Running a test rig 1x gigabyte 1070 itx with a watt setting of 92  gives me 24-25.07 mh of hash mining eth at nicehash

Hi Phil,

this doesn´t look very impressive to me,
compared to my GTX-1060-6 trimmed to ~ 22.3 MH/s.

I personally don´t like the so called Mini-ITX Cards because of weaker cooling solutions and lower base/turbo rates.

ETH-Mining will be useless in a few weeks because of the difficulty-bomb.

If your looking to buy more GPU's, ebay has a 10% ebay buck thing going on today... i just bought 2 more 1080ti's and got 140 in ebay bucks


Any opinions on the EVGA 2 fan model 1080ti's? was thinking of buying 2 of those since ebay is limiting me to only 2 of the gigabytes right now...

So are your Baikal's on NH also?
 I have mine on MPH mining DGB quibit and auto exchange to ETH. MaYbe I should switch to BTC for the auto exchange.

I tried and compared all the pools for the Baikals... nothing beats the returns on NH, ie. sell X11 hash.

Every day the spikes on X11 rental payrate are in several hundred %.

There are many rentors out there that pays crazy BTC to rent X11 hash power.

This is probably one of the biggest noob questions and I should probably go check it out myself instead of asking..
... but how does Nicehash work?

[VyprBTC]

Not sure what you're asking - Nicehash you just download it - enter your wallet address and click start benchmark, it will benchmark and start mining (check start mining after benchmark). Super simple.

 The Mini-ITX cards are good for non-riser rigs as a "manage cooling airflow" tool.
 I don't prefer them to full-size cards, but in their place they're VERY usefull.

 ETH is going to take more than a few weeks to be "useless" - even with the "mining-bomb" the only difference will be that total network hashrate might drops, but how much you mine PER CARD isn't going to change much if at all due to it - keep in mind it affects ALL miners EQUALLY.
 I've never really understood WHY the "bomb" was ever implimented, as it has no REAL effect on mining.

 Nicehash is a marketplace - you rent your machine to them, they then sell it's hashrate (to be picky, they sell each card IN your machine's hashrate as a chunk) to the "buyers" in the marketplace, then Nicehash pays YOU that income less a "handling fee".
The buyer then points the hashrate at a pool of their choice to earn THEM coin.
 That's the short-form version - I left a ton of details out.
 
 As has been mentioned in many threads, the GDDR 5x memory used by the GTX 1080 and 1080ti has much higher latency levels than the GDDR5 5 used by the 1070 and down.
 This latency is a major minus for ETH (and clones) mining (which is VERY strongly memory-limited), leaving the 1080 hashing ballpark 15% slower than the 1070 can manage on those coins.
 This is probably why the 1070 is selling out like hotcakes right now while the 1080 doesn't appear to be seeing a lot of mining sales - the 1070 is a better ETH card and ETH is the "big gorilla" in the GPU mining world.
 I haven't bothered looking to see how availability is of late on the GTX 1060 models, as they don't work all that well for what I'm doing with my machines.

Nicehash is NOT a pool.... its a hash supply and demand marketplace

It basically gets your hash and rent them to people who want to rent hash to mine their coins.... you get rewarded by getting BTC upfront without all the coin confrmation bs if you are to mine directly into a pool

In whattomine.com..... sometimes selling hash to Nicehash gets you better rewards than mining into the traditional pools. With BTC so high now, renting your rigs in exchange for BTCs is really no brainer.

QuintLeo has explained it quite well actually.....

Sounds good.
Anyone have experience with this motherboard?:

Going to buy one for less than $100 CDN... Including rebate.

Thank you for the explanation. I may try them first to get my feet wet before I go back into pools.

Tomorrow is big live event and probably last chances to get some free LBC. Every member should get some after it starts, but it's not confirmed yet. Register there and you can use your referral link to get 2.5 LBC per registration. I think LBC has good future and we will see how the price rise after the event

You can use my referral link as a thanks for the informations it cost you nothing. Or don't, it's free world.

So looking at that.  Anyone know how to mine SIA?  I have tried a few different ways and I only get 3000 hash on CCminer and it seems very unprofitable.  Am I using the wrong version or wrong pool or what?  Also seem to get alot of errors as i am not really sure which pool or miner to use.

I didn't try marlin miner yet but the hash rate I google for 1080ti on marlin also seemed to produce low profits.  Is this just a mistake on whattomine?

Also the second on the list is saying nicehash blake 2b.  But if I turn on nicehash and disable the algo's one by one.  None of them look like they are minging blake.  It seems to be missing?  I have tried on 3 dif computers all latest version or one version behind.

Anyone know which algorith, it is on nicehash?  Equidash?

Finally got my mining rig up and running thanks to PHIL for the Win7 disk!

Thinking I just park my rig over Nicehash until the weekend when I have time to tune and tweak.
Anyone have some quick and dirty numbers for (2) 1080ti's running on Nicehash?

Does the standard 70% tpd, 150 clock, -xx mem with fans 50-70%, work?

Thanks phil, I went 70 tpd, +200 clock, -300mem and fan at 60%..
gpu 1 is 65 degrees, gpu 2 is 58

When I move back into my house and put it in the basement (this weekend), I will throw the fan up..

What should 2 1080ti's be earning a day. Nicehash says between $12-14.. I thought it would be $20+
Maybe my setup isnt tuned?

Ignore 82C as its put my card into thermal throttle;  And I induced this by cramming a 960SSC inbetween the 980 and 1070.... it sits riiiiight up against the massive cooler of my 1070.

I am just doing some tests of my new batch coding, and wanted all the cards in my main box for right now.

Somehow MH/w is 4.5 through all this; temp, stock settings (no overclock, just fanspeed 100%).

All 3 cards are at 27 intensity.

4.5 is pretty good for skien no?

roughly equals 0.00001800 BTC/w/day...

SmOS does not allow any clocks of any kind I can only adjust watts as it is in beta .

This card can do 31 on windows 7 with 65% tdp 150 core and 450 ram along with 75% fan

4.5 is average for Skein. I like to keep my 1080ti on 6.

Hello fellow miners, what are you mining with your GTX 1070's?

What are your settings if I may ask? At 80% TDP it's about 4.7. It seems like you need to lower TDP alot to reach 6.

[bentcrypto]

Yes it's adjusted right down:
