AMD card for ETH, Nvidia card for ETH.

Sometimes other coin will gain more, but ETH always back to his throne.
I think the new DAG in a couple of hours might take care of that "fact".

yup .... every dag is getting more and more painful even for my 6ghs farm....

... the ice-age timebomb is painful, I dont think I can bear till 1st Nov even with reward halving - either way miners are screwed

my only consolation is we have vaulted all mined ETH since January -- hope it would be worth higher when it reaches POS.

If it reaches full POS, I think the ETH price will drop. I do not see any good POS coin so far.

Phil talked about xmr a week or two ago in here ... price shoots up. Only if I would have listened

All my mobos are mining xmr

A few dollars extra each day.

Is mining xmr more profitable than zec? I switched to zec about a month ago because it was more profitable than eth. I have some older cards... 3 290x's 1 480 and 2 270's.

good deal on the amd ryzen 1800x



469.99

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-AMD-RYZEN-7-1800X-8-Core-3-6-GHz-Socket-AM4-YD180XBCAEWOF-Desktop-Processor/272599572981?


used code p10college

dropped price 47 bucks.

8% ebucks  today  dropped 37.60 more  

so 469.99 - 47 =  422.99 - 37.60 =  385.39  this is cheap for that item  it is about 459 at newegg and amazon


make sure you can get both coupons  P10College stacked with  8% ebucks.

I will sit on this cpu for just a bit while looking for a good mobo

Phil - whats a good mobo for the 1800? Prefer with onboard on/off buttons. Thanks

in whattomine.com

this is the first time i see Monero on top spot and ETH in 4th spot - amazing

and this is promising since my ETH farm will soon need to find another coin to mine after Nov 1st.

Difficulty increase ?

surely.... but anything better than ETH difficulty now is a blessing

About 1080Tis, what is best for Zec/Zen mining ? EWBF last version or claymore last version ? or anything else ?

 In my testing, EWBF 3.3 had a slight edge over Claymore 12.4

 I've not tried 3.4 on anything yet.



I thought Claymore zcash miner was AMD only... What am I missing?

works for both AMD and Nvidia

No it doesn't, Claymore's Zcash miner is AMD only. You need EWBF miner for nV rigs.

yups - Claymore ZEC is AMD only

the Claymore ETH miner is the one that supports both.

The main issue with VEGA is that I can't do anything about voltage.
This is grayed in Afterburner.


You can use the wattman tool that comes with the new beta mining driver to alter Vega things that are greyed out in Afterburner.  You will have to wait for an updated version of Afterburner, I suppose.

I was thinking to set voltage in claymore, but I don't know the stock one. It doesn't appear in AB, and even gpu-z doesn't show it.
I don't know if this is because of Beta drivers or not.
If you have ideas, I can try !

HWInfo can tell you the stock voltages.

I tried dual mining with PASC, but result were not very high : eth dropped to 36mh (from 41)
Maybe I could have better result with a lower consumption, but I don't manage to undervolt yet. Sad
I'm using AB beta 16.

I think OEM driver would let me undervolt, but I'll loose many hashrate from Beta driver...

You might have tried this already but when dual mining you need to mess with -dcri that sometimes will help.
