Will give it a try - if it works well PM me your BTC wallet!

1.Yes you can, NTFS of course, FAT32 can't even handle files over 4GB.
2. You're good. risers are for rigs with many GPUs.
3. Mine into your own wallet and withdraw into Coinbase when needed.
4. Not sure what's the most profitable coin atm, check out calculator websites.
5. You can mod the cards to get higher hashrates, modding will give you a pretty significant boost, overclocks won't.
6. Claymore's works fine on my end, never tried EthOS.
7. CPU coins are usually nonprofitable. the power draw of the CPU alone will be more than the profit you'll make. not even worth the heat in my opinion.

Hi,

Will tip .02 BTC to the first person that solves all problems and gets this running in the most profitable way - I know some of them are kinda noob but I've only been BTC mining so far..


[Yes, I realize this might be a dupe thread; I did search this forum and others; however, updates are always made and some stuff in here hasn't been addressed yet] - Their FAQ didn't help too much either. Minergate sucks (15MHz combined pathetic off of both GPU's) and I can't figure out contracts on Mist. AlephOne isn't working really either.

So EthOS...?


So I bought an Alienware Aurora R5 w/ Core i7/250GB SSD/2x AMD RX 480 8GB Crossfire... This is NOT a open 6-GPU rig. It won't maximize profit, but it's VR-ready and can do other stuff...

I just bought EthOS and their tech support isn't working...


1) Can I partition a 250GB Samsung SSD to run Win10 and EthOS? If so what partition format (FAT32 or NTFS or either)? I have 2 other bays but just this would be much easier.

2) I read the part about mandatory risers - mine just came with 2 stock RX 480's from Alienware (Dell). It's a gaming PC not a 6-GPU rig. Am I okay?

3) Coinbase isn't the correct address; I'm assuming Ethereum Wallet (Etherbase or Created Wallet 1) is the correct one to store/hold and eventually send to Coinbase? If I'm dead wrong someone please correct me immediately

3a) I have a friend who's running EthOS and per every reboot (or randomly), his wallet address generates right back to the stock (EthOS default) wallet address. What's going on here? (Note: He's running a 5-GPU rig, not a gaming PC like me).

4) Electrical costs are free; with stock RX480's and a Quad i5 6th gen, what's the best to mine (ETH, ETC, XMR, ZEC...?) - I know EthOS supports ZEC at least...

5) Since electricity is free (I actually have it split with a Antminer R4 on one circuit), would anybody recommend overclocking RX480's - does it make a substantial difference? Right now it runs cool (liquid cooled PSU) so not sure what overclocking would do or how much it'd increase performance... if someone does recommend overclocking, what specs (temp, fan speed, clock speed, etc.) would you recommend?

6) Which mining software works best on RX480's... Claymore? The stock config on EthOS? Something else?

7) Lastly, CPU mining on ETH is useless. Would it be feasible to mine any other AltCoin on EthOS via pure CPU mining?


Also, others with similar configs and reported hash rates would be nice too...



Thanks!
