Oh it will work with no issue, its when you try to send something back out of that hardware wallet is when you will feel the pain and possibly have an issue. It took almost 9 minutes for my trezor to send my Zcash after a week of .002 payments. Multiply that by a few months or a year and who knows.
Zcash4Win can accept small payments with no issues? |

Thanks for the reply! I'm definitely going to bump up the amount before payout to avoid this "glitch" if that is what you want to call it.
As of right now everything is working smooth.
I have 3 of my 1070ti's mining but 3 of my 6 risers were DoA. So now I am out profits for a while, lesson learned. Once I get all 6 cards online I will be altering payout.

[SOLVED] It appears that Ledger customer support was correct and they were just having syncing issues. I've successfully sent some Zec with ZERO issues!

Currently got my first rig up and running, will overclock once rig is stable for a few days but i am hoping to force fan speeds higher.
Currently it is stuck at 30% and even after going through the online dashboard it will not save my settings. Is there a command line i can add to the dstm miner to force fan speeds at a higher rate?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try exporting some more coins soon and let you know. I reached out to customer service and they said it was synching issues they were working on resolving.
We shall see.

1. at the moment they have some sync issues with the wallet https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005165189-What-if-the-synchronisation-lasts-too-long-2. check their FAQ about small amounts: https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005198485-Hardware-wallets-FAQCan I use a hardware wallet as a direct payout from a mining pool or a faucet?It is not recommended to receive small payments (also called dust payments) on a hardware wallet. This kind of incoming payments are typical of mining pools or faucets. Set the payment threshold at a higher level (for instance 0.05 BTC), or use a temporary software based wallet which you'll empty every 0.05 BTC. The reason is that the chip must sign all inputs when you want to make an outgoing transaction. Imagine that you have received 1,000 payments of 0.001 BTC. If you want to make a payment of 1 BTC then the chip will have to construct a transaction of 1,000 inputs and sign 1,000 times. Not only it will take a few hours, but you have risks that it will not manage to do it (the chip may get too hot and fault some computation etc). If you are already in this case, the best is to restore your 24 words seed on Mycelium and empty your wallet (and stop receiving dust payments). Interesting, what would be considered a non-dust payment for Zcash I wonder. I'm currently getting paid every 0.01 which I feel like isn't too terrible. I'm thinking it's just a sync issue. Any Zcash miners have any input? |

I've been mining with a single GPU and having the pool payout to my "t" address for Zcash to my Ledger Nano S. I wanted to try and do a test payout and convert my Zcash to BTC then BTC to USD then withdraw to my bank account. However, when trying to send my Zcash from my ledger nano s i am getting the following error "Sending failed - An error occurred" I read some old posts saying that the ledger nano s can freeze up funds if small amounts are sent to the wallet. I am curious if this is still a known issue or maybe the blockchain/server is just tied up? Anyone have similar issues or can shed some light on this? I'd hate to get my 1070ti rig up and running to have my funds frozen in place. Thanks,  |

After following your videos and doing a lot of research I've invested in a beginner 6 card 1070 ti SC rig. Mainly due to high electricity costs. I'm looking forward to building the rig! Thanks for the great content.

Wanted to take a minute and say thank you. I used nicehash for a few days until I became a little more versed in mining and found your miner. My hash rate is up by 30 with no overclocking insane. Great work.

Right on! I was able to get some good deals locally on some 1070s that I couldn't pass up (helps knowing how various manufacturers vary their warranty terms too (especially if buying used-look for receipts etc). Micron memory is decent and is what I found most common in 1070s up here in Canada. If eletricity costs are a concern then definitely run some numbers to see if the higher efficiency is worth it. Good luck (hope you wont need it except for in the pool you mine on  ) and have fun! That'll be the next hurtle is what pool to mine! I'm still struggling to find a good source on 1070 vs 1070ti efficiency to wattage. Not sure if people are secretive or the information is tucked away. |

1080 ti`s are best for resale value, rx580 is the fastest roi. two mutually exclusive categories.
I doubt the 1080ti has better resale than say a 1060. I think when gpu mining slows or dies out, hopefully the person had got ROI and is just looking to make a profit off the sale. Regardless, it seems like there is a lot of options but I'm looking for a rig that can perform and mine consistently for ayleast 6 months. With increasing difficulties I wonder if there 1060 can keep up. I'm also leaning towards a 6 card system. nothing beats a bang for the buck rig and i think that isnt possible with the 1080Ti's (they are power hungry and need lots more capital -depends on your budget and risk level. Obviously the larger the capital the greater the risk especially for someone starting out small (think worst case scenario like Crypto mining goes into dark ages - would you like to have a 8000$ debt or a 4000$ debt. And during that time that you resell which do you think ppl will be more hesitant to buy a) a used card for say 250$ or b) a used card for $800? I have used 1060's, 1070's and read about 1080Tis (dont own any yet). I would make a 1060 rig if I can get my hands on Samsung memory cards again and again. The 1060s are rock solid (they dont mess around and just keep on mining. My 1070s are more of a diva so you need to really decide carefully. Then theres the Pascal RX cards that mine ethash & cryptonight like no ones business but also divas to setup. I suggest starting out small and building up from there as opposed to jumping in the deep end right away. Just my 0.02$ I posted to hear your 0.02 cents so I appreciate it. I'm still between the 1070 and the 1070 ti, I've ruled out the 1080's and like you said would rather be out 3k instead of 4.6k or more. |

With high power cost maybe the 1070 ti would be a really good option for you. Being able to cut the power down to the cards to save on the power bill. 1060's also do really well undervolted. The cards run cooler which should help with longevity. I'm a big fan of the 1070 ti myself.
I see your thought process here and I'm thinking the same way what's the best computational per to Watts. But I also want the cards to be able to ROI in the estimated 190 days. I feel the 1070 and 1080 both to and normal edition will continue to mine effectively with increases and difficulty as they are newer cards. I'd be worried about the 1060s hitting ROI or still profitable after this time. So I guess is the question is what's the better hash to watts. The 1070 or the 2070ti. Price difference is that big right now between the two cards. But I am seeing the 1070 when clocked accordingly can perform the 1070ti, but at what wattage cost is the question. I still have some research to do! =] |

If you're interested in getting a really quick estimation of running costs and profits now, then you can visit https://whattomine.com/I don't fully recommend basing your future profits on this site as difficulties are changing and prices of coins fluctuate as well. Good luck! Thanks for the reply! I've been utilizing that site now for a few weeks it has given me some good insights. I'm thinking the 1070 will be a great beginner rig for me. Now just to source all the parts! |

I'm starting to see that. I've got my build pretty much planned out for the Mobo, cpu, psu, HDD, and ram. Just need to pull the trigger at this point. |

looks like your power costs are around .16 total. You need to add up the categories. You have different pricing above 250KW.
This is a little depressing, time to re-calculate profits. I'm at a rental property that currently has electric hot water otherwise I think my bill would be only the rig. Anyone able to comment if the 0.16 is still a reasonable figure it should I look into off-site running? It is better to think of no resale value. The cards break under intensive use.
This isn't an issue due to the fact that all GPUs have 3 year warranty. The real issue is resell value when 10,000,000 GPUs enter the 2nd hand/ebay/Craiglist market when GPU mining isn't profitable anymore. This will be a exciting day for gamers, and a sad day for miners. |

I've custom built three higher end gaming computers, rigs are definitely different but I'm excited to get started. I'll have to check this site out. I was hoping to source from New egg as I have a credit card from them that would give me 0% with no huge out of pocket costs. Electric https://imgur.com/a/kPOafAlso I'm no electrician and usually just pay my electric with no care or thought. But am I correct to say I'm paying 0.08644 kWh? |

Thank you everyone thus far for the replies, I certainly appreciate them. I'm hoping to start building sooner than later but it seems I may have MOBO, PSU, CPU, and ram before I get any cards (not for lack of funds, but supply). Then again it seems a lot are in this boat. You might be able to build a 6x AMD Rx 580 4GB rig for $2000 or a 6x Nvidia GTX 1070 rig for $3000. This would be based on USA sale prices... most other countries in the world will be more expensive. Based solely on the prices of altcoins today I would find the Rx 580 to be a quicker ROI, but the GTX 1070 is more versatile (which bodes well for the future). AMD also requires more fiddling with to get optimal performance, which may be a negative if you are new to mining... on the other hand a $2k rig is allot cheaper then a $3k rig to start out with.
I'm finding it more and more difficult to piece a build with all of the shortages and price gauging. I had found the h110 BTC+ at MSRP this morning and failed to pull the trigger fast enough and watched it turn from in stock to OOS in my cart! I've seen a lot of builds with 1060's; I think they are great. In regards to sustainability I'm wondering if 1080 Ti's are going to be the best route. I guess my choices are... (2) - 1080 Ti's (4-6) 1060's; 1070's; or 1070 ti's Anyone able to weigh in on wether these would be reasonable options in regards to sustainability aka future mining opportunities? It is better to think of no resale value. The cards break under intensive use.
I hear you there and I am definitely aware of the risks of no return. |

Hello Bitcointalk! After watching countless YouTube videos, hundreds of google searches and browsing the forums I'm getting closer and closer to purchasing my first mining rig. I'm leaning towards NVIDIA cards but could be swayed to AMD as I am still new. I'm currently mining with nicehash with a GTX970 and able to still make profits to keep the rig running. However I want to invest in a bigger standalone rig and venture into using claymore and other custom mining software. The two major things I am hoping to get out of my rig is: - Return on Investment
- Resale Value
I'm unsure what NVIDIA cards currently have the best ROI and it appears most agree that the 1080TI family is going to provide the best re-sale value. I'm really not crazy about making profits but want to get into this as a hobby and if profits come with that I am fine. If I lose money thats fine. Just looking for some advice from the community to get me started. I'd say my ceiling spending is about $3,000 USD; however I'd like to keep it around $2,000 USD. Thanks ahead of time for any responses! |

By no means do I want to hijack your thread, but I've had the similar question. I'm personally not looking to make huge profits and get rich quick but mining as a hobby and hitting ROI would be nice.
I've seen some speak about increase in difficulty in some common alt coins that could phase out AMD cards. I'm still doing a lot of research if it will be all AMD cards or just the lower end cards with low memory (i.e. 3 gig cards). This same logic could be true about NVIDIA cards as well that have 3 gigs.
I'm interested in seeing others responses but wanted to throw in another way to look at the AMD versus NVIDIA angle.
