Just switched my 1080ti to zpool. What clock settings are y'all running for skein? Thanks

stock.  Power isn't a concern for me.  I haven't heard of any boost other than slightly lower wattage... so, I leave it alone.

I got it going  and I do a bit less then 1000 per 1080 ti.

Skein pays okay better then ZEC.




So I can run 0 core and 0 memory I will give that a try.

Am running skein +180 core and +300 mem 75% power for 880 mh on 1080ti fe and 660 mh on 1080 fe. getting around 5mh/watt according to the miner

I am doing skein again  along with zec

1.7.3 for skein  is doing 950 per 1080 ti

any settings info would help

I am 65% power  125 core -300 memory 75% fan


changed to 70% power 150 core 100 memory 75% fan

I got a bit more hash.

For me I'm using : 65% power 275 core, fan your choice this on NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI. Got it running for days without any issue.

Can you link your miner client? You're still doing more hash than me with lower core settings, as far I know memory overclock doesn't make difference for me.

Am running alexisminer also. doing good for a few days now

What pool do you use? At blocksfactory I randomly get share above target error, and after a long search haven't found a way to solve it. Do you experience the same?

Am running on zpool. In process of setting up another rig with 1x 980ti for grins (got it CHEAP) to see how it does on neoscrypt.

edit: after tweaking it was only able to get $1.67/day at nicehash.

Hey guys, I have a tb85 am trying to get 6 gpu going on but every time I populate the x16 slot with riser the others are not seen. I KNOW it is something stupid in bios I am overlooking, but have been trying for a couple days now so would appreciate a little pointer. Thanks!

Are you on Windows 10?  If so, I built 2 6x470s on that Mobo recently so might be able to help.  Firstly, if you're trying it on Windows 7, I highly recommend the still free upgrade to W10.  I tried to build a few 6x rigs with W7 and was never able to get them running smoothly (or at all) with 5-6 GPUs... even after the reg-mod, etc.  Once I went to W10, absolutely NO issues with 6, except of course for the crappy updates that can't all be stopped, but I think I have mitigated that aspect for now anyway.

One thing that I have found works best is to install the 1st GPU (via riser) in that x16 slot. I have done this on both TB85 rigs as well as ASRock BTC R2 and it worked perfectly. Originally, I tried other slots first and it tended to cause problems.  I load the the first GPU to that x16 slot and have the monitor hooked up to it as well on all 4 of my rigs.  After the x16 slot, I do the first (farthest right, closet to the CPU) x1 slot, then slot 3, 4, 5 & 6 in order, one at a time.

If this doesn't work, you might want to try different risers (if you haven't already). Seems like there are a few bad batches of the molex version powered USB risers going around lately as I have like a 50% fail rate on those lately and returned most of them.  Luckily, the 6-pin PCIe versions seem to me much more stable... I am 12 for 12 on those so far.

[flminer]

Am running smos on that rig which should not have any issues with 6. Am leaning more towards me missing something in the bios not set right. Appreciate the tips!

I got a bit more hash.

Just playing around with my 1080Ti. I've got it running at 916mh without taxing the computer too much(intensity=25).
75% power seems to be the sweet spot for efficiency...power atw goes way up for very little hash gain after that.

80% power=325atw
870mh

75% power=310atw
856mh (best setting)

70% power = 296atw
828mh

60% power = 269atw
760mh

I was able to get those hashrates up another 50-100 just by increasing the core clock. It seems Skein is really responsive to core clock.

[JaredKaragen]

yeah, skein likes core, not mem... its more math than memory oriented like other algos.  You don't get a ton, but you get some out of it.

after all my hyping up skein;  the hashrate on zpool has over tripled in the last week.... (just looked, actually more than 5x)  So I am glad that some people are finally coming around to seeing that everyone jumping on the same horse slows down the ride for everyone aboard.

Im curious on how profitability will flux because of the increase in hash.  I have always maintained the belief (though my own findings over the last year) that if pool hashrate grows beyond a certain point;  you don't feel the luck spikes near as much; and in the end;  overall profitability deltas down a bit.

but then again, the markets are in such a flux recently, that it's hard to distinguish ATM.  I did however love it when I was 10-30% of the pool hashrate for only 1Gh....   Those were some damned good profitable days.  And everyone was screaming about ETH and ZEC value dropping/diff rising.

DGB almost broke 1000 satoshis... which is unheard of.  a week ago it climbed to 100.....
AUR has been garnishing buy and hold support as well, so Skein keeps maintaining its high profitability.

When I start trying to max out the wattage I can safely consume at my home (power included free with my with rent), Ill be looking to underclock my machines just so I can fit more cards in play;  I think it should make it a little better to have more cards running slightly underclocked; than to have less cards running full-ham.

Phillip;

As a test, maybe take that 4 card rig, and split it into two instances of ccminer for 2 cards each....   I wonder if it would give you a little extra on the pool-hashrate-calculation side of things and increase profitability a little.

I.E.
First instance:
ccminer.exe -d 0,1 -i 26,26 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:5033 -u BTC ADDRESS -p  Miner1Instance1,c=BTC,etc.....

Second Instance:
ccminer.exe -d 2,3 -i 26,26 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:5033 -u BTC ADDRESS -p   Miner1Instance2,c=BTC,etc.....

In a few instances I was able to get a little more out of some rigs.  It also helps for shotty or high latency internet connections sometimes.  More data out sometimes helps push packets through the ISP's systems.  It was a big problem for me previously on my cellular connections.

YMMV though.

they are all 3 card rigs and I am running some sidehack usb sticks and some xmr on the cpus

Power is not the issue I can provide up to 48 amps of 240 power.
I am doing only 9-10 amps.

heat is a killer
and my power bill jumps from 9.7  cents net  to 18 cents net from june 1 to sept 30

but I may run one rig with 3 instance as 1 rig has 3 different 1080 ti's

[JaredKaragen]

oah snap;  I misread your naming of the miner names in the password string.  I thought they were listed as the amounts of cards in each rig XD

[citronick]

I am currently running NemosMiner to stretch the legs of a brand new Zotac 1080Ti (and my old 980Ti).
I am also trying out MSI Gaming M5.
This NemosMiner... reminds me of the Jared Karagen scripts not too long ago.

It is based off my batch, which is totally fine.  It's a public resource if you ask me personally, plus crackfoo gave my a very generous donation in the past for posting and updating it.

I love seeing my code snippets all over the net... not just these batch files, but there are others lurking here and there in other sites/apps that I keep quiet about... im not one with an EGO.



skein is really the most profitable ATM.  the switches are just during market flux when buy or sell order spreads spike up....  but it's usually short lived; and the price has to stay up for the auto-exchange to actually benefit.

I don't really do any bios mods myself... im not a power pincher.. but you have a lot at stake, and it could add up.

Phil has been running at -30% power or so I believe, and I have see GPU clocks +300 I believe and good results....

Check intensity settings;
quickly make a batch to launch just skein;  but add -i 26 to the string.   let it smooth out over 3-5 min, then note hashrate;  try up to an intensity of 29; and as low as 21... might be able to tune in hash per watt better that way.  If you up intensity by one, and don't see an increase, back it off one and leave it there, or maybe back it off one more if the below mentioned conditions arise.

But default intensity on ccmineralexis78 has been pretty spot-on for 9-10 series cards aside from the low end 9 series cards, which like an intensity of ~23.  If you put intensity too high, you will see hashrate suffer a bit (sometimes errors and no hashrate), and the display updates are insanely slow.  I get mine to the point where the display updates are a little skippy (dragging the window around) and HID inputs (KB/mouse) aren't horribly delayed.   Seems to be the sweet spot for me.

IMHO, all this bad BIP148 talk is giving weight to the other BTC contenders especially ZEC (215$), XMR (35$), DASH (126$).

In fact the OP, Mr. crackfoo has suggested the same.

The ZEC is similar to bitcoin but with more features. So there is a possibility that it will rise.
