My set of 008s risers showed up yesterday and I'm happy with them. They have a sata, 6 pin and molex connector options with the 'on' LED from version 7. No duds yet but I only have 2 of the 6 installed. You might have clearance issues with the mobo adapters though, for some reason the USB comes out the side instead of the top. Not sure about power consumption yet... just got the rig online about 1 in the morning. x.x https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4RE6KD8226 |

So long story short, I had some hardware issues this weekend and had to switch a rig from Hive OS to Win7 with nicehash. Hive OS uses very little CPU power but Nicehash is starting off about 6% then jumping to 80% after about 10 minutes with CPU mining turned off. Odd part is the second I move the mouse the CPU usage drops back down to 6%. I'm using a Core i5 2400. Any thoughts?

If your worried, I'd suggest doing some research into stock trading and patterns. When I started mining I had no clue about those things... and I still don't really, but it eases some stress when you know what patterns to look for and it kind of gives you a baseline to know when to panic.

why not just install command line linux and enable ssh? Seems like it would alleviate all of your issues,
^ this is how I roll. I use a seriously outdated laptop to SSH into all my mining gear from anywhere in the house.  |

Hello,
I have 2 old working hashra scrypt asics 14MH each. Is it profitable to mine any scrypt altcoin with such hashpower?
Thx
up until a month ago I was mining pink coin with 2 overclocked gridseed orbs @ about 900kh and earned around .06 USD a day... I sold them to buy a GPU. lol |

Shopping around for 1060's and 1070's for my new rig and I'm coming across cards labeled with zeros... like "GTX 1060 0" and I can't find any information on what that zero means. Sorry if this is a dumb@ss question but with the prices of cards being what they are, I wanna make sure of what I'm buying.  |

I own a .380, a lever action 30-30 and a bolt action .17hmr. The pistol is for defense and the rifles are for range shooting. That being said... I grew up around guns and was taught how to properly use and maintain them. I've see a lot of grown men buy their first gun and act completely reckless with it or hurt themselves or some one else because they didn't properly maintain it. I encourage gun ownership for people who can take it seriously... they are not toys or a fashion statement.

Useless to mine with but not useless for mining.  I use an old laptop to SSH into my miners as well as keep my wallets. Coins that can be staked could be done through your wallets to generate some $$$ but from my experience even if the laptop can mine decently, they can't dissipate the heat fast enough and will burn out quick. |

So I have a really nice plastic shelf I could be building my rigs into but I'm worried about static discharge. I would assume if the psu is making contact then the shelf would be grounded but wtf do I know about static electricity... am I being paranoid?
Yeah kinda..lol  Don't worry much about PSU grounding, most of the PSU has already a grounding from the power cable wall, some peepz are worried with platic racks due to fire hazards, however its your choice if you would ask me, I do prefer plastic over metal racks as I am much worried on short circuits What I meant about the psu grounding through contact is in a conventional computer the case, as well as the mobo, are grounded through contact with the psu but I don't know if that would be the same affect with a plastic shelf. |

At this exact moment, I'd say it's a bad time to get into it. The difficulty really doesn't matter because there are always new alt coins to mine but the hardware is a different story. I've been piecing together a new rig and the prices of GPU's I've been looking at have jump $30-40 IN A WEEK, and that's if you can even find them in stock. On top of that newegg is limiting the number of GPU's you can order to one (at least on the gigabyte 10 series I just ordered). Everything may change tomorrow but for today you better expect some headaches when buying the hardware.

The XU4 uses the Mali T628, openCL drivers supported by the manufacturer... makes it alot easier. The tinkerboard is another one that is known to work. |

Any luck?
nope...got side tracked with another build  |

I'm currently running cpu multi miner on RaspberryPi 3 with raspbain lite. Each card will run around 25 hashes per second using the ARM possessor only. This requires alot of code optimization but it can be done. Unfortunately the RaspberryPi GPU lacks support for miners to develop software for, however you can mine on the Mali450 GPU found on the OrangePi and Tinkerboard. At this point all Mali GPU miners are modified from existing software with no official support. I just ordered my first OrangePi so I can't speak from personal experience but I've been told you can get up to 50 hashes from the gpu.... add the 25 from the ARM processor and that's not a bad result from $17-$35 hardware that consumes about 3 watts.
But how those 75 hashes compare to 30 MEGAhashes from RX570? Monero, therefore more like 500ish hash on the RX as I recall (definitely under 1000). You think so? So where those 75H/s come from, since the result for the 8xARM Cortex-A53 on a playstore monero mining app @ 7 threads is ~6-8 H/s First off, I said the 75 came from the CPU and GPU working together, the CPU on it's own makes 24-26. That's 4 cores, not 8, at 6-8 hashes per core... would you like a calculator? Now since none of your opinions have anything to do with the OPs question, why don't you go pat yourself on the back for copying the same GPU rig every other miner on the planet has built and let the rest of us work. Thanks. |

Please see this: http://cluster.bitscope.com/I would make a cluster with these boards and put it in a windy place with FREE and GREEN energy. I have the NVIDIA card 750 ti, already in my computer and I know what you all want to mean. But it is unbelieveable that no coders tryed to create a miner for the Mali450 processors and Cortex processors. Dude this is like trying to get electricity on that island from many many smaller car engines on petrol instead of those huge diesel ones. You can and it could be done, but there is no point in it. There is a point, if you have a good strategy  |

Hi acidburn thanks for reply! Please dont'go away. I would like to take advantage from mali450. How did you configure this gpu? I also use OrangePies lilliput machines. Expecially OrangePi Zero plus. It has a H5 64bit quadcore cpu with exacore Mali450 gpu. It is 4cm x 4cm and it uses 2watt of power. It mines with cpu multi miner at 10 solutions the Monero coin. Please can we unify our works? I would like to create a multicore cluster with that 13 euros littlest machine! Please wait i am writing from a very remote area with a little phone, sorry. During the next days i will back from holidays and i would like to write you.
For the other friends: yes i have a nvidia high power card but it is not the thread where talk to, because i would like to take the all hashing power from this low powered cpu in a sunny and windy very little island: it is a stone in the sea where no Cuda cards will be installed ON!
Aniway thanks for your precious help!
Like I said, I'm still waiting for the OrangePi's to show up so I haven't done any development on this board yet personally. As of right now my whole farm is RaspberryPi's which uses a different GPU. However a good starting point for you is to check out the NovaSpirits page on Tinkerboard GPU mining as this is the same GPU found on the OrangePi's. https://www.novaspirit.com/2017/12/21/gpu-mining-on-tinkerboard/ I'll also be writing up an instruction later today for RaspberryPi CPU mining. |

Sorry it is hard to find an arm post here. I would know how to force the making (or compiling) the code for ARM devices using the follow file: scrypt-arm.S. It is in the folder but there is a note in the readme file that suggests to use it for ARM devices. NEON FLAG is suggested too. But, please, help me to write the correct command line to make (compile) the miner. I use the ARMBIAN distro there.
I'll be upgrading my pi farm to this version over the weekend, I'll let you know. |

Sites like whattomine look at difficulty, block reward and coin value. When a site like that tells everyone [insert coin here] is the most profitable, everyone switches to that coin which jacks up the difficulty and makes the coin no longer profitable. It's a paradox.

As already noted you should use a 3rd party miner otherwise you'll end up with a suspiciously low hash rate. Also be aware that they don't understand the concept of 'confirmed total'... even after the reward is confirmed by the block chain the site still holds your coins as unconfirmed until you reach a certain threshold which you won't find posted on their site anywhere. Not a big deal if you have a high end mining rig but if you are a hobby miner you may never see a payout. Sketchy business practice if you ask me. I e-mailed them and got this response:
"There is a certain confirmation threshold specific for every currency upon reaching which your balance gets ready to be confirmed.
Here are the thresholds for the most popular currencies:
BCN - 20
XMR - 0.005
FCN - 1
QCN - 1
MCN - 1
XDN - 1
AEON - 0.005
DSH - 0.1
INF8 - 10
ETH/ETC - 0.000001
BTG - 0.001
ZEC - 0.001"
