Hey miners, just a little holiday update:

Portable Instant Mining Platform is US based, so we observe the US holidays at the request of our families

This weeks OTA update, or PIMPUP, would normally be on Thursday. We try to keep them coming regularly every two weeks , and of course if theres a big update or development we will push out an extra update to keep your miners on the latest. This week Thursday is the holiday though, so we will be getting your update out early, maybe even as soon as Tuesday.

The Clubhouse call is on Wednesday, and we expect light turnout given that its the day before the holiday, BUT Ill be around if anyone wants to stop by and chat.

After that we will be back on the regular schedule for updates.

Thanks for your support!

Hello fellow PiMP OS users and miners alike. For anyone that is unable to attend our Clubhouse Calls (held every Wednesday @ 18:00 EST), you can now get caught up by checking out the PiMP OS SoundCloud page where we post the call as a podcast. We want you to join the calls each week, but we are posting them for those who have other commitments during this time.

Please like and follow our page! https://soundcloud.com/getpimp

We talk about mining, hot coins, hardware coming, and many things that relate to crypto and the market in general. The PiMP developers also tell you what we are working on and what is coming soon. It takes place in our discord and it is great fun. Thank you for joining us!

So much happening here! Lets break it down a little:

OS UPDATES: *BIG* miners update yesterday, the latest versions of all supported miners and algos. If your favorite miner or coin isnt supported yet, let us know! We strive to include ALL popular miners and keep them up to date.

One of the big advantages of using PIMP OS is security: we research every miner we include, and ensure our updates are malware free - no more worrying about the integrity of a miner package from unknown authors. PIMP OS 3 will use a standard Linux package management system under the hood for updating miners, making PIMP OS even more flexible for your needs.

MINER.FARM UPDATES: The v3 beta is just around the corner, which means the release will be Very Soon now An all new backend and completely reworked frontend will bring you the ultimate in rig management. Packed full of features requested by users over the last 2 years, miner.farm v3 has no equal. Stay tuned for exciting previews from the beta team!

COMMUNITY UPDATES: Our weekly clubhouse calls are a wealth of information and friendly chatter, and this week was no exception. Check out the notes posted by melt for the details. This months email newsletter includes tax tips from our crypto friendly tax advisor Brash, just in time for tax season. Whats that, you dont get the newsletter? Sign up at https://getpimp.org We email the newsletter once a month, and we will NEVER share your contact info with anyone else.

Thank you for your support!

Agenda:
COINS ARE JUMPING!
Nov has been Monero is signalling bull - stocks are faltering a bit and Asia moves into coins- politics affecting trade
A lot more even - and a lot of cards can mine it - Dont need an ASIC
Forks going well - heavy increases the scratchpad to take advantage of video ram - advantage GPUs
Hot News - Many of the "Asic Resistance" folks really fly the ProgPoW flag. Now, we see Zcash going ProgPoW?
Z9 mini still mining it though

OCT AND NOV NEWS
The Brash Report
useful information
we want you to write some content
MF3 UPDATE
wrangling influxdb and grafana for the new graphs
these bleeding edge services are changing fast - and we are waiting for some of our feature requests
our old graphs are raw flot - the new ones will be much better - you can dial into specific rigs, drag for finer detail, etc.
pie charts are awful - pools going to a strip chart
mf3 beta next week!
agent page got a huge makeover - many new functions and details pertaining to the rig
all new key management and account detail information like transaction history
multi-user and multi-farm
cloud edit, cloud store, and push/pull configs to/from rigs
easier navigation
mobile: it all works on mobile and looks good so far - all done in bootstrap - but we will get a native app that works with api someday - we need a good mobile developer first, though. Zamasu likes java - and might like to try - applications should be bridging instead of forking - html5/js are capable enough to do rich environments - single codebase easier than having separate fork of the miner.farm application - push notifications would be the main feature
HARDWARE CORNER
RTX 2070/2080 so far - its still early - need more hands-on time - but plenty of headroom for more - tensor cores? isn 't BYTOM tensority algorithm - is this related? https://bminer.me/references/ - we doubt the raytracing unit will be used for normal hashing - but this ability could lead to new algos and new coins
Dead NVIDIA FE mem? nvidia downplaying - its not another Galaxy Note 7! Nvidia's response on the infant mortality
Nobody developing for AMD? vega - here to stay? looking at the 590, probably. any news on the 6xx series? AMD side is typically cryptonight, lyra, and phi2 - where AMDs have a great performance - Vega does best ProgPow out of the AMDs but still cant touch 1080Ti yet.
navi 600 series ? may be able to compete with the nvidia
AMD is building rigs now - and they have a hold of the console market
lyra2v2 and lyra2z are good at both amd and nvi, but hearing rumors of asics for it.
there's a lot of asics R&D coming out
PIMP OS UPDATES
pimpup 20181108 - TOMORROW! We got a huge changelog coming. Highlights:

avermore, cryptodredge, ethminer, progpow, t-rex, xmr-aeonstak, xmr-stak, z-enemy all updated to latest builds.

the hottest algos and coins added to default profiles - bitcore, aion (210_9 equihash), x22i, x17, phi2, lyra2z, neoscrypt, x16r, and x16s allhavenew coin examples

most of them in cryptodredge/zenemy/t-rex which are for nvidia

pimpup2 - we haven't changed much lately - let us know if anything needs to be fixed
pimp --debug will now chdir to the miner dir, this will be released tomorrow

tons of new miners coming soon, especially for some AMD love:
teamredminer for cnv8/phi2/lyra2z for amd, and working on some others;
avermore already handles x16r/x16s;
sgminer-fancyix for x22i/lyra2
all of the asic profiles have been updated, many new builds, and revamped configs for all the different kinds of usb asics
for cpu mining, cpuminer-opt added to cover many algos that cpuminer-multi does not
2.9 - still working on getting new amd and cuda to work together
3.0 - application coding is going well: pimpup3 beta next week! you will be able to test miner management, system config items, and backup/restore.

ZAMASU WORKING ON HIS OWN PAYMENTS SYSTEM
something to API - he is cloning the captcha systems and creating wallets/addresses to process transactions- refill the account periodically to access the application via API writing it in Java - windows version of cronjobs (scheduled tasks) every few minutes it will restart the java application that confirms transactions. Chrome driver for windows has to be restarted
Java -> Sun -> Oracle -> Larry Ellison (who bought Sun and MySQL - a FOSS competitor to Oracle - scary!) They did let a bunch go into OSS world - their LDAP, and some other things. OpenJDK not quite open
WebLogic / JBoss - still there!
Probably want to stand up a Tomcat on Centos to serve it - but really ...
Back in the day - using the Java interpreter allows the single codebase across many machines (java vm)
Now there are many more modern choices - Golang, etc.

Q&A
How did you hear about PiMP? Word of mouth

What are common miner pain points or questions, regardless of platform?
want the latest new altcoin miners

Have you gone to any crypto meetups?
Well, its baned in some places. But if you know too much, you end up being the teacher. Teachers dont make much. But it has to be give and take. Some of us even talk about crypto on dates! And how about the people that THINK they know everything?

What happens when your wallet breaks? - If you have the private keys, you can restart it.

Wrap Up

Agenda:
Happy Halloween!!!

Bitcoin birthday - 10 years today!
NIST making coins better for use as currency
IBM Blockchain announced - big stuff! From the makers of SNA and TCP/IP Ethernet! (link)
Within 6 weeks IBM will try to buy PIMP? Never know!
Ripple is a closed greed solution which does not help people
this month oct 2018 was the slowest trading volume of the year (link)

HiveOS strengths and weaknesses

when they revamped the website it's been nonstop issues
they dont have the stability or the miner support that pimp has
pimp provides much better hands-on access and control over the rig
it looks polished - and mf3 will too
referrals - they really beat the drum to recommend it to their friends
instilling confidence in prospective miners / possible pimp customers

we would like to offer a time limited demo of a farm access
free version of the minerfarm still exists
we never dipped below break even as a miner
coinbase keeps growing
LTC the silver to BTC's gold - till Ether upset that balance
ICO concept hurt the altcoin industry a lot due to the evils and scamming - causing hyperregulation and deep views
Various countries "looking into" regulating crypto - and the ICO vs the coin - gov's are looking at the right things
PiMP 2.9 /3.0 progress
big "Drivetrain" changes: amdgpu 16.40, cuda10+9.2, nvidia 410.73 (so far)

these changes will all benefit and roll up into pimp 3.0
pimp 3.0 application stuff is coming along nicely: apt updates for miners and pimp software - more control over miner updates - rig backup/restore -simple configuration - all commands in "console ui" AND "command line scriptable version"
re: support, will this system allow 1.x and 2.x users to pimpup? - platform changes will require reimage
pimpup3 will give more control over miner versions - allow users to not update
miner developers require certain things
flash drives - pimp will run on it, but we do not support it because we do not want you to have a bad experience, since they are not reliable and there is too much to do - but we are looking at making a usb "installer" that you can use to install pimp onto a rig, instead of reimaging and touching the hardware
OTA updates of kernel/drivers still are not very practical.
helpme2 is still the best troubleshooting tools out there - but helpme3 will be even better - rigs can self-troubleshoot
gethelp from ethos is just an irc tool for them to give support - it does not help the user - netstat helps show unwanted listeners or visitors
VEGA

coming to the pimp lab this week - should ensure support soon - nice for the cryptonights
we were waiting for amd to get the drivers right - as always
and then the miner devs to figure it out
and for dc support - rocm not adequate - and gcc7 neede
NVIDIA 2070/2080 info

20x0 nvidia support coming too - miner devs still working on optimizations - this is not just a new version of a 10x0 card
cuda10 needed for the 2080 (most of them need 8+6pin or 8+8pin) and plimit is restricting the cards - so far tensor cores cannot be used for mining app, but this may lead to significant improvements.
We already have some Doc limited testing results on 2080Ti - needed nvidia 415 - miners mined
miner.farm 3.0 progress

Supports OS/2 Warp! It's browser based.
pretty buttons and interactive control of the whole farm
we just finished all the brand new subscription interfaces and custom shopping cart system
a day of stats work, and then moving to new graphs
beta in next week or so - then releasing to beta
special guest: dbct!

welcome back to dbct - we are glad to have you in the call
dbct helped launch the helpme, the forum, and the clubhouse and the testing and beta teams
dbct is very well liked and a has been a very important part of the team
the miners still have a say in the development - this is unique especially in the crypto
lily is still a superstar
dbct got called as a career man and with night school on top of being a family man - and got pulled away from us

Wrap Up

Sometimes, making money from a mine is not about keeping up with the Jones. 

It is not about updating, tweaking, or tuning constantly. 

Instead, it is just about letting the miner grind on the work.  Hashing is as hashing does, and results are what matters the most.

Uptime means stability while performing, and the ability to handle change without crashing.

One of our largest customers shared this with us, some screen shots of his results in the form of uptime as a metric....

That's right, 250 days of constant uptime.  Stability is what makes a Rig that Earns, and its simply part of Pimp OS core.

Cheers and Best Wishes for Happy and Stable Mining!

Just a reminder miners, the new PIMP OS image - version 2.8 - is built with the latest OS version and kernel, and has the most up to date drivers. If you are using an older version we encourage you to upgrade.

It is what will become the 3.x product, which is subscription only. Not to worry, we will be keeping the 2.8 version up to date with the newest miners and software for as long as we can, so you will get the maximum value for your investment.

New to Linux mining? We have you covered! Using PIMP OS is easy; no weird mystery lines to enter, no difficult training, just simple to use commands and an entire support Discord and Forum full of help, advice and friendly people Image, Boot, Mine; its that simple! You dont have to take our word for it though, just read through the great reviews we get from users all the time at https://getpimp.org.

Thanks for your support,
Lily

Hey miners, just tossed out a quick update for you all today to wrap up the XRDP bug and the highly awaited x22i support is in on the first day, using t-rex miners, sorry, nvidia only until some miner developers give us a linux x22i miner.

pimpup 20181027:

Updated t-rex to v0.7.2 and added x22i (SUQA) coin to example profile.
Updated xmr-stak to v2.5.1 (more cryptonight v8 fixes.)
Fixed xrdp breaking after pimpup on 2.8.6.
Fixed conky IP address on desktop showing 0 after pimpup on 2.8.6.
Removed zergpool examples from t-rex, cryptodredge, and z-enemy profiles (pool is gone.)

Hope you are all doing great and come see us in discord!

Come see what we are scaring up!

Hi Miners,

Big changes are coming to PIMP OS, and its not just all the great new miners and drivers and features:

Starting with version 3 we will be using a monthly subscription model instead of a one-time payment.

We are making this change because most miners asked for it, but some prefer the one time payment, so this is a heads up to you who would rather not use a subscription for your OS.

We have just released the 2.8 image version, and it is based on the same core that will make up the 3.x versions . Obviously the 3.x versions will have improved versions of our software and the latest drivers at release time, but here is your chance to get what will become the subscription version at the one time price.

2.x versions will work on miner.farm V3 day one, and we will support 2.x for as long as it is still functional, so no worries about your purchase losing any value. We still support our 1.9 version, even though its not practical to mine with anymore, as an example of our dedication to your investment.

You can purchase PIMP OS at www.getpimp.org

Thank you for your support,
Lily
getpimp.org | miner.farm

pimpup 20181019:

Updated to bminer 10.5.
Updated to cryptodredge 0.9.3. cryptonight_v8 now supported.
Updated cryptodredge profile to include BitTube (cryptonight_saber) examples.
Fixed a few small display errors in pimpup.
Fixed ethermine example pools in claymore.dual.pcfg profile.
Reworked xmr-stak profiles and updated to latest of each xmr-stak fork. Both support cryptonight_v8 algorithm and are ready for the monero hard fork. You will need to run pimpup to update the confs and the miners:

- 3201 (cpu/amd/nvid) xmr-aeonstak indeedminers: cryptonight and variants [xmr-aeonstak.pcfg]
- 3251 (cpu/amd/nvid) xmr-stak fireiceuk: cryptonight and variants [xmrstak.pcfg]

Hi miners!

Every Wednesday the PIMP team has a public voice chat on our Discord server. We invite you to come join us for crypto related discussion and product news and questions.

The chat is on our Discord server https://discord.gg/grCbFsA at 3PM Pacific/6PM Eastern US time, and we invite anyone to come and chat with us about our products and crypto in general. The call is attended by all our developers and beta testers, so there will be plenty of expertise on hand. Hopefully this week the server will be more co-operative...

In this weeks call we will be talking about the latest 2.8.x beta image, which appears to be ready for production and will replace the 2.6 image. Also updates on miner.farm v3 progress, talk about the latest GPU news, and of course whatever you want to bring to the discussion about crypto and mining.

We would love to see you there - mark your calendars!
