Smart wifi switches are very nice. I can restart the rig remotely when it freezes. I monitor power consumption too.

Those thoughts are for home mining
Acording to my calculation i should get 40 cents per card per day ( profit , mening after electricity is paid ) to cover the loss of resale value over time. Now i get a dollar per card per day (profit) , I wouldn't start a new rig any less than that.

Pro's :
* If you buy the gear at a good price and sell at a good price when it is time to sell, there is profit to make
* It is a nice hobby, when you buy gear for a good deal it makes you happy. Also looking for gear, re/searching for cooling, ventilation ideas, keeping up to date with technology is nice.
* If crypto rally starts, you'd be ready to make enourmous profits

Con's :

* It takes time to run the rigs
* They could be stolen and you'd be left with less money than you had before, it is no guarantee that you can get your money from insurance becasue good luck explaining crypto currency mining to insurance inspector it's not typical home usage.
* Although unlikely ( unlikely if you use quality cables and gear )  there is risk of fire since a makeshift looking strange computer runs in your house 24/7
* They make a lot of noise and generate heat during summer , it effects quality of life in your house
* When it is time to sell your gear, you have to deal with a lot of idiots and kids and idiot kids
* You don't know what will happen in future, 8 months ago my rig didn't cover electricity and I shut it down
* Your competitors are not smart, Some of them operates with a loss so it's unfair competition.
Let me explain this: 8 months ago when mining is not profitable some people argued mining low difficulty coins and keep them then sell them later. This is not a good idea, because this is not mining, this is investing. Just mine the most profitable coin than buy the coin you think it's pricess will go up. Keeping the coins is risky , you can loose it all. I bought some steem coin from 0.70 cents, now steem is around 0.15 . That is a treamoundous loss.
-Some people (competitors) buys very expensive gear (RTX 2070, RTX2080ti and they will not cover the loss of resale value i they wont make a profit ( probably they don't need it ) but in the meantime they raise up difficulty and everybody will loose, only nvidia wins Smiley

Thank you very much, I am using nicehash and it worked nicely. Zil is a nice coin to hodl, now I can mine as usual and on the side acumulate zilliqa.

I have a flatmate, he likes to play LOL, we share the same router/internet. When I run the rig ( Nicehash ) his ping goes over 100 ( the game is not playeble ) . When I stop the rig, he can play. The issue is not about bandwith as I can watch youtube videos when he play without a problem. What can casue this and how can I solve?

Thanks in advance for the replies

Any plans for nicehash support?

For the app? It can be done. Is that something you want?

Yes

Sometimes you struggle with issues on your rig, try different things, overclocks page file and all that, eventually you see that you have a bad connection problem. I'd never ever use wifi if I have a chance of having wired connection.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining ETH is now no profit on: May 26, 2019, 10:04:32 AM
150 Mhs gets you roughly 3 USD per day, electricity cost = 0,1 USD/kwh , 0,75 ( 750 watt ) x 24 x 0,1 = 1,8 USD electricity  cost , 3-1,8= 1,2 USD profit. Is it sensible to build a mining rig with this conditions? Maybe with second hand parts, definetaly not with brand new equipment. Is it sensible to continiue mining with your existing rig? Yes

I'm currently using P-106 with micron ram in my mining rigs.

With every strap settings i used  , either  used with sintensity values or not  , my hash rates fluctuates between 8-10 mhs .And eventually my rigs always crashed .

In this caps : I'm using strap 1  value. MEM +300 clock +0 .Hashrate fluctuates .

Does anyone have any advice with this unstability situation  with micron ram P106 cards ?

I have the same problem, my p106's goes to zero first, then miner crashes, I tried version 14.2 (Cuda 8)the same, i tried giving strp intesity of 1 to exclude P106's , becasue I have 1070 ti's in the same rig, but nothing worked

Can we do this with tablets? Which android versions does this work?
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I Turned My Rigs Off... on: April 29, 2019, 09:05:41 AM
I see second hand adds about gpu's, sellers state that they truned their rigs down. I don't understand why because I have a rig with 4 1070ti and 1 1070's getting me 1 USD a day. I don't turn it down because 1 USD a day is better than 0 USD a day. My guess about the people turned their rigs down;

* They have really crappy psu's, their rig is in an office so their electricity costs are high
* They are rich and they don't care about 0.50 -1 USD a day

I do understand if people want to sell their gear, it's very reasonable. But I don't understand turning the existing rig down.

Thanks for the development, it will be good alternative for 1 rig owners, because monthly fee of 2-3 dollars is high. Does this have wi-fi support?
