Has anyone tried running HiceHash Miner on their rigs?  I have been testing it for the last 10 days on 5 rigs with six 1080TI per rig. I have been getting 0.0032BTC per rig per day (0.000533 per GPU) on average. Seems a bit low though. Has anyone tried it also?

I've been running NiceHashMinerLegacy on one of my (6x1080Ti) rigs for the last couple of months.
A month ago I was making around 0.0054BTC per day, the last few weeks that has dropped to 0.0037 - because the altcoins that we're mining have declined in value so much vs Bitcoin.

My other rigs have been mining Zcash, which I've been holding, not trading - with the end result that right now the NiceHash one has been the most profitable (which is kind of why I do it, as a "hedge")
I could have made more money by trading the Zcash for Bitcoin immediately, but I would have needed to predict the rapid decline in all things crypto this month, and if I could do that I'd be trading full time, and not mining....  Grin


Thanks. Just looks like guys on Sniffdog have been getting much better results during the same preiod. Here is some stat on how my experiment went with NiceHash. https://www.nicehash.com/miner/1HVhgZ27zQFtzKrMtaMEweoRcp26hazUhq

to mine Verge(XVG), which of these algorithms is best for 1080ti?

scrypt
myr-groestl
Lyra2Rev2
Blake2s
X17

X17 i think.......... I have seen it using less temperature and as effective as other algo plus lower difficulty.

A 1500VA should be able to support 1000W at the wall - at least in europe (240v) - not sure if it the same if you are on 110v

Sounds like you need a UPS - you should be able to get one used from ebay but make sure its AT LEAST 18-2000 VA+ (or a couple of smaller ones) to power 12-1500W- try a good manufacturer like APC

One of the most expensive parts of a UPS is the battery so normally i'd be cautious of a 2nd hand because of the risk of an ageing battery but for brown out/short loss support you should be good with any battery as long as its not a complete dud.

I used to power my gear when i lived in the wilds Finland (with VERY dodgy power) off a couple of 1500VA powered off 4xcar batteries and had backup power for 10-20 hours, but regular batteries may only last 10 or so minutes, which sounds enough for you

The other alternative is an inverter but i suspect that might end up significantly pre expensive than a used UPS

No problem recognizing 7

Awesome, thanks guys

Couple of questions..

Currently running four 1080 ti's on one rig, waiting for my 2nd PSU to come in a couple days and will be installing my 5th. Will I have connectivity issues with the OS (Windows 7), having 5 running? Remember seeing somewhere people have issues after a certain amount of them not being recognized.

After the hurricane, we keep having brown outs and the power keeps going out for a brief second, sometimes its a couple times a day. What would you guys recommend to keep ~1000 watts running for at least a minute? I don't really know much about them and I don't want to get one too small or too big.

Guys,

Anyone is mining VERGE (XVG)??

I saw that with Lyra2v2 algo it has a good 24 hours profit in Hashrefinery and Zpool, but Whattomine' stats is lagging.
How many coins do you get per day?

Want to try monero( criptonight ) mining with my 1080ti

What best( free) miner for this ? I saw there is a cryptonight version of ccmienr but dated of 2014
Edit : found !

XmrMiner

Don't even try. It's the same as Ethereum mining. That is for red VGAs.
In case you will do, just remember you have to OC your memory instead of GPU

Bullshit 1080tis get +850h/s with -500 mem clock under 800h/s on stock mem clock.
And what is bullshit? That 1080ti performs just as an old 7990? That much cheaper RX480/580 outperforms it?
Or that it is only 20-25% better than 1070 in cryptonight?
Ethash (without dual),Cryptonight and Neoscrypt are very bad algos for 1080/ti

wow, Ive read many clueless comments on this board but this one sets a new record of stupidity.

Guys, do you expect to see earnings to increase afterwards? Or said in another words, what do you think is causing the low profitability?

I mean, besides the fact that BTC price decreased almost 20-25% also the amount of btc/altcoins per hour has decreased.

It is only anecdotal and i don't have any long term experience of the crypto markets but it is clearly apparent that, apart from a few outliers, most coins go higher faster and fall faster than BTC

This would mean less earnings in BTC on a fall/dip and more earning in BTC when it is flying high

Apart from the regular pump/dumps on arbitrary coins and the odd "fall through the floor" on some of the weaker alt-coins on deeper dips (so watch that floor Signatum guys), it would be easy just to suggest holding mined altcoins when BTC dips and enable autoexchange when it is has been flying high for a while
