Looks like interest in ROI is increasing. Quite a bit of volume on Bitex today. People need to see the unheard of opportunity to get 593% return on a one year deposit.

I've never seen anything like it!

BitexLive is the only one so far, but more will come. Caution is being exercised in that regard due to catastrophic failures in the past with exchanges.

Wondering if there's an active Discord channel. I've found several links, but invites are all invalid.

Wish I could answer that. I'm running DL580's with quad chips, and I have to start 16-20 instances by hand. I'm running Linux, so I'm a little dumb on how to write a script to start them all at once. I've tried several ways I found online, but none of them work. I think I need to put the miners in my home directory, just haven't done it yet.

Anybody know of a step by step guide for installing XMRigCC in Ubuntu 18.04? Finally getting time to plop some GPU's in these things, but don't know enough about Linux to get this miner going. I'm basically stuck from the gitgo.

I'll be running Pro Duo 8gb, RX580's, and Vega 64's. Same cards per rig to at least simplify that part of it.

Discovered a new coin that at least SOME of you are aware of, and I need to consolidate stuff for efficiency. 

Instead of posting on Discord what you did here you should just pay a visit and research a bit. Go back to the inception in the threads. I think you may change your mind. I did that and did change my mind. I'm a big time skeptic of ANY coin today. Research erased that.

Just a suggestion.

ROICoin is relatively new. I just discovered it myself a few weeks ago. It is listed on a few small exchanges, but the problem is no one is currently trading. Everybody is depositing due to the huge returns. The original deposits are maturing in the next few months, so consensus is that the market will start opening up as miners start selling to recoup costs. The devs are also pursuing listings. There has been some bad luck with exchanges in the past, so they're being cautious on choice of new ones.

As for power used on these beasts, I'm currently paying that out of my pocket. Of all the coins I've researched and mined this one stands way out above the rest for me. I see a tremendous opportunity. I also believe this thing will take off and become a top coin in the future. I might add that the target audience are the GPU miners with their CPU's not doing much to contribute to their endeavors. Not many miners are dedicated to just mining ROI as I am.

The thing to do would be to research ROI. I have, and I'm impressed! And do the math on deposits.....

Just an update. Switched out the I/O board ($30 on eBay) on the DL580 that wouldn't boot with E7's and am now up and running. Using standard mem cartridges too, which is great!

I've also tested ROI coin with several memory configurations and the best hash is definitely achieved using all eight cartridges, using two 4gb mem sticks per. Haven't tried one yet, but really don't see a need to either. Setting huge_pages to 1024 is also optimal. Plus I've figured out how to achieve the same hashes with 8837's as with 4870's. A little tweaking on settings and all is well! These processors are pretty amazing.

You guys really should check out ROI coin. If you deposit coins for a one year period the returns are astronomical. It's a relatively unknown coin right now, so difficulty is very low. It also equates to the coin not being very high in value, but with the team of devs behind it and some time I'm totally confident this will change. And even if it doesn't increase in value after three years of rolling everything into deposits, which is unlikely as more people get on board, the returns are absolutely amazing!

Unfortunately, I do believe the 4870's are better performers with ROI. The most I can get out of the 8837's is 1200 h/s. That's with all eight mem carts and four dimms per in hemisphere mode. With the 4870's I was getting 1300 h/s with just two dimms per cart.

Kind of a bummer, actually.

EDIT: I'm running 32 threads per core and 128gb HugePages mem and am now getting almost 1300 h/s. Kinda' cool to be running that many threads.

2nd EDIT: Learning a lot about these things. E7 processors WILL NOT work on a system board that's not Revision OB or later. The one in my X7560 rig is OA. Dead in the water on that I guess. Found a complete chassis cheap and I made an even cheaper offer. Maybe they'll take it.....

From the testing I've done ROIcoin does indeed use memory. I'll test again, but it appears that I get way more hash with all eight cartridges with mem installed in each. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Got the BIOS flashed on the first rig. 8837's will be here tomorrow and I'll take 'em for a spin.

Can I flash the X7560 rig with this BIOS and run E7 series CPU's if I replace the mem cartridges with E7 ones? I've never figured out what the actual difference is between a "standard" DL580 and a E7 series.

I REALLY appreciate your help! I love these machines, but have always been limited on what I can do with 'em. Lack of knowledge and HP's insistence on a license hasn't helped any...

Excellent info here!

Except how to flash the BIOS. I installed FreeDOS on USB, unzipped the BIOS file and loaded the RomPaqUSB file on it. Not sure what to do from there or if that's even right.

I'm a noob at flashing the BIOS on these things. Didn't realize I could even do it without giving HP rights to my wife, two of three kids, dog, and truck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have ten 8837's on the way. 

Is anybody running ROI on a DL-580 G7? I have three, two with E7-4870's and one with X7560's. The E7 boxes are up and running Hodlminer v1.4.1 with no issues, but I can't get the X7560 box to configure properly. Something to due with the CPU's, but not sure what. Get an aeskeygenassist error on making the miner. Running Ubunto 18.04. Thought maybe one of you guys might have a solution.

This coin has so much potential that nobody is trading. I'm hodling myself. But as a previous post stated, there are deposits maturing soon and when that happens I think the market will open up a bit more. Maybe a lot more.

Tried to install this on a DL-580 G7 server with quad E7-4870's to see what it will do. Running Mint 19. Can't get the wallet to configure. "./configure" command gives error. Not real sharp on Linux, so was wondering if somebody might guide me in getting this installed and up and running.

I'm a GPU miner, but have two of these laying around and thought I might put them to use. I like the concept of this coin.

Thanks!

Has anyone mined this on a server? I have two DL-580 G7's with quad E7-4870's in each (160 cores total). Just wondering if it would be worthwhile....

I picked up on Masari a week ago. Sounds like a great project! I'm mining with four Vega 64's through cryptoknight.cc and saw the solo mining pool above. Can't see any advantage in running solo unless there's something I'm missing. Plus there's a 2% pool fee.

Any pointers or advice on solo mining vs pool?

Would you mind posting a pic showing how you've set these up? I'm assuming you've mounted a mining case on top of the chassis. I've got one PCIe expansion card that I can use. The other system doesn't have one, but if I can set the first one up it shouldn't be a big deal to find another board.

And do you think Linux Mint would work for an O/S?

The 750's are definitely cheap enough, but I'm also wondering about using 770's and 950's, of which I have several of sitting here collecting dust. Power usage on the 770's may be way out of line though.

Just found this thread. I've got two DL580 G7's with E7-4870's. I'm currently mining with 30 GPU's on standard mobo's. Never could get GPU's to work in these. Is it still profitable to set these up and eliminate the "small" rigs? I am currently running ZEC, but would switch out to something else if profitability is there. Would definitely want to swap CPU's to 8837's.
