Hi, Nothing is impossible my friend... I mean, I do not have superpowers and can not predict the future. If you get a chance, watch the video. I show the math and my results. A good site to check out the differences between Cryptonite Algorithms is Cryptunit. https://www.cryptunit.com/I definitely agree with your last statement. That's impossible unless if you have a large number of mining rigs that could mine ETN like the other said monero would be the best choice if you are mining with vega GPU's.
Well, it always depends on our strategy how we can make a large profit in mining coins, so I think it depends on us if what we wanted to choose to mine and patience is always the key to make a large profit.

Hi Suslived, I appreciate your viewpoint. I know what you are saying, but me personally, I have been reading this forum for awhile and been in the mining scene for longer. Most of what I read is negativity, so I just do not post much on the forums. Electroneum is a complete shitcoin.
I don't understand why newbie accounts keep popping up and shilling it. Probably shows how desperate the Electroneum team is getting. Serves them right for screwing ICO investors and launching a failed coin. DUMP your electroneum while you can boys.

I am heavily invested in the project from a mining standpoint. My opinion is that the coin has potential in the future because of the team behind it. With that said, as of this moment, it is not profitable or efficient to mine with GPU's with the ASIC's currently dominating the blockchain. In two weeks this will be a different story after the proof of work fork which will "kick" the ASIC's off of the blockchain. I am still purchasing the tokens at this point from the profits I earn from mining other coins. Here is a video I just made yesterday that talks about my results so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKCv1JdqKVEI tried to mine electroneum with my cpu and I dont find it good for me. The hash rate was pretty decent but the coins I do get after a block mined is not worth my time or the work I am putting into it.
Do you guys think that mining electroneum with gpu is worth a try or just failure?
reply from miners appreciated.

Good video and thanks for the information. I left a comment on youtube with a link to my video of a radiant barrier and my fan set-up. It is cheap and might give you some ideas for your shed. Best of luck! Earlier this month we traveled to Coin Forge a cryptocurrency mining start-up company based out of Northern Virginia (Annandale, Va) They have turned a residential basement into their proof-of-concept data center and are now offering their custom amd rx570 mining rigs for sale at any quantity. Lets review their rx570 sapphire mining rig! https://youtu.be/SX6ej3dwbw8Coin Forge offering promo price for 2 weeks https://[Suspicious link removed]/sNBoKs Coin Forge LLC Facebook page - https://[Suspicious link removed]/gsBpF5 Buy AMD Rx570s on Amazon today - http://geni.us/nti5asrMining Rig Parts IN STOCK on Amazon - http://geni.us/WQd7cCsVoskCoin is an eBay Partner.

I started to install the radiant barrier. Almost a 40-degree drop in temperature on the roof and outside wall surfaces in direct sunlight. Here is the YouTube video showing my progress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6ThJEKCW84

For the original poster... This is exactly what I recommend you do also... pull off the riser and unplug the VGA cables to the card in question A bad GPU can make the whole system unstable, which is why you want to disconnect it from the motherboard so you can isolate the problem. You could also try that GPU in another system by itself.

Yes, I will definitely be looking into this in the future. In my personal situation... 1. I had equipment all over my house, one room was completely unusable because of heat and noise from the fans. My entire house sounded like a server room. I was also out of available circuits in my home to plug the rigs into. I have a family, it was also a little unsightly for my family and guests. 2. I moved all equipment off of 120 volts and onto 240, effectively cutting my Amp draw in half and I have a slight increase in efficiency from my PSUs. I can now run almost 60 cards off of a single 60 Amp drop. 3. This is a temporary location for the shed, it will be moved and have a dedicated 200 Amp service, I talk about this in a couple of the videos. how did u get electric company to meter that thing...
It's tied to his house meter, just like if you built a shack/shed with its on power panel detached from your home. whats the point then??? theres no room for expansion... home service get eaten up quick.. Adding to this, I know someone that did something similar with a larger detached building then put solar panels on top of it (has existing solar on the home) and near doubled his solar offset for very little cost

Thank you for your suggestions Phillip, definitely a work in progress. Lot of wood.= fuel
So consider. Fire blankets.
Amazon has some 78 inch by 78 inch
And some silver bubble wrap from Home Depot.
Staple the bubble wrap to the walls.
Then attach the fire blanket to the silver bubble wrap.
About 100 dollars to do this
I like the bubble wrap idea better, better R value insulation too if you combine with actual insulation. Also there is some sound/fireproofing material called Rockwool that is worth looking into $100 of it would likely cover that entire shack and its rated to 2150F fire resistance. Has basically no R value though. The same company does make an R15? rated version of it though for a little more

Yes, this is a temporary location for the shed. I will be moving it to a new location and it will have a dedicated 200 Amp service. The volume of airflow north to south is considerable. It is only about a foot from the roof of the shed. The airflow is so great, I do not believe this will be a concern as the volume is so small and the fan is oversized for the given space by about 3 times. Still a work in progress. I am considering a radiant barrier as only 3 sides of the shed have direct sunlight. The fan is a gable vent fan, so the noise is extremely low. It is actually much quieter than my AC condenser for my house. I will add solar in the future at the new location. I am actually a Network Engineer. I have been in IT for about 15 years now. Thanks for all of the suggestions again friend. went through all 10 videos -- some questions or things I noticed.
I see you installed a 60amp service from your home... It appears you have more plugs there than you do power available. I think you hinted at that in one of the videos so I expect you already discovered this at this point. Did you end up going with higher amp service?
Only thing I think I would have changed is your exhaust fan location, I would have moved it higher if possible since hot air naturally rises, you would intake fresh air from the lowest point that makes sense to (considering critters and bugs) and exhaust it out the top.
I'm surprised you didn't opt for insulation. First thing I noticed was how small the building was, I thought that's perfect, small area to cool for intake air temps if you can exhaust the hot air, it would work quite well. I heard you mention radiant barrier for the roof in one of the videos and I'd definitely recommend you looking into that or spray foam for the roof at the minimum, I would also pad the walls and then just secure them with netting (no sheetrock)
Have you done any exterior DB noise testing? How close is your neighbors fence? it looks pretty close from the installation video. I'd really like to know how loud it is externally with the fan option your chose.
If you are in city and get people complaining about noise I was going to suggest some external ducting of some kind with some sound deadening material lining the inside, if you can come out of your louver and make a 90 turn down, then another 90 to exit you'll lose some cfm but may be able to cut out a lot of the fan noise if your neighbors start complaining.
Overall great project for a DIY'er that has IT knowledge and maybe not the most knowledgeable about how to setup a "mining shack" or room.
A Suggestion if you want to get really crazy or just to play -- look into solar to offset some of your power costs, if you add solar to your home, you can easily add in your own solar panels to the roof of the shack which will generate some additional kwh at peak times and help insulate the roof some.

Thank you, Hope you enjoy. Nice project, I'm just getting into watching your videos but definitely like how you're breaking it out for the noobs.

Agreed with tg88, Youtube is a great place to learn. I was a Nvidia guy, and now I am an AMD guy who mines the Crytonight algorithms. I started a youtube channel and have a couple of tutorial videos out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrIMbomEyfV-EyKfVokfNiwOne of the in-depth tutorial/configuration videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r87zfuqgdFw&list=PLyW_qHo4MoyB4M9NF1NDFhT53qZURtj1gI'm wondering if anyone has a good resource to learn more about GPU mining commands and settings. I just got into GPU mining this year and have so much to learn I don't know everything I don't know I'm not looking for the generic plug and play walkthrough. I have already done that and have a rig up and operating. I have watched videos about how to OC and undervolt settings on the cards themselves, and have performed BIOS mods. I would still be open to more info about these as well. What I would like to do is hone my skills and knowledge in regards to running different miners, playing around with commands and understanding what I'm actually doing. Thanks in advance for anything you have.

I was an ETN miner before the ASIC onslaught. I am currently mining Monero. A lot more profitable at the moment.

You will need to go to Windows Defender in the settings section. turn off real-time protection and then attempt the download. Windows Defender says there's a trojan in your files? can't download...

I will definitely do additional videos in the future to cover more detailed config files, settings, exc. Thank you. I made a tutorial video for anyone who wants to see the latest 0.9.2 version in action with the latest Adrenalin Edition 18.3.4 Drivers - NO BLOCKCHAIN DRIVER!!! I also picked up 1000 extra hash on the rig over xmr-stak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r87zfuqgdFw&t=38sHi put : -ratewatchdog --fastjobswitch for better performance ( i see outdated job in your video)
