Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread.

What are you guys using for centralized monitoring and management?

I see awesomeminer and ethmonitor.

Any other options that might be cheaper?

 If you use ETHpool or Flypool, and set each miner up with it's own name, the POOL make a fairly good and FREE monitor.

 Yeah, that 1080ti is going to cool a TON better with no DVI connector and so much less blockage.

For those CPU mining, make sure you enable locked pages (requires Windows 10 Pro); it can give you ~15% or more better hashrate.  It's quite easy to do if you follow the directions in the link below.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190730(v=sql.105).aspx


For CPU mining with NiceHash, under Additional Settings > Algorithms when you click on Cryptonight you will have an option on the right side to enter extra parameters. If it says "less threads 1" it will use 7 out of 8 cores etc.... more information in the link below.

https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/wiki/Notes-and-hints-on-CPU-mining

I did this da  I forgot I did it.

That fucking group buy for avalon  made me forget.  sorry

but the less thread option  was missing on the new build  I did a nvidia 2.0.1.1

https://miner.nicehash.com/

the legacy build  is supposed to be not as good .

seems the problem got fixed by downloading nicehashs legacy miner, done 500 h/s @stock settings which looks like a better number

thank you phill & elder III

Yeah, the Legacy miner seems to be the best option by a good bit over the dumbed down NiceHash 2 miner.  Now that the new one doesn't support AMD anymore it just makes the Legacy one even more of a must.

[philipma1957]

check out a nice hot streak for the cpu's

I should be:

 580  =    1800x
 170 =  i7 6700t
 100 = i5  7500t

that is 850

I am over 2930

I get these surges every few hours.
Of course I also get lows

and do close to 850-900 on average

God damn those lazy f**k hackers.. we put in so much effort in learning testing, forking out capital for equipment all they gotta do is ruin for us trying to make a decent living. real worthless pos those hackers are. But then it happens to remind us that one can never be too careful with security. now i'm even more paranoid.

[Bones972]

mining hash and zpool are all down as well right now.  I think they are just checking on Security to make sure what happened to Yiimp doesn't happen to them.

I never say the pool owner is a thief and was not hacked and is lying and stealing your coins.
I never say the exchange owner is a thief and was not hacked and is lying and stealing your coins.

Here is what I say as a fact.

This is a government regulated company subject to  tons of rules and laws and scrutiny.  They lost the data and execs sold stock in the company right before the lost data was revealed.

So don't trust anyone or anybody it could be a hacker it could be an inside job it does not matter.

I keep 2 btc in my core wallet

I keep  under

 .3btc in blockchain wallet  + bittrex + polinex + coinbase + nicehash + viabtc.com + trezor

I have 3 back up drives of my core wallet.

I also now have a cash reserve for purchase of more coin or gear.

So  no hack  can take a lot from me.

[TheYankeesWin!]

Phil did you have a ratio plan setup?

[philipma1957]

Phil did you have a ratio plan setup?

yes I had an asset debt ratio chart.

I still do.

First  step is pick your number  to be willing to completely lose.

I used to be a 10,000 dollar number
I then became a 20,000 dollar number
I am now a 30,000 dollar number.

gear+coin+cash- debt = 30,000

gear  = gpus+ pc + psu + router + asics  = 20,000
coins = core +exchanges + pools             = 11,000
cash  = bank + cash on hand                   = 10,000
debt  = paypal + cc's                              =   4,000


and I  am 37,000  on the plus side  I may need to move to a 40,000 guy  once the next solar array is built.

now  my gear  is strong on gpus  and light on asics.  I was trying to get more avalon 741's I got 1 but the group buy died.

so the 20 k in gear is 11000 gpu 6000 asic 3000 psu's mobos routers cpus.   all paid off.

coins mostly btc in the core say 2.25 BTC    the rest is BTC and BCC

cash is mostly all cash in the bank  a few on hand

debt is mostly paypal six months to pay.



tweaking the ratio

will be pay debt
increase asics


If you ever get ahead as I have done it is more about maintenance and slow growth of setup.

I have 3 back up drives of my core wallet.

one of those backup sets (and copies of paper wallets/papers with seed words) should be off site. i use a safe deposit box at the bank and rotate drives through it. just in case my house burns completely down, ransomware encrypts my rigs and NAS or something.

i figure anything that take the house and the bank 15 miles away at the same time.. well money will probably be the least of my problems.

yea  me thinks the fans and the heat sinks  are the same on the 1080 ti, 1080, 1070  but the grill is far different.

which is why I finally said I am going to look at all of them closely on newegg.   glad I did.

One of the hack suggested for older 290/290x reference blower cards is to completely unscrew / take off the metal plate frame.

This hack gives minus 5-7c improvement instantly apparently.

I powered up my 290x2, 290x with Stilt ROM mods running decent XMR hash.

This 3 GPU rig went online recently to mine XMR.

These cards are notorious loud and hot, and power hoggers - but the savings from running XMR in the ETH farm will be justified.

what mining software for xmr?

@phil / citronick and ofc any others

have you used an m2 adapter with the gigabyte 270 d3 / your opinions on m2 to pcie adapters for mining

pcie expansion slot adapters / anyone try it with this board yet?

I won't use a m2 breakout.

I killed a board and a card due to a bad adapter.

I have not had a chance to find some 1x pcie.  to 3x pcie break outs.

Citronick has the six slot Board he is going to send one to I may try to use it with a pcie splitter.

I am not a big riser miner.


I also don't need to split .

I have ten mobos that can do thirty five cards with no risers
I could do more cards if I go water block.

I have two more water cooled cards on order.
I may make a lot of water cooled 1070 builds over the next month.

I have bad experience using M2 adapters - tried to power them and it basically smoked and burnt the 4-pin adapter that was provided - that 4-pin molex adapter is of very low quality.

Without using the 4-pin molex, I could get a 1070 working so I guess single 6-pin PCIE powered GPUs should be safer to use with this adapter without power (ie drawing power from board).

Anyways, I have 12, 13 PCI slot mobos TB250 and H110 - so I will use those for high density rigs -- I don't need to use the M2 adapter.

I think better use M2 as a storage link as per designed rather than using it for PCIE x1 - many things can go wrong.

Phil - the office rang me this evening about a box from Shenzen arrived in the morning. I got some 4GB mSATA RAMS too - Pandaminer stlye. Will do the testing this week and send you a unit. Check YM.
