Thanks for the info.

I managed 430 sols on skein with 980Ti 205W on the wall. System is like 50-60 when idle.

How good/bad is this?

I will mine some with this gpu until I get 1080Tis.

Have a newbie question:

When I mine with this:

ccminerAlexis78.exe -r 0 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u BTC_Address -p c=BTC,skein,stats

Do I mine DGB-Skein and deposit into my BTC wallet as BTC currency? I guess.

Can I insert my Polo DGB wallet address to where it says `BTC_Address` to deposit DGB directly without any internal auto exchange?

If not how can I mine DGB-Skein without conversion?

Thanks.

No it is not.

Look at these specs


Memory clock speed is 11,000 times powerful on EVGA
can't decide which one to go with.

I have been mining DGB the past couple of days on my personal machine with a pair of GTX 1080 Ti GPUs. I've been using a different version of ccminer and was very pleased with it, but after seeing reports of others doing even better with alexis78's version I decided to try it out. Could someone be so kind as to post their batch file?  The .bat I was using with my other ccminer version does not seem to be compatible and my attempts at altering it have not worked thus far.  Thanks!

what is your tdp or power setting?

try 70%

core 150
memory -150
fan manual 75%


run for an hour then try

tdp 68%
core 160
memory -160
fan manual 75%



card to card sweet spots vary

64-72% tdp
core +130 to +250
memory -100 to -500
fan 65-80% manual

I get about 880 at 175 watts.. 

you can do tdp as low as 50%  if you have heat issues it helps to do this it will lower hash a lot.

Your ti brand is MSI ? Which brand is the best if you have any background knowldge about them?
Because i haven't order mine yet if that makes any difference.

Pools calculate your hashrate based on submitted shares. The 24/48 hours earnings should match closely what you're supposed to get + there are more rejects with skein (about 5%) due to very short block time.

Got 518 DGB for yesterday with one 1080ti. That's about $19 as of now. I'm getting $20 with 4 x 480's. Strange times in the mining game

you can do that same earning with a single 1080ti ming skein much more profitable if you ask me, don't waste time mining lyra2v2 it's an old algo with dead coin, DGB is growing fas has better future, and if i can suggest nicehash is bad for earning it reduce your income versus normal pool earning

post the copy of your modified batch this way next time....

use the when you post it.  Much easier than a photo.

you didn't remove the algos from the password.  I see you have lyra2 and skien enabled....   but the pool thinks you have ALL the other algos enabled.

Should look like this for your config:
The pool was probably trying to throw you on a disabled algo and leaving the stratum on your desired algos disconnected....

If you want to run one algo, I highly suggest just making a single batch per algo to test....


I.E.
skienonly.bat

zminer.exe -a equihash -o stratum+tcp://equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2143 -u bitcoinwallet -p c=BTC,equihash,stats

I try to exchange the coins myself. If you hold on to them a little bit you can get more BTC for them. DGB price went up the past day from 1087 sats to 1460 and climbing. When I sell all the DGB  I made in one day now, I get more btc. Makes sense to go this route. You can even hold for longer if you think price will go up more.

The pool still shows lower numbers but within $1/day difference. You should be getting whatever whattomine says for your hashrate.
This is very close to what I'm getting: http://whattomine.com/coins/114-dgb-skein?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=1000.0&p=250.0&fee=5&cost=0.0&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

if you weren't on the alexis build, you were probably not earning as much as you could....  there's rumor of another build, but so far its just smoke and mirrors....   people are becoming more greedy when sharing with the community.

That link can change over time as it has a few times before.   That's why I only reference to look for his thread, and it's right up top on his first post.

I will personally comment:   On zpool:  there are good days and bad days.  Just the same as any other pool.   But Ill repeat;  the good days outweigh the bad days.  If you were on the lyra2v2 port;  you would feel this issue 10x as more like I did before I swapped to skien.

The EXACT point when people started accusing zpool of stealing is when the altcoin market was reaching it's all time low and BTC was worth just a little over $200.  It's easy to blame the pool when you have a lack of knowledge.    Around this same time, the pool code was updated, and the graphs were now showing the rejects on the graph as well.  This freaked the living crap out of people because it wasn't relative to the coin's hashrate;  one reject on a very low hashrate algo (like cpu algos) would cause the whole graph to be superseded by the larger valued reject number (1-10% instead of the share of .01%, etc).   Through this time, people were pointing wild fingers, and probably blaming the pool for them being on a non-profitable algo.

Remember;  people create their own optimized miners and run them to get a better cut of the earnings:  more profit from your pocket.  when you finally catch up, suddenly it doesn't seem so bad.   This is another VERY key element to this madness.

Third:  PEople base shit off of SPECULATION posted on other sites that do contain a LARGE amount of POSSIBLE error since it is going across many platforms and algos that all contain their own errors and thus it can compound the error GREATLY.    This, with enough research and critical thinking can be seen and understood; on top of being logical.  I.E.  the people who have personally told me that whattomine reported less earnings than they actually received.


Now;  let's consider the troll factor:   Whales buy, and convince you to get on board enough for them to sell at a profit.    Who runs whattomine?
 Where were their profit stakes at those points in time?  Would it make sense to sway people away from what you want to do so you can buy in lower, then recommend it later to sell higher?  this makes PERFECT and REASONABLE sense.

You guys have to look past what's in front of you and look deeper to what you don't fully understand.   You can't form a conclusion on your math for yesterday, just because your test of the next day came out different then the day before.... etc.   Remember;  I keep repeating:  The good days outweigh the bad.  It fluctuates.

I do remember seeing one test that bothered me;  which was someone mining a one coin algo, earning ~90-95% of the rewards, getting paid out in that specific coin, and getting paid less than originally was unconfirmed.....   But considering the pool gets paid in BTC....  some has to be exchanged to equal the pool's percentage...  which means selling at lower than market "sell" rates and fulfilling a lower buy order in order to payout the pool and the miner..... making a minimum sized sell order, etc.... it adds up.   That's one way I could have understood that happening.... but also;  the guy was not 100% of shares.... so his diagnostic was flawed, because he was basing his hypothesis on how the pool works on solely that concept (I should have gotten all the rewards, which is false).

Another thing I keep mentioning, and seeing, is when pool hashrate for an algo crests a certain amount;  profitability drops a bit and luck smooths out to being less noticeable just like when difficulty shoots up..  When the skien pool was 10-30Gh, I was making a killing.   Now that hashrate is ~10x that, It's less profit; and the coins are worth buttloads more (DGB anyone?).    This is a complete fact in my eyes.   I am almost thinking of getting a group of people on board for a test;  see if crackfoo will create a second skien wallet, on a separate port, and have ~10-20Gh of hash dedicated to that port only.   We can compare this to the high hash port and test my hypothesis.....   But I am still working out the details on this.  When I was making ~10-15% pool hashrate on the same gear I am running now;  (before calling you guys to come earn) I seriously made a killing compared to any other algo and profitability went over 0.007mbtc/mh/day.

Sorry for caps guys, but it's for emphasis and I don't feel like adding all over the place..[/code]

That seems to be solid results and low temps! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.0 have you checked nvoc out? It is what I am planning to run my cards off of
