Its down again, yesterday I switched from zenpool.org as it was down for more than a day, now this is down too.

First time mining zencash and I'm not impressed with the pools/stability.

I lost 2 BTC in the Opair scam. Shysters! Hope they get caught and land up in a 3rd world country jail cell ....

The problem I have with investing in ico's is that whether you invest with btc or eth, btc or eth is most likely to outperform those tokens anyway.

I use the BlockFolio app to track my profit and loss and $ wise it appears as if I made huge profits, but when you view it in btc, most of my ico investments have been far outperformed by btc or eth.

Had I kept the btc, my portfolio would be worth substantially more.

Even the last two I invested with eth, if I had kept the eth, I would have had 3x more in $ terms.

Thanks, wish I backed team green from the start .....

If I may ask, which algo are you using to mine DGB and with AMD or NVIDIA?

According to whattomine.com, for me, its rather low on the list of profitability using Myriad-Groestl with mostly AMD RX470's.

Just discovered and using this from ethos (Ubuntu) and so far, seems like I'm getting about 20% hash rate improvement on RX470/570/580, so the 1% dev fee is definitely worth it.

These are stock values, no o/c (all cards are bios modded for eth mining though).

RX 470 = 14.59 - 15.3 mh/s
RX 570 = 15.8 mh/s
RX 580 = 18.65 mh/s

Thank you, Great job!

Will continue to check in to see when you fix the eth issues, would be great to have another alternative eth miner and maybe even more mh/s than claymore ?

Darn, wish I had known earlier, saw people mining 4000+ per day, but it was fun mining this for a few days, managed to mine 457. Will hodl it and move onto something more profitable, but continue to watch this.

I expect many miners to jump ship, this will likely reduce the hashrate and difficulty and reduce the inflation rate, so it might become worthwhile in a few days or weeks depending on the price.

Made a newbie mistake, quoted the next post

Thanks for your spin on it, I'm cautiously optimistic, just mining and hodl for a few days, nothing to loose, just less eth

Thanks, I'm cautiously optimistic, just going to mine and hodl for a few days with the hope it goes to the moon, if not, I've still taken a chance and did it !

Struggled for days to get the AMD cards working on ethos, finally nailed it.

My GTX 1070 cards (using pimpos) outshine the fastest 480/580's I have by a factor of almost 2 x . The RX 470/570's do 12-13mh/s.

The best I get with RX580 is about 15 mh/s (power level 5) GPU clock 1180, mem clock ~1950-2000, the gtx 1070's give 26 mh/s at 130W TDP with -I 21 and memclock + 1150.

Would be interested to hear what can be done to improve, but with the coming halving in about 5hr, wonder if it will still be worth mining this.

Bought one of these Gigabyte RX570 4GB Gaming  cards to try it out and so far utterly disappointed.

Win 10 wouldn't recognize it along with my Sapphire RX470's rear blowers (love those) no matter what, so I unplugged all the Sapphire's, plugged this is and restarted in safe mode, used DDU to uninstall the driver, restarted, then installed the latest AMD Driver, upon which it got recognized. When I removed it and plugged in the Sapphires, windows wouldn't recognize then, so had to boot into safe mode, DDU and start again and let windows automaticaly recognize and install the driver.

It has Elpida memory, so I did the same bios updates as on the Sapphire's, i.e. copy 1500 timings to the higher numbers.

Underclocking the GPU to 1100 and overclocking Memory to 2000 like I do with the Sapphires, resulted in total instability and still only 25 mh/s - the Sapphires all yield 28.2 - 28.5 mh/s

I added this to my ethos (after updating to 1.2.1) rig and it was recognized. It will start out hashing at 28 mh/s for a minute, then drop down to 24.5 - 26.5 but with a very high incorrect / rejection rate.

Just changed the amdgpu settings with memory clock at 1920 and now it seems to be hashing at 27.175 constantly. So its at least 1mh/s slower than the Sapphire's and seems to be drawing much more power. Definitely not going to build a new rig with all of these.

Didn't make any difference, I even disabled windows firewall, still doesn't connect. Perhaps this latest gmc release has a problem ?

Without that switch it doesn't recognize my AMD rx470's

Thanks but that didn't work, still getting the same can't connect error.

Trying solo mining, downloaded gmc-windows-4.0-amd64.exe and followed the instructions on musiccoin web site, i.e. started gmc like this:


gmc-windows-4.0-amd64.exe --rpc --rpcaddr "192.168.1.4" --rpcport 8545

...
0410 22:05:23.322342 node/node.go:366] HTTP endpoint opened: http://192.168.1.4:8545
...

It synced the whole block chain, then I tried genoil ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1.7

ethminer -G -F  http://192.168.1.4:8545 -O 0x...... --opencl-platform 1

But it consistently gives this error:

What am I missing ?

Thanks, I see my balance was paid out.

I tried the other two pools listed music coin and unfortunately their hash rate isn't enough to make it profitable for me to mine there.

Its like the chicken and egg problem, there are other pools, but how to get miners to come if they won't make a decent income.

With the recent pumping of just about every coin, the profitibility of just about every ethash coin has plummeted as so many new miners are joining in the feeding frenzy.

I found the sample problem mining eth and etc, hash power is concentrated in a few pools, you just don't stand a chance making much on the smaller pools. We all paid dearly for our hardware and ongoing electricy and the constant checking for down rigs etc that we can't afford to miss days of making hardly anything.

Those big pools are so over crowded, the payouts are getting lower and lower, nowhere near what whattomine says.

Currently mining on the NomNom.technology pool, payments stopped yesterday and I have a bigger balance in my pending balance than paid balance.

I checked other miners on the pool and it looks like no one has been paid recently.

I tried to go to their slack to file a report, but I don't have any of the email addresses required to sing up.

If the owners of NomNom.technology see this, please check your pool and make sure you pay your miners otherwise they will defect to other pools.

Thanks, going to join a pool.

Difficulty on etc and eth are insane so going to try this and see how it goes.

Is it still possible to solo mine this coin  with about 247 mh/s ? The net hash rate and difficulty seems too high ?

I'll think twice before investing in "ICO" again.

Hope my other ICO's make up for this loss.

Hope the scammers suffocate on their stolen BTC's.
