Anyone here mess with mining rig rental website?
Seems interesting but I haven’t touched it yet to see how it works

If I haven't shared this before, my entire ASICS farm management is based on MRR.

But..... I don't use it to rent my rigs at all... (ie. set it to OFFLINE/NOT AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL)

My main purpose of using MRR is global proxy nodes (instead of setting up a proxy server at ISP side).

In the MRR central dashboard, I can monitor total hash, pools management, charting etc.

Downside: I lose the monitoring of individual rigs at ISP side. I am testing "anselal/antminer-monitor" for the S9 farm, since I have Teamviewer & VPN access to my ASICs at Cryptoboreas, GND and another ISP in Asia Pacific. As for the Avalons A721/A821/A841, these miners behave themselves quite well. I have to babysit the S9s more often.

The L3+s, D3s and other ASICs (Pinidea, Baikal) are also managed by MRR proxy nodes.

The GPU farms, do not use MRR yet since its hosted in my own private warehouse - 15mins drive from my house, and I can directly manage it easily.

It interests me because you can rent and mine on down time

Also I’m still trying to figure out if ASICS are really worth the money

Have any of you guys heard what the various developers of Equihash based coins are planning to do in regard to the Bitmain Equihash Asic that's shipping in ~6-7 weeks? I read a rumor that BTG said they would fork, but I haven't heard anything (yet) from others.

It seems like most of the Zcash community wants to change algo to kill off ASICs just like Monero did, but Zooko and co is sitting on the fence.. they don't say either yes or no to ASICs yet.. well they kinda say yes by not saying NO.. the zcash community is pretty upset, a lot of people will abandon the coin if there's no algo change.

Ongoing discussion on the zcash forum an also on github:
https://forum.z.cash/t/let-s-talk-about-asic-mining
https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/Elections/pull/1

Yeah, i was wondering the same thing about most of the algo's that have ASICs either recently released or coming up. Why not just change the algo like XMR did? It really seems like there are many more GPU miners than ASIC, so why not do all you can to keep those people as happy as possible as long as possible? If other big coins did this then it should also have the benefit of slowing down the ASIC manufacturers.

You think that the prices of the equihash coins will go up after the coming of the asics?
I don't know if I should keep on mining rvn atm or try and mine a few zen and zec and keep holding them for a big price.

Hopefully something good will happen in the future for us the gpu miners. ATM I do not own any asic, only gpus

Hey everyone... regarding the ETH Pill... wondering if anyone could answer these questions:

I have a rig with 6x ASUS Strix Gaming A8G: 4x 1070ti & 2x 1080 (the latter with GDDR5X).

I want to use the pill for the 2 1080's but trying to figure out the process order exactly.

Do you start the miner and THEN run the ETHPILL exe? or run the pill first and then start miner?

Also, with this screw anything up with the 4x 1070ti's? on the same system?

Finally, is this a 1-time thing or does the pill need to be run every time you restart the miner or reboot?

I think I can answer half or less than your questions.

My understanding is the pill should be executed and then the mining software should be started.
My understanding is it should always be running. If you restart the OS, you need to start the pill and then start the mining software.

What rs1x said ^^ and you should be ok with other cards. I have a rig with 5x 1080ti and 3x 1060 and it works fine.

I've been starting mining first and then the pill. No problems yet.

The big attraction to the coin is not that it is anynonmous coin . The developers have touted this for more then a year. What that does is make the coin a target for law enforcement.

The big attraction to the coin was asics did not mine it and nvidia whales on it.

Zec could try killing any card under 10 gb.

This would make all cards die other then the 1080 ti. I think it would also kill asics. The developer could score if he did this since he would know only 1080 ti would be exclusive .

not even getting 1 to mess with phil?

Nope.

Here is why

5 t1s
2 2/3 s9s
11 l3+
1 a3
8 ltc usb sticks
1 Avalon 841
18 x 1080tis
Free power is 72 amps of 240 derate is done about 18 k watts

Summer power rates start in 28 days 18 cents

So 25 k watts of gear means 8 kwatt at 20 cents

That is about 38 a day over. Say 1200 a month over cap.

Raven needs to take off to save me.

with the 3 major GPU algos now ASIC-ed..... the last bastion probably X16R/S -- Raven, Pigeon, etc.

yup im all in on lux and raven, i dont think asics are on priil yet

Also had everything on Lux / Raven for a while now.
Fingers crossed.

switched hald machines from lux back to raven, i cam mine 1500 a day now Il sell some
daily and buy lux

Well it hasn't taken off but it did finally get another nice bump in price, alongisde BTC so that was nice. I finally sold a little to cover my electricity for the last month and cover the next couple of weeks. I don't think there will be any massive surge for a few months anyways, the devs are moving slow and steady without a rush to pump the price.

If I remember you hit your second sell ceiling? unless you changed them up.

I mined 5200 and 6600

the 5200 coins were hodl

most of the 6600 I sold from 00000450 to 00000620

So all the sales paid for power and the 5200 are my fingers crossed they just sit in a rvn wallet.

I got lucky with some gear sales sold gear at an okay price when coins were 8000 usd. coins are now 9700 so my 4000 in sales = 4850 not bad.

I pulled the trigger on one with a 200 coupon

you gotta think too, these are "mini" what is the regular version going to be

Yeah I think I will pass.

Concentrate my money elsewhere for now.

I will also pass.
I sold a lot of gear.
I will hold the 18x 1080ti's.
I have left and see how it shakes out.

My 10 L3+ look better now then last week.

I have to sell my A3s and S9s , but Im still passing, ill just buy some vegas mine lux or xmr, I think vegas are the best move now, more powerful than rx , decent at every algo and power efficent with softplay tables and far cheaper than 1080ti which are soon to be obsolete anywyas

1080ti need equiforks or big time rvn jump
