It is a known thing this one, that Bitmain only cares about their finances and that is why I like developers like the ones who have developed Monero, they care about decentralisation while Bitmain doesn't and that is a fact.
I think Bitmain has quit going after Monero after they changed their algorithm once, they can do again , so I doubt Bitmain will have time to lose chasing the new cryptonight algorithm.
They definitely won't be going after XMR again. XMR's changed their algo already, people have seen it, and there's not going to be a lot of people willing to take the risk of trying to mine XMR with ASICs again when the response will probably just be another algorithm change to flush out the ASICs on the network. Bitmain's likely going for other algorithms now or improving on current miner designs to increase efficiency. Indeed. Just to be clear, XMR forked once already, bricking the asics mentioned in this thread (or forcing them to mine ETN, which initially forked with XMR, then reverted), and is due to fork again in 8 days time. So XMR is somewhat of a moving target, which will put off a lot of asic folks, hopefully permanently. All power to em, frankly. |

I want to use an Asic Miner. Can you use it or you can`t?
you can't use asic to mine monero. This is blantantly incorrect. Nothing beside knowledge and financing prevents anyone currently to make an asic to mine XMR. It is absolutely possible that a small team has already build a new asic to mine MoneroV7 the same way bitmain mined secretly monero for at least 6 months before starting to sell it. There are definitely FPGAs on V7. However, OP, XMR is about to fork again, so it's a bad time to invest in Monero asics, especially as there are none publicly available. There are plenty of cryptonight asics, and quite a tale behind them, so I suggest some heavy research as a starting point. |

Can't find any documentation on how to do this with more than 9 as well. Save yourself all the trouble and simply just do it on another PC with less GPUs. Borrow a PC if you dont have an extra one lying around. Much easier than flashing the wrong GPU, then have to deal with all the trouble of not being able to boot and all that.
Ok. I am unable to attach a monitor since all is remote. Guess I have to disable 6 cards in device manager and flash 6+7 cards. All cards have same memory. As others have said, I really wouldn't try flashing a multi-card rig remotely. It is 'possible', but inevitably you'll flash the wrong bios and all hell will break loose. Really is better to do one at a time. |

Toss that board and get a ASUS Minin Expert M/B and be done with the BS. I run 3 of them and they are MADE FOR MINING!
you add nothing to the solution... "made for mining" it's just a motherboard, and honestly ASUS Minin Expert has a history of being anything but a mining board. MSI Z270-A pro is great for mining. Well, I dunno! OP: check everythign is actually connected, then time to play with the bios. Start with one card on risers, and triple check your manual for counterintuitive slot configs. TBH I've spent hours struggling with various gaming boards, and given the cheapness of mining boards at the moment I'd definitely just get a dedicated one. They're cheaper than gaming boards, and you'll get the slots working easier... |

so they are gonna do it for real good news for Sia Seems like Sia is going to get back into GPU-mining game, nice!  well, there will be lot of Obelisks, that are the Sia ASICs that will mine SC, so, we have to wait for a 10x price spike to see daggerhashimoto + SC in dual profitable again this fork is only a doorstop for all asics that are not "Obelisk" Yeah, but they haven't shipped Obelisks in volume yet, so in the early days might be worth dual-mining. Obvs once there's asic in volume then there's no point, but that was the reason I asked - there might be a small window of opportunity, if Claymore can update. |

Does anybody (Claymore?) know if the Sia fork will be dual-mineable? Or is an update needed/not worth the hassle?
what Sia fork are you writing about? The anti-asic (well, anti BM and Inno) fork announced less than 24 hours ago. Google it? Looks like an update will be needed, as it's non-standard Blake2b (thus the bricking asic result). |

They're not bricking all asic miners.
They are bricking all non-Obelisk asic miners. Nuance.
So they are limiting the network hash to themselves and the few Obelisk buyers/users that they still have. That's a very risky move. But the day they do, on the other hand, it might actually be profitable again to mine with GPUs as I cannot imagine there are that many Obelisk asics in circulation (anymore?).
That was my first thought - surely nethash is going to plummet when they flick that switch. |

He does not have to post here.
I am on the hook for 2 x 215+ and 1 nest x2g
about 790 usd.
I do expect it before Oct 31st.
and even if it works I no longer expect it to have much value.
It is over 60 days late. the only way it ends up to be okay is if coins rally like a mofo.
I could have purchase 2 amd vega 56's today for 800 they would come in 3 days with 3 year warranty.
poor choice on my part but at least it was not much gear.
I'm in a similar position, except power costs here in the UK mean that mining Vegas isn't worth it (big battle to break even), so the choice is either stop mining entirely, or hope that the acorns will deliver. To be fair to the Sqrl folks, while they are late there are a lot of other external factors making mining a bad idea right now... |

I'd set about undervolting if I were you, those temps are pretty high. I always get one gpu that's hotter than the others too, but personally try and keep em averaging below 65ish.

Monero is irrelevant to FPGA's. I have never considered it a viable option and I am not doing any development on it or any of its variants. Notice that I didn't even list it in my original April 30 post. There are enough algorithms (without Monero or any cryptonight variant) to support 25000 FPGA's now, and at least one top-40 coin can make >$30/day with a VCU1525/BCU1525. However, unlike April 30th, I will no longer post information about any 'good' coins until the algorithms are actually ready for download. I don't expect this type of information to cause anyone to buy an FPGA, but I will say those people who took the risk will be VERY HAPPY THEY DID. By the time the super profitable algorithms are released, it will be too late for the naysayers to acquire hardware, as the hardware will all be owned by the early adopters.
The same goes for people who bought Bittware CVP-13's in the group order. A risky choice, but they will be very happy they took the risk.
If you consider that a BCU1525 can hash certain ASIC algorithms like Skein at almost 3 times the rate of a Baikal X/X10, and also do very well on things like Bytom and the equihash variants, there are tons of future possibilities.
Just to be realistic, I am sure you are brilliant but Bitmain can crush anything you are doing. Especially with with continued delays. They have billions of funds and 100's of talented coders/programmers. In addition, you are saying no hardware will be available after these batches? That just gives Bitmain another chance to leapfrog you. Each delay gives Bitmain a chance to create their own plug and play hardware, and on each delay, mining difficulty will rise and profits will fall. So any numbers being put out know are irrelevant, especially when 5,000 units hit the market. You obviously haven't been reading financial news. Bitmain is almost bankrupt. Their supposed IPO is now considered an exit scam. Their mining machines sell for basically nothing, except for the Z9 series. They are bleeding cash and lost billions by converting their money into Bitcoin Cash which then crashed. Innosilicon has a better chance to survive. Amen to that. Also BM is in a dangerous position because it is the crypto market leader - going after small cap coins with asics just isn't going to pay the increasingly hefty bills. Meanwhile the really big guys (Samsung for example) could annihilate BM from a technical and purchasing firepower point of view. Interesting times. |

And if you're not mining with Vega's, use Simple Mining OS. Switched all of my Nvidia rigs to SMOS months ago. Never have been happier.
Genuinely good tip that. Used to use win10, now only on Vega rigs. Smos is about 100% easier. Another general one: -- Never upgrade to the latest miner version when you're in a rush. It'll always take longer than it should/break something else/introduce a new 'intensity' setting that'll crash your rigs till you work it out... |

Think the fact the second page of products doesn't load is a bit of a clanger... I dunno, if I was running a genuine retail site I'd be pretty keen to fix that...

A noob that's going to be scamed again or a fool who thinks he's going to cheat us because "I've received the tracking number"  Ah, the old, well worn linkbuilding formula of 'does anybody know if mynewscamsite <insertlink> is a scam site?' Marvellous, slowclap, etc. |

So basically thanks to all these ASICs my RX GPUs will never dual mine again most likely.
Since all these algos are GPU compute, they are very easy to replicate an ASIC for.
Sure miss the days of July 2017 when I was making like $2/day extra on top of my $6/day with my RX 470 4GB mining ETH+SC.
yep. Those halcyon days of Dual mining eh. Now all blood, tears and Bitmain manipulations. What fun we have. |

I started as a new client to this company and in this deal, but with the most financial experience, these banks, I know in practice, what is financial well-being, how to invest and accumulate, for me this is possible investment as my additional income, which I now interesting, the manager answered all my questions and even more, I made an average amount of investments, the analyst manager suggested I raise the amount, now I think I will make a raise amount for the increase.
i read your post several times but still dont get it what you want to say xD What exactly you didn't get? My manager answered all my questions, I raise my first investment so everything looks good just stop promoting a scam-store. end Then stop being a scammer and prove your words, I don't understand what can be bad if withdrawal works good, and besides some market risky moves I'm totally satisfied. Jolly good. I have some bottles of 100% genuine London air for sale if you're interested?? Bottled at source. It's the very same air that the Queen breathes, and that is a fact... |

Research, research, research.... Watch frrom the 4 minute on.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOfD0GvQE4wVoskcoin calls out 1 of these people behind this thread/buy ''may'' be unethical. He actually compares these people to Bitconnect. Says her name is, ''Kristy-Leigh Minehan''. How many companies can 1 person have time for? -FPGA Land -Mineority -Oh God Girl...ETHlargement -Acorn -Now Bitcoin Interest? Who on this forum has 5 jobs and are passionate about them all? Haven't seen her promoting the original 1525 order. Seems like they have moved on. Hope everyone who wants refunds on their 1525, 3 grand order get it. They are getting close to their deadline... Research=Knowledge. Ah, the era of Trump and Brexit, where watching a single YouTube video entitles one to claim due diligence. Simply repeating stuff that a bloke on Youtube said - specifically to drive his own engagement figures - is not research-based knowledge. Check your sources. Think for yourself. |

I'd imagine that BTC asics would be your best bet. Hoover up the ones off ebay, cos nobody who's paying for power can run them in the UK anymore. Or order new from Sh**main.
The new algo asics are in high demand and subject to forks and all sorts of malarkey, making them higher risk. A barnload of S9s will gradually turn a profit for very little outlay, and need little maintenance vs gpus.
i was thinking along the same lines as you as in buying Asic's that are unprofitable in most western country's rather than risking with brand new ones to start but either way i will be needing dozens of them. perhaps a better question is what is your asic and how much is it making per day before electricity and what is it mining at least that way its tried and tested As someone already pointed to, whattomine will answer that, obviously those figures will gradually decrease. Fact is though, there are plenty of BM machines in the UK that are being used as doorstops, so hunting those will serve you well. Maintenance is the big question, but at least s9s are relatively easy to pull apart and post back to China. Keep it cheap and start small, see how you find it. |

Same thing happened in 2014-2015. Price of BTC crashed and everybody assumed that the blockchain would grind to a halt because miners would leave and that never happened. If you look at the difficulty chart, there was maybe one major difficulty reduction and remained flat ( the Antminer S5 days) for the next few months before going higher.
Some people just have good electricity rates, mine at a loss for speculation or just want to support the decentralization of the network.
Assume that's the asics. Basically either turn em off, or let em run. Wonder if ETH has enough asics to support the network? Guess we're about to find out. |
