Hiveon. №1 OS for mining

[TiasJ]

If I use Awesome Miner as my primary controller and install the Remote Agent on my Hive OS rigs, do I still need to "register" the rigs in the "Hive cloud", or can I get by with just entering a rig name and password in the init.conf file and never bother managing the rig(s) from the Hive web based service?

I realize that going this route, I won't be able to update the Hive OS version on each rig as new releases come out, but since Awesome Miner takes care of keeping the mining software updated, this is less of an issue I would think.  So whenever a new Hive OS image comes out, that would be when I would update the rigs and of course I can run the nvidia-driver-update command as explained in the previous post to keep the video drivers current.

Thoughts?

I honestly don't get why you'd want to go through all these loops and hoops, for 0 advantage and twice the hassle.

If you like Awesome Miner, just install windows and run their app. I don't see the point, nor benefit, in running hive on your rigs without using any of the features that make it such a great OS and platform to begin with.

The entire point of hive is to deploy, monitor and manage your rigs from a single web-based dashboard.

You basically want to ditch that to use a, IMHO inferior, monitoring tool that doesn't support half of hive's features or miners.

Cuda 9.2 and up are now the default on most miners.
You'll need at least 396.54, which is recommended on 0.6-01 (and above).

Start a Hive Shell session
Run the following commands;

Code:

disk-expand
logs-on
reboot

Note that logs should be turned back off after this procedure if you're running hive off a USB stick

Once you reboot start a Hive Shell session again.
Run the following;

Code:

systemctl stop hivex
miner stop
apt update
nvidia-driver-update

The installation could take up to around 10 minutes on SSD (depending on your internet connection speed) and takes longer on USB stick.
Reboot the machine again once done.

On some systems, OC and FAN settings may fail after a driver upgrade. This can easily be fixed.

Start a Hive Shell session
Run the following;

Code:

systemctl stop hivex
miner stop
apt-get install --reinstall -y nvidia-settings
reboot

All should be working again.

Let me know how it goes!

Actually, just one command

Code:

nvidia-driver-update

is pretty sufficient. Goes brilliant on recent Hives like 06-4x.

Yes, in most cases just running the

Code:

nvidia-driver-update

is enough, but the above steps ensure chances of things going wrong are kept to an absolute minimum. Especially in cases where individuals come from older builds.

after upgrading, following the steps; i still got the error

please help

Apologies if this is a stupid question...I have searched around and I am not finding anything.

I have an RX580/570 farm on HiveOS.  I want to mine the most profitable option.  I am a bit above breakeven given my power situation.
On whattomine.com, AMD cards get the best profit on Nicehash.  I used to mine ethermine.org but decided to try nicehash.
Occasionally...like every few hours, my whole farm goes down.  It appears to be because the nicehash pool is not accepting connections for a few minutes. It will then resume.

My questions: 
Do you think nicehash is the most profitable?

I am staying with HiveOS for sure....I love it...but is the way I am mining through Nicehash the best idea?

Do you know why Nicehash connection goes down so much?

Thanks for your help!

Hi i have one PROBLEM. I am using HiveOS on 6x Sapphire RX 570 GPU rig and everything works ok only LAST gpu (gpu5) is having 20W more power usage then others. Others have 80w , last one has 100w. I tried lowering clocks and voltages, it does not help too much. All settings are the same just that last one has 20w more power usage. No idea why. C
Can anyone help ?
Tnx

It could be that this particular card just needs more juice to get things done.
I've come across cards that no matter what you throw at them, they won't function below/above a certain number, while others can/will.

That's the silicon lottery. You can have the exact same cards, from the same brand, same memory manufacturer, and they can still be vastly different in terms of performance.

That being said, you could try checking the card's BIOS to make sure there are no weird settings set. You could try a different riser. Easy to do is just grab this card and swap places with GPU0, for instance. see if the problem moves with card or stays with the riser. Basically, the general troubleshooting.

I personally think Nicehash should be avoided like the plague. A brief look at their dodgy history alone and the number of users and issues they still ignore should already tell you all you need to know about them. People tend to use Nicehash either due to ignorance(not negatively put but in terms of how and what to mine) or due to convenience with the auto conversion to BTC.
Mining the actual coin yourself, although arguably more time consuming, grants you the power to trade it on YOUR terms. Which, if done correctly, will always be more profitable.

Now, in terms of its mining service and servers, although they constantly claim there are no issues, this is quite easily proven by pointing your miners to (literally) any other pool. A certain magic happens where you no longer experience the same amount of rejects, invalids or connection dropouts.

Hi people, i have a weird problem, i have a 8card rig (rx 580 8gb saphire pulse and 1 saphire nitro with a h110 pro btc+ asrock) when i conect the hdmi cable to one of the rx cards no matter what i do, if a switch the risers, conect to a different gpu or anything else, if i put 8 card the system boots, the hiveos starts but it wont start mining it stay in a dark screen with this symbol on top left (_), but when i conect only 7 gpus starts good and mine good, but if i conect the hdmi cable to the motherboard it recognize the 8 gpu and i can mine very good but i have problem with´applying the fans and voltage settings, why do you thing this happen?

Sorry my bad english
