Topic: [XMR] What Hardware and Software do you use to mine the MONERO XMR - page 4. (Read 49117 times)

I used to use AMD HD 7970 to mine the Monero. But it is not as profitable as mining Ethereum. I am mining Ethereum.

Botnet 

Just kidding...

Waiting for next dumping video.

It would be a huge benefit to mankind if proof of work could be accomplished by generating usable power, rather than by consuming it.  Inverse hash-cash is a much better mining incentive, and overcomes the centralizing influences of scale created by hash-cash.  I seriously doubt this can be done, given the laws of thermodynamics as we know them, but hey, one can never invent if one blinker's one's fancy.

That's my thinking.  Mining operation with free electric.  How sweet that would be.

Not to mention you could start a whole business building these for people to install at their homes, business, or even putting these in cars or tractors.  The possibilities are endless.

Mainly mining though.

Yeah dude, I got into this a while back - in general, I think high RPM magnetism will open up a lot of doors.

What're you thinking - we start a monero fund drive to build one of these, then we set up a mining operation?

I know this is way off topic but has anybody here ever built a Searl generator or have info on how to build one?   If you want to know more then I put a link here.  But you can google it for expanded learning.

Before coming at me with the law of thermal dynamics and why it will never work, please think outside of 3D physics and closed loop circuits because this tech does work on 4th dimension thinking and laws of the universe.  

This free energy source has been suppressed for years by the ruling cabal on this planet because they control all the oil, coal and nuclear rods for electric generation.  I've talked with my uncle about this and he is an electrical engineer and he already knew it was possible.  He spent many years in the environmental industry here in the US and told me that in the past when some physicist would come to the plate with this tech they would be shut down and threatened by the powers that be.

I tried to get him interested in building a small scale generator with me but he does not have any interest.  Well he is in the middle of a nasty divorce so that is occupying his time.

The planet as a whole is in dire need of this tech and it could only make things better for humanity, plus I'd like to run my miners off of it and never pay for electric again.  Maybe I'd get shot for trying but to put it bluntly, fuck the cabal and their rapping and economic enslavement of the people of this earth.  Time for a change.  

Ok thanks for any info you guys might have.  You can PM me.  

Yeah.

Until monero moons!!! ( gufaw ). But yes - I generally try find a middle ground between wanting decentralized mining and wanting to build a monster rig to mine tons of monero for myself.

You can't ever pay for the hardware that way (on top of $1250-ish for the GPUs, add $480 for the motherboard, plus CPU, memory, and PSU). Even with low end CPUs and minimal RAM that is going to be $3K or more, so 5000 days to break even. But if you have some other use for a server like that, mining is a good way to get some extra value out of it. That's what I do with my servers. Mining as an add-on activity to reduce operating and ownership cost. Desktops, servers, etc. That's where to go with it.

I've owned a few Supermicro boards and never had any issues with them

This board is huge but its a miner dream board.

Cheapest I've seen the board is $479 on Amazon

Just for one 12 core processor it will cost $2,600 for a high end chip.  

This build if taken to its potential would be an easy $10K or more.   If I built a beast miner off of this board I'd liquid cool all of it (CPU, GPU and Math Co-Processor) so I could really push the imagined hardware to its limits.  Anybody have $15K they want to give me in the form of a grant? LOL

11 PNY 750 ti's = 3 kh , 330 watts

11 PNY 750 ti's = $1100 - $1430

-- droool ---

2.7 xmr / day

at 10 cents / kwh, 330 watts is $0.792

at currend USD val, thats 60 cents / day in "profit"

Is that url broken? I can't see what you're referring to. thanks.

I found my dream mining Motherboard today.

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/712...iew/index.html

11x PCI Slots 24 Core CPU via 2 Intel Xeons up to 1 TB RAM

Can you imagine 11 GPU's hashing and 20 CPU cores hashing with 4 cores running the system. Oh I need a cash infusion badly. One can dream :-)

No solo mining.  I've never been good with command line stuff.  Hardware is my specialty. I need the command line for dummies book LOL.

I'm gonna try this rig out some time soon.  If this rig were to run Linux then the price would be far lower as you wouldn't need as much RAM and the SSD could be smaller or cut out all together as you could run Linux on a USB stick.  Still would have the option to add on a GPU for additional mining.  I think this would make a great node, wallet, simple miner for someone wanting to support the network.  If you had 100 of these units using the new simple miner that is supposed to be in the 8.8.7 release then this could really help out the distribution and help decentralize the network.

350 H/s with 5 cores AMD FX at 4 Ghz. Can't get more by firing up the other 3 cores.
Claymore CryptoNote CPU Miner v3.4 Beta - POOL with -nofee 1  switch.
The good thing is, I can play Left 4 Dead 2 while mining (the Steam engine uses only 2 cores).
The bad thing is, if I stop the miner to do some heavy work with the processor (video transcoding usually) it needs to reboot the computer, or it goes to "slow mode".
Is there a way to flush the L3 cache in Windows 7, so this will not happen?

I forgot... I have an HD7850 graphics card too, but since it does only 230 H/s I tend to forgot 

You are welcome, and thank you for your post in here!!!
So you tend not to solomine with your rig?
Keep on hashing 

Your rig is so neat, good job !
It makes me want to build rigs again.

Thanks elrippo for pointing me here.

My rig has been running since September last year. Has been very stable.  The rig is pulling about 3KH/s on average at about 1050 watts from the wall.  Just ordered an i5 Intel CPU so I can mine a little with CPU on this rig.  

- 6x R9 280x
- Windows 8
- 2x Thermaltake 1200watt PSU's
- 8GB RAM
- SSD
- ASRock H81 BTC Mother Board
- Claymore 9.1 for GPU
- Celeron CPU

I also have a gaming machine I run as a miner when I'm not on it. I have an AMD FX8150 8 core CPU and that does about 300H/s with just 6 of 8 threads running. Run Claymore for CPU.
I also have 2 older SLI'ed Nvidia GTX560's that run CCMiner for GPU and they pull about 220-280H/s combined. So I pull an extra 500-550 H/s when this gaming machine is running.

mining with 3 rigs curently.

4x 7970 - 2200h/s (undervolted)
3x 280x - 1600h/s (stock)
2x 280x - 1100h/s (stock)

total power draw is about 980w

holding all my mined xmr for now.
