How come you are using more power on skein vs zcash on nicehash?
Is not skein less power-hungry?
Also, for ultimate profit, why not use miningpoolhub since its fees are lower?

bottom line is mining skein on nicehash is  not listed that I see.

but if you show me how to do it I will test it.

for me  I have 2 ways to mine

And
  zec at nicehash make less btc
 then mining skein at zpool makes.

I am mining btc not zec or skein  .  since in both case I get paid in btc.  not the alt coins.

I mine btc  via gpu and auto vert.

I could not care  about anything but btc which is .050btc at zpool  or 0.33 btc  at nicehash.

If you can show me how to mine any coin at nicehash  and do better then 0.05 btc a day with my gear.

 I will try it.

right now in a month  it would be 1.5 btc vs .99 btc  and that is factual.

So my comparsion is btc a day  not skein or zec.  using the same gpus.

So using the same gpus  at nicehash   I get .99 btc
using the same gpus at zpool             I get 1.50 btc

more power  at zpool doing skein   12 kwatts a day  so at 20 cents 2.50 x 30 = 75 buck more power.

so  lower the 1.50 btc for zpool by 0.030 btc extra power or 1.47 btc  vs .99 btc with the power adjustment.

that is 2,740 x 1.47 = 4027 usd  vs 2,712 usd.

Now I have no other facts  but for now I am mining with zpool over nicehash.

Ran out of gaming cases so just had it on piece of wood -

GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-UD3 ATX
i3
4gb ram
1TB SSD (ran out of small ones)
EVGA g2 850w
3 1080 Ti's

Flawless now that GPUs are screwed in.

What was your exact setup?

Hey philipma1957, do you currently have 2 duplicate rigs? Have you tried to mine zcash on zpool and the other rig mine zcash on nicehash that way it's the same test? Using 2 different algo isn't very fair to compare pool profits.

I deleted your post no facts posted in it.

My facts are I earn more money  with zpool mining only skein vs nicehash mining only zcash.

In both cases I do auto vert to btc.

Same gear

ebwf 3.3  for zcash
ccminer/alexis-1.0 for skein

I earn  about .050 btc a day with skein on zpool
I earn  about .033 btc a day with zcash on nicehash

Has anyone tried a Optane Hypetane drive in a Z270 rig yet?

This is what im running over on my 2nd PC rig on Linux... https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-MTS800-Solid-State-TS64GMTS800/dp/B00KLTPUPA/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1496883402&sr=1-7&keywords=64gb+ssd

I plan on purchasing a copy of ethos once i get confirmation its cable of being used on nvidia cards.. they dont say anything about it on the site and i can never catch them in the discord server

You've personally tested that theory and have solid fact based evidence?

I have had a few different ones, they all seem about equal more or less. Kingston is always a good bet, but a little more expensive normally.  I would just go for value over brand.

Going to switch to SSD. Any suggestions on which ones to use and the connectors for them?

@Phil

I'm about to receive my first Nvidia cards.

They are 4x Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce OC 3G

I don't remember, did you use them Phil ? (before you go for 1070/1080)
Any suggest for settings? I would like to use a 750w PSU, and the mobo will be the asus z170 you sold me, with or without risers

You just going to set the mobo on the birch? I was having issues with the 1080's being so heavy, they would lean to the side then the mobo would lose the connection with the GPU, had to secure the GPU so it wouldn't move or wiggle. That's the ONLY reason I'm in cases right now till I build a stabilizer bar for the GPUs

Going to get cracking on this 1080 TI build tomorrow !

I definitely agree with Phil here -

Also Phil - the 3 full length cards are not running that hot at all -

I lowered TDP to 65% still getting 850 MH/s per card - temps a respectable 61°/64°/60°c and drawing 160-163w per card

5.4 MH/w

those settings  should be tweaked


90% tdp = waste of money

+250 core =  good if  nothing crashes


0 mem  is okay but -100 to -500 save power with no effect on hash

900 to 1000  = pretty much  what you can get.



I would do

75%  tdp

+230  +240 + 250 core     just to see what happens

if you have  255tdp  gpus   your power supply  is  5 x 255 x .9 = 1147 plus the mobo cpu etc

You are really pushing that PSU...have you measured it at the wall with a Kill-A-Watt?
5 x 1080ti @90% is going to be at least ~225W per card for a total of 1125W for just the cards alone

Any feedback on MPH vs Zpool results?

My facility has 415v 40A 3 phrase, split to 3x single phrase circuits. Sufficient for 16000W.
Im using btc autoconvert at miningpoolhub, it works for me. Not sure if there's any difference as I have not tested it.

kayden are you running all of this off a single power circuit? i tried to run a 2nd pc with 2 more 1080tis in my office (2nd bedroom) bringing me up to 4 total and it booted fine,,but as soon as the miner started the circuit breaker tripped for that circuit in my condo... so im thinking i need to run 3 card setups maybe

also what wallet are you using with dgb coin payout at miningpoolhub since they dont autoconvert to btc, im still learning and want to possibly move if i can gain back the 20% earnings difference i see when calculating mining skein at the hashrate my cards perform at.....i currently use jaxx wallet and it doesnt support dgb coin wallets

I pointed my 1080ti rigs to miningpoolhub. No auto switching just skein. My zpool stats got weird yesterday, showing only 1.3gh while it should be 5, hence the change.

Now runnng 5x 1080ti per rig, on a 1200W Evga P2 psu. 90% TDP, + 250 core, no change in mem, 950mhs on Skein per gpu.
