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...

Now the money is free, and so the people will be
Claymore will release a new version with lbry mining with asm, so x2 performance I guess.  VEGA is a beast for dual mining I have heard.  Power usage is extremely high though, it needs to be underclocked and undervolted A LOT.  Have you tried with msi afterburner beta V 16 ?  on msi website its only v12 i think, you have to go on guru3d to get the v 16.

In case anybody interested, I grabbed a Vega 64 for test. (all claymore)

Eth mining 34mh stock with last AMD driver,
37mh with blockchain beta driver, and 41mh with simple OC.


less than 500h/s ZEC mining with last claymore.

Very noisy.
500euros in Germany.
Won't buy more if it stay at that level.

try dual mining sia or dcr or lbr

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

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 !

Theranos Coin - IoT + micro-blood arrays = Moon!
Nice to see XMR rising towards $100! If that keeps up, may extend the useful life of my 24 470's lol.

Was actually considering changing over my 2 rigs that can't dual mine to XMR but it's been so freaking long since I mined it, I couldn't remember the sweet spot for strap-1500 modded 470s... as far as core clock/memory clock settings go.

Something like 1200/1900 rings a bell, but can't remember for sure.  Anyone have any suggestions for this scenario?

XMR doesnt need much memory and I remember the ETH rigs used up to 30% less watts compared to ETH mining. Reduced power or heat are 2 good reasons alone for going to XMR -- post life after ETH and ZEC.


For XFX 470s, at least, copy the 1625 strap upwards (not the 1500).  Core: 1256  Mem: 1600/1650 - you don't have to go any higher to get 850/860 H/s and that's very stable.

I was reading  about the amd thread ripper 1920x    claims of 890h  for cryptonight mining

that is about 5 bucks a day using  220 watts  which is about 6 kwatts   60 cents

of course   a mobo + a 1920x + ram + cooler  = 1300

Ya im seriously contemplating buying a new setup for my personal gaming rig using the Threadripper platform, There is a guy on Steemit who posted up the 1920x and 1950x cpu benchmarks, he claimed with some tweaking he managed $5.37/day earnings on the 1920x and $6.83/day on the 1950x... it seemed overclocking the memory played the biggest role in earnings compared to overclocking the actual core speed...

Basically $800 for the 1920x, roughly 148-150 days
Basically $1000 for the 1950x, roughly 146-148 days

Literally the same break even as most 1080ti's, and CPU is far easier to manage temperatures on and doesn't become obsolete nearly as fast as well should not just wear out like a GPU will....

Then there is the guy on hardware overclockers who installed 2 x Epyc 7401 on a Supermicro A+ H11DSi Motherboard, which is dual socket... giving him 48 cores and 96 threads and he is claiming cpu mining hashrates in the 3800h

let say 1080 TI will give us 2-5$ a day so avarage 3$ a day. Price of new card is around 700$

The ROI is : 700 / 3 /30  > 7 month. This is not count Mobo or ram or PSU.

I really want to give it a try but all the numbers are again it.

I will add more 1080 ti's for the next three months

What kind of price are you gettting your 1080Ti's for?

 Newegg usually has at least one card on sale at $699 (most commonly the Gigabyte Windforce model).

 If you're running riser rigs, though, I'd recommend paying a little more for the Aorus as it's noticeably higher performance and cools a lot better.



570s and 580s have dropped heavly in price

i picked up 4 for 269 and an 8GB for 320 today

I think its better to buy those if you have the space

if they drop in price a little more I would agree

Phil - Spoondolies and BTCS? What miner did BTCS make? Do you recall?

Looks like worthy competition coming to Canaan and Bitmain.

BTCS didn't make any miners. They attempted to buy Spondoolies but it didn't work out.

Around the same time they were also trying to build a mine in North Carolina (IIRC) mostly with Spondoolies gear.

I would not expect anything that BTCS does to effectively compete with Canaan or Bitmain.

It's hard to scale with this model, though.  Unless you were looking to make it the base system for adding GPUs on top.

I think there is a thread here where a guy bought some Open compute blades and was doing pretty well in comparison to a GPU rig price and profit wise.

Guys, what is the best place to look for NEW mineable coins?

this lists almost  all the coins

https://coinmarketcap.com/

over 800 of them  at the very least  look at it.

Read it and if you think you can pick a winner have at it.

Thanks, I look at coinmarketcap few times a day, but I was thinking about where to find coin announcements, to know how to mine a coin from day1. On coin market cap, listed coin are already after its day1...or I'm wrong?

Evaluation if it's worth mining a coin from D1, its a different story, but just wonder what is the best place to look? Kinda messy Announcement thread or some place else?

they are on:
 reddit
bitcointalk announcement thread
twitter feeds
facebook

meanwhile ZEC chugs along 2-5 dollars  about a 3 dollar average on a 1080 ti

Can the 1080ti go on beast mode with Monero and deliver better profits than ZEC?

 1080ti isn't a particularly good Monero mining card. It's EFFICIENT, but the hashrate doesn't justify the price (a BIOS-modded RX 470 can almost match the hashrate at similar power usage).

 Sweet spot there seems to be a modded good-overclocking RX 470/570 or some of the lower-end Pascal NVidia cards (or the GTX 750ti for low-cost rigs still does well at 250 hash/s or so on 50 watts or so power draw in my fairly limited testing that probably was NOT optimised).



I think the 1080Ti will be long lasting as ETH will be PoS next year.

Thinking of throwing some hash at IntenseCoin for the lulz.

What's the best nvidia mining software for Cryptonight currently? I tried tpruvot's ccminer 2 in a hurry last night but it only produced 50h/s on a 1080... :-/ Must be something better out there (or I got the settings wrong)?
