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

[badbart]

Other subject, just got a RX5700 reference model for fun and its actually quite decent.  I paid 390$ cad and it came with Borderlands 3 which I wanted anyway, after minimal tweaking gets 56mhs and it can go higher but I had a crash or two so I dialed it back.  Its using about 110-115watts core on gpuz so probably 150-160w total.  I'd have to get time to test some memory straps but quick tweaking seems to work injecting them with Eliovp's amdtweakerxl.  I wonder if anyone got it above 60.
edit: Also I find it fun that since bitcointalk is indexed on google or something, I can search "9th bitcointalk" and b00m it pops up

i have 12 running around 52.  Might regret buying them, once eth is done not sure what to do with them.  I was hoping they would have other miners developed by now.

I don't have access to my main account (philipma1957)
still tossed you some merits with my wife's account



Main reason I am posting is:
I have been trying to run some randomX with my threadripper 1920x and it is fucking with my head  I suspect I need a bios tweak.

is anyone running a threadripper on randomx?

please let me know  tia. Phil

[philipma1957]

just got back to main account


yeah I cant seem to get my threadripper do well on randomx.

Some early 1st gen Ryzen/TRs crash on RandomX, it's a known hardware bug. You need to disable Opcache in BIOS.

I manged to get it up to 5100  which is less then other but still better then the 1100 it was at.

it may be the ram which is 4 sticks of 16gb 2400 timings are 17 17 17 17   I will play with them.

[Philipma1957cellphone]

 3x 3900x
1x. 1920x
1x. 2700x
1x  3700x

All under preform a bit I need to get ram tweaked.

These all have one or two cards

Still pretty quiet and earn about .5 btc in a year most likely they will earn less.

[philipma1957]

So the

 3x 3900x run well
 1x 1920x runs well
 1x 2700   runs okay note it is a 2700 not a 2700x
 1x 3700x runs well
 1x 3600  will get setup tomorrow.

 I will have seven running randomX  and 1 gpu each a vega 56 or a 1660

Yeah, if my D8P rig does not sell;  I need to find a new purpose for it....

I guess I could try plugging it into RandomX....   What seems to be the algo used with Nvidia nowadays?

Some equihash variants, C29 (C31 for more powerful versions) and MTP are yielding a little something. But it's not brilliant.

Vega64 on RandomX anyone tried it?

Pointless.

Anyone know if there was an ice age delay for the Instabul hardfork that happened a few days ago? Seems like the block times are still >15-16 seconds or so. The ice age usually gets delayed with every hard-fork since the POS is a while away.

Looking at the block time charts,
https://etherscan.io/chart/blocktime

It looks like the block times are still growing and there was no steep drop when the hard-fork happened. And if you look at the previous 2 hard-fork they caused a huge drop in block times.

Im not sure how much memory speed becomes a playing factor with the Vegas....  It basically comes down to clock cycles the way RandomX is organized, and parallel threads have a cache space issue (from how my understanding sees it)....


As for the other algos; thanks for the heads up.    I kinda figured it was along those lines.

I might just get an R606 and put it on the lottery instead......

has anyone done this with a ryzen 9 3900x

I am going to try it.

I have found affinity helps mostly in dual-thread CPU's;  since the two threads of the same core (people often mistake them as independent cores) share the same cache space;  its necessary to make sure you aren't trying to cross talk between them or major speed bumps happen..

yeah i tried it with a ryzen 9 3900x not much different with or without.  but the reduced threads to 23 vs 24

does allow for using the pc to do most any other task. this is a decent algo i am making a bit of profit so far.

putting those Ryzens on Verus mining yields much better than XMR Random X

I just had a personal friend ask me about vechain....  something about it being big on product/clone identification or something or other...... he seems to think it might be something.... but this is the first I have heard of it.


anyone have any insight?

I have invested in Vechain for awhile now and I think its a good long term hold because its has a very good platform and many partnerships and customers already. Its also a on reliable exchanges, staking token and no mining. I keep my VETs on their Android wallet.

No shilling here... just responding to Jared.

[NurSie]

to be honest, not a smart move. the best way would be to pick a reliable and profitable chain instead of targetalessly ramming
