Lol how to get profit with mining. I have loss so much money for electric  Cry

Unless you know what to mine. Take the new Baikal for instance: https://altmininggear.com/shop/baikal-giant-x10/ , it mines @ 10 gh/s on x11, BUT it can also mine on other algorithms with much lower difficulty rates. Or you could mine different coins on the same algorithm. So the most used purpose of such a machine would be to mine dash. As for now, you would able to mine about $73 @ $0.20 per kW/h, worth of dash every week. But you could also choose to mine cannabis coin, which uses the same algorithm. Now you're mining $75 @ $0.20 per kW/h . Not a huge difference. But still $104 per year.

That Miner costs twice as much as the D9 and has 50% less hashing power and is less efficient electricity wise. Anyone who buys that miner, as soon as the D9's come online in November will lose any chance to make ROI on that thing

True that. But still.

It's somewhat hard times for miners right now.

Since the boom that happened over the summer there are a lot more GPUs driving up the difficulty lately. Add to that a bit of a downtrend in the alt market because of bitcoin forks, and you have the current situation.

Still, I don't think it's as bad as it was in 2015. The way to get profit is to hodl and look for undervalued projects. After the fork to 2MB blocks alts will probably recover.

As you know there are hundreds of coins and most of them have own kind of niche. Especially with GPU mining, you can switch between algorithms fairly easy. The key is to find them, mine them and sell for more demanded currencies...

Can ethereum still be mined after the hardfork? Or should I mine something different?

Yes and block rewards will be higher.

Technically block rewards are lower but block times will be reduced too

hi, i want to ask
i have some gpu nvidia and amd rx
is there any way to only use my nvidia card for mining?
meanwhile i use my amd card for mine other coin
thanks

Yes, use -platform 2 command

Same situations here with Gigabyte 8 GB Gamings version, new or old. At +56 degrees they crash and memory errors, and noticed when lower is more rarely. memory oc 2150, or 2050 for new 1500 timing version.

For me the hangs and miner restarts was because undervolting too much gigabyte gamings. 850 for memory not liked, back to 900 seems better. less or no opencl hanged. not problems from driver or claymore, i think.

For those who experience OPENCL hang - guys, i recommend you to try lowering you cards temps. However this is kinda tricky with some cards. I will explain below

For my Gigabyte rx580 g1 4gb i experienced same problems - no overclocking at startup sometimes (also - try to delete afterburner profiles for this cards and apply overclocking via Claymore) and after 4-8 hrs mining - opencl error, claymore restart or system hang - especially day time when it gets warmer - so all hangups i got at day time.

The thing is - the card was undervolted and overclocked - no HWinfo errors or something, doing 29.5 mhs ETH and 64 LBC in dual mode, but still this error with opencl.
Then i checked the average temp during mining - it was about 73-75 degrees which is pretty high as i assumed. I have installed the 120-120 fan for additional cooling - but the RX580 series uses some smartass cooler management - so basically the card just lowered down it's fans RPM, keeping the same temp - about 73 degrees.

After some research - i have decided to go risky way and modify BIOS as no other means of controlling fan-temps  worked for me - even claymore temperature control was causing system hangs.

I have used SRBPOLARIS editor to make changes to GPU "Target temperature" settings - i have put 68 degrees here and flashed card. (No other fan settings affected the fan behavior)

After that, the card works perfectly fine for more than 72 hrs .

I think the card was heating up way too much due to Gigabyte ineffective cooling and stock fan settings  - especially memory chips, what caused driver reboot and overclocking reset.

For those who need help with this mod - contact me, also i can help with memshift mod.

Did something happen that hit CUDA mining particularly hard that last DAG change? The hashrate on the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X in my gaming rig dropped almost 2Mh/s but the RX 480s were unaffected.  Huh
I have an issue with my 1070 Gaming X too.
Hashrate seems to remain the same, but effective hashrate is much lower.

I have asked some times bwfore but cannot see  an answer   Sad
I am using Claymore  9.xx on my rigs.. Now I am wonder if 10 is full stable now?

Yes, I've been using it for a couple of weeks and no problem so far

Quote
I was using 9.xx with WattTool settings and mining Expanse because of Dag-problem
If switching to 10 should  I make settings in miner?

Use blockchain driver, that could solve your DAG issue

I need set  underclocking of core/ oc mem and undervolt both
Will it work?

some cards may not work, some guys here able to do it by using certain version of after burner.

Ethereum Miner
I have 2 issues with Claymore 10.0 (Win10, blockchain drivers, 6card rigs running 570 and 470 cards)

1) After initial rig start (i.e. after powering or resetting the whole rig) Claymore 10.0 runs with lower hashrates (for example about 23-25Mhs with 470/570 cards). After stoping the miner and re-run .bat, I getting normal rates (i.e. miner has to be restarted and operates as expected only after 2nd run, never from the first)

2) Unpredictable hashrate drop during mining for some cards in rig (usually 1 or 2 of them). Rate drops and keeps at 23-25. The only solution I found is to restart Claymore.


Any comments guys?



Same issue here...as mentioned 470's and 570's
Has anyone found a fix for this ?
I have as instructed tried the timeout and it does not work
Thanks in advance


Are you talking about problem numbered 1 or numbered 2?
As to No.1 I was discussing with few people and they have similar problems, not solved. I am not worry too much as it happens only at first start.
But No.2 really makes me headache, because unpredictable.

I am having a # 1 issue....but

on #2 add if using the .bat file --tt 70 --fanmin 50

the reason is that the cards are throttling down due to temp

see if that helps



Put these in the config file:

-r 0
-minspeed

by using those commands, miner will restart if it cannot reach X hashrate in 5 minutes.
this is tried and tested as per my experience.

I have -tt 70 set (with no fanmin parameter). But I do not see any throttling via HWinfo - it shows same freqs for GPU and memory when hashrate goes down.

anyone getting the BSOD blue screen on certain Rx570 with the blockchain driver and claymore 10 whenever you try and change any mem or voltage settings ?

It also says that there is a

"Thread stuck in device driver error"

Thanks
