Huh?

This is not a political thread.

So please don't make it that.


This is a good piece of gear.  It is ½ the size of a normal  gpu miner.

and for some people  changing from Chinese to their language will not be easy.

The lack of a "real legit"  windows enterprise LTSB key  is Microsofts choice .

Simply because of the way they structure  enterprise keys.

I do believe I can up grade from  enterprise LTSB to enterprise  and purchase a legit enterprise key.

I do not have a problem with that.

The gear has mined ZEC very well for me.

I would like to have this with three msata ssds.
 1)oem 
 2) oem cloned and upgraded to Enterprise not Enterprise LTSB
 3) linux  with improved roms.

ZEC works well
ETH crashes
XMR not tested
EOS not tested



OS + management + monitoring + roms (auto flash) is almost done, give me a few days and it'll be good to go!

Greetings!

Mining equipment is quite another
it does not pass certification ..

  Well, my point is poor QA assurance from panda miner or any company from american, chinese or timbucktu are usually are from new start up. Just hope if the rom/firmware can fix the language issue.. if it dont a change of the main board or return for a newer version of miner.  sounds like inventory control shipped a few "prototypes" by accident.. i heard that excuse before..   

and for your information im a registered independent and Obama is a good president

 i quoted "from my experiences from using other Chinese hardware" I was referring to routers and point of sales devices i installed and serviced that are from china "lenovo" and others. Software  in varies countries are not affected but a year ago , alot of pre install software like windows, linux, ect ect had language issues here in California..  especially the routers .. I dont think your mining industry is any different

maybe philipma1957 haves a prototype model of his miner.. from my experiences from using other Chinese hardware, software varies from one week to another. sometimes its best if your planing to buy a few is to buy all at once so software differences are minimal  
do not know how in English ...
but in Russian it 's called - stupid and not wise
philipma1957 haves not prototype model miner this series
you just do not realize that only 4-5 % of ALL miners gets into the whole world.
everything is done for CHINA
any miners equipment
and I was especially funny when they saw that the window 10 is not a license
Only in the United States think about it

PS/ say hello to Obama Trump cure you

Case should have been made in form of Panda
hey do not owe anything to anyone
  all products are China
Only by chance it is in Rosiii incredible price of my efforts and remember that the cost to beg on the demo test in the United States


there is even a child who realizes in the computer will be able to download any language that is needed

installed ANY language with no problem to Pandaminer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKUQMje4--Q

I followed that and did get an English pack to install.

However there is a lot of Chinese mixed in plus a tiny bit of French.

I think I hit a wrong setting to get that French.

I am still waiting for a part to make a full clone of the msata ssd.

Once I have a full clone. I will Report back on if I can upgrade from enterprise LTSB to just


window 10 enterprise. I have a source for a real key for that build.

I just did a build from win 10 pro to win 10 enterprise. And I activated with a enterprise key.

That was on a z270 that I am reviewing for newegg.

So I may be able to fully activate the panda miner to windows 10 enterprise legit and legal


you are doing something wrong !!!
Where did the French, if you put the English?
I made 10 pieces pandamayner of Chinese in English and Russian.
Remain in Chinese only file names.

I think I have done the ENG pack but its still mostly Mandarin to me.


Guys - I missed major part on difficulties with Win 10 Ent and language packs.

But reading Russian forum I did not notice that.

They installed Russia language with no problem



perhaps there is a one string CLI verbose mode that does this changes automatically rather than trying to navigate the GUI and do trial and error

Phil -- did you see if the windows build had been pre-setup with 16GB windows virtual memory -- to support Claymore miners?

I tried to navigate control panel but get stuck halfway due to language pack - its really 50-50% guess game for me. I think I have done the ENG pack but its still mostly Mandarin to me.


Here is some command that should help.

open a command prompt, and use.

Code:
systeminfo |find "Memory"

you should get the memory infos in that form

Total Physical Memory:     12,279 MB
Available Physical Memory: 6,397 MB
Virtual Memory: Max Size:  24,556 MB
Virtual Memory: Available: 15,696 MB
Virtual Memory: In Use:    8,860 MB

or with regedit

Code:
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v PagingFiles

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
    PagingFiles    REG_MULTI_SZ    c:\pagefile.sys 20000 32000

You can also use the regedit mode to change the settings.

Code:
REG add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v "PagingFiles" /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "C:\pagefile.sys 0 0" /f

you can change the pagefile location, also the numbers are "starting virtual memory" & "max virtual memory"

hope it helps Smiley

At stock settings, benchmarking shows 27.596 MH/s for ETH and 209 H/s for each card.

Not bad for stock settings.


These are not a stock settings - the cards in Panda Miner are already with modded roms

Yup, you are right. Eliovp did report that the GPUs were already modded before he further did some mod improvements.

yes I think  .975 volts  vs 1.050  stock

Tried Niceheash Windows Miner v 1.7.3.11 -- running normally - will run overnight to see if it can hold.

During installation, required .NET 3.5 installation as prerequisite.

GPU benchmark listed only Dagger-Hashimoto and Equihash coins.

Strange - running this NH miner on normal rig lists more than this 2 algorithms.

However, if you choose to also include CPU mining, it will list more algos like LYRA2RE, HODL and Cryptonite.

This version supports 3rd party miners like latest versions of Claymore ETH and ZEC miners.

At stock settings, benchmarking shows 27.596 MH/s for ETH and 209 H/s for each card.

Not bad for stock settings.

This NH Windows Miner is probably the most easiest to set up and ideal for mining newbies.
