Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread!

I have it at 200 watts = 80%

Thanks!  Man, that mini is a power hungry SOB!!

Nah, it's 1080 ti's in general that want lots of power by current standards, my R9 290s tend to sniff at the power-sipping cool running noob cards.

I don't have any 295x2 or 7990 cards or others of the "2 GPU on one board" style though.

yeah  and I can drop any 1080ti down to 125 watts.  If I choose. but 135 -145 watt setting  is most efficient.
I was pushing 200 to keep house warm with cold spring this year.

I set to 150 and my sols are now 4.2  per watt
vs 3.6 per watt at 200.

I will be getting ready for summer soon and will need to set gear much lower in watts

Hey Phil, would you mind sharing the settings you're using for 125watts during hot days?

Right now I'm using 195W +50 core, +300 mems, 68 max temp and 60% fans. The cards are Palit 1080ti Gamerock premium edition. I'm getting about 700-720 sols.
I'm thinking about lowering the watts and keeping a good average sols/w.

Thank you

I see the second hand market for gpus here in Australia starting to drop down to almost reasonable prices. Can get a rx570 for around 300-350 AUD.

In the first hand market, I mean like the online retailers, the price of nVidia is still strong and not much availability.

frankly.... 99% confidence level ..... my next GPU purchase if any, will be NVIDIA.... after the Vegas, I gave up on AMD :-(

On another topic, I ran both farms on RVN today since SMOS updated the miner list to include all the RVN miners for AMD and NVIDIA. Those 1080tis mines like a boss for RVN. This X16R algo is perhaps more suitable for NVIDIA GPUs because the 480/470s were crawling. Ran the farms only for about 6 hours and back to their normal jobs. I did however, buy a bunch of RVN from Cryptobridge and transferred them over to the Core wallet. Let's see if this RVN can buy me a used Lambo a year from now.

Is there a pool that you recommend for RVN?

Yeah looking to a find
 a pool
 b find an exchange

In other news they are saying that they confirmed a Bitmain ETH miner for Q2:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/26/analyst-slashes-amd-nvidia-price-targets-on-new-cryptocurrency-mining-chip-from-china.html

Fuck! Lets hope Ethereum switches algo fast now then. I hate ASICs and the way they centralize mining by taking it from us home miners.

I'm only mining RVN and I'll continue
I love the idea of being anti asic and make things difficulty to asics makers
I'll hold this coin for the end of year, I really think it will be a great coin
There are great devs and community adoption

[Daaaveee]

Also mining RVN, and have bought 0.3 BTC worth, great coin and algorithm. Price has been rising fast over the last week and rightly so.

I'm mining on rvn.suprnova.cc and Crypto-Bridge is the only exchange it trades on at the moment, its a bit slow but works fine, looking forward to the bigger exchanges picking it up.

I am also looking forward to this. Although Daaaveee already answered.

https://rvnstats.info/ <- Might be useful, plenty of information.

https://rvnstats.info/d/000000007/x16r-ravencoin-mining-pool-statistics-v0-1?refresh=1m&orgId=1

Mining pool stats, suprnova is the biggest. I also used yiimp but 2% fee there so swapped to suprnova who charge 1%. I havn't checked out the rest, but happy with suprnova for now so will stick with them.

Thank you

well  I could  say  do

130 watts tdp
100 core
450 mem
68  temp
50  fan

smos   with  dstm  or bminer for zec.

but core differs  if you have different  1080ti's as some are clocked higher

on Palit I think  100 core is high

Nvidia announced a new Quadro series, but nothing so far that would interest miners or gamers.

Do you find this miner better than OCminers version?
With it the 1080ti is doing ~15mhs

use that "enemy" fork from tpruvot's ccminerV225 -- its quite good

No point using AMD cards to mine RVN... its too far behind NVIDIA cards... unless you are using VEGAs

You can get stock 580's to hash 5-9Mh/s averages around 7 at about 100w using SGminer not brian's. try these parameters -I 21 --thread-concurrency 1024 --gpu-threads 2
