quick question:
i have 1000W zalman with motherboard, 4x rx480 8gb and a hdd connected
also i have 750 chieftec with 2x 280x connected
should i connect one rx480 to chieftec, or should i leave it like this?
the system is mining stable for 24hr now, but i am worried about 1000w zalman...

No idea why people are still mining ZEC with their 470/480. Basically throwing $0.15-$0.20 daily per card away in profits.
on top of that i can run more ZEC rigs than eth rigs the power savings is that good so it evens out in the endWhat? There is no evening out of anything. If you have 470 or 480 cards, you are making more PROFIT (factoring in power consumption) by switching to ETH.
i have 4 extra rigs that i could not fit into my circuits when i was mining eth , the power savings from zec to eth is closer to 20% for me at least with 100mv undervolt on all cards
If i was mining eth those 4 rigs would be shut down right now gathering dust
Sounds to me like your neighbor would greatly appreciate you paying for his electricity (in return for housing the rigs at his place)

I managed to get a system with 5x470 running oc on a 750w power supply, on -i 8. Its been running nonstop for 24h, so dont say that v9 has stability issues. If you know how to control the spikes, you will have a stable system, even on a low power psu like mine.
"If you know how to control the spikes" <-- Thank you for confirming exactly what everyone has been saying all along, there are power spikes.
If you read back, you'll see that it was I who discovered the spikes...
Back on track, it is not a miner issue that the power spikes, the software can only control hardware within hardware specs. Only software that has the ability to over/under clock and over/under volt can fuck with hardware, any other software without these functions won't be able to do anything.
If a regular software can push hardware beyond its limits, it is because of the manufacturer, he didn't properly test his equipment before releasing, and didn't foresee this kind of usage. So, now we shall know which PSU are really quality-built, also which video cards are quality-built (some spike more than others, even though they are the same brand and model; this might also have something to do with ASIC quality).
some of my rigs reverted back to v8.
v9 has some serious stability issues that needs to be adressed.

When i did 3-PSU rig everyone laugh at me, but i have no problem with stability issues, every psu work 40-50% load, and that 3 psu was cheaper than 1 big psu
Hello dear friends!
Having such results on v.9 : R9 280x - 210-215 sols/s
RX 470 - 200 sols/s
All stock mem,mV etc.
Is it good numbers or it could more ?

Two undervolted and underclocked rigs, 6x480 4GB each, stable with v9 for 35 hours.
Win 10, 16.9.2 drivers, -i 8
No issues whatsoever!

Check clocks, volts, and PSUs. I haven't had a single crash on 24 cards (470/480). I have moderate undervolt and have PSUs at ~70% load.v9 has some serious stability issues that needs to be adressed.
So you think with so many people complaining about v9 load spikes that everyone is having hardware problems?
The more likely answer is that v9 has a stability issues as v8 works perfectly fine for everyone.

What will you advice then? If youre not with ZEC. Will appreciate if you suggest and give us idea what to mine instead. Please. Thank you
Take your pick.
Radeon rx 470 g1 gaming 4G, ~1260/1800, timings, claymore 9, i8: 216 H/s average per card, +16%
That's great!
What's your voltage for core/ram?
How about watts at the wall?
Memory voltage is default.
Core voltage from 0.96 to 1.03 V depends on the cards.
I don't have wattmeter. Waiting some adapters from ebay to plug ammeter direct to 12V line.
Other modes (from EthMan):
223 H/s - 1320/1810
229 H/s - 1360/1810
But I don't use this clocks and didn't search minimal voltage.
New Feature: Encrypted stratum mining
We are happy to announce that Flypool has implemented stratum mining via an encrypted and authenticated SSL connection. Currently encrypted stratum mining is only supported by Claymores miner and support should be added to Optiminers new version as well.
Compared to regular stratum mining it is not longer possible for a third party to tamper (e.g. redirect your hashes to a different account) with your connection to the pool.
Instructions for Claymores miner to use encrypted mining:
Append ssl:// to your server and use port 3443:
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool ssl://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -zwal t1YZMnyXStuGKykkFxM6Lh8DTVJdTMx6R51.YourWorkerName -zpsw x
What is it ? Mining has launched does not work? Wait 20 seconds and all

SSL connections works for me fine on flypool. Settings/parameters are correct, you need to connect to ssl://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 (or you can try stratum+ssl:// )
I need advice about pool, at the moment we are mining on coinmine.pl, all online calculators are saying that I should get 6.6 zec a day, but I got only half of it, I'm aware that this is the mater of many factors, but I know that something is wrong, your advice would be much appreciated
Try flypool.org http://zcash.flypool.org/
anyone have any 290's?
240h/s seems to be all I can squeeze. (-i 3)
edit: gpu-z is showing my 480's power draw spikes up to 216w from 120w.

R9 290 stilt bios 1100/1450 gets 300 h/s
That is quite the overclock from my 950/1250.
I dont have the oc versions, so I may be limited by the binning process.
Any chance you know what the stilt bios pulls at stock?
edit: I havent paid much attention, but can you flash a 390 bios onto 290's like you can with 390x/290x?
Which is more profitable now ZEC or ETH.?
ETH has been more profitable for a while now
Depends on the rig and your electric cost.
You have to crunch YOUR OWN numbers - in my case, some of my cards are more profitable on ZEC most are more profitable on ETH the last week.
The lower end cards have to do ZEC 'cause they can't do ETH any more (my HD 7750s never could do ETH with 1 GB ram).
Which cards are you finding more profitable on eth?
I havent mined eth in a while, but from what I can tell, its not anymore profitable than zec.
