There are at least 2 accounts I have noticed that have been spamming the boards with the same whatsapp contact number claiming this is where they bought hardware. Until the mods catch on and ban these guys please be careful and dont fall for their game. Every post from both accounts says the same thing over and over.

Just remember its only worth chasing max profitability if you sell your coins immediately. If you are planning on holding go with something stable.

How many AUC adapters are you looking for?

I might know a guy.

I know that pimps next release will attempt to have a unified logging structure to see what exactly is going on but for right now you have to make do with claymores logging. For the fan issues, make sure you have nothing set in the claymore config file if you want the fans t obe managed by the json settings. A lot of people miss that and leave the claymore settings in which conflict with the system settings.

MSI boards are known for being just about the worst board you can try to mine on. I dont even offer people support if they are mining on MSI boards, its just a bad idea. You really should try running linux instead. It is just so much more stable.

Also, set all of the cards back to FULLY stock settings. Get things stable before you mess with Afterburner.

If you guys would go and read why they did it and what happened with the 100% mining rather than just claiming they are trying to do you dirty you might understand a bit more. All these click bait headlines claiming it was done nefariously is such bullshit.

The 100% usage was a mistake, it is now set to 30% cpu usage and only on one tab no matter how many tabs you have open. They publicly posted about this and asked for feedback yet everyone is running around saying they are just trying to steal your CPU cycles for their gain. They are TESTING this as an alternative to ad revenue.

They also explicitly state that current gen adblockers will stop this from happening if you dont want to participate.

First things first, since hardware quality varies card to card there is no exact science other than testing as you said. If you have a large enough farm you can go with some very conservative clocks and see how everything reacts.

As far as longs or finding out problems you havent even mentioned which miner or OS you are using. Nobody will be able to answer your questions without a few more specifics.

People throw the word 'scam' around on these forums so much more than they ever should. If something doesnt go their way immediately everyone screams scam like its going out of style



The reality is Bitmain is far and away the largest miner manufacturer in the world but their customer service lags. They arent out to get you, they are just disorganized on the support side.

My thoughts are that this has nothing to do with bitcoin and shouldnt be posted in this section.

Isnt that what I said?


I mean I guess you could buy your own and try to run cgminer on its own that way but why go through all that hassle to half ass run the miner without any of the controls that the Avalon RPi image offers?

You need the AUC no matter what as it is what converts the SPI signal into USB so the miner can talk to a controller of some sort. The cable is pretty standard you can just buy breadboard jumpers to use as the SPI cable but you will still need the AUC

People like you screw over the people that actually want the hardware. I hope no one is dumb enough to buy this from you.

What pool have you been mining to? Is there a minimum payout threshold that you have not yet reached? 26mh only makes 0.169 ETH per month at current difficulty so you might just not have hit the minimum for a payout.

Avalon uses USB to connect to its serial adapters, which has nothing to do with what he is talking about. To run an avalon you need an entire computer (aka raspberry pi) to control them.

OP: With your requirements you wont find anything profitable to run. It really isnt worth the effort if you are hoping for a return based on your limitations.

Just remember that the efficiency on this unit is so poor you will lose money in most cases. It requires $0.04/kwh power just to break even mining BTC.

No you can not mine to more than 1 pool at a time. It just doesnt work like that with the software that is available on the s7

If you have a bit of a networking background you should be able to make your situation work. You can bridge your lan and wifi connections to provide connectivity to another device via the LAN port on your laptop. I actually do something similar at home to run an older computer I dont have a spare wifi card for.

The s9 has had reliability issues since day 1. If you look around these forums and in the main S9 thread you will see what I am talking about. Unfortunately there is not much to be done about it. Chances are its nothing you did, they are just prone to failure.

Your calculation of profit is kind of wrong. You put the hash rate for 6 overclocked cards into the calculator and only put 120w of power draw total. After power im seeing a profit of $268 at your reported speeds.

The first thing I would do is the basic troubleshooting if you have not. Swap the ports on the controller, try the bad boards cable into a port where one of the known working boards was. Confirm it still doesnt hash that way. If that is the case your only option really is bitmainwarranty. I know they do a lot of russian repairs and whatnot so I dont think they would have a problem working with an international customer.
