I wish either of these two would answer my PM ... Sent them everything a week ago, including signed message and all...

Thanks for answering, Leass. Much appreciated. I think I'll keep it in the thread for now as it might benefit others.

Re. delays: are we talking interval here? I set mine at 600 seconds actually.

Re. OC: yes, I'm running an oc indeed, but I've set it relatively low just because of the different handling per algo indeed. I might have to go even more conservative I guess, as I realise it could potentially be a cause for the crashing. Are you saying blake2s, lyra and Skunk should work with one OC setting and Skein/Nist5 with another? Which combo does need throttling more?

Re. PowerLimit: my 1080's are set at 80%. Keeps power draw in check but still allows for some o/c.

Re. Remote desktop: noted, thx. I like Teamviewer, can access the rig(s) with my Lumia 950 (yes, it has a Windows 10 mobile app!). I fear however that when one of those proper crash happens, the only thing I can do is a hard reboot by switching off the WiFi plug (and yes, there's a Win10 mobile app for that too!)

Does this mean one should load up on BTC right before the fork and get (another) free lunch?... 

I've been struggling to have either Sniffdog or Nemo working stable on my rig. It will always crash at some point. Several times a day. I'm suspecting Alexis might be the biggest offender, but I don't think it's the only one.

What delays/intervals are you setting your miner at?
Also, while I've setup Speedfan to monitor GPU temps (and automatically reboot the rig if any GPU's temp falls below a certain threshold for 10 consecutive minutes), the rig will regularly disconnect completely (i.e. probably failing reboot - and becoming un-controllable from Teamviewer).

All in all a very unsatisfactory situation which I am struggling to fix. Was hoping there would be more people out there who could share similar experiences (and would be interested to know if and how they'd fixed it).

I had this happen with a faulty GPU.
It would display fine in "normal" use, but crash the PC as soon as you'd apply OpenCL load. RMA'd the card, got a new one, no more problem.

Is Bitcoin Gold another BTC fork like BCH/BCC was? Will every BTC holder be receiving the corresponding amount of Bitcoin Gold?

They aren't wrong. They're theoretical. They can't predict the future. So treat them as what they are: a good indication, at most.

You don't need to mod the bios for that. Your base voltage is probably just higher on the mining card. Lower it using Afterburner or Overdriventool or Wattman... Or whatever you feel like using.

I wish the admins were as helpful and would recover my main account. Been waiting for a week now.

Do yourself (and us) a favour and stay well clear!

I've got 14 Asus RX570 Expedition OC that have been mining 24/7 since April, no failures so far. They're supposedly the cheap Asus cards but have done very well so far.

Maybe it's just their planned upgrade/release cycle. No point in delaying if they are ready (and can hit AMD with another meteor in the face)...

Hey Optiminer, any chance you could fix the Windows miner to allow for multi-GPU configs (nVidia)? Currently it completely saturates the CPU, and ends up crashing the rigs within minutes...

Friend of mine has been setting up a rig... One of his GPUs started to emit a burning smell right off the bat. Probably riser related. Can a faulty riser actually physically damage a GPU? I suppose it could if it's shorting it somehow. Would EVGA accept an rma for this type of damage?

Thanks Lauda.
I need to add that the account was actually banned after I requested it to be unlocked using the security question.

Thus, it should be recoverable/unlockable.

Many thanks
Mike

Thank you for verifying.
I have PM'd both admins.
Hope they can help accordingly.

I have sent this (with the correct email address) to the admins. Hopefully they can help.

Here is the unedited post where I posted that address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.msg20216019#msg20216019


I can provide more posts with reference to this wallet address if necessary.

I sent this to a couple of mods, I'm pasting it here as well for additional visibility.
I realise I am not the only one having this issue, but would appreciate the account being recovered as quickly as possible since I have signature campaigns as well as private conversations ongoing.

Many thanks in advance,
Dragon002 aka Dragonmike

I don't think we did, Phil.
I have sent a pm to two mods with a signed message from my BTC core wallet with the address I've been referring to in posts on this forum. One of the mods told me to send it to another... who himself has written in his signature "I'm not restoring accounts". Back to square one.

It's not the fact that I have to use another account that bothers me, but the fact that I had signature campaign running from my main account. And the status of the account matters a lot when you want to rack in extra coins. And that's regardless of the fact that my account got hacked in the first place (very likely after the forums got pwned).

At the end of the day it's the forum's fault I was hacked, THEY refuse to restore my account, and I have to pay the price. That's pretty lame.

Hello guys,
Phil, feel free to remove this if you want - my main account 'dragonmike' was apparently hacked, and got auto-banned when I tried to recover it using the secret password. Nice feature, that...

As I have posted in here several times, I was hoping some helpful soul would be able to point me to the right way of asking for my account to be restored. I've pm'd hilariousandco, mprep and theymos with signed messages, so far nothing...
