Thank you! That is helpful.

Riiiight - just found a bit on the moneropool website where you can track stats and I think the issues is with the fact that I am 80 days behind. I have been paid out a fair bit more than the 0.5 I can see in my local wallet.

So now the question is, how do I efficiently get in sync?

I have this in my xmr.conf:

"url": "stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.com:3333"

I was under the assumption this was a pool? Happy to be told otherwise!

I am working on the assumption I should be getting this number down:

[Your node is 58088 blocks (80 days) behind]

I have tried to re-download a fresh copy of the blockchain, but it keeps going out of sync.

What kind of information should I provide?

I am running monero-win-x64-v0.10.2.1

Would this be of any help?

Hi guys,

I am running 3x RX480 Nitro + (Stock speed for now) and have been slugging away at 1600 H/s for about a month but my wallet still appears "0.5". This first 0.5 was after a quick few day test so figured all was running OK. Now, a month later, I am still sitting at 0.5. This does not seem right to me.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of things to check?

Cheers al!

Thanks for that!

Given that the initial thought was to start with a GPU focussed setup and the CPU being a side kick, I think I will chuck in a half decent i5 for now. Would like to get up and running sooner rather than later.

Thanks very much for your help :-) Pretty sure I will bump into you again on here!

Nice one.

Thank you Eyedol-X

You make a fair point with the name I guess! Whoops. It is actually my alias from my DJ days :-)

I am starting with the 3 cards in a standard ATX case (with plenty cooling), just to get the rig going from a software perspective and get an idea of what's what. The plan is to build out, hence I have already ordered the "open air" case with all the riser modules etc and going with the slightly overkill PSU.

I do believe that this board it 1+5 PCIe from reading the specs, so the build out to 6 should be supported as far as I can tell.

The CPU / Pascal is an interesting observation and something I obviously overlooked!! As you seem to have an idea about the CPU side of things, what would you recommend?Intel i5 minimum?

Thanks so far :-)

Hi guys.

I think I have sorted the idea for my 1st rig. In my head at least. Can someone tell me if this is a sensible rig to start having a play with?

ASRock H81 pro BTC
4GB DDR3 RAM
Intel Celeron G1840 Processor 2.8 GHz LGA1150
Samsung 250GB SSD
3x Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ 8192MB GDDR5
Custom case
Riser cards and cables etc
EVGA 1000 W GQ Series ATX Modular PSU

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I think I have the answer after a bit more forum searching :-)

Hi All.

I have had interest in crypto currency for a while and have some time on my hands to jump in and to build myself a little rig and see what's what.

So far (I think) I have decided to build a rig with 3x Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ 8192MB GDDR5 cards, maybe one more if it fits in the budget. Any alternatives would be appreciated.

I have a case pretty much sorted. Having done a bit of reading it seems the CPU and RAM are pretty irrelevant for GPU mining (which makes sense)

Would one of you be so kind and offer some suggestions to which motherboard and CPU combo would be sensible to go for? RAM is pretty easy to figure out and so is the SSD for the rig. Preferably a board that supports 6 GPU's.

I am UK based, so if anyone does have any suggestions, with prices, please quote in £.

Much appreciated!
