does anyone else think this thread should be locked and a final post stating to refer to previous complaints as well as dev abandonment be made?
I know it may work; but use anything other than EWBF; save yourself the headache..... especially considering the early versions' trojans.
Absolutely. The thread should be closed. Admins please do so. The last 10 pages are complaints from noobs (who do not understand mining) about issues not related to the miner. Like the previous post from a guy who claims has been mining for a year and still doesn't have a clue about shares difficulty. And? Ive been mining and more. Is that so unheard of that a person hasnt heard of "shares difficulty"? Not everyone can be so oh wise and all knowing as you. And guess what? Considering I just recently realized this was happening, that I just learned YESTERDAY in reference to shares difficulty by someone who is much wiser and competent than you, not to mention patient and all around a decent person. I never really felt the need to delve into it further until I noticed what seemed like excessive devfees. And if that is infact the answer(shares difficulty), thats all you had to say. Heres a link in regards to shares difficulty. THANK YOU If you dont like it, STOP READING THE SAME THREAD! Take your negative energy and keep it to yourself. Everything can be solved by HELPING someone instead of being an assumptive judgemental jerk. Thank you to anyone who actually gave me info on this and I do agree, close the thread or make a sticky or something becuase EVERYONE IS A F**KING NEWB AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER and you as a newb learned from others who took the time to teach you and didnt moan like a little b*tch about it All of your above reply was completely unnecessary. The problem I see is poor attitudes like yours right now blaze. No names were given, it was a point of example on his part; a recent; re-occurring and fresh one... not just you bud; I have seen countless people not able to do such a simple thing as google what it is and how it is interpreted on a per-use case. It still happens to this day. You took offense for some reason, probably because you indeed were in that position. You called yourself to it; not us. Remember: A circle of behavior like this must stop somewhere. Please don't perpetuate this behavior, it is a kin to beating a dead horse; aside from being flat-out rude and obnoxious having nothing to do with furthering the current state of discussions. This is not the behavior and class of poster the board needs. |

@Juville
From my experience you need a better power supply.
When you start the miner there can be some high spikes when the gpu starts until it is regulated to the powertarget.
You might need to avoid this with a better power supply.
7 1070s take around 0.84 kw/h, add the cpu etc and you might be around 0.9 kw/h.
You only need a short spike of 20% to overload the power supply.
Better to buy 1.2 kw/h power supply or go down to 6 gpus.
Anyway for the best powerconsumption of the supply you should avoid to go over 80%.
not only that, but most PSU needs a different amount of "cooldown time" to discharge and reset the PSU to the normal (not faulted) state.... so the system simply isn't cutting all power to the PSU (hard-off via switch or cable unplugging) for long enough to let the other PSU come out of a fault setting. Verify this next time with a multimeter; see where the fault arises; verify with what PSU (most likely the secondary psu). FYI; do the math on what your PSU says it can supply amp-wise on the +12v line.... not the overall rating. Next check to see if the 12V is split into two banks or sources; each will own have its own power limit normally (one being less than the other to feed the motherboard and CPU amperage for example). Most people exceed one of the power limits thinking they are in the green. The Coolmax brand is NOTORIOUS for not saying what bank supplies power to what plugs. You can easily mistake that 110A of +12V on a 1600w PSU is an ok figure; but they niglect to tell you that 60A serves the PCIE power ports, and that the other 50A is for the SATA/Molex power connections, CPU and motherboard +12v. One of these PSU's could have burned down my house, and almost at the same time destroyed an expensive (back then) S7.When I emailed them asking if it was ok to pull 110A from the PCIE ports, they replied, "yes, it capable of supplying 110A to the PCIE power connectors"... I took it apart, and explained their miscommunication, and they immidiately backtracked and asked me to send a photo of the burned board to try and warranty it.... When they saw the burned daughter card; they said it wasn't covered and ignored every email from then on.... realizing after my third email telling them they are giving incorrect information on their label, and now. Take this as a learning lesson. Seriously. You don't know what really powers what sometimes unless you open it and follow the traces on the board. Now; Unless you are buying recent platinum rated PSU; always be safe and figure like this example: It can supply 40A of +12v. so 40*0.8=32A of safe usable power that you can use every 100% of AND have a margin of error. 0.8 is 80%, and if you want it in wattage: 32a*12v=384w (E=I*R) And as always, do not forget to be sure not to exceed the ratings on the power line feeding the PSU itself.. If buying platinum, I factor it at 85%. Just to be safe. Everything else I ritually go as per the above. Also to finish @Juville: Don't use EWBF. read the last 10 pages of this thread.... please, for the love of god..... read them and you will understand my concerns. |

for what reasons are not deposits refunded here?
Two major ones: incorrect chain/address/offline wallet or some sort of smart contract token used as ETH. |

I have noticed the moderators seem to be a bit firmer lately. Merit has made it really difficult for new spammers and account farmers so maybe banning the spammers that are already here is the way forward.
Ive noticed the new meta is to just make a comment of some randomness but on topic; like "I would like to buy a batch and sell these, but where would the market for sales be?" or "I wonder if anyone has given thought to applying [this topic] to [that topic]?" where the [topics] seem pretty unrelated from each other. People get creative to achieve their goal... But granted; I have yet to give merit to anyone posting like that; I have been giving it out to people who are truly conversing or helping the subject move along. |

a. DNS resolves to correct IP (198.50.152.135), so it isn't DNS problem.
The reason I mention it, is because the DNS can effect your route across the network paths. Looks like crackfoo is onto it though =) |

I cannot connect to zpool from one of my farms (one external IP):
Pinging sha256.mine.zpool.ca [198.50.152.135] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 198.50.152.135: Destination port unreachable.
Reply from 198.50.152.135: Destination port unreachable.
However I can do it from another IP in another farm. Everything is OK?
do a traceroute; see where the hop goes stale.... try a static dns like 1.1.1.1.... Some ideas =) |

They mine directly to the pool of course. OMG I still can't stop laughing..... Pool webpage won't display??
This is a common problem when there's something going on behind the scenes; like a payment being processed, or a database being rebuilt/backed up.... if you checked your miners directly, you'd see they are/were still online =) It's only temporary. |

Facepalm
Solved. I did not insert the ram deep enough diagonally on both boards during install.
Haha, rock on! Don't worry, it happens waaaaay more often than you'd think...... |

Just an update guys.
Can't compile this. MS Visual Studio broke my compiler to no fault of my own. I can't get an acceptable version for the version of CUDA I have installed.
Funny; it happened before I even tried to update VS or the CUDA toolkit.
When I can get MSVS2017 and CUDA9.1 to play again; Ill have a re-compiled updated version.
Until then; you will have to just be upset at microsoft for their typical BS.

I too am mining CN7 these days, but switched from Cast to SRBminer. The latter is honestly pretty awesome. Stabler, faster, everything. Give it a whirl if you haven't already... Both my Vega and RX 570 rigs have improved.
Im about to swap one of my friends over to CN7 tonight or tomorrow; Xevan profits have dwindled, and hes finally started maintaining a XMR wallet.... He has 6 1080's and a few 1080ti's. Should help with the power bill as well. I miss mining skein, when the power draw was low and the profits were massive.... |

vpp; 2.5v; this is probably the issue would be my guess; and the SPD voltage is near 2.5 as well.... thats over the 1.2v spec of the board. maybe im approaching it wrong... but it is known these boards are picky and only take the low voltage only stuff. *edit* maybe not... but check my post as mentioned below; I think I used 2200mhz ram.... check it to be sure i'm correct. I believe I saved the package, so ill photo it when I get home if I can find it. I have posted before what ram I have used myself; see if you can try a different stick.... I got my money on that one.... if not in this thread, in phils altcoin thread. just do a search for my username and D8P and you'll come around it at some point. I bought mine from frys (frys.com). |

more power to you. I mean, after this recent pump; its still >2x... so who cares if its dropped again in value... now; I am keeping my coins on the exchange, so you'll never really be able to tell if/when I sell  But I now fully know, when it comes to BUB and trading, if I follow my gut, I won't loose. Every time I have or ignored it; profits were or would have been made... But regardless; its still a good project; keep your head on straight. I took C++ back in 98 when it was first introduced into high schools; I got a certificate from the state for my knowledge of it, etc. C++ is extremely powerful; and if you can make your own libraries whenever possible, or stick to ones that have been around through legacy (before x64 and MS visual libraries), you are basically system-universal and can be compiled on anything. That's what I love about C++. I wasn't the strongest when it came to object classes; but I have never had to make applications that were that complex for the most part.... I have an old nibbles port I wrote in mode13h graphics using a class for the player; it was my final exam app.... I miss things like graphics.h.... the things you can do in CGA space I has to learn to plot my own circles in mode13; I still remember the formula as well: r=radius, x=x coord, y=y coord, w=width(pixels), h(height(pixels) y=w(plus/minus)sqrt((r*r)+((x-h)(x-h))); or you can simplify by means of r=w=h for just flat out circles of a radius. W and H provide for the ellipse function... I remember I had to use them for one app I wrote. http://nomadpaintball.tripod.com/nibbles.zip Rename to .exe; its not really a zipfile, but tripod wouldn't allow a .exe file to be uploaded way back when. It was compiled in circa 97/98 on borland turbo C 3.5; you may need to dosbox it if you dont have a legacy machine sitting around. Be sure the filename stays the same, and it's file size never changes or it will not run. I did have corruption detection built in... and if you decompile and see how it was done, you may giggle a little. It may be confusing for the compiler though; as all the mode13 stuff was flat out ASM snippets in a header file. Anyways; Keep up the good work; I know most of the process is learning; and hopefully people begin to understand what the project is really about. |

..... ..... For reference, zpool is not the best pool for scrypt coin: http://poolpicker.eu/***edit I put my image link between  tags and the image doesn't show up... For reference, more often than not, it IS. No images cause you're a n00b You don't like it that someone is comparing you to nicehash, yet you promote them on your home page! gg! Even if you find a block, split between all the miners you get $1 to $2 reward. I put my link between [ img ] tags and it picks it up as a url. but using nicehash to point miners compared to zpool is a whole different animal. different payout/share scheme, different rates, etc... its all different. People can pay insane amounts for hashrates sometimes; and theres never a way to predict an increase, you can only see it and swap methods if that's the case. The reason why NH is advertised is because people like to rent NH and point at a pool; thus zpool is one of the choices for people doing rental tests or people whom down own miners.... that should be more than obvious. |

JK -- 4 letter word..... SMOS.... you will have good nights sleep. oah I get ya.... don't get me wrong... but ive focused on the windows side; because there seem to be soo many more people left without help on that end compared to linux.... Plus; I am an open source kinda guy... fees/taxes... I get enough of that living in the US where you get taxed when you die... also windows is what I know most. I used to be a certified network technician, doing Covad fiber and DSL network installs all over the bay.... you'd be surprised at how prevalent windows was compared to linux at major network hubs and companies. I despise devfee miners for some very specific reasons. Their behavior causes problems is the most prominent reasons. Its my goal to compile if I can. It IS possible, so I take it as a challenge. I have the brains, I just need to apply them. At some point; I will install SMOS on a machine but im not a fan of buying software for every machine, when I could do it myself if I properly apply my skills. When I switch to linux on my miners; I will probably still want to compile sources myself and control the system 100% in the end..... But yeah, at some point I will try out SMOS on a machine. I plan to plop it on a SATA drive and use it in my ONDA. When I pay off the truck and have the spare cash, Ill be buying a handfull of 1080's off a friend of mine. He's make hand over fits off them, and I get first dibs on his selloff... not to mention my % when I hosted them etc =) My ultimate goal now with the D8P is to put a WWAN card in the mSATA slot (I have a sim adapter to use it properly), and have it be a self-contained miner that dubbs as a cellular internet local ISP for the rest of the miners able to connect to it. I have a goal of "satellite" portable GPU rigs that can be set up anywhere power is best to plug it in; given the power plan we have in the future goal for our farm. We have a route to lease space that include a ~50A 220v line for ~300-450/mo.... but our systems would need to be completely wireless. No utilities but power and water available... If they knew what it was being used for; OMG... lol. But its a legit method to get cheap electricity... And its got locations all over that you can choose from.... Its our little secret method... I'm surprised people already haven't done it... but the conditions for the equipment will dictate constant checks and environment quality systems be installed. Anyways.. Ive been serving my internet connection at home in a similar way; I am just trying to make a small tight package for my own "gorilla" mining network/farm in the end. |

Correct I am using z-enemy v 1.08
Ill try and dig it out and see how it goes... but, IDK... Ill give it another chance. I am about fed up with Visual Studio.... I am now getting nothing but cuda compile errors because the version is not compatible?!? Must be VS2017, but it is VS2017... so WTF... Try to compile under VS2015; error, v141 not available, only v140 installed... I need to figure out where my folly is; maybe run the VS2017 installer again, and select both v140 and v141 configs? IDK... I remember having to initially install make/build V140 to build the XMR stak release (which won't build the CUDA DLL's anymore thank you very much)... but I thought VS2015 has 140 and you needed to upgrade to 2017 to get 141.... yet; the build notes for kloust ccminer states to use VS2015. I swear; some of these guys whom want you to build them software constantly don't understand the nuances of compiling sources from different people... Now; had I been building it in linux; the .sh files would have handled much of the mess for anyone. |

anyway, 3 hours is an insufficient amount of time which you'd know if you understood multipools. thnx for your input. There's a fair amount of truth in crackfoo's reply. There are profitability/luck swings. They are felt more on lower hashrate pools. The % of pool hashrate that you have also factors in on how much you feel it. |

I don’t understand why people jump off raven , i have around 12 1080ti 1070ti and 1070 mix rigs on raven
the last two months , price has been steady and diff is even dropping , lowesr i mined was 3000 a day now im at 5k a day with the same hash , thats near $160 a day which is double what i earned doing eth. and 1/3 more on anything else, its steady consistent and easy, I might buy some lux mine a bit of peigon but profits on raven has only been getting better i have around 900 mhs
for me; I have a large handful of clients I try to keep on the profitability's edge as much as possible. Also being the fact that instead of earning ~120+/mo I earned an entire 0.0035 BTC worth of RVN. Being it's position, and it's role thus far, I don't see it becoming another XVG, DGB, LTC, etc... coin.... I just don't see it. I just see it as a coin people are going to exchange-jockey to death like most others. There's quite a bit in the supply now; and it's price reflects the way people will be playing with it. I only invest in long-term projects: BTC, LTC, BUB, and a little ETC ETH and XMR for portfolio's sake.... "just in case it spikes" scenario. It may be profitable to have mined in the future; but that's a huge IF. When you can be guaranteed to make more; why pick the gamble? I don't buy into coins to gamble unless I see worthy movement; which is few and far between. But then again, I am ok with that as I rarely make a "bad play" in the market. Most of my bad plays are holding out for the next rise, and the one after that, etc.... I could be up probably 1000% more if I had followed my gut.... but again, I prefer solid known things, and still stay at least 2x profits or more on each investment. Update on the yescryptR16 miner: failure after failure trying to compile. I don't have any cuda toolkits other than 9.1 saved; and thus can't compile under any other library.... I hope its not my downfall... I doubt it. I am getting odd errors like incompatible Visual Studio version, must be xxx xxx 2015, or VS2017.... but I have VS2017... so I am presently installing VS2015 to try building the solution in that version..... hopefully it works. |

Just kept on zec it turns a small profit steady.
Im still that way on xevan. I am in the process of finding an open source equihash miner that I can compile myself and not have the BS devfees and extra nonsense like EWBF's trojans.... Stay tuned for that. I have yet (to this day) mine anything equihash for longer than a 6-12 hour test. Everything else has always been more profitable. Doing the ~month on RVN was a bad idea. Came out with pennies comparatively. not even gonna consider barely-listed coins for a while. I have noticed xevan profitability dwindling; I smell an under the curtains ASIC at play possibly... The timing is seeming about right..... saw the new yescryptR16 thing.... just today. Looking at its short run (read its thread)... and how fast it made it to the GPU side... quite a day and age we are living in right now. I plan to attempt to compile the source that turns a 150Kh miner into a 500Kh miner tonight; and give it a whirl on my machine at home. zpool has a stratum port for the algo... so Ill report back my thoughts once/if I get some success/failures. Hopefully I can get this one licked as easy as I got the XMR fork compiled. If worthy; ill add it to my mminer batch configs and push an update for it. Ended up being asked to come back to my old job to work as a Surveyor again for nearly 2x the pay.... couldn't refuse.... been keeping my weekdays rather solid with little time for myself. Their main guy moved on to greener pastures, and they really need the help. The $$$ is good as well, because I am no longer dependent on my mining revenue to pay the bills. I am actually saving BTC now instead of spending it as it comes in.... my last BTC purchase was to spotswood for a frame, just because BTC was the best method of payment.... and my exchange accounts have been doing rather well recently. No bots needed. I hope to try and keep my presence, projects and activities here as on track as I am able to.... It's been a long week, I usually don't leave the office until 7PM.... I'm shitting out corner records and records of survey to submit to the county at record pace...... |
