Just wanted to say thanks to Finsky. Got my 7 GPU pico/cable set this afternoon. Had it installed and running in under 10 minutes... Everything works perfectly !! Great quality, great customer service, really can't say enough about how pleased I am...

Thanks again, Finsky!! I'll be putting in a order for a few more shortly...

I'm running a Gigabyte Gaming R9 380 using 16.11.5 drivers dual mining Eth and Sia. I have tried everything down to 16.9.2 without issue.. You might want to look for the problem elsewhere...

After reading this thread through I felt I needed to post a reply. I have been in computers since back in the Commodore 64 and TRS-80 days, i'm not a stranger to PC's at all, messed with DOS a bit but never Linux, I would consider myself a Windows power user.

I got interested in mining back a few months ago. After playing with a couple ASIC miners for a bit and getting comfortable with SSH and basic Linux commands I stumbled across Ethereum and decided I wanted to build a GPU rig and try my hand at GPU mining. I bought a used Sapphire R9 280x card off Ebay (lesson learned, never buy someones "lightly used" wore out junk) and built a small one GPU rig. After doing alot of research it seems that Linux is the more efficient stable way to go when GPU mining.

 After fighting with Ubuntu for days and wasting hours and hours following guides that were either incomplete or outdated, I finally got it working, well somewhat, had freezing errors and artifacting, i'm sure it was probably a driver or something, but I had enough. I finally went back to my comfort zone with Win 7 and set it up that way, everything is working well now. But with the price increase in Ethereum I am expanding my little rig with a couple more GPU cards and still really want to try Linux mining to compare against Windows. I for one am glad someone came out with a plug and play version for mining Ethereum, I will gladly pay $39 for something that works, I lost much than $39 in wasted time just screwing around trying to piece together a version that worked. It's funny how people will pay thousands of dollars for hardware but whine about 39 bucks for a ready to go piece of software, baffles me...

Anyway I wish I stumbled across the GPU shack before I bought my last card on Ebay and wasted all that time trying to learn a ton of Linux commands and scripts. Also as for Ether going POS and mining drying up, there is already a Dagger clone coin called Expanse that's out you can mine, Dwarf already has a pool setup for it, and i'm sure there will be a few more to follow so I don't see this software or these cards being totally out of date and not usable anytime in the near future...

Rather than bitch and complain, give back to the mining community with a GOOD UPDATED WORKING step by step guide to setup mining on a Linux system for those of us who aren't Linux power users, till then i'm glad Alex and company put EthOS together. Just my 2 cents

Thanks Alex, looking forward to trying out those cards and software....

That would be great. Thanks !!

Is there anyway I could get the dxf files or drawing for the enclosure? I run a sign shop with a couple CNC's and just bought 2 x S5's and possibly a few more in the near future. Enclosing the whole thing with heatsinks over the chips ducting the air across them seems much more sensible.

Thanks

Thanks !  Yeah I look through as much information as I can find, and have been reading every forum post and and article I can find on the subject, but alot of it seems geared towards folks with Linux experience, just a bit over my head. I got the uNomp server up and running but it really lacks in the GUI and stats department so I followed another 3 part video tutorial on installing MPOS and after a few setbacks and a couple reformats got it up and running. Some of the deps were outdated and the links didn't work but nothing a couple google searches couldn't sort out. The server seems to be working well now, I just need to figure out how to install different coins with different algos. I'm starting to catch onto Ubuntu and the cli. There are alot of these MPOS pools out there, at this point I wouldn't mind paying a few $$ to someone that has experience with Linux and MPOS pool servers to make sure I have it setup and configured right and install some of the altcoins my friends and I would like to try mining... I own and run a full time business like 10-14 hours a day and this is sort of my rest and relaxation through out the day.

Thanks !!

I've actually got a Unomp pool up and running with the litecoin daemon per Blockgens excellent tutorial. Now i'm trying to get the altcoins I would like to add installed but it seems they are all different in the way they install and i'm still trying to learn Ubuntu in my spare time.

Any suggestions on maybe a tutorial or two about installing and configuring different coins?

I have a basic install of MPOS setup on a dedicated Ubuntu server. I'm looking for someone with experience that can install multiple coins(between 5-10 SHA256) and go through the configuration and make sure it's correct. Message me to get more details and what you charge.

Thanks

Any chance you have one more of the DPS2000 boards left?

Thanks
