Hi,
I have couple of questions and it will be nice if someone can answer.

Does anybody use PCI-e Express 1X to 3 Port 1X card?
Does it has any effect on mining speed?
How many gpu we can have on Win10? Win7 and Win8 have limitation on number of gpu.
Does Claymore miner or OpenCL have some limitation on nuber of gpu?

BR


I have hi-end mainboard (Z87) with 7 PCI-E slots.
I can't use more than 6 videocards on it.
Theres's a lack of PCI-E lines.

PCI-e Express 1X to 3 Port 1X card? - pointless, same reason.

More than 6 - only on X79, X99 etc...

Well i just connected my rig to dwarpool. I'm going to give them 48 hours and report back. I think the best would be that someone with a few rigs with the same cards point 1 rig to each pool and report what they get (Flypool,suprnova,dwarfpool,coinmine, etc). That would be awesome I only have 1 rig.

I've done that but it's pointless...

Let's face, mining is always a game of chance!

I've tested dwarfpool with one of my rigs during a period when the pool was unlucky and taking several hours to find a block. Obviously, during that period, flypool was much better for my other rig.

Next day, I got a different result because dwarf was lucky to find a big number of blocks so my dwarf rig made a better profit.

However, those numbers could not be compared with the previous because the network difficulty was really different!

If you point your rig at one pool in days 1,2,3 and then point it at another pool for days 4,5,6 you cannot compare the results because the mining conditions were not the same! ZEC difficulty is like a roller coaster.

Conclusions:

1 - If you like to get steady, regular payments, flypool.

2- If you don't mind waiting for hours for a small pool to get lucky; dwarf or suprnova.

3- Don't compare what cannot be compared.

4- Keep a close eye on ETH/ZEC/XMR profitability

5- If you have multiple rigs, spread them across several pools, or even several coins.

Right now I have one rig at flypool, another at ethermine and a single GPU mining XMR  Grin


Thanks, Trimegistus for your full answer.
Good ideas!

Again: if someone thinks that encrypted connection is a bad idea, do not use it, miner allows you to do it, I doubt you will ever notice 0.5% difference in your income. I'm not going to remove plain connection, restrict pools, increase fees, etc, there is not any conspiracy theory or evil plan. It seems some people have too rich fantasy.
In my opinion, ability to encrypt connection as an option is a good feature (and I'd like to support it a bit by reducing devfee), so I'm not going to remove it right now, though if I see that noone uses it I can remove it in future. Actually, I think about adding this feature to dual miner too, but now I'm not sure because here I've read a lot of ideas about bad sides of encryption, which looks really strange for me. Don't forget you mine cryptocurrencies, they all consist of pure encryption Smiley

Please, don't forget about some users are happy to have SSL connection. At least, they don't want by any reason that anyone between them and the pool could read the data transferred. They don't want anybody expect, that it is mining. They don't want anybody to steal their wallet number and so on. So, an ability to use SSL is generally good.

Don't use nicehach pool for mining zcash.
I have 25% more profit in dwarfpool.

8 cards total (3 Nano, 4 RX480/4G, R9-290 Tri-X), ~2k/sec with undervolt/clock, 1.5kW.
I had ~ 0.012 BTC/day in nicehash, now I have ~0.015 BTC/day in dwarf.


I have 25% more profit in dwarfpool from flypool so i love dwarfpool.  Grin

bro can u share me ur .bat file code?



ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec-eu1.dwarfpool.com:3336 -zwal YOUR_ADRESS.WORKER -zpsw x

thanks alot bro.
i am using this code but after click on .bat file the data showing too late than compare in flypool why?
i hope u understand my english


Try open your config and put this:

-zpool zec-eu1.dwarfpool.com:3336
-zwal YOUR_ADRESS
-zpsw z
#-tt 75
#-i 6

thanks for help bro but nothing changed.
data display in cmd windows too slow compare to flypool

When i'm mining on flypool eu the 290x shows in my rigs 320h/s and about 1,5% rejects but also like the others on the forum i get less profit then i should need to have on day payouts. Now i was trying to go to dwarfpool eu but when the miner begins i get 70% reject and on supernova eu i see in the miner that i get 30% rejects  Undecided i was mining 10minutes each. Do i need to undervolt my card to mine on dwarfpool or supernova? I'm now back on flypool for the moment.
you should move more to confuse the enemy

SSL was implemented long time ago for mining already but was removed again due to the increased network lag.

Lags can only create a pool if it spends a lot of time to encrypt/decrypt data, am I correct?
SSL connection is based on same sockets and it takes almost zero time on client side to encrypt/decrypt 1Kb of data.
I'm curious about server load, is it too expensive to use encrypted connections for you?
Google is a fan of SSL on every site, if it needs it or not, and they care vary much about speed of the internet.  If there was a speed issue, it may be different.  SSL connection adds a tiny delay to the initial connection, and after that it's negligible.

lol. fuck, this "delay" thingy is a total crap. I'm coming out of the heavily used encrypted pipe (being aes-128-ed on a 30$ wrt router;) with no delays whatsoever so why would I fucking care about few more processed BYTES on my end??? and in regard to the pool side - just watch and see and act accordingly.
also it seems sgminer-gm is improving

I've just switched to https://zec.suprnova.cc for the last hour 0% rejected shares, the difficulty is all over the place admittedly but it seems to be paying better than http://zcash.flypool.org

It could just be the pool luck is high at the moment, but it seems to be going well, we will see!

so many posts about pools and payout (hashrate at pool), existing pool not steal from miners, pool calculate speed from submitted and accepted shares and reward miners when a block is found, pools not pay from speed displayed in miner.....

Overclocking is a very bad advisor.
50MHz more could draw 50W more, so what's the point?

You do have another option. You could use multipoolhub and set up multi-algo mining. Your rigs will mine ZEC/ZCL/ETH/ETC based on most profitable. The op has already set up SSL connection and is in the process of adding XMR to the multi-algo. All the pools there are .9% fee and auto exchange is available for free. Pool op has a good rep and is quite active answering questions quickly. Search for his thread here.

I currently use dwarfpool and my ZEC earnings have risen above what coinmine was paying. I just endorsed miningpoolhub, so you might wonder why I'm not mining there............well I am. I have a Baikal miner currently there and removed other GPU/ASIC mining until XMR is in the ZEC/ETH multi-algo and more scrypt coins are added for my ASIC's.
