@citronick - what pool you're mining zen on?
Right now I'm poiting towards ZHash.pro (https://zen.zhash.pro/), which went well in the first day, but yesterday I got only 0.2 Zen from 6 x 1080ti which is really low imho. Whattomine says about 0.38 or 0.35 zen / day which I got three and two days ago.
Could you suggest a better pool? Or yesterday was a bad day for you too?

Thanks

LE: What do you think about XVG? Looks like getting much profit than any other coin currently. I'm thinking pointing towards zpool and be paid directly in BTC.

Yesterday was terrible for me too on Zhash.pro. Every pool with PPLNS/PPLNT seems to have it set very conservatively to start dropping your older hashes if it takes even a slight bit longer than average to find a block. To Zhash.pro's credit I once called them out on this very issue and they actually looked into it and made some tweaks that dramatically improved profitability. However, I have come to the conclusion that PPLNS/PPLNT is a bad deal for everyone except pool operators. Sure it punishes pool hoppers, but it does not actually reward those who loyally mine day in/day out as proponents of these payment schemes try to claim.

I've just resigned myself to receiving an average of around 85-90% of whatever minethecoin.com predicts based on average hashrate and 24h difficulty.

I mine ZEN at SUPRNOVA. Mined RVN and PIGN also at SUPRNOVA.

SUPRNOVA has more than 8000 workers at their ZEN pool.... it has 16M sols/s out of the total network 68M sols/s. So its quite a massive pool. I have about 67k sols/s pointed there... just over 10 coins per day.

XVG is climbing the ranks, I bought 0.5 BTC worth during the dips more than a week ago, will be selling my bag soon and buy more NEOs below 50 bucks. Too hard mining XVG, just too many miners/algos/DDOS and those Baikal X10 ASICs can do Lyra2 Myriad-Groestl now, so I just bought it outright at Binance.

I'm also mining pign and rvn at suprnova, but I thought it would be better on a smaller pool, maybe the round earning could be better.
As MagicSmoker was saying, is bad. So I'm gonna wait for the payout to be made and I'll move to suprnova.

In the meantime, I'm trying my luck at zpool for lyra2v2 and be paid in btc. Maybe BTC will climb in the next months...

When I first started mining ZEN - it seems like it was just months ago... probably because it was  - I tried Suprnova and had uniformly bad luck with it. Perhaps I'll give it another shot. I just recently tried zen.miningspeed.com and received an unbelievable 0.057 ZEN after 24h at 2800 Sols/s... which makes that the worst payout, ever, topping the previous contender which was 40% of expected BTC from multi-coin mining the Neoscrypt algo on Zergpool (avoid that one like the plague, if it is even still around).

I also experienced disappearing cards on an Onda B250 recently.  Vega cards, updated to Adrenaline drivers.  Worked great for a while and then two cards just disappeared, no tac lights, not visible in device manager.  Switched cables, riser boards, nothing worked.  Finally used DDU, changed PCIe order of the cards (they are all Vega 56s, Sapphires), went back to the Blockchain drivers.  The cards showed back up.  Not sure whether you are using Windows.
Don't think it is power-related in my case as a 1300 EVGA powers the board and two cards, an IBM server psu powers the remaining cards.  

Just switching PCIe slots makes the computer re-detect the missings cards.  I dont know exactly why, and I thought this was a Windoze problem but apparently not !  I have had this problem with VEGA56s before.  DDU, switch the suspected offender with another slot and reboot, reinstall and all is well.  Dont know exactly why.

Agreed.

So far, I found  RVN and ZEN are also better on SUPRNOVA. I've put approximately 50% of my nVidia mining capacity on each. Normally, I just mine the most profitable coin at the moment...which is RVN. However, I am hoping ZEN will be as good in the long term as predicted and have started to accumulate it.

http://xvg-mg.idcray.com/ seems to be the best pool for mining XVG Myriad Groestl on a Baikal X10.

@ sNaKeyz0r91,

Mining XVG Lyra with nVidia GPUs  is very good now ....but the profits are twice as good in mining RVN. Here's the RVN profit calculator:

It's pretty easy to mine RVN and sell it for BTC on Crypto Bridge.

I moved my AMDs to mine PIGN at Suprnova for a few days now with good rewards since the diff is low ...

Dev shared that they have completed the listing application and payment to Crypto-Bridge Exchange.

Expect PIGN to be right there along side RVN, the first two coins based on X16R and X16S.

If you in the mood for some casino luck and take your mind away from the Bitcoin charts.... PIGN maybe your consolation...

Any pointers on getting a miner that is stable for RVN?

I've tried a few of them that are linked in the ANN thread.  I think they're all ccminer variants.  None of them will run longer than 10 minutes without crashing my rig, rigs that are stable 24/7 for days mining Zcash with EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner. 0.3.4b.

I have found that I have to reduce the core OC by 20 or 25 on Linux to make Enemy ccminer stable with 1070 and 1080 Ti rigs compared to what I use for equihash. Since RVN is a mix of 16 algos, finding the sweet spot is a challenge.

I still use the latest enemy build in SMOS and it works great.

However, if you mine at Suprnova, you can use the inhouse Suprnova Miner - it can do x16R (RVN) and x16S (PIGN) - works as good as the other miners and best thing is no dev fee! Its also listed in SMOS, otherwise download at https://github.com/ocminer/suprminer

The X16R algo that RVN uses will push your cards and PSU to the peak - "R" for random.

The X16S algo that PIGN uses however, was designed to normalise X16R and smoothen the hash peaks and power spikes - "S" for shuffle.

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting news about Canaan future plans. 

I hope everything goes great for them.

[Steamtyme]

I remember back in September when we tried to do a group buy with them it fell apart; as a result of their plans to go public.

That's why all the pallets from that point on needed to be handled with a bank wire; the group wanted/needed to pay with BTC.

I never really thought on it after that I'm surprised they ran into so many issues.

Yeah the difficulty has gone up allot on PGN.... I was quite enjoying the amount of coins I could get with a single 1080 Ti about 10-12 days ago when I pointed a GPU from my personal machine at it.  I'm hoping that X16r and X16s really take off this year since I like what both development teams are trying to do.

Speaking of CB / RVN, a quick heads up for ppl mining RVN and using Crypto Bridge--you may have already heard this, and precise details elude me--but a 36 million RVN sell wall appeared on the exchange, with no corresponding footprint in CB's ledger, and stayed around for 4-5 hours to the astonishment and speculation of everyone on RVN discord at the time (including me). Some panic sold.

Apparently, someone bought 3600 RVNs and a bug credited him with 36 million, which he then immediately tried to sell. The consensus was that the exchange noticed the error, created another account, and "purchased" it to get it out of there. Many recriminations against CB ensued with some refusing to ever use it again. I have no idea what happened but hope it gets listed on more exchanges soon.
