8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place.

[dragonmike]

Vegas should hash ~5% slower at a good 25% more power draw.

RX 5xx should have no hashrate loss. Have not checked power draw but assume it'll be a tad higher.

If your results don't match the above, you have probably not set your intensities and worksizes properly.

Using SRBminer I'm getting 1940H/s for my 56 references flashed to 64 1407/1100 clocks, and each of them are using about +20w.  So around 160w using soft power play mod.  They are running pretty hot compared to v7 though.
Sapphire pulse 580 4GB's are still running 1000H/s, but +10watts, again temps are up so i've had to increase fan speeds from 24% TO 33% to compensate.  Not sure how I feel about the extra wattage yet we'll just have to wait for 24hr earnings to see I guess.

1000 h/s for an rx ?! my 580s max at 850 using
1200/1975 and eth straps.  With stock straps its even lower

Yeah i had some mixed memory 8GB 580's that wouldnt budge past 870H/s.  My pulse 580 4GB are just tweaked to perfection with Hynix mem and strapped for cryponote not eth.  I have a separate BIOS for when they used to run Eth. 
I just thought it was strange only Vega's took the big Hash hit, maybe the miners will get more optimized down the road.  I might even just switch the vega's to something else, we'll see what profits are like.

whats the changes in straps needed fr cryptonite? for eth its usually 1500 straps down for hynix

Monero v8:

Vega64 ~1900 h/s with Cast XMR 1.5 on Windows 10 AMD Drivers 18.7.1 and Soft Power tables applied: 1408/1000 -> core/memory
However a 1500 W Corsair is not enough anymore for a 8x Vega64 rig, had to deactivate one.

Anyone see the nethash difference on XMR?   On nanopool from 138Gh to just 33Gh after fork.....   how many asic bricks do you think are out there now?

I think its too early to tell

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html#3m

Currently all we are seeing is just variance.

If its anything like the fork that happened 6 months ago, it will take a few days for the difficulty to adjust and then we can make an analysis.

One thing is certain. The Tahiti's (R9 280X GPUs) all decreased their speeds by 33%, so will be some drop there alone.

I noticed all of my pre-maxell cards took a big hit.


My D8P test rig's hashrate went from ~1470h/s   to ~940H/s

The only cards really "propping" that machine up now are a 1070 and a RX560.... the rest took a major hit in hashrate compared to CN7.

At the same time most of the lower marketcap CN7 coins with decent profitability (Graft, as an example) are experiencing a huge increase in nethash, it's pretty funny to compare the hashrate charts in pools that host monero and such coins, 30 minutes after the monero fork the difficulty spiked up to 125% and it's still rising.

Looks like half the hash got lopped off the network, but yeah we won't know for sure until the difficulty adjustment subsides.

Not bad Phil... see last row -> https://www.nicehash.com/pricing

... but there is a bump up in power consumption.

I think I will go back to Haven and Bittube, because for some weird reasons power consumption for CN-Heavy variants are the lowest compared to all CN7 coins.

MoneroV8 marketplace is also very active and seems oversupply -- see -> https://www.nicehash.com/marketplace/cryptonightv8

[philipma1957]

Looks like 12 mh of hash.  On nicehash.  That is about 800 vega 56 per mh

So a total of 12 x 800 = 9600 vega 56.

Btw my ryZen 1920 does 1050hash burning around 100 watts.

My single rig has 3 vega 56 1 ryZen 1920x and a rx560

Doing just about 5000hash.  Burning 800 watts.  Winter prices means 20 kwatts at 10 cents or 2 dollars in power.

I am earning 3.20 so this is a $1.20 profit for the rig.

Our very own Marvell2 has kindly provided his private pool infrastructure for any friends of this thread to mine Ravencoin (RVN) on. The benefit is it's a PPS pool that doesn't skim your shares so payouts are consistently better than any commercial pool out there.

We're gradually adding workers to it. Expecting to have 4 GH by the end of the day. More if many of you join us!
Don't expect to find several blocks a day (it's a small fish in a big pond) but over time, this will earn you more than any other pool out there.

Pool ip and RVN port: stratum+tcp://67.40.164.169:12345
Vardiff works, just takes a minute or two to kick in.

The problem with BCI is that isn't worth what it says on coinmarketcap. HitBTC's BCI wallet is offline. All these transactions happening over there are vastly irrelevant as you can't deposit or withdraw any coins... So theoretically, mining BCI is currently yielding you zero.

I appreciate you want to stake a few, be aware that the real value of the coin could tumble quite drastically (if and) when Hitbtc re-opens the wallets. Bitfinex, Stex, Tradesatoshi and Exrates all trade them under $1.

I'm still seeing well over 27 Mhash on ETH on my R9 290s - I suspect it's more the sheer size of the DAG file that is making them slow down from the about 30 they managed 2 years ago, more than TLB thrashing.
No, they're not running at stock clocks - though I did have to run them at stock core clock this summer due to the long-running serious heat wave we had for more like 25 Mhash.

What settings do you use?

They have one of TheStilt bioses on them (I forget which level of undervolt offhand) and I usually run them at 1100/1450 when they don't overheat at that setting.
Sapphire reference models with the blower - which blows an amazing amount of air, I had one die and replaced it with a Delta "screamer" 68cfm regular fan and it was blowing noticeably LESS air.

[QuintLeo]

I'm supposed to be picking up 6 x EVGA 1070's tomorrow from a local seller for $200/each; with all rig parts (frame, cpu, mobo, PSU, RAM, risers, etc) thrown in for a grand total of $1200 for the whole bundle.

What do you guys think? Good deal or would you rather hold off to see what AMD brings in the form of 7nm? I don't expect a 7nm release from Nvidia any time soon so not too worried there.

They are making pretty much diddly squat @ my current rate of $0.13/kWh, but I can't imagine 1070's depreciating much below $200 in the next year or two (much less nice EVGA models). I basing this partially off the fact that I sold my old 970 (a generation older mind you) a month or two ago for $150, and partially by looking at the cost of a new RTX 2070 relative to it's performance increase.

If I had the $1200 I'd be all over that deal JUST for the cards.
Even at your rate they should be profitable (though not by much) at efficient settings on ETH, and there are a couple small-cap things they'd do better one.

I'm not seeing deals like that out here at ALL, but I'm sure that very few cryptocoin miners in this area are giving up yet due to the still low (for now) electric rates.

I'm off XMR v8, its not worth the extra time tweaking, heat, and power draw.  Also I have seen quiet a few posts of people frying their Vegas because they were already pushing to the max of what the GPU can handle, so be careful.
