Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

Any experience with 1060 Zotac or evga mini single fan? Contemplating between that or evga gaming dual fan. Seems like the obvious choice would be a dual fan card unless blower style but maybe they use less power.

zotac 1060 mini 6gb card is pretty good I rna it for 20 days and then returned it to amazon as  I don't have room for lots of mobos and cards.

In a world of magic  where I get all the gear I want all the time I would have a few hundred of these mobos
 at least one dozen  of the boards would have 8 zotac 1060 minis
 

I share the same world of final fantasy with you.... a few thousands of 470s and 1070s, and 300 of these mobos.... I will be a happy camper

has anyone here tested this OS
im getting some 1070s and would like to know how well it runs etc

Hi fullzero,

how many cards can you get working on this board?

what CPU, RAM, GPU did you test for this board?

just visited your link - thanks

thanks

just wondering if your Linux OS is a good candidate to be integrated in Tytanick's smOS ?

I am testing your OS soon standalone - looking fwd to it

I don't want anyone to have to pay to use nvOC, now; or in the future.  Running a website does have overhead costs, and requires maintenance; so I can understand why Tytanick is planning on eventually charging a small fee (especially with the number of smOS users; demanding resources from his server or instance).

I have already had members request farm management tools and local stats / web management.  I will probably make an application users can run on a single computer on their lan to get stats / push updates from.  Then maybe, I will make a website like smOS.  I am guessing that most members who run a farm would be able to ssh / vnc / rdp ect... into a single rig running the stats/push application on their lan to remote monitor and push changes to rigs; so there isn't really a need for a website anyway: however maybe I am completely wrong with that assumption.  You can probably give me solid feedback on that.

fully understand on your objectives for this OS.

I am looking forward to test your OS on my development machine soon.

Some form of dashboard will be useful for farm deployment (ie. 10 rigs and above)

I'm sure you already noticed on the other thread.  I really like this cpu, I usually go cheap with cpu's using G1840s or G4400s; glad I tried this one.  4x threads makes it alot better for +cpu mining; reasonably priced as well.

I have that CPU.

I just have been busy and not tried the new os.

[kopija]

The existence of ETC is a major reason why ETH really can't go POS; not that I think it was likely in the first place.

This two statements are intriguing, especially connection between ETH not being able to go POS because of ETC staying POW.
Could you elaborate?

ETH going POS would be like Coke deciding they will no longer produce Coca-Cola Classic, but will only sell Coke zero.  

In the future you will get 100:1 chance to get Coke Zero when buying Classic!
https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/Casper-Version-1-Implementation-Guide

Their bullshit has its own bullshit.

Called this over a year ago; took 6 months longer than I expected.

The closer you look at ETH; the more questions you will have. 

The best thing ETH has going for it is that most people will never read the whitepaper or review any of the code.

I'm betting in 6 months there will be a nerf announcement; which drastically reduces what ETH will actually do.

So with POS essentially being out of the door, the question of Ice Age remains.
As I understand it, its main purpose is to prevent the necessity of another hard-fork.
But this article https://btcmanager.com/ethereum-ice-age-approaches-community-vote-on-mining-reward-cut/
states

The Ethereum ice age is a mining difficulty adjustment scheme that was created to incentivize miners to switch to the new PoS blockchain. Once the fork is executed, the mining difficulty rises exponentially to a point where it would be impossible for miners to keep up with the difficulty increase that would hike block time and make the blockchain effectively freeze.

So, with POS being postponed (indefinitely?), how will Ehereum deal with bloated blockchain now? Another hardfork is imminent. But it leads to the question of increased difficulty.
In context that is also relevant to our interests, there is also the issue of proposal to reduce the mining rewards in an effort to boost ETH prices.
https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/186
But that proposal was written when ETH was worth less then a dollar.
With current high prices of ETH, the incentive to reduce the rewards diminishes.

So with all this in mind, I am totally confused still. So much smoke and mirrors.
POS coming and not coming at the same time,  increased difficulty on current blockchain to force move to a new blockchain, reduced mining rewards, you name it, ETH has it all!
Please somebody tell me whether I am to go forth and build another (Vega?) rig.

Why not use the Pentium G4560, it is significantly cheaper, also 2C4T and only has 10% slower clock speeds compare to i3 7100.

Okay  I do have a few pentium  and they are  next worthless for mining cpu.

I do have a lot of 6400t four core and when I am mining with gpus they are turned on and using power.

If I mine xmr with it  only 3 threads  the extra power is almost nothing at all.  say a bump of 20 watts

20 watts = say ½ kwatt  or at 10 cents a kwatt it is 5 cents  a day more power.   I have 2 6400t psu running xmr at the moment they spend 10 cents in power and earn 60 cents

a net of 50 cents 

I have one running hodl  it earns  16 cents and spends 5 cents  a net of 11 cents

71 cents a day x 365 =  259 usd extra for 3 6400t cpus

You can find them on ebay

I get 9 % off due to an ebucks promo    so the 145 price drops to 132 

the pentium 4560 is 62 after promo it is 57  so I paid 132-57 = 75  for 1

I have 3  so 3 x 75 = 225    and I earn 259 extra in a year   a profit of 259-225= 34.

And the i5 6400t will hold value for ebay resale.

here is a new i3 7100t  newegg on ebay

imho even us small miners would like an OS like smOS that would run both AMD and Nvidia that we can access from work, travel, etc. Thanks

well if it comes down to 2 os's  1 for nvidia and 1 for amd  that  would be good enough for me.

I am drifting   into too many nvidia and not enough  amd.

I need to stop buying the nvidia and wait to see if vega  is  a good card.

I'm trying to force P0 and then use power limiting to manage power.

2. Nvidia Inspector is not setting it correctly

you have an hp  gpu  am i correct?

if you do it is a custom bios and may not  work like a standard  1080.

did you load  msi afterburner and try to use that?

also zotac has a  tweaker

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/zotac-firestorm-download.html


I would  try msi afterburner  4.3

with

75% power
100+ core
300+ memory
75% manual fan


then try  the same settings with zotac firestorm.

I agree with Phil
Having to run two os isn't a problem at all
I'm sure smos will have nvidia support sometime
But for now you have my support
