Ok, so this is a little concerning.  This morning my NH wallet balance is $0.00.

I see where it appears they did the usual in-wallet transaction to my local wallet around 6am:



But notice the actual transaction is missing and that $ symbol signifying a payment is missing from the graph...

Are you guys seeing the same thing?

I hope so.  Looking at their on-line store, the only cards (air cooled) they available right now are:

1080 FTW $559.99 (limit 1)
1080 SC2 $549.99 (b-stock limit 4)
1070 FTW2 $489.99 (limit 1)

You're right that NH does not offer a Lunix version of their miner directly, however, nvOC (Linux based mining os) does offer a couple of the NiceHash pools, but are limited to:


And:


nvOC does support profit switching between many coins and pools, but it is pretty crude and uses the WhatToMine json and I have found it less profitable in practice, compared to just sticking with a single coin and manually switching weeklyish (i.e. from ZEC to ZEN to MONA to VTC).  At least that was my experience on MPH.

I'd LOVE to see a Linux version of their miner, but I think their target audience has been Windows so far.

Speaking of NH miner and NHML in particular, does anyone know what happened to 'DillonN'?  He's the guy that posts binaries for NHML miner on GitHub, and the last commit he did was on November 21st for NiceHashMinerLegacy.  Makes me wonder if he is still part of the NH team.

That's a very good question.  In my case, I have been mining a single coin, like ZEN, on MPH, which has done very good lately.  I have played with auto switching in the past, and also manually switched between coins.  But that gets to get real old real quick if you have 10+ rigs and it involves modifying bash scripts and ssh'ing into each rig to force a miner restart.

You would also have to spend time studying the market and know that Bulwark was currently driving the Nist5 profits for example.  I don't have time for that, so dipping my toes with NH again has been pretty interesting so far and proving more profitable that I thought it would.  It is also not just Nist5, NH sometimes picks a decent coin on other algos.  Right now, for example, I have a couple of rigs going at it on lyra2rev2:



The big question on my mind, is how much does NH skim off the top on the profit numbers showing before depositing to local NH wallet at 2%?  Withdrawing from local NH wallet to Coinbase has no fee, and is instant, which was one of the reasons I decided to try it out again.  I'll need to run for at least a week to know for sure, but right now, even with whatever skimming NH might be doing, I appear to be on track to make 20-30% more than I did on MPH mining ZEN only.

Yikes.  I hope it was powered down before moving.  I "spun" my rig around under power to get rid of the air bubbles.  Fortunately it didn't leak!

But, but, they are so pretty to look at.  Here's my Arcticstorm:



And whisper quiet sitting right next to me and earning a decent return:



But yeah, for a 100% mining only rig, that type of water cooled GPU is too much work.

On my air cooled 9x EVGA SC and SC2 1080Ti rigs I'm doing: (currently $81.07)

tdp 80% (190W)
core 100
ram 550

On my water cooled 4x MSI 1080Ti rig I'm doing: (currently $38.26)

tdp 75% (190W)
core 145
ram 600

On my water cooled 1x Zotac 1080Ti rig I'm doing: (currently $9.72)

tdp 65% (230W)
core 240
ram 650

So the brand/model of the specific 1080Ti makes a big difference on the tdp and core settings used.

EVGA least power hungry and highest factory clock
MSI fairly power hungry and middle of the road factory clock
Zotac crazy power hungry and very low factory clock (on their watercooled card unlike their AMP! Extreme)

I moved 6 of my rigs to the latest win 10 creators edition yesterday using the current ISO downloaded directly from Microsoft.  Once I had the ISO, I used the MSMG Toolkit to completely debloat it, and proceeded to install onto a SSD in my test rig with a single 1060.  I installed the latest nvidia drivers.

I then moved the SSD with the completed install, into my 1st rig (9x1080Ti).  I was pleasantly surprised that after "updating device drivers" ran for about 20 minutes, it came up and all 9 of my cards where there and no missing device drivers.  I then loaded afterburner and NHML and I was mining again.

Rinse and repeat for my other 5 rigs with no issues encountered there either.

These rigs were running nvOC before, pointing at MPH mining ZEN.  They were all doing quite well, but the guys over on [H]ardforum kept talking about how Nist5 on NH had been doing amazingly for 10+ days, so I figured I'd give it a try.

So before, my 2 9x1080Ti rigs on nvOC were getting this: (I'm using Awesome Miner to monitor my rigs)



And now that they are on NH, they are earning this:



Of course it goes up and down, but in the close to 24 hours I have been on NH, I rarely see it dip below $80 and I have seen it go over $140:



I still have several rigs mining ZEN on MPH, and the earnings there are the same as before.  I'm picking up some additional SSD's today to convert those over to NH as well (I want to keep the nvOC SSDs so that I can go back quickly if I need to).  As for licensing Win10, I just get those cheap keys from ebay.  They have been working for me so far.

I withdraw daily to my coinbase account instantly with $0 fees, so my NH exposure is minimal.

Agreed on the SC's and SC2's.  I got a rig with 9x SC's and another with 9x SC2's.  I run them at 200W each and they still stay quite cool:

These are the Delta's I'm running:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835213005

• 120 CFM
• 44dBa
• 5.52W (typical)
• dual ball bearing
• $17 (on sale right now)

So they move a little bit less air, use a little bit less power, and are a little bit less noisy, but cost a little bit more.  So yeah, the Scythe is a it a better buy, but they are real close.

Like Phil said, I used the included 3-pin to Molex adapters that came with the Scythe fans to connect to unused Molex connectors from the ATX PSU.

Fans are kept in place by being screwed to the aluminum angle stock (1/2" x 1/16") with 6-32 screws.

The Delta's I have are relatively low RPM @ 3,000 just like the Scythe, but cost about 50% less and move just as much air and use 0.6A as opposed to 0.7A.

I did move both the Colorful and the Onda rigs out into my garage yesterday and they were too loud sitting next to me in my home office.  I only have my water cooled rigs in my office now, and it is nice and quiet now.

According to the news release, new investors are taking care of the payback.  They admit the stolen funds are unlikely to be recovered.

Looking on WTM, Nicehash X11Gost, Equihash, Lyra2Rev2 and NeoScrypt are already climbing the charts, currently holding positions 10, 13, 16 and 17 respectively.  It would appear that previous users are already flocking back in droves.

Colorful pros:

• Can use server PSU as all it needs is 8x 6-pin PCIe power
• Fan power headers in the perfect place

Colorful cons:

• Slot spacing very tight
• Custom 4-pin to 4-pin CPU power cable
• Expensive DDR4 SODIMM ram

Onda pros:

• Slot spacing is perfect

Onda cons:

• Slot0 won't take a full length card
• Molex and Sata power connectors
• ATX power connector
• Fan headers not accessible with GPUs installed
• Expensive DDR4 SODIMM

The Onda V2.0 takes care of just about all the cons with V1.0.  About the only con left is that you need a PICO if you want to use a server PSU since it retains the ATX power connector.

Those 3000 rpm fans Phil recommended finally came in.  I swapped out the ~1,600 rpm Thermaltake fans and it made all the difference.  Temps are now between 55 and 65 with the GPU fans staying at 50%.

Here are a couple of shots of the fully loaded Coloful rig:





And stats:



Also got all but 1 card in for the Onda rig.  I'm staggering Zotac 1070Ti Minis with 1070TI AMP!.





And stats:



This rig is running Delta fans with about the same specs at the fans Phil recommended (but more expensive).  Hope to have the 4th AMP! by Friday, but Christmas mail mayhem might delay it.

Thanks, I'll check them out.


I guess I can.  I was just hoping to get an answer as to why they cancelled my entire order, and I did see where they still had the PSU I ordered available for order, so for all I know, re-ordering would just result in the whole thing getting cancelled again after 6 additional business days.


Albert Su is who emailed me about cancelling the entire order.  Sent him 3 follow up email over a 5 day period and left him 2 voice mail messages.  I also emailed Missa Biesel and left her voice mails during that same period.  No response at all.

I ordered 36 PCIe 6pin to 6pin cables (the white and black ones), 2x X7 breakout boards and 1x HP 94% 1200W PSU (their Baikal Giant Miner kit) although I'll be using that PSU to power a Colorful mobo instead of the Delta 2400W I'm currently using.  I was hoping to have all this stuff here before Christmas, but now it looks like it will be after the 1st of the year.

Anyone know what's going on with parallelminer?  I placed and order with them on the 12th for a PSU, various cables and power boards, then on the 16th I got an email saying the PSU was out of stock and they cancelled the entire order.  I sent several emails back, called and left messages, and here we are on the 18th and no response at all.  Tried to leave following vm's today, but now their vm's are full...  wtf?

The power sensing circuitry in the 1050Ti is faulty so nvidia disabled pulling these false readings in the recent drivers.

I used the upgrade script and had modified versions of 1bash ready to push to reach miner after the update script completed.

I believe papampi is working on a 19_2.0 image.

Around 63 MH/s is the best I can do at 220W into rigs with EVGA 1080Ti SC Black Edition cards:



http://www.cstone.net/~dk/miner03_lyra2v2_12_17_17.JPG

Factory power limit on the SC's is 300 watts, so the 220 watts I'm feeding them would be the same at 73%.

My water cooled 1080Ti rig (MSI Sea Hawk EK and Zotac ArcticStorm GPUs) only does slightly better at around 65MH/s feeding them 220 - 230 watts.



http://www.cstone.net/~dk/miner05_lyra2v2_12_17_17.JPG

The Sea Hawks have a factory power limit of 330 watts, so the 225W I'm feeding them is about 68%.  The Zotac has a whopping 432 watts factor power limit, so the 230 watts I'm feeding it is about 54%.

These rigs  is running lyra2v2 and Alexis ccminer 1.0 (I guess there hasn't been an update in a while).

I tried various other ccminer 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 forks, but Alexis did better than all of them.

Rolled 19-2 out to all my rigs and no issues whatsoever.

I have rigs with 1050Tis, 1060's, 1070's, 1070Ti's and 1080Tis and each rig has between 3 and 9 GPUs, so a decent mix of GPU models and rig configurations.

In a future version, I'd love to see a "summary" feature of the rig stats and I soon won't be able to fit them in a single browser window on a 4k monitor.
