One reason for erratic hash rates could be that you are overclocking and undervolting your cards too much. What settings do you have on, and what pool are you mining from? Would you mind posting your miner's stat page? You should know that there is a difference between reported hash rate, calculated hash rate, and even average hash rate. Lots of factors need to be considered and posting more information will help us help you.

Another alternative would be NiceHash's profitability calculator. Although it gives estimates in BTC only and pretty much with their fee already included.
It's the first calculator i ever used because it's so simple.

Here is a link: http://nicehash.com/profitability-calculator

Mining from PC is definitely easy and you should do a simple google search to find out how. There is a ton of resources available to teach you how to get started mining. I suggest you look for "CPU mining monero how to." For mobile mining, it is not recommended at all, you will overheat your mobile device and instead of earning it will cost you.

Hi Izanagi, I would love to join your campaign.

I've backread a few pages but can't seem to find the lowest power consumption possible for a VEGA 64 mining monero, anyone?


I know this isn't the selling thread but by any chance anyone willing to sell me a second hand (but working well with no issues) RX VEGA 56 reference design (MSI/XFX/PowerColor/Gigabyte)? I am willing to escrow payment amounting to $750 for the card alone and extra for shipping to Asia. I just need one to complete a rig.

Don't start at -cvvdc 875. All cards are different and yours may not be capable of going to core voltages that low. You could try with -cvddc 900 and then if it doesn't crash, slowly start lowering in increments of -5.

HA! Joke is on me then. All this time i thought the campaign was still on-going. Oh well.

Quality posts are quality posts.

The pictures you posted are for FB usage, and in that case that graph going up and down is normal. I believe what you should be more concerned about is how your hash rate is going? Do you also have problems with your hash rate going up or down? If its at a constant 20-23 MH then you should be fine. Don't worry too much as long as your rigs are stable mining and not crashing.

What pools have you checked? I used to use hashparty but there are times that they go offline without payment, even when the hashing continues. Just yesterday I was only paid for 3 hours worth of hashing when in reality it was mining the whole day. My advice is to STAY AWAY from hashparty.io.

I'm now using electromine.fr, almost the same hash rate and fee is lower (1%).

Its not explicitly written on the card, but its use by December 23, 2017.
If you are getting both i'll even sell it for only $8 instead of $10.

Thats weird because all you need to follow is the guide on the monero reddit. Here is a link to the one i followed:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/74hjqn/monero_and_vega_the_definitive_guide/

Have you tried the device manager disable/enable trick?
Here are the basic steps:

1. open device manager
2. click on display adapters
3. right click on your vega
4. click disable
5. wait 3 seconds
6. click enable

Tell us how it goes.

I would really watch out for sites like these. Even just one antminer is a big investment you should not take lightly. Regardless of how rich or affluent you are, imagine all the hungry children in asia you could feed with that amount.

Anyway, just a tip, you should always try calling their advertised office number first. If you can get a hold of someone speak to them and try to ask them questions. Ask them for proof of business registration and the like. Legit companies will be able to provide you with what you need.

Welcome to the world of mining and BIOS modding.


You install it normally. Plug it in and run windows OS. It doesn't matter if the windows OS is not yet patched with the pixel patcher. It will display error code 43 but you will still be able to run windows and view your screen normally.


It is always best to do it one card at a time. Basically, install GPU, turn on windows, let windows install the driver, shutdown computer, repeat.

Hi everyone, I have a HelloFresh (hellofresh.com) voucher worth $30 i'd like to sell (i have 2 pcs of $30 voucher cards). I'm just not interested in special food and would rather have bitcoin. Here is a pic of the discount card with the coupon code blacked out:



You can check their website, they sell real meals with chicken and pork, and delivery globally.

I'll be selling it for only $5 worth of bitcoin each. If buyer wants escrow he/she will arrange it himself/herself. Otherwise we just go bitcoin first.

Despite the fact that "the 1080 mines more coins" the problem with your $500 1080 GPU is that it consumes more electricity than your 1070ti. More electricity consumed, more expenses, less profit, longer ROI, etc, etc.. This is all compared to the 1070ti which has an average power consumption efficiency of 4.7 (check VoskCoin's video for reference), you will have better profits.

I use to experience this all the time when I was starting out. As the previous posters mentioned, it could be a bad bios mod, but to be specific, you may be pushing your cards overclock or undervolt settings too much.

The fact that it initially works means you did the bios mod process correctly, the problem lies in your settings. Try and reduce the coreclock/memclock slowly maybe with -5 increments. If that doesn't work and considering that you undervolted it, try adding more power/voltage slowly in +2 increments.

Interesting way of soliciting altcoin picks. Anyway here is my brief contribution:

1. Ethereum - Of course, there is no doubt that ETH is the king of altcoins at the moment. Solid project.
2. Zcash - Its a very mature coin with stable devs compared to the other coins listed. Technology is unique too.
3. Monaco - Allows users to spend anywhere, without fees. Lots of potential right there.

Hi Atriz, i am currently part of your Jolyy campaign but i hope its alright if i also express my interest in joining this. I would formally discontinue participation in the Jolly campaign and make my avatar and/or signature available.

First of all welcome to the forums. You've come to the right place, but please do your own research before asking questions like that.

You question is very vague and it seems like you are just starting out. That question of what to buy, where to buy, and even what to mine has been asked literally THOUSANDS of times. Thats why people made guides for newbies in mining. You can easily find all these guides by doing a quick google search. Here is a guide i found for you in 5 seconds:
https://www.lifewire.com/cryptocoin-mining-for-beginners-2483064

Start from there and ask specific questions if you still have them.
