Hum actually I meant like storage in terms of hard disc space. I have a few discs with a few TB of space that I never use and was thinking how to monetize it  - offer hosting of files for others. I heard of Filecoin and SIA but not sure if that works. Do you have any experience with that?

Ah now i get you. No Idea about that though, sorry.

Just wanted to doible down on Cloud Mining - STAY AWAY from it. Lost a lot of money last year. Scam operations Smiley

What do you mean Cloud Mining? Is this a company or a way/procedure to mine? I'm curious now, what kind of scam operations are you talking about? Wouldn't want to get mixed into anything Smiley

I have heard that the term used to rent out storage (as opposed to processing poser) is farming (as opposed to mining).

Can you suggest any good "farming" marketplaces where people sell/buy their storage spaces?

You do not write about your hardware type, and it is very important here. If you are sure that you have great GPU, you can deal with NiceHash — this is the largest marketplace for cryptominers.
There you can sell and sure buy whatever you need for further mining.

Thanks for the info. So I have a 6GB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060. Is NiceHash ok for this? Are there other / better platforms than NiceHash?

Hi fellas, what is currently the best way to sell your computing power?

Which marketplace would you choose and why?

It is easy to do, you only have to remove the case from your Elite minitower, install the GTX 1060 in the PCIEX16 slot, I am afraid you have do some tweaks to cables of the motherboard as that is an old computer. The other card you can install with a riser, that motherboard , almost everyone of HP has at least 1 PCIEX1 slot which you can use this riser to connect and make it PCIEX16. The power supply is way more powerful than needed for just 2 xGTX 1060 cards.

Thanks. But what do you mean by tweaks to cables? How can I do that, is there any tutorial available?

Is this your CPU?




PSU is actually different for you motherboard.

Thanks for the research! You are right, the problem is that the motherboard has this funny 6-pin switch and it seems that the cable from the youtube might help. This is how the motherboard looks like:

Hi there, I have 2 GPUs of this:

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/6GB-Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1060-Windforce-OC-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1117373.html

and want to set them with one of the two computers which are:

- HP 8200 elite minitower the motherboard number is E93839 and FXN1 or

- HP computer product number is QB165EA#BED, motherboard number D33D66 and N14939

Which adapter is best suited for this set up (considering the GPUs and motherboards)?

Moreover, I also have available this adapter:

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-Corsair-CS-Series-CS650M-Modular-80--Gold_942714.html

is there a way to modify it to work with the mentioned GPUs and motherboards from above? Or is it useless for this set up?

I am really thankful for any help!

Ok, thank you for the info. Sorry for spamming here :/ I will move my questions to that other subtopic next time.

One more thing: there is another computer, a HP Elite, where the motherboard has the tag IPMMB-FM. Does this have the same issue with the adapter? Is this more suitable for the mentioned GPUs?

tell us more read here and see if you can give me more info

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktops-Archive-Read-Only/Is-IPMMB-FM-mobo-UEFI/td-p/3998480

I asked mods to move this

Hi! Thank you again for the input. So on this second computer the motherboard data says D33D66 and N14939, while the computer product number is QB165EA#BED. Will this work with the aforementioned GPUs?
btw thank you for telling the mods to move the topic.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Is there another adapter you would recommend to use 2 GPUs? Or is the motherboard's "fault" here?

I just want to solve this situation without spending too much on the gear.

Btw is there a special subtopic dedicated to issues like that on this forum?

My thoughts exactly. Although these guys are very known in the industry this is strange, as it breaches rule no. 1: never share a private key with anyone!
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Adapter issue on: October 17, 2017, 07:01:32 PM
I am new to mining. Idea is to have 2 GPUs like this.

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/6GB-Gigabyte-GeForce-GTX-1060-Windforce-OC-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1117373.html

Someone recommended a more powerful adapter than the current one, so this was bought:

https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/650-Watt-Corsair-CS-Series-CS650M-Modular-80--Gold_942714.html

However in the HP 8200 elite minitower the motherboard number is E93839 and FXN1.

And it seems the adapter and the motherboard are not compatible (too many pins?). (is this the main problem?)

What do you advise? What is the best solution for this?
