Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby!

[Toughit]

Last week i 'won' a newegg for a 3090, they stuck me with a motherboard...

In a moment of weakness i bought it.

I did not notice the WB on the part number until I opened the package.

No wonder I 'won', it has an attached waterblock...........  crap.

Then I decided to go with it and found a Bitspower touchaqua diy kit on clearance for $174 at Titanrig.

It arrives today.  Should be interesting as I have not done water before.

I'll try to take some pictures as I build it.

I think the newegg combo was like $2950, plus the $174 all for 120 hash.

I'll be 90 before it pays back!

202 days is pretty good!.

Ill be interested to see if you get that motherboard to hash all 8 slots with no problems, I have only 1 rig running 5 cards.

 (main problem is not having 5 cards of the same type to run in a rig).

Yeah I will test with 7 and 8

I am pretty sure it will do 8 with simplemining os.

My fear is all the power runs in the slots which is why I may restrict to 7 cards

I will use plywood drill a few holes in the plywood  and these spacers

This will help cool off the mobo

I will mount a few of these fans

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-co-9050050-ww-case-fan/p/N82E16835181205?

the key is the have the fan set to blow air above and under the mobo.

This would keep mobo pcb cool and the cards

yes.. i have about a 1/2 inch of space under my onda d8p and have a row of 120s that blow under as well as over the mobo. it does help. mobo stays barely above room temp now (vs when there was only less than 1/4 inch space and barely any airflow under the mobo).

I'm mining with ViaBTC.com, looks like the website is down, mining continues.  Twitter says nothing.  Anyone else using ViaBTC?

Websites down scare me.

[philipma1957]

I have a lot of money there.  Let me check it out .

May be you I logged in and I am all good.

[Toughit]

Wierd.  I am using Viabtc.com.  I tried a couple of websites like isitdown.com, and they both say it is down.

[philipma1957]

Wierd.  I am using Viabtc.com.  I tried a couple of websites like isitdown.com, and they both say it is down.

after checking it multiple times it is having issues but not fully down or up.

maybe a major dds attack

[Toughit]

Miners look to be running, but when I stop and restart, they all say 'can't resolve host etherium.viabtc.com'

Tried isitdown on my phone, not tied to my home pc's, isitdown says that viabtc is down, but the website does pull up




The fun of mining.
Switching back to nicehash, i left them because of their pissing match with phoenixminer.

Half the machines wont start, i need the latest nicehash to proceed

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

[philipma1957]

All my units are running according to simplemining.

and the site kind of works.

between my eth ltc/doge and btc I have over 5k in coin there.

I am on the road for thanksgiving so I cant really dig into the gear until just about 12 hours from now.

I am scheduled to withdraw 0.07 btc tonight which is most of the coin hope it works.


BTW not that I want to lose 5-6k but this year has been good I could lose it and survive.

Happy thanksgiving 🦃 everyone.

[Toughit]

Mine looked good until stopped, then they would not connect.  Maybe they were mining to the right place, but they all stopped when I rebooted the internet connection.

I have about the same on via as you do.

Time to look at trezors....

Looks like a number of pools in China are having problems.

That makes me feel better, knowing its not just Viabtc,

Eth to BTC is very high right now.

I struggle with this question:

1) Mine and hold ETH
2) Mine Eth and buy BTC

I do not need to cash out for electric payments

[philipma1957]

Eth to BTC is very high right now.

I struggle with this question:

1) Mine and hold ETH
2) Mine Eth and buy BTC

I do not need to cash out for electric payments

Easy peasy.

Mine Eth  

convert 1/3 to BTC
convert 1/3 to cash
hodl 1/3 as eth

Personally I do
65% to BTC
30% to cash
  5% to hodl ETH

But my situation is different.

I have partners
I mine BTC
I mine XEC
I mine LTC/DOGE
I mine ETH

All gear is paid off which not the same as fully Roi


And I will be altering my Eth earnings split tonight
I will do
30% BTC
60% Cash
10% Hodl ETH

As you see I do not like ETH as a hodl but since most of my mining earnings are ETH it is easy to switch to the idea of Holding a few eth coins.

Oh I report and pay taxes and I have a very unusual set of circumstances for 2021 tax year and for 2022 tax year. So showing a lot of coin to cash for 2021 and 2022 and even 2023 to 2025.

This works for me, but I would doubt it would be the same for many other people in the USA.

You need to be 64 this year and have a birthday in Jan-Feb-March next year. Plus a shit ton of other factors that most likely works for only a hand full of people.

Did ViaBTC ever start working again?  I moved my miners to F2Pool after they were down for 2 days.

Mine were.  They did zero mining for almost 3 days until I switched pools.

Guys, what do you use as a calculator for CPU mining coins?
Raptoreum isn't profitable anymore, would like to be on top of the best ones to switch.

Okay first off merry christmas.🎁 and hopefully 🙏 happy new years.

Second off
I am finally getting some pny a2000 gpus this monday
and a few pny a5000 gpus this weds.

the rig will have 4x a2000 and 2x 5000 doing about 360mh


I also am waiting on 36 more a2000 and 3x l7


2021 was a good year. no a great year.


Now the bad news my bro in law is fully demented had a stroke and is diagnosed with dementia. he will not be getting better and may last for five to six years in diminished mental state.

it has been hard for my wife and I since dec 2019 she got sick and took until june 2021 to fully recover from covid. then her bro had the stroke in july 2021. so someone or someone else
 has been sick for just about two years.

I dont wish bad health on anyone it sucks.


and more good news my coinbase account with 35k in it along with my cellphone were hacked.

but I had a second hidden phone with microsoft auth a nd the mofos got nothing.

i have been working to restore the cell that was ported illegally from me.

since dec 21 maybe on the 27th i will get it back.

So make sure you take care of your coins.

I need to thank someone here on this very thread for asking me if I had google auth or mircosoft auth vs sms text

if i did not listen to that person I would have lost 35k.

I am going back to look for the post.
