Just want to share something here phil

I was using windows 10 for mining, since ever, only tried mining os for a few times, but always got back to windows
But last week my system started to crash without any reason, it was working 24/7 without any issue

Rig with: 5600xt, 5700, 5700xt, 3070 and 1660super
I made everything i recommend to people   - drivers, card position on mobo, risers, cables etc

But now I decided to gave a chance to HiveOS, put on an SSD, configured on website and voila, my system are now stable for some days, without any issue, it's just hard to undestand the overclock on linux coming from windows, but it's really good to have everything stable again

Maybe I'll try simplemining on my secondary rig

I suspect windows 10 updates messed with my miners, and this is annoying because I blocked everything, but windows always find his ways to update  

Windows is a sneaky mofo.

I have some ryzen rigs mining monero so they use nicehash and windows 10 as smos is not running ryzen cpu's

Those rigs are at home and crash over and over and over.  Due to up dates.




Gpu mining has spread a bit too much for me as I have

5 pc's in Lakewood nj -------------10 gpu's
8 pc's in my house ----------------12 gpu's
1 pc at buysolar's house ---------- 3 gpu's
7 pc's at the big farm in Clifton -- 30 gpu's

hard to track it all and multiple arrangements for power deals.

Right now gpu's are making so much I could run all of them at home even with my 13.7 cent power cost prior to heating savings.

all the ones above  are spilt differently.

I have a 3090 and a 3070 coming.

I am debating buying a fully assembled 3070 rig for 1350 six months to pay it off.

hiveos (and probably other linux based os) is hands down better than windows at running amd rigs. My amd rigs go down maybe once a week but hiveos always reboots and recovers. Sometimes on windows, the whole system freezes at the bsod and you have to manually reset it

Yeah my smos (linux)  runs 100-200 days in a row at times zero issues.

I pulled the trigger on an omen pc. with a 3070 in it.

I paid 1357 - 40 = 1317 which is okay decent specs good psu. good nvme.2 It only has 8 gb ram but I have 2 of these sticks coming from the newegg shuffle

https://www.newegg.com/oloy-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820821309?Item=N82E16820821309. they will look nice in the case.

if this earns 6 a day after power it pays off in 220 days.

a good chance I will sell this off in 6-8 months

[geck]

are you looking at laptops too? 

[philipma1957]

are you looking at laptops too?  

no I think they would not have resale. That the omen will.

I sell a lot of gently used gpus.

At 1320 if I earn 600 with this in 100 days.  I could likely sell it for 1000 which is about 250 profit.

[btcshiner]

This deal goes live on 2-11 and seems to be a pretty good price for a pre-built with a 3070 for those looking for one.  Probably will sell out instantly lol.

https://deals.dell.com/en-us/mpp/productdetail/7fpz

For the record, you were right, sold out instantly. lol

Like I tell my daughter, "I hope I am not right but"....  Yeah it was a great price and no way they had a ton of them at that price.  That was like a Walmart black Friday door buster deal.

I grabbed two of these this week one from B&H for $599 and the Newegg one I didn't realize it was $760 after shipping until after I checked out.  No way Gigabyte raised their price by $150 from Monday to last night.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1598689-REG/gigabyte_gv_n3070gaming_oc_8gd_geforce_rtx_3070_gaming.html

Only reason I think I was able to grab it from Newegg is the price was likely above where people had there bots set to so it lasted 2-3 minutes.

A couple bots figured out work arounds on B&H Photo and Amazon and since Tuesday they grab everything so quick some notification bots don't pick up on stock. 

We need a bitcointalk retail automation buy bot lol

That's a hefty price difference.  Seems like Newegg is cashing in on the price gouging.  Best Buy hasn't jacked up their prices yet either.  I never seem to have any luck with B&H.  I need to find some of these bots.  I heard the fancy ones checkout for you and everything.

[philipma1957]

yeah bots may be the way of the future.

Getting cards is really hard. No indication of them coming out and being available.

[fr4nkthetank]

for win10, there is a tool, I have Wub v1.1, it just stops the updates at the source

Don't forget plain 3060's are coming out in a couple of weeks.  Which should hash about the same speed as a 5600XT or better with a price point of $329 USD.  I'm sure this number will be doubled by just about every vendor due to "tariffs".  Also the 3080ti's are being tested.  I would expect to see those end of march.

do you do this?

[fr4nkthetank]

cant guarantee no virus or anything, i've had an old version forever which still works fine, pretty sure it was from that link.  If I remember just setting windows update disabled in services works for a while but win10 doesnt like that and re-enables itself.  You can nuke updates somewhere completely but wub is just easier

I used this a few years ago before i switched to linux.  https://www.novirusthanks.org/products/win-update-stop/

How about just setting virtual memory to the max. Works like a charm for me.

Windows is a sneaky mofo.

I have some ryzen rigs mining monero so they use nicehash and windows 10 as smos is not running ryzen cpu's

Those rigs are at home and crash over and over and over.  Due to up dates.

The simplest way of stopping Win10 from updates is configuring used network (WiFi or Ethernet) as "METERED".
You are wellcome.

Oh yes, I was tired of crashs, right now system is running without any issues, it's so good I don't have to check my system every hour

hiveos (and probably other linux based os) is hands down better than windows at running amd rigs. My amd rigs go down maybe once a week but hiveos always reboots and recovers. Sometimes on windows, the whole system freezes at the bsod and you have to manually reset it

I did a rule on HiveOS to reboot if wattage is go lower or above XXXX watts, but didn't have to reboot yet, it's running smooth

for win10, there is a tool, I have Wub v1.1, it just stops the updates at the source

Now I don't want to go back to windows but I'll save this tool to the future, maybe I'll need windows for CPU mining or to use as a PC-RIG, thanks

Saved here, thanks

[fr4nkthetank]

speaking of win10 configs, I just noticed I had on some rigs high power setting instead of balanced.  I guess i set them up like that.  Thats bad.  Minimum cpu power state is 100% so it never clocks down.  i mean they are shitty cpus but STILL, wasted electricity for a number of years....     Better set that to 5%.

This might be a little off topic but any of you guys taking advantage of the premium on the future derivative markets? Basically the June futures for ETH and BTC there is a 10% premium.

So if you got any type of fiat whether it’s USD, tether, USDC, etc you can buy on spot and at the same time sell on the futures and wait 4.5 months and get 10% for doing nothing pretty much.

Never seen the premium so high before, usually it’s 1% a month but you got Feb futures which expire in 10 days with a. 3% premium or far off futures like the Sept/Dec at 15/20% respectively. Seems that there is so much demand that the market makers are running out of funds to arb these markets. Open interest is thru the roof at 17B currently.

I have some idea that is a bad sign.  Seems too good.

[AniceInovation]

Where can we sell on the futures? Sorry not informed on that.
Being a long time hodler, getting 10% seems nice.
