What's everyones thoughts on genesis mining bitcoin mining contract? I ran the numbers on the 20 TH contract and it should be a solid 600 profit a month open ended contract, so 4-5 month ROI, charge a dollar a day maintenance fee at 20 TH, so 40 would be 2 dollar etc

I used my buddys code to bring it down to almost $2.5k, a lot of people talk negatively about it, but if you compare the numbers thats pretty solid with zero % hassle lol, don't get me wrong I'm about to working on building 2 more rigs but its nice to mix it up I guess.

What are everyone elses thoughts here? I've been on their Monero contract for a month now and earned 6 Monero, this BTC contract on todays rates is almost 2x as profitable it seems. If anyone wants 3% off you can use my coupon discount code for genesis mining = p7Yi4l

http://imgur.com/a/IlDYW

Screenshot of sliding purchase bar, price is before 3% discount applied. Their bitcoin contracts seem to come & go, it's been unavailable for the past couple weeks but available ATM.

Again this is a genuine post as a lot of good discussion takes place in this thread, but per the numbers the some rigs will make this same amount for a couple hundred bucks less? What do you guys think?

edit why do my images rarely work?

Does anyone use alexisminer here? i want to mine DGB but i couldn't find any documentation on the github repo on how to set it up.

Use this miner here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nemosminer-multi-algo-profit-switching-nvidiacpu-miner-1777336

Alexis78 is built into it. Code below thanks to jared.
Open text document, paste, save as a .bat file in the miner folder and run it.

Code:

:start
ccminerAlexis78.exe -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:4933 -u 1PeXHjiP1BQJtwEavVdp8bKWZXiHAnRH5x -p Testrig,c=BTC,skein,stats
goto start

Does this auto switch the profit i recieve into btc? i want to get paid in DGB axtually not in btc!

That is 2 1070 katana
1 1080ti aorus
1 1070 msi gamer

I wanted to check the synch box to set all three 1070's together

It did not work well the katana near hat big fat ass aorus would over heat.

So I did 4 settings for four card no synching more work.

All my builds now will be based on the

GIGABYTE GA-Z270P-D3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX

http://www.ebay.com/itm/381927411340?

with 2 identical 1080 ti's
and one 1070 itx

and an 850 watt psu
I get these as low as 95 dollars on a sale
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rosewill-Quark-Series-850W-80-PLUS-Platinum-Full-Modular-Power-Supply/172183274675?

these can expand with ease to 4 cards
compact

what 1080 ti's will you be using with the board?

philip sorry to derail this thread, here you mentioned that you might build an enclosure for the rigs, and you pointed to radiator fans, I was browsing this forum and came across a post by MarkAz, that those fans may be not good enough here so if you do go ahead, please be careful.

I too was looking for an alternative, but no luck so far Sad

Okay I checked markAZ posts he is in Arizona thus the AZ

see this it has his new fans I know them

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17015309

here is one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Comair-Rotron-10-Fan-Model-CLE2L2-P-N-020188-115-Volts-/263012142494?

uses 120 volts it will cut your finger off as it has metal blades .

I used them years ago.

I had riser free 4 card builds with xfx hd7970 mining btc back in 2012

I had these with grills in open case builds it would stack right over the four cards it worked.

I really hurt a finger as the grills were not quite perfect. If you get these be really careful

this has grill

philipma1957, have you ever tried to have multiple type of GPUs in the same motherboard?

Yes and it can work fine or not.

The aorus 1080ti is clocked high to start so on msi afterburner if I set its core at 250 it crashes
the msi aero 1080 ti is clocked lower to start so on msi afterburner if I set its core to 250 it works.

So If I mix the two above I can not check the synch box for settings and clock core at 250
I can synch at 160 as my aorus likes a core of 160 but this makes the hash on the msi aero pretty low.
So I don't check synch and do 2 different settings for the 2x 1080 ti's

this is one example of 2 like and 1 different.

and 2 like and 2 different

When I see these rigs this motivates me, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with my Rig, If it put only 3 GPUs (3x XFX RX 470) it works well, sometimes i get only 4MH/s on GPU 0 (dont know why)

But still when I put a different type of GPU, in the Claymore I get red text and it exits, when I go to Manage Devices I see a yellow warning on 2-3 graphics and that's the error 43 which tells me to remove them or install the drivers, i tried with a patch then restart it works only for that GPU not for others.

I'm having issues with 4x XFX 470, MSI 470 and Saphire 570. The issue is with drivers and the windows is not accepting them in the Device manager!

When I connect the MSI and 570 the windows doesn't get logged in, but I get only black screen sometimes and sometimes it just freezes at Welcome.

Phil, what is your advice? I have to choose between this GB models:

AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti 11G
GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC 11G

http://www.gigabyte.com/Comparison/Result/3?pids=6275,6262

The difference in the prices is about $43. Do you think the higher core clock and the better(is it really better) cooler cost $43?

I have around 6 Aorus and from my experience I would say, when you build your rig please leave ample space between the cards(add a high cfm fan pushing air from the front), and I recently go the extreme edition of it and the huge copper place dispenses a lot of heat, keeping the card cool but if you place the next gpu nearby that heat is sucked into it creating a chain effect.

Hope this helps

Regards,
BLife

yeah I had the issue of it passing heat to the next gpu. So if you go riser route here are links for very good long usb 3.0 cables

This allowed me to space the card further away

3 ft vs 2 foot
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEPM6L4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?

4 ft
https://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-USB-3-0-Cable-SuperSpeed/dp/B00D8JFNO8/ref=sr_1_1?

you will get enough space with the longer cables. This was another reason for me to pass on more aorus my space is small for the rigs.

@ konqueror

I only have owned the bigger aorus I don't like it due to fat size and two 8 pin connectors.
Also it does not play well with others it will not run on the same clocks as the msi aero or founders edition.
So if I want a rig with 1080ti's I would need all aorus.
In my case it would not be a good card for me. So I only purchased the one.

As long as returns are easy I would get the white one , but as I said I never owned the white one so my opinion is truly half assed as I only have 1/2 the proper info. Grin

Phil do you have a preference in brand for the 1070 or is it just price?

So far all my 1070's have been good. the first 3 are specialty

katana a 1 slot card.
http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-GeForce-GTX-1070-KATANA_p_130.html

gigabyte itx a short card

The ones above all work fine.
For me how I want to use a card is what matters. Note this is for 1070's .
All my builds from now on will be this idea
So this means
the gigabyte itx or the msi aero itx and I will use the cheapest and fastest to get to my house

Smart - for the past 3 hours Skein earnings are zero - it's basically flatlined, how that is possible I have no idea. Maybe the graph is messed up or something but i don't know how my earnings are going sideways and not up lol.

Guess I'll swap it over to Zec myself.

same here, I too noticed that for about an hour there is no earnings, though the hash is being registered, I guess there might be a problem with reward distribution.
I mine at zpool.ca though.

Phil, WTF, check your PM's and your emails. I also text messaged and tried to facetime you. And skyped you. You didn't answer any of them yet. Hurry up!

Tongue

Man I've been back and forth to Best Buy and the local shop all day today, grabbed 3 motherboards, only 1 worked but only slots 1 & 2 GPU's work, slot 3 doesn't work so it's a 2 card rig for now.

The other 2 boards I'm taking back right now. Going to get some more boards to play with and hope they work.

All this really does take up a ton of time. lol

You got me to smile.

I switched off skein and am doing Zec via nicehash.

Runs a bit cooler.

Still does not earn as much as skein.

But I jump to Zec one or two days each week.
