Topic: Fourth alt coin thread last three got oversized. - page 71. (Read 108938 times)

June 5th correct?

If i have a rig minig zcash, would it also be fine mining burst with an external hard drive?

Anyone ever get that itch to buy mining gear?
It's about to kill me waiting for vega!!!

 Be wary of the BURSTcoin calculators out there - they all underestimate the "network TB" by quite a lot, and uniformly give an estimated return that is commonly 30-50% higher than the number of coin you will mine in reality.

 I believe the issue is that the NET TB only counts whichever specific miner machine from a given person last submitted a valid deadline (for those of us that have multiple machines mining to one address) due to how the pools are built - and that machine is NOT always the highest-capacity machine a specific individual has.


 This is not to say "don't mine BURST" - it's DEFINITELY worthwhile if you have spare HD capasity you're not doing anything else with.


 Now for a scary thought - if Backblaze were to assign 4 of their "vaults" to BURST mining, running Seagate Archive 8GB drives in the pods (480 GB per pod minus RAID redundancy) they'd roughly double the network TB - and for them that would be a rather SMALL part of their total drive capacity.

Have you looked into mining with HDD's at all?  There is a nice little Burstcoin calculator out there, but can't seem to find anything similar for Storj?  I love the idea and think it could be big, especially with Storj's huge ICO the other day, but want to do some estimates before throwing a grand or two into harddrives.

Holy mother of Z-ca$h.

Nice pop!

Did you do any tinkering with UEFI (is it a UEFI install of Windows on a GPT partition?) and did you mess with PCIE version settings?  I'm on 3 with my TB85 and want to add #4 and #5, right now not running UEFI boot.   Thanks in advance!

I believe in all examples I have originally seen, it showed commas.   I know other apps just want the numbers listed.

70% power  and only do skein  far easier on the cards and 1080 ti's =$$$

The ZEC is similar to bitcoin but with more features. So there is a possibility that it will rise.

I need think to be safe, putting c=BTC no harm done.

In fact the OP, Mr. crackfoo has suggested the same.

Also, no blanks in between commas if you need to put additional switches.

Why do you use c=BTC?
I thought BTC is default and "c=" is for payments in other currencies.

I think its time to keep a stash of ETHs .... at the way things are going... ETH (now 164$) ...rumored 1500 this time next year before POS thats a cool 10x.

ZEC aint too bad too at 215 bucks now.

IMHO, all this bad BIP148 talk is giving weight to the other BTC contenders especially ZEC (215$), XMR (35$), DASH (126$).

Btw, I tuned the 1080Ti and 980Ti 's Powerlimit all the way down in Afterburner -- these cards in multi-algo mode runs very very hot.

three three card  rigs 

I just bumped intensity up a notch to 26 on all three.  the i5 6400t cpus can do this  easy.

I  now do   140 core  0 memory 68% power  75% fans

7.7 to 7.9 gh for 9 1080 ti's  which is over 865 a card

The 1070 katana build is doing   some eth coin .

I am earning about 100 usd a day  on 2.3 kwatts of power

if I were all s-9's  I would have 23000 th   of hash for the same 2.3 kwatts

and I would be earning about 23 dollars a day

23 vs  100 = amazing

It is based off my batch, which is totally fine.  It's a public resource if you ask me personally, plus crackfoo gave my a very generous donation in the past for posting and updating it.

I love seeing my code snippets all over the net... not just these batch files, but there are others lurking here and there in other sites/apps that I keep quiet about... im not one with an EGO.



skein is really the most profitable ATM.  the switches are just during market flux when buy or sell order spreads spike up....  but it's usually short lived; and the price has to stay up for the auto-exchange to actually benefit.

I don't really do any bios mods myself... im not a power pincher.. but you have a lot at stake, and it could add up.

Phil has been running at -30% power or so I believe, and I have see GPU clocks +300 I believe and good results....

Check intensity settings;
quickly make a batch to launch just skein;  but add -i 26 to the string.   let it smooth out over 3-5 min, then note hashrate;  try up to an intensity of 29; and as low as 21... might be able to tune in hash per watt better that way.  If you up intensity by one, and don't see an increase, back it off one and leave it there, or maybe back it off one more if the below mentioned conditions arise.

But default intensity on ccmineralexis78 has been pretty spot-on for 9-10 series cards aside from the low end 9 series cards, which like an intensity of ~23.  If you put intensity too high, you will see hashrate suffer a bit (sometimes errors and no hashrate), and the display updates are insanely slow.  I get mine to the point where the display updates are a little skippy (dragging the window around) and HID inputs (KB/mouse) aren't horribly delayed.   Seems to be the sweet spot for me.

I am currently running NemosMiner to stretch the legs of a brand new Zotac 1080Ti (and my old 980Ti).
I am also trying out MSI Gaming M5.
This NemosMiner... reminds me of the Jared Karagen scripts not too long ago.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17729122
NemosMiner multi algo profit switching NVIDIA  miner for Mining Pool Hub & ZPOOL v-1.7.3
is made up of multiple versions of open source miners including Genoil, EWBF, Alexis78, Tanguy ...
NemosMiner-v1.7.3-ZPOOL has 15 different algorithms enabled (hmq1725,bitcore,decred,timetravel,lyra2z,sib-x11ghost,lbry,lyra2v2,neoscrypt,nist5,skein,x17,blake2s,blakecoin,c11) 
auto switches to the most profitable algo/coin


The miner is spending a lot of time mining Skein at the moment - see below.
I haven't done any changes to boost settings on the 1080Ti and 980Ti.
Any performance suggestions and do's and dont's for this 1080Ti?

oah snap;  I misread your naming of the miner names in the password string.  I thought they were listed as the amounts of cards in each rig XD

they are all 3 card rigs and I am running some sidehack usb sticks and some xmr on the cpus

Power is not the issue I can provide up to 48 amps of 240 power.
I am doing only 9-10 amps.

heat is a killer
and my power bill jumps from 9.7  cents net  to 18 cents net from june 1 to sept 30

but I may run one rig with 3 instance as 1 rig has 3 different 1080 ti's

after all my hyping up skein;  the hashrate on zpool has over tripled in the last week.... (just looked, actually more than 5x)  So I am glad that some people are finally coming around to seeing that everyone jumping on the same horse slows down the ride for everyone aboard.

Im curious on how profitability will flux because of the increase in hash.  I have always maintained the belief (though my own findings over the last year) that if pool hashrate grows beyond a certain point;  you don't feel the luck spikes near as much; and in the end;  overall profitability deltas down a bit.

but then again, the markets are in such a flux recently, that it's hard to distinguish ATM.  I did however love it when I was 10-30% of the pool hashrate for only 1Gh....   Those were some damned good profitable days.  And everyone was screaming about ETH and ZEC value dropping/diff rising.

DGB almost broke 1000 satoshis... which is unheard of.  a week ago it climbed to 100.....
AUR has been garnishing buy and hold support as well, so Skein keeps maintaining its high profitability.

When I start trying to max out the wattage I can safely consume at my home (power included free with my with rent), Ill be looking to underclock my machines just so I can fit more cards in play;  I think it should make it a little better to have more cards running slightly underclocked; than to have less cards running full-ham.

Phillip;

As a test, maybe take that 4 card rig, and split it into two instances of ccminer for 2 cards each....   I wonder if it would give you a little extra on the pool-hashrate-calculation side of things and increase profitability a little.

I.E.
First instance:
ccminer.exe -d 0,1 -i 26,26 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:5033 -u BTC ADDRESS -p  Miner1Instance1,c=BTC,etc.....

Second Instance:
ccminer.exe -d 2,3 -i 26,26 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.zpool.ca:5033 -u BTC ADDRESS -p   Miner1Instance2,c=BTC,etc.....

In a few instances I was able to get a little more out of some rigs.  It also helps for shotty or high latency internet connections sometimes.  More data out sometimes helps push packets through the ISP's systems.  It was a big problem for me previously on my cellular connections.

YMMV though.

I set power lower 65%   about 800 a 1080 ti   room is cooler and pretty stable mining
