Id check with your power company since you already have a significant investment before you spend anymore (im sure you have but better safe than sorry). Not sure where you live/laws there..but what your doing is illegal in most states, and all it takes is a neighbor to snitch on you and theyll shut you down fast. Just an FYI since I know alot of people that have build garage farms and found out the hard way, and its a good thing to know for new people thinking about doing the same.
Anything past 10-20 KW continuous in a residential zone is a red flag and youll get investigated eventually.
What do you think they will do to me? Why would it be illegal? I'm not growing weed. I've been over 20KW for over 2yrs. I'm not concerned. My 400 AMP is also on a 2nd meter, so if I have to switch to Commercial, no big deals. Hmmmm........................I also know a lot of garage farmers who are well over the 20KW range with no issues. What law would prevent me from using over 10-20KW when I'm paying for it not stealing free power? What law is preventing me from having 5 Teslas and Teslas Power walls that will pull those wattage? I'm not doing anything illegal so I'm not concern. Why would they approve my 400 AMP if I'm not allowed to use it? Don't forget the city approves the permit and the Electric company have to certify and accept it, plus PLUG my wires into the their transformer. What about the large mansions? 10KW is nothing and 20KW is not hard to hit to keep large Mansion cool and pools running. So you're telling me they will approve all that just to say "SORRY sir but you're only allowed to use up to 50-100 AMP out of your standard home that is equipped from the builder of 150 AMP? You do realize that 100 AMP @ 220V is over 20KW right? Just 50 Amps on 220V is over your 10KW concern. Please show me a legal case that say it's illegal to use more than 10-20KW of Power? I dont buy this urban legend as there's so many home miners that are pushing over 50 amps easily at home without issues. 10-20KW is nothing. I'm going to be pushing over 70KW soon. I do believe they will be curious and come checking to see if there is a Meter failure which they did for my house. FBI can scan via helicopters for Weed growers, grow lights have different wave lengths then mining gears. Please stop all this Urban legend myths to SCARE people. P.S Texas law is prepping to allow people to grow weed like in Colorado. Now I can supplement my slowing mining income. Please stop spreading fake rumors and put some facts behind stuff rather like I know a guy who knows a guy type of story. http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/10-facts-about-Texas-new-law-licensing-low-THC-6762270.phpIm not spreading any Urban Myths lol...like I said Im helping other users here so they dont fall into any issues...your power company obviously approved it and they dont care. As for legal case, just check your local zoning laws. What you are essentially doing is running a commercial operation in a residential area which is illegal in most towns and carries penalties/fines. Just because you have a 400 amp service does not mean your power company expects you to use 400 amp 24/7. There are zoning laws for a reason, and thats why there is not a steal factory in the middle of your community. Of course thats an extreme case, but same applies when your running 100's of killowats of basically server grade equipment in your garage for profit. I can almost 100% garuantee if your town found out you would at the very least get a fine. And no Im not pulling this out of my ass I own my own physical business and know how much of a bitch zoning laws are. Again 90% of home mining people do this will never apply, just a warning if you think your going to run a data center in your house and think no one is going to notice or cause issues in the future. |

Once I had this issue and via troubleshooting, swapped to a Corsair PSU BOOM, one of my RX470 exploded!!!! by any chance this explosion sounded like a "loud cracking of the whip" ? I got something like that awhile back.... but after inspection of all rigs... seems business as usually ... what could it be? I think so many of those cards are exploding the msi Rma team cant even replace them with the same units i just sent back 5 msi frozer 470s that fried on me and msi wants to send me back 4 Msi armor 1070/ 8gb my cards were all 4gb but i dont like 1070s for mining not sure if i should accept wait your saying MSI wants to send you back 4 1070s instead of your 5 470 and your contemplating accepting?? You can buy EIGHT 470s by selling 4 1070s... |

Has nothing to do with miners...pascal is based on the bitcoin algo (its essentialy two bitcoin hashes in one with some other changes). The core kernel has been optimized to hell since bitcoin GPU days, so the reason your rigs are running hot and crashing is because this algo utilizes nearly 100% of the GPU compute die (since SHA256 hashes are 100% compute an almost zero memory dependence). If you have pushed your clocks or voltages for ZEC or ETH its almost guaranteed to fail for pascal. Both ZEC and ETH are idling on the core while mem accesses are happening for a large percentage of core clocks, and thats the main reason they are way more stable and forgiving (unless you push the mem side of things of course). Like somone else mentioned the current crop of GPU miners are spoiled...you guys should have mined back in the BTC/Litecoin GPU days  |

The ROCm OpenCL driver doesn't seem to support inline GCN assembly and I have to use HCC after all.
Grrrrrrrrrr...
Yea their OpenCL implementation is pretty barebones...the current release was the first and it was just a developer beta. Will probably be a while before OpenCL matures on that platform. It makes a perfect sense that AMD's commitment to OpenCL seems half-hearted if AMD wants to promote HCC over OpenCL in a long run. I'm not entirely sure if I want to rewrite the kernel, but their ROCm stuff looks pretty neat... Yea but HCC does not make much sense for mining algorithms unless you find a speed up by utilizing inter-gpu memory and data sharing between gpu cores on multi gpu systems. Could be interesting to explore for more advanced Algos like ethash and equihash. |

The profit is too low. We need a faster version .
Excuse me but when you have seen any better profits with faster version coming out? If you would try to remember, then the best ZEC profits were during first days, when only very slow miners were available. They had low power usage that contributes to good profit, but key factor is how much miners are on it vs populariy among coin buyers. Can you name any single coin where it has not been this way? Yea not many people can wrap their heads around that concept. People see MOOOR SPEED and immediately think that means more profits. These are probably the same people that are buying GPUs now and think they can still ROI in a few months  Of course these updates to public miners have a single major advantage, and thats leveling the playing field for home miners vs large farms that have been running 100 sol/s + since day 1 |

The miner runs good with NV too.Just CPU usage is not so good.
But hell yeah..nvidia rocks..
one GTX1080 is doing 1.2GH+ :-D eat that AMD lovers :-D
Lol, the logic of some people on these forums is quite interesting. Please explain how a 2x470 that costs $340 and hashes 1.3GH is so much better than one 1080 that costs $600 and does 1.2GH??? I can buy almost twice the hashpower, or ROI twice as fast with AMD cards than nvidia...but yes those big hash numbers are everything even though it makes no mining sense. because you need to compare $200 x 2(470) to $400 for a 1070 with the CUDA miner which will be even faster, $170 for a 470 is not in all the place of the world lol not sure where you looking at prices for 470s. The best 470 for mining is right here and currently its at 165 (155 if you count the rebate). https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202230You can even grab the powercolor for 155 (135 after rebate) if your fine with a slightly less clocked GDDR5 |

here is linux miner with 470s...got it up to nearly 700MH not bad.
How did you manage run miner on linux? Suprnova has an sgminer. This 470 4gb or 8gb  My 470 4gb 610 m/h Its 4GB but it does not matter for this coin...its straight SHA256 compute, so its 100% dependent and scales linear with core clock speed. That speed was at 1160mhz |
