I just installed a fresh Windows 10 2016 LTSB Enterprise with my own key. Copied, the miner binariese back to the panda miner. Everything is working great now since 7 days. So no worry to reinstall the machine it will work again without any special modification Cheesy

Now its time to switch to the linux version and see what I can do there with it Wink

By the way, I'm mining monero and got a stable hashrate from 5970 h/s.

sgminer can go higher than 6khs but that on Linux....

6400 @ 880 watt stable as a rock over here..

Phil and citronick,

Basically as a summary - with existing software Panda Miner is useless for mining most profitable right now ETH coin. Am I right?

ETH is still most profitable but net-net will eat into profits because mining ETH consumes more power.

ZEC and XMR consumes less power and currently XMR profit is higher than ZEC.

IMHO, the roadmap for this 2 coins is more promising for XMR.

So I think I will bet on the XMR horse.

My only Panda is mining XMR, together with my other rigs (390s/Nanos/480s).

Today, thanks to my friend who has interesting converter tools, came to visit today and take a look at the Panda, I managed to replace the msata with another msata with Linux build (not Eliovp's since its not ready yet).

My friend also brought along a 4U chassis which he wanted me to help him build a 6x480 rig. Will report on this later.

Under Linux, this Panda is a hashing beast, even for a non-Claymore miner. I use sgminer-gm v5.5.4 to mine XMR because Claymore hasnt released his RX-optimised miner. Results are below and the temps are unbelievable - I think the current fans are too strong with no controls unless you change the fan to a proper 4-pin power connector. I think Phil is working on this.

SM-Linux/sgminer-gm v5.5.4 mining XMR at dashminer.com, with Panda's rom mod.

Eliovp's rom mod will surely pull this Panda much higher and even lower power.

The temps are fantastic and my warehouse averages 38c during the day.

yes I let it run for 3 hours with a hashrate of 237mh/s

Don't use the latest Claymore Miner 9.7 this seems not to work very stable with the panda miner

Could you get a stable mining on ETH? Let's say 4-5 hours?

im mining eth right now at 230 eth. ran for 12 hours no crashes yet

That is interesting. Did you do activation, language pack installation, drivers updates or just start mining?

Both Phil and citronick have similar issue with crashing miner while ETH mining. And both of them had a difficulties with language pack.

lang pack install, was a bitch because i don't read Chinese, then deleted all of their stuff and transferred my copies on usb of claymores zcash / eth and monero and started mining. I just cant get claymore ethman to see it.

Just to be clear.
I'm definitely not interested in making this public, if you want an OS that's equally as good or perhaps even better i would suggest to go for either
Ethosdistro or PiMP.
They both have an awesome community and offer great support.
I do not.

Plus, this is not designed to support any other system besides the Pandaminer.

Can you elaborate on "I'm definitely not interested in making this public" ? Are you saying that you're going to only sell this software or are you saying that you're only going to sell it along with a panda miner you modified?

I missed a few pages of this post so this question may be answered already but I'm looking for clarification. I know I saw somewhere there was talk about reselling pandaminers you modified.

Great Work on this btw

The same question.

That is correct.
I will only distribute this together with a panda miner.

I cant get Claymore's ethman to see these miners. No matter what I do. Anyone get that going and if so how the hell did you do that?

I can confirm that DEL key will get you into the BIOS setup screen. Num Lock is on by default so if you have a compact keyboard then maybe it interferes with your DEL key?
There is something funky about the VIDEO/HDMI ports...as Eliovp has hinted at.
or maybe it was the monitor I was using... but basically once I boot past Grub, my screen is blank.
Somehow I fiddled with the BIOS setting and was able to boot up with Clonezilla live to capture the original image.
It's mining away so I'll muck with it later.
You can convert the image to fully english...minus a few filenames and the audio driver, which still appears in Chinese.
Good thing Malwarebytes didn't find anything...

A big thx to PiMP and Ethosdistro.
I combined the best of those two Operating Systems and learned a lot from them.

Impressive.... can you show how the selecting the miner works on the dashboard?

Apart from Claymore for ETH and ZEC, I also use sgminer-gm for XMR.

Depending on profitability of the 3 coins, how easy is it to switch from one coin to the other with miner of you choice?

Of course,

Change Miner
Select one

Sgminer is obviously included Wink

With Claymore if you have watchdogs causing crashes you sometimes have to turn down the intensity. You will also see this at times if you have overclocked GPU's. But since you have not modified the ROM's yet I would try turning down the intensity.

claymore 9.3 at 6 intensity is pretty much flawless for zec

the dip was when I switched to eth which crashes

here is the panda on eth it crashes in 1 to 2 hours

oh I just got me an uncle
