@citronick, you're still mining V7 on monero ocean? How's it going?
MoneroV8 is no go for my RX series because of the hashrate drop and higher consumption...so right now I'm doing eth on ethermine, but I'm thinking of switching to monero.
MoneroV8 ended up not a good option for me - see my last post - the devs had overdone things for miners - less hash, more power.... reminds me of ETH mess. So even monero.ocean is out for me, due to power constraints.
You can still use MoneroOcean very effectively. You just need to setup your config files properly to consider power draw.
Example (figures not real, just for illustration):
Your CN_haven/heavy hashrate is 1000 and power draw is 100W.
Your CNv7 hashrate is 1500 and power draw is 120W.
Your CNv8 hashrate is 1300 and power draw is 140W.
You need to adjust your hashrate indications in the algo config file to reflect the profitability, aka you need to normalise your hash.
In the algo file, leave CNv7 hashrate estimate at 1500, increase your heaven/heavy by 20% to 1200 and decrease v8 by 20% to 1040.
Now MoneroOcean will only tell your rig to mine CNv8 if the expected gain is at least 40% over heavy/heaven or 20% over v7.
Makes sense?
