Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized.

I pointed my 1080ti rigs to miningpoolhub. No auto switching just skein. My zpool stats got weird yesterday, showing only 1.3gh while it should be 5, hence the change.

Now runnng 5x 1080ti per rig, on a 1200W Evga P2 psu. 90% TDP, + 250 core, no change in mem, 950mhs on Skein per gpu.

You are really pushing that PSU...have you measured it at the wall with a Kill-A-Watt?
5 x 1080ti @90% is going to be at least ~225W per card for a total of 1125W for just the cards alone

Any feedback on MPH vs Zpool results?

wasting time mine on zpool, go to MPH for better profit..

You've personally tested that theory and have solid fact based evidence?

[Storx]

Going to switch to SSD. Any suggestions on which ones to use and the connectors for them?

This is what im running over on my 2nd PC rig on Linux... https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MTS800-Solid-State-TS64GMTS800/dp/B00KLTPUPA/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1496883402&sr=1-7&keywords=64gb+ssd

I plan on purchasing a copy of ethos once i get confirmation its cable of being used on nvidia cards.. they dont say anything about it on the site and i can never catch them in the discord server

Has anyone tried a Optane Hypetane drive in a Z270 rig yet?

I deleted your post no facts posted in it.

My facts are I earn more money  with zpool mining only skein vs nicehash mining only zcash.

In both cases I do auto vert to btc.

Same gear

ebwf 3.3  for zcash
ccminer/alexis-1.0 for skein

I earn  about .050 btc a day with skein on zpool
I earn  about .033 btc a day with zcash on nicehash

Hey philipma1957, do you currently have 2 duplicate rigs? Have you tried to mine zcash on zpool and the other rig mine zcash on nicehash that way it's the same test? Using 2 different algo isn't very fair to compare pool profits.

[VoskCoin]

Going to get cracking on this 1080 TI build tomorrow !

You just going to set the mobo on the birch? I was having issues with the 1080's being so heavy, they would lean to the side then the mobo would lose the connection with the GPU, had to secure the GPU so it wouldn't move or wiggle. That's the ONLY reason I'm in cases right now till I build a stabilizer bar for the GPUs

What was your exact setup?

Ran out of gaming cases so just had it on piece of wood -

GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-UD3 ATX
i3
4gb ram
1TB SSD (ran out of small ones)
EVGA g2 850w
3 1080 Ti's

Flawless now that GPUs are screwed in.

but if you show me how to do it I will test it.

for me  I have 2 ways to mine

And
  zec at nicehash make less btc
 then mining skein at zpool makes.

I am mining btc not zec or skein  .  since in both case I get paid in btc.  not the alt coins.

I mine btc  via gpu and auto vert.

I could not care  about anything but btc which is .050btc at zpool  or 0.33 btc  at nicehash.

If you can show me how to mine any coin at nicehash  and do better then 0.05 btc a day with my gear.

 I will try it.

right now in a month  it would be 1.5 btc vs .99 btc  and that is factual.

So my comparsion is btc a day  not skein or zec.  using the same gpus.

So using the same gpus  at nicehash   I get .99 btc
using the same gpus at zpool             I get 1.50 btc

more power  at zpool doing skein   12 kwatts a day  so at 20 cents 2.50 x 30 = 75 buck more power.

so  lower the 1.50 btc for zpool by 0.030 btc extra power or 1.47 btc  vs .99 btc with the power adjustment.

that is 2,740 x 1.47 = 4027 usd  vs 2,712 usd.

Now I have no other facts  but for now I am mining with zpool over nicehash.

Is not skein less power-hungry?
Also, for ultimate profit, why not use miningpoolhub since its fees are lower?

[Storx]

Well today i went ahead and ordered parts for the upcoming build.. planning on going the 4U route.. after doing lots of research i have decided that i like the idea of placing the GPU's off the Mobo and space them out some. The only reason i ordered a case to build the future rig into over going open is i am kinda limited on power right now at my condo it seems. i cant get more than 4 x 1080ti's to last on any of my condo circuits.. i have tried every circuit in the house and as soon as all 4 start mining i trip a breaker.. sometimes it takes a few hours, others its immediate.. the electrician i had come out told me i only have 15amp breakers for all my circuits and because so much is shared on each circuit im pushing it when trying to add daily living with mining.. so this future rig is going to be housed at my parents house in the spare room. They agreed i could place a "few" rigs at their house as long as they are neat and out of the way and not cluttering a lot space.. so the best idea i could come up with was placing it inside of a computer case, but after shopping mobo's it just cringed me to think about stacking 4 x 1080tis right on top of each other enclosed in a case, i can see how they would function in a open case design.. but i need this to be neat and out of the way..

So today i bought a few things i seen on sale that caught my attention..
PSU: EVGA 1200 watt  for $259-5%(-$13)=$246.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYK1CKI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Case: 4U L4500 for $98.99-5%($4.50)=$94.99....https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091IZ1ZG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Risers: Typical Risers $49.95-5%($2.50)=$47.45....https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BMT7CC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have not bought mobo or cpu yet because i am really hoping the new risers i ordered will work with my old gaming pc i retired last year. It has an intel i5 3570k on it with a decent gaming motherboard with 1 x M.2, 2 x16, 1 x8, and 4 x1's. I bought risers previously off amazong and i couldnt any of them to boot with my GTX 1080tis sitting on my desk. So i bought some that many mentioned they are using in hopes they work listed above.. I am probably going to start with only 4 x GTX1080ti's in this system if i can get it to boot with the new risers.. otherwise ill be searching for another motherboard to use the i5 cpu with.. I have an old 5 year old 850watt in that rig, but many people think its the PSU causing them to not detect.. so i bought the EVGA above.. I wanted to go the server route, but PM who sells the kits is out of stock on them right now.. so i didnt feel like waiting more than 30 days for that.. plus the evga was on sale...

In regards to OS, idk what to do about that.. i am looking into miner OS's, but i am finding they are all AMD only it seems.. really like the look of EthOS, but the support page list only AMD cards..
This is what caught my attention.. this guy built his rigs using the same case i ordered with the HD section in the front removed.. he claims 69c temps running 7gpu's per case....

It could be my settings

75% tdp
200 core
-500 ram
75% fan

Are better for Zec watts. You would think they should be same watts since tdp is the same

Do you use mining hub? i tried it earlier today for an hour on my 2nd PC with the current single GTX 1080ti, i only managed $0.41 worth of DGB in that time for a daily rate around $10... i couldnt get the BTC auto exchange to work.. it would default to DGB... i still want to test Yiimp, but that pool has been up and down so much lately its hard to catch it online to test it..

[philipma1957]

So far zpool for, skein is all I use. 

I am short time as  I built 3 mining gaming 2 card rigs tested and will drive them to the buyers.

Coins are so hot now all my friends that game want a 2 card 1080ti rig.

I can build a good one for them and they earn back money when they are not playing.

So top of the line rigs became a lot more affordable for them .

So great, I've been telling friends to just build a "gaming" rig since all of them wouldn't even know where a ram stick went so don't even know what BTC is let alone an AltCoin - but I'm showing them my profits and telling them just build a gaming machine to get their feet wet. They see the amount I've put in in just the last 2 weeks I've spent a few dozen BTC so they know I'm not BSing them. I just want to see everyone learning more about altcoins and crypto in general. So fascinating to me, and I'm not a tech person I'm a certified financial planner lol.

Phil... AMD stocks up due to mining.... interesting times begins.

On hindsight.... We are right to jump on NVIDIA before its gets crazy!

I wonder if there are "ti" versions of 1070, 1060.... I have seen 1050ti going below 150$

an array of 1050tis could be a nice Nicehash multi algo rig.

past few days my 5 x 1080ti rigs are busy mining on LBRY at very high returns, higher than ZEC and Skein -- anyone noticed that?

since these 1050tis are short version and good for reducing heat, and also 75w tdp.... I am going to get a couple before things gets crazy.

Offtopic, but relevant to zpool payouts.
I used miningpoolhub in the past, and switched to zpool recently.
So I am getting these 0.01BTC transactions to my blockchain.info wallet daily.
The other day I bought something worth 400€ and lo and behold blockhain says I have to pay 10€ in transactions  fees (!!!!) due to "many small unconsolidated transactions that need to be consolidated for this payment".
I guess its due to those small zpool payments that are trickling in daily.
Anybody here had similar experience? How to prevent such high payment fees?
Use poloniex BTC adress for zpool payments and then pay from there?
Thanks.

Hmm...from what see skein (1080ti @ 1000mh) 24h profitability is about $1 over lbry (@503mh - ccminerAlexis78 seems to be better on this algo as well, by about 30mh compared to the regular ccminer).
Thanks for the tip. Will be keeping an eye on it.
May I ask if you're using different software?

Blake2s algo seems to be close in profitability as well.

Had that issue also. So what I did was set up another wallet to do transactions from. So I mine to one wallet and transfer from it to the other once I hit .2 btc and that seems to work to eliminate the small transactions. Takes a while for the transfer, but since I am doing to myself and not for a transaction time is not so critical.

Been wondering about that as on NH it has consistently been showing 6+ btc/th. What miner are you using for lbry?

@citronick  Does nvidia do better than amd for lbry? Was trying to get a 5x 480 rig on smos mining straight lbry but not having any luck getting claymore to mine only lbry.
