Any intel cpus decent for mining?
I'm fairly new, so just starting to learn what "decent" is, but... I have a Xeon X5675 that was getting ~220 H/s at supportxmr. It's my workstation CPU, so I only ran it in my mining rig for about a week. I took my old server down form the attic and found it had a X5660 which gets about ~194 H/s for roughly the same amount of power that the X5675 was using. If you have a LGA 1366 mobo look for Xeons at ebay, they're dirt cheap right now. |

WARNING! Because the new auto-tune functionality is automatically started if you don't specify -gt parameter, your hashrage will be lower and will fluctuate in the first few minutes while the miner searches for the best GT values for each GPU. If you want to avoid that, you have to specify -gt value on the command-line (or in config.txt). If you want the same behavior as 2.9e, specify -gt 15 (15 is the default value of the GT parameter).
Let us know if you have any problems or questions with the new release.
Will this boost hashrate of 1080 cards to equal the pill? I don't like using the pill, (lack of transparency leads to lack of trust, just sayin') but the increase in hashrate is hard to ignore. |

noobs hush. I may be new around here, but there's nothing new about fools being separated from their money. I've been fooled often enough.  Like I said; best of luck to you. |

I've been watching this for over a month now, with very little temptation to participate. Some thing about the advertising campaign really turned me off. Call me cynical, skeptical, you can even call me paranoid and I won't argue... But I smell a scam. I hope I'm wrong and I wish all of you the best of luck.

I would love me some nice juicy and fat linux version  Yes, but hopefully not that fat  There is some progress on this but no ETA yet, sorry. Yes, please keep it lean. I love windows, shameless about it, too. But for a "process pc" nothing beats a minimalist linux build. |

I'm curious to see what will happen to Whale Coin, Steem, and other social-media-centric coins once FaceBook announces their intentions. I've been reading reports that they have a team working on blockchain technology, but the "why" is unclear.

Has anybody used OhGodAnETHlargementPill with Phoenix? I'm planning on buying a couple of GTX 1080's (hooked on ETH) to add to my rig, and I saw this during a search for expected hash rates. Does it work with Phoenix? Is it stable and safe? Will it affect the longevity of the cards? Thanks.
ETA is obvious I'm a newbie? Have I crossed the line? Splain it me Lucy.

Is there a chance that 3.0 will have dual mine (preferably keccak/blake2s) ?
I do not understand why many people have the dual mining function waiting for phoenixminer 3.0, it is still possible with calymore dual miner. but what do you shoot with dual mining, costs much more energy and also less hashrate for eth and minimal earnings with the second coin.what do you shoot with this.i personally prefer a miner software that is economical with energy and stable works and high hashrate and more schares eth Agreed. I have little experience with mining, but lots tuning PC's with Windows and Ubuntu. I've tried and tried tweaking the settings on both miners. With Claymore's dual miner my ETH hashrate drops 10%, and the additional DCR only makes up for a mere fraction of of the loss. Energy usage is the same regardless of which mining software I use. So, obviously I'm sticking to phoenix. Dual mining, at least Claymore's miner, just don't make cent$. |

Which would you choose, 1070ti or 1080?

Anybody using EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 GAMING GPUs for ETH? I'm currently running Phoenix miner with a pair of 1070s, which are profitable even with my Californicated energy rates. I'm thinking of adding a pair of these since price is reasonable. What's been your experience, hash rate, power consumption, pros and cons? Thanks.

I just switched from Phoenix to see how dual mining will work for me. I'm fairly new to all this, I'm just starting out with a pair of MSI GTX GeForce 1070s (armor.) My ETH hash rate is 30.06MH/S per gpu. That's 2.1MH/S slower than it is with the Phoenix miner. I didn't turn the dev fee off. Is this normal?
Does dual mining make up for the difference in hash rate and dev fee over Phoenix? I'm mining ETH and DCR, and seeing results on my pools' dashboards, so it's working. I guess I'll run it for a couple of days and find out.

Who can say - why sometimes speed 1 of cards drops from 31M to 25M untill restarting miner?
Sometimes it is just Windows messing with one GPU (probably the active one, if you have a display or display-emulating "plug" in it). In such cases the hashrate recovers within few minutes. Yes, this is the active GPU with display connected in it. But speed didn't restores in 5 minutes... It's too long. Average speed drops significunt for me. It's need to do something with that. Until that I'll use Claymore miner, in wich no such problem... I was noticing the same thing with only two GPUs Trying to trouble shoot the issue I swapped their PCI positions and got the same thing, always GPU1. Funny thing is I'm controlling the PC via Remote Desktop Connection, and when I first start RDC both GPUs are running ~32mh/s, then GPU1 drops about two or three mh/s. I suspected the cause due to graphics requirements imposed on GPU1. I installed an old video card in the first PCI slot and moved the Nvidias to positions 2 and 3, and now the issue is non existent. Might be worth a try if you have a spare PCI slot and an old video card.  |

Dr. Phoenix, Thanks a bunch, I'll try that tonight. But mostly I want to thank you for the product. Low fees, great hash rate, and it was easy enough for me to figure out, and I haven't messed with DOS or UNIX commands in years. I won't say how many years, but suffice it to say it's been many. Remove the -proto 1 from your config.txt - minerpool uses eth-proxy stratum protocol, which is the default protocol for PhoenixMiner. |

hashrate with gtx 1070 ?
These are my stable settings: Driver: 391.01 Using MSI Afterburner set as: Core Voltage (%): 0 Power Limit (%): 55 Temp Limit (%): 83 (linked with Power Limit) Core Clock (MHz): -200 Memory Clock (MHz): 635 Is your core clock set to negative 200 mhz? I'm getting similar hash rates with my MSI GTX 1070s, (just two for the time being.) Here are my afterburner settings: Core Voltage: 0% Power: 65% Temp: 67 degrees Centigrade (linked with power) Core Clock: +99 Mem Clock: +650 |

I'm not being impatient... Really, just curious... I mean, been mining all day.
I'm just learning about all this. I kicked off a pair of GTX 1070s at 5:30 am (Pacific.) It's finding shares, but I don't see any action on my address. Am I doing something wrong, or just being impatient? TIA.
.bat looks like this:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

looks fine to me https://ethermine.org/miners/7e67fb8270f7e6e0d20a9598905f7a336106c319/dashboardyou wont see anything in your wallet till you hit 1eth or 1 week of activity..... per your settings tab There it is! Awesome, thanks. I was checking the key on etherchain... yeah, like I said, I'm new to this. |
