you don't need to live under your parent to live with 1k, i can live with 500 and i'm alone, just don't be stupid and build a family with 500 or 1k again don't say shit like "you have no clue", when you know nothing about the cost of living around the world if you think that you need 3k a month in every place of earth just to have a normal life, you are the one which is clueless another thing to add
why in the hell you need to aim at making 60k or 19k a month, when with a regular job you would only make 1k?
let's be equal here, if you want to get rid of your steady job, you need just an income of 1k per month, it can be reached easily by mining any shitcoin if you have proper electricity
A couple of gross details to point out. Hopefully you can correct me or correct yourself. $1k / month ?? Who can or will live on a $1k a month ? That is $12,000 a year and even the poverty rate in Ont is about $18,000 .. You are suggesting surviving in Ontario at 1/3 below the poverty rate. Even people who are old and home bound or disabled would living substantially better than you. $1k is more like slovakia. Please share your model for mining $1k on a shit coin .. I'm must be the dumbest miner on the block because I can't find one. are you serious man, it's not like there is only america out there, in kuwait or egypt(just an example) the cost is not that high as you think and electricity is at 1 cent even in iceland where electricity is 5 cent and the cost is 40% higher than europe, you can still live easily with 1k, 1k is overkill actually it's not about how much you earn it's about how much you spend also, if you fuck your money in useless stuff, it's not my fault i think you guys know nothing on how much you need to spend each month to survive Iceland 1k/month living easily? You're alone and you live with 500 bucks/month? Pretty hilarious statements (to not mentioning mining in kuwait, sorry but you've got literally no clue about what you're talking)  500 usd/month probably in a communist block, eating each others Haha this is a funny discussion. In Czech Republic 1k USD is about the average GROSS wage ( median is about 900 USD). Actually 60-70% people dont make that amount of money here and they can even have a car and a family!  Dont know about Iceland though, that place seems kind of expensive https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Iceland&city1=Reykjavik&country2=Czech+Republic&city2=Brno&displayCurrency=USD |

i'm not making at all the 440 reported here, but only 1650(412 each) with 4 gpu, 60% tdp +100 core +600 ram
Make sure you are using at least 2 threads. If only 1, then your GPU is not 100% loaded. 1 thread solution is good if you plan to do other stuff with your card. Imagine it as being an intensity switch. We reached 440 with 115W TDP limited card that has OC set to 2120 core and 4700 mem. With next version, it is about 445 with these same settings. Another example is 126W TDP limited card, OCed to 2110 core and 4400 mem (micron with BIOS patch) reaching 440 sol. You can view how far is your card OCed when you launch excavator with overclocking set. yeah i'm running it with -ca -ca , three thread result in a crash how can you consume only 115 watt with core 2120? it's impossible to set the gpu at 2120 core with 60% tdp, without having a crash what you have set on the core? the only thing may be the mem, your is at +900 mine only 600 I believe they mean the core settings without the TDP limitation. Once limited by TDP it will be downclocked for sure. This would mean roughly +220 OC for the non OC cards? |

Where is normal pools for XZC?
Now i mine xzc.suprnova.cc but get little coins.
My hash - 4250 kH/s
Whattomine
4250 kH/s -> 2.202512 XZC/Day
But real on xzc.suprnova.cc
4250 kH/s -> 1.3 XZC/Day (REAL Pool Efficiency 60%)
And ? Whattomine write what they want, they are not official... and they prefer to write bullshit to make sensations. Everybody know that. Ok. Let's calculate manual. Pool Hash: 5691.03 MH/s (from xzc.suprnova.cc) My Hash: 4.25 MH/s Block rewards: 40XZC Est. Avg. Time per Round (Pool) 19 minutes 55 seconds (from xzc.suprnova.cc) The percentage of my participation = 4.25/5691.03=0.00747689 (0,747689% wy work) Total Blocks per day on pool = 24*60/(19+55/60)=72,301255 Total XZC on pool per day = 72,301255 * 40 = 2892,0502 XZC My XZC = 2892,0502 * 0.00747689 = 2.1597 XZC/Day Whattomine 4250 kH/s -> 2.190921 XZC/Day But real on xzc.suprnova.cc 4250 kH/s -> 1.3 XZC/Day (REAL Pool Efficiency 60%) xzc.suprnova.cc is BULLSHIT!!! Not whattomine!!!You cant trust Whattomine or other. On suprnova you can check all stats by all blocks what you mining. And lust week difficulty geting up to 40-50k. You can calculate and get calculate only at big period of time and if average difficulty will be stable +-10% but not +-100% like now. And suprnova is best because you can see all stats. But he is right, there is something definitely wrong, it is maybe the miner I dont know, but the profits are really 60% (maybe even 50%) compared to calculations. Ive tested this on two rigs for three days. |

Guys, what is the highest hashrate we can achieve with a gtx 1070? I'm at 503 h/s at 60ºC with gigabyte g1. Please tell me your clocks too Please tell me how did you managed that. I'm with G1 too, but having 450 only  I would also be interested since this is probably a record I got to 480 at maximum and only on two cards i have. Other usually stop at around 465. |

As you can guess from the title, I've made a benchmark list for Equihash. I've gathered info from bitcointalk and the Zcash/Zclassic chats/forums. The list is not yet complete (it will most likely never be since the miners get updated so often and plenty of new cards are coming up this year). Much of the data is being hard to get without first hand experience but I managed to gather some, this is the list at the moment: https://zdeveloper.org/wiki:zcash_mining_benchmarks I'm waiting for corrections and updates. Maybe it will helps some people decide which cards to get next time they assemble a rig. Most power efficient (Sol/Joule) cards: AMD RX480 Sapphire Nitro+ OC 8GB 305/140 = 2.2 NVIDIA GTX 1070 - 8GB 450/100 = 4.5 Shockingly, Nvidia is more than twice as efficient... Nvidia truly beats AMD when it comes to mining Zcash, but lacks efficiency in Monero and Ethereum (except for those special cases where people have developed some very efficient but private Nvidia miners). With these settings it's more like 140-150W. I have 2 x 1070GTX and with -150 CORE and 70% POWER LIMIT I have about 110W/card @ 385sols/s. Even 385/110 = 3.5 J/W. That is still more efficient than the AMD cards. Is that power number from the wall? You can get about 420 sols @ 105W from the wall (i have couple of brands of 1070 and this applies to all of them, do not have 8+6pins though). Both of these comments are innacurate. Firstly you cannot get 450 sols at 100w with ANY 1070. Secondly it is bad underclocking the core for equihash algos. |

Just as a FYI, I'm approaching 100% failure rate on my EVGA 1070 model 5173s. These are the first gen pre-pad cards. They almost 100% guaranteed don't have the pads if the bios is .70 or older. .72 come with the pads installed.
Kudos to EVGA and not testing their shit. All the other EVGA models (even pre-pad) are fine. It's just these really cheap ones. Guessing they skimped on the VRMs in addition to not adding the pads. They're really PoS.
You may not have problems with them if you mine Equihash, but if you start mining some of the more demanding algos they'll start burning out on you unless you install the pads.
I have couple of those and one of them died for me so far. But i dont really care since EVGA gives me my money back and I buy a new card with new 2/3 year guaranteee. So i would like all of my cards to die |

Using version 0.3.1b,
Gigabyte gtx1070 G1 Gaming,
MSI Afterburner core clock +85, mem clock +650,
power limit @ 100% (or higher - makes no difference) 460 sol/s
power limit @ 75% 425 sol/s
power limit @ 60% 390 sol/s
so I'm sticking with power limit 75% for now.
Anyone have a better suggestion for maximizing sol/s vs. power consumption?
There is no universal solution, it depends essentially on those three things: price, type of card and price of electricity. For each one the balance is completely different and you need to find it for yourself. But without watt metter at the wall you will never find balance. |

These percentages tell nothing because each card has totally different TDP settings and curve. What is the consumption at the wall? When i set the settings as you have, my cards take over 160Watt. So for me, it is still much better to go 410-420 sols at 105-110W.
this. TDP and gpuz mean NOTHING, the only correct stat is how much power computer/rig sucks at the wall. I've had gpuz say I'm using 60% tdp, and the wall said it's sucking 150+ watts, so... Yes that is the case. Some brands have higher usage at 55% TDP than others at 80% TDP. This is especially true for the MSI and Palit cards. But you can be sure that no 1070 can hold clock over 2050 MHZ under 150 watts. |

I never pushed memory clock that much, I'll give it a try,
but guys how much power are your cards sucking at this extreme OC?
I optimised it now to around 410 sols, and the whole system with 2 cards is sucking 370W, which is a great success (at extreme overclock, it used to suck up to 500W for me).
I can reach a stable 2100 core clock, but it just sucks way too much power...
It draws 85% from the 1070, the slower one. The faster one with Samsung I can go +700 memory if I wanted instead of 575 The core clock OC has no difference in power draw if you are talking about the GTX 1070. The core clock is just a clock offset while under the same power draw it would be pushed to either way. Memory OC's will push more power into the card These percentages tell nothing because each card has totally different TDP settings and curve. What is the consumption at the wall? When i set the settings as you have, my cards take over 160Watt. So for me, it is still much better to go 410-420 sols at 105-110W. |

|
on: March 04, 2017, 09:27:12 PM

My 470 8GB Nitro does 28.5 MH/s ETH + 285 H/s PASC.
which is not that better than 280 sol in zcash with a single 1060 that consume 100 watt Yeah considering that ethereum might not me mineable in the future, the rx 470 will probably never ROI. Although zcash price is also not looking that good. Yeah but RX 470 is good at mining every altcloin so even when ETH go POS there will always be a new coin that rx 470 would be able to mine and even if mining becomes shit you can always sell it for good money since it's pretty new card This is of course totally wrong. There is just too much AMD cards on the market and most of them are mining ethereum. Once it goes POS people will redirect mining to other coins and they will immediatelly become unprofitable. Only the people with lowest electricity cost or private miners will survive. All of the other miners will have to sell the cards. |
