Hello everyone, I am mining Eth since late 2017 and after EIP 1559 I have a question I can't find an answer (even with google help ).

For a long time I thought that I was paying my transaction fee when I was getting a payout from my pool but with the last change from EIP 1559 I know now that it was not the case and that until EIP the pool were paying it.

Until EIP 1559 Pool minimum payout was pretty high (0.05 for nanopool, 0.1 for HiveOn etc...) and many miners made the choice of a pool depending of the minimum payout settings.

Now things have changed and many pool have lowered their minimum payout (but make miners pay their transactions fees).

If I understand correctly how Gwei and GAS works, even if I pay up to 500 Gwei its like 0.15 $ so it is very cheap.

If it is the case my question is, why do not pool Don't have even lower payout settings and why did they previously set their minimum payout so high ?

For example my RIGS make like 70 $ a day, I Don't care to pay 0.15$ a day to cash my Eth, its like 0.2% of the total amount.

For little miners reaching the minimal payout could take weeks or even months, so if you know the Reason why or if I am missing a point please tell me

I have seen many Rigs on the internet with 120 fans attached to the frame of the rig but i have not found any review about their efficiency.

Has any of your tried this setup and is this really Worth it ? I already attached one extra fan to one graphic card but I didn't notice any drop in temperature.

Hello everyone, I am having a big problem with my Asus B250 Mining Expert MotherBoard.

I used to have it running with 8 RX 570 and Hiveos and it worked pretty well except when I wanted to change algo

Then the load of the motherboard (LA) rised and the cards were hashing very low (or the rig was not responding at all and was going offline). Same issue happened sometime when I was changing my overclocking profil.

I decided to flash my Bios with the latest version (1207 instead of 1001) to solve this problem and instead....ended with a much bigger problem.

I now can't start my rig at all. I get from the motherboard a long bip and 3 short bips and nothing on the screen.

If I am right theses bips means that my motherboard doesn't detect any graphic cards.


From what I remember I had the same issue when I first bought the motherboard and I was able to solved it by plugging an oldschool RX 7950 (After that the motherboard dectected all my RX570)

Did you had a similar issue ? Or have you a solution ?


Here is what I have tested so far:

1) Unpluging all graphics cards, and Pluging only one card with riser on the x16 port

2) Unpluging my second power supply

3) Pluging one card directly on the motherboard (with bios mod and with original rom)

4) clear CMOS

I which I still had my Rx 7950 to do the test but I solded it...

Any advice are welcome 

Hello Guys,

I have built 2 RIGS with 4 RX 570 each and I am quite happy about them.

I tried  to run them using Windows 7 64 bit edition but I was having poor hashrate so I switch to SMOS and I love the way it work !!!

My only issue so far is that I can't make them work with more than 4 GPUS (both motherboards have a "mining option in the bios and are supposed to work with up to 6 cards )

First RIG use an MSI 270-A PRO motherboard (I read that many people were having trouble so I bought another motherboard with another chipset to set my second RIG)

Second RIG use a Gigabyte H110-D3A

Both Rigs have Celerons, 4 Go Crucial Balistix Memory and a 16 Go USB Stick to run SMOS.

My problem is as follow :

When I enable 4 G decoding, then my USB stick doesn't show as a booting device, so I can't boot SMOS, the MSI show me a black screen, the Gigabyte open directly the Bios in the booting section and show no device to boot.

I have read that it has to do with SMOS not being a UEFI disk but...there seems to be no way to make SMOS a UEFI drive

Does someone had a similar issue with it ?

I have already tried several things

1) Using Integrated graphics

2) Change the Gen to Gen 2

3) Enable Legacy boot

4) Update BIOS

5) Switch risers and video cards

6) I have read quite a lot using différents forums but no answer has helped me fixe this problem

I would be very gratefull if someone could find a minute to answer and possibly find a solution to my problem

Regards
Jean
