My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.

I made some test with ETHPOOL as pool for ether mining and still not happy.
Expected reward according to Ethpool is lower than all mining calculator (too much lower, not acceptable) , and their average hashrate is ALWAYS lower than the reported one.
In the end, less profit.

I know many of you have come back to Eth mining.
Did you find better options than Ethpool / Ethermine  ?

I went back to renting my Cryptonight hash to Nicehash and let market supply and demand in NH marketplace takes its course.

There's always someone crazy out there who will pay premium above market price for my hash.... and I see that everyday.

NH pays me BTC upfront and cryptonight algo lower my power bill by whopping 25-30% and reduced temps at same time.

The main pools that I have used heavily in the past ethpool, ethermine, flypool, dwarfpool, nanopool all are getting more and more inconsistent in they way they calculate payouts timing and amount; and poolside hash reporting. Even pools with big hash power struggles to find blocks whenever diff level increases - I find this strange because pools like ethpool and dwarfpool are like more than half of the total global hash power (for ETH) -- something is not right (is they such thing as "blocks withoholding" in the alt-mining world?)

Hi Phil - trying to find high and low for that post you did for the 10 pack msata you got for a song.
Do you have the link handy? Thanks

Are those big enough for Windows and/or Linux, if you include swap?

they work with smOS  -------- tested and working
they work with Eliovp panda os --- tested and working


I would think they would work with a standard linux os ?
I would think they would work for pimp os

I would think they are small for windows and won't work

Guys,

Question: I sold several cards, so have empty rig with MB + quite good CPU i7 4690.

Does it make sense to let it mine XMR?

well  simple questions what is it hashing?

how much power is it using?

Again have a problem with downloading Claymore CPU XMR miner - every browser screams that it is virus

Is any other reliable CPU miner around?

when are you doing another build philli?

you can still extract and run the file.

go to downloads page of chrome and choose "download anyways" -- or something like that

business as usual

windows would be a no-go, swap file alone would be 16 gb for certain miners.

my wifes netbook (win10) has a 32 gb built in ssd and just barely makes it. had to add a sd card to give it some breathing room to put data/programs on.

I will give a try with NH but can't do it for all RIGS as my strategy is to hold some Eths..
And currently , haven't found any pool with fair payouts/ recognized hashrate.

could use some help
I have simple mining os set to mine xmr
settings below work fine for me.

does anyone use simple mining os to mine eth coin
I mine at ethpool.org

here are some miners pointed from windows 7 and windows 10

http://ethpool.org/miners/3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857

could someone show me how to set up simple mining os for eth?

There is already a Claymore v7.4 for ethpool format in the smOS picklist.

Just use that -- its quite straight forward and works right away.

If you want to use sgminer-gm v 5.5.5 to mine ETH at ethpool...

Try

--no-submit-stale --kernel daggerhashimoto -o stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -u <ETHADDRESS>.$rigName -p x  -o stratum+tcp://us2.ethpool.org:3333 -u <ETHADDRESS>.$rigName -p x --rawintensity 1008 -w 8 --text-only

replace daggerhashimoto with ethash if problems.

[philipma1957]

-epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857-esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333


so the above should work for 7.4

-epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857/simple -epsw x

so the above should work for 7.4

that will work

i have tried it before

you may want to use "stratum+ssl"

claymore fee is less if you use SSL

I think it will work just like his ZEC miner

I know it's buried here somewhere, but what is the best way to reset/restart a rig remotely?

I did some searches from my phone and I'm coming up empty.

You can use smOS

or SRR - power off / on, reset

or smart-plug - wifi controlled

or one of those APC switched PDU solution
