I am running a mining farm based on Whatminers M20S. We need a custom firmware for the Whatsminer m20s and possibly a partner that will provide support for further ASIC we will decide to use in our operation.

The features we are looking for currently are the following:

-Fan mangement (change rmp speed)
Overclock:
   -Voltage management
   -Frequency management
- Mining management (start/stop)
- Expose values readed by whatsminer tools (power consume, ...)
-API to manage all this requirements


If someone is interested could send me a PM

Do you know what's the maximum power that can be drawn from the included PSU?  (I was that this is rated for 3350W, looking for the real number)
Is there any room for overclocking? Given the extremely high efficiency it could be worth it

Any new update regarding the Roadmap?

They also made customers rich with Sia 

Actually, I have tried to mine with the CPU wallets, which seems to start mining on the testnet.
Anyway, since that I suppose that Equihash with this params is very likely to be waaay faster on GPUs it will pretty useless to do so.

BEAM is one of the two main projects (along with GRIN) that are implementing MimbleWimble to obtain a privacy focus scalable blockchain.
IMHO both of them are very interesting, even though I personally prefer GRIN, and they are waking up old good miners.

I have been able to retrieve some information on the official GitHub page here: https://github.com/BeamMW/beam/wiki/BEAM-Mining
The windows miner which is supposed to do GPU mining seems not to have the GPU mining option. (I didn't spend much time trying)

The main net should start in days, so it's time to warm up our mining rigs.
What are the mining pools available? Which is the best NVidia miner available to the public?

I would like to use this thread to share information related to BEAM mining.
Share your thoughts and experience

Is it crashing completely, meaning that you have to physically unplug it to restart or the web interfaces/ssh remain available?
 

Hi everyone,

I am interested in buying Bitmain coupons of any size greater or equal to 100$. I can also buy batches of coupons if available.
Payment in BTC / ZEC / XMR / ETH or any currency I can shapeshift to.

Please note that I WILL ACCEPT ONLY PAYMENTS WITH ESCROW.

PM me if interested,

Best regards,
Ambros

Thanks for the sources of good information.
Since the topic is not too crowded it was easy to get read it all and get an overall view about where things are going.

Right now ETH profitability is getting lower and lower because all the nvidia cards which used to mine Equihash are turning to Dagger Hashimoto.
The situation is still pretty fine for ASICs and FPGA mining farm, but I think that it's deep winter for people that bought GPUs in late 2017 or early 2018.

The thing is scaring me most is the absence of a good PoW powered project. Everyone seems to believe that the best way (actually is just the simplest and cheapest) to launch a crypto project is doing an ICO and live in ETH or start with ERC20 and swap for a DPOS coin afterward. Seems that no one is actually interested in decentralization (which is the main reason to stay here).

Is anyone aware of a good PoW powered project that is worth supporting?

The longer the time goes, the smaller is the chance that something will actually be released.

p.s. I would love to be proved wrong.

You can download nicehash and start mining automagically if you have just one card.

Otherwise you can use your own pool, you can find a few profitable coin that you can mine on http://pool.sexy


BTW This forum is fulfilled with useful information, you should read it and avoid questions like this one

Those cards were pretty good. I have some rigs based on that architecture in my mining operations and they run just fine for months.
Regarding the price, 2400 since a medium-high price if we consider just the hardware, this changes if it is an already built one since it prices also the ability and time to build it.

Right now I would not buy it because:
- Next generation of GPUs will come out in a few months (probably we will have it on our farms around September)
- FPGA rumors about every GPU algorithm are getting stronger
- ASICs for many GPU algorithms are being released faster than ever

I would be happy to read different/opposite opinions and discuss about pro and cons

This is probably April's fool, but I strongly believe that ASIC will come soon to the market.

At the beginning of ETH many people were claiming that the algorithm was not ASIC proof and that building this kind of hardware was affordable and convenient.
I am not an hardware expert, but considering those claims and the recent rumors, the change they are real is very high

Hi Guys! One of the mail killer fee of this miner is obviously the dual mining.

My farm is based on 1070 and 1050ti. I am currently dual mining XVG (blake2s). What are you guys doing?

Also, I will not disclose the name of the pool because it would be advertising,  but I am getting on average 50% of what calculators say I should get. Any similar experience or any pool that is acting in a more fair way?

I noticed that the connections to smOS, both web interface, and os-server, are using an expired SSL certificate. This is a potential security thread and therefore those connections are blocked by many firewalls.

Is anyone having problems lately?
My dashboard is stuck since days and it seems that it is not able to update any data.
This is the situation for a few days.

The topic seems quiet so I suppose that this is due to my firewall.

That definitely possible.
BTW  I strongly believe that this huge difficulty increase in the last months is due to alt crash.
For quite a while during 2017 ETH was not the best coin to mine, there were plenty of scam coins with much higher profitability.

Right now the market seems to get closer to fair value, so all those dummy projects are slowly going down, making ETH the best coin to mine again.
Basically everyone is mining ETH right now.

Hi! I do have plenty of those cards.
Right now you will get more mining Ethash based algorithm. You will reach top performances on that algorithm with core -400 and mem +800. I personally set the power limit to 60W

With this settings, you will hash around 15Mhash.
Also you could mine some medium size coin, with a possible price increase in the future.
My advice is to mine ELLA on http://ella.pool.sexy/

I read the whole thread, but I did not find any hashrate for 1050ti cards.
Can someone share its values?

Also, no one is talking about temperatures/energy consumption. Do the two miners use the same amount of energy?

This is a crucial factor for me

There is no correct or right way to set the fan speed.
I have many cards from 2014 that are still running with an average temperature of 85 degrees. And they never had a problem.

Byt if you wanna be more careful you can trust Nvidia and use the temperature they advise, so 75 degrees.
I personally set the minimum fan speed to 50% because I want to avoid driver related problems

Best answer ever!
