Hello, I am about to upgrade my rig from a coupe of cards in my every day PC, to a standalone rig. I was looking at getting the Gigabyte GA-H110-D3A (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072NDFT1D/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1) with 6 PCI-E slots and filling them all at the start.

But then I thought that if I want to expand in the future I'd have to buy an build a complete new rig, so I started looking into boards with more PCI-E slots, to give me room to expand later with less cost involved (simply the GPUs and another PSU). And I found these boards:

ASRock H110 Pro BTC + (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073BX57M1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1)
Gigabyte GA-B250-Fintech (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07988FLFW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1)
Biostart tb250-btc pro (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073JZ8C8Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A2LNOP4UQZJ1&psc=1)

Has anyone used any of these and can give any advice as to which might be best to use?

I will be using Windows 10 on an SSD and running RX570s. Starting with 4 (plus 2x560s that I already have) and possibly expanding later in the year depending how it goes.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello, I am after some advice on how to reduce power consumption on my small SMOS rig, mining Eth using Claymore-Eth-11.7. I am running:

1xRX570 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 2200Mhz ~ 27.3Mh
1xRX560 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 1600Mhz ~ 10.9Mh
1xRX560 Core = 1100 Mhz, Memory = 1900Mhz ~ 12.5Mh

And I use 290W without making any other changes.

So, in SMOS I reduced the powerstage to '5', and the Core undervolting is set to 820, and I am using.... 285W.

I haven't changed the BIOS or anything yet.

Is is possible to reduce the power consumption somehow?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello, I am using SimpleMining OS to mine Ethereum to Nanopool. I have got the mining set up fine, but when I check my progress on Nanapool it always says "Incorrect Worker Name". I am using claymore-eth-v10.6 within SMOS.

I thought I have set it up properly in SMOS, the line being:

Default config: -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $walletETH/$rigName -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -asm 1

I have changed the stratum address to nanopool and put my Eth Wallet address in, but I have tried putting a rig name in afterwards and Nanopool doesn't like it at all it seems.

The auto generate config file for Claymores miner from NP i:
 -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal [WALLET ADDRESS].Rig1/[EMAIL ADDRESS] -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

Which I have also tried with no success.

I hope there will be no issue with NP and me losing a payout over this? It has registered fine with my walled address.

I realise this is probably a beginners question but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated - I'm going round in circles here.

Thank you.

As per the title. I am selling my eBit E9 6.5T miner. It has been working away quite happily in my garage since September last year but it's time to upgrade.

I'm happy to use an escrow service and I can send photos / screenshots etc if people want to see them.

All sensible offers considered.

I am thinking of upgrading from my eBit 6.5T miner but I'm not sure the best way to sell it. I am wary of using eBay due to being scammed buy buyers before (eBay and Paypal ALWAYS seem to take the buyers side, regardless).

So I wondered if anyone could suggest a different and better place to sell it.

It is still profitable, even in the UK where electricity is £0.12 kw/hr, so I'd like to believe selling it will be quite easy, it's just a question of where.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am after some advice about building a basic beginners rig. I am looking at the following components:

MoBo - https://www.ebuyer.com/727229-gigabyte-ga-h110m-s2h-socket-lga-1151-vga-dvi-d-hdmi-micro-atx-motherboard-ga-h110m-s2h

CPU - https://www.ebuyer.com/766089-intel-celeron-g3930-socket-1151-retail-boxed-processor-bx80677g3930

RAM - https://www.ebuyer.com/659765-crucial-ct4g4dfs8213-4gb-ddr4-2133-mt-s-pc4-17000-cl16-sr-x8-unbuffered-ct4g4dfs8213

PSU - https://www.ebuyer.com/774869-aerocool-integrator-850w-psu-acp-i850bm-oem

With 2x RX 570's, probably https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071XPDHW5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (I will need a riser for one of them)

And Simple Mining OS running from a USB stick.

Does this look ok for a beginners kit? I realise the hash rate is not going to be huge, but I'm using this to learn and see how it all works. And I'll have a spare PCI slot to put a 3rd card in sometime in the future.

WhatToMine.com suggests 0.006 Eth per day - is this realistic?

Any advice / feedback would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hello, I have an eBit e( miner (6.3Th/s) working away in my garage. The noise, isn't so loud it's an issue but I was wondering if I could change the fan. I found a 12cm fan which I used, but it was no where near man enough for the job. Has anyone succesfully managed to change a fan to something quieter?

If so, what fan did you use?

Thanks.

Hello,
I am a relatively new investor in Bitcoin, and recently I have been reading about a fork to Bitcoin gold. My understanding is that everyone who owns Bitcoin receives the equivalent number of coins in the forked currency, once the fork takes place. Is this correct?

Do I have to store my Bitcoin in a specific wallet (I might be new, but I'm not stupid enough to send my coin to you ;-) ), or do anything to activate this, or will it happen automatically? (If the fork goes ahead, of course).

Thanks for any advice.
