 * LARGE PAGE SUPPORT
 * Large pages need a properly set up OS. It can be difficult if you are not used to systems administation,
 * but the performace results are worth the trouble - you will get around 20% boost. Slow memory mode is
 * meant as a backup, you won't get stellar results there. If you are running into trouble, especially
 * on Windows, please read the common issues in the README.
 *
 * By default we will try to allocate large pages. This means you need to "Run As Administrator" on Windows.
 * You need to edit your system's group policies to enable locking large pages. Here are the steps from MSDN
 *
 * 1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
 * 2. On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
 * 3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
 * 4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
 * 5. The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
 * 6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
 * 7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
 * 8. In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account that you will run the miner on
 * 9. Reboot for change to take effect.
 *
 * Windows also tends to fragment memory a lot. If you are running on a system with 4-8GB of RAM you might need
 * to switch off all the auto-start applications and reboot to have a large enough chunk of contiguous memory. ..."

not sure if nicehash does it in configuration  I get 1095 hash with the 3900x   some claim hash as high as 1300

randomx will be over 11000

You can use external wallet also on the new nicehash. I'm using the same BTC mining address just changed the stratum server to eu-new.nicehash.com:[port]

"KYC is to prevent laundering" .... hmmmm...... but banks do it all the time, seems unfair no?

Damn this must be a nightmare 

My new cellphone account for bitcointalk is Philipma1957cellphone

.6 x 12 = 7.2 watts say 8. 8 x 6 is 48 watts.

Those  molex   If wired correctly have 1 ground and 1

12 volt  wire.  If it is an 18 gauge wire it can provide about 75 watts x .8 = 60 watts.

So you should be able to use 1 molex. Cable

I would put three on two separate cables.

100% this, especially the non-kyc exchange(s) for all of the altcoins.  I also use gemini but like Marvell, just to buy-in, hold some assets, and (rarely) cash out.  Their fees are higher but they seem like the most professional exchange and you never heard about customer service nightmares.   Ultimately the IRS cannot trace all earnings from mining and trading.  I think the simplest practice is using a singular exchange for nothing but fiat trading, then the reporting becomes quite simple.

You don't need to have kyc info for a private sale, regardless of what currency you accept.  No different than selling a car, boat, tools, etc.  KYC is to prevent money laundering

3 seems reasonable;  thst's still well under 200w....  should be fine IMHO.

Ok, they're Scythe UltraKaze fans, 0.6A @ 12V.
Got 6 of'em to hook up, think I should use two molex connectors or will it be ok to daisy chain them all on one?

Ditto

Yes, ive daisy chained exactly 3 fans on several occassions on one molex, work perfectly fine, most case fans draw less than 1A anyways.

You can't tell until you do it. Depends on wiring of fan to molex and psu design

Guys, quick one please:
I'm hooking up a few case fans to a rig, and they've got molex extenders.
Can I just daisy chain, say, 3 of them and power them with one single molex power cable from the PSU? Will all 3 fans run at full speed?

Nicehash version 0.23. Stock settings on the cpu I think I need to go into windows and alter cache allocation. Been a while since I setup the cpus to mine xmr.  The threadripper 1920x is about 950 to 1015 hash on same software while this is about 1075 to 1115 hash this uses less power than  the threadripper.

What miner app are you using out of curiosity?

With  no tweaking or turning it does  1090-1125 for xmr    running at 67%


this is it with 2 1660ti


https://old.nicehash.com/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje

I have been busy have not tested it much the last day.


But  It is a  better then the threadripper 1920x


It uses 2.4 kwatts a day to earn 45 cents.

while that seems poor it is turning a profit of 21cents  I think  the new fork will help that alot.

That 3900x is a beauty (on paper anyway).  I have a feeling it's going to be rather popular once Monero finishes their fork to RandomX.

What really is hurtful is the sales I sold so much gear at good prices. My business model included the sales.

To insure low risk I did lots and lots of low profit sales of gear.

Simply can’t do business this way with current rules of reporting.

Just setup a ryzen 9 3900x rig

I hope I still control that address in a wallet somewhere.  Its never going to find a block, but it runs.  FOR SCIENCE
edit: its on ckpool but its more fun to have it on your own node

All that’s true but I would rather pay it on my Own rather than have coinbase automatically sending my stuff out willy nilly to the irs , I pay my taxes based on my own calculations,  plus the bank wound never send shit to the irs unless you are pushing 10k per transaction which  is stupid if you are lol

Yes but you should always just pay any taxes earned on income such as mining or capital gains such as trading. They might not send any statements to IRS right now since you are below $20K threshold but all your account history will be permantently there.

So in the future if the IRS sends Gemini an inquiry for any previous tax years even though you are under the $20K threshold they might still send your records. Also another issue is that your bank will see you are getting funds from Gemini and your bank will also have to provide that info to the IRS if they ask how much money was received from crypto exchanges.

The entire thing is a real big headache and its just better to pay the taxes than try and hide income.
