Topic: Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized. - page 69. (Read 108938 times)

it has only 6 pin power cables supplied. you will probably need 6+2 pin cables for the most of the cards. if you ask me, i don't trust those PSU's somehow, but maybe because i never used this kind of.

No issues for me on Skein.

Guys can i run two six card rigs off this power supply if I also use a small pc power supply for each mobo/cpu?

If so, how would I start them up?
Turn on server PSU then turn on pc PSU's then push power button on Mobo's?

Anyone else having problems with zpool returning invalid job ID and not mining? had 6 hours straight of that while sleeping.   

Just curious - what is the space you allocated for mining BURST?

Im finally back to >0.5/mo on my personal machines at home...  Haven't seen this kind of number since BTC was ~200....

I almost wish I had not spent that $$$ on my surgery recently but rather on a miner instead;  I would have been able to pay for 2 surgeries by now if I had....

I am  50-50

I am doing 110 usd a day. In the garage.



The solar array is chugging along.

The 1 ½ r4s are in my friends office.

I would have to say  this has been the best stretch ever for my mining.

BTC has crossed the 2300 mark.

 Sometimes, and they're usually at least close - plus their miner will switch algos for you automatically, though sometimes it's slow to do so.

 You can also point your miners direct at their pools, not using their software, which is nice for ASIC sometimes but usually isn't optimal for GPU rigs.


 BURST pools only pay out once a day, or when you exceed a certain threshold (depends on the specific pool), as a general rule. Don't panic 'till you go 2-3 days with no coin incomming into your wallet - if you're getting "reported" and "acknowleged" deadlines you should be fine.

 The pool websites, however, are an active pain to figure out what's going on. REALLY REALLY poor design, and seems like there's only 2 versions of the software the various pools use - and BOTH are ick.
 In fairness, you don't have a "Hashrate" as such, so the ONLY thing they can go by is when you report a valid deadline.

Your address or name should show up at the pool!
It's been a long time since I burstcoined mined

If it was able to be put inside the case I think so too

Can anyone who has burst mining experience give me some advice?  I ran the plotter and it finished.  I started up the mining process and paid my 1 coin to set my pool.  It told me to put my passphrase into the first box and BURST-32TT-TSAC-HTKW-CC26C into the second box, so I assume it should be mining at pool.burst-team.us.  I click start mining and it is running and it looks like is doing what it should be doing.  Every now and then I get a message that says a deadline was found, but there aren't any coins coming into my wallet.  It has been almost 24 hours now, and nothing.

If I go to the pools website, I am not even sure how to check my stats, nothing really shows up on the page.

Any advice?

Does anyone have a solution to the first GPU1 not working?  
I have swapped out GPUs, but GPU1 never works.  I have reduced to 5 GPUs, 4GPUs...but still GPU1 does not start.  I have moved the emulator...no change. 

Any Solutions/Experiences?

I had 2 in a case like yours and they were getting as hot as 75c mining zec a few months back + you can turn this HAB case into an open case rig by taking off all the side panels. There are some hdd cages on the lower level which can also be unscrewed and taken out as needed.

2 480's and 2 470's all 8gb. Mostly mining eth at 125.7 mh/s. Right now they are on zec with 1260 h/s.
Don't have a watt meter but gpu-z shows 80 - 90W for the 470's and 90-100W for the 480's. They are clocked high as power usage is not a concern. PS is a corsair rm850i

94 dollars - 15 rebate = 79

  i paid 44 for mine on sale

maybe I would get it.  what sapphires are in there and whats the watts pulled for the unit at the wall/

I've not had any problems with Flypool, been there for weeks and regular payments come through every few hours, straight to a Jaxx wallet. BTC transactions though have been VERY slow at times the past week ... one transaction took 3 days to confirm.

I would agree that consistent selling behavior will continue for ZEC ... mine ... sell ... mine ... sell, but hell there's profit to be had and it helps pay the power bills.

Shifted a few older cards recently and reinvested in more 1080ti cards, have a PALIT GeForce GTX 1080 TI Founders Edition 11 GB arriving tomorrow, got it for a good price ... not played with one of those before 

Have you considered this case?

It took some custom mounts to place the cards like that. The hottest one is in the middle at 65C.
Thanks for all your posts by the way. Very informative and helped me out choosing parts. 

Is it worth mining a coin as soon as it comes out?

Zencash is about to start in 6 hours after a fork from ZCL.

Whats the advantage of mining it straight away? very low difficulty ?

I have mined directly via major ZEC pools in the past and selling hash at Nicehash more often now...

Yes mining directly at major ZEC pools gives you at least 10-15% higher in converted coin value vs renting out GPU hash at Nicehash's Equihash marketplace...

BUT

1. ZEC pools have become so unreliable and slow in payments and confirmation - name me one good ZEC pool that doesnt struggle on getting and confirming blocks esp during network lags etc.

2. If you mine to exchange.... thats another layer of fees and other issues....

3. Nicehash gives me BTC upfront.... you sell they buy and pay BTC... their admin fees are a tad high though...

4. BTC value now is super good and eventually if you mine ETH, ZEC or XMR --- at some point you would convert to BTC or hard cash

5. No coin confirmation etc in Nicehash -- its a seller - buyer market place - so there is no waiting game

6. Sometimes, if not more often now.... buyers pay premium to rent from sellers, every day I see several spikes in rental profitability

7. While ZEC the coin is promising... its also a heavily sold coin.... just look back what happened end of last year after ZEC went POW

8. I foresee continued consistent selling behavior for this coin -- miners cashing out on ZEC will not help sustain this $200 plus dollars level so while all this good run of ZEC is good for the coin, I suspect its short term -- I hope I am wrong.... but meanwhile I will not complain and collect more BTCs from my GPU farms  


@VyprBTC
Point your miner to this pool; stratum+tcp://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357
Do some reading on how to get started at: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted

I wish I had a massive 1080Ti farm too lol

How do you tell Nicehash to only mine ZEC? Sorry for the newb question - but I'm a newb

Do they pay higher than mine direclty?
