Hey everyone... regarding the ETH Pill... wondering if anyone could answer these questions:

I have a rig with 6x ASUS Strix Gaming A8G:  4x 1070ti & 2x 1080 (the latter with GDDR5X).

I want to use the pill for the 2 1080's but trying to figure out the process order exactly.

Do you start the miner and THEN run the ETHPILL exe?  or run the pill first and then start miner?

Also, with this screw anything up with the 4x 1070ti's? on the same system?

Finally, is this a 1-time thing or does the pill need to be run every time you restart the miner or reboot?

I think I can answer half or less than your questions. 

My understanding is the pill should be executed and then the mining software should be started.
My understanding is it should always be running.  If you restart the OS, you need to start the pill and then start the mining software.

If i had a 420 coupon, i would probably get one if Zcash is not going to fork.

Zcash is not forking. They do not care who is paying the 20% dev fee.

Well I think it is a great reason to buy one now. but it is bitmain and i don't HAVE a coupon

Yeah same here.  I think I would pick one up if I had a $300+ coupon.

Equihash going ASIC?   Ouch! I built a few rigs out of GTX 1060 3GB cards specifically to mine zcash. Looks like Bitmain Z9 just might destroy Equihash GPU mining for good. I'm at bit of a loss which alternative to mine. My cards can't do Ethereum any more either since the turn of the year, because they don't have enough memory for DAG - Claymore just outright crashes on them nowadays. Any ideas? Should I just cut my losses and upgrade?

I pulled the trigger on one with a 200 coupon

you gotta think too, these are "mini" what is the regular version going to be

Those are the ones they're mining with. The plebs get the crumbles.

Yeah I think I will pass.

Concentrate my money elsewhere for now.

I will also pass.  
I sold a lot of gear.  
I will hold the 18x 1080ti's.
I have left and see how it shakes out.

My 10 L3+ look better now then last week.

I have to sell my A3s and S9s , but Im still passing, ill just buy some vegas mine lux or xmr, I think vegas are the best move now, more powerful than rx , decent at every algo and power efficent with softplay tables and far cheaper than 1080ti which are soon to be obsolete anywyas

1080ti need equiforks or big time rvn jump

not even getting 1 to mess with phil?

[philipma1957]

not even getting 1 to mess with phil?

Nope.

Here is why

5 t1s
2 2/3 s9s
11 l3+
1 a3
8 ltc usb sticks
1 Avalon 841
18 x 1080tis
Free power is 72 amps of 240 derate is done about 18 k watts

Summer power rates start in 28 days 18 cents

So 25 k watts of gear  means 8 kwatt at 20 cents

That is about 38 a day over. Say 1200 a month over cap.

Raven needs to take off to save me.

with the 3 major GPU algos now ASIC-ed..... the last bastion probably X16R/S -- Raven, Pigeon, etc.

Also had everything on Lux / Raven for a while now.
Fingers crossed.

Raven needs to take off to save me.

Well it hasn't taken off but it did finally get another nice bump in price, alongisde BTC so that was nice. I finally sold a little to cover my electricity for the last month and cover the next couple of weeks. I don't think there will be any massive surge for a few months anyways, the devs are moving slow and steady without a rush to pump the price.

If I remember you hit your second sell ceiling? unless you changed them up.

I mined 5200   and 6600 

the 5200 coins were hodl


most of the 6600 I sold from 00000450 to 00000620

So all the sales paid for power and the  5200 are my fingers crossed they just sit in a rvn wallet.

I got lucky with some gear sales  sold gear at an okay price when coins were 8000 usd.   coins are now 9700  so  my 4000 in sales = 4850 not bad.

Have any of you guys heard what the various developers of Equihash based coins  are planning to do in regard to the Bitmain Equihash Asic that's shipping in ~6-7 weeks? I read a rumor that BTG said they would fork, but I haven't heard anything (yet) from others.
