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

I loaded internet connection monitor on chrome on both teamviewer pcs

so far the internet has not failed in a week on either connection.

i talked with ty from simplemining he thinks it is a possible driver bug 🐛 for the amd 5600 or amd 5500

sofar they are up.

Do I interpret this correctly as you've identified a possible SMOS stability issue with 5500/5600 cards and it wasn't internet connection issues causing your rigs to go down?

maybe still not sure, but maybe.

it would be msi 5600 or msi 5500

it goes to reboot and hangs.

teamviewer lets me ssh in and I can reboot that way.  but I can not reboot from the simple miner website.

the beta version with wifi seems to not have the problem.

So I am a gamer who is into FPS games like siege valorant and apex . Tried preordering RTX 3080 after I heard its gonna be a great product to mine BTC with .

The pre-order went like a shitshow and unfortunately I couldnt checkout anything . I already have a 2060 Super 8GB which I mostly use for gaming and its pretty good for mining too but it heats up a lot more than when I use it for gaming since its not that much of a pretty setup .
Thats the reason i'm planning to buy 2 3080 to create a dedicated mining setup .

Then I read an article online comparing the use of FE graphics cards vs using used up chinese graphics cards to mine and as a conclusion I thought I could just hold my thought of making a new mining setup with 2 3080 and wait till I can get some used up 3080 chinese card to create a setup .

is this the right decision to make ??

I know it could take a some time before these things are available but I think the end results will be worth it .

Narf...
Read the 1st post pinned here point-3
No GPU is worth didley for mining BTC.
The crapcoin alts - sure, but forget about mining BTC with it.
Along those lines the proper area for posting about altcoin stuff is here. This one where you posted is for BTC only.

you are going to be moved to alt coins or deleted .

this board is for directly mining etc with an asic machine.


you want to go to my thread in alt coins and read up on using a pool like nice hash to mine an alt coin then have nicehash conversation it to btc automatically.

my thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5144362.0

a 3080 thread for you

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277738.0

note I asked the mod to move you to alt coins.

and I copied these to my thread in case he deletes you.

to aswin123adam sent you a pm.

had to go up to clifton bring home 4 rigs.  they seem to have an odd disconnect issue.

[badbart]

For my 23 rigs I use these wifi adapters to reset my rigs from my iPhone, once my rigs are dialed in I don't do any manual resets.  I've gone weeks without touching my rigs.  I've also found the AMD RX 5000 series seem to crash more and cause more problems then my NVIDIA rigs.  If i do any additions it makes me rethink my AMD plans, using a little more power to have a rock solid rig that rarely crashes is a big bonus, up time is huge.  I have 4,900 m/s on eth and a  5%-10% downtime is hundreds of dollars a month.

I have 8 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 15 rigs.

 four are trouble I will play with them try to figure issues out.

my Nvidia work better but are all old and not very efficient

I here you on the down time 17 gpus were out.

dropped me from 45 a day to 30 a day

or 1350 a month to 900

Back in the days i tried these wifi adapters but because of the high risk of electric hazard i stopped using them. There is even customer pic on amazon what could happen.

a lot depends on rig size all of my rigs use less then 700 watts. which is 3 amps at 240 volts.

Since I use simplemining I could buy his rig resetter.  But for now I am running five rigs in my house

Yeah, i was using those TP-Link HS110, i think i was dualmining that time so the wattage might have been little bit higher than that.

The issue with those adapters is that they aren't meant for mining rigs pulling 1500 Watts of power constantly. They probably rated them for 15 AMPS because they assumed most people would pull less than 100 Watts from them. If you open them up you will see poor soldering jobs and see a fire risk.

I had a similar issue with a Kill-o-watt I ended up killing. Basically used it for years and for a few times went close to 1800 Watts or so, no issues. I only used it to measure power NEVER left it connected constantely. Then one day with a few Antminers I forgot about it being plugged into the wall, after a few days of 1500-1600 Watts I disconnected it and it was melted on the plug.

[DrG]

The most I've put on a HS-100 running continuously has been 1000 watts on 120V. Having said that, the HS-100 has run continuously for 4 years now without problem deployed across 10 rigs. It's good for people not looking for industrial setups and where the convenience of time saving far outweigh any profits from less efficient setups. The nice thing is I haven't had to do any maintenance on them whatsoever. They occasionally ask for a firmware update which I do after a black out.

Yeah 900-1050 is most likely safe.

I have melted more then one  style of k-watt meter in the 1450-1600 watt range.

The plastic looks a lot like a kwatt meter's plastic

anyone been able to get a Nvidia 3080?

I had this one in my cart but could not check it out.

Newegg isn't even sending me "In-stock" notifications. If people are able to get 6900XT before 3080s doesn't that mean that AMD effectively launched before nVidia 

Moore's Law Is Dead is stating that AMD has put 5700XT production on hold to get 6900XT out the door. I think my chances are better with AMD (seeing as how most casuals only want nVidia - for GPU anyways).

If they do a launch of the 6900xt and it does 75mh-80mh for eth at 110 watts it will sell like mad.

In the meantime I have about 1.835gh mining eth earns about 48 usd a day. toss in a little xmr and some kapow I am making about 55 a day.

If the 6900xt drops at 350-450 and does 75-80mh for eth at 105-110 watts it will be a nice win for amd

Same issue more than a few times for me on launch day. I've given up trying at this point.

Yeah I will get one down the road.
Just because I would want one.

But for now I am power capped.

Been many years since the last GPU build i made.

Going to install Windows 10, on the old times had to install MSI Trixx to make the proper adjustments and use cgminer after that.
From what i read just need to install a miner software like CUDA miner and it does all for us.

Any tips on what software to use that makes the underclock and mining on the GPUs?

msi afterburner is good.

and you could try nicehash as a pool 🏊‍♀️ to start.

cgminer? Wow you must be a really old timer to use cgminer. When I started back in 2014, sgminer was pretty popular. People back then were mining litecoin type of forks and all my r9 280x gpus were using sgminer. I remember I always liked the layout of sgminer and prefer that style today compared to most miners which just scroll down.

cgminer was way before my time, I don't think I ever used it even once. sgminer is a fork of cgminer from what I understand but what are the major differences? Was it mostly used for mining BTC or was it mostly used for CPU mineable type coins.

I know that most ASICs use cgminer as the same miner software however don't know if any GPUs ever were used with cgminer.
