No difference for me.
6 RX 470 4 GB, same results with version 10

You guys read anything? He clearly mentioned increasing speed with an ASM kernel for Hawaii, Fury, Tahiti and Pitcairn cards. There was no speedup for polaris, and sounds like he's working on Polaris ASM next.

Wow! That's it for v11? Those new numbers still aren't even close to Optiminer v1.3. I'm getting over 400 Sols/s on my Nanos, stock clocks, with optiminer - after the devfee.

Seems like Tahiti is the new king card...getting 280h/s on mine with moded bios (and clock under 1ghz...could prob get over 300 if I really pushed them). Not bad for a 5 year old $90 card Wink

Wow, Optiminer really pulled ahead on this release.

His speedups don't really matter with the shitty stratum code he has compared to claymore...wont run more than a few hours before it loses connection and just stops mining and needs a manual restart.

....
with a 3% difficulty increase.....
LOL
Are you fucking noobs?
With 3% difficulty increasement it will be 1212000 (up in 16 time from now) in 365 days. It is absolutely impossible.
Even bitcoin with the super bull trend in 2016 year had only 3 time difficulty increasement from 103,880,340,815 to 317,688,400,354.
Man you need to learn to count .
Agreed with you.
I recommand using this calc
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/calculator
allow you to count difficulty, and you'll see ROI is hard.... super hard, even with free electricity.
The ROI is 111 days with free electricity !!!
This is the best invesment in mining hardware at the moment.
Hummm how do you calculate ?
if i put 3% diff, hahs 250MH, price 1600$, pool fee 2%, electricity free, the ROI is 700days
Man you need to learn to count .
3 % diff? 2% pool fee? What a nonsense!

Max diff could be 150-200k in the end of 2017. it is only 0,75-0,8% of average increment.

You guys do realize that the bitcoinwisdom calc is still doing the calculation with 50 LTC block rewards right? So its off by a factor of two.

This calculator is accurate: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/ltc?HashingPower=250&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=400&CostPerkWh=.01

Thats an 8 month ROI with zero electricity and diff increase. Factor in power, and even if your running on a mutipool with very good returns your looking at a year ROI if your lucky. Plus you wont pay 1600 after shipping costs, PSU etc.
1705  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Interest thread for Evliop linux build for pandaminer on: January 05, 2017, 08:10:53 PM
seriously? just download 16.04 ubuntu and install the amdgpu-pro drivers...

If it was only that easy Smiley

Well, yeah, it is that easy, but there are no supported drivers for the NIC, which is a PCIe NIC.
If you boot the system, go into the bios of the main board, you'll see as first boot "windows boot loader",  not just the msata disk like in any other case.
So in other words, just installing ubuntu, yeah, perhaps  Wink
It wasn't "just" installing ubuntu when i first got it..

It has everything pre-configured, every single miner out there is on it ready to run with a perfectly optimized config for each algo out there.

Oh yeah, but that's already clear enough, modified roms, so not only copied straps but custom ones and of course VDDC offset added.

Greetings. Smiley


[...] pandaminer [...]
It might be better option for Evliop to contact them , and try to get a deal with them for his hard work Smiley


This. Exactly my thought.

You should contact them and you'll quickly notice how awesome communicating with those guys is  Grin

Ive never heard of any modern NIC that not PCIe based...I understand charging for moded roms, but for a free OS that needs a few configuration changes and some drivers installed is a bit of a stretch.

ill probably buy one of these and ill just post a working linux clone as soon as I get it, or more easily the instructions needed to run it on linux.

can one of you guys take a screenshot of gpu-z of the GPU (the gpu info panel)...or if your running linux on it type lspci -vvv and pastebin the output.

Ok, Just throwing a feeler out there to see who is interested...  

I am talking with someone in China who says he can get us the L3's at a pretty good cost.  I am pressing him for the details now and will flush out if this is real or not.  If it does turn out to be real I might be crazy enough to try and setup a group buy on these things.  

So let me know if you might be interested, and how many units you would be wanting.  I have no idea on the price yet, but let's just use the mythical number $1600 each plus shipping.  Could be higher, could be lower.  Use that as a planning number for the moment.  Also if we do a large order there will be customs to pay so we have to keep that in mind also.

So let me know what you guys think.   Right now I can say that the info I have so far is quite sketchy so I don't know how real this is...  But thought it would be worth putting feelers out to see how many we might want if we can get them for a decent price.  This will give me a possible planning number for trying to push for the best price possible.  Thanks!

So let me know:
Yes, ready to make a commitment if this is real, I want <#>
No, No thanks I will wait for Bitmain to make them available
Maybe, I need more info, but I might want <#>

I would be in for 10 units, but the deal would have to be pretty good for that amount.
1709  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Review of Panda Miner coming up. on: January 01, 2017, 01:36:30 AM
  There are market for these, let's not thread crap.  The only sucky point is the crappy 45 days warranty and chinese OS but if those asic are easy to replace and upgrade, this is an ultimate solution for large farms.  If I can upgrade my asic to say 490 or Fury and sell old ones to others, etc.  The former factor is also very good for heat management. 

These are mobile based GPU cards...there is almost a zero market for these, and there is no off the shelf parts that you can just buy and upgrade. This form factor is made OEM by laptop manufactures so good luck finding next gen GPU upgrades...and if you do somehow happen to find them, good luck selling your old cards aftermarket.

This has the cons of an ASIC system into a GPU system...makes no sense.
1710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon on: December 31, 2016, 11:31:05 PM
Just reading the Bitmain site translated to english and what someone else stated about the PCIE connections is correct.  You only need 1 PCIE connector per board connected.  So 4 PCIE connections per cube. 

Yea its just 100 watts per board, so could power the whole thing with just two PSU PCIE connectors and splitters if you really wanted too.

Btw each board has 36 chips..144 chips total.

1.74 MH/Chip @ 2.8 watts...1.6 watts per MH pretty impressive.
1711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: KNC Titan 300mh/Innsilicon 270mh/L3 250mh Bitmain Scrypt Miners Compared. Meh! on: December 31, 2016, 08:47:17 PM
The simple truth:
If you have a Scrypt ASIC NOW .... congrats, you already ROI'd and will keep doing so for a lil while longer.
If you plan on buying A4 / L3 .... congrats, it will take at least a year+ to ever ROI.... if diff and price stay where they are. We all know diff will skyrocket because people are addicted to mining even if its in the red.... so ROI will be 2-4years ... by then LTC may be completely worthless ... given how its done nothing but gone down consistently for the last 1-2 against BTC.

Thats what people were saying after the LTC price crashed from 20 to $1, but that period was the most profitable mining period ever for me, and I know of no other coin that is more profitable to mine than LTC(and im talking averaged over years)...it has proven the test of time over and over while other coins come and go. Of course as people are now fighting for what is left of scraps in mining profitability looks like attention is turning to LTC and you could very well be right. This should be an interesting development though...doubt a powerhouse like bitmain would come into the LTC market without some major LTC pump incoming (which would be relatively easy to do still with LTC and the bitcoin china owns).
1712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon on: December 31, 2016, 08:34:52 PM
Sweet finally a new scrypt chip worth playing with! Even I was blind sided by this...didnt think bitmain would get back in the scrypt game. Hopefully they will sell this chip at a reasonable price, or at the very least force Innosilicon to drop their ridiculous prices on thier power hog A4s. Feel bad for all the people that bought them...they are screwed now.

Either way stay tuned for round 2 of some fun mini miners from me!
1713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: rx490? on: December 30, 2016, 06:02:51 PM
490 ie Vega 10 (most likely will be named 500 series), will be a 64 CU die paired to either a 2048 or 4096bit HBM2 interface (will be 512 GB/s mem throughput either way). Based on mem bandwidth alone it should be able to do about 43 MH eth, and about 400S/s zec, but some of that is going to be dependent on where the core is clocked (especially for zec mining).

Either way doubt it will be able to touch the 470/480 on perf/$

Awesome job so far...your miner is now just as fast as optiminers (if you factor in his dev fee speed he is still slightly faster, but regardless this is still nice work). 470s are now doing 170 with this miner (and your only 40S/s away from claymour). Will def send some btc your way.
1715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v9.2 (Windows/Linux) on: December 24, 2016, 10:38:53 PM
FINALLY a LINUX build!!!!!  Thank you Claymore!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  

I have it up and running on a Linux rig now and a very nice improvement over my Silent Army miner.  The was so sorely needed.  ZEC mining was a weak spot because I couldn't get the hash rates out of my Linux rigs.  This is wonderful news.  So far it looks good!

UPDATE: I may have spoke too soon... Just got a watchdog and having to reboot a miner...

Make sure you use stock clocks for first tests.
Currently I can only confirm issue with gpu-pro drivers that causes a lot of messages to syslog (and therefore high CPU load on multi-GPU systems), I'm working on it.

Any update on the high message issue with AMDGPU-pro?

they will drop the price by 60%

Wait claymore released ZEC binaries for linux?
1718  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: A4 Drop Card Issues - Jig Reflash Thread on: December 16, 2016, 03:55:38 PM
If someone can send me some high res photos of both sides of the board, and some pics of the jig and where it interfaces on the board, im pretty sure I can whip up a flasher for you guys that would require about $30 bucks worth of parts. I pretty much did the same thing for the Alcheminer guys when their boards had a major firmware issue that needed reflashing.
1719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Innosilicon's A4 Dominator, 1.2W/Mhs 14nm ASIC and miner, open for Partners on: December 15, 2016, 04:57:29 AM
It will be interesting to see, if all it requires is an MCU reflash that shouldn't be to bad, granted not everyone has the tools to do that , now swapping the MCU makes me wonder a bit I pulled the MCU code off the A2 boards and they really hadn't used much of the memory space. I was looking into getting an A4 but I guess I will hold off a little longer although the power savings in my case is about to make my A2s non usable. I have about modified them as much as I can wanted to use them to heat the house this winter so I built a PWM fan controller so they didn't sound like airplanes in the house and I have about repaired all the boards I have parts for.


It sounds like with a custom jig the MCU can be flashed.  Inno is presently trying to setup an arrangement in the US to have someone do the flash updates for us.  I assume they will also do the same for the EU part of the world. 

We are trying to sync up Inno with a member here to do the work.  Hopefully something can be worked out for the B1 and B2 repairs.  B3 miners look like they may be working better.  We should be getting more reports here over the weekend how things are progressing on multipool mining with the B3 miners. 

What do they need done? I pretty much did the same work for Alcheminer for their board issues. Pretty sure I can fix anything wrong with these boards.
1720  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Wanting to start to mine for profit.. on: December 14, 2016, 08:50:57 AM
you can currently profit with 30 cent so i can't see how 12 would not be great to start a mining farm, a small one, i think up to 0.15 it's safe to invest in mining without big risk

so go ahead and build your little farm

Just because you can profit currently does not mean you will ever ROI. The whole point is to have enough profit margin to overcome risk (ie price drops/difficulty rise). Currently thats nearly impossible with current levels of ZEC/ETH unless you paying around 5 cents/kw TOTAL bill cost. With BTC/LTC mining your a bit better off since those markets are a LOT more stable.
