After killing myself for the last 24 hours troubleshooting 2 r815's I picked up, I have learned a thing or two. If the cover is not on the box, it will not produce full power. Board will limit CPU power evident by power drawn at plug and performance in hash. I chased my tail for quite a bit yesterday and today until I figured it out. I got the servers Friday and only had enough memory on hand to get 2 cpu's running in one box. I saw appropriate hash numbers on it. Since I got 2 different speed CPUs for testings on the boxes, I tried the other set in dual mode and also saw the appropriate numbers. I then noticed the 50 memory sticks I ordered had arrived yesterday afternoon and rushed to get the boxes fully up and running. Since I had so many issues with memory population with the 1GB UDIMMS and even various 2GB RDIMMS I have, I had left the covers off and then could not figure out WhyTF in 4 cpu configs, I was down on power by 500H/s. They are also very picky about the memory that goes in them. Memory that works fine on other boxes comes up as failures on the r815s. You must populate 16 DIMM slots. If they aren't all the same size, you will have an annoying F1 key to push everything the box boots, I have not found a way around that yet. The box will boot with 8 sticks but multiple threads will not have hwloc bind memory so performance will be garbage. You will also get a slightly higher hash rate (100H/s or so) by disabling the gui and running from CLI only. These things run great off 16GB usb flash drives. le sigh...  Thanks for this as it has saved me some issues with the R815's I picked up. By the way I read somewhere that these R815 servers only work with 2Rx8 ECC Registered memory. I picked up 25 sticks of 2GB 2Rx8 PCE-10600R memory and it worked without issues. Question on running off 16GB usb flash drives. Do these wear out pretty fast and die? When I tried running off a flash drive for HiveOS the flash drives died in about a week because of the constant log writing that was going on. Im not sure about HiveOS, but ive been using USB drives for SMOS for nearly a year on rigs, not a single failure yet. Not even a corrupt file error from a block going bad. Im using Samsung USB3.0 16GB drives |

Patrike:
Any new updates on you checking into the code of NemoMiner to improve the profit switching of AwesomeMiner?
The reason i ask is im nearing my 2 month mark of running 1 GPU on AM and 1 GPU on NM from the same watercooled PC using the same miners per algo comparison test. The margin of actual payout between the 2 wallets has grown wider.....

Question:
In regards to mining to Nicehash, what are the default fee % that NemoMiner 3.1 is calculating in regards to profitability? is it offsetting the profits by 5%, 3%, 1%? or maybe is it ignoring this and just going off pure profit with no fee taken into account?

Feature Request:
Add a separate wallet address line for Nicehash ONLY, so we can use Nicehash internal wallets and check box to trigger which fee we expect to pay so it can be added into the calculations to determine if more profitable vs other pools.
Story Behind the change:
I have been using NemoMiner over AwesomeMiner for some time now and recently upgraded to the new GUI versions on my rigs, i mainly mine to Ahashpool Plus, but i mistakenly forgot to turn off nicehash which was checked from default during install and found large periods that my Ahashpool showed huge drops in profits checking on it periodically, this boggled me as the rigs were online the entire time, but lastnight i figured out what it was, the nicehash box was checked and i overlooked this and copied the setup folder to my cloud drive so it would be downloaded on all of my rigs to later run... while on my PC and looking at my Ahashpool page i noticed that all 120+ GPU's were displayed not active miners all sudden and remoted into the rigs to check on them to find that they were mining on Nicehash. I have no issues with mining to Nicehash if it truly is more profitable than any algo on Ahashpool, just didnt expect it. The issue now is when i look at nicehash to check the payout, its sending me payments via external route and charging me 3%, if i was able to populate my internal wallet than i would incur 0% fee as i use coinbase.

Hello All,
How have all of yall been?
Ive not been on a lot lately, been in South Korea visiting my girlfriend for a few weeks. She wanted to spend time away from all annoyances in life, so i respected her wishes...
Came back to Water Loop for GPU farm max temps hitting 58c while i was gone with days hitting 90f+ during the day.... best part is i only had 4 GPU's go offline while i was away on my travels.. all 4 came back online after a simple restart, so more monitoring on them is in the future.
While i was gone the bots managed a profit of 0.195btc, so a good month for the bots mostly coming from the latest bot being added to the lineup... seems i have my pinescripts dialed in well for autoview....

80 blocks down now since the fork.
Difficulty addjustment is 720 blocks but doesn't count the lowest or highest 60 blocks. So it should start to correct down slowly now
Ya, latest miner actually bumped my 1950x hashrate a little... I just wish it would use more than 50% of the core's power... AMD 1950x 1308.2 H/s average |

Not sure how many other Raspberry Pi guys are on here, but i my raspberry pi 3 apparently die from running my latest bot off it, even tho they state its capable of running off pi 2. Things had me thinking and i heard about it before, so i tossed the bot on my main PC temp to work its way out of some positions it got into before it died... I decided to try out installing Ubuntu on my old Samsung Note 4 i had laying around from when i upgraded to my latest phone and it turned out easier than i had expected.... Raspberry Pi 3 running the bot, the CPU ran 70%+ 24/7 and CPU temps with aluminum premium thermal case sat around 55-60c at max.... Samsung Note 4 running the bot, the CPU runs around 17% now and CPU temps are in the 40-45c range.... Benefit of the phone now is that it has a battery for those days when power cuts out on me now.. just win win all around To the few that asked me about the clips.. Here is the printer file.. https://ufile.io/jqbpzis it the pi, or just the SD itself? I have killed ~5 SD cards now with a Pi2 and using it as my VPN host. Im still too lazy to config a linux box to replace the pi.... being the VPN's connection is now pretty @#$ fast, I think ill upgrade my servers and services I host there. MAkes sense, but Just wondering if yours was a SD failure. No i think it died itself, after communicating with amazon about it being only 2 weeks old since purchase, they have me returning it for a full refund, placed an order for the brand new latest 3+ since its the same price.... The cell phone is working well, but i dont think its up to the task in regards to the charging.. the power draw of the bot jumps way up when its actively monitoring a position compared to when its just monitoring the exchange for pricing ticks... CPU load goes from 15% roughly monitoring 132 pairs i currently have it trading on to 60%+ when it has a pair actively bought and monitoring for position to sell... not exactly sure why the drastic change i didnt realize this previously, i think when the PI3 was in the 70% cpu range it was actively trading a pair... So basically since the cell phone cpu% jumps way up, the battery on the phone starts dropping like a rock and a few times it dropped to 50% and less before it sold the pairs off and was able to charge back up to 100%, granted the lower it got in charge the slower it dropped, so maybe the phone is limiting the amount of charge rate up near full charge... So my guess is the phone will not live long in this constant tug-o-war with the battery. I truly want a battery backup for the bot, since 3 times storms recently has knocked my pi offline while it was trading and then i would get stuck in trades hours later that would take many hours to days to average out of manually to not loose money on the trades. I may have to just build a linux box myself or ive been thinking of maybe picking up something like a tablet or laptop to run the bot that has a battery built in... I may pickup one of those 12inch student google chromebooks at bestbuy, i saw them previously for like $69 on sale. I tried running my PI's off a UPS, but even with 3 of them the UPS couldnt pickup a high enough load for it to trigger the battery backup and this was on a professional series APC, according to APC the min VA for it to trigger backup is like 27 watts i think they told me... and all 3 raspberry pi's were pulling only 5.8watts in total according to the software. |

You aren't a real miner unless you are using ribbon risers.
Still running a bunch of those.
heh yeah i still have some from btc gpu mining days, did the molex mod on them. now im riserless and dont miss em a bit  See thats what i dont understand, since getting everything secured and deleting all connectors that i can... and soldering the wires my riser issues have pretty much dissipated... most of the issues ive had in the past was from sag on the gpu's over time in the pcie slot and the pcie adapter coming loose from viberations... between clips i printed and hot glue... everything is running smooth as butter.... |

Hi.
awesome - crash nvidia driver (stop miner)
no good?!
---------------
stop miner:
1 press Ctrl+C
2 pause 2-5 sec
3 close cmd
good!!
------------
stop miner:
1 close cmd
not good
crash driver nvidia
This will not fix your unstable issue your dealing with, but when i build a new mining rig i always set the following change, it prevents windows from displaying the error that ccminer or whatever miner has stopped working and sits there waiting for a response to close the program. What this setting change does is just close the miner and allow the mining software to attempt to start mining again since it doesnt detect a active mining software open. Start - run gpedit.msc Go to Computer configuration -> Administrative templates -> Windows components -> Windows error reporting Set "Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors" to "Enabled" and reboot your rig. Next time when ccminer or other program will crash it will not show any GUI - just close and dont wait for key press Hope it helps! |

Question,
Im sure its something simple to change to fix the issue, but i am having a brain fart....
Ahashpool add x16r i noticed, but its not showing up on my list of algo's to mine from that pool in V3.0. On the algo line i pulled the data again and it indeed says x16r on the list of algo's, but when i start the miner its not listed.
What do i need to do to activate this algo on V3.0?

it is most likely real. But it will serve to kill eth unless a fork is done soon. Here is the deal cpu/gpu developers can crush asics with a 4-6 month built in fork system for their coin. Other then LTC/scrypt and BTC/sha256 no algo has much hashpower so an asic will crush that algo. the defense would be 4-6 month forks and adding a second or third algo say x16r now x20r 4-6 months later x24r 4-6 months later z28r 4-6 months later or xmr1 xmr2 xmr3 xmr4 or zec1 zec2 zec3 zec4 or eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 this would defend cpu/gpu coins from the attack of asics Thats the part im unsure about, X11 had similar algo's that all used the same physical sectors in the action of mining and the sequence that it mined those algo's were always the same pattern, x16r is a combination of a lot of different ways of performing the action of mining as well randomizing it into 1 of 40,320 possible sequences, so i feel its far far far harder to produce an asic that could benefit from it over a modern GPU. If an ASIC was to come out for x16r, it would have to be a generic cpu die basically with enough memory to cover the memory based algo's as well have some sort of decryption to adjust based on the last 8 bits. I just dont see how an ASIC could easily mine 40,320 different combinations very efficient compared to modern GPU's |

If you search back a few months ago, i posted that MiningPoolHub emailed me informing me of the Antminer F3 already showing up as a miner on their pool in this thread |

What exactly is the disable GPU0 check box suppose to do in v3.0?
I ask because i checked it in hopes of it to start up ignoring GPU0, but it made no change, i even restarted the batch file with no change with that box checked, it would start up and mine all GPU's to inclue GPU0

I have been using Nemo's ONLY with MPH since the start. Thinking about other pools.
I am hearing about Zergpool a lot but mostly about the outages. They have a lot of different coins though.
Any opinions on Zergpool with NemosMiner?
Zergpool does have a decent share of outages, but that is why i run 2 pools, ahashpool + zergpool in plus mode, i have enough hashpower that no matter if it splits 50/50, im still getting a payout so im ok with splitting the load among pools, plus its nice being able to get payed out in LTC on zergpool and BTC on ahashpool, it gives me the ability to use one or the other for trading when value is up... lately its been more profitable getting my payouts in LTC, since btc keeps dropping on a faster rate than LTC |

About the crypto bridge exchange used for ravencoin, has anyone encountered this issue?
To withdraw BTC requires BTS the exchange's coin.
To buy BTS with BTC requires a small fee, paid in BTS.
Since my initial BTS balance is 0, I cannot buy any BTS as fee can't be paid.
I cannot withdraw any of my coins on that exchange, it's stuck in a catch 22. How did you guys get the first BTS or withdraw your funds?
Ive been mining directly to a wallet, so unsure what you can do bud.. sounds to me like you need to contact the exchange for some help |

Well on better news, i just finished my first 7 days with my latest bot addition to add to my other 3 bots i currently run... some damn good results for 7 days, i installed it on my Raspberry Pi and just left it alone with 0.25btc to trade with for 7 days...
7 days of trading...
68 trades...
0.044btc profit
.

That image is super small. How much trading commission did you pay in total? I used to write algo trading in stock markets. In stock market, buying 500 shares of a $100 stock ($50k) costs like $5 comission. In crypto it costs $125... and another $125 to exit the position. Huge negative edge and spreads are large in crypto too. With the coin markets now so volatile ... its actually perfect for bots to roam free because the spread its extraordinary big. Storx -- why don't you clone 100 of those Raspberry Pis and let the army run riot ? Afternotes: I can fund a few of them Pis seeding/capital BTCs and we can share the profits This is actually a double edge subject for me, i have always been into bots... i have never lost a lot of money with them, usually the first 15 or 30 days of owning the bots i typically make my cost of buying the bot back along with a little extra, but it seems to always fall on its face or profits drop to a sludging crawl after that. I swear these companies somehow use the fact you have to communicate with thier servers to verify product key for the bot to continue to function, that they are implementing some sort of scale back on how the bot functions after the honeymoon period of getting your initial investment back... So my plan is to continue to test this bot, i have spent countless hours studying this one before purchase and doing technical analyst on all the pairs its trading to set custom settings for each single pair it uses that i hope this one stays on track after the honeymoon period, in a few days ill have what i payed to purchase it all back in return, so we will see if the profits keep rolling in. In regards to running a bunch of them, the issue with that is your only allowed to run so much traffic on an exchange before they ban your account from trading, its happened in the past.. so i can only do so much, so the real way of doing it would be to run the bot on multiple exchanges, but the issues with that is fees and volume of traffic are the 2 biggest hurdles, currently i have bots running on all 4 of the top volume exchanges, so im kinda tapped out at the moment and running multiple bots on the same exchange account just confuses the heck out of them. If this one continues to pan out like its been i plan to add a few BTC to the account and up its trade amounts per trade over time, just right now im testing the waters and not trying to jump the gun, bots can make you money and they can loose it just as quick. I have test 13 different bots over the past 2 years and so far only 3 of them were stable enough to trust with actual money i am willing to trade with, other bots ive bought they run so random and unstable that you cant trust them or once you load them up with more than a few pairs to trade they get so confused and slow to respond that they just become useless at trading. That is what happen to me with gunbot, its turned into my direct mining conversion bot now, stupid bot does well with like 1-3 pairs, but anything above that the code over time starts logging errors and misses trades, then you get stuck with bags of drowning assets.. just got to bipolar for me to deal with, so now all it does is run 24/7 on cryptopia and bittrex auto exchanging everything i dump into those wallets into btc through its panic sell mode... basically turning it into my own autoexchanging mining pool in a way... Its done ok today, managed 0.00782325btc ($55) of profit in the past few hours trading small amounts, think ima bump up the trade amount a little after this post  |

Is it me, or did profits just dump into the ground...
I got home this morning to see my monitor showing all my GPU's offline, about had a heart attack until i saw the profit numbers were falling below the minimum profit required to mine threshold for AM that i setup....
