Its been a long time since I've visited this thread!

I recently switched energy provider to one that gives cheaper electric for 4 hours overnight between 0030 and 0430 so I can charge my Nissan Leaf cheaply.

The rate for those 4 hours is 5p or 6.5c/kWh compared to 14p or 18c normally, conversion as I'm in the UK!

In this position would you bother to mine during those 4 hours? I sold up all my GPUs and PSUs in 2018 apart from one 1070 and one 1060 3gb in two gaming rigs. I still have a 6 GPU motherboard.

Thanks for reading my pondering, and thoughts appreciated

Discord link has expired.

Complete FUD. There are people impersonating the main developer, the real dev even made an announcement post about it on Discord! Just check their ID # and you will see they are not the same person.

Definitely an interesting project, if you guys can pull of a faster more reliable version of Cryptobridge then you will be on to a winner.

I'm all NVidia these days and all in RVN. Sitting on around 70000 at the moment, just long hodl waiting for the next pump and I'll sell some

Enemy is definitely faster, I'm not sure exactly how much, some have mentioned a 20% figure? That might be a tad optimistic I think, but it was definitely worthwhile for me to swap from 2.2.5, although that is only over 3 rigs.

How about -i 20? Seems to get a little more hash and is stable for me on enemy-1.03. I didn't test -i 19 that thoroughly though.

https://rvnstats.info/ <- Might be useful, plenty of information.

Mining pool stats, suprnova is the biggest. I also used yiimp but 2% fee there so swapped to suprnova who charge 1%. I havn't checked out the rest, but happy with suprnova for now so will stick with them.

Also mining RVN, and have bought 0.3 BTC worth, great coin and algorithm. Price has been rising fast over the last week and rightly so.

I'm mining on rvn.suprnova.cc and Crypto-Bridge is the only exchange it trades on at the moment, its a bit slow but works fine, looking forward to the bigger exchanges picking it up.

Baikal N news has prompted me to try and offload my last 2 Vegas. Going to keep plugging away on ZEC with 7x 1060s and 2x 1070s for now, was pointed at Nicehash but fancy a change after the recent income drops!

Anyone still running Vegas?

Cryptonight difficulty on Nicehash seems pretty high now so profitability has dropped off quite a bit since in the last couple months.

I have 2x56 and 1x64, but have just sold the 64 for £710 (~$1000). While the prices are jacked I'm going to try and offload them.

I'm just keeping my eyes peeled for good second hand deals at the moment. New prices here in the UK are just too high on what little stock there is!

I'm only on 12 GPUs now so small fry compared to you guys. The recent dip in BTC also came at a bad time as I was looking to cash out 0.2 BTC of earnings, but I guess I don't need the money and as there are no cards to buy, HODL it is!

Just feeling like we're stuck in limbo at the moment, with crypto taking a dip and cards being out of stock. Looking forward to Volta.

Just thought I would add my thoughts and experience of the Onda D1800 BTC 6 GPU riserless board with integrated CPU.

Free delivery from China to the UK took just under 1 month, so as expected really. The price for express postage was pretty steep for just one board so I thought I would just wait a bit longer. Price was £96 which I think is really good, but there was an offer on at the time and the seller I bought from no longer has stock.

The board it self looks to be good quality, includes one short yellow sata cable with a 90 and straight connector. Two things of note, the GPU spacing is a little closer than I was expecting. Cooling for me is fine at the moment as its winter and the ambient of 5c in my garage really helps! I've wedged my Asus Dual cards apart as I don't have any GPU support at the moment and the fans might touch the back of the adjacent card. For summer I would like to support the GPUs to keep the spacing uniform and also to mount some fans along the back of the cards to pull out heat.

The second thing is the stamp on the board reads Onda D1800 BTC Ver:1.00, however a sticker between the last two PCIE slots containing the serial no. reads Onda D1800 BTC Ver:2.00. I'm more likely to believe the sticker so I think this is the version 2 board. I also note the advert I bought from showed photos without a VGA port, but mine does have a VGA port which I prefer.

For the power supply I am using an ATX PSU, EVGA 750w GQ - note other have had issues which lead to returning them so I won't buy any more. I have 2x molex connected on one branch, 1x molex with sata adapter and 1x sata connected on another branch, then the remaining 2 sata connectors on one branch each. Ideally I wouldn't have used the sata adapter but I feel its better to use that than 3x molex from one branch.

For graphics cards I am currently using 3x 1060 3gb and plan to get 3 more. Variants are 2x Asus Dual and 1x Asus Phoenix mini card. The PSU has 6x 6+2 PCIE connectors so that works out well.

Setup was an absolute breeze, I just plugged in all the power cables, 4gb 1600mhz 1.35v DDR3L sodimm stick, dropped in all 3 GPUs, plugged in a USB stick with SMOS on it, ethernet and monitor to the HDMI on the first GPU (should have used the on board VGA). Turned on the power switch on the PSU and the motherboard beeped, then sprung in to life. GPU fans fired up 30s later so assumed it was starting to mine. I didn't get any display on the screen from the HDMI on the first GPU, so tried the other GPUs but no dice. I then plugged in to the on board VGA and bingo, there was SMOS console mining away happily!

I didn't need to do any BIOS update or tweak any settings, literally just plug and play. You cant ask for better than that! Logged on to my SMOS account, set up the worker name and overclocks to +100 core, +350 mem, power at 80w and 60% minimum fan with 70c target. This gives me 270-280 sols per 1060 3gb on DSTM equihash, pointed at Nicehash for now.

Power draw when mining is 265w, very good I think, assuming 80w per card that's 25w system power draw.

Temps with 5c ambient and no additional fans were 55c for the back card Asus Dual (worst airflow), 45c for the middle card Asus Dual, and 37c for the front card Asus Phoenix mini.

Overall impressions is very good, I will be looking to buy more for expansion when £££ permits

Hey Vosk, love the videos, Tails No.1 fan here, hope she is feeling good now!

I'm running an almost 'trio' rig (2 cards on board 1 on riser, Z270P-D3) 2x Vega 56 and 1x Vega 64 I managed to pick up for less than $500 each. They have been super profitable for me at this price and already nearing ROI. I just followed the steps on this site and make sure to keep the power limit down, they're all over 1900H/s, running mid 50s temps and around 2000-2200 rpm fan speed so not loud like a lot of people say. I havn't messed around with BIOS flashing or power table changes. I thin kI might be able to drop power consumption a bit but around 600w for 5750H/s is fine for me.

Good luck with your setup and I look forward to the video on them! By the way you should get CryptoChick in more videos as well as Tails, we like to see the VoskCoin family together

OK good to know, I already have one so will see how I get on with that one, but I won't buy another Considering 1070Tis for the 6 gpu onda board too, so I'd have to pick a different PSU in that case.

Thanks guys, great help  wishing you all a prosperous 2018!

Correct, it has 2 single head and 2 double head for the pcie strings, I already have one of the units powering 2 Vega 56 and 1 Vega 64.

I think should should be fine to power the 1x6 pin on each of the 6 1060 3gbs.

So if only using max 2x sata or molex per string, I am 1 molex connection short, unless I use a sata to molex adapter from a spare sata string?

I'm got one of the Onda 6 gpu boards with integrated CPU on the way, and need to get a power supply for it to power 6x 1060 3gbs.

I was thinking about using one of these EVGA 750w GQs https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=210-GQ-0750-V1

Its got the 3x molex I need for the board, plenty of sata and 6x 6+2 pin connectors for the GPUs. Also 750w should be fine right? My other 1060s are pulling around 80-90w so seems like I'll sit around 80% utilisation.

My other thought is the one molex branch with 3x connections going to handle powering 3 slots? And should I run all 3 sata off one branch?

Unfortunately not, it will take me another 4-5 days to hit the 0.0105 minimum withdrawal. Hopefully they won't 'lose' that BTC before then
