@LoneRangir  keep plugging away at it.


I finally got a working Eliovp os on a one card test miner to work.  yeah

it is a rx 460

I will let it run for a day then add some more gear.

I am also getting  one more biostar z170 on thursday  it is an rma repair  this will allow a tad more expansion of gpus.

I have a question for the linux guys....

I installed CentOS on a computer with a Z87 intel chipset.  Can I take that hard drive and plug it into an AMD motherboard and expect it to work?  Am I better off reinstalling from scratch?  Is there a third way to do this?

I've heard it will work, but figured I'd run it past the people here.

well if you only have the linux hdd hooked up and keep the older os disconnected it should work.

my simplemining sticks and m2 ssd's work on every single intel board  gens 4,5,6,7  they are linux.


I ended up reinstalling linux from scratch.  5 GPUs works fine on this GA-990FXA-UD7 board, but once I put in the 6th GPU, the OS will not load.  I don't get past the bootloader.  The board bios is very basic, I don't seem to see any option to select the PCIe speed.  Is there an OS setting to allow 6 or more GPUs?  I'm using CentOS 7.3.

Yeah  took a while  but it did get it to load.

I still have issues on the website.  It is far more complex then simple mining's site.

I just have OS  no  roms.

I will try to run three  rigs  1 panda miner 2 biostar rx 470 rigs.

I took the pandaminer off Eliovp's site and went back to simplemining .

Tomorrow I will clone the working os  and run 2 other rigs.  As I have up to 10 on my license .

Looks to be a better website but a lot to learn.

test rig is mining for Eliovp  don't seem to be able to switch it to my pool choice.  Tired will get back to it on Sunday



should be mining here

I am getting old sucks. I unpacked the .rar

I now have a disk partition LDWosPhilip-00-00

I have a 3.0 usb that will boot into macrium

I am going to boot with the 3.0 usb and attempt to get it to load that disk partiton


No  NO  NO    getting old is great.  I bet you got it to work!

@ citronick  

 how did you install  your   pandaminer os

I made a macrium reflect usb 3.0 on a windows 10 pc

it boots  but I can not seem to get the  pandaminer os onto it.

any help is welcome.  I have a file from him on a down load  LDWosPhilip.rar   I do not seem to be able to image it or open it to get it on the stick I made with macrium

after you create the macrium USB.

unrar the LDWosPhilip.rar into the USB (you can unrar the file into the root of the USB)

The rar file once unrar-ed is actually a 1GB partition file (that you will need to restore later)

Once you get the Panda boot up from USB Macrium.... at the windows lite system... select restore partition from macrium menu (in normal case this would be a backup windows system you created together with the macrium usb)

... so instead of restoring a windows 10 backup, you select the 1gb file you unrar-ed previously.

That will restore a linux system into the internal msata target.... once done... take out USB and reboot.

Eliovp's Linux will startup and ask if the system is a Pandaminer, select yes...

Then it will flash the 480m roms into Eliovp's highly sought after custom rom -- all done one-by-one automatically for each GPU.

Once done, reboot from Eliovp's linux menu .. and thats it.

Eliovp's system is a bit different from Tytanick, so you need to explore the many features like grouping, OC settings etc.

okay  lets  go slower.

I built the usb stick on a windows 10 machine that is not the pandaminer.



  so  lets say I un.rar the file into the usb stick on a different win 10 machine.

walk the stick to the pandaminer   and boot   am I efff'd  because I did not do the build on the pandaminer?

I have a linux os in the pandaminer from simple mining on the msata.  I could put a blank msata in there.

I will get back in a bit.

building the macrium USB on a different Windows machine is fine - its suppose to be like that.

the macrium usb stick is suppose to be the emergency backup / restore when something goes wrong on Windows.

Eliovp is just using the macrium method to put his own partition (ie Eliovp's mining program on Linux).

Yea, save your smOS msata, and put a blank msata before you do the restore.

16 = green
15 = black

should work





thanks Phil.

Using the pin hole not used as the marker, the pins 15 and 16 should be the correct ones.



I should really get a proper jump kit for this but for now the quick and dirty way will sufficient for testing purposes.

NOTE: working great, tested with a fan

Phil,

Can you refresh my memory on which pin on the power cable to poke the paperclip to auto power a EVGA-G2-1300.

Googled it but I dont see examples for 48 24pin bracket like what the EVGA uses.

I am tempted to poke the 4th and 5th pins but just wanted to get expert advise before doing it.

Thanks

I will take a look.

Overclock.net has the pinout for the evga 1000 g2. Which is the same as the evga 1300 g2

I am on my iPad which sucks for posting the exact link

EVGA uses all black wires and its hard to see which one is the green one.

For the ones who continue mining BTC :
I would like to ask what pools are you now all using ? as Kano is difficult to handle currently..




I could send some hasrate to ethpool , never tested so far.
What is the minimum hashrate you recommand with them ?

500 mh

Maybe 750 mh


You hit an entire block. So you have to wait a while to get one.

I hit about six big block/uncles like 8 or 9 coins vs 5.

Thx I'm giving a try !

How long do you generally wait for a block with your hashrate ?
Not sure to understand your last sentence. With the big blocks you hit, did the average profit went higher than expected in the long term ?
yes i hit more big blocks then luck called for this i did better then standard


i was cashing in every 2 to 3 days with 800 to 1000mh  i think diff is higher now

After realizing I still had a couple of H81 Pro BTC boards and a couple of aluminum frames I built but never used from a couple of years ago, I decided to put a GPU rig together to play with.  Bought 6 MSI RX470 Gaming cards and got it all together today.  Spent most of the day updating to Windows 10 and am now trying to get the drivers setup for the cards.  I remember seeing several posts on here to not use the latest Radeon drivers but now don't see it.  What version is recommended for those cards?  Will most likely just use the Claymore GPU miner to start.  I may try SimpleMining once I get a USB drive to put it on.
