Topic: Building Cheap Miners : My "Secret" - page 8. (Read 60234 times)

I am still mining... WebChain and BitTube mostly right now.

Guys, are you still mining? Is it worth start mining now or there are more lucrative options of passive income from the crypto?

Have you tried to change mined coins? Perhaps you are betting on the wrong horse...

I think you can even automate the coin choice with some script in order to change it properly.

EDIT: I found this. It may help you. https://www.smartmine.org/

Sundownz, saw you mention a bittube pool.  cryptoknight.cc is 0% and not a bunch of bad dudes even though everyone thinks Seb is out to get them. 

i've shut down my complete mining operations, power is too expensive in my country. Overclock or not doesn't make a difference, im paying more to my power company then my coins bring up...
 

Haha =)

Just a good ol' power outage is all this time.

Jacob, did that main panel you have the R815's powered from trip?  Looks like all your R815's dropped off Loud's pool.  You should ask your electrician for a refund for giving you the ability to run like 720A through a 200A panel!  <3

Not sure if you check out Webchain yet -- but it is still going strong on the R815s.

In the order of ~$2.00 per day per system.

this topic is good im learn how to build cheap miners here there is many solution for me thank you

With the price recovery of Monero XMR I have powered up my HP DL 580's and Supermicro Servers again.
https://bitinfocharts.com/monero/

The HP DL 580's have 59% profitability and the Supermicro has 42% profitability.

The Vega 56's I have far out-way the servers with 289% profitability.

I am still leaving the 4x Dell R815's powered down as their profitability is only 21%. Four of them would only make $30 a month after spending $142 on electricity.

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=7465&HashingUnit=H%2Fs&PowerConsumption=2784&CostPerkWh=0.071&MiningPoolFee=0.3

If the R815's profitability doesn't improve after the upcoming Monero fork in October I will be selling them off.

EDIT 9/5/2018 - 14:45:

Well it looks like I spoke too soon.  Monero XMR has now dropped to $117 from $139 and mining difficulty has jumped to 62.5G and is set to rise more since it is only taking 1m 52s to find a block.

https://bitinfocharts.com/monero

I have now powered off the Supermicro servers (10% profitability) and two of the HP DL 580's that only have 3 & 4 GTX 750's in them.

https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=3166&HashingUnit=H%2Fs&PowerConsumption=1008&CostPerkWh=0.071&MiningPoolFee=0.3

With more and more GPUs coming online thanks to the Loud guys adding the algo to xmrig and xmr-stak for GPUs w/ a 3% dev fee, I feel the nethash is going to go up and profitability is going to go down.  Especially when someone I know has gone from 70KH/s to 80KH/s in the last 2 days and has more rigs to throw at it once he finishes accumulating what he wants with XTL. 

I had gotten up to 25KH/s but my vegas aren't reporting anywhere near pool side what they are miner side so I put them back on something else I've been speculating on.  Still #2 after you know who though! 

As an aside, I did reach out to the good Doktor from SRBminer and he is looking into adding webchain support for SRB.  That means a well polished miner with only .85% dev fee instead of what the Loud guys did of just adding an algo to a miner and then slapping a 3% dev fee on that.  I actually really don't like what they did.  They opened pandora's box in a way by allowing GPUs to come to the party that was CPU only and they did it not for their own cards (from what I'm aware of they have old GPUs), but did it for that 3% dev fee when they really didn't do much at all.  Oh and that 3% is forced.  You can change it but it will always be 3% and it's binary release only, no source for those of us who can compile and edit out fees.

Yes I used their webchain-miner on my UBUNTU machines:

Clone with "git clone https://github.com/webchain-network/webchain-miner.git"

Then build it like XMRIG:

https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/wiki/Ubuntu-Build

Just change the directory to webchain-miner

----------

Stocks.Exchange has WEB/BTC listed, yes.

https://app.stocks.exchange/en/basic-trade/pair/BTC/WEB/1D

----------

For profit calc I pop my hash-rate into this calc on this pool front page:

http://webchain.thetapool.com/

So 2100 H/S today is 954 WEB per day which is $2.06 / Day as of this moment.

I actually mine on the LOUD Mining pool:

https://webcn.loudmining.com/#/

Here is my example config.json file for the webchain-miner in UBUNTU on my R815:

Can you give more details on WEBChain and your configuration for mining it?

My R815's are running Ubuntu 16.04.

Did you compile WEBChain source code?
https://github.com/webchain-network/webchain-miner

Any help in getting WEBChain running on my R815's is appreciated. Detailed instructions will help since resources on the web seem lacking.

In this BEAR market I only hold mined coins for a short time then exchange them to BTC then sell BTC for USD. I have to pay for my electricity bill which has reached $843 two months ago and $468 this last month even though I shut down all my miners except the Vega 56's.

So is there an Exchange that does WEB to BTC pair trading?


Is there a WEBChain mining profitability calculator somewhere?

Thanks

Seconding the thanks, though I went with a 1080ti. Never would have known about the sale without your post, though!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I want to add some VEGA56 as well =)

Yah I have two systems of AMD GPUs on so far -- just trying to figure out why so many rejects.

I also have several nVidia cards rolling over.

Just a FYI:

eBay has a sitewide 15% off coupon for today only. Limit $100 off

https://pages.ebay.com/promo/2018/0828/67245.html?_trkparms=%26clkid%3D6349278731421267500
Use code: PREGAME15 by 10pm PT

I just picked up two PowerColor Vega 56's for $644.50 (using the $100 off). Total before was $744.50.

My Vega 56's are the only profitable hardware I have right now so getting them at $322.25 each is a bargain.

I'm now on Webchain.  You on Loud's pool as well?  You shunting some AMD cards on it too evidently from what I can see in the discord huh? 

WEBChain will still make you money on the R815s.

Should make $195 / Month with your stats.

Also it has been much higher at times over the last week or so... I started mining it on the 14th and slowly turned all my R815s over to it.

Thank you for the interesting and informative post.
