@citronick, you're still mining V7 on monero ocean? How's it going?
MoneroV8 is no go for my RX series because of the hashrate drop and higher consumption...so right now I'm doing eth on ethermine, but I'm thinking of switching to monero.

MoneroV8 ended up not a good option for me - see my last post - the devs had overdone things for miners - less hash, more power.... reminds me of ETH mess. So even monero.ocean is out for me, due to power constraints.

All this was a blessing in disguise, I continued mining XHV (Haven) since below a dollar, and cashed out about 1100 coins when it touched $2.40s recently.

Decent pool at "haven.miner.rocks"

Thank you for reply.

Looks like xmr-stak or xmrig does not get me the same hashrate that I have with claymore xmr. Claymore gives me 4950 per rig and xmrig gets me 3800-3900 with the same overclocking settings on SMOS.
It's odd..
For now I'm sticking with ethermine, not a big earn but hoping the price will go up in a few months..

Depending on your GPU type.... ETH is still more profitable vs the rest, even with crypto coins this bad.

I am waiting for Prohashing.com to finish their testing of Cryptonite pool so that I can continue running my farms with lowest power consumption, and auto-convert to the coins I want to hold, without having to go through the usual lengthy blockchain confirmation, additional exchange fees etc.

I would do that, but I'm with smOS...

Not a very good time for AMD rigs over smOS right now...

I mean I tried to edit the config.txt on Xmr-Stak with higher intensity with no luck.. I think that is the issue with my low hashrate compared with claymore-xmr hashrate.

You might want to give SRBMiner a try. I am getting nearly the same hashrate and just slightly more power consumption than xmr-stak 2.5.1 was doing on CNv7, and way better on both parameters than it did on CNv8. ANN thread is here in the mining section and fairly active.

V8 is good for my:

threadripper 1920x
Ryzen 1800x
Ryzen 2700x

they all seem to be earning 2x the usd value that they used to earn.

No

1) paid most or all refunds ask for
2) some fpga's have been shipped
3) acorns and acorn nest should ship before fri 2nd

But all in all still somewhat of a mess.

Bringing a new product to market like this is exceptionally difficult, so I'm not really surprised.

It's an Nest X2G. I clicked on the link and zoomed in, and you can clearly see the USB ports on the left side of the image.

When I get my Nest X4 and CLE215+ FPGAs I will post some pics of the build and some screen-shots of the miner in action. My plan is combine the Nest+FPGAs with my two hydro 1080TIs (Thanks Phil!) to mine altcoins.

I wish it had not been such a fuckup getting these.

I have a threadripper 1920x on a Taichi x399 board.

I think I could do at least 2 maybe 3 nests with acorn 215+ and 1080ti's

Bailing on bitcointalk hurt them as discord sucks for how to threads and demos reviews etc.

I still look at discord thread to see what the gear will do.

and even with photos of the gear mounted in pc's I have no idea what it does in terms of hash or power costs.
I have ordered this below.

cost about 800 usd should boost 4 gpus. note the four usb ports.

So my threadripper 1920x on a taichi x399 could load 4 of these and do 16 cards but no performance numbers as of today
all info is off discord:

this is a tease of mining

You guys are lucky that the value of BTC remained the same or else it would of been another Butterfly Labs/KnC Miner scenario where the price of BTC skyrocketed and they ended up issuing refunds with respect to the USD price paid.

However I have a feeling that if BTC tanked all those companies would issue refunds in BTC, basically whichever is less.

well thats good, I got a bit less, maybe 0.05btc total unfortunately. I still hope to play with an Acorn, maybe next year after seeing the results. I just ordered 6 new 470s (about 170usd in your money) which is a good price here for brand new. 12 month ROI but I got 4 amps left on my PDU so might as well.

What is everyone's theory on AMD and Nvidia's stock price. Basically today AMD opened at $25 and after their earnings release it tanked all the way to down to $17, basically a 32% intraday loss, which is considered normal for Crypto but for a stock is horrible.

Who here thinks AMD is going to start buying up Cryptos like ETH and XMR to boost sales on their GPU chips next quarter?

Its been a big rumor that when AMD was down last November, they started buying up Cryptos to bring huge demand to their GPUs and by Dec-January cryptos hit new highs and all the GPUs were sold off the shelves.

AMD peaked earlier this year at $34 so its down roughtly 50% while NVIDIA peaked at almost $300 and its currently $200.

So take a stock like NVDA which has a current market cap of $120B and AMD of $20B. Is it cheaper to buy say $1B worth of ETH and cause the price of ETH to go to a new ATH and instead boost the price of their stock by $60B?

What do all the conspiracy theorists conclude?

Without being insulting, I think the people who hold these theories are grossly uninformed. Before I say anything further, I think this needs to be read: http://fortune.com/2018/10/24/tech-stocks-nasdaq-s-and-p-market-correction/

Everything is down. AMD is down because they had weak sales last quarter and they had previously stated mining accounted for 10% of total revenue, that has obviously gone from 10 to 0. They also have a bleaker outlook; No new gaming GPUs and datacenter gpus aren't available yet. Now with that being said, market cap does not equal cash on hand. Market Cap is the total value of all outstanding stocks. AMD does not have a billion dollars laying around to buy ETH with. If they did, they wouldn't buy ETH with it. They manufacture hardware, not invest in crypto.

BCI has only 16 million value

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-interest/

Market Cap
$16,244,323 USD
2,524 BTC

Volume (24h)
$1,819 USD
0.28 BTC

So a pump is easy peasy. And the 2080 does 24mh which is higher then the 1080ti's 20mh

So to not pump BCI would be bad business for NVIDA.

If the price went from 88 cents to 20 dollars 2080s will fly off the shelfs

Since exchange handle was so tiny I am stunned this is yet to happen.

I won't say nsummy is wrong
I won't say adaseb is close to correct in an ETH pump

I will say pumping BCI is childs play so my guess is mine BCI and hope I am correct.

What value does BCI have? It uses progpow which favors RTX 2080 which means NVIDA should pump it to sell their new 2080's.

Yeah that is how a gpu algo favored coin has value it can boost the sales of gpu's this a simple economic fact.

XMR tried by making new algo but it has a ton of value so a pump costs $$

ETH may go progpow but a pump costs $$$$

BCI is progpow and a pump is so fucking easy to do it is something I could do. I could spend 20,000 usd and boost its price close to 2 dollars.

I'm still very surprised to see how bullish you are on BCI, you seem more bullish on this than anything I've read from you in the past. Normally your strategy is a bit more diverse and reserved.

This isn't criticism or anything, just interesting to see

the math is right there.

1) no one uses progpow except bci.
2) progpow is good with rtx 2080 cards as tested by me.
3) coins are only worth 16,000,000 usd total at 88 cents.

A large buyer of NVIDIA stock on the current low number need not spend a lot to pump the coin thus making the rtx sell out.
Or nvidia could pump the coin helping its bottom line with faster selling gpus

I am still on XHV (CN7-Heavy) --- the switch to CN8 didnt last long because less hash and more power, so back to XHV.

Started mining it when diff was low and was just under 1$..... now its 2.50$ which is crazy

Btw, I have pointed my old Baikal ASICs to solo pools for DeepOnion (X13) and DGB (Qubit) - BSOD pool have made it so easy to mine solo all coins they have listed in the poolsite.

You can even solo pool RVN or do a PARTY feature where you can mine together with predetermine miners that matches a group password.

https://bsod.pw/

SOLO mining:
m=solo in password field ("-p m=solo"), so it would look like this:
-a algo -o stratum+tcp://eu.bsod.pw:PORT -u WALLET.rig -p m=solo

PARTY mining:
m=party.YOUR_PARTY_PASSWORD in password field, so it would look like this:
-a algo -o stratum+tcp://eu.bsod.pw:PORT -u WALLET.rig -p m=party.YOUR_PARTY_PASSWORD

Password should contain only a-Z and 0-9

thats super cool, a non scammy solo pool for some less popular coins has been way overdue
