Antminers E3 still alive for ETH?

[gnik81]

Thanks adaseb

Question to all E3 owners
Where and what coin you mining now with Ant E3?
Is zergpool reliable?

Zerg is reliable.
pinpin from there is good people.
They support a lot of algos and mining methods.
You can get paid in coins that you may prefer....ltc is what i take payment in fast and cheap and easy to convert....sure beats waiting much longer to meet minimum btc withdrawl and higher tx fees.  But i think you can get Dash and maybe even Doge.  Much choices...many options

ETP (Metaverse) is minable with E3s

I was mining ETP (Metaverse) too, but recently I switch to MOAC and so far is making around $4.20 USD per day. Almost $2 more that ETP

www.coinbene.com

[gnik81]

Which pool are you using for MOAC and how do you configure the E3?

I'm mining on https://baikalmine.com/en/pplns/moac/
The configuration is simple:
URL: stratum+tcp://moac.baikalmine.com:4444
User: your MOAC wallet address from coinbene
Password: leave it empty

Antminer E3 has 4gb vram, that's not even the problem, if you can't mine Ethereum anymore you can mine Ethereum Classic because the team have worked on ETC algo to support gpu and asics with low vram, the main problem I see with antminer E3 is the high energy consumption

[Dariusburst]

Not really
ETC DAG is also over 4GB and pools not accepting the E3s
I cant mine ETC on https://etc.ethermine.org/ as example. All the ASICs are marked with X

The only way forward with a antminer E3 is to find a new coin or not too old coin that runs on Ethash Algorithm to mine, they should have less mining difficulty and enough room for 4gb miners like E3, go to Google and find answers am sure there are many coins running on Ethash Algorithm

Wrong, ETC forked to ETCHash and the DAG is around 2,6Gb.
You can mine ETC with your E3, but need another customfirmware.

You do realize that ETC also changed the algo so it is not the same as ETH any more ... so you will need a new asic.  People keep saying its just firmware but ETC now runs a modified dagger hashimoto.  How are you going to change the actual asic chips?  Firmware wont change the asic chips circuitry.  

CORRECTION

Only requires a firmware upgrade to mine ETC. 
ETC did not change the algo enough to cause asics to be unusable.

Yep, I can confirm. I found the way how to mine ETC with Antminer E3. Cool
Everything was from the software

.  What sort of hash rate are you getting and what pool are u using?

[gnik81]

What sort of hash rate are you getting and what pool are u using?

My hash rate is around 200 MH/s and I'm using etc.2miners.com pool

Anyone tried to upgrade the RAM Chips? Maybe the E3 Firmware recognize it automatically without modifying firmware?

You may want to try reading this thread.  There are 576 memory chips in E3 you'd have to solder and replace.  I did read somewhere that some other solution is being worked on, but until then I'm fine mining ETC.

Can anyone explain how to mine ETC with E3?

Can anyone explain how to mine ETC with E3?

The firmware costs money, but it allows you to mine on any pool.
If you do not want to pay money, then you can download a free firmware only for mining on 2miners pool

is there a firmware that will allow for zil dual mining. Mine always changed back to ethermine.

Are Antminers E3 still OK with mining ETH? As I understood they are limited to around block height 1,400,000 which has already passed. Can some user of Antminer E3 confirm that the E3s are still mining ETH?

You can come check out phoenixmax.org. we have a software download for the E3 free of charge. Come mine etc on our pool...

[bitwalkers]

 I have modified the hardware (upgrade 8G memory) and software and E3 works again.
