Topic: My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos. - page 3. (Read 148015 times)

I think one of my prized possession the ultra dependable EVGA-1600-G2 is showing the symptoms of death...

After slightly more than 1 year of non-stop 24x7 mining, had to reboot this PSU yesterday... started the rig and a second later, stops... and comes back alive again, then stops repeatedly.

I had to shutdown the whole rig (6 x R9-Nano powered risers, Asrock H81 BTC, 8gb, 120ssd, smOS) - unplugged power cord/point and left it over night.

Today... no luck. Same thing.... starts-stop-starts-stop-repeatedly. Power supply and cabling should be OK since it was working for so long.

Anyone had this experience before?

I hope the remedy is just changing the power cord or re-seat the RAM of something... otherwise this will be my first RMA out of the 9 units that I have in the farm.

The other rigs uses EVGAs 1300w-G2 and 1000w-G2.

I have two MSI 470s 4GB.  Have you looked into what a custom ROM will run?  I may be interested in defraying the cost, as I'm sure others would, too.  This is a popular card.

Good point guys !

The stats is wrong ;-)

134 MH not 182.

sorry 

that doesnt look right

182mh with 5 GPUs ?

do another build phill

Yes just go https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate grab the linux binary's and build it for your system.

is there a Gateless-Gate for Linux?

I have been trying to find a solution for XMR@NH under Linux -- but NH team and sgminer forum threads are not much help.

Ok so I just switched to nicehash for XMR.

Gateless-gate miner works great for this, but like with sgminer-gm you must tune setting to get it rocking.  I use same exact settings as in sgminer-gm.

under sgminer-gm I got 100% rejected shares, gateless-gate solved this.

I think nicehash for XMR will be the best solution, mining the coin directly gets screwy at times when pools suddenly struggle to find blocks.  I use 20% less watts mining monero than eth so this is more profitable for me than eth, also less stress on gpu.

I am running the pandaminer on eth  230mh  and another rig 90mh  total of 320mh

I am running 14000h on xmr

Same here - on ETH for last two month. Mining directly to Polo wallet and selling right after getting 1 ETH.

Unfortunately, Claymore's XMR miner does not work with my 6x RX 480 8Gb Nitro+. No idea why - but it does not.
ZEC is less profitable.

So decided to stick with ETH

I still mine ETH.

My new 2.0 H81 Pro BTC board finally manage to gave me some stability with 5 cards.

It's a mix of 4 470 and 1 480.

The 480 is running at the same spec as the 470.

getting 182 MH.

I just regret to have sold my 15 coins @0.01125 and not right now

yup, direct BTC with all the tx fees being charged here and there, ie. Poloniex tx. fees, conversion fee... etc. -- NH charges slightly higher tx fee but I think it will even out

BTC upfront from NH is pure PPS, paid up to 4 times a day (every 6 hours) and they take the risk by paying us first.

My group's X11 farm is going berserk now with miners renting +600% above PPS -- it has been a good week.

I mine eth still
I stay nicehash mostly due to it's almost number 2-3 on most profitable on whattomine.com
Payments come on time and I think I'm only losing maybe 1-2$ a week doing nicehash
I like the direct pay in bitcoin
I've made money doing direct pay with the decreasing and increasing of btc price 

I'm ETH all the way.  For various reasons, I've never switched to any other alts.  I guess I'm not a profit chaser. To be fair, I do convert half my ETH earnings to BTC, though. I feel like BTC (gold) and ETH (silver) are worth holding long term, and that the various other alts are going to ebb and flow.  I am not into 'timing the market'.  Once ZEC crashed, and I could no longer tell when was the right time to switch,  I have been just mining what I understand.

This is in direct contradiction to my insistence on getting a 6 card rig up and running, while all my 4 card rigs "just work"  .... I'm pulling the plug on the 6 cards, me thinks....

Btw, anyone mining ETH still?

I am thinking of switching to ETH at form of low intensity mode.

Tying out -ttli switch to auto mine at low intensity once a target temps is reached.

Anyone has tried this before?

6 of my rigs are on Biostar Z170. No bloody risers. Like Phil's - it just runs.

Since setting it up -- rarely touched it because it doesn't give me any issues.

Now with smOS thumbdrives... it just sits at one corner mining its own business.

I gotto to get those cheap msatas, Phil bought for a song, to replace the thumbdrives soon.

All my four card biostar z170 just run. No issues.


But xmr is doing something crooked across all pools not sure what it is.

It locked up about 5 minutes after I left the house.  I can only conclude that 1000W on a 1200W PSU is too much, or either 6 cards is just cursed !

I removed one card and am now pulling ~850W.  We'll see how this goes...

I have tried all known Cryotonight/XMR pool -- and there is indeed funky things happening even at Nanopool and Dwarfpool.

Converting XMR collected back to BTC doesn't tally with my estimates.

With BTC moving up strongly, we are losing serious BTC because we waste our hard earned GPUs to pools inefficiency, increased difficulty, and other funky stuff the way XMR pools does their "calculations" I couldn't explain.

I have been doing some comparisons and at this point - IMHO, we will earn more selling hash to Nicehash Cryptonight market.

If you are interested only in getting BTC back for XMR; gut feel after miner fees and pool fees, it will even out at Nicehash.
Bottom line is we get BTC upfront for every shares sold at Nicehash.

If you want to mine and keep XMR then Nicehash is not for you.

I havent got a Linux miner that works with Nicehash (stratum+tcp://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355) -- the sgminer-gm-v5.5.5-4 was suppose to fix the cryptonight issues but still high rejects happens.

In Windows, Claymore's and other miners are doing fine at Nicehash.

All my rigs are on Linux with smOS and thats a bummer -- but I am getting the Pandaminer on Windows again, to start selling hash to NH, and will monitor it from there.

Anyone currently selling cryptonight at Nicehash?
