[XMR] What Hardware and Software do you use to mine the MONERO XMR

[superresistant]

Can i use exhange wallet mining monero? what is monero payment id?

You cannot mine directly to an exchange with Monero except on very few pools but you'll have to pay 0.1 XMR per withdrawal.
Monero payment ID is what you need to deposit on an exchange. Without payment ID, any deposit is lost.

Just moved into a new flat and electricity's free for a few weeks so I'm running ccminer on a Gigabyte GTX 770 OC which yields a measly 0.25khs. Also using the spare CPU cycles on a dedicated box in a datacentre with minerd which adds another 0.15khs. In total, this could actually cover the cost of the dedibox at the end of the month, not that bad when you think about it. 

Lucky you.

xmr was very good with 290's in the mid of 2014, not now.

It quite good right now. It's one of the only alternative to ETH.

New here !

Hmm, was looking around, and you guys say, you get a measli 2kh/s from those video cards.
Yet, as I'm seeing to join, I checked for one of the light machines, to join, and they rate a 'stupid' GT520 @ 14/20Kh/s ?
As where I live, it's hard to get decent processors, it's or Celeron, or I3, or Sempron, so, I actually have two machines running Linux 64Bit, with GT520 cards. rated at 14/20Kh/s, they should do not that bad ?

Can you guys point me around a bit, where you can exchange, if it's needed to join a pool , and so on.

thanks

Those numbers seem way off for those cards.

Exchange is polonoex. Pool list can be found on monerohash.com

Hello Gingerale,

two questions

1) what works better ? Radeons, or Nvidea's  ? R390 seems really cheaper then Titan (x).

2) How works Titan (6GB) vs. Titan x (12GB)? surely, the Titan has less cores then the Titan X .

I'm looking for a std board with min. 4 Pci-e slots. Found one with a Xeon 12 core.

laters ?

[Server2850Guy]

And sorry,
One more question.
How's the hashrate from monero, if you look to other coins, like etherium, etc.

I found this list, that publishes hashrate, but for a lot different scripts
http://www.mininghwcomparison.com/list/    only a few for scryptonight, what should be  monero ?

1. Radeon's get higher hashrate. Nvidias are more efficient (less electricity).

2. No idea re: titan. The miner software was written on Maxwell architecture. I think titan is the previous generation.

I don't know what you mean by this question. Monero uses a different algorithm than ethereum etc. Hashrates not comparable.

[Server2850Guy]

Hi again,

is there a page that publishes results for different cards, and monero ( cryptonight ?)
alternatively, is there a way to calculate hashrate you get from another coin ( eth, litecoin, etc ), what you'll get for monero ?

I want to be informed well, before buying 'new' stuff, which will be difficult enough, as I have to import all.

What is needed to run a node, concerning mem/proccessor(s)/diskspace/ net bandwith ?

what is needed, just to hash, let's, let's say per card installed.

And what do I need to have installed, to get a Linux machine working, and not really into soft from pages that launch you at their pool at once.

First steps will be some experimenting, and like said, I can get a nice board to start, with nice processor, and an offer for 3 Titans ( not the X)
As I see, the Nvidia gtx690 has some 3000+ cuda cores, that should be a nice option as well ?

thanks for further advice guys

H97 Anniversary
6x RX 480 ASUS OC Dual

Power draw is about 850.

Each card is producing 580-590H/s on Claymore

All cards are stock, for now

Happy to listen to any suggestions for increasing the hash rate!

Find a custom bios for those AMD 480s.

My XFX REFERENCE cards produce ~725 h/s each on -h 1024.

Also note the custom bios that can be found will reduce your power draw vs stock cards. So its a win-win

I am keeping my eyes peeled! Sadly haven't stumbled on one yet, so in the mean time playing with Wattman settings

I'll tell you what to do, if you want to be informed.
Don't go to the pub this weekend, just take a seat and read, read, read related threads here on bitcointalk

 Titan X is Maxwell, original Titan I think was next older generation (Kepler?), Titan X Pascal is ... Pascal!

 No Titan model is a good hash/$ choice though if you already have the card no reason to not try to use it.
 They're way too much about "bragging rights" and you pay a major premium for that.

Hi there,
my sapphire rx 470 OC 4gb (ref) mines stable at 759h/s with modded bios (1500 timings and more) cc 1150 / 950mV - mc 2090 / 981mV
did not play with -h for now.

where do u find these modded bios?

You can find some in some threads in this forum (sorry don't have kept link).
But the one I use now, I made it by myself.

All you need is polaris bios editor and ATI Flash.

But carefull my first flash resulted in a bricked card. Fortunately had an old quattro in second PCIe to use to unbrick.

Impressive, whats the power performance compared to 480 and ndivia?

GPU-Z shows ~85W and I have 185W at the wall for the entire system (iddles at 80). As a comparison, mining ETH it uses 205-210W.

I think that beats nvidia. nice.

little correction, this power consumption is for cc 945mV/ cm 975mV. After some modification the reload of the setting with trixx modified it a bit and I did not notice.

It was stable over night, still running, but i'm about to try over settings.
