$90 after rebate

MSI Z270-A PRO (in stock: 5 per customer at Newegg; also at Amazon)

I added a second nvOCv0014 image which fully supports this motherboard.

Example rig; 1.02 $/hash (hash in sol/s) or less: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18903759

I like that it is a new a z270. So what CPU did you use?

Core i3-7100

I'm sure you already noticed on the other thread. I really like this cpu, I usually go cheap with cpu's using G1840s or G4400s; glad I tried this one. 4x threads makes it alot better for +cpu mining; reasonably priced as well.

I have that CPU.

I just have been busy and not tried the new os.

Why not use the Pentium G4560, it is significantly cheaper, also 2C4T and only has 10% slower clock speeds compare to i3 7100.

Okay I do have a few pentium and they are next worthless for mining cpu.

I do have a lot of 6400t four core and when I am mining with gpus they are turned on and using power.

If I mine xmr with it only 3 threads the extra power is almost nothing at all. say a bump of 20 watts

20 watts = say ½ kwatt or at 10 cents a kwatt it is 5 cents a day more power. I have 2 6400t psu running xmr at the moment they spend 10 cents in power and earn 60 cents

a net of 50 cents

I have one running hodl it earns 16 cents and spends 5 cents a net of 11 cents

71 cents a day x 365 = 259 usd extra for 3 6400t cpus

You can find them on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-i5-6400T-Quad-Core-2-20GHz-Skylake-CPU-8-00-GT-s-6MB-SR2L1-FCLGA1151-/332205631246?

I get 9 % off due to an ebucks promo so the 145 price drops to 132

the pentium 4560 is 62 after promo it is 57 so I paid 132-57 = 75 for 1

I have 3 so 3 x 75 = 225 and I earn 259 extra in a year a profit of 259-225= 34.

And the i5 6400t will hold value for ebay resale.

here is a new i3 7100t newegg on ebay

I am looking forward to test your OS on my development machine soon.

Let me know if you have any issues. What kind of motherboard does your development machine have?

What do you cpu mine with that cpu and what hashrate do you get for it?

Quote from: fullzero

The existence of ETC is a major reason why ETH really can't go POS; not that I think it was likely in the first place.

This two statements are intriguing, especially connection between ETH not being able to go POS because of ETC staying POW.
Could you elaborate?

ETH going POS would be like Coke deciding they will no longer produce Coca-Cola Classic, but will only sell Coke zero.

In the future you will get 100:1 chance to get Coke Zero when buying Classic!
https://github.com/ethereum/research/wiki/Casper-Version-1-Implementation-Guide

Their bullshit has its own bullshit.

Called this over a year ago; took 6 months longer than I expected.

Quote from: ?? on ??

The closer you look at ETH; the more questions you will have.

The best thing ETH has going for it is that most people will never read the whitepaper or review any of the code.

I'm betting in 6 months there will be a nerf announcement; which drastically reduces what ETH will actually do.

So with POS essentially being out of the door, the question of Ice Age remains.
As I understand it, its main purpose is to prevent the necessity of another hard-fork.
But this article https://btcmanager.com/ethereum-ice-age-approaches-community-vote-on-mining-reward-cut/
states

Quote

The Ethereum ice age is a mining difficulty adjustment scheme that was created to incentivize miners to switch to the new PoS blockchain. Once the fork is executed, the mining difficulty rises exponentially to a point where it would be impossible for miners to keep up with the difficulty increase that would hike block time and make the blockchain effectively freeze.

So, with POS being postponed (indefinitely?), how will Ehereum deal with bloated blockchain now? Another hardfork is imminent. But it leads to the question of increased difficulty.
In context that is also relevant to our interests, there is also the issue of proposal to reduce the mining rewards in an effort to boost ETH prices.
https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/186
But that proposal was written when ETH was worth less then a dollar.
With current high prices of ETH, the incentive to reduce the rewards diminishes.

So with all this in mind, I am totally confused still. So much smoke and mirrors.
POS coming and not coming at the same time, increased difficulty on current blockchain to force move to a new blockchain, reduced mining rewards, you name it, ETH has it all!
Please somebody tell me whether I am to go forth and build another (Vega?) rig.

just wondering if your Linux OS is a good candidate to be integrated in Tytanick's smOS ?

I am testing your OS soon standalone - looking fwd to it

I don't want anyone to have to pay to use nvOC, now; or in the future. Running a website does have overhead costs, and requires maintenance; so I can understand why Tytanick is planning on eventually charging a small fee (especially with the number of smOS users; demanding resources from his server or instance).

I have already had members request farm management tools and local stats / web management. I will probably make an application users can run on a single computer on their lan to get stats / push updates from. Then maybe, I will make a website like smOS. I am guessing that most members who run a farm would be able to ssh / vnc / rdp ect... into a single rig running the stats/push application on their lan to remote monitor and push changes to rigs; so there isn't really a need for a website anyway: however maybe I am completely wrong with that assumption. You can probably give me solid feedback on that.

fully understand on your objectives for this OS.

Hi fullzero,

how many cards can you get working on this board?

~~what CPU, RAM, GPU did you test for this board?~~

just visited your link - thanks

Any experience with 1060 Zotac or evga mini single fan? Contemplating between that or evga gaming dual fan. Seems like the obvious choice would be a dual fan card unless blower style but maybe they use less power.

zotac 1060 mini 6gb card is pretty good I rna it for 20 days and then returned it to amazon as I don't have room for lots of mobos and cards.

In a world of magic where I get all the gear I want all the time I would have a few hundred of these mobos
at least one dozen of the boards would have 8 zotac 1060 minis

I share the same world of final fantasy with you.... a few thousands of 470s and 1070s, and 300 of these mobos.... I will be a happy camper

I'm looking forward to seeing whats comes out of lightningasic, but so far I noticed the 1-5 month waiting time time they gave you for barebones. I guess I could still try 6x GPU server rigs with 1060 cards as well if power consumption isn't too high.

Just did a little testing with 2 x 1080 ti Founder Editions

Power limit - 80%
Core clock - default
Memory clock +800
Fan speed - 70%

Those settings land me around 1771 core / 11610 memory and 530W at the wall for ~36.7 Mh/s per card
This system is a Supermicro motherboard with dual Xeon 2670 CPU's and 128GB ram, so system power is pretty high.

ZEC and other coins give far better results at considerably less power
For instance I can get ~1050 sol/s for only 370W at the wall, which is ~4.2 sol/W

@ citronick I will give a try for the 1080 ti doing claymore

on my aorus 1080 ti I get 36mh for eth
on my msi 1070 I get 30mh for eth

showing as 63.9 on the pool .

I would need time to figure out watts

OMG a 1080ti does 36 out of the box with clamores how much power does it draw phill?

I'm so Disappointed with my rx580, it mocks my $195 480 red devil card. I allways see my 580 in
claymores just .2 mh behind my 480. Cant believe I waited a month and a 1/2 for this card, I would have gladly
paid double for the 1080ti card for 36mh. Cry

I need to move gear around to measure watts used.

hey everyone... I know it's a bit off-topic but was wondering if anyone here is using the Ledger Nano-S hardware wallet to store ETH/BTC. I've got one coming tomorrow and was just wondering if there are any gotchas or things to look out for before moving some coins onto it.

I have a Ledger Wallet.... I love it.

Recovery mechanism is nice; Easy to access via Chrome app. All spends are 2FA or more (depends on how you set it up).

All done on-device. It's my cold storage, along with a paper self generated vanity second one.

Cool! Thanks to you and the others that replied. I just got it in the mail so will work on setting it up this weekend. I will likely just try moving something like .25 ETH from a couple of places to it first to make sure i understand it all and don't risk losing a large amount. but seems pretty straight forward from what I've seen.

Is it possible to run amd And NVIDIA cards on the same rig ?

Yes - but in general the machine will end up being somewhat less stable than running a "pure" rig one way or the other.

Easy to do on Windows 7 or 10 (almost the ONLY think Windows does better than LINUX), can be done under LINUX but the installation of drivers is a bit more complicated.

So if I have a rig with 5x SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon R9 280X DirectX 12 100363VX-3L 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X WITH BOOST (UEFI) Video Card

I want to add another card to this rig, I am planning to mine zcash with it --- I want to add the most effective card to this rig, what would everyone suggest?

Buy a kill-a-watt meter and see how much power you are pulling on the rig.

those cards pull heavy power.

Let us know the watts you use at the meter
Let us know the hashrate you have
Let us know your power cost.

I may suggest buy no more cards until you sell off some of the r9 280x cards.
I would like to give you correct advice.
