Can we get a miners' general thread going?

I'll sell you a rx470 red devil discreetly for 8 LTC.

>>2566563

How'd you know what motherboards are compatible with running more than 2 graphics cards? I'd like to build a 6 GPU rig eventually but I don't know how to choose a motherboard.

Also do you need extra PSU's once you go above a certain number of GPU's?

>>2566609
Amount of pcie slots and how much power each slot can handle.

>>2566563
You don't have a general because mining is shit. I build rigs and resell them to morons like >>2566609 who can barely operate a computer outside of pressing the on button, and trying to get into the market while it's being flooded. I built a $1500 rig and sold it for $2700 just two days ago, and a few days before that, $1200 for $2000. Plugging your magic mine box into the wall won't print your bill payments for you, even comparable to your wagecuck job it's still shit, unless you manage to swing a major custom-ASIC/Scrypt minor for retail price during peak times, or gain access to a large network of computers with spare HDD space and mine BURST (school computer labs will work for this, unlike CPU/GPU mining, all you need is a hefty HDD). But good luck, the L3+ is on backorder for 3 months at $800 above MSRP from retailer, $3000 over MSRP second hand.

Let the gooks have their mining farms, I'd rather make upwards of a grand a week selling these steaming hot piles of metallic shit to morons and invest it then make 30% gains in two days than burn my house down scraping an imaginary system that nobody in the real world gives a shit about for pajeets imaginary online fun money.

>>2566563
I was looking into building a rig last weekend and here's what I found out.

At current speeds/prices, it only takes about 3 months to break even on a rig mining eth. The amount of profit will go down over time unless the price keeps mooning. Pretty much all GPUs are sold out and are being resold for huge markups.

>>2566676
>mined 1000 euro worth of ethereum on my rig last month
>my country's average salary is 500 euro
>tfw can not work and just sell however much i need to live on and flip the rest
Its pretty comfy anon i dunno why you're so angry.

>>2566715
If your countries electrcity prices are relatively cheap its a good idea to have a miner.

But you need a large space to put it in or an AC

That's imo tho.

>>2566563
How much would it cost to set up a great rig to mine enough to make a good profit? How many thousands?

>>2566754
my rig i bought 45 days ago's cost was 2000 euro(bought it off a guy parts price is probably around 1500) 6x RX 580

>>2566715
Something I have not taken into consideration as an amerilard who cannot think outside of his own borders, probably worth it in a smaller country since it can be exchanged against USD. My apologies anon

>>2566777
$2000 is a steal for that now. If you can even find 580s in stock, they're usually about $500 USD or more. You could flip that on ebay for $6000 USD or so very quickly.

Hold on to your nuts boys, Nvidia is releasing two mining cards (as a fuck you to AMD). It is based on the 106 (i.e. GTX 1060) and 104 (i.e. GTX 1070) architecture. These cards should run 200 usd for former and 350 for the latter. They are completely headless. The 106 should do 25 MH/s (Ethash) and someone who can't get their meds right is saying that 104 could to up to 60 MH/s. Add this to 3 month warranty. tl;dr - Nvidia is releasing a repackaged headless garbage cards, claiming superior performance, no resale chance and a shorter warranty for marginal improvement in the Ethash rate.

>>2566803
Yes I'm aware. we were lucky when we bought a few miners.
I'm not selling it tho im mining like 1000 euro worth a month i really don't see why i'd sell it.

>>2566676
Faggot. I built my own gaming PC two years ago, I know full well how to use a computer. There's a difference between building a standard PC and setting up a mining rig with multiple GPUs.

However not all of us are autistic faggots who do nothing but spend their lives jacking off over their superior Linux version 7.2.3 super computer.

>>2566833
Isn't AMD also releasing mining cards?
heard something about that.

>>2566777
That's not bad. I have really been considering mining. I have the money to get a great rig.

Why buy the crypto at an inflated rate when I can spend one initial investment and mine to my hearts content? It seems the most logical thing to do. Day trading crypto is not for me.

>>2566833
>>2566866

"The Nvidia GP106-100 mining GPUs will not be available on the regular market to the regular users apparently, they are going to be sold only in large volume to big customers such as cloud mining companies like Genesis Mining and/or other big private mining operations. So the whole thing should not make any difference to smaller home miners as they are most likely not going to be able to get their hands on the hardware anyway."

>>2566849
Not saying you should, just saying you could. When the difficulty jumps and prices go to shit, or PoS enables on ETH (and if you don't want to switch to another coin, assuming you're mining ETH) you'll still probably make a profit purely on the hardware alone.

>>2566853
>I built my own gaming computer
An autistic monkey could build that. There's no excuse for getting into a hardware-dominated market [mining] where a small difference in something like the quality of a connection or a few ticks on the mem/core clock could net you extra dollars per day, and not knowing what a fucking pcie slot is.

>>2566914
Oh yeah that's the plan
either selling it or just moving to another GPU coin to mine.
:3

>>2566866
desu I am disappointed in AMD. Whatever the fuck is up with the memory shortages is not going to get resolved with repackaged mining cards as they cannot get their models in stock for a while. Yes, they are having a c-section with the Vega but it is as far as I am aware a new architecture. I am not expecting them to be power efficient. So probably no for vega in mining. If they try to repackage RX580s a la nvidia then they can just fuck off. Probably the best thing that NVidia or AMD can do is just put a team to improve their drivers for the current cards. Anything else is just a pipe dream.

>>2566950

rx 570 powercolor red devil edition, is there anything that tops its performance? Mining UBIQ atm

>>2567001
i wouldn't know
im running at 175 megahashes with 6x580's
(ethereum mining)

>>2566676
I have built mining site half a year ago, and currently i'm pulling more than 200$ a day, where realistic average monthly salary around here is 700$. I admit building miners today is pretty crap, but if you're in a game for a while it is a steady money printing machine.

>>2566563
I got a 6950 Saphire 2gb to do 350Mh/s which is dogshit, but hey I got it for free.

>>2566914
How does it feel to corner the market of autistic gaming mokeys?

If I want to start mining some shitcoin will it be worth it do it with my gaming PC? Talking like CANN or something equivalent. RX480 with 12gb ddr4

>>2567024
you should be getting 5-10 more than that with 580s. I'd venture to say about 185.

>>2567001
powercolor is shit. if you're looking at the refurbs for sale on newegg, don't. Probably come from pajeets mining farm anyway and they're so far over msrp it's retarded.

>>2567101
nah i tried everything thats the barrier
it starts hard locking at 180 and im not autistic enough to restart it once a day.

Is there still a point in mining with an old 7850 1GB I have? I stopped in 2014 and now it seems very different. What's this thing with needing +2GB? Electricity is free for me.

>>2567089
I'd take a dead old lady's money from her purse before I called 911 to report her stroke

so, factoring that in, pretty good since they're making me about a grand a week right now (before investing)

>>2567117
Mine Zcash or Siacoin

Stop with the mining you retarded fuckers
I can't even build a damn PC cause i have to wait for out of stock graphics

>>2567117
Eth DAG file is above 2GB which means without special coding for your miner you need at least a 3GB vidya card.

>>2566563

Rich Indian dude at work is going to mine ETH or BTC. His uncle is letting him use the freezer in his convenience store for servers with free electricity. He offered to let me go half on the graphics cards or w/e.

Is it worth it? I have no idea how to mine etc, just interested in being a silent partner.

>>2566753
ACing that room will drive up electricity use further. Just live in a cold dry climate and open a window

>>2567191
yea but my electricity is dirt cheap.
also i have an AC cause i like to CHILL

>>2567184
LAWL. In the freezers? Are you fucking stupid? Besides everyone is looking for cards. You wont get any.

>>2567184
probably not. But after reading Sia whitepaper, and you speculate it's going to 1-$5 then it might be worth it. Ethereum definitely seems like a ponzi scheme now that I understand how it works

>>2567263
Ethereum is definitely a Ponzi Scheme. He is actually switching to Proof of Stake so that he can throw his Giant Market Cap into the Engine and generate his own Money.

Smart autist that guy. Bamboozling Hordes of 4Chan Morons.

>>2567236

It's not an actual freezer, it's the part of the store where they cool drinks to be sold.

Guys can we think about what all the miners are going to do once ETH goes PoS. Which coin will they all migrate to? Will a coin secretly be pushed by AMD and nVid to boost demand for their cards?

Why haven't we seen a CPU coin being heavily pushed (by Intel, secretly) I imagine it would add to their bottom line. They also heavily promote scientific computing so researchers will buy their cores.

>>2567361
The Ethereum Autist will purposely destroy the currency by creating Gigantic interest for Rich People that ends up hurting everyone else who is not Rich.

Everyone will abandon ship and this will create Opportunity for other Currencies to come in and take over.

>>2567427

So there is no way to join a Staking pool, you can literally only stake from you account? Like the top 25 accounts will get 99.99% of the ETH

>>2567622
If the Ethereum Autist actually does own 30% or more of the Currency like everyone is saying then no wonder he is pushing Proof of Stake so hard...

He is the one who stands to gain the most out of it. Pool or not, the #1 Holder of the Currency would get the most Interest out of it.

Sounds like a pretty clear motivation to me.

Also have you considered the possibility that this Ethereum Autist will bring the Government to Crypto when they find out people are making HUGELY ILLEGAL Interest Rates?

As far as I know in America the Maximum Interest Rate is 20% Per Year... What if he creates a System that is giving 100% Per Year?

He might be the Destroyer of Crypto.

>>2567775
>Implying that Americas laws mean fuck all to the rest of the world.

The rest of the world don't care, really we don't.

>>2567808
You will care when that American Money goes away.

>>2567816

>>2567951

What are those hs drops? What am I doing wrong?
gtx 1060 3bg palit stormx @ 60-65C, 50 core clock, 870 memory clock, 65 power limit. Power souce is fine and strong, holds 12v lines easy. Newest drivers, windows 10. Any advice? Cards drop hashrate randomly, GPU 0 dropping more than others, and they go back to usual hashrate right away. Any advice?

>>2568197
You should be using Integrated Graphics for your Video.

If you don't have Integrated Graphics then the Graphics Card is rendering Windows therefore creating a Slowdown in the Hashrate.

My girlfriend is Mining with 6 GTX 1070s and is playing World of Warcraft on the same Computer with Integrated.

No Lag and a Stable Hashrate.

Today I set up UBIQ mining, but it completely clogs my PC for some reason, unlike every other miner I've tried so far for other coins.

It's the Claymore one.

Getting around 18MH/s with my underclocked GTX 970, but no UBIQ has even been counted yet:
https://ubiqscan.io/en/address/0xDc550f4cB5401362f5FDA720367951019759F7c8

Maybe I need to let it run longer to be recognized by the network.

>>2568245
1. How do I do it then and
2. Why different cards drop their hashrate then? I thought only GPU 0 should if it's the case. Besides, there is no HDMI or anything plugged into those cards, just using teamviewer.

If a guide existed, that would be great.

I planned to make a guide for generals for newbies but I'm such a lazy shitter, maybe one day anon I'll find the willpower to do it.

>>2568361
Well let's figure it out then. Do you have Discord?

I got someone covering my electricity bill. How feasible would it be to get a GPU that can be used for both mining and gaming and break even on mining so I basically get a free GPU?

>>2568447
The Electricity Cost should be literally nothing... then again my Electric is so cheap. I only pay $.08/KwH (Poor Foreign Communist Bastards).

You really ought to pay your dues. What kind of person makes money and then doesn't pay the expense to run it?

>>2566803
>You could flip that on ebay for $6000 USD or so very quickly
No he couldn't. Just because scalpers are listing things for retarded prices doesn't mean there are retards willing to actually pay those prices.

It's part of a contract, so I don't see any issues with it. Obviously I don't wanna abuse it too much.

Is bitcoin mining still profitable?

Is the investmen just as big as you want? In terms of power I mean.

I wanted to test the waters with an old computer or a Raspberry Pi but I guess that would be pretty much useless.

Ohh I got it. So the Electricity is included. Well sure man!

It is extremely profitable but Bitcoin is a Dead Horse. Great place to move your Money but Mining does absolutely nothing.

whattomine.com will give you some information on what to do depending on your Machine and the Hashrate on chosen Algorithms.

to me it wasn't even back in 2013 and didn't look back on it till now.

Well that's alright man. Have you tried Overclocking your GTX 1060 3GBs?

I could give you my Stable Overclock Numbers for that Card if you like.

>>2568768
How to mine* directly from sia UI

>>2568775
As stated above, 50 core clock, 870 memory clock, 65 power limit. 100 core clock was too much for 65 power limit so I lowered it with no major impact on ethash hashrate. It used to work for days sometimes, but randomly, some problems appear. this one being the most frequent.

And sure I'd like to take a look at numbers that work for you.

Oh, and the motherboard is z97 sabertooth, if it can be a source for some of the problems.

Good thread, just finished building a 7 card rig yesterday, its been dual mining Ethereum/Siacoin for the past 24 and its stable as fuck while doing 217Mh/s for Ethereum and 2300Mh/s for Siacoin drawing 930w from the wall.

Well I am just wondering why you would use that piece of shit Claymore made. It has no faster Hashrate than Ethminer.

He claims it can mine 2 different Currencies at the same time at no speed cost but it isn't true.

Would Ethminer get more reliable results? Going to have to try it I think.

A/B Testing!

>>2568937
Sweet man. I want to keep growing. Grats on your new System. 930W is a very low number... are you using GTX 1060s?

I know the 1070s would get you some pretty high Power Consumption.

>>2569089
Thanks! using 7 gigabyte GTX1070 founders edition, with nvOC as the OS, i limit their power to 120w per card and overclock them to +200 for the core and +1600 for the memory, very stable overall.

>>2569122
Probably using one of them Top-End PSUs too.

For me I am running 12/2 (w/Ground) Direct Burial Electric Cable from the Breaker Box to each Computer with a 20 Amp Breaker.

Gives an 80% Utilization Max of 1920W which gives enough Headroom for almost anything I want to do at insane Overclocks.

Might be something you want to consider. In many ways New Wiring CAN BE safer if done properly.

It's true but for AMD card, if you have nvidia cards don't use claymore miner, and in fact don't even mine ethereum, there are better cryptos for nvidia.

>>2569329
>>2569329
That looks exactly like mine. Sadly it's a little harder to read what is going on. The Benchmark is a lot more accurate than the actual Mining part.

I see you use Ethermine... if you keep it running for 24 Hours it will give you the sure numbers. Ethermine is REALLY GREAT with their Worker Statistics!

Either way, there's a Benchmark inside of the options. You'll just have to use the Benchmark Flag first.

>>2569365
I wasn't aware. Maybe I gave him an unfair shake then since I don't use AMD. Thank you for the information.

I'll be a little more careful about the shit I talk then!

Interesting, as for my power supply, i'm using an antec 1300w platinum, leaves plenty of overhead.

havent checked which cards are samsung memory and which are micron but i can make an educated guess based on the hash rates and temps of the cards.

i swear i have one card that i've yet to find its limit, i've already overclocked its memory by 2100 and its still around 6 degrees celsius cooler then the rest of them.. i'm a little scared of pushing it so high, can i damage it like this?

>>2569365
such as?
t. nvidia miner mining eth/sia

>>2569703
Ohh gotcha. You are running this as a BAT. Do it straight from the Command Prompt.

I bet it is giving you the Benchmark but then when the Program is done telling you what it is then it instantly closes the Window.

You probably should anyway. You can't trust what the Program says. I've used Programs that claim I am getting a certain Hashrate but then the numbers don't add up across Multiple Pools.

speaking of fees, I was using claymores for xmr and counted 25 of my hashes for every 10 of his.
turned off the dev fee, I'll take the slower hashes if it keeps that faggot from stealing anymore from me. His dev fee is only supposed to be 2.5%, not 40%. I mad.

Yes LBRY alone, the thing about LBRY is that power draw from your gpu can be limited by a large amount, for example I got a rig with 6 1080s drawing only 650w from wall, I also got a rig with 6 1060s to mine at merely 400w, the loss of performance is minimal compared to power savings.

Also LBRY imo has higher potential for gains than eth at this point, so you can't only look at current 24h profit, mine and hold has made me far more money than calculators would ever suggest.

A few years ago when ETH was under $10 I remember saying, "I'm a DIY'er, I'm not going to pay for something I can make myself!" So I build mining rigs and bought S7s which quickly rusted from the humidity. What I should have done was just bought $20,000 worth of ETH, which I could have easily done. Pic is mining room before all the ETH miners were running.

>>2570304
this is what I was looking for. Thank you senpai.
Have any experience with 470s by chance?

>>2570326
That's some sexy stuff man. I am kind of running into the same issue. I think I can make more Trading but I feel more comfortable with Mining.

>>2570333
Sorry brother. Haven't had an AMD Product in about 13 Years but that might change with the Threadripper coming out!

When will you fags stop raising GPU prices to a retarded degree?

>>2570326
I exactly know the feeling, I could have bought 1000 eth or mining rigs, picked mining rigs. But I made money either way, it was only lost opportunity.

Why are ASIC miners not widely used? I heard they're much more cost-effective than graphic cards, and are supported by a lot of altcoins, but it seems that people only talk about graphic cards.

Where's the trick?

>>2570406
ASIC Miners use a shitload of Power and produce almost no Money. By all Accounts Graphics Cards are more Cost-Effective.

You can only use ASIC on some Currencies and they all aren't worth shit to mine.

>>2570083
Well, I found it here:

>>2570383
As soon as eth drops next time.

>>2570406
Most modern cryptocurrencies are designed to be ASIC resistant, the algos are memory heavy and apparently that's either hard or not cost effective to implement ASIC on.

Just think about ethereum hashrate, GTX 1080 does far worse than GTX 1070 despite being a much faster gpu, the algo speed is just memory reliant, eth is especially memory timing reliant.

Here's my rig. Got about 6 more cards incoming.

I just got the nitro+ yesterday and it's by far the biggest and most expensive out of all 580s, but the piece of shit consistently mines 1mh less than the my cheapest card and consumes 10w more power.

>>2570406
Asics like antminer 3l+ should give a considerable amount of money here with cheap electricity, but you won't be to resell them later or use for any other purpose. They're harder to buy here, too, and incase your asic breaks down for some reason, you're knee-deep in shit, etc.

I found this one the other day, it's an eth miner so I don't think it can do xmr?
Thanks though, I should probably be mining eths instead of monero before that deadline in the next 2 months.

Is it worth to mine with
AMD Radeon R7 360

And what to mine ?

>>2570459
>As soon as eth drops next time.
When do you think that will happen?

If I could make 60$ a day that would be more than my wagecuck job.
My current 1080ti pulls out 10$ a day but I'm not sure it's the best cost efficient card and the idea of sinking 4k+$ into a rig is kind of especially if price drastically decreases over time.

>>2570526
check the eth mining reddit. the rx cards aren't going to be able to mine as well soon

>>2570326
Thank you the ducts run to a manifold box with a fan inside that blows the hot air through the wall. None of the rigs are running now but I'm going to get them going again.

>>2569861
Look at teh flashing AMD bios section

https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/wiki/index

>>2570387
What you say is true. Something that helped me that I haven't seen elsewhere was adding a crontab to restart the rig every six hours, otherwise they stop hashing randomly.

>>2570578

I was just reading it actually but thank you for the (you). reddits got the best mining info so far

I have a shitty pc with a gtx560 what coin should I mine? I'm using ccminer

>>2570684
I'm afraid that there's nothing worth mining on that, nvidia mining is only profitable from 900 series or newer, you can try zcash or lbry but most likely power will cost more than earnings.

Earlier photo. Even with two aircons running 24 hours a day it was fucking hot in there. I'm probably lucky I didn't burn down the neighborhood with six A7s plus ETH rigs.

>>2570728
Also I was wondering when the cops would drop by because our house had to be drawing 4 times the average for our neighborhood.

I'm concerned about what this shithead Vitalik Buterin is about to do to Mining with his Hairbrained Schemes.

I hope he doesn't ruin it for everybody but I think chances are he will just crash his Currency.

I hope so anyways.

>>2570751
Electricity I mean. But the cops never investigated.

>>2570781
They don't want to come over here talking about my Power Consumption. I have Business Electricity and they have no Search Warrant. They can go fuck themselves.

>>2570526
At the end of the year is my guess, when 3gb cards will have problems mining, and 4gb rx series will get a decline in their hashrate. But it'm a noob so you shouldn't trust me. Besides when eth goes PoS if this will ever happen, LBRY will rise because eth miners with rx cards will flood ethash and equilhash, while rx cards can't mine LBRY well. If this happens, the market will be flooded with rx cards.

>>2570815
Seems like a valid scenario if you ask me. I just hope the Mining thing goes on.

If the currencies try to remove Mining I will start Emailing Senators. If they don't care about Mining then I don't care about it being legal. They are already committing shitloads of Crimes under the Radar.

So ive a few computers that should farm over 100mhs and at the miner they say that they are doing just that, but the pool says something like 500khs.

Also im using cgminer and theres something at the status bar different in those computers the "I" thing in the ones that dont farm what they should its a negativw number in the ones that farm well its a positive number.

Anyone knows whats wrong and how to fix it ?

>>2570934
How long have you been running it? If it has only been running for a little bit then you might need to wait for the Website to catch up to Reality.

>>2570724
I am currently doing decred right now is that bad? I'm at 339.2 MH/s

>>2570971
Decred is pretty pointless. It's the only option for old CPUs but the MH/s only matters when it corresponds to the Algorithm they use. Some Algorithms get more MH/s, some less...

Use www.whattomine.com and plug in your Hashrates to get an accurate picture.

>>2570971
I don't have a point of reference on power draw by gtx560, but calculator shows revenue of roughly 50 cents per day, and half of that will be consumed by power. My dual mining radeons do 28mh/s eth and 800 mh/s dcr at the same time for comparison, like I said ccminer with cards older than 900 series is pretty much a waste of time.

>>2570965
When that number is negative i can have it up for a whole day and it just goes down on the pool.

And i think that I stands for intensity but isd how to change it

>>2571054
I guess I'm just retarded with no hope then. Is there a way I could optimize this or what?

what's the USD/money invested rate atm?

assuming no electricy cost

>>2571080
Have you tried Multiple Pools? I don't imagine your Pool is trying to scam you? You say your Miner says some Negative Number?

Perhaps there is a different Configuration to make it work better? Maybe you are not using Stratum?

Wait... I found something... maybe this is it?

"for the love of bitcoin take the untick the CPU Affinity boxes they slow down the GPU speed and cause stales the -0.015 flag means its will take a 0.015 secound break every so often (cant remember how often)"

>>2571096
Nah you have hope. I am just not sure if it is with that Card. I have found some people using the Card to get Decred but that is so pointless.

I have a hunch the Card isn't Power Efficient enough to be worth a darn. Don't got any Cash to put into a GTX 1060 3GB? They get hot but holy crap they are CHEAP AND FAST.

I've met a few Women like that.

>>2571096
There's really nothing you can do with that gpu, you'd have to replace it to see any profit with mining.

I got this computer years ago as a gift and it's prebuilt meaning I can't use anything new than gtx 600 series (don't know about amd) unless I get a bios update for my mother board that doesn't exist. I bought the gtx 560 ti for games a couple months ago when I sold some of my stuff.

So I would have to completely rebuild a new pc to upgrade.

So far with decred I have made 1 penny

>>2571384
Hahaha 1 Penny. YOU'RE MAKING IT MAN! LOL the Power Costs have to be higher than that!

I think it's about time you got a Motherboard from the Gods.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NGTYV2Q

Great for Gaming but Supports 8 GPUs Maximum (7 PCIE Slots, 8th comes from M.2 -> PCIE Converter).

It is pretty cheap for what it does and gives you tons of room to expand out of one Computer and still use it in the meantime. Win win if you ask me!

>>2567082
Does everyone work at McDonalds in your state?

What os is everyone using?
Xubuntu here.

>>2569997
you can download scripts and proxies that remove the dev fee without de optimizing the miner. they change the dev wallet addresses to your own
