This looks very nice coin.

I'm going to test mining with my pc on this coin. anyone can tell me where to find best guides?
I'm using intel i7-4790k @ 4.8ghz and gtx 970.

Thanks in advance.

Dude was in the polo trollbox the other day and wasn't getting the payouts he should have from nanopool given his hashrate. Also I was mining for suprnova.cc and wasn't getting what I should have. Someone turned me on to ethermine.org using the stratum qtminer and I told this other guy about it too and both of our payouts went up almost 50% higher using ethermine.org. I would suggest that one on in your tutorial.

Also I would mention AMD cards' BIOS is set so that it loosens the timings on the VRAM every 125MHz. The best mem clock settings for AMD cards are either 1250, 1375, 1500, or 1625, etc....whichever is the highest one of those your card can stably do.
   Why is the memory clock at all important? Height clocking RAM to me is not important. I set it to a minimum in order to save electricity. Only important is the speed of the GPU. Increase the speed of RAM on the graphics card to me is  important (hashrate is the same and for  50 and 1500 MHz).

First off, you just completely contradicted yourself. You say "height" clocking RAM is not important, and then go on to say "increase the speed of RAM on the graphics card to me is important". Are you talking about system RAM? Because I am only talking about VRAM here.

That aside, overclocking the memory has no significant impact on power draw on most cards as you can't change the memory voltage, and I never even advocated overclocking the VRAM. A lot of AMD cards come at 1400MHz..it is better to set those to 1375 as 1500 would be unstable. It is more about having the right clocks than highest clocks, but if you can go higher and still be 100% stable without drawing more power, why wouldn't you? I have found that the gain in hash rate is significant by having higher memory clocks.

Also, to say that the hash rate is the same as at 50MHz and 1500MHz is laughable. Afterburner doesn't even allow you to clock it lower than 625, and even if it were possible by some other means such as BIOS modding it would not be recommended.

The memory speed is important for the Ethereum mining. For my 7970 it hashes fast at 1250 than 1000 Mhz.

https://www.coinotron.com/app?action=help    Although I do not know why you mining ETH because it goes to hell: https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_eth  .   Also, the diff is growing rapidly and the price drastically decreases : https://etherscan.io/charts/difficulty  . I think this is the simplest (mostly automated) miner: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=nhmintro

Dont do , you will loose money with this card. Go to play Witcher 3 on max Smiley


I know it's not profitable, but i want to do it just for the f**k of it.
it's been long time since i mined last time so i need little guide.

Dont fall in this trap, hold your eth, this is one of the biggest whale attacks. They are creating panic and trying to take as many coins as they can. In couple of months PoS is coming + many exciting announcments that will take eth close to btc marketcap value 👍

-snip-

Not sure exactly what it was that changed the amount of allocated vram but anyway it works now in case anyone else was having the same problem maybe setting one of those 2 environment variables will help? Maybe someone has more insight on a more elegant solution?

had the same issue with my r7 370 2gb;
adjusted the environment variables as you mentioned in the earlier post, cleared my DAG and all was resolved.
much appreciated, thanks;
btw, did you manage to find any other solution for it?
it only improved the allocated memory from 1.4sth gbs to 1.87sth gbs the rest memory up to the 2.048gb will not be accessible/allocated?!

I played around with it a little bit more and it seems those two variables were not doing anything so I deleted the keys from the registry. I have not yet figured how to get allocated mem above 1.87, but it won't be a problem for a while, and there could be a miner that can chunk the DAG by that time, so I will cross that bridge later.

When will it stop going down? :
3. When Ether mining becomes unprofitable or Ethereum switches to POS.
These ideas i heard at many other coins. But finally the opposite was true. Cool

Why is the price of Ethereum sinking? : BTC speculators have left the building!

Proof: Look at Poloniex BTC cold wallet!  



Link: https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/17irB8xLxhVRerCoUyypnmpoak3QBpVp2z

When will it stop going down? :
1. When more and more value investors (not speculators) buy and hold ethereum.
2. When BTC crashes hard and speculators return to Poloniex.  It appears that (Poloniex) speculators are selling their BTC for cash.
3. When Ether mining becomes unprofitable or Ethereum switches to POS.


true, but remember volume also shifted to shapeshift and finex aswell as a few other decent exchanges in canada, india, poland and others

i would seriously advise against selling large amounts of ETH now, you might be lucky and make 10-15% profit but i warn you will risk losing 30-40% ETH coz demand is increasing as it drops.
