Yah, the driver fix from AMD had been lackluster at best. I'm glad I sold what I did.

Worse yet - windows only, STILL no fix for LINUX - which is probably the OS on a large majority of mining rigs.

AMD proving to be out of touch a LOT this year on the GPU side.

Well, they don't see it as a major driving force of card sales going forward.

Seems that ETH team will remove the ice-age timebomb but will reduce the reward to half... either way I think its not a good deal for most miners.

Can somebody please enlighten me regarding this reward halving announcement.
They will see massive hashrate drop if they lower the mining rewards.
Ethereum network is breaking down every time a new ICO is launched on it.
With massive miner exodus it will probably totally collapse.
Are Vitalik&Co crazy to alienate miners?
Maybe I am missing some important piece of the puzzle?
Thank you.

If you are amd 470's,480's, 570's, 580's you should have sold and converted to 1080 ti's

you option now is windows 10 until linux has new drivers.

This being said, you never know what's around the corner. You can always mine something else after ETH. Granted it might be less profitable... but if you just carry on, you will accumulate coins that will probably be worth a lot more in a few months time. You do not HAVE TO sell your AMD cards.

The time to sell them was when I was telling people to sell them around 6 weeks ago..

If I had them now I would not sell them.

@ Citronick and SMos users.

I think you are mining ETH with AMD cards ,
Do you still use SMos ?

My RX470s are at SMos, running with claymore, and I'm sad of the hashrate due to DAG thing.
The new fixed AMD drivers helped for windows RIGs, but I'm looking for a solution for SMos rigs... other than switching to W10.
I never mined Eth with something else than Claymore. Maybe SMos include another miner "DAG proof" that you have successfully used ?

The ETH farm is still on smOS, 470s, 480s..... the new drivers need to work on Linux so that Tytanick can put it into smOS... need to wait that -- so this is a Linux issue.

Seems that ETH team will remove the ice-age timebomb but will reduce the reward to half... either way I think its not a good deal for most miners.

My farm is almost 6GHs so I may not feel the pain right away but for miners with 1ghs and below.... you will see the crawl in Linux.... unless you convert to Win10 and enjoy the new drivers.

DASH meanwhile is to the moon...... my baikals and ibelinks are working very hard tonight.

At the moment I am running all windows in my garage but zec and nvoc0017 at the solar array.

This means using all 1080tis rather then amd.

I sold everything but 1080tis

Because of the eth dag issues.

Is there any hope for a mix of 470 and 570s rigs on Linux? I'm getting 2.2 eth a month now and trying to make sense of all the big changes. I haven't updated any drivers or OS since installing everything in end of June. I'm still technically profitable, but with my hashrate dropping I think I have to make some changes... Is flipping between alt coins constantly like others do really worth it? Should I bite bullet and go through process of moving over to windows? Lots of questions!

Updated the new amd drivers on one of my three rigs tonight. I got about 10mhs after the driver update.

Somewhat unrelated question , for those running windows and using afterburner , what do you set your core voltage to ?

Same here, about 10-11 mh increase per rig.

In AB I set my core voltage to the max -96, clock from 1000 to 1050 depending on the card to get 860-900mv.
I only upgraded 3 rigs so far 2 RX470s, one RX460s. I've heard there's issues with the RX570/580s.

somebody knows why i got this error message : "result does not validate on cpu" while trying to mine sigt with ccminer?

edited: fixed lowering intensity to 15, funny thing is that i have been mining like 3 days with i=26, but windows made a restart and after that it didnt work anymore.

Sold some but kept some too.

One rig was ETC mining and showing the same decrease as ETH mining. (claymore)
After "amd fixed driver" update, both work better.
But this is only for windows...

Yeah it is a problem for me as I want nvoc0019. And or smos

Told you to sell them.

Have you figured if etc is better?

Then eth.

Anyone has any good ideas where next to point 67 x rigs (RX470,RX480,GTX1070,P106)?

If you don't like the idea of everyday switching between the alts suggested by the whattomine.com calculator, than just stick to ZEC, since Apple accepts it as legitimate cryptocurrency, so it has quite great a potential.

Apple?

I mine ZCash when away from the mine for a couple of days, otherwise ever switching.

I do something similar. I check whattomine about 3 times per day. I keep my sha256 rigs on NH all the time. My Baikals have been mining DASH on MPH for about 36 hrs and getting auto exchanged to BTC. (MPH has low fees compared to NH and ZPool.)
I will be checking whattomine in the next 10 minutes. If NH is paying better on X11 than I get with mining DASH, then I will switch my Baikals to NH for a day or so.
I do the same process for my GPU rigs.
Percentage wise, my GPU rigs spend more time on MPH then they do on NH. My Baikals spend slightly more time on NH than they do on MPH. However, when ETH was rapidly increasing in value earlier this year, my Baikals were generally mining DGB Qubit on MPH and getting auto exchanged to ETH.
I really like MPH' s hashing luck and it's low fees for mining plus the ability , for a very small fee, to auto exchange miner coins to many other coins.

I like MPH. It has been quite stable too.

My group's 6GHs GPU farms will be ending ETH mining soon - if ice-age comes down harder....

I am always looking for the new game in town.
