Topic: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. - page 77. (Read 80183 times)

I saw all the buzz and traction coming, so I bought right at +25% and rode it all the way until now...  Went over +100%, then backed off... but its still close to +75% so I am happy

phil or citronick , did you guys get involved in the BTG mess today?  Or did you avoid it till things settle?

Uh... I have GQ cables... Hope they'll be compatible... Otherwise I'll have to plug the sixth GPU into my HTPC!

Nicehash price is rising 24k sols is now paying 135 or so

I bet when the premine ends and mining begings for real we will see tripple these prices

Thanks QuintLeo. Any working pool for btg as you know? any recommendations?

 450 is reasonable for a GTX 1070 at a fairly high TDP.
 Not sure on the 570, my 470 models that's about where they end up at so should be about right.

 G2 cables exchange across all models *EXCEPT* the G2L stuff.

 Not sure otherwise, as all of my EVGA supplies are G2 models.

Anyone has any idea the expected hashrate for Vega 56, rx 570 and 1070?

Mine is only 420 for vega 56, 450 for 1070 and 270 for rx 570. Is this right?

@phil

youll probably like this: we are about the pull the trigger on a ground mounted 6 kilowatt solar array with suntracking.  20 cell system with two axis tracking on a single mast. we will almost certainly add a second 6k system identical to that down the line. it will have net metering, so i wont sell back to the electric co, it will just add and subtract power cost as we go.

they are booked out till may next year though so may 2018 it will go in.

Apparently they are still premining until block 499407. That's 8000 blocks premined since the fork. Why are we still so excited about this?

figures suprnova crashing lol

In the IT world that's known as the "thundering herd." In this case all pools are being slammed with miners trying to be the first to strike it big in BTG.

It may take a while for the pools to be able to handle all the miners. Be patient...

Anyone using cryptonight these days? I'm still switching between equihash coins zen and zec but feel it doesn't make a difference.

Well @ launch suprnova doesnt seem to be working for me..

Ok ok ok I see. Had a hard time figuring out the specs, as they're not very clearly listed (well they are, but not clear enough for me ). Thanks for the offer, but I've got some spare EVGA periph/molex cables from my other EVGA PSUs. Should work out fine.

I remember the Juvia blocks (and knew the Juvia reference before you explained it...  ) , and wondered where you'd disappeared to. I had tried to mine there, but had issues, so my miners have floated around a bit. They were mining on ck's latest pool (see my sig) to help sort it out, but I just moved them to ViaBTC to try that out for a while.

I was mining with them at ck's new pool. I think he's got a good payout idea/plan in his new pool software, but he doesn't have enough hash rate to find blocks in a reasonable amount of time, so the pool hash rate jumps up and down, usually between 500 TH and 1.5 PH as miners come and go. Luckily I was there and fully vested, so to speak, when the pool found it's only block to date.




I'm with Phil on that PHILosophy, too. BTC is great, but I made my stake in LTC. It's funded my other stakes, miners, and now WTT tokens so I can host miners at a place with cheap electricity. My next miner upgrade is to buy two 1070Ti cards (one EVGA hybrid that Phil recommends/uses, and a Zotac Mini) to mine equihash coins (ZenCash for now, until there is a sane/safe BTG wallet). It'll be a step up from my single R7-370 which has long since reached ROI when it was mining ETH.


Nice that Antpool made the change. That makes it more equitable for the miners, especially in a world where transaction fees per block are growing.

no you would be short     1 molex 

it has 2 molex cables  you need 3

it has 4 sata cables    you need 3


it has 4x   2 headed pcie  8+6  that is 4 1080ti's

it has 5x  1 headed pcie 8 pin  that is 2 1080 ti's

so you have 1 extra pcie 8 pin

it has 2 cpu    you need 1

so you have 1 extra

and the 1x 24 pin

I may have a molex for you.

Phil/Citronick

Would a single EVGA Supernova 1600 G2 have enough connectors for six Vega 56's (with 8+6 PCIe connectors), as well as the 3 sata and 3 molex connectors on the Onda D1800? I'm struggling to understand the specs of the PSU. And buying additional splitters and cables gets quite annoying when those brands prevent you from using third party cables...

Same I got into some btg at $150 and sold last night around $420. Worked out very well.
