Hello Fellow PiMP's!

We had a good showing at yesterday's PiMP OS Clubhouse Call even though Discord was having Voice issues. Again, thank you to everyone who made it and stuck with it.

What? You didn't make it to the Clubhouse Call?! No problem! I got you covered with the meeting minutes... just do me a solid and mark your calendars now for the next one. Every Wednesday @ 18:00 EST (That's 6:00pm for all my non-military PiMP's!   ) on the PiMP Discord Clubhouse Call voice channel.

Now that we've all got our calendars marked, let's get on with those meeting minutes I promised.

The biggest thing we discussed was the new payment system that will be introduced with the release of PiMP OS v3.0. It's still a bit "down the road" from now, so I won't cover all the details here. Think subscription based licensing. That's right, but more details will follow later on.

Anyway, the part of that I will cover here is the integration into miner.farm. If you didn't already know, miner.farm has been getting an overhaul done on it. Big changes are coming. If you love miner.farm now, Brother, you're going to want to marry it when you see what it's going to be. Amazing. Biggest shout-out goes to Lily for all of her hard work in doing it.

So back to the notes... The PiMP OS licensing system is being integrated into miner.farm where you will have so much more control over your keys and rigs. Also, Coinbase and PayPal payments will be accepted as soon as the new miner.farm (aka miner.farm3) is released.

Speaking of the new miner.farm, when it does get released it will be seamless. One day you'll be using miner.farm and the next day... Bam! You'll be using the new miner.farm. No extra fees. No massive re-configs of your rigs/farms. Nothing like that. It'll just work.

Let's see... what else?... oh, yeah. The name. The PiMP OS Staff/Dev Teams have been discussing the idea of renaming PiMP. It seemed a bit "split down the middle" from the group, but it is something that is being considered. Feel free to comment here, the PiMP forum, or even in the PiMP Discord channel and let us know what you think. Nothing is official, but the team would love some user feedback on this topic.

We also covered the version release road map. Right now, the current public release is v2.6. The PiMP OS Beta Team is currently working on v2.8.5b and v2.8.6b (fix release)... If everything goes smooth (and it seems like that is the case so far), v2.8.6b will become the public release v2.8.6rc. Biggest change in v2.8.x (over v2.6) is that it's based upon Ubuntu 18.04 and will have the newest stable video drivers. There's also been some amazing cosmetic changes as well. Shout out to Melt for those!

After the v2.8.6rc release, we can expect maybe one more release (maybe v2.9) to incorporate another kernel update and newer video drivers. However, not too long after v2.9, you can expect the long awaited v3.0!! (Okay, okay... I'm getting too far ahead.)

The last things we covered were the new nVidia RTX GPU's and the upcoming AMD RX600-series GPU's. Just know that the PiMP OS Dev Team is working as hard and as fast as they can to ensure PiMP OS supports these new GPU's. I did manage to get my hands on a nVidia RTX 2080Ti for a few hours to play around with. I can honestly say that I'm impressed. These are beasts.

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen... those are the notes from our last Clubhouse Call and you are now caught up! I told you I had your back!

PiMP Mining Magazine ? So you stay in the Green ? September 2018

Join us for fun as well as profits!
We appreciate you being a part of the PiMP Project and for reading our newsletter. We want to hear from you, so jump in the PiMP discord at discord.me/pimp and tell us what you want us to be working on. Also, check out our #culture-food-fun and get to know your fellow miners and have some fun.

Strategies for Staying Profitable
The PiMP Community remains flexible and has all the tools and advice and help that miners need to stay profitable in any market. Come chat with us!

AMDs for cheap!
I just grab a 570 8gb same brand for ?170 with 20 month warranty, and work out at 80 watts it cost me ?6 Per gpu for electricity per month, whereas 1080 costs at 160 watts per card ?12 per month so 50% saving. What an eye opener for sure  ~ Louis, PiMP Support Team

Time for Fine Tuning!
Running MSI Armor GTX 1070 now and getting about 30 MH/s ETH: 0.30MH/Joule @ 100 watts with gputool settings at nvc 175 nvm 800. I must squeeze out less tdp cause now im running in reds? I hate dutch electro costs? ~ Twizted, PiMP Beta Team

Recycle that Heat!
As winter approaches, profits can come back by recycling your rig heat to warm your home or shop. Last year, melt was able to use free rig heat all winter long and never burned any fuel! You can run your furnace on ?Fan only? and send the heat from the rigs to the heater?s return.

Crypto Tax Tips
If you are planning on declaring your mining income, the basic rule applies: Keep good records. If you have good records, then you can always explain where you got your numbers, and that almost always satisfies the tax officials.

Scan and save all hardware receipts and invoices for expenses such as electrician and HVAC subcontractors if you plan to expense any of this.

Miner.farm 3 Roadmap Report

Miner.farm 3 development is right on time. We?ve been incorporating tons of new features while fixing up all the existing code. Most notable is the multi-user capability. You will be able to assign Farm Managers so you can give management access to your partners or staff to help manage your entire farm. Private farms can also share with select persons having read only access.
Your voice and feature requests have been heard. We now will have a Dark Mode, for easier monitoring on the eyes, as well as some business features such as dynamic PDF invoices, and group control of your rigs.

PiMP OS Roadmap Report

Image 2.8.3 beta was a success, and PiMP 2.8.4 is expected to be released by early October. This is a complete revamp and brings us to the next generation of Ubuntu, which sets the foundation for the PiMP 3.0 platform.
New miners and coins: In just a few short months, we have added over 8 new miners (and cleaned up a few outdated ones) as well as added over 150 new coins, algorithms, and examples to PiMP. We regularly watch sites like whattomine, and participate in hundreds of mining community discords and forums to stay on top of the hottest mining coins, so we can make it easy for you to mine them.
Notable new coin algorithms that are hot right now: ProgPoW, several Cryptonight variants, and several Equihash variants.

Support Team Shout Outs

Welcome to the Beta Team to TheNexus, CyberPerson, and ToeKnee; and welcome back to some betas who were gone for a while. We appreciate working with you to make PiMP and miner.farm the best that they can be!

Tips, Tricks, & Troubleshooting:  Introducing DocDrydenn?s New Column

Beginning this month, DocDrydenn, one of the newest PiMP OS Support Team members, will write a regular column for the PiMP OS Monthly Newsletter, detailing the ups and downs of his relationship with the number one cryptomining operating system ? PiMP OS. Be sure to check out ?Doc?s Cryptomining Triage? in each PiMP OS Newsletter!

Doc?s Cryptomining Triage

Hello fellow PiMPs!  For those who frequent the PiMP Discord channel or the PiMP OS forum have probably already met me, but for those who haven?t, let me introduce myself: You all know me as DocDrydenn, but don?t let that name fool you ? I?m no Doctor, ?but I did play one in Battlefield 4? Anyway, everyone just calls me Doc.
I just retired from 20 years of enlisted active duty service in the US Navy. I was an Aviation Electronics Technician (AT) First Class Petty Officer (E-6). As an AT, my base training is electronics, but don?t let the ?Aviation? part fool you? Trust me, electrons flow exactly the same here on the ground as they do in the air. I?ve worked on all sorts of electronics ranging from simple power supplies all the way up to extremely complex weapon RADAR systems. I served on-board three US Naval ships, USS Saipan LHA-2 (Amphibious Assault Ship), USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 (Nuclear Aircraft Carrier), and the USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 (also a Nuclear Aircraft Carrier). I have worked on numerous aircraft, from helicopters to fighter jets.
Back in 2011, I got hooked on Distributed Computing, specifically SETI@Home. I saved up some money and built a 10 GPU rig to help search for E.T. It was fun for a while, but I wanted to try something else. Sometime in January of 2018, I decided I would give cryptomining a try. I reconfigured my SETI@Home machine into a cryptomining rig and have loved every part of it.
The best part of PiMP OS (besides how awesome it is) is the community that comes with it. Part of being in a community is helping others, so when fellow PiMP?s need help, I jump at the chance to get them back up and running. As I always say, PiMP?s helping PiMP?s.

My vision for ?Doc?s Cryptomining Triage? is to share with you my collection of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting methods that I?ve found to be most useful.
To start this column out right, let?s cover a very common issue a lot of PiMP?s might come across: PiMP OS keys not validating.
99.8% of the time, this is a very quick and easy fix. After flashing the PiMP OS image to your SSD, make sure you eject/unmount the drive (or power down the host machine) before disconnecting it. If you find yourself in this situation, you?ll need to re-flash the PiMP OS image to your drive and follow the eject/unmount process. That?s it. Simple fix.
Okay, maybe not the most exciting, but this column is already long enough. I promise a much more indepth and helpful Cryptomining Triage post in the next PiMP OS newsletter. Until then, feel free to jump into the PiMP Discord channel and hit me up. You PiMPs stay PiMPy!

The Future of PiMP: To 3.0 and Beyond!
MARCH UPDATE

The PiMP platform is evolving quickly along with the changes to the AMD drivers and their relationship with the Linux kernel. Here's what to expect under the hood over the next few months:

• PiMP 2.5.1 releases in April using CUDA 9.1 and the PiMP 4.15 Cheesesteak kernel.
• PiMP 2.6 is in the works for June, and will be based on Linux 4.16.

     Keeping on the latest technology means being the first to support new GPUs, coins, and miners, as well as squeezing every last hash from your cards.
     In addition to this amazing kernel work by the PiMP developer family in moving toward PiMP 3.0 generation, there are some headline features to be announced in the coming months.
    PiMP 3.0 is going to give you much more control over miner versions and PiMP packages using the apt package system. For instance, you will be able to choose among versions of a miner and pick the one that works great for you. And the ability to provide more updates via pimpup instead of requiring a reimage, this is something that everyone loves.
 
Support Team Shout Outs
THIS ONE GOES OUT TO OUR FAVORITE AI
This month we wanted to focus on our favorite PiMP command tool: helpme
     We've tapped our shiny red rigs together three times and the PiMP team is excited to announce that after consulting the man behind the curtain, helpme is getting a brain!
     Getting smarter, faster, and easier, the next generation of helpme is going to look at the logs and tell you if it sees any problems.  This will help you keep your rigs up and running smooth. And less troubleshooting time is more profit for you.

Website Updates
SPRING CLEANING PiMP STYLE
    We are underway renovating our entire web presence, and integrating all things PiMP and Miner.Farm into one site, built from scratch using up to date tools.
    This means that using PiMP and Miner.Farm will be easier than ever; all your account information will be in one place for both PiMP OS purchases and Miner.Farm subscriptions, and you will be able to manage them from one place. With this comes a much improved interface, with far more flexible tools to manage your rigs and farm.
     Phase One will give you a unified account; all your purchases and subscriptions in one place for both PiMP OS and Miner.Farm. We want to make sure this essential piece is working perfectly with payment providers and our internal accounting so the rollout is not in the immediate future, but it is first on the list for release, and we will be certain to let you know as the day approaches!

Regarding AMD BIOS information, PiMP comes with tools that allow you to dump, view, edit, and flash AMD BIOS without issues.  No need to jump to windows and back.

It also comes with a unique application called 'gputool' that allows you to overclock and tune either AMD or NVIDIA GPUs from the same configuration file.  It also reports GPU status, health, and can be used to find a GPU by turning on/off fans & lights.

PiMP also supports mixed rigs!  Use a combo miner, like claymore dual or ethminer to mine using both AMD and NVIDIA.  Or split them GPUs up with a seperate miner for either AMD or NVIDIA.  All the drivers are current, libraries are refreshed constantly.  And the miner applications upto date.  New profiles released constantly so you can always be mining the most profitable coins.

A vibrant and active community as well, with a bustling Discord server and a well organized forum https://forum.getpimp.org/  You can always find help, not only from a dedicated and devoted staff, but from thousands of users.  Sharing tips on overclocking, tuning, and mining in general.

WON'T U B (ON) MINE(R.FARM)
This month we doubled the web server capacity for Miner.Farm! We continue to release improvements that streamline the product to be able to handle even the most hardened miners out there. Sign up for a free account with Miner.Farm and capture realtime graphing of your rig’s performance!

Beta Team Business Tips
HAND HOLDING LIKE SOME TEENAGE SWEETHEARTS
One of the most useful features is our `pimpup --auto`. You can set up auto resets of the rig on a regular rotation (we recommend weekly).
Other things you can do:

* reboot the box after it's done pimp'ing up with `pimpup`
* `pimp --stop 1 && pimpup --auto && pimp --start 1` can be used to update pimp and the current miner(s) in use (make sure to stop 2,3,4 if you are using those, as well.)
* Remember: pimpup only updates the software during the "Updating PiMP Software" part. Then it brings you to a menu to update your miner. After you've updated your software, don't forget to update your miner!

I run over 600 machines on PiMP and I can tell you it is the easiest and most flexible linux mining platform I have used, bar none. You wont regret giving it a try! The dev team is excellent and constantly working to improce. The support team is incomparable, there is always someone willing to help and they care about a good customer experience.

Any updates on this? I plan on buying the OS tonight and giving it a try once my GPU's come in. I work with a couple guys who have used it and say it is really good.

JANUARY UPDATE: 2.4.2: More Stability, Smaller Image
PiMP-2.4.2-all and other updates were released this month to roll up fixes for stability, especially for pimps that were having trouble imaging or verifying their keys. Discord and other help resources now load right on the GUI desktop for our new miners to have easy access to the help they need.

By popular request, we also turned on previous released versions for all customers to download to help those working with older or more stubborn equipment. Check your getpimp.org "My Downloads" section for all the links.

We are continuously adding support for more miners, coins, algorithms and confs, so keep your eye on pimpup, Discord, and the forum, and let us know what you need and we will do our best!

PiMP has many useful troubleshooting tools that can help you solve your problems with your rigs.  Many miners use PiMP to troubleshoot even if they run Windows!  Just boot your rig up with PiMP to do quick discovery of issues with our collection of diagnostic tools.

Here is a video that shows how to turn on logging, paste configs to other people, and run diagnostics: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/23/how-to-get-help-the-troubleshooting-tools

Hello Crypto world and PiMPs around the globe

Welcome to the new year and what a year it has been.
Pimp as a company came so far in the past year from being in the shadow of other Operating systems to what it has become today a full heavy full OS that kicks ass.

This being said there have been many changes in the background of PiMP aswell.
With the coming of a full support team , beta team  ,upgrade to discord as a main chat medium and active forums.
There have been a number of changes also in the Admin section of PiMP.

With all this positive news it is with a heavy heart that I must take my leave from this crew.
This choice has been made on my own after a month of putting things on a scale.
I personally would like to end this on a positive note because I care much for the original crew and the work that has been done giving you guys one of the best choices a miner could need for there choice in what they want to run on there rig.

Why would you leave is a question I got , well to answer that I need to disclose a bit of personal info.
Last year was also a year that I changed my day job (yes all the work that has been done was besides this ) and also they offered me a study to follow, this next to the Family matters.
As you can imagine this is more then a day holds in hours so every day was a tight squeeze.

Last but never the less not least I would personally like to thank Melt and Lily for putting there trust in me and that we could lay the foundation to what pimp is today.

I will NOT leave the crypto world and you can always contact me on the many places I have a presence in and who knows where the road takes me next it certainly is a great age to be a miner.

Is there a tool like GPUZ where I can find the memory type of my 580x or do I need to use windows?

What is the recommended method for remote management of rigs with pimp os installed? TeamViewer or some other software?

I'm currently running simpleminer on one rig and expanding my farm by 4-6 more rigs.
The catch is they are all going to be in a different state, 5 hours away.

Simpleminer works but lacks support and slow feature adoption. Pimp os seems like a perfect fit for what I need if you can remote manage the rigs. Maybe that's where miner.farm comes into play? I need tot be able to remotely set profiles, reboot etc.

Major Release! Nvidia/AMD Combo Rigs! DECEMBER UPDATE

Happy Holiday's, Crypto Miners!
We have been excited to welcome a great burst 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.

Forum Highlights:
Category: Unsolved (https://forum.getpimp.org/unsolved) There is a new "Unsolved" button right at the top so you can see questions that were asked and still needing some help, or ongoing concerns and investigations! Any information can help, and you might see your question there too, so you will want to check this often.

Also there are brand new 1080p video guides for both New pimps getting started, and helpme / troubleshooting, check those videos out on the forum: Getting Started -> Quickstart topic, and the Troubleshooting -> How to troubleshoot your rig topic.

NEW! Beta Team Business Tips:
Autoswitching is something that a lot of new miners ask for. The pro miners know that this seems great but it is not. The pros want you to know that the goal is to keep as many rigs mining as much as possible. Any automatic switching or changing when you manage many rigs causes loss of profit due to downtime. They say: Calculate your profit based on the numbers and don't forget to factor labor costs, payout schedules, etc. in when you are making decisions about your farm.

UPCOMING CONTESTS….
Post your rig in the Rig Showcase on the forum with photos, settings, and hashrates. We will be giving out prizes for some new categories in the coming months!

Hey @VaidasJ, thanks for reaching out! PiMP supports up to 20 GPUs in the software. In terms of what the hardware and linux support, that's something else. I'm not particularly sure about that specific board, but if you want to join us over in our Discord server, we'd be happy to help you out there! https://discord.gg/rgRbAhF
