I got a few PMs about UBIQ coins.
Let me clarify...
My ETH farms (6GHs) are NOT swinging to UBIQ mining.
However, my group have a small NVIDIA 1070, P106-100 farm that are mining UBIQ.
My point about UBIQ mining and why its a good alternative are as follows:
1. If you have a farm or many rigs - because of bigger hash, its still profitable to mine ETH but difficulty levels will creep in sooner or later - this is the main design of the "ice-age" phase nearing POS to discourage miners to drop off from POW. There is a possibility of POS delay up to 1.5 years more ... hopefully this can be confirmed and diff levels can be slowed down a bit more.
2. If you have only a few rigs, the difficulty levels will kick in very fast and its a lost cause mining ETH because it will take even longer to earn a coin.... while you could have earned more revenue in other coins. However, there are other coins that uses Ethash like UBIQ that is new and easy to mine and earn whole coins.
3. Continuity to mine and ROI your RX cards which are ideal for Ethash algorithm. RX can of course can mine ZEC and XMR or whatever, but by design and development of miner app like Claymore, they are best for Ethash/Dagger-Hashimoto coins.

I have 11 rx 570. I have calculated that i use 1550w total setup in two rigs. Is this power usage high? Thats about 140w per card (including other components), or 135w without other components.
If they are all running at stock settings, with no undervolting and you're using a 90% efficiency PSU I could see them using 135w at the wall for each GPU.
Running them on average 1150/2040 bios modded with undervolt only done with clynmore miner ccvdc option.
Add -allcoins 1 and it should work.
what's the catch with UBQ pools? Every pool I tried I get
"Socket was closed remotely (by pool)
ETH: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec..."
using Claymore's
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eu.ubiqpool.io:8008 -ewal 0xxxxx62A9d6b5xxxxx6759xxxxxdxx2 -epsw x -eworker rig1

If you have RX cards, mining UBIQ is profitable & hot now (uses Ethash algo) and its doesn't have crazy diff levels like ETH and you can still use Claymore dual miner. Dual mining possible. DCR is really hot now.
After you told me this, I started to mine UBIQ directly on Ubiq pool Is there a better pool for it?
And the profit is lower than it was with ETH, or a friend told me about EXP.
Could you tell me, in your opinion, why you consider is better Ubiq now? After 2 days, with 4 x RX 570 I made 7.5 Ubiq. Is this all right? Too much, too less?
)No judge, just want to know why you pointed me towards that coin. Anyhow, I listened to you and now I'm mining it
In 2 days -- you got 7.5 UBIQ coins.
In 2 days mining ETH..... not even 1 coin I think, due to the very very difficulty level.
UBIQ is a good alternative post-ETH mining.
There are several more other Ethash algo based coins like Expanse etc.
I mine at ubiqpool.io for UBIQ.

I bought 2 of those 2400w servers PSU's too Citronick. I like them, my only critique is sometimes they put out a very high pitched whistle.
I am in contact with their engineer and he said the Delta last forever only downside is that its meant for Data Centre use and its super loud due to the fan system. Its not meant for home use..... however, there are quiet as a mouse if load is less than 50%
40 mm fans are always going to be high RPM (and make a high-pitched noise) if they flow enough to cool a big PS like this Delta.
Delta makes good gear in general - this PS is made by the same company that makes Delta fans, and a few other items.
I don't know if this is the best place to ask but does anyone know where can i see new mineable coins? Something like a site that lists them maybe?
Almost everything on the announcement section is now an ICO, i would love to do some speculative mining but i can't catch the coins i can actually mine.

Any hot coins will surely appear marked "new" at yiimp, zpool and suprnova...

Can be annoying for a small home miner if they are close to you.
BTW..dam that 12 gpu mobo is sexy! <3

How did you guys know to jump on SIGT ? What indicators or resources do you use to jump into situations like that?
Follow the hype. To be honest I have no idea why it took off.. maybe because the "new" algo spiked interest and people couldn't immediately all slam it? Who knows... All I know is I wish I had jumped on sooner with more cards! Crimson red across the board....
I wonder if this is the moment when BTC ramps down like a rubber band getting ready zoom past 3000 $ by Aug 1st.....

It depends on the price of BCC. If the BCC price is near zero, the BTC price will rise a lot.

I like the pico idea... I just broke down and spent some of my BTC to buy one off amazon after seeing your photo citronick... couldn't resist.
A friend has a source on cheap: PWS-1K41P-1R 24Pin 1400W 1U (I think his price was ~30-40 each or less)
Using a pico would negate the need for soldering up an ATx power connector for the motherboards.... and I had already planned on soldering PCIE cables directly to the 24pin bus bar on the back.... so win win. I think ill mount it in my rosewell case in place of the coolmax 1600w I currently have in there.... because that coolmax is a massive power supply.... and it will free up space for another exhaust fan in the back where the PSU mounts.

Ive gone the route of server PSU's, but because im not that large yet and my rigs are not as dense, only 4 gpu per rig, i have been using the multi 750watt server psu units mostly, the decrease in watts at the plug is shocking...
I saw those prices as well. I don't understand why they don't sell individual cables. I found a few sites that custom make them but charge $20 for shipping!
Most of my EVGAs (EVGA-G2-1300s) will be phased out in favor of dual server PSU+pico+bb kit in the ETH farm.
I am sure I can find a few used cables for you.
If you want it - you got it - PM me for details.
I will have to DHL it to you because I am not based in the US.
Thanks for the offer. I think EVGA is going to send me the cables I need as a "one time courtesy". If that doesn't work out I'll be in touch.
I am curious for down the road if you could give some additional info about purchasing/setting up the dual server PSU+pico+bb kit.
no worries - just let me know if there are needed.
I get my server psu kits from "yslyung" and http://www.parallelminer.com/
My current ETH farms no are now more densed and simplified
12 x GA-RX470 on Biostar TB250, smOS Linux
Simplified PICO kit
Delta Server PSU (2400w 94% Platinum)
You can contact EVGA and ask for cables. Just make sure your product is registered. If you are nice they should offer to send you some cables for free. they sent me two molex cables for free a while back, but I dont know if they only give certain cables.
