Topic: My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos. - page 47. (Read 147923 times)

I think ZEC is kind off settling at "market" price now and with plus points of power savings and heat reduction, plus Claymore's v8 miner, IMHO edging ETH.

I hope ZEC can stay at this price levels for long term.

I have enough points for 5 more x Z170s, my next expansion will be RX470 x 4 per rig.

I am still mulling over RX480 or RX470 or get more Nanos (price is expensive for this card  ) ..... any feedback?

I  am at 4kh and I am doing about .4 zec a day. 

I am waiting on parts I will expand to 5 or 6kh

I use awesome miner to monitor my rigs and it gives prices of how much I would make a day in mining such coin
And nicehash pays out right now 1$ under what I would be getting if I sent it to an exchange. at an exchange I have a selling fee plus a sending fee so it's kinda tit for tat
I use claymore to mine on nicehash. I do both zec and eth evenly.
Most of the time profit wise it beats out mining at a pool then some days it doesn't
I like the direct payments in btc.

Dwarf is late to the game.

They need to have enough users to get many blocks per day/hour etc.

When I tried it the other day, they got only 2 blocks in 24 hours.... hope that they are getting more now.

Anyways, I decided to stick to Flypool because the payment to Polo is very fast.

I am currently 27 kH/s, spread over 25 rigs / 125 x GPUs, 0.5 ZEC every 5 hours like clock work.

The diff level going higher will mean that 5 hours will probably be 6 or 7 hours soon.... 

Based on convenience I found that flypool is the best option for me.

Tried suprnova before - was not satisfied

I really doubt how fair they are in payment. but I guess I can sacrifice 5-10% for convenience of waiting .. converting on exchange etc which usually takes ages and we missing the 5-10% margin anyway. I used NH when ZEC was high and was constantly lowering each second. Now I use ZEC mining proper directly to exchange wallet . wait for ZEC to go up and then dump it. Seems like ZEC has found its temporary sweet spot around 0.07 to 0.10 so I will have 20% max loss while trading possible pump bringin g it to profitable price.

Here is my bat file:

Zcash Only Dwarfpool

SETX GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
SETX GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
SETX GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
SETX GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
SETX GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Link?

I am going to set one of my rigs to Dwarfpool to see how it works.  Seems to have a more accurate hashrate than Flypool.

Zcash Pool started on 27th Nov.
0% fee first week until end of 4th.Dec

Mine On

  I am purely chasing a handsome profit when ETH goes up a few points.

Its been a long time since I have seen ETH at this price level, so like Philip said... buy and hold game will be a nice strategy.

I am still mining Zcash and xfering it immediately into BTC.  It will be a while for ETH to recover all of the successful Hacker Attacks....who would want to put some information into a system that can be hacked successfully every few weeks.  This has a lot of conflict for me, especially on the longevity.  On the other hand, as a miner, I will mine it if it is more profitable than the other spectrum of coins because I can change to another coin within hours.

I dumped my DASH stash and bought ETH just awhile ago -- seldom see this price point and the volume is also increasing.

Buy and hodl

I think I will get 25 coins today.

Do you guys know what happened to ETH price ?
It is quite low ..

The power supply may be weak  but the rest looks very good.

I build my own pc's  but that hp.com is a good deal for a person that does not build gear.

Planning a new build.

this is a specialty build  It will use under 200 watts and pull 290-320 h

All parts will be in by end of the week.

I have ram so it is free.

I have os windows 7 so it is free.


I know I can get rx 470's  at 160 = 640   and do more then 600h ,

 but I am shooting for a low power quiet build.  More for fun then profit.

I am build 2 more rx 470 rigs  

I will be at 33 gpus.

8   4 card rigs and 1   1 card rig


oh here is an hp.com cyber monday special.  this is a nice pc for a good price for those that want a name brand.

Yeah  truth to this.  Also  I have found if I load the circuit near 24amps  which is my safe max  my volts start to drop.

I have a hot 220 and a hot 110 in my home.

I run 242 and 121  on lite loads  most of the year.

In the summer there is some sag  maybe  239 and 119.

Of course if I load the house up with miners I do get sag of 1 or 2 volts.

Oh I will be getting this usb riser as a free test demo

His pcie cables are good so I will test these.

make sure you measure the voltage too to be accurate (don't assume 220 is constant), voltage varies depending on the load from your power distribution transformer etc.

example:
2.75A x 220V = 605 watts
2.75A x 215V = 591.25 watts

there is 13.75 watts difference, when power distribution is loaded sometimes voltage drops a few numbers, so measuring volts gives you a bit of accuracy.

anyway, when voltage drops the current tends to increase so the total wattage (power consumption) stays the same, in real world scenario if..

2.75A x 220V = 605 watts

and when voltage drops, this will happen. this will be the reading

2.8139A x 215V = 605 watts

My 6 X R9 Nano can do 1676H/s at 1000W (under voltaged). That is about 5.97J/H.

So the RX series is very efficient.

THanks you two

I looked up clamp meters, i don't have one and ordered a cheap one for 29 $

My PDU only shows two digests and if I go by what your saying that rig is about right or around 500 watts and does use less power on a 220 .

I gonna keep it plugged in that line and save some power, i think.


cya top .
