1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners on: January 29, 2018, 12:56:03 PM
Trying to set up a new mining software as in the managed software section of the AW help website. I can make it work by specifying the path to the mining software on any particular rig but that means making a separate template for each rig. How can I set things so that one template will work for all rigs? I tried putting the miner software in the same folder as all of AW's miners but that doesn't seem to help.

You will find them on eBay but most ship from China still.

The risers fitted with the molex 4 pin connector take +12V and +5V from the molex. The risers fitted with the 6 pin power connector only get +12V from the connector so need an on board regulator to produce the +5V needed by the GPU. The 6 pin type is best suited for when you have a separate power supply for the GPU's as there is then no possibility of connecting 2 different power supplies to the GPU at once. The 6 pin types have more components on them to give the +5V supply and therefore have more scope for failure.

Nonsense. PCI-E GPU's only use 12V, which is what the PCI-E specification calls for. Up to 75 W though the PCI-E slot, 75 W through the 6-pin and 150 W through the 8-pin VGA power inputs. The voltage regulator on the 6-pin risers stabilizes the the 12V line to prevent spikes. It is NOT a transformer to convert 12V to 5V.


If you look at the pin connections of a PCI-e slot you will see that it also needs a +3.3V supply (I was wrong saying 5V it is 3.3V). All the 6 pin risers I have seen have more components fitted than the molex types. I can only think that it is easier to derive the 3.3V from a 5V line than it is from a 12V line.

Guys, I have another question here. MB comes with only 2 USB ports. I have kb, mouse and usb stick. Weird, but how you deal with 3 usb devices with 2 ports? Some kind of replicator?

A cheap passive USB hub will do for that.

Or get one of these neat little keyboard mouse radio units - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sonnics-Wireless-Rechargable-Multifunction-Raspberry/dp/B0152A76H2

My Onda 1800 just arrived from China. Just a motherboard in a bag, no box, no documentation, nothing else with it at all. Is that how they are normally shipped?

I am sure you will find plenty of help if you ask this question in the Awesome Miner thread.

Okay  I do not want to take from the op

but here goes it has worked well running  evga 1070 ti hybrids  I want it to run  eight evga 1070 ti hybrids.

I got my 7th one today.  the build is open case.

the board has 7x  6 pin pcies in

the board has 13  6 pin pcies out

it is a great board to run 1070's  that have 1 pcie jack
it is a great board to run 1060's that have   1 pcie jack.

op has a good case idea for farms

not homes.

if he sold me a case I would want 8 of these cards in it

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5670-KR  set to 130 watts tdp
https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=08G-P4-5170-KR  set to 120 watts tdp


case would pull   1000 watts dc  for  1070
case would pull   1100 watts dc  for  1070 ti


it has 7 jacks in  so 1100/7 =  157 watts a wire

if you   have a server psu  you could feed 7 input jacks

don't use the output jacks  use 8 cables to the   8 cards from the same internal psu.

that lowers draw on the 7 jacks in.

I linked blower style   cards  for a reason  

combined with the 6 case fans  they would work well to cool the case.

I don't think this would ever be a quiet case  but in a warehouse  on in my solar array loft it would be good.

As you seem to have seen some different motherboards of this style, which has the largest spacing between GPU's?

The too close spacing is my main concern.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How can I set up my own Proof of Stake Mining Rig? on: January 08, 2018, 09:42:38 PM
Proof of stake is where you get rewarded for holding coins (usually bought). Proof of work is where coins are awarded for mining. Many of the recently launched coins are POS only and no mining is involved. Older coins tend to be POW only. Some coins change from POW to POS at some point. Just have to study the coins you are interested in to see how they operate.

I hope it will be mineable?
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wave Crest (issuer of prepaid bitcoin cards) was shut down today on: January 05, 2018, 09:44:15 PM
Looking around I found the UQUID card which seems to be a suitable replacement

https://uquid.com/account/register/a?u=UQ936161

Not actually a Visa or Mastercard but if you can fund Paypal with it then it is almost as good.

Wirex also withdrew all their Visa cards today.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to PayPal GBP? on: January 05, 2018, 09:02:40 PM
The UQUID card can take funding in a variety of cryptocurrencies and can be linked to your Paypal account as a source of funds.

Go here - https://uquid.com/account/register/a?u=UQ936161

Thank you. Would I send the bitcoin from blockchain to uquid.com, then to Paypal?

You will need to first create an account at UQUID and give them 2 proofs of identity. Once your account is authorised you can get a card which you can link to Paypal to draw funds from, much like a debit card. You would then load your card by paying in your cryptos. Have a look at the website it is all explained there.

Well its now past 200,000 and still growing. Looks like the bitcoin network is becoming non functional.

Is there some reason why Ethminer is not included in AM? Or is it just not as good as Claymore for Ether?

Seems to be no point mining now as there have been no new blocks found for 2 days. Will it start working again soon?
