3080/3080ti release next month hehe
frankly i have been really tied up this year with a ton of real world 🌍 problems.
literally started on new years eve. wife and i got sick maybe covid-19 maybe not.
she turned into double pneumonia and is still struggling with lung damage and an endless post nasal drip.
Wife has just done some xrays a cat scan and sputum tests.
the good is no active infections. some lung scarring but good oxidation into blood.
next step is new treatments for her post nasal drip.
Damn, sorry to hear that, wishing you guys the best.
Stay safe
Thank you we see the next doctor Aug 24.
I need to keep her isolated as she is now higher risk for getting sick.
So I am doing real world shit quite a bit.
Along with crypto-coins.
It has been a long haul for me this year.
Back on topic
I have one board xmr rig acting up not sure why.
But it just shuts down after an hour of mining.
I need to look at it more closely.
I suspect it is a bit toasted from the storm last week.
I will look to see what bios it is on and maybe flash a newer one.
My gpus/cpus are earning 1500 a month before power
My asics are earning 2600 a month before power
my net is 400 gpu/cpu
my net is 700 asics
just hoping for a nice long 6 month run.
with the numbers rising.

@ citronick nice numbers.
@ marvell2
smos has become better as time goes on.
they have nice clocking on the fly. rebooting and advanced features.
i am impressed my gear keeps working.
this past weekend i had to replace some zotac fans on a 1080ti
it is back up and doing well.

Get well soon to your wife Phil.
I still have 1070ti GPUs to revive and dust off from the storeroom.
I have given up on 470s and 1060/P106-100.... on ETH its off by 10-20% of their usual peak hash rates - the DAGs have pretty much maxed on the 470/4gb and barely on the 1060/p106 with 6GB. Their power consumption vs hash, has not been profitable after electricity expenses.... maybe put them to work for BEAM or KAWPOW or ETH/TeamRedMiner (RX470/480) to overcome the 4gb barrier...
There very old cards like 390s and Fury Minis, retired long time ago, dont know what mining there will be good for. Too bad because the 390s have 8gb and HBM memory, and 4gb HBM for the Fury
take a look at beam III for fury they can do ~20 sols 390s are not that far ~17 sols..390s might be better at ethash.

the problem with smos is you habe to premod your cards, you can’t use claymore straps
That particular issue is not a problem for me since I already BIOS-modded-strapped all of my RX 470's.
However, I was just about to download the SMOS image and flash to my USB stick when i read on their site that this does not currently support Wi-Fi?!?! Is that correct?
That will be a problem for me as all my rigs are wi-fi based and spread throughout my house to spread the heat out.
then do just 1 rig with it.
I recently got all my remaining vegas 64 and 56 up and running - 47mhs at 110watts with the recommended memtweaks using TRM miner...
about wifi, dev say soon its in the works otherwise the ethernet over powerplug solution will work too.

Wow Phil, really sorry to hear about those health issues, especially with your wife. I wish you and her the best for recovery and to stay safe and healthy! These are certainly different times where priorities are completely different vs even 6 months ago for most people. I'm glad for this crypto rebound and hope that it holds as (aside from the financial benefit), it has been a nice distraction from a some really bad things going on in the world.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback on the XMR CPU mining. I don't think its a legit option for me as I really only have 1 higher end CPU (on my main PC, not a miner). Most of the rest of Intel G3000 series, which i don't think will do much on XMR.

Hey Phil... did I see you mention recently that you are still mining XMR? If so, can I assume you are doing so with CPUs not GPUs? Mining calculators indicate GPU-mining of XMR at a loss, even given it's recent price increase so I assume you are using other methods. If using CPUs, would you mind sharing which you are using and their results?
i have two thread rippers
3960x. does 22-24k
3970x. does 27-29k
i have four amd 9 3900x. they do 11k each.
the six rigs all have two gpus. some 5500xt some 5700xt some 1660 some 1660ti a 1080ti
these all mine xmr and eth at nicehash and i convert to btc.
they dont make much money as they are in my home. power is high, but in the winter they will heat the house and power is cheaper. I also can sell a rig or two down the road.

then the storm less week
I am having trouble keeping up with crypto and real world shit.
but at least gear is making money 💵😀!

- Then after install, so I need to keep that USB plugged in or is there some way port SMOS over to the SSD on that rig?
I ususally install smos on the ssd's instead of USB sticks - I use an ssd to usb adapter and plug them in like a normal usb drive - use rufus to write the os to themQuote
Specifically for a rig with only 4GB GPUs where i cannot as of yet switch the main display to Internal Graphics:
- Will SMOS still work to mine ETH if my primary display is still plugged into the 4GB GPU-0 in the x16 slot?
Absolutely. You can run the system headless, smOS is built for headless miners and unified dashboard control so you just need to use a pc/laptop/phone to login to the account from a browser, and you can control all of your miners from there.- Will SMOS still work to mine ETH if my primary display is still plugged into the 4GB GPU-0 in the x16 slot?
Quote
Finally, is it true that no separate driver or miner software is needed outside of SMOS? If not, does that mean that all of these are already loaded in that OS?
No, smOS has drivers built in but will download whatever miner you select from the dashboard-configuration at runtime - having all miners pre-added would make the file too large for 8gb usb sticks. But its not something you need to "do", all you need to do is select the miner from a dropdown on the configuration screen (unified dashboard), add in pool wallet etc and smOS will download the miner, apply the config/settings and run it.Thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it! Regarding my concern about SMOS no being wi-fi capable... I logged onto their Discord yesterday and a couple regulars there were quite helpful in suggesting use of a PowerLine Ethernet Adapter, so I ordered 1 and will try it out over the next few days. I hope I can get that option to work as I was very eager to try this out and salvage that rig.

Thanks Phil for the SMOS recommendation to circumvent my display/driver issues on my 470-4GB rigs. I am at the point now where I am going to give SMOS a try, as I have fought even my other ASRock MB rig with insane driver issues and finally ended up with Win-10 getting corrupted beyond repair yesterday.
However, I do have a few questions for you or anyone else running SMOS, especially with 4-GB GPUs very recently...
General Usage/Install: do i have this correct for using SMOS?
- Download SMOS to USB Stick
- Plug into USB MB slot on rig
- Enter BIOS and switch boot order to USB priority 1
- Reboot and then SMOS installs/loads?
- Then after install, so I need to keep that USB plugged in or is there some way port SMOS over to the SSD on that rig?
Specifically for a rig with only 4GB GPUs where i cannot as of yet switch the main display to Internal Graphics:
- Will SMOS still work to mine ETH if my primary display is still plugged into the 4GB GPU-0 in the x16 slot?

You can set up 1 rig for 1 month for free. I will help you set up an eth bat
once you load the usb stick you need to open it and put in your email you control.
you need to set bios to allow booting to be the usb stick.
you boot the stick you keep the stick in 24/7/365 it acts as the hard drive. the regular hard drive stands idle.

the stick above is good and big enough it also stays out of the way when it is plugged in.

I remember philipma1957 theory back then that nvidia or amd can pump gpu mineable coin/s to be able to make a killing selling the upcoming-just at the corner release of new cards.
will it happen? 2017 shows it is profitable for them. just look how shitty grin is and the marketcap is small hehe

A few months ago, I shutdown my modest 40 rigs GPU farm and I invested in "a couple" FPGAs (Blackminer).
I maintained some of my 1080tis to mine on mostly speculative coins.... but ended up using the FPGA platform to mine new coins like TRB, KDA, AEON, PMEER to name a few. These past weeks, I have seen a single F1-Ultra making 12$ after power cost at today's TRB spot price.
Since last week, I have been dusting the rest of my 1080tis to mine ETH/Nicehash.... all 13 of them brings me around 20$-24$ per day but electricty will still take a bulk of the takings.
Moving forward, unlike 2017... Looks like I have to use them FPGAs because a single FPGA can replace dozens of GPUs, consuming only a fraction of power bill. Some other coins that I am mining.... like Nimiq, Verus is currently best on GPU, CPU POW respectively.
I have not bought any new GPUs and I am not sure I will ever will because when a new promising coin comes about, I will just load up the bitstream image on the FPGA and mine you go.
I guess the miners journey from GPUs to CPUs to ASICs to FPGAs: to learn, adapt and keep up to speed on the various mining strategies and their communities like Phil's thread.
Great mining everyone.... everything is green at the moment...... good luck to us all!
you learn and adapt, then the coins learn and adapt, then the market learn and adapt. it is a shit show LOL
just be good at each of us do best
time is also a factor, circumstances and opportunities differ, some make more by trading and they don't care an ounce of shit about mining.
Haven't posted here in a long time. I've been mining non-stop since 2017 and for the last year plus, just with my GPUs (55 total, mostly 1080Ti's) and with my 50Kw of solar, that is covering my power cost 100%.
Phil all those GPUs you sold me way back when are all still going strong!
how does 50kw cover 55 gpus ? 10kw won’t even cover one rig 24/7 or do u only mine during the day?Phil all those GPUs you sold me way back when are all still going strong!
207 panels in total with an average rating of about 270 watts. So total DC power is actually a little over 55,000 watts.
The GPU rigs consume about 9 kW 24/7. I then have some exhaust fans running as well, so the actual daily power consumption is around 215 kWh. For the month of July, my average daily production was 237 kWh, so a little but more than what my rigs consumed. On cool and clear spring and fall days, I peak out at around 350 kWh of production per day.
During the winter months I of course produce less. January of this year averaged 128 kWh a day, so not quite enough to power the mining rigs. However, I keep the rigs up at the house during the winter, so I don't need to run my heat pump at all, is it balances out.
I have net metering with the power company, so on sunny days I pump way more kWh back into the grid that I consume, and I then pull it back out at night or on rainy days. It is all kWh based, so no funny business with me paying them like 12 cents per kWh to draw from the grid and they only payment me a fraction of that when I push power into the grid. Around my parts, the cost per kWh is constant 24/7 365 days a year.
