On a sidenote, since we're talking about power, my provider here in London (British Gas) was going to increase prices to over £0.16/KWh (that's US$ 0.22!)... so I'm in the process of switching. That'll bring me back down to £0.11 ($0.15). Every little helps!
That's interesting, I've been on £0.1282 with BG, they now want £0.16 as they did from you. Best I've been quoted is £0.1321 ($.18) from Scottish Power ... out of interest, who are you switching to?

Just wondering if anyone has been paid yet?
Antpool has removed any reference to ERC20, and so far I have not received any payments (like most people I imagine?).
If they have now moved to paying in BTM, we'll need to change the wallet address ... and what then happens to ERC20 'pending' payments I wonder.
Love you Bitmain, thanks for the continued support and transparency about your 'new' pool.

Keep the thread going for sure, a lot of people find it very useful (Although we are well past 'New Year' now).  I've been gradually selling a lot of my GPUs over the past few weeks, shifted over fifty 1070 Minis, with good profits as resale is still good. They sold for more than they cost, so 'free' mining from them. As for the 1080ti cards and others, not sure, still on the fence deciding what to do with those. You have to run your mining efforts as a business, and my gut told me it was time for a change. It would have taken around 10 months to mine what they sold for. I don't want to enter/start yet another ASIC debate, but with Bitmain and others cracking nearly all of the Algos, it's just the pace and evolution of the business. Nothing lasts forever, and I'm happy to move on and try things another way. I'm sort of hoping 'programmable' miners come to reality this year. In some respects Baikal have set the ball rolling as they add new algos now and then to existing machines. It would be SO INTERESTING to know exactly what all these manufacturers have on the test bench, let alone live in the data hall ... but as consumers we only learn the facts after they have almost bled the system dry before they decide to retail them. UK power costs keep going up, wish I had access to solar or better deals, but long term we are stuffed over here and increases in electricity of 5% once or twice a year are not uncommon. So ... for me it's re-focus time. Embrace the likes of the Z9 (putting algo forks/changes/ASIC resistance aside), realise profit from the hardware I have, buy some more coins and hodl. As the saying goes 'give it a year' ... and the landscape will have settled in a different way to what we have been used to. Looking forward to new more efficient GPU/ASIC/FPGA hardware coming out in the months ahead, I'll be buying back in I hope. (And yes, I dropped a BIG bollock buying the B3, should have known better, but at 310w power consumption (so my meter says) it's a 'punt', just the way mining the likes of Raven have been. HODL over time will tell).

I just wish we had more pools to choose from, this whole Bytom B3 mining experience so far has been a cluster fuck for sure.
ViaBTC said they were opening a BTM pool once the mainnet was running, but as yet it hasn't shown up. I've not had problems with that pool in the past.
It would be nice to have a European pool so latency can be reduced, it feels like we aren't quite getting the rewards we should with all those discarded shares mounting up.

OK, so I've upgraded both my SRR boards, reset all the rigs and all looks good. A small problem ... I would like to use the notes feature to label each rig ... but can't use it as I keep getting an error: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I may be wrong...but I think? you can only mine it on antpool (bitmain's pool) others? brad
I found this snippet of info earlier: "Apart from the cooperation with Bitmain, Bytom also signed cooperation contract with 8 wallet service provider: Kushen, imToken, Bitpie, Bixin, Kcash, Cobo, Bepal, Hufu and 9 mining pools: Ant pool, F2pool, BTCC, Spider pool, UUPOOL, Xiamen pool, Poolin, 91POOL and Viabtc."

I'm running nothing but 1070/1070ti + 1080ti cards on all my rigs, but got a bit frustrated about the rip-off charges for new cards at present, so just bought x6 1050ti cards for a new rig. Using Simple Mining OS, mining Equihash, Core 110, Memory 800, Power 100 and getting 1020sols at 440 watts. It's not great when you looks at the sols per watt (compared to my other rigs), but the rig is earning. But these cards are cheap, so that kinda makes me feel better  I'll see if I can tweak it a bit when I get the time. ... waits patiently for prices to come back down to earth again ...

I guess im wondering why the board needs extra power if the cards are not receiving any power from the PCI slots. Seems like they are just there as left overs (or an option) from before there were powered risers. Manual says they need to be connected but seems like old info.
I'm running lots of these boards, all using powered risers with no extra power to the molex connectors to the board - all running sweetly with no issues. If you see the warning notice to power the boards from the BIOS screen, just press 'n' and ignore it.

Is there any news from adding new dstm's mimner to SMOS. Even it has %2 dev fee, for 1060 it is %3-4 faster then EBWF's miner.
It was added earlier today, switched a few rigs over to it ... looks like I might have to tweak a few OC settings as its continually resetting the server difficulty level and few cards are stopping. The console read-outs in SMOS look a little weird at times. Tytanick also added an updated Claymore miner.

Also, I have near 100% uptime every since using SRR system - worth every penny that system - sleeping well again.
@ Citronick Posted a question on the SRR thread but no reply, maybe you can tell/advise me? I'm in the process of moving all my rigs to SMOS, received a SRRv2 (not plugged in/tried it yet) which will do 8 rigs, but I have 11 rigs on SMOS at the moment. The expansion board will obviously add 32 rigs when it's available. If I bought another SRRv2 to cater for rigs 9 to 11, will it work OK, or will they clash with each other and not work? I see you need to enter the serial number of SRR when setting up the system, so I'm 'assuming' if I was running two SRRs with different serials, all would be OK?
