it was with Novc19

how do u change the ebwf fee

EWBF *IS* configureable on dev fee.

I do agree that 2% is a total ripoff, given none of them offer any significantly higher hashrate than the others, and Claymore at 2% on his ETH miner is only worthwhile *IF* you use the dual mining feature (which IS unique), as a straight ETH miner it's VERY little or no better than the last Genoil release from what, 2 years ago?

In my experience, you lose too much while switching to make up for any gains, most of the time.
The stress on your GPU would be lower, as it would have periods of just sitting around not actually mining while the algorithm gets initialized during switches.

Baikal N news has prompted me to try and offload my last 2 Vegas. Going to keep plugging away on ZEC with 7x 1060s and 2x 1070s for now, was pointed at Nicehash but fancy a change after the recent income drops!

Oh well good cause I have 0 RMAs for 0 dead cards! 

I reported it..

do this again and I will tag you

nope  


you goose killer you!!!

Seriously the argument in your favor would be its a fad (mining) and won't last so squeeze every nickel I can get out of it as fast as possible.
Same is true with coinswitching
and asics for all coins.

With enough believers that is exactly what happens. The goose dies a few years or even decades early.


Hey I have more rants developers charge 2% fees.  

ebwf
dstm
bminer
claymore

for zec  why?


seems to me  if you drop to 1%  even 0.5%  you would force the others out, but no only 4 guys they shake hands and stick at 2%

here is the key only 4 guys
miners  = 4000 or 40000 or 400,000 guys

it is easy for four guys to agree to rip off 40000 guys
it is not easy for 40000+ guys to agree to rip off 4 guys.

Simply post in dstm thread every miner will mine with the first developer  that drops to 0.5% fee
we think you are smarter then the other 3 morons  so we all pick you.
then to show we are real we all switch to dstm upfront, fucking the other 3 programmers and dstm sees the light and does the switch to 0.5%.


We all the zec miners in the world would never do that.
But those four programmers have all agreed to do that by all charging us 2%.
Best of all they don't ever need to talk to each other or contact each other they simply match the 2% and it is an unspoken agreement with no way to prove it.
While if we the zec miners do to them what I just typed it would be really hard for us to coordinate and may even be considered to be doing rico law violation in the USA

We work  at this disadvantage as miners all the time.

Which is why  some miners will do 110% tdp  and rma a lot
it is why a miner will do switching coins in hopes of better returns.
other tricks from gpu miners buy some cards from amazon in nov and return them in late jan.
getting 70 days of free card use.

My edge is the solar array and the willingness to not overexpand

Oh shit I shouldn't post a picture of all my RMAs?

3 rants.

asics for all coins
coinswitchers
100-120% tdp miners that do rmas

Goose murdering mofos


for those that miss the reference

personally i dont think its to much stress on the gpu, i run all my gpu's on profit switching with awesome miner, once you get your settings setup per algo correctly and not try to push the limits to the max on everything, then you get reliable service from switching, i get weeks to months between hiccups on my rigs, most of the time the hiccup is due to some sort of windows update hijacking my rigs even tho i turned off updates and such. just annoyed with windows on this...

Yeah i get that part but still mining zec is on the lower part of profit..how about using multi pool/algo switchers like sniff dog or nplus miner,what do you think about them or is too much stress on gpus?

it is the only way for me to survive at this.  if we keep under the 18-20kwatts it is 'free' power

you guys have that vat markup    so 300 here is at least 350-375 by you!

Thanks Phil,
With summer heat coming and uncertainity about future mining, I think I will get rid of some GPUs as some people with better facilities than me seems still able to expand, considering current unavailabilities!
In Europe, you cannot find a brand new RX570 under $400 currently, and you have to be lucky. And used ones are at the same price. You US guys can actually get better deals with Ebay than us!

Do note that all of the algorithms the "mini" was ever able to mine are PART OF the X15 algorithm (all of the X-series algos "include" a specified number of different algos used in series in a specific order on the datastream - and the "higher number" ones are the same as the earlier ones with certain algos added).

Ditto the "mini" derived models like the Quads and the A900 and A2000.

I've always thought, based on relative hashrates for some of the algos, that they used an ASIC but allowed the controller access to "input" and "output" taps at the borders of each X15 component algo (or at least the ones that were used independently).

you must be enjoying now the advantage of having solar power hehe..... that's the way to go..

Maybe I will get you to pick some up for me.



As to how I run only nicehash and equihash.

 I have a lot of accounts like this:

It is 1 omen gamer pc  with 11 months on warranty  paid for with sales of some 1070tis.
So  even though it was 2325 - 195 in coupons net 2130  that 2130 is  rolled back from the 1070ti sales.  So it is roi already.  and

it now earns 122  a month  61 for me  and  30 for host after he pays for power.

This business model works  and is why I can sell gear on this site at really good prices over and over and over and over again.  As I am in sales  as much as I am in mining.  Or maybe more in sales then mining  Except for  Nov 2017 and Dec 2017 where mining  profits were huge

I think their earlier models were already FPGAs - I recall flashing older Minis to add algos and profit-switching using the supplied serial cable.

I have a few Minis with old v1.1 firmware version that only mine X11 when I got them (end-2016?) and after flashing them, they can mine X11, X13, X14, X15, Qubit, Quark algos, just like subsequent models like Quads and A900, A2000. The Giant series started the inclusion of the other funky algos we know today.

I rather get Baikals due to the multi-algo features VS Bitmain's ASIC single-algo miner = value for money.

FPGA is a good differentiator for Baikals - Baikal should stick to FPGA miners since they got well-known because of that.

The older Minis, Quads and A900s are still hard at work mining X13 - they consume very little power and we just left it alone doing its thing at one corner of the warehouse.

The Baikals have good quality parts and build and I have no issues getting help from tech support if needed. They even sent me spare Pi controllers, cables, etc.

Yeah but maybe they want to chase the forks  with firmware updates  as FPGA can be programed fairly easily .

This would prove interesting game to see how many forks kill the miner or does the miner hunt done and kill the coin.

Also I have 3 simple mining accounts 20 rigs among them

directed to 4 nicehash addresses.

there is no freaking way I can track all of that unless I do 1 coin.

the addresses  are for multiple people I have deals with.

I have many deals that the other person pays power and gets ½ the coins I provide the gear.

it works for both people   even with a 1080ti paying only 2 bucks a day.
2 in a rig = 4 bucks x 30 = 120   that is 60 usd each every month.  the owner me paid for a rig .

the power guy  pays about 10kwatts a day or 300 kwatts a month here in NJ  it is 30 in the winter and about 50 in the summer

so 7 months of 30 = 210 + 5 months of 50 = 250  power total is 460  but earning 60 x 12 = 720

so pay 460 in power and earn 720 in coin for the host.

me Pay 2k for the rig and earn 720 each year seems like a bad deal for me but with sales of rigs  and timing upgrades I make out.  As the 2k  gets spent 1 time and gear rotates with sale of it.

so 2 k can earn me 720 for 4 or 5 years.  and many days 1080ti's earned 6, 7, 8 ,9 even 10 dollars  which really make good money for me and the host.
