it was on negative territory.

sound nice, an option 4. you spend an additional budgeting for buying these parts, and maybe also the electricity bill increases because the AC keeps on alive.
in short a story, you go vacation and you always check the RIG on the web using a Mobile phone or Laptop in Airport, on Taxi, in a hotel or everywhere and every time you want. The atmosphere of 3 months of vacation becomes anxiety atmosphere. Although the holiday destination was for fun.
better choose option 5: You canceled the vacation
i will mostly ended up mining during night hours and early morning hours and off during day. For A/C looks like wi-fi wall with scheduler app available so can schedule it to urn 1-2 hours during evening to remove residual heat accumulated during day. There is going to be unavoidable anxiety, so will probably make my final decision on the day before  |

You could try to thin out the rigs, lay them out on the floor with each GPU as far from the others as possible. Remove anything easily flammable from the environment like curtains or rugs, cover the floor in aluminum foil.
My rigs are ghetto AF, just loose computer parts sitting on home made plywood shelves covered with fire retardant paint. I never worry about them though since they are in a 100% concrete basement, there's nothing there that can hold a flame for longer than 5 seconds.
got carpet, perhaps probably lay a thin foil across the carpet and find some fire proof surface to put on the miners. |

how much revenue are you forfeiting during those 3 months? Is that $ worth losing sleep over? If yes, then follow through with plans to isolate your rig and fireproof as best as possible, add the ability to remote in via phone, check your pools stats to see the last time your rig sent a hash, have IP cams so you can check in visually, etc. If the $ is not worth it, then sell the GPUs & enjoy your trip abroad expecting about 4500$ in three months but could be much less or far more in volatile crypto market. |

How about drastically dialing back clock/intensity settings so the cards draw a lot less power? Could be a happy middle ground where you are still earning something but reduce the likelihood of fire, damage, lockups/shutdowns, etc.
yes already doing that and running at minimum non-idle power at 90-120W range. Max power is 180W. |

since all of them running centos, i can setup cron to start mining during night time only. that is another option.

taking 3 months of vacation during which I will leave my place empty with 5 miners running, which currently consuming about 2KW power around the clock. I am contemplating whether this is good idea to leave it as running or just completely turn off. Biggest worry is fire safety:
wires can tangle, fans can seize, chips can heat up and sparks can fly. Add to that it is around March to Mid July during which several of tough heatwave is expected.
- option 1: leave it off and forfeit 3 months of mining revenue.
- option 2: leave it as it is (very anxious about this one)
- option 3: this is interesting one which I am contemplating:
equip home with wireless cam, also just purchased remote on and off switch for motherboard which can be controlled by web, so i can turn on when it is not hot, still need to setup. Cram all the miner in a smaller room and leave the A/C on.
To reduce further the fire risk, I am thinking about putting huge metal or tin foil around the ceiling, floor and around the miners in case sparks fly. I know it is quite paranoid and unliely to happen but if it ever happens, I bought a barn.
If i cant make my mind between three option, most likely going to choose option 1 which is safest one.

Why do you keep referring to them as trolls?
I guess you must be new within the community, when I refer as trolls or troll I mean people or person in general, not specific. Yes I am pretty new here so this is indeed the first time I've come across you here or most people here for that matter. Anyways my point was simply that iGPU mining for cryptonote currencies like Monero actually works very well. By itself it won't help you much, but combined with a lot of other workers, it all adds up. did apple start making GPUs?? |

In the darkest situation that they can build an asic for ethash , there will be many other coins poping out with new algos for gpus , gpu mining will never die and never did before , maybe one of bitmain customers tell me where is the S3 now i can tell you IN THE GARBEGE , so f**k off
I am counting on that ) otherwise i am busted  |

What evidence do you have that there are a ton of idiots willing to pay $1000 for a 580?
Evidence? Are you for real? You must be kidding right? trolls are using igpu to mine and you say they are not? They are desperate, they are insane, they are mindless and if you sum up they would even pay $9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 for a rx 580, know why? cause they are sick. one article regarding nvidia crypto mentioned about why nvidia and amd can not supply enough GPUs to market during this white hot demand is because of the manufacturing company TMSC is in full throttle and no f* way to meet the demand.
How can you stop idiots from throwing $1000 for rx 580 for 30mhs? Build asics with a partner and earn more money for less from those idiots. Dude, i dont like to chip in but it looks like you need to slow down and look around. i can see on ebay rx580 can be had around ~400$. much faster powerul gtx1080 can be had around 700$ which I have been buying. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=rx+580&_sop=15 |

one article regarding nvidia crypto mentioned about why nvidia and amd can not supply enough GPUs to market during this white hot demand is because of the manufacturing company TMSC is in full throttle and no f* way to meet the demand. nvidia and amd only designs it. So logically thinking if bitmain can manage to come up something for ETH i think hye will be on same situation and supply constraints faced by GPUs. Under the hood, I expect the similar type IC and chips for doing the mining.

i am not familiar with the mining algorithm software however still involve din sofware dev in diff project. This kept wondering why they make slight mods to an mining algorithm such that it is no longer mineable by asic. I mean asic is 1000x faster than software but use the software adv. against the asic, which is flexibility and speed of development.

Whenever it is built or after download binary, it gives following:
[root@MINER_03_H81_2 ccminer-2.2.4-tpruvot]# ./ccminer
./ccminer: error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[root@MINER_03_H81_2 ccminer-2.2.4-tpruvot]# yum install libcudart.so.9.0
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
No package libcudart.so.9.0 available.
It is work of crap. Internet has only conflicting of information regarding this which only wastes more time.

wondering how the "regular consumer grade or home user grade " Volta gpu's going to work for mining . currently , with nVidia Volta gpu , ETH mining speed is around 60-68MH/s out of box, with little overclocking , this number can pushed up to 80MH/s with a 250 TDP. Im dual mining with one of my nvidia Titan Volta , ETH/DCR , eth is around 78+MH/s stable , DCR is around 600MH/s , the card is pulling around 180-190 watts at the wall , so im sure there is more potencial in those cards i think it is more tailored for a AI application as i remember about 600 cores for that. Other than that there appears to be about 1500 more cores. Can not comment much on memory and core speed, frequency, did not look closely. For mining 600 AI core are wasted imo. GTX 1080 Ti 700-800 (OEMs) 11GB DDR5X Pascal GP102 3584 GTX 1080 8GB DDR5 Pascal GP104? 2560 Titan V 12GB HBM2 Volta GV100? 5120 + 640 tensor |

I design ASIC's for a living. I implement them in FPGA before we tape out. (Not for crypto)..
The sheer volumes of memory bandwidth needed, and the costs, tell me that someone is smoking some seriously good shit. I get beat up over 64k of RAM....
will you elaborate a bit more? are you saying that the cost of equipment manufacture is not worht designing such an asic miner? THanks., |

looked at some coins and alg at whattomine.com, there are about dozen of algorithms but yes most profitable appears to be ethash and equihash.
I am also working on centOS based algorithm that lets you
- switch to other algorithm,coin in a matter of few minutes a arbitrary number of miner (100, 1000-s)
- integrate new coin, miner less than few hours.
- check status of all miners and GPU health temperature etc from one http page.
- Calculate most efficient power band for GPU.
It seems lot of these I am working on is similar to hiveOS but I havent tried haveOS yet not sure if it can control 100, 1000-s of miners simultaneosly.
Anyways, let me know if it interests you in any way.

I have several different ones through ebay, they are all problematic, missing pieces, misaligned holes, missing/hard to follow instruction, zillon pieces.
has anyone done printing the mining rig? IF so, which model and material is the best. Materialwise, I think fire-resistant, and non-conductive material would be best.

i am able to run same miner twice as separate processes, is it bad?
On miner with 4 gpu-s i issued miner along with necessary parameters twice and second time I issued it simply spawned another process and nvidia output shows there are miners for each GPU running.
