u guys are solo mining or pool ?
lol you can not solo mining, network is 1 tera Yes you can, actually quite many posters here do solomine. Even my lonely amd 290 managed to find a block during weekend, that happens about once a week on average. Feels a bit funny when 200€ card finds a block worth 50€... Most important thing is reliable and low latency network connection. how much is one block 3-4 ethereum? 5 ETH is difficult to setup the solo mining? i want to try Couple good ones here.. http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/ethereum-solo-mining/http://cryptomining-blog.com/5344-quick-guide-on-solo-gpu-mining-ethereum-on-windows/https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/stratum/releases latest ethminer https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.3.5 newest version of geth.. looks like they just updated this.. need to keep a better eye on that myself. Im running 1.3.4 if ya get stumped feel free to ask> I just figured this out last night myself:) going to point my farm at it today and see how i do for the week Best Regards d57heinz |

I hope you have a lot of hashing power. Finding blocks isn't as easy anymore lately. |

I hope you have a lot of hashing power. Finding blocks isn't as easy anymore lately. Not looking for ease.. I have much patience.. Im running 150 mhs now and will be upgrading to over 500 at the end of the month. I bought 2k eth on the presale and still hold onto that(i am starting to see the light on this coin:) bitcoin cant get their shit together.. Ive been following this coin since birth and have a great feeling about this one.. What i dont like to see is the lack of decentralization. dwarfpool imo is far too big when compared to the rest of the network. http://etherscan.io/stats/miner?range=7 > Im going to do my part in helping this out.. at my current speed with decent luck i should find a block just about every other day.. Which is fine by me.. With good luck i could do far better than being on a pool or it could be worse.. chance im willing to take.. i have great network connectivity so i will give this a go.. Like i said will see how it goes for a week or two.. Best Regards d57heinz |

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get the highest hashing speed out of a GTX 970? I have an ASUS Strix 970 and it wont do more than ~17MH/s I keep seeing people claim this card can do ~22MH/s. I tried this sudo nvidia-smi -ac 3505,1202 this puts memory clock to max, and core to 1202, which should be sufficient for Eth. Upping core freq does nothing.

wow 2k eth, for how much?
1 btc which i think at the time was around 500 usd ..  Had to be the best investment i made so far in crypto But i havent sold so i guess unless i was to do that then i cant say definitively but i feel we have much more upside to go.. I was nervous it was going up way to fast.. needed to consolidate for a bit.. then the next push can start...  Have any of you solominer's or pool's for that matter seen this issue yet.. And do any of you in the "know" have an idea when we will get binaries with this fix in it.. https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/2298Best Regards d57heinz |

The block chain is growing too fast. Is there a proposal to reduce the size? Can the data be compressed in the protocol level?
I have the same thought. It will be good if there is a method to compress the blockchain size in some way and then client decompress a range of block numbers let say for each 100000 blocks (Compressed) when a user type in a Block height. |

The Ethereum price has droped from 0.031 to 0.021, that is about 30% drop. Last time, during the correction, the price dropped from 0.017 to 0.008. We may have more to drop.

i doubt it will drop under 0.015, and in any case it is still profitable to mine, around 0.01 or a bit more per card |

i doubt it will drop under 0.015, and in any case it is still profitable to mine, around 0.01 or a bit more per card If the price is above $3 and the difficulty does not rise. It is still profitable to mine. But the profit is marginal. |

Thanks I got it. I added coolbits = 12 to the xorg.conf and after reboot I got the extra overclock controls in the nvidia-settings panel. Now I am able to overclock core and mem and see the differeince in hashrate. |

Hi all, Does anyone know how to get the highest hashing speed out of a GTX 970? I have an ASUS Strix 970 and it wont do more than ~17MH/s I keep seeing people claim this card can do ~22MH/s. I tried this sudo nvidia-smi -ac 3505,1202 this puts memory clock to max, and core to 1202, which should be sufficient for Eth. Upping core freq does nothing. Output from nvidia-smi -q: ==============NVSMI LOG==============

Now I am able to overclock core and mem and see the differeince in hashrate. I was playing with those settings last year, back then heavily overclocked 750ti could do 10-11MH in linux... Happy to help fellow miner -edit- GTX 970 is far from power saver with those settings |

Yeah, I noticed.
It is drawing exactly the same power as my new R9 380X (150W) and the hash is the same - 20MH/s.
Core/Mem freq are +200 now to 1402/3601.
Maybe there is a coolbit option to enable under/overvolting?
Speaking of which - I am not able to find a way to undervolt my 380X card in Linux...
Gone are the days when you could mod the BIOS with tools like VBE...

You are right, there is some false information floating around on these forums. 20-22MH correctly tuned takes exactly the same wattage on both platforms. Pump up the mem if you want to see where strix really goes, 4000MHz minimum, +20W. It takes some kind of voodoo to make gpu tuning work in linux imo but when that happens there is a nice reward. Where I live you can find 390's openbox at ~260€. They overclock & undervolt (well I only have two) really well. |

The Ethereum price has droped from 0.031 to 0.021, that is about 30% drop. Last time, during the correction, the price dropped from 0.017 to 0.008. We may have more to drop.
i doubt it will drop under 0.015, and in any case it is still profitable to mine, around 0.01 or a bit more per card If the price is above $3 and the difficulty does not rise. It is still profitable to mine. But the profit is marginal. Now is the time to mine, I can see people kicking themselves in a few months for not taking the time to get it all set up There is risk in building the new rigs. If you build the new rig and the difficulty rise and the price drop, you cannot mine at more. |
