Monero fork is due on 6.04.2018: https://github.com/monero-project/monero

UGH they pushed it back?! Damnit. I was looking forward to this.

Me too. I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer before we can mine it again. I wonder what's going to happen with the price of Monero after the fork.

Rise hopefully, but since everything is so directly tied to BTC it almost doesn't matter...

I expect a big drop in overall monero hashpower just after the fork. Should we try to get a few extra coins from it?

I'll be switching over to XMR the very minute the fork happens - I expect a massive hashrate drop

Let's hope SMos will update fast !

My Vegas are running Windows - don't think Vegas are supported under SMOS yet..

so to be clear 6 April 2018 is the new fork date for xmr correct?

Correct

You are spreading wrong information... Monero fork is due on 6.04.2018: https://github.com/monero-project/monero
Claymore did announce a new version for both CPU and GPU miners: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32659476

Sorry for my mistake.
I've followed a hot discussion of the fork of both monero team and xmr-stak team just a day ago and both sides where pretty sure that the fork's due 28.03.18, never bothered to double-check.

As for Claymore's miners the author did not answer any questions nor announced anything in GPU thread :-(
Good to find such a news about the update.

The one thing I would worry about is that solar and car alternator systems are NOT in fact +12VDC, but 13.6 "nominal" and commonly up to 15 VDC when charging.

That is some great advice, to be completely honest with you, we didnt even think about the voltage being that high when we ran it off the diesel engine. The GPU seemed to not have any issues with it, atleast the one we are testing it out on. Im shocked we didn't damage the GPU trying to run it this way, because the alternator ramped up to 14.7v under load of mining....

In regards to hooking up the GPU, the gpu is plugged directly into the mobo of the test pc currently... no riser at all being used for this setup. The GPU itself is getting its 12v and grnd from outside of the atx psu.

Im pretty sure the solar controller is capable of adjusting the max voltage down closer to 12v, just need to look further into it.

It can't go TOO low or it doesn't charge the batteries.
Standard lead-acid batteries (which are still the norm in solar/wind power systems 'cause they're CHEAP for the capacity, and the weight isn't an issue) require a good bit more than 12 VDC to charge them - and tend to deliver a bit more than 12 VDC under light-to-medium load when fully charged.

No we want to lower the voltage because the intentions of this system is a setup that will use 100% of the solar+more... the rig is still mining, we decided to run it another night with the solar controller turned down on the max battery voltage some.

We have it setup in Lithium Battery mode, which produces a max voltage of 12.6 according to the manual, we are saw as high as 12.5v during peak of the day.

Definitely going to have the rigs at the ready haha. Think Nicehash will have the algo? Hope not lol.

Nicehash is using either XMRig or Stak-XMR - both have announced upgrades, XMRig already had the new code available next week and it's trivial to install the new code manually.
I wouldn't count on Nicehash having no miners prepared for the fork when it happens....

for those of you still chasing XMR profits, I just swapped from claymore to xmr-stak-win64 and am seeing better results; more consistent poolside hashrate reports, etc....

Monero fork is due on 28.03.18
After the fork monero will be mined with modified algo (so called V7). At the moment other cryptonight coins do not follow the fork.
So we have question - to keep mining coins with old algo with ASIC threatening any use of GPU for mining or to switch to new algo.
BTW XMR-STAK will release updated version of miner that will automatically switch to new monero algo and Claymore do not announce any intensions to update cryptonight miner to new algo.

The Monero fork was originally announced for March 28, but it looks like it may have been pushed back a bit for additional testing.
XMRig already had a new miner update out last week, xmr-stak had support for the changed algorithm announced but not sure if their update is published yet.
I figure hashrate will dump bigtime if only due to the existing botnets probably not being able to upgrade for a while (if ever), plus some folks WON'T get the word for a while.

On another topic....

While mining RVN, I tried my first experience on a decentralized exchange ... never knew that such a crypto exchange exist -- similar interface to Bittrex, Binance, Poloniex... but this decentralized exchange operates fully on its own "blockchain" or at least that how I imagined how a decentralized exchange works. Anyways, check it out at https://crypto-bridge.org/ --- you need to download the DEX client ~ "cryptobridge decentralized exchange beta 0.10.5"

Now I know why Binance announced that they are planning something similar and will be launching their own blockchain.

If this is the future of digital crypto exchanges.... I am very impressed.

Check it out.

Give us a review of your experience ! would be very interesting

car generators/alternators will go up to 16 volts if you are gunning the engine.

I have a link for a dc to dc somewhere someplace let me look for it.

this is too much $$
and limits to 150 watts

but you need something like this

I'm looking around here in mining section after quite some time. Glad to see you're still helping after all these years. I remember in setting up my first rig, you helped a lot.

Few merits for ya!

That's exactly what I always loved and always bought, and I still have three of those running right in my room right now.
