Can this dual mining mode be used with non-lhr cards? Are the hashrates higher?

Bunch of misinformation in here. The pcie slot is rated for 75w, unless there is something wrong with the voltage balancing on the card it will never go above this. Typically power draw at lower loads, even on a 3090, isn't going to exceed 60w when mining on a properly undervolted card. I've run sata on all kinds of cards over the years with all kinds of algos, including a bunch of 1080tis, 2080tis, 3080s and 3090s with 0 issues. Few simple rules if you do this.
1. Never ever daisy chain. 1 card per cable.
2. High quality PSU with good cables. Cheap PSU with cheap high gauge cables? Don't do it.
3. Never use extensions
That said, you're better off powering them with molex or pcie connectors for added safety as those cables will have higher gauge wire and can handle more power. Often upwards of double the spec if they're quality cables. Don't cheap out on power delivery for mining. DYOR.

Controlled ac is not bad if your profits are not hit because of it however one must be very careful here, most fire hazards happen because of ac and its damage, so if you have many alarms telling you how the room temperature is and have tools to stop if failures.
I'm against ac because the way I see is better be safe than sorry, although I'm not a miner, I believe there should be always a second route in case something goes wrong, so you can have exhaust fans but make a second air through in case even if the exhaust fan stops working, you trolls must be careful here, could burn the whole house because of this.
This applies to any mining setup, not just those cooled with AC. |

AC is fine if you have cheap electric and no other option. I use a 2 ton mini split to cool 3ghs. I wasn't willing to cut holes in my roof or walls for an ambient cooling setup. Would need to revisit late 2018 mining for my income to go into the red vs electric cost.

Its the best time to mine if you can sustain it. Money is made during the bear cycle not bull.

I ran evaporative cooling with my mine from 2017-2019 when I lived in the mountains. Worked extremely well due to the dry climate and I never had issues due to the humidity in the room but I made sure I had good ventilation. I moved since then to a much hotter and humid climate. I'm using AC to cool my mine, on the absolute hottest days its probably costing me around $4/day to run since its summer. We would need to revisit late 2018 for my profits to go negative.
FYI the best cooling setup is just fans moving cool air from the outside in and hot air out if your climate and property can support it.

Interestingly enough I will be on the 1559 panel in two weeks so if anyone has some good talking points let me know. As a miner I am definitely against lowering my income so my intent is to push for a compromise. We likely will have to give a little but I think they are open to compromise to avoid a large backlash. I think the EF is shocked that miners are speaking up as they are probably used to us being silent. I do find it amazing that a lot of people are talking about how miners are making a lot right after ETH holders are experiencing a 20x+ return on investment in 1 year. I'm not even at a 2x return on my equipment purchase from July-Oct 2020. Its also pretty sad that a lot of saying miners are being greedy and we need 1599 to reduce fees or ETH prices will collapse despite one of the EF devs making a post stating that "1559 will not decrease fees". My technical knowledge is lacking so I will be cramming everything in for the next two weeks. The youtube link to the panel is below. https://youtu.be/EdXhL6VR0mUI'm in agreement that something needs to be done about the tx fees on the network and EIP-1559 is a good solution to that with a compromise. Allow EIP-1559 to go through but raise the block reward to at least 3 ETH and delay the diff bomb until the network is ready to transition to POS without mining. Until then they need miners, if they ignore us and shove it through as is I hope the network forks and causes havoc. Another thing to bring up, this was always a GPU minable coin and a large number of miners aren't running huge farms to just dump the coin on the market. Many miners are investors. I may never have gotten into crypto if it weren't for ETH. I'm not selling, instead hodling long term because I believe in ETH. I'm just eating the electric, infrastructure, and equipment costs I have incurred. |

Algo for FPGA. This will hurt gpu mining even more by moving gpu miners off that coin onto something else.
But it takes time to make bitstreams to FPGA or to create Asics, they are doing this to prevent 51% atacks, they will need the community to achieve this, not only big miners Throughput comparison graphic in the article shows a xilinx FPGA running various algos including keccak256. It'll be a matter of month if not less before the network is controlled by FPGA. Given that its a large enough coin, bitstreams will be developed while its on the testnet. ASICs will follow within a year. This change does nothing for gpu miners. Just another fpga/asic mined shitcoin. |

i would really like to use this miner but there is no way that i can until api access is enabled. I need it for remote monitoring of rigs. Please enable this feature in a future release.
Hi, did you try -b 127.0.0:4068 or --api-bind 127.0.0:4068? This should enable the API for miner-monitoring - and as far as I know it works with some of the monitoring software out there. Which software do you use? I use eth monitoring. I had been trying to use --api-bind 0.0.0.0:4068 since that usually works for most miners but it returns an error and the miner won't start with yours. 127.0.0.0:4068 runs without issue but is not recognized by eth monitoring. Hi- sorry, my bad. it should read 127.0.0.1 for localhost. Let me know if that works. I can add 0.0.0.0 to be localhost for a future release. That unfortunately doesn't get it to work with localhost, however i got it running by pointing the software at 127.0.0.1:4068  I'm going to switch all my rigs over today, thanks for the help. |

9 rigs, 66 gpus, 60/40 split 1070ti/1080ti, $.09/kwh for electric. Mining shitcoins, still profitable.

Yes it might be profitable at $0.10/kwh but to what extent?
When 80% of all your profit is going to electricity is it really worth mining?
I did the calculation and most have the RX 470/570 which uses like 130 Watts so at $0.10/kwh you make about $0.12/day.
However after fees, bank fees, errors, GPU downtime, etc you probably end up making a nickel per GPU. Is it really worth mining for that much?
at .10/kwh roughly 40-50% of your income goes to electricity if you know how to optimize your mining rigs properly. This of course depends on the algo you're mining but most will fall in that range. The market would need to drop another 50% or so from current levels while nethash remains the same to hit breakeven. That includes all the fees incurred for exchanging to USD. I've looked at this pretty closely in recent months because if it happens i'll shut down my mine and if it stays low for more than a month i'll sell the equipment. I am not sure which GPU you are referring to. But with an RX 470 which hashes at around 28Mhs nets about 0.40 profit where 0.30 is electricity cost alone. Not sure how the 1080ti fares but with those your main issue is to ROI the GPU first so you got more issues to worry about than just the GPU cost. My mine is roughly a 50/50 split of 1070tis and 1080tis. My equipment is paid off and has been since March. I wouldn't try to buy equipment right now if you haven't paid off whatever you have currently. |

You must have really high electric rates. At $.095/kwh its still profitable for me but i'm not selling. Now is the time for accumulation.

let me know when those are $500 and i might be interested

f) chasing the dragon is bad idea: I spent months mining new coins trying to chase the next pump. Bad idea, the only good coin I mined that mooned was GIN coin and I sold it 10x cheaper than its ATH. It would have been better for me to just mine ETH with the pill or any other oldschool/popular coin (as equihash before the ASICs). disagree, mining new shitcoins made me a lot of money this past year and continues to do so. You have to know what you're doing otherwise you will earn less. I was earning 300-500% more than just mining ETH or ZEC late last year and into the first 4-5 months of this year. |

anyone have a comparison for phi2 poolside (bsod) hashrate vs spmod #4 reported hashrate?
Also, hashrates @ 50% PL for the 1080 ti and 1070 ti if you have them would be appreciated
I bought the original phi spmod which ended up being a good investment, considering getting the phi2 miner

please add api access to the miner. I will not use miners that do not have it.
