Fifth alt coin thread last four got too big.

[TheYankeesWin!]

I guess I did not ask correctly.

Looking at the board on top of the server it looks like you could get a second server  and run 3 more 1080ti's

Are you going to do this?

[vapourminer]

Yeah that is the mobo.
I paid  203 for:

a full case
a E3-1240v2 quad cpu
a 500gb hdd
a good win10 pro
8 gb ram
a working gpu
a working dvd rom
power cord
90 day warranty

seems like a nice buy, especially when factoring in the win10 pro license.

are you using the built in psu for powering the mobo and drive? if so whats the efficiency of the built in psu?

what is the power draw of the board only? i would think that cpu is power hungry, i like using low power "t" cpus in my miner. but might take a long time to recoup power costs considering how good a buy that is.

[philipma1957]

@ yankees  I got a second one today

@ vapourminer I like the t's myself

but these are a real good price.


here is the second one. same case

 less $  but  cpu is close to the same . less ram has win pro 7 with a coa

Guys, how's better to mine sigt? Directly on wallet or being paid on btc via zpool?

I am mining it directly on SupraNova and then exchanging it on Cryptopia myself when i want, been mostly holding as the coin has been dropping with the price of BTC rising like a mad man, so a lot of BTC volume has shifted out of SIGT to go chase the BTC wave, i am not sure how much longer it can rise... but to be honest im making WAY more money on them leaving than if i was to move over myself. eventually the craze from the btc breakout and will settle and it will either stay stable and volume will shift out or it will drop a good amount as people start to move back into alt coins, driving the prices of alt coins back up.

Since i am mining SIGT directly, granted its not the most profitable coin for me to mine currently... but it treating me ok, if i wasnt mining it i probably wouldnt be watching SIGT as closely as i have been... ive made some amazing trades the last 2 days on SIGT, today im already nearing double on my trades and yesterday i managed +68%, ive grown 1.18btc into just over 3.2btc from the volume dumping out to go catch the btc wave, i personally dont have enough btc to have made those type of earnings off btc if i would have gone and chased it myself.

I have moved on to BTX...

Could you tell more ?

1 BTX = $2.38 USD as I type this post

BTX is minable.

Is BTX not a PoS Coin? I thought PoW is over!?

[Jmattes]

Is it me or has btc value increased and nicehash is still paying out the same crummy values per day.. if not worse since I am still making $8-10 per day with my 3 1080ti

Where can I get these charts from

Hey Phillip,

Good job on getting that system up and running are you able to view the display on the riser? i have never attempted this on any of my rigs, i just pre-install team viewer and log in to work on them. If i can connect via the riser that may be something worth looking into...

Could you give me some pointers on CPU mining, i have never tried it but currently have a Ryzen 7 1700 on my main personal rig that back in the day when i did benchmarking on nicehash miner it gave me a rating of 0.670 on cryptoknight, roughly $1.17/day was curious if this is pretty decent or not, i have never actually tried mining with it, because i dont want to turn this PC into something useless to be able to use during the day, since most of the day im on my PC performing my real estate task daily as well now dabbling in crypto trading. Is there a way to specify which cores on the CPU to mine with only?

I also have 6 rigs that control 4 x 1080ti's each that all have Xeon E5540's, they typically stay under 10% cpu usage i noticed while mining... i dont know if i can mine with them as they are on stock DELL coolers

You can mine quite well with a Ryzen 7 1700. Mining XMR will only use up to 8 threads, so you can mine that and still have plenty of CPU left for any general office type PC work load. Even for algorithms that will use more threads you can specify how many to use in either a config or bat file.

Yeah  the ryzen are good for XMR

What I found with this server  is it mines xmr nicely  with 2 1080 ti's  and it sucks with 3x 1080 ti's

As this server is sandy bridge  it is 5-6 year old tech.  So  I am  not going to mine it   with 3x 1080tis and mine xmr

When the second one comes  I will get it going   and it will be a six card rig.  I may  sell the better cpus and put in shit ones.

time will tell.  A lot depends on if buysolar and I make the second larger solar array.

the one we have now provides 'free' 24/7 power    around 13k in the summer and drops to 8k in the winter.

We  hope the next array  will do 40k in the summer and 24k in the winter

Giving us 53kwatts of juice  as a high and 37kwatts as a low.

53 kwatts  is  about 500th of s-9's  or about 35 of them.

but we will mix in gpu gear.

its still mining and still up at yimp

[Storx]

Citronick,

I am not unstanding why your mining BTX, when i run the math its coming out to about $4 per 1080ti, im averaging just over $5 per 1080ti still since block 30k reduction in reward. Maybe you can explain a little more on this so i can understand... I even ran the numbers off Yiimp taking the 24/hr earnings numbers per MH/s and its still less than SIGT, i must be missing something on this....

Just a little news that may change the gpu mining if everything works out for biostar. They stated they are working/resolving issues on a 104 GPU rig off a single motherboard.... WOW HOLY SHIT talk about game changing...
I honestly dont understand how they can get that to work when cpu's only have so many PCIe lanes... but they are smarter than me, so if they get it work, than so be it...


https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@storxusmc/could-this-be-the-holy-grail-of-gpu-mining-wow





These PCIe risers are rumored to be already been fully tested out and 100% functional with using 4 x GPU's per PCIe slot.... even these risers alone are game changing, yet alone if they can get that monster rig of 104 GPU's fully functional.



This is apparently a sneak peak of version 1 of the multi-usb board running 8 x AMD Vega's off a single x16 slot.

they are nice gear but mobo's  and cpu's are not the money bottle neck  that gpu's and psu's are.

has any one shown  say 3 of the 8 board ones working ie 24 gpu's for 1 rig.


Two of these would allow my server to do 8 cards if it was any good.
It would be perfect for the server.

[Storx]

Phillip,

I have been searching for as much info as i can on all of this, because the Dell PC's i use have 4 PCIe slots, this would allow me to condense 16 x GPU's into one rig just using the 4x GPU risers, yet alone allow me to run ALL my GPU's off a single PC with one of those 8+ usb riser boards, from the reading i found you plug the usb cable end of the riser directly into those usb ports and its detected with no additional steps, just load the drivers and such....

3 different sites i read stated that the CPU was the limited factor on the 104 gpu setup, stating that each gpu consumes around 2-5% fluctuating cpu usage... so after 10 cards i guess you would be at 50% cpu load and 20 cards you would be near 100% cpu load, but then again they didnt specify which CPU these numbers were coming from... i could see something like AMD thread ripper or AMD Epyc allowing you to overcome this battle.... If i could load this many GPU's up on a single rig, i would cool the crap out of it, as i would image the CPU would run super hot processing all of that.. i would probably invest in watercooling just for that cpu alone...

Im curious what the usb cable limits are on using something like this or even single risers in general... because spacing out that many GPU's connected to a single computer would be a nightmare

You can follow my BTX mining here

http://yiimp.ccminer.org/?address=15pAaBSJBxBCnwef2N4BriYXv7XQK4CB7r

Over 24 hours the 4 workers (3/4GPUx1080ti rigs) mines around 17-22 coins

Mined to Cryptopia account and sold daily for BTC

I did read about the POS after a certain block

however seems still OK and 500 miners at yimp still hard at it

Each BTX is about 2 bucks.

Profitability per coin is slightly higher than SIGT.

Anyways, will mine till POS and move on to next coin...

...I may push all the 1080s to join in the ETH farm until Nov 1st.

That 4 x USB riser will be good combo with Phil's Z220 strategy.

Have you got a working rig with this adapters?

[Undefined31415]

Support for so many graphics cards is very cool, but I'd have to ask how practical it is to have so many eggs in one basket. If your motherboard/CPU/etc. fails, that means downtime for an awfully large number of cards until you can replace the board. Cable management and cooling would probably be problems too. (Reliable USB cables are only so long.)

[sNaKeyz0r91]

Is it me or has btc value increased and nicehash is still paying out the same crummy values per day.. if not worse since I am still making $8-10 per day with my 3 1080ti

I suppose that is because you are mining a coin (which hasn't been raised) and you are paid that amount in BTC. So why would you want to be paid more?

[citronick]

Anyone has L3+ miners....

I have taken off my group's L3+ farm from Nicehash and experimented them to mine BitConnect tokens at https://bcc.coin-miners.info/index.php, with great success and sold them at Livecoin exchange for shiny BTCs.... 1 BCC is over 100$ and rising. Enjoy!
