PiMP Mining Magazine ? So you stay in the Green ? September 2018

Join us for fun as well as profits!
We appreciate you being a part of the PiMP Project and for reading our newsletter. We want to hear from you, so jump in the PiMP discord at discord.me/pimp and tell us what you want us to be working on. Also, check out our #culture-food-fun and get to know your fellow miners and have some fun.

Strategies for Staying Profitable
The PiMP Community remains flexible and has all the tools and advice and help that miners need to stay profitable in any market. Come chat with us!

AMDs for cheap!
I just grab a 570 8gb same brand for ?170 with 20 month warranty, and work out at 80 watts it cost me ?6 Per gpu for electricity per month, whereas 1080 costs at 160 watts per card ?12 per month so 50% saving. What an eye opener for sure  ~ Louis, PiMP Support Team

Time for Fine Tuning!
Running MSI Armor GTX 1070 now and getting about 30 MH/s ETH: 0.30MH/Joule @ 100 watts with gputool settings at nvc 175 nvm 800. I must squeeze out less tdp cause now im running in reds? I hate dutch electro costs? ~ Twizted, PiMP Beta Team

Recycle that Heat!
As winter approaches, profits can come back by recycling your rig heat to warm your home or shop. Last year, melt was able to use free rig heat all winter long and never burned any fuel! You can run your furnace on ?Fan only? and send the heat from the rigs to the heater?s return.

Crypto Tax Tips
If you are planning on declaring your mining income, the basic rule applies: Keep good records. If you have good records, then you can always explain where you got your numbers, and that almost always satisfies the tax officials.

Scan and save all hardware receipts and invoices for expenses such as electrician and HVAC subcontractors if you plan to expense any of this.

Miner.farm 3 Roadmap Report

Miner.farm 3 development is right on time. We?ve been incorporating tons of new features while fixing up all the existing code. Most notable is the multi-user capability. You will be able to assign Farm Managers so you can give management access to your partners or staff to help manage your entire farm. Private farms can also share with select persons having read only access.
Your voice and feature requests have been heard. We now will have a Dark Mode, for easier monitoring on the eyes, as well as some business features such as dynamic PDF invoices, and group control of your rigs.

PiMP OS Roadmap Report

Image 2.8.3 beta was a success, and PiMP 2.8.4 is expected to be released by early October. This is a complete revamp and brings us to the next generation of Ubuntu, which sets the foundation for the PiMP 3.0 platform.
New miners and coins: In just a few short months, we have added over 8 new miners (and cleaned up a few outdated ones) as well as added over 150 new coins, algorithms, and examples to PiMP. We regularly watch sites like whattomine, and participate in hundreds of mining community discords and forums to stay on top of the hottest mining coins, so we can make it easy for you to mine them.
Notable new coin algorithms that are hot right now: ProgPoW, several Cryptonight variants, and several Equihash variants.

Support Team Shout Outs

Tips, Tricks, & Troubleshooting:  Introducing DocDrydenn?s New Column

Beginning this month, DocDrydenn, one of the newest PiMP OS Support Team members, will write a regular column for the PiMP OS Monthly Newsletter, detailing the ups and downs of his relationship with the number one cryptomining operating system ? PiMP OS. Be sure to check out ?Doc?s Cryptomining Triage? in each PiMP OS Newsletter!

Doc?s Cryptomining Triage

Hello fellow PiMPs!  For those who frequent the PiMP Discord channel or the PiMP OS forum have probably already met me, but for those who haven?t, let me introduce myself: You all know me as DocDrydenn, but don?t let that name fool you ? I?m no Doctor, ?but I did play one in Battlefield 4? <crickets?> Anyway, everyone just calls me Doc.
I just retired from 20 years of enlisted active duty service in the US Navy. I was an Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) First Class Petty Officer (E-6). As an AT, my base training is electronics, but don?t let the ?Aviation? part fool you? Trust me, electrons flow exactly the same here on the ground as they do in the air. I?ve worked on all sorts of electronics ranging from simple power supplies all the way up to extremely complex weapon RADAR systems. I served on-board three US Naval ships, USS Saipan LHA-2 (Amphibious Assault Ship), USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 (Nuclear Aircraft Carrier), and the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 (also a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier). I have worked on numerous aircraft, from helicopters to fighter jets.
Back in 2011, I got hooked on Distributed Computing, specifically SETI@Home. I saved up some money and built a 10 GPU rig to help search for E.T. It was fun for a while, but I wanted to try something else. Sometime in January of 2018, I decided I would give cryptomining a try. I reconfigured my SETI@Home machine into a cryptomining rig and have loved every part of it.
The best part of PiMP OS (besides how awesome it is) is the community that comes with it. Part of being in a community is helping others, so when fellow PiMP?s need help, I jump at the chance to get them back up and running. As I always say, PiMP?s helping PiMP?s.

My vision for ?Doc?s Cryptomining Triage? is to share with you my collection of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting methods that I?ve found to be most useful.
To start this column out right, let?s cover a very common issue a lot of PiMP?s might come across: PiMP OS keys not validating.
99.8% of the time, this is a very quick and easy fix. After flashing the PiMP OS image to your SSD, make sure you eject/unmount the drive (or power down the host machine) before disconnecting it. If you find yourself in this situation, you?ll need to re-flash the PiMP OS image to your drive and follow the eject/unmount process. That?s it. Simple fix.
Okay, maybe not the most exciting, but this column is already long enough. I promise a much more indepth and helpful Cryptomining Triage post in the next PiMP OS newsletter. Until then, feel free to jump into the PiMP Discord channel and hit me up. You PiMPs stay PiMPy!

The Future of PiMP: To 3.0 and Beyond!
MARCH UPDATE

The PiMP platform is evolving quickly along with the changes to the AMD drivers and their relationship with the Linux kernel. Here's what to expect under the hood over the next few months:

• PiMP 2.5.1 releases in April using CUDA 9.1 and the PiMP 4.15 Cheesesteak kernel.
• PiMP 2.6 is in the works for June, and will be based on Linux 4.16.

     Keeping on the latest technology means being the first to support new GPUs, coins, and miners, as well as squeezing every last hash from your cards.
     In addition to this amazing kernel work by the PiMP developer family in moving toward PiMP 3.0 generation, there are some headline features to be announced in the coming months.
    PiMP 3.0 is going to give you much more control over miner versions and PiMP packages using the apt package system. For instance, you will be able to choose among versions of a miner and pick the one that works great for you. And the ability to provide more updates via pimpup instead of requiring a reimage, this is something that everyone loves.
 
Support Team Shout Outs
THIS ONE GOES OUT TO OUR FAVORITE AI
This month we wanted to focus on our favorite PiMP command tool: helpme
     We've tapped our shiny red rigs together three times and the PiMP team is excited to announce that after consulting the man behind the curtain, helpme is getting a brain!
     Getting smarter, faster, and easier, the next generation of helpme is going to look at the logs and tell you if it sees any problems.  This will help you keep your rigs up and running smooth. And less troubleshooting time is more profit for you.

Miner Highlights
FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR MINE ON OUR FORUM
With future changes coming to your favorite coins, you'll need the functionality of a miner that can switch to other coins. Let PiMP come to your rescue because we have lots of examples for how to quickly adjust to changes in the new market with new miners and regular updates. Since we are by miners, for miners, we fulfill as many feature requests as we can. Check out the posts in the product news section on the forum for the latest changelogs, release notes, and coin announcements! This month we added updates for claymore dual, bminer, dstm, ethminer, and over 12 new coins! Don't want to wait for releases? Go to getpimp.org/beta to sign up for the Beta team.

Website Updates
SPRING CLEANING PiMP STYLE
    We are underway renovating our entire web presence, and integrating all things PiMP and Miner.Farm into one site, built from scratch using up to date tools.
    This means that using PiMP and Miner.Farm will be easier than ever; all your account information will be in one place for both PiMP OS purchases and Miner.Farm subscriptions, and you will be able to manage them from one place. With this comes a much improved interface, with far more flexible tools to manage your rigs and farm.
     Phase One will give you a unified account; all your purchases and subscriptions in one place for both PiMP OS and Miner.Farm. We want to make sure this essential piece is working perfectly with payment providers and our internal accounting so the rollout is not in the immediate future, but it is first on the list for release, and we will be certain to let you know as the day approaches!

Beta Team Business Tips
HAND HOLDING LIKE SOME TEENAGE SWEETHEARTS
One of the most useful features is our `pimpup --auto`. You can set up auto resets of the rig on a regular rotation (we recommend weekly).
Other things you can do:

* reboot the box after it's done pimp'ing up with `pimpup`
* `pimp --stop 1 && pimpup --auto && pimp --start 1` can be used to update pimp and the current miner(s) in use (make sure to stop 2,3,4 if you are using those, as well.)
* Remember: pimpup only updates the software during the "Updating PiMP Software" part. Then it brings you to a menu to update your miner. After you've updated your software, don't forget to update your miner!

JANUARY UPDATE: 2.4.2: More Stability, Smaller Image
PiMP-2.4.2-all and other updates were released this month to roll up fixes for stability, especially for pimps that were having trouble imaging or verifying their keys. Discord and other help resources now load right on the GUI desktop for our new miners to have easy access to the help they need.

By popular request, we also turned on previous released versions for all customers to download to help those working with older or more stubborn equipment. Check your getpimp.org "My Downloads" section for all the links.

We are continuously adding support for more miners, coins, algorithms and confs, so keep your eye on pimpup, Discord, and the forum, and let us know what you need and we will do our best!

Nvidia and AMD combo rigs! Custom kernels and drivers! And more! Start unwrapping!!!

PIMP-2.4.1-ALL: RELEASED 20171216:

This release Added NVIDIA/AMD Combination rigs support! (Nvidias before AMDs!!)
Yes, This is the best image for ALL AMD & NVIDIA & Mix-and-match GPUs! (Except some people with AMD R 7000/200/300 series may still get better hashrates with the old 1.9 fglrx distribution.)

Other Big Features in PiMP OS 2.4:
BIG PLATFORM UPDATES
 * Added PolarisBiosEditor Visual Video BIOS editor for AMD GPUs to local GUI/RDP desktop. Save, Edit, Replace AMD BIOS from a GUI or the console.
 * Custom PiMP kernels and drivers for extra mining stability and performance.
 * Made key validation easier to understand and what may be causing a key problem.
 * Updated firefox homepage and shortcuts in GUI for easier support.
 * Added atitool for more amd tweaking ability.

Major infrastructure overhaul!
We continue to build the new platform and migrate to more powerful servers and codebases every day. The community continues to grow and we are experiencing the crypto boom like never before. Over 4,000 hits a day on the forum alone! And that means lots of people helping each other make more money with mining.

Support Team Shout Outs:
We would like to welcome a bunch of new beta team members as well as some veterans such as ldemorgan4 and Zamasu that have been helping other pimps this month! The community is our main focus and we appreciate all those who make it the best place to swap ideas and have fun mining!

Forum Highlights:
Category: Unsolved (https://forum.getpimp.org/unsolved) There is a new "Unsolved" button right at the top so you can see questions that were asked and still needing some help, or ongoing concerns and investigations! Any information can help, and you might see your question there too, so you will want to check this often.

Also there are brand new 1080p video guides for both New pimps getting started, and helpme / troubleshooting, check those videos out on the forum: Getting Started -> Quickstart topic, and the Troubleshooting -> How to troubleshoot your rig topic.

NEW! Beta Team Business Tips:
Autoswitching is something that a lot of new miners ask for. The pro miners know that this seems great but it is not. The pros want you to know that the goal is to keep as many rigs mining as much as possible. Any automatic switching or changing when you manage many rigs causes loss of profit due to downtime. They say: Calculate your profit based on the numbers and don't forget to factor labor costs, payout schedules, etc. in when you are making decisions about your farm.

UPCOMING CONTESTS….
Post your rig in the Rig Showcase on the forum with photos, settings, and hashrates. We will be giving out prizes for some new categories in the coming months!

For more great information about mining, come join us in the PiMP Discord: https://discord.gg/rgRbAhFz!!

Hey @VaidasJ, thanks for reaching out! PiMP supports up to 20 GPUs in the software. In terms of what the hardware and linux support, that's something else. I'm not particularly sure about that specific board, but if you want to join us over in our Discord server, we'd be happy to help you out there! https://discord.gg/rgRbAhF
