I did, I mined to the address that SiaUI wallet gave me. But I don't remember it and SiaUI keeps giving me a new address. Is the old address gone forever since I didn't save it?

Oh so it doesn't matter which address I used, Poloniex or SiaUI Wallet, it all shows up on Nanopool?
I wonder why I only have 6 then, I should have a lot more.

Thanks!
I mined a lot to my Sia UI wallet, who knows where that went. They seem to give different address every time I request and it still says 0 balance.

Whattomine shows Sia is more profitable for me. Anyway, that doesn't answer my question.

I'm dual mining with Claymore, and I have been doing that for a few hours now, but I can't see any coins being mined.
Nanopool sucks,  I can't seem to find any info there, but that's the only pool that I managed to connect to.

Anyway, this is what my batch file looks like:


"e4da19339f6a678a06c17b4431697cea2b7635e62d60cca27348f3354a7ebd2e666ad143c5a3" is my Poloniex adress.
I even tried to use Sia UI and synced my wallet after like 8 hours or so, while I was mining to the address it showed me, and the balance is 0!

What the heck did I do wrong?

Quality control. That's what makes the big difference.

"dtearth" from the thread seems to have solved his 1060 cards hashing only 15mh/s out of the box. Not sure what type of memory he had but I hope he answers.
I'm going to try this, but he did so many things that I won't be able to follow to the point, so who knows if I will succeed. Probably one of two things he did there solved the problem, not all of what he did.
Would be cool if someone else can give it a go as well.

So this is better for Nvidia compared to Claymore?
Mining only one coin.

That's normal, ETH is memory heavy and doesn't tax the GPU much, you can clock down the GPU as low as possible when mining ETH and it won't make a difference.
ZEC however is GPU heavy, which is why it gets hotter. I noticed some memory overclock boosts its hash rate, but not by much.
GPU's are way hotter than memory.

Same issue with all 10 of my Asus Phoenix 1060 3gb, they all have Hynix memory. It doesn't overclock bad, it just seems to be slow.

I experience the same with all my Asus Phoenix 1060 3gb (got 10 of them). But they all have Hynix memory. They are at 15mh/s out of the box, 18-19 overclocked. This is on Windows 10 with all updates.

AI is the next big thing. A lot of companies are working hard on AI technology. People are afraid of it and for a good reason, but the benefits are too good for one of those companies to pass on. It's actually the thing that will make humanity go to the next level. And whoever gets this first will have a huge advantage both technologically or economically.
Imagine a quantum computer capable of learning by itself, being able calculate and create things in a blink of an eye and not being limited by time, space or humans. It's the future. It will create space travel and space colonization, among other things.
It sounds like sci-fi but it actually is possible within the next 10 or so years to create a self learning computer capable of growing quickly. This is a big deal and I want to grab a big piece of it before it happens.

Now, AI coins! Anyone know anything about them?

I have to question holding too long.

Let's say you buy 100BTC some time ago when it was about $10 each.

Suddenly it's $50 each, wow, profit!
And then it goes up to $500, even more profit!
But wait, it's at $2500, prooooooooooooofiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!
Then it goes up to $3500, and $5000, and then $50.000....

Sure, now with BTC being $2500+, I bet a lot of people who sold it at $50 are bashing their heads against the wall (most likely did long ago), but what's the point of just holding it? Watching your cryptocurrency grow? And grow? And maybe eventually crash?
You don't see any of that money until you actually cash it in. IMO, make profit and move on. There are other coins that might yield good profit. And once a coin that is dealing with AI is released, I'm going to buy a shitload of it and keep it for about 10 years.

2x PSU? Oh boy. Not saying it won't work, but I hope you know how to deal with problems that are unique to double PSU

I have already moved to another country before (but not Asia), I know a bit of Chinese since my ex-gf is Chinese. Moving can be a hassle yeah, but I'll leave everything I have here to my parents, and ask some of my friends in China to help me find a place with cheap electricity and stable internet connection. Most of them live in Shanghai and Hong Kong but I have some friends in the north mainland, where some of the largest Bitcoin mines are and where it's usually cheap to live. It's close to freaking Siberia though.


Well, young and young, I'm 33
Solar panels in Sweden? Ha, you're funny

If you can find, get RX 470, 480, 570 or 580. AMD is however insanely hard to find in stock. If you can't, try to get your hands on GTX 1060 or 1070. When it comes to Nvidia, I recommend GTX 1060 over all others. They hash at about 19 out of the box, 22 or so overclocked, some people have pushed them to 23-24. 1070 is at about 30-32 but costs twice as much. 1080 is not good for Ether mining and 1080Ti is too expensive and hashes about 36 overclocked. Fury X and 980Ti hash alright but draw a lot of power, not worth it unless you have free electricity (or very cheap electricity).
Your computer is old, there's a chance you will have to buy new PSU. Not sure about that, since we don't know what PSU you have and it also depends on what card you buy (6 pin, 8 pin, 6+8 pin connectors etc).

Nah I don't think anything is wrong with his 1080Ti. He is mining Zcash, which uses GPU more than memory. My MSI 1080Ti is at 65C at <50% fan speed mining Ethereum, but if I go +125 on clock and mine ZEN, it goes up to 82C.
Ethereum doesn't push temps as bad as Zcash.

I live in Sweden and electricity here cost about $0.15/kwh. I always loved Asia, not just China. But I have a lot of friends in China who I could ask for help. I need some quick income, so investing about $25k in 20 or so miners and stay in China for 3-5 years would do me better than staying where I am now and earning about $35k a year.

My MSI 1080Ti Gaming X settings for Ethereum mining:

80% TDP (if I go 75% it drops over 2 mh/s)
-400 GPU (won't allow more)
+700 memory (could go higher but I think it's risky)
Fan speed automatic, temps about 65C.

Hashing at about 36-37mh/s. The system is drawing 650W from the wall, but it's my gaming machine. It's a hardline water cooled build with 11 fans, a pump, a 4.7ghz cpu, about 15 USB 3.0 peripherials and some other stuff.

So 20 Antminer S9 13.5TH/s would cost about $22k and the total hashing power would be 270TH/s.
I read that electricity in China is about $0.03-$0.04. I calculated $0.05 electricity cost and the profit would be $7260 per month, 88k per year. That's a lot of money for not doing much and China is cheap to live in.

Compared to my pathetic $1500/month ETH mining, this seems like a really good idea.
Is this a sensible idea or am I completely out of my mind? Sure this is not something I'm going to do in 10 years, but the amount I could earn per year would allow me to build a better future in just a few years.
