For 6 RX 570's you should be getting ~170MH/s. - I'm currently getting ~28.35 MH/s dual mining on the single RX 570 I have.

Long and short answer is, are you holding or selling? Selling right now, might be worth profit switching. However if you are holding, then... best guess is (and what I'm doing) is continue mining ETH - I'm using 8 RX 580's right now for it.

My $.02 is I'd rather see a lower dev fee, with maybe an upfront buy in. But if those numbers work out to be true, this is something I'm sure many AMD GPU miners would be very interested it.

You can always stop the miner, copy the updated miner into the same directory and restart the miner. I've done this several times in the past, and it works no problem. Unfortunately there is some lag time behind when new miners get released and AM is able to include them (he's gotta do testing too).

You can also just put it the updated miner in a new directory and point AM at that as well.

Figured I'd check back in on this to see if you've had any chance to look at, or if there is anything I can do to help?

Thanks!

Going to have to confirm the no. I did it without much thought or foresight - melted the end of the sata cable that went into my PSU - so the cable and the port on the PSU are now no longer usable. I got lucky that's all that happened.

Correct, I need it to post via https. I can work with you if you'd like to test it - like I said, I'm sure most aren't the same kind of nut bag I am, so it's not as of yet super common.

First, thanks for the work!

I have been playing with this and haven't been able to get it to work, however I do believe I've discovered the issue which I'm presuming you haven't run into or possibly haven't even considered (most people aren't security psyco like myself...but it's how I make a living).

So I'm running the enterprise edition and have SSL enabled using a wildcard cert. Apparently the program is either reading directly from AM's API settings (which shows HTTP, not HTTPS) or it's presuming http. Either way that's causing issues as it's required to try to connect via HTTPS in order to work, and for the SSL cert to be valid it needs to connect via the public name or simply ignore that info (probably easiest) and just accept and move on.

P.S. going to bring up the API https thing to AM as well.

Here's a good video that might help you.

1) Yes you can run multiple miners setup on one rig as profit switching. You simply need to control which cards are assigned on the command line. You have to configure different profit profiles for each miner, then under the configure option on each mining software config the command line parameters. For example under Claymore you would is the -di {card #'s} option.

2) I have a main mining rig which is running in "profit" mode - It's mining ETH + what ever coin is more profitable on the 2nd coin (currently PascalCoin), plus on my desktop I have it running the same mining, however for 2.5 hrs a day I have it mining ZClassic for the BTCP fork. So I have it set to apply a template at a certain time to make the switch, then reapply the original template again at different time. Two Rules, one to switch to ZClassic, one to Switch back to ETH.

You could run multiple miners on the same rig no problem, as well as have time based switching. I do both of these.

My guess is it will continue to be around 50% - 60% of BTC Market share, if it hit's 75% or more than I'm suspecting either BTC had a major technical issue discovered, there was some stupid regulation that hit BTC directly or it'll be time to sell off a lot of ETH and wait for the crash and buy it back.

Right now ETH is my primary hold coin too, so while I'd love to see it sky rocket I don't think it'll hit more than those numbers.

Buy what ever you can for as close to $300 each as possible. I've found that anyone that I've gotten is getting with in 1Mh/s or less of any of the other ones - all above 30Mh/s (right about 31Mh/s) single mining and all right in the 29.5-30.5Mh/s dual mining. I've got XFX, MSI, Asus, and PowerColor. All of them are stable at 1200 CPU / 2150 MEM. I could probably tweak them all a little bit on voltage and speed, but the down time doesn't make it worth it.

The 570 is also a great buy, the one XFX one I have is running at 28.75 Mh's while dual mining. Honestly probably the bet ROI, out of all the cards - but I got it for $229.

Why in the hell would you leave this open to the internet? Putting this behind a simple VPN or at worst a firewall with restrictive ACL's is simple, and all but free.

I have XFX, MSI, Asus and PowerColor running in mine, there is >1 Mh/s difference between all of them, and all running just about the same fan speed and at the same temps.

Are you using a modified BIOS? If so, have you run atikmdag-patcher?

Yeah, way over paid. I have a total of 6 RX 580's and 1 570. I never paid over $309 per card (most were at $299, the 570 was $229). I have a mix of XFX, Asus, MSI and PowerColor.  I'm getting right at or over 30 Mh/s on each card dual mining. I have a little more tweaking left to do on each to make sure the power and speed are optimal, but I'm pretty close right now.

At $500 a card, your ROI is going to be right at 5 months plus however long it will take you to pay off the rest of the system - so you're probably talking a 6 month ROI. Buying the cards at the right price, and you'll have an ROI of half that.

You're right that you're going to find a lot of mixed answers, much of it's based on personal feelings rather than hard cold facts (which can be difficult to really come by). I was playing around with several different options starting about 30 days ago when I decided to jump head first into the mining fray

I played with Nice Hash (before the breach), and personally it wasn't for me. Because as has been mentioned all the costs, and delays with Bitcoin (BTC) I didn't want that to be "my coin". I instead decided after reading a bit, looking around, and doing some basic testing for Ethereum (ETH) to be "my coin". I'm currently mining ETH to Ethermine.org as my primary coin and sending it to a wallet (every couple of coin's I'll transfer it to a cold storage wallet). Because Claymore's miner allows you to dual mine, when tweaked right at a very slight hit to ETH mining plus more power usage, I am currently mining Decred (DRC) to Nice Hash (NH) which is converting to BTC and I then send over to Coinbase (CB), since NH and CB have an agreement that transfers between them are free.... I suspect NH is having CB manage their wallet now for security reasons, then transfer that to Gdax (it's the same company so transfers are free) and place a limit order to sell it. Based on initial testing and calculations the 2nd coin mining is paying the electric bill.

Also, because I'm a control freak (~20 yrs in IT + ~12 in IT Security, plus being a Jarhead... where did Mom go wrong?) I am running Awesome Miner (AM) to control everything - I purchased the premium edition because I wanted the extra features. I personally recommend it - they have a free version to try, but if you're even semi serious the standard or professional version is the way to go. The good thing about AM is you can set it up as a managed miner like I have, or you can have it in profit mode where it switches to what is the most profitable. From there you can mine to something like Mining Pool Hub (MPH), as you mentioned, and have it auto-convert into the coin of your choice. You'll have to do the math on that, because there is on average a 1% pool fee, a 0.2% auto conversion fee and a withdrawal fee on all the coins.

Now as a side note, I happen to have a R9 280x that was originally in my desktop that I had setup for profit mining to (MPH) and auto convert to LiteCoin (just because I have hard cash invested into LTC). However, I have now switch to mining ZClassic (ZCL) full time due to the hard fork coming up with BitCoin Private. I also have my desktop RX 580 to do some testing on, I'm dual mining mostly to ETH & Library (LBRY) for testing profit's vs's ETH & DRC, and I was also having it switch for a few hours a night to ZCL however it broke last night I think due to my upgrading to AMD's latest drivers and Claymore hasn't update his ZCash miner for it yet - I'll do a little more testing to verify, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Lastly (f**k is this long enough or what), as I read on these forums, and it made sense to and for me, I have my primary coin(s) to pay the bills and hold for as long as I decide or can, and then my "extra" mining is a more long term strategic hold coin as a gamble in the future that it pays off "big" - which is my ZCL coin. Just thought it was pretty sage advice, so I'm passing it along.

Any plans to add LBRY or DCR to the pool? I'd rather mine one of those (LBRY being preferred) as my 2nd coin for dual mining.

I'd say if you're mining $38 a day in ZCL vs $15 a day in ETH then mining ZCL and converting into ETH will make you more ETH per day than straight mining it even taking in the fee's. So that's the strategy I'd go with it too.

Not that I'm an expert on this, and I don't even play one on the internet, my strategy is I'm mining ETH (the difference on my rig is not enough to make up for fee's) directly, plus dual mining DCR to Nicehash which then gets converted directly to BTC. I can then transfer the BTC free to coinbase and either sell (through GDAX) enough to pay for operating expenses or maybe sell it to convert to ETH or LTC. I'm probably not going to hold BTC (but we'll see) because I personally think there are better crypto's for the long term (due to the technical issues with BTC and the network). Right now I also have an old R9 280x mining to either NiceHash (to convert to BTC) or Mining pool hub (to convert to LTC) depending on what is most profitable for it at the time as it only has a few algo's it can mine profitably.
