I got 2 miner crashes that needed to be manually restarted.
Also I call bullshit on the algo switching, I made less with the multi algo switching that mining straight lyrarev2.
I did a full 24 hour test run and calculated the BTC per Mh/s -
Sniffdog was only .005 mBTC/Mh/s which came out to .0021 BTC for 400 MH/s - now according to the profit switcher, ever single coin was always over $45-70/day so MINIMUM earned should have been 0.0031 BTC which it failed miserably.
Cool program and all, but profit switching 100% did not work to increase profits, it actually decreased them by 30%
Interesting findings. Currently using Nemos on 2 rigs and I'm not seeing the expected profits either. I’m seeing like 40c off prediction per card per day for the past 5 days using sniff Thanks moondoggie - how many cards are you using - I only dedicated 6 1080 Ti's to it - Also my switch timing was 5min. Earnings were just super low. Switch timing of 5 mins is super short imo. It takes a miner from 10 - 30 seconds to start mining and if the top profit coin keeps changing you could be having a lot of downtime. Personally I keep it at one algo, if something's more profitable by 20% or more I manually switch and check once a day. Thank you KaydenC - I just mine single algo - I went to switching just to run a test, I'm back to single algo on that rig. I can definitely confirm your 20%, it was actually a lot more of a loss than 20% (for me) so yes, back to single algo  |

Phil - I'm really loving the hybrids and just ordered 5 of the new 12 PCIe boards from letine - just really curious how you're going to mount those pesky damn heat sinks - that seems to be my biggest drawback for these, other than that I LOVE the hybrids, solid cooling for sure!
If I mount the 8 in the slots, there will be 8 sinks above those cards, so don't know how I'm going to put the other 4 AND their sinks in.
Right now I just have them jerry rigged on a new tier above them, but if I go with these new 12 card boards, well... guess I'll be able to workshop that issue when they arrive. It's going to be interesting for sure.
But that's what makes rigs fun IMO. I really love tinkering with these things.

spotswood has a good setup rack i posted 2 videos Yes saw the 2 vids - coming along nicely. I just don't think it will do the 12 cards. Visualizing it, it will do the 8 onboard cards, and the radiators will be mounted above those 8 cards on his expensive extra tier, but then I have slots for 4 more cards that need to go where the radiators are, so it won't work. And not crapping on spotwood, but for $200 for that case you said it took over an hour to build, for $200 that thing better build itself. |

Not sure if it took Phil an hour to build just the frame or the frame and the rig. With another pair of fan/radiator mounting beams (+$15) you could easily mount another 4x radiators along the top of the frame. -Rich |

@Spotswood do you build custom sized frames to order? i have the onda b250 d8p but i want a low, wide frame with 2 psu support (and a mount for an add2psu board), 4x140mm fan mounts in back, plus a mount for 1 or two fan controllers. ive already done a frame out of wood and would basically want a recreation of it. |

I think the price on ethcontrol is excessive ($2 per rig per month), but if you just run ethmonitoring it's free and it's a pretty good tool. Author also responds well to polite feedback and is definitely active. |

Yes, i live in Florida.
Warm wet climate where water-cooled cards makes PERFECT sense. I was looking at a semi-similar project at one point for cooling the ROOM I set my rigs up in, using radiators on the intakes and a simple ground-loop setup, but decided it was a waste of effort with evap cooling in my area working so well. |

The new b250 boards do 8 onboard and 4 via riser, so would need the extra gpu tier + the extra mounting beams. Still don't see it working though I don't think the cables will be long enough but I won't know till I get the board. |

Author also responds well to polite feedback and is definitely active. I agree it's definitely too expensive but it is a neat little tool to batch update the farms. But again, at $2 per rig/mo... way too pricey |

I could do it all in under 45 minutes counting the usb 3.0 stick from simple mining. I have the extra mounting beam in the wrong spot in those video's. My bad I will be stacking and doing it correctly over the next few days. |

No worries Phil you're doing an awesome job - I'm just trying to workshop mounting solutions - 5 Hybrids/ 1 SC2 2 Hybrids on the board slots with 2 radiators on the first shelf - 3 hybrids 2nd shelf and 1 SC2 3 Radiators on the 3rd shelf It's not pretty but it's in my bedroom test space - And actually I'm on my way out the door right now to check out the new warehouse I'm moving into! Super excited since the leaser has been delaying this almost 3 weeks.  |

I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere in the thread but could not find the answer, can you tell me what are the power connector requirements for the B250 board?
From the pictures I see 3 SATA and 3 4-pin connectors, are those all that is needed to power 8 on board PCIE ports? (Also the 4 pin CPU and 24-pin MB connectors)
yes. this is for the onda b250 d8p ver 1.0 (the one phil has in his videos). |

Anyone know what's going on with parallelminer? I placed and order with them on the 12th for a PSU, various cables and power boards, then on the 16th I got an email saying the PSU was out of stock and they cancelled the entire order. I sent several emails back, called and left messages, and here we are on the 18th and no response at all. Tried to leave following vm's today, but now their vm's are full... wtf?

Have you tried deepinthemines? https://www.deepinthemines.com/ We have had much better service from them, even during the craziest of times this year. Getting an answer from parallel miner is like pulling hens teeth, while deepinthemines has repleid within 5-10 minutes at 2am before (2am local time for them and us both). |
