Yeah...I'm already preparing at BEST for the mental anguish of 1/2 of my mining profits going almost poof immediately in July.

This is how home mining died for bitcoin in summer of 2014....blamo.....too much equip .....bitmain will own pow scrypt hostage too it seems soon

I suppose the next step is to play the same game with x11 miners in the future. (ducks.....hey...it is not like they have not thought of this too ..don't ya know)

It is kinda interesting to see what I thought april 1st at 6 buck ltc .would take 10-11 months .probably be all wrapped up in bitmain's favor in like 4-5 months

they are so gonna own pow scrypt and lock out anyone even thinking about making a machine....by Dec getting a Bitmain L3+ will make about as much

sense as getting a T9 Bitcoin miner now.....its bitmain its what they do.....toasters...kicking them out like toasters

Thank you for your help and informative answer. This helps me so much. What coins besides cryptonote see none asic ?
Obviously excluding eth.

rig mixed amd & nvidia. working in win 7 but in win 10 the nvidia not works

i have a problem abou the GTX 1060 3G eth mining hashrate. in win 7 it's working about 20 Mh/s but when i try to mining with win 10. this hashrate is droped only get 2.5 Mh/s. anyone get this problem ? btw My rx580 working

I don't think you are ready to build a mining rig.

You need to be proficient at trouble shooting computers, you WILL run into issues at some point.

It also sounds like you have never used crypto before, only want to get into it because you heard of free money.

You need to do your share of research to understand all aspects before trying to dive in.

Cheers.

Not in the market for a prebuilt  but I have a best buy elite status.  So I get 6.25% off that pc.  It would earn 7 or 8 dollars a day.

Which means under 200 days for it to roi.

 I wonder if it fits a second card.

Would there be any point for a newbie to start mining today?

Congrats on the score, some used ones are going for $50-100$+ markup on ebay lately. From what i have read vega is going to be hard to get too so better have your trigger finger ready when those come out.

I would have, but I needed 12.   have 2 idle MB's sitting here.

I tried to order 6 more and they were gone.

Fuk they go so fast. 

Set autonotify and make sure you have an email setting that updates frequently so you can go right away.

I try to give warnings on here and they are gone in 5min every time.

I am not sure if anyone else mines on MinerGate for Ethereum (or other altcoins as they support a lot of them!), but I have been beating my head against the wall all weekend trying to figure out why my hashrate is so low mining with a GeForce GTX 1070 Video Card.  I just started getting into trying to mine Ethereum with my new gaming rig.  I did a bunch of research on how to start mining Ethereum and I came across MinerGate as pool that I could mine ETH on.  I thought that it was pretty cool that they had their own mining software as well to handle mining to my account for me.  So I downloaded and installed their MinerGate v.6.6 software as well as NVidia CUDA v.8.0.61 SDK (although it says that I cannot install Nsight because I do not have any compatible versions of Microsoft VisualStudio installed, which I am not sure if I need or not?).  I also installed GETH v.1.6.1 and Mist 0.8.10, although now I am not sure as if I even needed to install them unless I was planning to solo mine directly on the Ethereum blockchain instead of mining on a pool?

For reference, my gaming rig is running Windows 10 Pro, Version 1703, OS Build 15063.296 on an Intel Core i7-6700K 4.00GHz SkyLake CPU with 32GB Crucial Ballistix RAM and an ASUS STRIX ROG GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Video Card.

In any event, once I got everything installed and setup on my computer, I ran MinerGate to see how well my setup would mine.  After disabling "Smart Mining" (which automatically starts mining whatever altcoin it feels you will have the best results with, which is annoying that it starts that by default...), I manually started mining Ethereum.  I figured it couldn't hurt to try to CPU mine at the same time that I GPU mine, so I enabled both to see what I could get out of my rig.  However, all I am able to get out of MinerGate is about 420-440kH/s from my CPU (running on all 8 threads - as it is a 4 core, 8 threaded processor) and 8.75-9.25MH/s from my GPU (running on Intensity 4)!  When I Googled what the estimated hashrate that my Video Card should be capable of mining Ethereum, it says that I should be averaging 25MH/s!!!  I also tried disabling CPU mining just in case that was bottlenecking my system, but at best I only got about a 0.25-0.50MH/s boost from GPU mining only with my computer.  So, why am I not able to mine on MinerGate at even 10MH/s when it says that my Video Card should be capable of mining at a much higher hashrate than that?  At this point it seems like I'd be better off trying to solo mine if GETH can give me double the hashrate that MinerGate can...

Any help in getting this figured out would be greatly appreciated.  I am very frustrated that I cannot figure out why I cannot get a decent hashrate out of this Video Card!

That looks nice and clean.

I used to use a milk crate mining rack. Was always antsy about that shit melting and burning down the house....

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you a million times!  

I am very new to this and had no idea what 4g decoding was or that I needed to enable it, I've seen it mentioned here and there but never knew what it was.  After your suggestion I looked it up and sure enough that fixed my issue!  I probably spent 10 hours working on this issue today before posting here.  Now I wish I would have asked sooner.  Thank you so very much crypticj!!!!

Hey everyone,

New to the mining game here and having an issue I'm hoping the community can help me with.  I've searched the web and the forums to see if I can find a solution but no luck so far.

So here is my current situation

I have 3 rigs running SimpleMiningOS - RX Series to single mine ETH.  1 rig has 2 RX570s and 2 rigs each have 4 RX570s.
Everything is running great until I try to put a 5th RX570 in either of the rigs already running 4.  
Once I put the 5th card in the OS takes MUCH longer to load and when the miner finally loads it fails to mine and I get the following message "No AMD OPENCL or NVIDA CUDA GPUs found, exit."

The main rig I would like to add the 5th card to is an ASUS motherboard, z170 chipset i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 1000W PSU.  I have tried the RX series version of the SimpleMining OS and the z170 version with identical results.

Below is a list of solutions I have tried from reading other posts and just general guessing on possible solutions.

1. Swapping video cards.  From the 11 cards I have, I have tried MANY different combinations of cards and got the same result; it works fine with 4 GPUs and fails with 5.
2. Putting each riser on it's own line from the PSU.
3. Switching between SimpleMining RX OS and SimpleMining RX z170 series OS
4. The board has 6 PCIe slots and I've tried every combination of using 5 of the 6 slots.
5. Increased the RAM to 32GB, just because I had the RAM already.
6. Putting all cards on risers and only 1 card directly on the motherboard.

Because the issue seems to surface while the OS is attempting to load I'm guessing the issue might be the motherboard or software but because the issue is happening with my other rig as well, an AMD CPU setup, I'm hesitant to believe both motherboards have the same issue.  Has anyone else seen this issue, and hopefully a fix?

Thanks in advance for any help or information I can get.


EDIT - Also, I've tried going back to the original bios just to see if I could get the system to boot normally and get into the miner with 5 GPUS, it didn't work.
