1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: r9 280x eth mining on: August 12, 2019, 02:13:47 PM
Guys anyone knows how to set the DPM on HiveOS for r9 290/390 GPUs? I have overclocked the cards from bios but the OS doesn't pick the highest GPU frequency. I tried with the wolfamdctrl command but it says: Specified core state does not exist. Is it ok to modify again the bios with the same frequency on all states and the same voltage to bypass the bug from the HiveOS? or the card will get damaged?


If the Hawaii is similiar to the Tahiti's then the reason why you aren't getting the highest GPU frequency is because the DPM states need to go from the lowest to highest in frequency. They need to be in order like 300Mhz,500Mhz,800Mhz, 947Mhz, 1000Mhz, 1050Mhz, etc. You can't do something like 300Mhz, 500Mhz, 800Mhz, 1000Mhz, 1050Mhz, 947Mhz, because you will run into issues that way.

What software are you using to modify your BIOS?

I remember with the Hawaii GPUs, I didn't have issues with the clockrates but I had issues with the fan speeds. I could never get them to automatically set but had to manually set the fan speeds because modifying the bios didn't do anything.
HiveOS won't spin up the fans on my Hawaii cards, but SMOS is working with it, so I very much suggest SMOS over HiveOS for GCN1 and GCN2 cards. I personally used Hawaii Bios Editor to change clocks/volts/fan curve on my 290s, and also a hex editor to change memory straps a little, but I changed when they change over rather than copying lower tier up (I was doing it for benchmarking purposes with firestrike, not mining.). I use VBE7, anorak's tools, and a hex editor for my 7850, I believe it works on the GCN1 refreshes too, I'd have to grab a vbios off of techpowerup to check if it handles it right.
edit: also to change DPM on a per-card basis on SMOS, you need to use ssh and unless you want to su to root, make a .sh file containing something like "echo "7" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_dpm_sclk " that will set a DPM level of 7 to the second card in the system,as the first card is card0. needs to be a .sh file run with sudo because the ">" happens to break sudo, applying to echo but not opening of the "file" so it can't write to it, while making it a .sh file to run has sudo apply to everything in it. I currently don't have a refresh of the GCN1 cards to test how their powerplay settings are in vbios. my 7850 doesn't seem to really have a full DPM profile in the vbios and I can only set maximums, which it runs at by default so I don't know how 270(x) or 280(x)s would behave in that regard. Also, sorry if I ramble a bit too much.

When you change the memory stripe, did you actually see the performance increase? I changed memory frequency from 1125 to 1250MHz, do not see any hash rate increase.

Would be nice.  But, I doubt it.

Russian government is increasing the gold reserve. But it has no plan to increase bitcoin now.

I tried with ETH Enlargment pill with Phoenix miner - it doesn't work. On x16r it doesn't work as well. But it works perfectly with Claymore miner while Ether mining.

And I'm using Ethminer (0.17 rc2) because I don't want to support Claymore, I didn't like his attitude in some of his posts and he has given up on new updates, at least for public usage.
Ethminer hashes at 57 MH/s, that's the pool's side average.

Do you think Ethminer faster than Phoenix miner?

ETH in the price of $ 80 seems a moment the best for investors can buy and keep the profits to the best price Besides potentials ethereum will be back to the best position so I think this is an opportunity to buy ethereum

In the long term, the price of ETH now is very attractive.

Guys, until you put the defense against attack 51, the price will continue to fall, rent power from Nicehash to free remained they have no more than 50% 

The price of ETC is about 4% of ETH. Do you think it is easy to rent 4-6% of ETH hash and attack it?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Good timing to buy altcoins? on: November 13, 2018, 02:00:44 PM
what do you think about the trading bots? because they can do it automatically.. please advise me what's better: trade w bots or trade manually?

I trade manually. I have more control with the manual setting.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.6.8 - V8 & algo switching on: October 29, 2018, 10:10:26 AM
Hi guys. Use srb 1_6_9 on my 7970 and have a less hashrate compared to 1_6_8. The problem is that the value of "fragments"  does not change, it is always 4. Heres my config.txt:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv8",
"intensity" : 57,
"worksize" : 16,
"double_threads" : false,
"fragments" : 8
}


Where is my mistake? Thank you.

What is your hash rate for the 7970? What is the clock speed?

What is the setting of R9 290/390 for the V8?
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is it still profitable to mine on AMD TR1950x? on: October 06, 2018, 01:45:12 PM
Thanks for answer.
And as I said it for rendering so it's not my cost. I have rx580 somewhere in my mess, but I will buy Vega 64 if worth because I will use it to 3d work too.
Could you please tell me which Vega will be the best one? Or it doesn't matter with one I will choose?

I think Vega is much better for Monero mining.

The hash rate is still higher than in early April. So it could go down further.

This works like a charm, except on my Asus strix 1080ti cards.
It seems to pull down the core clock as soon as I start the pill.

Same on zotac mini 1080ti. If i downclock memory from +600 to +200, core clock goes up significantly.

and what is the hashrate? I got 36/38 on mine!
On zotac mini i get around 48 mh/s with tdp 63, core 200 and mem 300. If i clock memory higher, the core frequency drops to about 1100 mh/s and the hashrate goes down to 42-43. I also have evga sc2 and palit gamerock prem with no such issues. They are steady on 51-53 mh/s with tdp 63, core +100, mem +600.
As for me it's useless to increase core for ETH.

I have similar results.  I use core -100, mem +650
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Sia - Decentralized Storage on: August 15, 2018, 01:05:02 PM
Ive been a Sia supporter since it was on the exchanges at 6sats..
I really think people like taek are trying to do the very best for this space. I don't know where or why the obelisk miners came into the scene, I see the justification is that they will help strengthen the network. this is why I decided to buy 2, and participate. But with all the time, VC funding and effort going into Sia. I think the best choices will be made in the end. I just hope not at the influence of their VC funders wanting a quick exit strategy.

So you think the price will rise again?
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: August 01, 2018, 11:09:25 AM
Now the cost of Ethereum is quite low, and if you want to invest now is the time to do so .

It seems a good advice. Most good coin prices are low now.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: July 24, 2018, 12:24:23 AM
It can really help you earn tons of profit in very few years. It is gaining more and more popularity everyday and i think each and everyone should ass ethereum to their wallets as potential gains from ethereum are very high.

That is what I am doing. I have more ETH now.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum: Good alt or stay away? on: July 09, 2018, 12:44:09 AM
Today, the etherium is a good altcoin, but it can not go up when bitcoin falls. This is its difference from what it was last year. I do not recommend buying this coin now.

The price of ETH is quite stable even during the big congestion. It seems the price is well supported.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts on: June 21, 2018, 08:25:23 AM
It is a miracle that ETC can survive and survive from hard forks. The future development of ETC is still worth looking forward to.
News of coinbase integration of ethereum classic has also contributed to rise of price lately.

When will it be added?

Do we need to force P0 state to get better results. I run the cards at P2 state, 180W, about 50MH/s which is worse than most others.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you sell right away or wait? on: May 24, 2018, 06:07:31 AM
Usually i'm not greedy and selling everything right away after first wave of pump. Sometimes i'm wating but very often losing good money because of this holding.

What are the coins you have sold?

who will reprogram this if a new algo is born?

How about the DEVFee?

Monero will be what BTC supposed to be!

What about the Bitcoin Cash?
