Hi guys!

I am one of those, who have frozen stuff on Vircurex (https://vircurex.com/) - and I didnt hope that there will be some progress.
But it looks like, the developers - or whoever is keeping it alive - are still kicking and trying to fix the catastrophy that happened. They unfroze the TRC deposits ppl had there recently and now even more good news from Yesterday:
2018-02-13: 1.25 BTC and 37 LTC returned to frozen fund holders NEW
The profit of 1.25 BTC and 37 LTC from Q4 2017 have been distributed to users with frozen funds. We have applied the same logic as in the past. Half the funds are distributed to users with the largest frozen funds and half to the users with the least amount of frozen funds. If you still have frozen funds, please bear with us. We will distribute all Vircurex profits every quarter.

It is terribly low amount of money - but if we give them a bit trust and boost trading there, it would help to unfreeze all funds and make all happy. But all this wont happen without liquidity. If You were lucky and earned millions - You can help the others by trying to trade there and be praised forever

Btw - does anyone know who is behind Vircurex now - keeping it away from total death? Cause original guy who ran away with money is probably no longer involved, right?
Cause i would like to propose an agreement like the one on btc-e - that I would give up part of my funds, to cover payout for other unlucky guys - in trade of unfreezing rest of my funds.

thanks ...

Sorry, but those are rookie numbers. You have to pump it up!

I get 815-820 H on all my RX 470s 4G (1275/1975) - while drawing 90W from the wall / card (i measured it - cause info from GPU-Z has nothing to do with actual power draw from the plug)
And on RX 570s 4G I get 850-860 H (1300/2050) - and I can get them to 880-890 (1350/2075) - but then some cards fail and restart, so i dont clock that high.
They are also undervolted, but i guess thats obvious for every miner in the business ... and it varies a lot card to card - some can live with -100 mV, some fail at -50 mV. NVIDIA cards are much better with undervolting - but not getting anywhere near these hash numbers (GTX 1070 can do around 720-730 - and its tragic, compared to price of the card and RX cards)

So - take your time, reflash bios on all cards - either find one, or modify it - and youll get much better numbers.

Memory clocks are same as regular 1070 - and core has no influence on ETH mining. I underclock cores on 1070s to 1000-1200 levels and still get same results (with much lower consumption from the wall). The highest hashrates on ETH are around 32,5 for really good cards (Zotac AMP! - able to sustain +900 (1800eff) on memories), 30-31 on regular cards and 29,5 on unlucky cards (Asus with Micron memories).
So regarding the ETH - I dont see any possibility to get higher hashes on 1070Ti - unless You manage to OC the memories like god.

Nevermind - then just run 4 threads (8MB L3 cache) - each on physical core (0,2,4,6) - and You should get maximum performance for Your CPU.
Btw one additional finding - when I dual mine ETH + something on my GPUs (1070) - each card draws around 100-110W (undervolted). And its possible to surf net, do administrative work etc. But when I switch GPUs to Monero - power draw is reduced to 60-70W per card, earnings +- similar to ETH - but its no longer possible to work on computer. Its as slow as my old 486 SX 25MHz machine or even ZX Spectrum
Btw - those 1070s are doing 700-710 Hashes on Monero - so considering the price - Ryzen CPUs win (at least in my country)

So I built the rig with Ryzen 5 1600 (without X) - and was quite amazed. That thing is performing even better than my other 1600X CPUs I get stable 560 H/s from it - again at 3.8 Ghz. I guess it was a lucky pick of the CPU.

If You get below 500 (around 450 H/s) on Your 1600 CPUs - I may know where problem is. Im not sure if I should tell You - cause Youll be taking away my profits by mining better But I am a good person so Ill tell You. (You can alway send me some monero scraps to: 4JUdGzvrMFDWrUUwY3toJATSeNwjn54LkCnKBPRzDuhzi5vSepHfUckJNxRL2gjkNrSqtCoRUrEDAgR wsQvVCjZbRwc3EtMhPPX3gZ4daM )

1st - follow this guide and unlock large pages in Win (https://www.usxmrpool.com/#easy_mining_guide)
2nd - cause You have 8 possible threads (16 MB L3) - but just 6 cores - it DOES matter on which cores You do the mining. Cause two cores will be under heavier load. And Windows uses cores from "beginning" - so usually core 1 and 2. If You put 2 threads on these two first cores - Youll see lower hashrates.

so configure xmr-stak-cpu like this:
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 9 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : false, "affine_to_cpu" : 11 },

when I had it 0/1/2/3/4/6/8/10 - my hashrates were in those 450 ranges

hope it helps

I have Ryzens in my rigs - built especially with monero in mind and my results are following (large pages enabled in Win 10):
Ryzen 5 1600X (3,8 Ghz at 1.23V) - stable 540 - 550 Hash/s - consumes ca 44W from wall
Ryzen 7 1700 (3,8 Ghz at 1.23V) - stable 630 Hash /s - consumes ca 44W from wall
I believe that I can get near 4 Ghz - but this setup is 24/7 rock solid and doesnt lead to unnecessary restarts of the system. Wattage was measured as a difference between idle system and CPU-only mining turned ON.
Ill build new rig with Ryzen 5 1600 this weekend - but I guess the results will be same as for 1600X - cause L3 cache and number of cores are identical.

Yep - L3 cache is a dealbreaker in Monero mining. Thats why I based all my recent rigs on AMD Ryzen processors - unbeatable in price / performance ratio compared to Intel.
Dont go below 1600 line. But 1600, 1600X, 1700, 1700X - all will be actually profitable and can pay themselves.
All these CPUs can run at 3.8 GHz safely with voltage 1.23V 24/7 while doing really nice hashrates:
Idle system (Win 10): 44 W
1600X @ 3.8 - 540-550 H/s - 95 W at the wall = ca 41 W of power rise against idle - which is really nice, considering its 95W TDP CPU
1700 @ 3.8 - 630 H/s - same wattage as 1600X

You will probably find some GPUs that can match this performance / watt - but most likely they will consume more.
But Monero is overall more "eco-friendly" than ETH. One of my computers with two 1070 and Ryzen 1600X inside is taking 330W while mining ETH+SIA on GPUs and XMR on CPU. But when I switch also the GPUs to XMR - it takes 235W from the wall. Btw 1070 do around 705-710 H/s.

hope it helps guys - even in i7 thread
