there is a GTX 1080 "GP-104-100" 60Mhs ETH


 I'll believe that claim if I see it. There is no way they could DOUBLE the performance of a GTX 1080 on ETH while leaving it on GDDR 5x (excessive latency issues), and even if they moved it to GDDR 5 (not X) I doubt they could get it to 50 even with super-upgraded memory timings.

 On the other hand, I've seen 30% power savings quoted for the GP104-100 - THAT seems possible, especially if they "factory undervolt" it at all compared to existing GTX 1080 cards.


Maybe they should get us faster memory for the ETH mining.

That "60MHs" threw me off too and asked my contacts to provide some proof...

and he sent me this:

apparently NVIDIA has gone all out to get a killer mining card out with custom PCB, passive-cooling and custom ROMs.

I manage to get the Windows-to-Go on a USB3 32GB Sandisk Cruiser.... and surprisingly this guy boots up fast in every brand of motherboard I have.

Occasionally, W10 complains about low disk space but I manage to keep the thumdrive lean after installing TightVNC, Google Drive, Claymore and EWBF

Anybody knows if I can remove the other stuff Windows have like, Paint, Media Player, Mail, Photo Viewer --- SEE BELOW etc?


 Win10 won't let you delete some stuff, but stuff like Paint and Media Player should be deleteable.
 I used the 16GB version of the Cruiser on some of my LINUX rigs for a while - impressively fast for a USB drive you could buy at Wal-Mart at the time.

Anyone checked out equidash mining on zpool mining HUSH? Looks really profitable just trying to work out the best miner and how to get it going.  Think I have got it going with EWBF but it was only using 40% of my GPU need to figure out what I did wrong.

Incase anyone else was interested I managed to get it going on zpool.  I used EWBF 3.03 here is my bat.

miner --server hush.mine.zpool.ca --user 1PA51RVeugsAnKJpJa8siSZTjGccjXaeMb --pass z --port 2142

I get around 710 sol.

The coins it mines are zclassic, hush and komodo maybe some others I havent had it going more than 1.5 hours.  The price of HUSH has dropped alot so this is not super profitable as it was few days ago.  But it does appear to be almost as profitable as Skien so far but I will need to mine overnight to confirm.

When i installed Windows on the GO, it said it was installing Windows Enterprise edition and that 32GB was the minimal size USB drive needed, but the actual install size on the USB drive is only 22.1GB. I am going to leave this in my mining rig running for the next few days to make sure its stable running it this way.. i did notice a small drop in wattage running the usb drive over the mechanical hd also...



forget about 32 gig drives for windows.

my wife grabbed a win10 netbook a while back with a 32 gig ssd. ran ok for a while till the last win10 update. came up with an "out of space" error and would not update. wound up compressing the whole drive to get room.

and it has a sd card for most programs/data so the only thing on the ssd is windows and thunderbird. and i run ccleaner religiously. 32 gigs is just too small.

get a 64 gig drive for windows.

not to forget about 16gb virtual drive requirement for Claymore running multi GPU, a ultra fast 64gb will be minimum..... 64gb usb3 will be expensive to deploy VS a 120gb Kingston SSD or a simple 64gb SSD.

is there a way to auto restart EWBF miner if miner or GPU has a problem ? like watchdog for claymore ?

Try this:

Code:

:restart
Timeout /t 30
miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1cURHbxrB4xtBNaPH5xLFWE9CvPU5XQcFZ.ew --pass x --port 3333 --fee 0 --eexit 3 --log 1 --pec
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :restart


Does that go in the miner batch file? Also (newb question) how do I get the IP address?

This starts the miner and also monitors it
The IP address is a standard host only IP address that the program puts out for monitoring


I once had a power shell script that would monitor any mining software  but I can't find it anywhere

took me forever but i found it
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0614dRHRS0RYXRnNWtpeWRjbDg/view?usp=sharing


Thanks for sharing. With my limited knowledge, I changed things around for my ewbf miner but it keeps restarting when it is working well. I think it is because of this argument "if($global:count -gt 5)". What does that exactly imply?

The Global count is number of times the gpu goes to 0 after 5 times it restarts the program
I wrote some of this back when zec miners first came out. I update it soon for ewbf miner

'The right to privacy matters'
If it's a fresh install where did you put the driver?

I am guessing vyper got lucky and had a 2.0 on his board and plugging it into that one worked..
Tried all my usb ports and no go.. err checked ASUS all usb are 3.0...

The usb dvd is 2.0 and so is the stick...
What is the work around for the Asus z270 AR?
Go to Asus website and download the drivers and put it on the same USB drive you have the Windows ISO, should work.  Google ASUS clean install with no 3.0 usb support, I am sure it will come up.

buy one of these




https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033Z2BAQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?

I thought you had one when you asked me for a dvd to install with

I would have shipped it in the same box.
I sent the dvd to you in.


 
I have three of them Angry
Just for this reason.
I should have asked , but you can get around it if you have another pc.  and download shit from asus.
I don't use asus mobo's much any more..  as they really suck to load win 7  and the work around is buy the sata dvd-rom player.


I still prefer win 7 to win 10  as win 10 is a bitch with defenders and constant updating.

I only had USB 3.0 on that motherboard.. I have a gigabyte board with usb 2.0 and I was getting the same issue.. it's just not my night.

I also tried the Asus ez installer and couldn't figure out how to get that to work.. I am giving up for the night as its late and I am tired..

I hate not having a mining rig up.. just losing money..

Meanwhile my contacts sent me this allegedly coming out to the market in 2 weeks...

Looks like this card has no video output !

I assume that this is the 1060 Mining Edition, NVIDIA has been talking about.



I like the idea of a mining edition GPU, but honestly i dont see it being worth it for us... because the price they quoted was only $20 less than the standard 1060 card and the mining cards only come with 3 month warranty on parts ONLY, labor and shipping not included.... then there was the info that you can only purchase them in quantities of 20 at a time for some reason... so you have to buy 20 and build 4 x 5 card rigs or have odd extra's....

there is a GTX 1080 "GP-104-100" 60Mhs ETH version of this mining card according to my sources but NVIDIA and their gang will release the "GP-106-100" GTX 1060 variant first.... without RX cards in sight..... and AMD will be focussing on their $1200 Vega's -- I think NVIDIA has once again put a dent on AMD's armor and will get into the cryptoworld big time.

Can anyone help with a quick OS problem?
I've never seen this in my dozens of time trying to install a Windows OS, especially Win 7..

I made a bootable thumb drive from a an ISO that a reputable Key seller on ebay provided (one Phil recommednded) as I can't find my disk and I go to install and I get to s screen that says select a driver, typically where you select x86 or x64 and it says no device driver found? I tried mounting the iso a few more times and reformating the thumb, nothing..

Phil was kind enough to send me a Win 7 CD, I buy an external CD drive and I get the same error..
I even plug in another SSD that doesn't have an OS (other SSD had Server 2012 on it), and that doesn't work..
Can anyone help me as I have never seen this issue before..

Funny thing was.. when I was on Server 2012, that system booted up, I was only reformating it as I couldn't get the LAN drivers to work and needed internet..


had that issue with my MB when did a clean install (Gigabyte GA270P-D3) when trying to to install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit.....the ISO does not support USB 3.0 so it wouldn't be able to read somehow the USB correctly.

Had to go to Gigabyte's website and download a driver to install on the USB stick that let it run the install correctly.

Good luck!

Damn you hit the nail on the head, the Mobo's I was having that issue with was the GA270P-D3's - it was the first 3 or 4 and now that I think about it it was the blue 3.0 port, and I remember each time replugging it into the black USB port which I'm guessing is 2.0!

I smarted up and now I just clone the finished drive. Went from 1 hour to get a rig up and running to 10 minutes. Made setting up my tiny militia much more tolerable, being I'm a solo op



Reading what the previous poster said this is def the issue.  Hopefully your motherboard has some non usb 3.0 ports.  Or you could use windows 10 instead.  Your windows 7 key will likely work for win10. I installed win10 yesterday on my win 7 key for two machines.

I am using Win10 and had that issue - i just think it's the 3.0 ports.

im sorry i mistakenly typed in the wrong number when i was typing up the above numbers... good catch..
I opened up my spreadsheet and the numbers were not even close to what i typed earlier.. i will correct it.. so you understand....

My current hashrate for skein is 12,503Mh/s across the 13 cards.. not 22503... my bad

So currently pool reports 0.00413, so 12,503x0.00413=0.05163739mBTC/day or $129.37, so $9.95/ea

what ccminer are you using to mine blake256r8 algo?

I mine blake2s with ccminer-x64 2.0

Storx it would be really helpful if when you made comments you could include some detail as you have made several comments and left out all the detail.

You claimed to make $17 per day on Skein and Blake.  Then corrected your skein.  But not your blake2s. So I can only assume those figures were wrong also.

I was able to guess you were mining blake2s not blake2b or something else??? I guessed maybe 2s??.  I got around 2700 Hash on CC miner doing Blake2s algo.  This was on a 1080 Ti Aorus and a handful of tweaking.  That came back as around $4.50 a day or less.  So yer I am not really sure whats going on in your screenshots.  

Some updates for anyone else.   Skein is still the most profitable.  

Here is what I make per day as of right now for one 1080 ti before power and fees.  All my cards are around 75-90 tpd because my power is cheap I can push my skien TPD slightly higher.  I have tweaked the clocks and cores.

Skein = $10.85  (alexisminer) 1000 Hash
Zec = $9.49   (EWBF 3.03b?) 720
Eth = $7.03   ( Claymore or Genoil) 37 (if claymore can mine a little sia for 370 so this bumps it up a little also)

Zec is looking really good right now.  And Skein has really dropped off lately but I have not seen it be less profitable than zec yet.

Anyone else mining any other algos or coins and have similar or better results?  If so please share Cheesy

Numbers actually look like mines. I'm currently on a mine and hold pattern since all overhead is paid for  the month so not too worried about the USD$ amount converted to BTC currently since Skein will stay Skein, Zec will stay Zec and Eth/Eth.

I was getting that error - I would plug it into a different usb port reboot and it would read it, so I'm not sure what the issue was but it did happen to me on a handful of installs.
