@ citronick
thanks for putting this all in one place
i tried that sgminer , but it seems to only support stratum only
there is a nvidia solo miner im testing which works great
Need a solo miner for my vegas too
Hit the bitcointalk page for RVN... I last read the solo discussions over there, some have already tried solo mining succesfully and getting 5000 RVNs per block but this was almost 2 months ago.... I doubt a few GPUs can make a dent doing solo mining at present day but .... this RVN block cycle is every 60 seconds so who knows an array of Vegas or 1080tis would be an interesting project to setup. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2752467.msg28125249#msg28125249BTW, there is only 1.8M RVN coins for grabs ... so please leave some for us mere mortals... :-) yeah , thanks for that , I have been on the thread , I'm so anti pool nowadays though , even if i make less raven mining solo I will be happy just to not to have to use a pool. I'll let these 8 rigs run for a few days and see if I find a block, probbaly will point the vegas to suprnova for now thanks sir |

any of you SMOS guys ever run into this error: Miner ended/crashed. Restarting miner in 10 seconds --------------

Miner ended/crashed. Restarting miner in 10 seconds -------------- use that "enemy" fork from tpruvot's ccminerV225 -- its quite good be sure to include d=16 -i 19 Its also included in SMOS. No point using AMD cards to mine RVN... its too far behind NVIDIA cards... unless you are using VEGAs old -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://rvn.suprnova.cc:6667 -u philipma1957new.1 -p x new -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://rvn.suprnova.cc:6667 -u philipma1957new.1 -p x d=16 -i 19I am getting good results with enemy fork I just altered it as you suggested core is 130 ram is 500 watts at 160 temp set to 70 fan set to 65 Some thoughts one exchange = high risk I will hold ½ coins and sell ½ . Seems to be promising and may pay more then any other coin around. I would love to see zec do a variation of it. what miner to use with vegas? i have 4 for ravencoin that is thinking of switching my 10 nviddia 1070 and 4 1080ti 6 gpu rigs to raven as well |

Yup its over Johnny..... but its not only just bitmain its 3 other companys. "During our travels through Asia last week, we con confirm that Bitmain has already developed an ASIC for mining Ethereum, and is readying the supply chain for shipments in 2Q18. The initial roll out is expected in 2Q18, but production is expected to be somewhat limited (Bitmain may use these first rigs for proprietary mining within their own infrastructure). Production volumes are expected to ramp significantly beginning in Mya, with more widespread retail availability soon after. While Bitmain is likely to be the largest ASIC vendor (currently 70% to 80% of Bitcoin mining ASICs) and the first to market with this product, we have learned of at least three other companies working on Ethereum ASICs all at various stages of development." They dont have killer Hash rate, The real killer is how little power they use.  Here is the link for the whole article https://www.barrons.com/articles/amd-nvidia-at-risk-from-wave-of-new-custom-chips-says-susquehanna-1522082860
eth will fork for sure if that happens |

This email from Canaan... "...On Monday we will update the webstore with new prcing for the 841 and 821. The 841 will be priced at $1625 per unit with an MOQ of 60 units. You can either order in the shop or email steve@canaan.io. Shipping usually takes between 7 and 14 days of payment. Ask your sales agent about additional discounts. The 821 will be sold in a special package along with 4 free 841. Please see the shop on monday or ask your sales agent...." In January, they advised that the A821 will be around 3000-4000 $USD each. We complaint that the so called "special" price is outrageous, and so we postponed the group's plan to expand the Avalon farm. Their sales guy said, they have pre-orders up to the hilt already so it was okay for the group to back out from the bulk purchase. The group was to place 400 units x A821s.... instead we put the funds to good use and bought BTC at 6k-7k. Imagine 841s now priced at 1625$... i can just imagine the frustrations of the early buyers of the A8 series. $1625 is a much more reasonable price. I'm small time so no way could I pick up 400 units but I probably would've picked up 2 to 4 units at that price. Glad to hear that holding off on that worked out for your group! 1625$ is for A841s ..... Canaan went to greed mode just like Bitmain - hope this episode taught them a lesson but then again on hind sight they should sell at premium so that they stay in business and compete with Bitmain. Moreover, the Avalons are good gear compared to S9s -- Avalons are like Macs, S9s are like PCs. The group's existing S9 farm overall about 15-18% failure rate (around 17 out of 108 units), RMA 3 three times, since June 2016. Meanwhile, the A721s, 741s did not have any serious issues except for fans and a few power board replacements, across 4 x units out of 323 units. Thanks for sharing these numbers. I have read about similar experiences, and it looks like I'm going to order more Avalons. you can get an s9 13th for 1300 or so after $200 coupon I guess that pays for shipping. us mere mortals cannot get the a841 for less than $1999 from blockforge , few folks can buy the 60 moq from cannan s9 is a better buy due to that imo |

Any tips regarding the upcoming monero fork?
Are guys gonna move your ati rigs towards the new algo for monero? What about the price of the monero? I hope it will rise.
No one know what's going to happen Some people say it will decrease diff because the asics, but a lot of people will jump to monero at the same time... My bet is that hashrate will drop precipitously once XMR forks, if only because all those botnets of compromised servers will get shut out. Just point rigs to NH and the cryptonightv7 marketplace which is already available now. Claymore has already confirmed that he will get his miner ready before the fork. I wouldn't mind swinging the NVIDIA farm also mine cryptonightv7 ... wonder if tpruvot gets his ccminer updated. I believe xmr-stak planned on implementing it as well... That one is open source  I like it for that. Will also be thinking about putting my nvidia onto it nvidia cards dont do well on crytonite, although maybe this new algo is different |

I don't know what cards you have but if for example you have 30 GPU @ 200W each that is 6,000W, so (not even counting PSU & CPU heat) you will need 20,500 BTU. The remaining 4k BTU that you're talking about will probably barely cover your PSUs, CPUs, etc. In the end you're best case stuck with ambient temps in the room. If you find a way to exhaust the heat to the outside then you will only need a small AC unit to cool the room. In the past I used one of these 14k BTU @ 10.8A, and had external intake & exhaust so in an 27c room it would pump out 16c air all day long. https://www.amazon.com/Whynter-Dual-Portable-Conditioner-ARC-14S/dp/B0028AYQDC yeah I alaready have an external exhaust, I have six atttic fans. I will be installing an intake fan next week. The AC is just to help like you said cool the hotspots and add a few degrees of lower temps. Plus it can help with humidity build up |

Is there a benefit to using the new ethermine ssl connection?
i.e lower fee? better shares?

.... and cooler climate.
All of my group's ASICs farms are in Canada, and they enjoy the 9-month year long cool. Its too bad that almost all of the hosting facilities there are maxed out - probably no thanks to China mining farms. Seems that electricity hikes are also likely...
Totally. Canada I think is slightly cheaper still in terms of electricity, but Estonia has cheaper rent and infrastructure. Their average monthly salary is about 1k euros only, rent is 1.5-2.5 euro per square meter. Additionally in Estonia there's no tax on profits, only on dividends paid. I could keep all the money in the company and buy solar panels or something. I like those cases, KaydenC... they do look very slim though. Do you manage to get 6 GPUs plus PSU and cables in there?
Actually 8 gpu can fit inside. Here's a pic of the latest version. Plenty of space left  There's an older version with just 4 instead of 7 fan mounts which is much more cramped.  Cable management is very tight for this version, and cables are always in the way of airflow. The new version is from letine on alibaba. $243 usd for mobo + case with 7 fans. Shipping is $70 or so to malaysia. Id like to try one of those cases, what is the link to order from pls |

New generation cards or mining gear would have nothing to do with the supply. The block time always stays constant. The difficulty will just increase as it has been. If 95% of the mining community decides to stop tomorrow, the difficulty will just lower drastically so the remaining 5% of miners can maintain the 15 second block time. So I wouldn't worry about new technology affecting coin supply.
ETH has too high of a supply. A block reward is given every 15 seconds. Since January around 4 million coins have been added to the ETH supply. And it is going to keep going. The sell walls are thick, and are getting thicker by the day. Unlikely to see a massive increase in price. There is no ETH limit at this time as far as I know. So simple supply and demand will drop the price more and more. We will see when POS happens what will happen to ETH and the price.
alot of wrong assumptions here, they eth supply is high because eth will be consumed in large amounts at some point when dapps like Augur ,golem etc are live, Eth needs a higher supply than a static coin like bitcoin or lightcoin becuase people will have to give up eth to run most of these apps. Eth gas price is low as hell right now but once gas prices go up , they will need that hefty supply to handle the apps . Look at ada it has a supply in the billiona and its doing just fine. the problem with eth right now is there are no dapps worth mentioning so we have a rising supply and nothing to spend ot on |

Why do you people think that ASICs are what cause centralization? This has to come from a place of complete ignorance.
NEWS FLASH: There are massive GPU farms out there, going to ASIC would just be a hardware swap, nothing would change.
I manage over 10,000 GPUs myself.
Why would anyone want to pay $5000 to build a 6 card GPU rig versus buying a $2500 ASIC?
Try using logic when posting instead of emotion.
The problem with ASICs idiot is they only sell to the big guys early for the bulk orders and then mine with thier own hardware like they did with cryptonightt. Gpu's might be expensive but ANYONE can buy them, maybe not in bulk or at discounts big farmers like you get but the are accessible. Good quality ASICs for coins that would be very profitiable ( like cryptonight was before bitmain and baikal killed it) are not aviaible for sale until AFTER the large profits have been made by the big inside buyers and the chip makers. Then they dump the hardware on you for your measly $20 profit a day per machine (before power, hello S9 and L3) when they were making like 500 to 1k profit per machine when they initialy made it. The playing fieild is rigged that is why people dislike ASICs. Thats the problem dumbass |

how many miners do you have |

why use this instead of just mining with dstm and claymore or cgminer ?

If your 1080ti is only making $1 a day you are doing something wrong. I know people running a single 1080ti and they are making $3-$5 per day. Where are you getting your information or what are you mining and on what settings? That $3-$5 per day figure is without running the card intense, unless you consider 65c and 76% TDP to be anything except conservative.
You're doing something wrong if your goal is primarily to make the most $ per day. Maybe we can help you figure it out and optimize.
Would you mind sharing how they're making $3-$5 a day? Thanks. Each of my 1080 (non TI) is making around $1.86 usd per day. Something is wrong with the original scenario. Call me greedy but Im waiting for the nervous people to flood the market with used GPU's which will greatly push prices down. Ill gladly turn my 20 GPU mini farm into a 100 GPU farm. I can turn it off when profits goto shit and I can turn it back on when profits go up. I pAY 4.8 cents kw/h. this ia why we werec laughing when people were paying $1k for a 1080ti and $450 to $600 for a 580 maroons 😂😂😂 May be now prices will drop, finally they are alrwdy dropping but pls be smart and pay msp $269 max for a good 580 8gb, $399 for a 1070ti etc do not overpay |

just let us have a tea or two and wait. i guess at summer we will be back in the game. cryptos have to recover and everything will be well again. all power to the power of gpu mining.
summer electric prices will destroy alot of farmers if these prices to not stablize at around 500bill cap |

WHAT IS MORE PROFITABLE, CLOUD MINING OR MANAGE YOUR OWN?  cloud mining is a scam, if anything colocate your miners if you cant host on your own |
