No laptop is good for mining.  Its a thermal problem.

Can you explain what exactly this patched is capable of? I believe people can mine ETC with Antminer E3 If they want with no patch since ETC is using same algorithm with Ethereum, Ethash I suppose and now things have even gotten better for ETC miners because 3gb memory is allowed

ETH runs dagger hashimoto
ETC runs modified dagger hashimoto.

Most pool software runs on linux not windows.  You want stability and uptime....so linux is always the answer. 
784  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is BITNAND a legit site? on: January 20, 2021, 02:30:31 PM
And the p104 cards are quite old.  This is between 1070 / 1080 cards.   So not a great thing considering what a 3060ti or 570xt cost about the same and deliver more hash as lower power. 
You are wrong, that Nvidia RTX3060Ti has higher hashrate than a AMD 5700XT, on Minerstat calculator a RTX3060ti can output 60MH per second with power draw of 120watt and a RX5700XT only output 54MH per second with power draw of 91 to 100 watt, the only difference here is the RTX3060Ti is more costly

I was suggesting either of those cards are better than buying two generations  older p104 cards at $399....when you can get current gen cards at about the same price.

3060ti cost me $459
5700xt cost me $399
Price difference is $60

3060ti gives 61mhs / 5700xt give 54 mhs / difference 7mhs in 3060 favor

Power usage at the wall for 5700xt is about 120w....the driver reports only wattage to gpu asic but actuall total wattage is higher for AMD which is around 90-100watts.   3060 uses around 125w as Nvidia driver reports wattage for enitre card.  

Get a killawatt and read rig empty watts, rig +5700 watts, and rig + 3060 watts....then subtract empty rig wattage from both.  This shows clearly that AMD is only reporting watts to GPU asic...and not whole card.  Minerstat shows it that way becuase that is what the average user will see...and most wont actually bother to go and measure.  I run both and actually did the tests prior to buying more.

I still dont see how one can argue for the p104 cards....they are clearly older and slower per hash/watt and at $399 + shipping + tariffs are not going to be cheaper than the two newer gpus.  


785  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminers E3 still alive for ETH? on: January 20, 2021, 01:38:17 PM
Not really
ETC DAG is also over 4GB and pools not accepting the E3s
I cant mine ETC on https://etc.ethermine.org/ as example. All the ASICs are marked with X

Wrong, ETC forked to ETCHash and the DAG is around 2,6Gb.
You can mine ETC with your E3, but need another customfirmware.

You do realize that ETC also changed the algo so it is not the same as ETH any more ... so you will need a new asic.  People keep saying its just firmware but ETC now runs a modified dagger hashimoto.  How are you going to change the actual asic chips?  Firmware wont change the asic chips circuitry.  

CORRECTION

Only requires a firmware upgrade to mine ETC. 
ETC did not change the algo enough to cause asics to be unusable.

Guys when I look at my calculator on Betterhash it looks like I should be getting a lot more profit from ETH or MTP, but when I run the benchmark it seems like I can't get those miners to run, so it does Kawpow/Ravencoin which is costing me a lot.  Is there anything I can do to get those other miners to work, and/or would I make more by mining ETH or MTP without Betterhash?  Here's what the calculation says on their website:


Algorithm   Hashrate   Monthly Income   Monthly BTC Income   Monthly USD Income
XZC - MTP (CCMiner)   1.87 MH/s   10.15748291 XZC   0.00101981 BTC   40.41 USD

Thanks
You can still mine Ethereum with that gtx1050ti using lolminer, if Ethereum is all you got on your mind then try different type of miners cos I'm sure the results will be different

Are you doing this currently or just saying this becaise 1050ti is 4gb.  Ive got several and they havent mined eth in a few weeks.  I can get all the amd 4gb cards to run currently but not the 1050ti...

my only 4gb card is a 1050ti it does not mine eth on any program it does do kawpow



That is why i asked...ive tried for weeks to get them back on eth....nothing.  I think poster will come back and say he is assuming they should.....but same as you.....ive not found a way.  But those cards mined it for a long long time.  They have more than roi’d

by the way, i tried to answer that question about ETC on you thread on bitcointalk. a few minutes later, my post was deleted and my account permanently banned.
i sent them a mail, but 24 hours later, no reaction. that place may not offer a particularly level playing field.

basically three things:
1) i described briefly that the algorithm change of ETC affects only the DAG, not dagger-hashimoto.
2) that our miners do implement ETChash, with a link to our miner page on crazypool as proof.
3) an explanation that most of the machines are in RD, which is why the performance data shown is bumpy.

it is a modified dagger-hashimoto.  It is not the same as ETH.  The changes in Thanos are more than just tge dag size.

Therefore, we use adapters Sata - 6 pins or Sata 4 pins.


And, don't forget, smoke detectors. And speaking of which, fire extinguishers are recommended as well.  Cheesy

Hey guys

Been using phoenixminer and liking it , i’m hashing at 130mhs constantly on nanopool .Barely any stale share . I see my hashrate reported between 120-130 .

Now when i look on whattomine , i shpuld be generating .21 to .24eth a month but i seem to be getting .2 only .

Any of u guys have been in this situation and were able to fix it ?

Thanks

Try mining on a different pool, maybe Ethermine. Having said that I wouldn't say no if more people joined flexpool, it's a small pool with bigger variance but it's worth a shot. The PPLNS window is too long so don't worry about inial estimates being too low, you will be getting full rewards in a couple blocks found by pool and you will keep on receiving after you leave for a couple of blocks found.

I could not like the Ethermine pool.
While the my miner softwares cannot find any errors, Ethermine shows bad shares on the site

Then pick another ETH pool...if you get similar results the issues not the pool.  I can go between nano & ethmine and not see any real difference in payout.  Sounds like you have an issue as Ethermine is showing bad shares.  Nano may not report them but that doesnt mean they are not occuring.  I generally earn more than Whattomine states for my hasih power.  I also regularly earn slightly more than the estimate on ethermine.  

Are you on 5.4c PhoenixMiner?  Bad internet connection?

Pools if properly functioning (ie able to hit blocks) will very much equal out over time.  The key is to find one you like and have reasonable connection speed.  What coins you mine will depend on your hardware and what coins you may want to mine and hodl if you think they will go up.  Best to speculate early on a coin then later.

It may surprise you how much hardware and time and effort it take to mine a decent amount of coins.  Mining is best done when prices are low.....when prices are up like now..its best for miners who have been building up bags to cash some out. 

Mining is more of a marathon. 
793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How do you diversify your mining portfolio? on: January 18, 2021, 04:48:25 PM
Not sure why you would do all this instead of figuring out what is the most profitable coin for you to mine and then just stick it all on a pool.  This isnt like trading....this is mining.
794  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help me to mine Ethereum on: January 18, 2021, 12:32:30 AM
Do try downloading nicehash miner, it's the best for newbies who are new to crypto mining and everything, it doesn't requires to be a pro or tech savvy to configure, this miner is capable of searching the best settings and the most profitable coin for your cards, you only need to insert your wallet address

i think nicehash cheating.thats why I'm looking any other solution  

I started out using NiceHash. It helped me learn quite a bit about mining. As I acquired more cards, I moved on to other software, but I still use NiceHash on a few machines. It is quick to set up and start mining.

now what is the software use for mining?
https://2miners.com/blog/claymores-ethereum-miner-stops-working-best-alternatives/

"Phoenix Miner 5.1c
Ethminer 0.19.0
Gminer 2.29
T-Rex 0.18.2
NBMiner 32.1
Bminer 16.3.1

How to choose the best Ethash mining software? Conclusion
Our experiment shows that the best mining software for Nvidia is T-Rex and gminer, for AMD – Teamredminer and lolMiner.

Mining programs don’t overstate their hash rates. You can choose software that provides stable operation with the highest hash rate in the miner window. The developer fee shouldn’t be the first thing to consider when choosing mining software. Don’t go for ethminer just because it doesn’t charge a fee.

The results of our experiment are not 100% accurate. Mining programs operate differently depending on graphics cards you use. Plus, mining luck is an important factor. Some mining programs may have had more luck than others in our experiment. Think independently and don’t trust the rumors. Only you can choose the best mining software tailored to your configuration."

Tnx dear.i was try to as you told me.but i was stuck in settings up my ring details and wallet address.
this is the software i was downloaded : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.0
may o know is this available any dashboard like nicehash.
Phoenix miner is just like claymore miner and others, it has no dashboard like nicehash, if you are looking for mining softwares that have dashboard for miners I will drop few names down below

1. Minerstat
2. Minergate
3. Betterhash
4. Simplemining
These miners are good for newbies who can't do mining configurations and manual editing of pools and ports/ip collections themselves, all they requires is your wallet address and few tab clicking, the miner even sync to find out the best algorithm for your mining rigs

Thankyou very much!!! but i like to know how to do pool editing mining configuration without these software. do you know any youtube channel or some document to prefer?if any please suggest me.Thank you again.

Go to a pool loke 2miners or nanopool or ethermine...they have step by step how to info.

Here are high quality switches

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Loggers-EPCR3-Ethernet-Power-Controller/233854644649?

if you use simple mining you can look at your gear from all over the world.

you can sign into that pc and look at the switches and turn them on or off.


It is more costly as it monitors power use on each rig.

It is basically a remote pdu with meters for each of its 8 sockets


It allows any rig or asic up to 12 x 240= 2880 watts per plug

grand total of 24 x 240 = 5760 watts

It does more than simple  miner rig resetter does.

Looking at specs of what appears to be the current model of this switch (EPCR7) https://www.digital-loggers.com/epcr7spec.pdf

It has 4 "pairs" of managed plugs on each of two circuits - an A circuit and a B circuit.  I'm trying to understand the electrical math.  The spec sheet I linked to says it can do 30amps, 3600 Watts.  But I thought that 30amps = 7200 watts? 

Each Rig I plan to build has a target of 440 watts - CPU plus 3 GPUs.  I am hoping that I can eventually run 12 Rigs on one 30amp dedicated circuit for a total draw of 5280 Watts.  But I can't figure out if I can run this on the EPCR7 (6 rigs on A circuit and 6 rigs on B circuit).  Or if I would need two of them to do it. 

Note it is 208-240v...240x30=7200w
796  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: smoke detector on: January 18, 2021, 12:27:30 AM

Current rig has 2 corsair PSU using the 2 pin Y cable as you posted earlier.
main PSU that is 850 W is powering the Mobo and 3 GPUs and their risers. Other CPU that is 1000W is powering remaining 4 GPU and its risers.
I want to replace the SATA cables with the PCIE cables.
So both PSU would have 4 6-Pin and 1 8-Pin slots available at back.
Ideally if I could find a wire with 6-Pin at one end and PCIE at the other end it would be great.
I want to avoid using server PSU as they are noisy.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Well the other option is the TRIPLE PSU adapter....works just like the 2....same rules apply....only a single psu for mobo or any gpu/riser.  As the movie lines go....”Do not cross the streams!”  Smiley

Im not sure how loud you think server psus are...they are a bit louder due to smaller size fan.  They make a bit more noise but as you look at 3 psus their fans usually arent silent either..and i can tell you on big rigs with 13 cards the gpu fans make more noise thean anything else....13-39 fans buzzing away makes some noise.  The server psu is the least expensive way to add a lot of power which is why a lot of folks use them.  Currently PSU prices are like gpu prices...silly.

Do you think I could just use a 8-Pin PCIE and just use 6 pins to power up riser? This way one 8-Pin takes care of 2 of the Risers ?


An 8pin is good for 288w.  Stay within the limit and will be fine..  if each riser draws 75 watts max you could power 3 risers from one 8pin.  75x3=225w..limit is 288w.
797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: smoke detector on: January 17, 2021, 05:58:41 PM

You can use a second psu if your first one is out of connectors...or near its limit on total power...but you need to follow a few basic rules for dual psu.... (atx psus...likewhat you are using now)

You can use a 2pin y cable that will start both psus at same time.  like this...  https://www.amazon.com/Qaoquda-Power-Supply-Adapter-Motherboard/dp/B078W4H16S/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dual+psu+y+cable&qid=1610902119&sr=8-1

You must connect all mobo connections to one psu... (cpu / molex )

Each gpu & riser must be from the same psu.  Never gpu from psu 1 and riser its on connected to psu 2....that is a nono.

Thats pretty much it.

You can also do it with your psu (again only it hooked to motherboard)
Then power gpus/riser combos until the psu1 is full.  Again never combine psus to a gpu/riser combo.

Then for second psu you can use something like a server psu with a break out board....

And you will have a lot of 6 and 6+2 connectors and 1200ws added to your rig.

Have a read of this thread I made regarding 1080ti hash rate.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289066.msg55586229#msg55586229

In short: Google Nvidia TLB bug to see why 1080ti and 1070 drops speed each and every epoch by a very small amount.

Add “on ETH” and your statement is true.
On ETC your statement is not true the way you stated it.


And to poster above...Aion is not more profitable on 1080ti then ETH.  Eth beats it by a whole dollar more a day.  $2.72 vs $1.51 currently.  Eth is the winner of all races currently.
