All of my rigs running Nicehash show offline in the dashboard for each PC and the online web monitor shows nothing connected, yet the miners see to be connected an running, anyone else running Nicehash?

Started at 11:14 Eastern time

Says "not connected to NHWMS, Check your internet connection".

Yes I am seeing this. Restarted 1 rig didn't help. I am seeing my unpaid balance go up by what I expect so gonna sleep and not worry about it.

Online Nicehash says all of my rigs are disconnected, looks like my wallet address in Nicehash/Phoenixminer have been changed to something else.

Malwarebytes showing nothing.

What does your online console say, still mining to your wallet?

I ordered a second asus strix card on the bay from newegg. They are low power I can squeeze them in on rigs I have.

5500xt
These are the most easy to find GPUs, and near MSRP prices here

How much can you squeeze of this GPU?
I only see people talking about wattage of miners, but I like your posts because you always post the power on the wall, it's very helpful and precise
The price of the 8Gb models of Powercolor are 270 USD

smos will say 60watt and 27mh. more like 85 watts real.

i'm kind of torn between two worlds. On one hand i like the mining profits, but on the other hand, my defi investments are "stuck". While i don't need to access them at this moment, i can't add to it.

Is anyone else worried about eip-1559 coming soonish? I have a feeling the recent spike in gas fees is going to be the straw that finally breaks the camels back, and eip-1559 is going to be fast tracked

Well these profits on eth mining are really really really good. 162% block payment on viabtc.

They can not be sustained for 2 years or even 1 year.

But I think they can stick around for the winter.

Say March or April.

both of these cards will sell out.

I got second card with 2 100 dollar ebay gift cards cost 190 so a 10 buck discount. I have six months to pay on these. two cards.

they will do 55th or 4.11 a day they cost 600 with zero discounts . I paid 531 with my discounts. I have six months to pay zero interest.

So 531/4.11 = 129 days for pay off.

Well with eth over 1000 and paying over 162% due to fees. It is like it is at an all-time high price for miners

.https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

is near or at an all time high of 306 th

But think about this. we are getting 7.48 cents a mh. all 6gb cards make money

So cards are not coming down in price.

I have a thread on the idea of nVida and or amd custom mobos

this idea below could be practical

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-was-thinking-about-gpu-shortages-and-have-a-theory-5305242

I am thinking we are not going to see cards for a longtime

and that asics are being built big time to mine eth

I do think we will be solid on earning for 60-90 days then asics will start to affect earnings.

innosilicon and bitmain must be mining eth like mad as I type.

At the moment I can find some rx 570 cards from Best Buy

I just found this on ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-AMD-Radeon-RX-5500-XT-Overclocked-8G-GDDR6-HDMI-DisplayPort-Gamin/303464263268?

I had 47 in ebucks

so it was just tolerable.

I purchased a 100 ebay gift card for 95 on six months interest free.
I paid remainder with PayPal Credit six months interest free

So this nets to about 230-235 with six months to pay.

Limit is six cards. so it will sell out

Looks like tariffs have now hit gpu prices. Zotac, Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI all raised prices $30-$150 from what I can see. Not sure on EVGA. Hoping they assemble either in the US or Taiwan and don't have to raise prices. Should be in line for a xc3 gaming 3080 from their que soon.

I picked up a Gigabyte Vision 3080 at a Microcenter while visiting family. Gonna be adding it on Wed. I really don't want to void the warranty and replace the thermal pads.

It does match the rig I am putting it in. Moving a 5700xt and a 5700 out to an open air rig. I think I could add 2 fans on the bottom that I removed when I added the 5700. Hoping I don't lose to much in throttling.

If I can grab a 3060ti or 3070 I have a rig with a 1660 ti and a 1060 6gb that I will sell to offset some of the upgrade cost.

I saw some news about TSMC ending discounts to largest customers and raising some prices due to offer-demand and their production is at 100%, add this to the world situation of Covid, shippings are more expensive, people are buying a lot of hardware to work from home, mining is hot again and soon we'll see higher prices on almost every piece of hardware

Asus already said here about the increase of MSRP: https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-officially-increases-graphics-cards-and-motherboards-pricing

So, it's better to buy right now because it looks like this year will be very expensive to buy hardware and gadgets

Nvidia will launch 3060 6gb - 12gb, and 3080 super - ti, imagine the price os these cards Angry

I Think 61w i really low wattage, maybe give little more power and run the card with 1130/1950, most RX470 card can run 27-30Mh/s.
You havent edited straps?

Quote

Bios had 1625 straps copied up (I found a copy of the bios from 2017 labeled 'lazy 470', I seem to remember having problems with these).

I reflashed with 1500 up, and then reinstalled adrenaline 20.4.2.

I can now run for hours with mem clock at 1849 and no GPU errors (only at 26.2 mh), but if I set to 1850, the card dies.

Powerplay BIOS table shows max mem clock at 2100

Card and memory type? and you can also share the strap?

Its an MSI armor 470 8gb (hynix)
This strap in 1500 up

999000000000000022339D00CE516A3E80551212B40B450A004AE400750314204A8900A00200712 4150F2A30A4283516

So memory type H5GQ8H24MJR (SK Hynix)
Maybe try these

Code:

1500 : 999000000000000022339D00CE516A3E80551212B40B450A004AE400750314204A8900A002007124150F2A30A4283516
1625 : 999000000000000022449D00105A7B4480551312B88C250B004C0401750514204A8900A00200712417112E34B22A3916
1750 : 999000000000000022559D0052626C48A0551214BC0D460B0048C4007D0714204A8900A00200712419123138B42D3D17
2000 : 999000000000000022559D0052626C48A0551214BC0D460B0048C4007D0714204A8900A00200712419123138B42D3D17

Gives me with 1100/2000 about 30Mh/s

Got your straps in, they work much better than mine. My card can't get 30, but 29.2 is a vast improvement over where I was.

Anything higher than 1105/1960 generates a bunch of errors and rejected shares, but I will take it!

Will try to flash the other cards tomorrow.

Thanks DrX.

Np, it might be the Armor cooling, its weak. You could even lower the memory little bit without losing hashrate.

For me its getting cold in here (23°F), but still the farm is just enough to heat the house

But can't go any lower with power usage or the server room temp will go too low and can't be used to heat the house. Now in 59 °F and out 86 °F.

and try to push hot air from cards exhaust part with high rpm fan (noisy but good at pushing air)---this is better than pointing fans to gpus, with wrong setup these high speed fan can have conflict of 'air dynamics' with gpu fans.

thanks, you make a very good point there.

that way you will be able to max out the room's temperature threshold, but when you maxed it out, you can't cool the cards further, it is the room that you need to vent.

Nicehash made me smile today Grin

It is the most profitable day for me, with my little farm

ETH transactions are freaking expensive right now

I'm happy with my 3070 and 3080, even overpriced
But for now I'm done with shopping, no more GPUs for a while, I'd like to see the correction first
2017 was a great year to mine, all hardware were paid off, but 2018 BTC peaked, altcoin season happened and the the crash

frustrating for me being in a part of the world where our summer temperature very hot...had to downclock/undervolt and sacrifice some hashrate on a rig today on account of ambient. 2x40cm fans directed on rig with plenty windows open etc and still had mem temps running 80-84deg thats with gpu's fans tuned 75-80%

great cards so not knocking them just with weather like this need to consider diff options..and ive got another 2 months of this before it starts getting cooler

focus on cooling your mining room (keep finding ways to exhaust and intake) and make significant distance between cards (riser)

'The right to privacy matters'

viabtc is paying 7.38 cents an mh or

3.69 for a 50mh card

or 7.01 a day for one of my 3080 cards

that rig does 275 mh at the pool

that is 20.29 a day it uses 700 watts about 17kwatts a day at 15 cents = 2.55 so that rig makes about 18 a day after expensive power. More like 19 a day with decent power.

the s19pro makes 24.87 a day it uses 3200 watts. and that is 77kwatts or 3.85 at 5 cents. 7.70 at ten cents 11.55 at 15 cents

I paid 2700 for that 3 card rig all parts.

We paid 2700 + tax? for the 1 s19pro that come in 3 weeks

Mining eth is killing mining btc.

I only wish I could have grabbed more than 3 x 3080's

Back to eth

numbers on viabtc are nuts.

Daily Earnings 0.00007147 ETH/M (≈PPS 159.63%)

159.63% means coins are like 988.63 x 1.5963 = $1578 usd. vs the actual 988

over 7 cents an mh = nice,but still not as good as 2017.

1080tis did 10-15 a day for part of 2017

the 3080 is doing 7 a day
