Whats the most efficient miner currently? (If you say it depends on the CPU type, I have i7s on Mac cylinders)

I know there was a cpp miner released a while back - is that still around? Im currently using Dan's Java miner, wondering if I could do better.

For folks using Linux miner, what fork are you using? Does it support other cryptonight coins as well?

Thanks Chronn,

Removed the miners already. Yam is the one we want to promote to the users, We are using that one our self.

We notices as well, that we need to migrate the pool saftware to another server, this one doesn't seem to manage at all :-(

We will keep you posted on the migration, so it could be the pool goes offline for a while.

For know, the pool website is hard to access, the server can not handle the load.

Kind regards,

Olivier

Is Yam still the recommended miner for nvidia GPUs? I have both Linux/Win10, would prefer Linux though

Using the https://github.com/arionum/lightWalletCLI, I'm getting the following error when I execute ./lightArionumCLI.php:

Fatal error: Default value for parameters with a class type hint can only be NULL in ./arionum/lightWalletCLI/lightArionumCLI.php on line 248

Any help to getting it to run would be greatly appreciated - can't start mining till I get the wallet generated, and don't have a windows machine.

EDIT: Its due to a older version of php on my system - error goes away if php 7.2 is used!

Hi, is there any specific reason that you stick to PHP miner and wallet?
It is more than highly recommended to move to the java miner and the GUI wallet (if you have the proper environment to run on, it can run on Linux if you dont have a Win machine). Hash rate is optimized much more.

As a rule of thumb, you should trust only github links and compile yourself:

miner: https://github.com/ProgrammerDan/arionum-java
wallet: https://github.com/arionum/lightWalletGUI


I stuck to the PHP wallet as thats the only wallet that runs on Mac OS X. I use the https://github.com/ProgrammerDan/arionum-java miner on OS X, works fine so far.

I'm interested in this project - is it possible to get an estimate of current mining yield using 1070s / day? I just wanted to get some ball park numbers if thats okay from current miners!

How does SnowGem intend to distinguish itself from other privacy oriented cryptocurrencies, such as ZClassic (and its fork BitCoinPrivate) and Monero? Trying to understand the value added by Snowgem...

Plz don't ask this stupid question so frequently.

This is literally the first time I've posted on this thread. I've not read through the entirety of the thread, only the first and last few pages. If you or someone else have already detailed a reply to a similar query, I'd be obliged if you link to it.

If you dont have a good answer and would ask me to wait for the white paper, even that is acceptable.

But being this rude to someone interested in you project while at the same time running a signature campaign to attract new folks to your project is... at odds to say the least.

I may have struck a nerve unwittingly for no fault of mine - if, at a later point, you think you have a more informative answer, that'd be great.

I'm a new comer to the forum, and I'm trying to get one last bit of info before I can assemble my 8 GPU rig. I was hoping you could answer my query regarding a similar setup.

I'm planning a 8 GPU build, in which I've ordered the following components:

Here's a pic of the connections available in my PSU:

What I'm confused about is which slots do I connect the risers? I feel I have the following options:
1) Use a PCI-E splitter, so that each VGA slot is used by 1 GPU and its riser (got the idea from your aforementioned post)
2) Put each GPU in its own VGA slot, and its corresponding riser in a 6 pin slot in the same PSU (will have to use up a VGA slot for the third GPU)

Option 2 limits me to 6 GPUs in this rig, though my mobo is capable of 8 (z370-A). I'd obviously like to have a 8 GPU setup, but I don't want to use an option that is remotely unsafe. Am I being too paranoid about the whole thing (u can tell I read the Risers section in the wiki quite a few times!) ?

A cable w/ an 8 pin termination should be able to supply 150W according to the PCIE spec - if your GPU is drawing less than 150W, you should be able to split such a cable between the GPU and riser.  The better option would be to simply use an 8+6 split (Y) cable - 8 pin to the GPU, and 6 pin (w/ an extender if necessary) to power the riser.  That way you can be certain the cable is rated for that load (an 8 + 6 termination should supply 150W + 75W per PCIE spec,) assuming your cards draw less than 225W (which they absolutely should for mining.)  Since you only get two of those types of cables w/ your chosen PSU, you could use the 2 x 4 pin peripheral (a.k.a. molex) cables to power your other 2 risers.

A couple other notes:

1. The draw on an 8 pin termination of a PCIE cable is spec'd to 150W, but the cable likely can provide closer to 180W (3 hot pins @ 5a x 12v or 60W each,) while the supply is actually probably closer to 240W (4 hots x 60W,) so you're probably fine just splitting a single 8 pin terminated cable if GPU TDP is < 180W.  But if you want safest, the config above works (and saves you from buying additional splitters.)

2. The FUD around sata power is a little overblown.  While a sata power connector easily provides the 75W max allowed for a PCIE x16 connector, the main concern is that the PCIE spec allows for 5.5a over the 12v rail (66W) on the MB connnector, while a sata power cable only provides 3 12v pins @ 1.5a each, or 12v @ 4.5a (54W) total.  However, most modern, optimally tuned GPUs run around 75-150W for mining, so a single 8 pin PCIE power cable likely provides all the 12v power the card needs, w/ the MB connector/riser providing the 5v, and minimal (if any) 12v.  Of course, this split is up to the GPU manufacturers, and they *could* technically pull all available (66W) 12v power from the MB bus before utilizing the PCIE power cable (or split as evenly as possible across the 2 sources,) but that is not how I've seen power delivery implemented on any recent card I've used.  My cards all run in the 100-150W range, and the ones using risers powered by sata cables are doing just fine.

3. Ver 006C is pretty old for the risers.  I would recommend at least ver 008s, like these: https://www.amazon.com/EXPLOMOS-Graphics-Extension-Ethereum-Capacitors/dp/B074Z754LT



Thanks a lot for the detailed reply - I learned quite a bit from it, and have ordered the 008 risers as per your recommendation!

Two follow-up queries:

  • You mentioned I could use 2 x 4 peripheral cables (molex) to power the other two risers (ones which aren't connected using risers). Did you mean that I use each of the 8 pin CPU ports in my PSU (marked as CPU1 and CPU2) for 2 molex cables (referring to the back of my PSU whose pic I've linked before)? If not, I don't see any more ports that are capable of handling the 4 pin Molex's? 
  • I'm trying to get identical power inputs for each of my GPUs - so, I'm considering buying 2 more Y splitters ( 8 + 6 split(Y) to 8 pin) so that each of my 4 GPUS and its corresponding risers are powered using the Y cables. Is there anything wrong with that idea, other than the fact I'll have to order extra splitters? Speaking of which, I should be able to purchase EVGA splitters from the manufacturer's website, right, or would any amazon Y splitter would do?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm going to order 8 or so risers (will only use 6 GPU's but wanted two extra spares just in case) but I'm not quite sure what to pick. I've also got a question for you experienced miners regarding PSU cables for the risers. So here goes.

Should I order risers with 6-pin connectors? If so, can I power 1 GPU and 1 riser with the same cable from the PSU? If not, then the cables on the PSU won't be enough.

Or should I order risers with molex connectors? If so, can I power two risers with one cable from the PSU? Also, the EVGA G2 1300 that I've purchased only have two cables with molex, would it be possible to take another one from my EVGA G2 750 that I'm not using? I'm assuming it's the same cables. Can I plug the third molex cable (on the PSU side) into one of the ones that are supposed to be for the sata cables (there are only two peripheral slots on the PSU)?

Thank you!


most PSU these days have limited molex connector, and have a tons of sata connector
and most sata cable will be burned out to flame on RX GPU, so there are no place for sata in mining rig to be safe
since pcie 6-pin cables are limited, and even more limited molex, it still better to use pcie 6 pin cables since their spec is designed to deliver up to 150w (molex is only 50w, sata is only 35w)

so the solution is just use PCIE 6-pin splitter, one end for riser, and another one for gpu, so each gpu+riser only use one cable from PSU
