All computers running Windows 10 are technically part of a legal botnet. Windows 10 inspects, analyzes and even deletes files it doesn't like: without your approval. Updates you have to cripple the OS to stop, uploading all your files to their servers, scanning your network, it goes on and on.

Windows will soon push a new version called Windows 10 Cloud; which is the reemergence of their lockdown on general purpose computing. See this classic article by Cory Doctorow for a good read: http://boingboing.net/2012/01/10/lockdown.html

LOL, so true, we are screwed!

Not really windows 7 mines fine with this software.

I mean, looking at the big picture, i mine on linux only, but my desktop pc and notebook are windows, and yes 7, for now, but it won't last forever.

Hello,

I have used EWBF miner since its inception, but recently Windows Defender identified the 0.32b version as having a Trojan:Win32 Skeeyah.A!bit. This seems strange because it is a miner, why wouldn't it detect it as crypto miner and a trojan instead?

Anwyway, just wondering..
All versions that I've ever had were downloaded from EWBF's google drive account.

Thanks,

antivirus programs almost always detects crypto coins related software as troyan/virus/malware, that's probably uncle sam idea of trying to scare people out of cryptos hehe.

create a exception for it and that's it, one of the reasons i don't use antivirus anymore, 99.9% of the time is pain in the ass with the false positives and doesn't block what it should.

Miners are detected as virus because they are included in some botnets.

hello this miner works great I was wondering 2 things

mining zclassic

it is very fast when starting the file but then it slows down a lot. If I close the miner and restart it is fast finding lots of shares then slows down is that normal?

how can I have the miner start when the computer turns on so if power goes off and computer restarts the miner will automatically start

thanks

You can clic & drag the Startup folder to the Desktop and put your Bat. file in.

You can try this one for an hour to make sure it works and then modify the tADDRESS.rig with yours....or not. Tongue

Hey guys,
I got 5 rx 480s (and one 1070), 480's sweet spot is 1200 mhz base and 2250 mem clock (it doesn't go higher), they do around 300-300 sol/s per card.
Yet my 1070 does 460 sol/s, so I'm gonna make another rig with 1070's.

I'm looking for a maker which doesn't have warranty void shit if thermal paste is changed (msi has that for example),
so I ran into 1070 mini http://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1070IXOC-8GD#kf
I can get it pretty cheap, my question is - does it perform as well as the "normal" 1070?
Does it overheat? I want to change the thermal paste cause some tests show -5 to -10 celsius and +100 on clock speed if good paste is used.

What do you guys think?

Hello all,

I've been working on optimizing the miner for windows and linux.

Here's my most optimal current setup:

miner v0.3.3b
GTX 1070
Windows 7
90% TDP
+200 Core Clock
+700 Memory Clock
450 Sol/s

I'd prefer to mine in linux, and my initial setup attempt with ubuntu 16.10 - I've not been able to get overclocking to work right so it seems it is at stock - but at 100% TDP, it seems I'm only getting 420sol/s.

Has anyone been able to get better numbers with linux at all or should I stick with Windows 7? I've had a very frustrating time working with trying to get the overclock to work, doesn't seem to be functional via the GUI.

Maybe this is an old problem but.. I forced p 0 state on nvidia inspector. when rig is in idle mode I see p 0 state but when I start ewbf going to p 2 state. Even if I forced it on p 0.
Do you have fixed this problem?

Win10. New whql driver

I found a work around by changing the P2 state memory clock. Core clock comes from the P0 state for me.

short small lightweight only has a 8 pin for power.

Don't use the Mini cards for mining. They will go hot, throttle and deliver a low hashrate. After a while the Fans will break as well..

I use Zotac 1070 mini for a year now for mining 24/7. No issues ..it's bullshit to claim and generalize if one is failing. The AMP! are the worst cards..

For zcash with reduced tdp it might not be a problem with the mini cards, but for other algos like ethereum+dualmining and 100% tdp it is..
I have a few mini cards, and they trottle and deliver a low hashrate over time.

Yeah Zcash algo is not that demanding, but also the Zotac card, is not that "mini". It is still relatively large and has big heatsink and has two fans.

here it is in red at nicehash

Do you have problems with temp?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18479423

no my msi afterburner is

   0
   72% ---------power limit
+233 --------- core
+233 --------- ram
   66% -------- fan speed

my entire system watts 175
my hash rate is about 510h

I will be adding 2 1080ti's to this
newer setting of 75% power = 176 watts whole system about 510 h

161 watts at 67 power setting gave me about 490 h

I have a 1080 and I can do

160 watts at wall on kwatt meter and hash about 492h

do the numbers below reflect at the wall numbers?

edit that is a software number used below so it does not include the rig just the card.

try to increase your ram you can squeeze more hash without increase the wattage
