 with -I 13 should always be possible on a 280x, I think. Your engine clock is possibly way too high for it. Did you try changing the thread concurrency + or - 1 (8191 or 8193)? One other thing that has occasionally been useful for me is to try different Catalyst versions. You didn't say what kind of error or failure you were getting when attempting -g 2. edit: oh yeah, try worksize 128 too. I know. I should be able to use -g 2. Yes i already tried using thred concurrency 8191 and 8193. I usually use 8193 when mining other scrypt coins. I will try lowering the core speed but i seriously doubt it will do anything because i already tried lowering to 1030 mhz. With that config i have and using -g 2 i get 745 kh/s when mining ltc. And the cards are stable for weeks. I will post later today what kind of error i get in vertminer when using -g 2 No luck at all. I was able to use -g 2 with 8gb ram but i dont get any better hashrate. It just gets worse. I have tried just about every setting i can find. different tc, core speed, memory, intensity, lookup-gap. Yeah you name it. Here is someone who posted in this thread at page 41. He got 4x powercolor 280x turboduo just like me. I tried his config. Stil not getting any better hashrate. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416572.msg5430886#msg5430886Here are two pictures of cgminer and config with -g2 and -g 1 The rig was running about 20 minutes with each config. -g 2 -g 1 |
