Topic: PiMP OS is the fastest and easiest way to mine ALL crypto currencies! - page 10. (Read 83009 times)

GetPimp has got to be the WORST mining app out there!!!!!!!!!! Wasted weeks of my life trying to make this work and not one share yet!!! ETHOS is great but no Nvidia support. 1080ti card without work collecting dust as difficulty rises - Bitcoin must fail because it is not made for the common person.

No help on chat. Cant use commands to delete port activity. Cant configure files to get any hashing started. They told me not to overthink but I see many others are having similar issues as I am on google. Can Ethos please support Nvidia. Took one hour for me to get Ethos configured and hashing - my only issue was maxing out the hash rate. Again 2 WEEKS and not one share trying to demystify GetPimp.

PLEASE PEOPLE SAVE YOUR $30 - there are better ways to blow your money and more importantly your time!!!

I hate this app!!!!!!!!!

WWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

hello iulius99

sorry for the late reply but we have been very busy as of late even more so
i would like to try and answer all the questions you have and thank you for you interrest in pimp
there are ways in pimp to mod the bios now and we are working on the documentation for that so that should be understandable to do soon .
and we do have atiflash standaard intergrated in our pimp software so both ways can give you higher hashrates.

if you have 1 key that is for one rigg you can transfer it to another rigg but the first has to come down
unless you have a volume key ofcourse then you can have it on more then one rig.

pimp has been a free product till q3 of 2016 so people have been able to test it for free befor that time .
however please read the userguide and the disclaimer for more info on that

also to get an idea on how well your miner could preform have a look at the hashrate page on getpimp.org

hope i have informed you enough

with kind regards,

Hello PiMPs and non PiMPs
 
 
PiMP this month has seen a lot of new people as well as the usual regulars that always seem to know what is going on in crypto!
Thanks to your honest feedback, we went back to the basics. We have been optimizing, slimming down, and bug fixing to get the stability PIMP is known for.
 
Miner.farm has continued to grow in every way. The PIMP farm, the free accounts and subscribers have continued to suggest great ideas and improvements and the service keeps getting better thanks to you!
On top of that it is a awesome way to view control and manage your rigs from 1 rig up to a big farm
This brings me to the best stuff the getPiMP family has put up for all of you to help you stay ahead.
On top of this all we had the breaking may new release for you all and are getting great feedback on that aswell.
 
PiMP:
 
 
PiMP general:
-the new config are in full effect ( please run pimpup to get them the old configs will go out of date and be unusable).
-new cli commands like --add , --delete and --debug are working as a easyway and more stable then we could ever imagine.
-Special thanks to the help of our contributor iceman we have been able to make the images smaller and more secure.
-Special thanks to the help of our friends from SilentArmy we now have a special kernel for the 2.1 version of pimp as well as some other optimizations.
 
 
PIMP 2.1 AMD and NVIDIA Release:
RX 5xx series Support
New AMDGPU 17.10 Drivers
New Linux 4.11 Kernel
Optimized by Silentarmy
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
Created by a Professional Testing and Support Team, the first of its kind in crypto platform development.
Many small bug fixes
 
 
pimp 1.9 and 2.0
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
1.9 rc16b released this is the proper rc16 release
 
 
 
Minerfarm:
 
 
 
The over 640 minerfarm users tell us that the system has a firm and solid foundation.
With more features coming out this year we are also working hard on expanding the way we present and view miner.farm
we have been testing the error reporting and the mailing so that you get the best we can put out for you.
 
 
 
Testing/Support Team Corner:
 
New Testers:
garretthaae
 
Special thank you to thesmokingman and SEH for extensive nvidia development work. Thesmokingman has gone above and beyond what we ask of PIMP Testing/Support Team and we are very thankful.
 
SPOTLIGHT ON QUALITY: % of Copies sold that required support:
JAN: 1%
FEB: <1%
MAR: 3.5%
APR: 2%
MAY: 4%
 
 
 
Dev Teaser:
 
We have been working on the nvidia overclocking scripts overclocking support for amdgpu coming soon. 
 
Feature Spotlight:
 
pimp --test this is a awesome way to see if your setup works like a well pimped out machine. It will show you the start up miner command that it uses, starts the miner and then attaches to the miner screen automatically. This allows you to see more information about what the miner is doing on your rig.
 
Quick Tips:
 
Why do we check sgminer -n in the helpme? You can get right to the point. If the miner can see the GPU, we are pretty much good to go. Beyond this, is just editing the conf file, add miner, start miner. Problems? Probably your conf settings, pool or network issue, or hung GPU.
 
DBCT question of the month:
 
Because we value you as a miner we are constantly working on new things but we could use your help.
What feature are you missing in PiMP ?
mail me at [email protected]
 
 
To wrap it up for this month:
 
Crypto mining is getting more traction as it gains more support from the public every day.
With BTC , ETH, ZEC and others reaching for the moon many people turn to the cryptoworld as a great way of making money and having fun and a great time with tweaking and getting the most out of there system.
 
As the first original professional mining OS we are proud and excited about this.
We encourage new miners to try PiMP and start mining and using crypto
 
Stay tuned for more stories and case studies from our friends and supporters and even our competitors, as we dig into what makes a successful mining operation, so we can all grow and learn together with PIMP.
 
Break Break
In a firework moment the pimp dev team made a great breakthrough at the last moment  for all you nvidia users , the EWBF now shows almost all the info you wanted in minerfarm.
This is not the end of the feature and pimp and minerfarm  will keep working on the fans aswell this is still a very significant breakthrough.

Hi!
 I would like to try your famous new Pimp ... but first, if you can tell about the new RX 580 Nitro+4GB  if  can underclock by the SO, and if that needs to modify the bios of the GPUs to get higher Hash values, and if  can get updates by going to higher versions when they come out ...
If I want to move the SO from one PC to another, the key remains valid, or do i have to reset it from your support ?

It would have been useful a way to be able to test Pimp before buying, so one gets an idea of what you can get with its GPUs.


Thank you.

hello dragonmike

i would like to invite you to our irc
because i see no reason why it should not but  7 gpu riggs can be tricky though that is why most stay at 6 gpu's per system

next to the mobo there is also what cards are being used and so on

looking forward to see you in our irc

with kind regards

dbct

Hello dbct
I'm currently fighting with my new z170a gaming pro carbon rigs. Can't hardly get Windows to recognize more than 5 gpus (got 7 gpus per mobo, 2 mobos).

Will pimp recognise these without issues? I was a very happy user of pimp back in 2014, and would be happy to pay the 30 bucks if it solves my issues! Please let me know asap!

hello iulius99 and toptek

Thanks Toptek for your support and glad you like the product, reading down i will try and give you all the answers that you seem to be so determine to find iulius99.

To get the confusion out the way i would like to say that the subscription sheet you show us applies to the minerfarm monitoring control system product of the getpimp family products.

With pimp OS comes a free version as seen also in the subscription sheet  so people are able to see there miner from anywhere.
The pimp OS you buy the key  for all current (may 11 2017) versions of the OS so you are able to select the one you would need for your rig
What do you get for your one time investment of the OS:


i hope this alone will answer your first question, next to this the second question i would agree with toptek , this being said if you are that interrested in the product i would advise you to come in our public chat and have a chat with the pimps.

our target as you point out is the whole mining community for big farms there are solutions and they in turn think allot before they make a choice in OS and in costs.
But for a home miner i know the price is fair because because of what is included in the OS.

I do fail to see one thing and that is why you have a grudge against entities like PiMP and also for this i would like to invite you to our irc

These prices I think they also include Pimp ... I do not know if it only refers to mining service on miner.farm

first off, I agree with some of what you said but were did you get 25-30 euros per month or what is that US 40 or more-, i bought two copy's of pimp,one for 25 Us and one for 30 US and i don't see were it say's yet, i have to pay 40 bucks a month to use this software on top of buying it and to me MINER.FARM is one of the best ones,and priced fairly and is free if you wish to use it free. even if i don't use it, im just being fair which it seems you not by some of the comments you claim about pimp that are not true...and you can see the see the source if you want to .. form what i saw ...

  Hello again!
  To make it short ... Have you ever looked at these hardware comparison charts looking at the OS level ... I know almost everyone knocks on windows. You asked why? personaly i'm not a fan of windows ... i do work well on ubuntu, debian or other systems ... i do not write it for envy, but thinking that you made a wrong step ...

http://mininghwcomparison.com/list/index.php

  Now if you let me, I would also like to ask you two questions:

1. Have you ever established a market target to see how many miners will be willing to pay 25-30 euros ?
2. Have you ever read what is open source, and how does it work? Because looking at your site I can not see the sources at all, that you are at and who are certainly open source ... and you put them on, paid ... (not a matter of time, in the case of real devs that have been sweating To do their systems).

Another thing ... if you find out that somebody finds ways to evade your famous key ... what did you do? Do you bring them to court? but for what ? If this pimp relies on a free system? What do you tell them to the judge? I leave to you the answer.


The miners' row (as people)  in altcoin decreases, more and more, with high costs ...


Good luck ...

Thanks a lot for your support too FFI2013! Really makes us happy to hear that you are doing well with your mining, and that we are able to help you.

Honestly by having many choices for mining platforms it keeps us all on our top performance trying to make our tools the best and the biggest winners are the miners. So we are happy to hear that the other solutions also work well for some people / some applications. And we will keep trying to be the best as long as we always stay true to our roots which is the voice of the miners themselves.

And I gotta tease a little bit...... Stay tuned for updates to drivers, new kernels, and new profiles all coming soon, we are non-stop building and improving, the testing team has been working furiously to get it up to our release standards for stability and reliability that we are known for.

Subscribe to our e-mail list at getpimp.org and come hang out in our IRC whether you run PIMP or not! Everyone is welcome and we love to talk with other miners. And there are many different language speakers so you may make a friend!

Sincerely,
~ melt ~
PIMP Dev Team

I have used just about every os for mining and believe that pimp has made a good decision on the $25 key that not a lot of money and every time I had a problem support help wright away a lot of work has gone into building pimp so don't think the little bit of money they are asking for a key should be a problem also simpleming is going to start charging $2 a month for each rig a month I had suggested doing a key like pimp 

hello iulius99

thanks for your feedback
yes pimp has been a free product from 2012-2016 this is no longer the case.
well what you are suggesting is the following charge us please a monthly fee for support of pimp, this is what we have not done for pimp.
What we done with pimp is the other way of thinking for the key you get the updates , the dev work and completely tested product by our test team and you get the support.
I hope you can imagine the amount of work that goes into making a good easy to use good product.
Your claim on that everyone left linux for windows is a incorrect claim and i would love to hear your base for that claim.
In our product the customer stands on top and we work close with miner developers and asic developers so this might give you a great edge in the near future.
If you find that simplemining OS is what you want and need then i would suggest giving that a spin but if you ever change your mind we will still be here.
If you would say hey i have 2000 dollar for a rig but can’t spare 30 dollar for a OS with free support almost 24/7 and updates of current product version, there is a referral system also that you may fancy next to this there are allot of ideas still not in play but will come over time.

Hello! Pimp Support!
First of all I think with this version of PiMP 1.9, 2.0 ... everything will be improved but at the same time you will lose much of the fame ... with this PiMP opening system with the key ... If you look only at other OSs ... SMOS, BAMT, and others ... there will be the same goal ... even if you have put so much effort into the updates ... Maybe to lengthen this agony of the end of these closed / opened systems for the rig, it would More intelligent to leave the OS free and only pay for Support ... You will gain infinitely more advertising ... now when almost everyone has left linux for windows or even the Asic with their OS ... what is left for you? (especially now that other OS free versions are released: SimpleMining OS  ...)

Hello Pimps 


Wow it has been a interesting month again and we see some pimps really pushing the envelope in tweaking and tuning their cards and using minerfarm to see their results.
This is a great thing to see as the enthusiastic home  /hobby miners have a great time with our product we are getting great feedback.
A miner came in the other day and asked for assistance. We provided what he needed and it turned out we got some great feedback so we had adjusted the guide and workshop content accordingly.
Another great thing is we see more and more miners using minerfarm and we have given our mobile friendly monitoring platform a great facelift.

WINNER!!!!!!!!!

Yes we have one.
As time goes on we from pimp sometimes leave some hidden easter eggs here and prize questions here and there all over the site.
Mr evilmrkipling18 congratulations with your 1 month free upgrade to farmer status on minerfarm.
This gives him more control of his miner or his farm from anywhere he has a web connection.

A quick reminder to check the guides, FAQ and videos for new information. Also a special thank you to all of the miners asking questions on the FAQ! We have put a ton of time into making the guides and videos and we have a lot more planned for you.
We have been excited to watch the #PiMP Live chat IRC channel grow! More and more miners have been coming in to discuss and help one another so come join us. We have a wide ranging Testing/Support team and are connected to other mining communities too!


 
 PIMP:


This pimpup brings us the command line pimp --add , pimp --delete and the awesome pimp --test and pimp --debug he screen wrapper for easy troubleshooting.

We are also continually updating and working on the confs to make them easier to understand and manage.

Keep your eye out  for the pimpup or pimp news message on your screen when you login! This means our dev and test team have added something good! Usually an update of a miner or an update to pimp, we always try to get you the best as fast as we can so you can earn more hash!

The helpme was bolstered as well to make it easier for you, your fellow miners, and the support team to determine what is wrong and help you with the info you need to get back to mining as fast as possible.

 MINERFARM:

Now that we have a super stable and reliable piece of software and service and worked hard on the back end our devs have started working on features to give you more.
As we are doing this to give you the best features be sure to don’t miss out and stay ahead of the wave.

Getpimp.org:

We made a place for all miners who want more , well here it is you get more with pimp workshop https://getpimp.org/pimps-corner/workshop/ .
In the workshop miners like you that want more or get an edge  can request an article or make a article to help or get the info they need for their ultimate rigg.
Be sure to check it out.
Want to pimp out your personal webpage , now you can with https://getpimp.org/pimps-corner/op-pimp-the-world/ 

DEV-Teaser:

PiMP Dev team has been hard at work testing hash and reliability using new linux kernel customization, drivers, and platform changes. We are proud to say we have had support from some of the biggest names in mining, and thanks to them we are going to be offering major improvements to PIMP OS.  We are about to put PiMP 2.1-amdgpu into final testing phase so you can get the most hash for your new cards!!! Stay tuned!!!

 
WE NEED YOU!!! pimp/minerfarm:

We have a great team and great community but there is always room for you to help us get even better.
We hope that you can spread a positive word and buying and subscribing to pimp and minerfarm are very great things to support us, there is also another way we also need to fill out some spaces to make the pimp team bigger please look at https://getpimp.org/help/about/ to see how you can help make this product even better.
In short we need you.

We are trying to make a cool vid with pics and vids, in order to do this we call upon our great community to help us out with content of pics and just a short movie that we may use for this any content you want to share please mail it to [email protected]



Conclusion:

Minerfarm and PiMP OS are doing great since the launch of the 1.8 back in october 2016 , since then we have more than 600 active users and ever growing. We continue to sell several copies of PiMP OS a day and have had very little support needed: We are extremely grateful for all of our Testers and also our “PiMP Power users” who have worked tirelessly on QA to be sure that you get the best tools we can give.

If that is not enough we still try to stay at our roots with 1 on 1 support via irc and the videos and guides.
So don’t miss out on our ever evolving programs and services and the hidden easter eggs we sometimes plant. Crypto is freedom and crypto is fun. Enjoy!

Hello Pimpz

Lets first start off this post with mentioning that the price per license is 30 usd per rig, this has gone in effect on the april 3 2017.
The reason for the raised price is that the development of this OS and the Monitoring system had some major backend upgrades and this in turn made the 3 platforms currently in place to be much more stable and reliable. And all of your tools continue to get improvements and updates!

Our test/support team now has some new tools like a full q&a section and customer bug tracking to help you get the most out of your rig and into the crypto mining instead of constantly fixing your rig.
.

With this i would like to say thanks to all the contributors ,  helping hands and awesome feedback from the community  that make this project a success.
We from pimp like to give a special thanks to rverstar (russian translation ) , jadaking (france translation),seh (german translation) , n1ce (spanish translation) and dbct and his family in helping out with the dutch translation.
We will be implementing them soon.
If you see anything wrong or out of place in the translations please let us know we always try to offer you the best.

As you all know we love the creativity and spirit of mining!! So we are happy to say that there is lots more great mining content to come from our friends such as:
Yassien ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtsW5CD7utT9-0AI8ktoqxw ), Buriedone Blockchain (known from http://www.buriedone.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/user/BuriedOne ) made a PROMOVID https://youtu.be/kb6R5t3jee4 for you all to see   and chilledgamer for letting us know they are going to make some awesome videos for you all to make the PiMP/MinerFarm expirience the best crypto mining experience you will ever have. .

PiMP:

New easier checkout process! Just buy a PIMP OS from getpimp.org and then, all 3 versions of pimp are now in your account under the download tab once you bought a license.(one license is needed per rigg)
We done this to give you the freedom to choose what flavor is best for you .
All miners included are updated to the latest known at this point.
The updates in pimpup have now been separated for Nvidia and AMD miners





MINERFARM:


Minerfarm has seen a lot of enhancements this month that will improve your experience and all round make it slim and fast.

And this is not all on the back end of miner farm there have been many code improvements for stability and reliability, hosting upgraded for improved performance.





CONCLUSION:

2017 is off for a great start with more and more tools and features are implanted and released.
The feedback we had from our community has been greatly appreciated and we hope that we provide and keep providing you with the best easiest mining solution .
PiMP is still looking for people that want to help make this project a great success and asks you to take a look here https://getpimp.org/help/about/

personally i would also like to thank our test team and the devs for their quick testing and making all the adjustments so that your downtime will stay a thing of the past

Yassien and Heliox have been so kind in sharing a couple of rigg pictures for you to see get idea’s off and give you some creative vibes , more can be found here https://getpimp.org/pimps-corner/pimp-rigs/ or just to show you that it does not matter if you are a bigg or a small miner every miner counts

A pleasure making mining tools for you kilo17, we really appreciate your business and honest review both ways!

Several miners, myself included, look forward to lots of great discussion with you in the pimp chat

Thank you Kolbas for your interest in PiMP.
Yes, you can do /opt/pimp/atiflash -s 0 /root/gpu0-biosbackup.rom to save your existing vbios, and then flash other bios files, for example. Then a simple reboot is all that is needed. For more advanced changes, until we get a more advanced tool, you can still modify the VBIOS using windows tools for now.

We are working on getting some more guides on how to mod BIOS on the pimp workshop: If you would like to contribute please do

I see there is Atiflash on the Pimpin OS - can it be used like regular Atiflash
