Well yes and no.

xmr on the right cpu  makes only 25 cents a day profit.

but if you have a lot of 1080ti's   on the rig by a lot 3 or more it all kind of fucks up.  both the xmr and the gpu mining suffer.

So I do mine xmr on some 2 card rigs.

this only applies to 1080ti mining.  as all I own are 1080ti's.

At the moment I have 15 1080ti's

I have 9-10 fully setup mobos other then cards.

So I can run all my mobos as 2 card 1080ti's and toss in the xmr using nvoc0018  which lets me pick threads 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 

I am not doing that  I am testing  setups for the solar array project that buy solar and I may do.  we have 1 array at his home  it provides 9k winter 14 k summer 24/7 with grid tie.

so we can mine with free power up to 14k summer and up to 9k winter.

he wants to build one 3x the size     so 42k summer    27k winter 

   total  for the 2 arrays  = 56k summer  36k winter.

The bigger array will be 60 minute drive from us in Howell NJ 

   so stable rigs are more important then anything

we may go the route of lots of 2 or 3 card rigs  as size  of rigs  will not be the issue  stability is more important.

10  three card rigs   are better then 5 six card rigs  as we would not be so fast to drive 2 hours round trip if 1 3 card rig freezes    but if 1 10 card rig freezes you would drive to fix it.

Back to xmr  if you have a 2 card 1080 ti rig on nvoc0018  and mine 2 thread s or 3 threads it is fine. 

Hey, I remember that you Phil were mining with CPUs, have you dropped it ? I am considering to buy a rig, and I am not sure whether I should pick a simple Celeron or an higher-end one to mine ZCash.

Watch any vids you want, but do not trade with real money until you practice in every day trading on a test account at least during one month.

I'm joining Storx on the question.
From what I see, even with low SIGT price actually, you would have earned little more on SIGT than BTX.

Thanks - But I'm just looking for the data, that's it.  I have the TA part handled.

Thanks for the feedback.

I remember you were watching closely coins with masternodes.
Could you tell us wich ones you are working with and why ?
Always appreciate your sharings!

If you want to learn how to trade using Technical Analysis, search YouTube for Tone Vays. He does Market Analysis videos twice a week. He covers traditional markets, as well as crypto.  Helps you read the tea leaves of candles and trends.

That's what I thought at first - but I check it out on desktop and not able to locate BTC/SIGT.

That looks like TradingView interactive charts.

@Storx - what site do you use to generate the candle chairs that you posted earlier ?

Anyone has L3+ miners....

I have taken off my group's L3+ farm from Nicehash and experimented them to mine BitConnect tokens at https://bcc.coin-miners.info/index.php, with great success and sold them at Livecoin exchange for shiny BTCs.... 1 BCC is over 100$ and rising. Enjoy!

I suppose that is because you are mining a coin (which hasn't been raised) and you are paid that amount in BTC. So why would you want to be paid more?

Support for so many graphics cards is very cool, but I'd have to ask how practical it is to have so many eggs in one basket. If your motherboard/CPU/etc. fails, that means downtime for an awfully large number of cards until you can replace the board. Cable management and cooling would probably be problems too. (Reliable USB cables are only so long.)

You can follow my BTX mining here

http://yiimp.ccminer.org/?address=15pAaBSJBxBCnwef2N4BriYXv7XQK4CB7r

Over 24 hours the 4 workers (3/4GPUx1080ti rigs) mines around 17-22 coins

Mined to Cryptopia account and sold daily for BTC

I did read about the POS after a certain block

however seems still OK and 500 miners at yimp still hard at it

Each BTX is about 2 bucks.

Profitability per coin is slightly higher than SIGT.

Anyways, will mine till POS and move on to next coin...

...I may push all the 1080s to join in the ETH farm until Nov 1st.

That 4 x USB riser will be good combo with Phil's Z220 strategy.

Have you got a working rig with this adapters?

Phillip,

I have been searching for as much info as i can on all of this, because the Dell PC's i use have 4 PCIe slots, this would allow me to condense 16 x GPU's into one rig just using the 4x GPU risers, yet alone allow me to run ALL my GPU's off a single PC with one of those 8+ usb riser boards, from the reading i found you plug the usb cable end of the riser directly into those usb ports and its detected with no additional steps, just load the drivers and such....

3 different sites i read stated that the CPU was the limited factor on the 104 gpu setup, stating that each gpu consumes around 2-5% fluctuating cpu usage... so after 10 cards i guess you would be at 50% cpu load and 20 cards you would be near 100% cpu load, but then again they didnt specify which CPU these numbers were coming from... i could see something like AMD thread ripper or AMD Epyc allowing you to overcome this battle.... If i could load this many GPU's up on a single rig, i would cool the crap out of it, as i would image the CPU would run super hot processing all of that.. i would probably invest in watercooling just for that cpu alone...

Im curious what the usb cable limits are on using something like this or even single risers in general... because spacing out that many GPU's connected to a single computer would be a nightmare

they are nice gear but mobo's  and cpu's are not the money bottle neck  that gpu's and psu's are.

has any one shown  say 3 of the 8 board ones working ie 24 gpu's for 1 rig.


Two of these would allow my server to do 8 cards if it was any good.
It would be perfect for the server.

Citronick,

I am not unstanding why your mining BTX, when i run the math its coming out to about $4 per 1080ti, im averaging just over $5 per 1080ti still since block 30k reduction in reward. Maybe you can explain a little more on this so i can understand... I even ran the numbers off Yiimp taking the 24/hr earnings numbers per MH/s and its still less than SIGT, i must be missing something on this....

Just a little news that may change the gpu mining if everything works out for biostar. They stated they are working/resolving issues on a 104 GPU rig off a single motherboard.... WOW HOLY SHIT talk about game changing...
I honestly dont understand how they can get that to work when cpu's only have so many PCIe lanes... but they are smarter than me, so if they get it work, than so be it...


https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@storxusmc/could-this-be-the-holy-grail-of-gpu-mining-wow





These PCIe risers are rumored to be already been fully tested out and 100% functional with using 4 x GPU's per PCIe slot.... even these risers alone are game changing, yet alone if they can get that monster rig of 104 GPU's fully functional.



This is apparently a sneak peak of version 1 of the multi-usb board running 8 x AMD Vega's off a single x16 slot.

its still mining and still up at yimp

Yeah  the ryzen are good for XMR

What I found with this server  is it mines xmr nicely  with 2 1080 ti's  and it sucks with 3x 1080 ti's

As this server is sandy bridge  it is 5-6 year old tech.  So  I am  not going to mine it   with 3x 1080tis and mine xmr

When the second one comes  I will get it going   and it will be a six card rig.  I may  sell the better cpus and put in shit ones.

time will tell.  A lot depends on if buysolar and I make the second larger solar array.

the one we have now provides 'free' 24/7 power    around 13k in the summer and drops to 8k in the winter.

We  hope the next array  will do 40k in the summer and 24k in the winter

Giving us 53kwatts of juice  as a high and 37kwatts as a low.

53 kwatts  is  about 500th of s-9's  or about 35 of them.

but we will mix in gpu gear.

You can mine quite well with a Ryzen 7 1700. Mining XMR will only use up to 8 threads, so you can mine that and still have plenty of CPU left for any general office type PC work load. Even for algorithms that will use more threads you can specify how many to use in either a config or bat file.
