Thanks guys

to summarise, right now I'm mining Zcash with each RX480 pulling around 110H/s (miner hashrates on the PC itself spikes between 105-130ish) average showing on the mining pool, this is of a period over 24-48 hours, so it's stable and accurate. It's generating me just over 10% per month ROI at these figures.

Here in Australia I am paying about 17 cents US per KW at current exchange rate (I use US cents as all coins mined earnings are in USD basically). so this is around 10% ROI after electricity costs which is pretty sweet. I am also a forex trader and at 5% a month which I am getting give or take per month, I can retire in 4-5 years, so these farms are another means of passive income when the markets are bad trading wise such as last week with the election.

mettalmag specifically - I've ordered 3 of these to test - http://www.ebay.com/itm/0ship-HDMI-EDID-DDC-Plug-Headless-Linux-Windows-Mac1920x1200-emulator-dummy-USA-/191567271934?hash=item2c9a4c97fe:g:bcgAAOSw~OdVb-7m

from what I can see they act as a dummy monitor plugged into the HDMI slot, meaning your PC will boot up fine on a power outage/power cycle, the biggest issue with the RX480's, can't tell other cards cause I only have these, but generally without a monitor plugged in, they will not boot past bios, almost like a safety thing. I even tried just plugging a HDMI cable in not connected to a monitor, but it didn't work. I am working on this because my Phase 2 and 3 (30-40 rigs each) will be remote to me, about 30 minutes drive away so I don't want to be driving out everytime there is a small issue haha.

I have my rigs set to power on/boot into windows 10, startup batch files to run my miner files and in the config files I have my voltages set for memory and core, this way even if they restart/shutdown and sometimes reset to "factory" settings, my bios mod is factory, they come back at 1000 mv's per card, but the first miner startup they are then set to correct mv settings again

I'll go into this more in future videos but something to think about.

So I guess I'm planning to order both for testing dummies and ethOS as well. My farm is also about 30-40 minutes drive away if there is no traffic and blackouts are real pain in the ass. I was also thinking about getting PDU's. I have to test every detail and it needs huge amount of time. So far win7/10 are working great if there is no power outage, but you never know what will happen. I want them to be on and mining with minimal physical contact.
