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.

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

I use the NH Windows miner where it mines the best profitability.

1.82 GHs gives me 0.011 BTC (if not mistaken NH Windows miner uses a special ccminer fork to mine LBRY)

I just let it loose... my 2 Aorus and Zotac 1080ti x 5 rigs are currently on NH Windows miner before they mine exclusively ZEC on nvOC Linux.

The thing about these NVIDIA algos/coins -- there seems to be very active development on ccminer forks compared to AMD's world.

The new NH Windows miner alpha v2, now sports their new excavator multiminer and dropped sgminer.

claymore, ccminer and ewbf are also in the new v2 package.

I dont think sgminer has a good future....  I know that devs like zawawa, wolf etc have had some work done ie. sgminer-gm but now working on their own projects.

Wolf ... if you are reading this, pls comment.

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....

how do you connect 7 x VGA cables to EVGA-1300-G2 ?
I think that PSU has only 6 x VGA pcie connector... no?

8pin pcie to dual 6+2 pin pcie splitter cable. (Or just use an extender cable on one of the existing splitter pcie cables) In general it should not be a problem, just don't run stuff like 2x overclocked 1080s on a splitter cable.

You better check the temperature of those after mining for a while.  I had some molex connectors burn up when pulling too much current through them.

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.

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.

Thanks.
So mine to dreaded Poloniex  and when satoshis pile-up transfer with minimal fee to blockchain.info?

As far as I'm aware Poloniex only charges 10000 satoshi for transfers. Haven't transferred out of there in a while but I just checked and it seems to be holding this low fee.

Regarding current best profitability, for my setup Skein is still number one and has been for the past 2 weeks, Lyra2rev follows $2/day shy. LBRY on Nicehash shows ~$8.5/day for my one 1080ti @ 500mh. I must be missing something...

Have an old pc that I am running 1x rx480 4gb and 1x 980 ti to use for playing around and learning more about mining. When I find something that is doing better than what I am running on my main rigs I transfer that and get a little more btc. So, was using EVGA Precision X for fine tuning the 980 ti, but like MSI Afterburner better. Just loaded afterburner on this pc and look at that! MSI has incorporated BOTH AMD and Nvidia support into afterburner! Seems like I have just as good control of the amd card with afterburner as I had with wattman.

Do not want to try it and fry a motherboard as the cpu 8 pin has a different pinout and those are saying cpu pcie which is impossible because of the different pinouts. Anyone know where I can find these?

Because of BTC  price so high all my ETH rigs 480s and 470s are selling ETH hash at Nicehash marketplace. On normal days, they mine at Dwarfpool collecting ETH. Other rigs Nanos and 390s are ZEC rigs.

All my 45 AMD rigs are running smos.

All my 9 NVIDIA rigs 1080tis, 1070 and 980ti are on Windows and nvoc Linux.

The rigs on Windows are running Nicehash Windows miners, 5 x Aorus 1080ti and 5 x Zotac 1080ti AMP..... they move from algo to algo depending on highest profitability as per NH rental rates.

Dual mine sia at nicehash!
It'll be worth your time to get it up and going trust me

I paid fullzero for some test usb 3.0 sticks  I will be posting results.

@ xleejohnx  I got the m2pcie to pcie adapter  yet to test it.  maybe over the weekend as I will be doing builds.

very cool can't wait - i'm tired of dishing out extra BTC for SSDs - I actually had to use a few 1Tb drives because I ran out of 120's and just wanted to get some more up and running. I need to ebay those 1Tb drives and stop being lazy.

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....
<snipped>

how do you connect 7 x VGA cables to EVGA-1300-G2 ?
I think that PSU has only 6 x VGA pcie connector... no?

I was not looking to run 7 GPU's.... if the cables are anything like my current EVGA PSU in my gaming rig, each of the PCIe cables have both 1 (6+2) and 6 pin on each cable, which would allow up to 6 cards...
I was looking to only run 4 on the 4U case if i have power issues at running it.. but after playing around with the gigabyte cards i got recently more.. they are very power efficient once you get them down around 60%tdp.. like im managing to pull 850Mh/s per card still at 60% tdp limits on air.. and wattage draw according to the miner varies from 148-166watts, the only thing keeping them from being pushed more is tight spacing around them plugged directly into the motherboard in my 2nd pc in a mid atx case, the 1st card is sucking the hot air in from the 2nd card, resulting in 11c difference in temps between the cards....  idk if i can push it i pay build a 5 or 6 card setup if i can keep the wattage down to not trip a breaker...

5 would be ~875watts..
6 would be ~1050watts..

One thing i found is the newest EVGA card is extremely limited on MSI afterburner, you can raise values above stock, but you cant lower them and the card we got in the mail is pulling 283watts at stock settings, literally no way to reduce tdp on it...
