I highly recommend you give mRemoteNG a try. Open source and free. No restrictions.

great!

I love this mobaxterm, I fell in love with it since "carloshell" introduced it to me recently.

Now... all my VNC and SSH session are now centralized with mobaxterm, so I can manage all nvoc and smos rigs.

Awesome thank you !

Easy but I was missing the main info : miner and miner

phil... have you done fullzero's suggested nvoc's core +200, mem +900, PL 135 ?
He is having a blast on his Zotac 1070 Minis with those settings.

1. create an SSH session
2. enter remote host = 192.168.... your rig's IP address
3. enter specify username = miner
4. ssh port is default, use that
5. press ok.... it will prompt you for password, enter "miner" --- this process only required once
6. summary .... userid/password is miner and miner
7. you should be in by now.... to see your mining console "screen -x miner"
 

Your clocks are wasting money

First put --pec   At the end of your bat file

Restart miner and wait for the sols to watts number.

It will be 2.8 to 3.1

Drop the tdp to 80%

And check your sols to watts it will improve.

Make manual fan at 75%

Come with results

Then we can tweak memory

 

Skein with zpool converting to btc
Zec with nicehash converting to btc

Both are good.

Citronik, with mobaxterm , what do we have to use as Port , User and Password ?
I managed to get nothing

Great arguments as always Citronick
What miner and pool do you prefer for ZEC?

the primary coin for NVIDIA, IMHO is ZEC

However, NVIDIA cards are also blessed to be powerful cards for many other other coins like Skein, LyraeREv2...

Nicehash and zpool are exciting places if you have a NVIDIA cards.

For your 1070, try +100/+900

at 437sols using a mere 1070, you are right there nose to nose with high end AMD R9 cards like Fury and Nanos.

if you try a 1080ti.... you zoom past 700sols and a bit

Got my very first nvidia card after buying all RX 470/480s for the past year, 33 in total.
Zotac GTX 1070 mini, $350 from newegg.com.

I'm getting around 437 sols mining zcash with EWBF 0.3.3b 90% power, +200 core, +550 mem.
Can I get more? Please share some tricks and tips!
Also, which coin is more profitable to mine lately? I see Phil and others say skein, I've also heard DGB?

Isnt pro duo also water cooled?

I think at stock 600sols and with OC settings maybe that pro duo seller touched 900sols with special setting.

Anyways, if using for a rig or two ok but would not want to use pro duo for ZEC mining farm because it will expensive to babysit.

$750 is the cheapest in my country. If I look at ebay, I take a hit in currency exchange, as well as need to pay $65~$75 for shipping.

900sols for around 350~400 watts, is what people have reported. It doesn't beat the nvida cards in Hash per watt, but it wins in hash per dollar. On the specs at least. I guess I'll need to pick one up and test it myself...

Good points  on yesterday's ebay ebuck event

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-1080-DirectX-12-GV-N1080WF3OC-8GD-8GB-256-Bit-GDDR5X-PCI-Ex-/302026275977?


this was 500 - 40 for ebucks or 460  it does 540 sols  or 1.17 sols per 1 dollar

uses less power and has a better resale  but  the pro duo  at 1.55 sols wins  of course  the power use is an issue

as the nvidia's use less power.  So for resale  as  the coins come back to realty the 1080 will sell better on a resale.

For me I ordered another 1080 ti  comes next week  my cost was

650 - 51 in ebucks or 599

http://www.ebay.com/itm/332208363827?


There are coins that are good better then zec  that I am sure the nvidia has software to mine.

Skein is better then zec.    I have yet to see amd mine it.

so 590 for 650 sols  if you buy from newegg is

about 1.1 sols a dollar

and the pro duo is   1.55 sols a dollar


So power consumption and resale value   make the 1080ti close  but   maybe the pro duo at his price is a better deal.

Simple  questions  why 750  a card?  yesterday card were selling  1080ti's as low as 590 a card on ebay


what power does that pro duo use  to do 900 sols for zec  400 watts?  

yesterdays sale on ebay

this one was 635 minus the ebucks  was 590

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-DirectX-12-GV-N108TGAMING-OC-11GD-11GB-352-Bit-GDDR/292077280960?

this was about 640 after ebucks

Thanks.

The cheapest 1080ti I can buy is the ZOTAC FE, and it costs $750, so for me it offers 0.93H/$.

The Pro Duo costs $580 and can do 900+sols, i.e. 1.55H/$.

For the setup, thinking more about it, I would probably use 2 x Pro Duos per rig, plugged directly to a cheap mATX mobo with 2 x PCI-E 16x slots, like BIOSTAR H170GT3 or Asrock B85M Pro4 (both cost $67 here), so no risers required.

For power, I'm guessing a 850W PSU should be enough for that setup, but it won't have enough PCI-E ports, so maybe a 1000W Corsair with 6 ports.

A Corsair RM1000x has 6 x 8pin ports, so it could power two cards, but it won't have any 8pin cables for the CPU... Any advice here?

Pro Duo are with HBM memory same like Nanos -- ZEC likes those fast HBM memory and lots of compute cycles.

Unfortunately.... Fury cards needs alot of power (exception of Nano which is 150 tdp or with modded rom even less power).

Using normal PSU ie. EVGA-1300-G2, there are 6 x VGA connectors on those.... so if you card needs 3 x 8pins then you can do only 2 cards with this PSU.

If you use EVGA-1600-G2, the are 9 x VGA connectors on those... so you can install only 3 Pro Duos.

For risers, you get power from SATA power cables from the PSU.

If you use a server PSU/pico/breakout board solution, you can have up to 10 x 6pin connectors per PSU.

Assuming you need at least 300w per card, you can get a dual server PSU of 1200w each = 2400watts total for 3 x cards per PSU.

So with this dual server PSU solution, you can get 6 x Pro Duos. But you probably need to custom make your cables to have at least one cable for each card to have an extended PCIE or SATA connector to power your risers.

Alternatively, you can use NVIDIA cards for ZEC.

A 1080ti can outhash your Pro Duos... 700sols per card easy.

A 1070 can do 400ish sols, which is comparable with a Nano or Fury.

The 1080ti uses 2 x8pins and 1070 uses 1x8pins.

So there you have it..... NVIDIA maybe better in ZEC mining after all.

@Citronick (and whoever can offer some advice)

Sorry to piggy back on this.
I have the opportunity to buy Pro Duo cards for about $580 a piece brand new, which I understand is a pretty attractive price.
Since basically they are two Nanos in a single package, do you think building a ZEC rig with Pro Duos is a viable option at this price?
Also, the Pro Duo has 3 x 8pin power ports. Would you plug each port separately directly from the PSU?
Or would it be ok to share a single PCI-E cable among two ports and use another cable shared among the remaining port and the riser (total two PCI-E cables)?
Thanks in advance.

Republicans in congress are starting to get involved in the case to put the irs in line.

As far as taxes go I would just do your best to report your earning and gains.  It is basically impossible to report absolutely everything and figure out a cost basis to be 100% correct as the irs wants.  Nothing actually gets reported at this point so the summons is just so they can sniff out the big fish dodging taxes anyway..

The previous poster is incorrect about the value being assign when you transfer coins.  The only that that actually matters is the date you acquired them and the date you sold them, what happens to the price before that point does not matter.
