- GPUs: got 4 used MSI 470's from Phil & the 2 new ones will only be $165 each after rebate. Lucky timing with that since it's the end of the month... ordered 1 yesterday and will order the 2nd on Wed march 1st so that both will be eligible for rebates. Savings total here is about $250-$275.
What are your plans for the ROMs? I have two of those, and I'm curious if you can hit your power goal with those. I was only able to hit 1020 to 1080 watts on a 1200 watt supply. Not enough head room, it seems. Hi Lone... so, I just plan on doing the standard strap-1500 bios mod on the MSI 470's. Well, at least for the 4 that Phil is sending me since those are all hynix memory. For the 2 new ones I'm getting from Amazon, I will either do the 1500-strap (if hynix) or the 1750-strap (if Samsung). Both are exactly the same process, except of course for coping the timings for 1500 as your base vs 1750. The one MSI 470 i have with Samsung worked perfectly doing the 1750 strap, so at least I am prepared for either scenario. I'm pretty sure that the lone Nitro on rig #2 is accounting for about 40-60 extra watts since it is not modded and only very slightly under-volted vs its factory settings. It comes factory over-clocked at 2000 Mhz but also with a default +4 in the voltage offset. I usually override that to 0, which saves a bit of W but that's not anywhere near my average offset per modded MSI 470. I am relatively lucky on this rig in that I have been able to under-volt 4 of the 5 MSIs by average -18 offset (2 at -19 and 2 and -17). The 5th is only -8 because of lower factory defaults in stage 7. Of course, this is always the crap-shoot. Will have to wait and see what the factory numbers are on the 6 for me new rig but hoping for reasonably close to the ones I have on rig #2. The other thing I should mention (and this could be why we differ in total wattage) is that I dialed back the over-clock on all 6 cards on rig#2. I currently have the MSI set at 1125/1925 and the Nitro at 1225/1950. This is about 25-35 Mhz lower than I CAN do on this rig per card, but at those clocks, it was pushing 1050w, which i am not comfortable with long-term. After backing the clock speeds down I was able to get it under 1000w in dual mode. I really only lost about 5 Mhz total hash-rate on ETH (160 vs 165), so it seemed a decent trade-off for me... about a 3% reduction in h/r but 5% reduction in power consumption. Okay, I'm dong the same. I think the biggest difference is my mobo and cpu. I have an old AMD 990 chipset and Athlon 260 CPU. I think both are power hungry, by today's standards. I've tried under-clocking and under-volting the CPU, but it did not really move the overall needle. And.... to make matters worse, I keep blowing the fuse of my kill-o-watt. Sure it's rated for 1800 watts, but I don't think it appreciates a 1 kW load for days. I have to replace the 15A fuse... again. It's a through-hole fuse, so it's a bit tricky to replace. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Okay I changed my eth mining file for smOS
-epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857.Simple -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333
-epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857.Simple -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333 -ethi 7
I am getting an open cl error on my pandaminer
the -ethi 7 is 1 below default of 8 I will monitor results
also is anyone getting eth and pasc to work on smOS?
fast report on the drop from default -ethi 8 to -ehti 7 is a tiny hash drop
I will check power meter I was 12 amps x 240 volts = 2880 watts

Hello Guys,
I want to ask is that stale share percentage in screenshot is that fine or i have problem with that ?
and if there's any problem, how can i fix it ?
I use Edited BIOS + Wattool .
Stale shares over 2% usually indicate too much overclock. Personally I wouldn't worry unless it goes to 5%, if that happens lower clocks/up volts by a small amount and observe for 24h. I think it is more related to too high intensity. Ok i will try to do that, and thank you for the help  |

no smOS but i dual mine eth/pasc with claymore dual miner 8.0 on win7. i point both the eth and pasc at nicehash which pays out in btc. you use a btc addy as the worker name. for those 470s you guys are talking about, I have one of phils MSI 470s, i plan to do the 1500/1750 strap thing depending on what memory it has. i did 1750 strap on my powercolor 470 red devil (samsung) and run @ 1300/2100, got a good 20% boost on eth. havent messed with power settings besides msi afterburner, run -50 mv. you guys do power settings in the bios, and do not use msi ab? |

Linux is more stable then windows . SmOS uses Linux he does not have a voltage setting so voltage must be done in bios. Also you can check on dozens of rigs. Off site from any pc. You can boot or reset the rig. |

never had stability probs win7, maybe im just lucky. i have run ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 (I think it was 16.04) with good results but switched to windows when one of claymores miners did not support *nix. i pretty much only use claymore miners now and it supports remote local miner monitoring/restart/reboot and its watchdog is pretty good. plus afterburner/bios flashing support on win7 and havent looked back yet. but i only run one rig with 4 cards besides my daily driver rig with its one card. |

I try to keep my threads pleasant as I can. we alt coin miners need to cooperate more then we do .
My concept is the more the merrier as steady gpu purchases encourage major companies such as :
Intel
AMD
NVIDIA
Corsair
EVGA
SEASONIC
ASUS
ASROCK
BIOSTAR
Kingston
GEIL
to continue to support alt coins.
MY personal choice is no asic except btc
but I do understand the temptation to buy an asic x11 miner.
for now I will resist it.
ps AT GABRYOX just dropped off the box at ups ground
Thank Phil! Can't wait to get that 3rd rig up! And yes, these threads are easily the friendliest I've seen on this forum. Several others I've been on people are very reluctant to help or give any info at all, which I guess is why i usually gravitate here for even semi-off-topic issues lol. Did you see the older total recall movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger Where he just opens the air on mars to everyone for free? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100802/I go that route with coins meaning let the stuff breath and flow. Don't be like Scrooge was be like what he turned into. Which if you look at the two movies Arnold also becomes a better guy. Of course I stay at coins at a hobby level so I can do this. Hey I cam to the thread to ask about mining on smOS I want to do eth and pasc this is working for eth only -epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857.Simple -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333 below is my pasc info so wtf do I do? PASC Your PascalCoin Payload d3c2c1e866a79ef4 You MUST send your deposit using the unique Payload above. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your deposit. Poloniex's PascalCoin deposit address 86646-64 Show QR Code Hey Phil, for the life of me I can't figure out how you're supposed to configure the .bat file for use with ETH + PASC. I looked through the Claymore 8 thread and seems like in addition to adding the PASC pool info, you need to somehow add a combination of those 2 numbers (Payload and Deposit Address) but doesn't seem clear on exactly how to do that. I even went to the Pascal site but can't find any mining info there, which is a bit weird but maybe I just missed it. |

I am in the process of moving gear to the solar array. I only have daylight access to it. So I need to run rigs with a remote setup. @ GabryRox I will try tomorrow right now I am playing with -ethi settings I dropped from 8 to 7 to 6 to 5 |

They give that exact 2nd example from Poloniex, which I guess is identified by the 86646-64 piece, then the piece after the . if your own Poloniex wallets address. I added this piece to my Suprnova setup for Pascal, then went into my .bat file and simply changed the dcr.suprnova pool address to the new pascal.suprnova address then launched Claymore 8.0. However, this didn't work for some reason. The miner was still trying to mine DCR for some reason, which of course it coudln't do.

I posted this question over on that thread but if anyone here knows, I'd be happy to hear suggestions.

The Panda crashes out quick if I put -ethi 8 or more. If dual mining with Pascal, a lower -ethi maybe required. |

interesting.... hmmmm that whole board is like a giant PCI-USB riser ! As for the pandaminer. The on off switched is soldered directly to two metal spikes on the board. So if you cut those two spots. And wire to them you have the on off but not the re set. My thoughts are the panda miner may not be easy to adapt. I would love to get that board but I have zero clue as to the quality of the website it is listed on. Appears to be Chinese but I am lucky to be able to read English no less Chinese . I will try this for eth + pasc -epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857.Simple -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333 -ethi 5 -dpool stratum+tcp://pasc-eu1.nanopool.org:15555 -dwal 86646-64.d3c2c1e866a79ef4.simple -dpsw x -dcoin pasc -allpools 1 -mport 3333 -dcri 5 this is current setup -epool stratum+tcp://us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0x3ef297e47404a771139472b93621f82c8a832857.Simple -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333 -ethi 5 and we are off and running  some drop off in eth  https://pasc.nanopool.org/account/86646.d3c2c1e866a79ef4?up and running  this is with -ethi 6 and -dcri 6 seems good for power hash and stability  |
