Are we going to talk about Monero?

No transactions, earnings, only dashboard hash.


Myth, good info I didn't know BTC was a one way exchange on MPH.

Just added CastXMR (v1.109a)

So you can mine Monero, Electroneum, Sumo with up to 2000 Hash/s on Radeon Vega GPUs.

Happy mining!  Smiley

I have come to terms that as soon as I buy it goes lower, like the coin Illuminati knows, "look he bought again lower it some more".

Catching that moment it hits bottom and starts to gain is my unicorn.

Everyone is going to be scared off by the market dip and now we should see the used market start to be flooded with cards to as the people who got in late get scared or angry spouses telling them how much money they wasted and being forced to sell.  I have put my buying plans on hold till these guys start taking a loss on their cards and I will scoop them up.

^^ Nailed it!!!

Card availability will increase, I seen in stock emails already.

On the used market the demand will fall, the inventory will rise, and buyers will dwindle, leaving us with normal prices for GPUs.

Is there a way currently to set a device to mine a specific coin?

In the Coin menu you can choose the coins, but not what device mines which coin.

Or am I missing something in "job decision" that will do this?

Thanks

Re: Nicehash didn't payout today
by

Of course they did not pay.  Just keep on prolonging everything because people flocked back to them when they came back up. They have committed to paying 10% back with no timeline on the rest. Ridiculous if you ask me. They could come back and say 10% per year for 10 years.  The only way to force them to pay is to stop using them till then start payouts.  What is there incentive to pay back in a timely manner if everyone keeps using them?
They don't give you payout timeframe estimates because they don't have the money to pay out, duh.
They need people to mine and pay them their high fees to accumulate enough to start paying back over time. Without enough miners they cannot commit to a timeline. Sounds pretty logical to me.

What are their fees?

How would you suggest mining with minimal fees? At a pool with fees? With a miner that has dev fees? To a wallet that has TX fees? To an exchange which will charge TX fees? Seems like a lot of fees? You like Fees? You tires of reading about fees?

Has anyone recently compared WinMiner with (the revived) Nicehash in terms of performance / yield?

I have a lot in the past couple days. I have done direct comparison to NiceHash and WinMiner in terms of hash speeds and yield.

I do not have the crashing problems mentioned by others on either platform.

I'm compiling the details for a video, but will provide the short of my findings.

** I haven't edited any configs in either miner app, I plan to do so and test again

NiceHash :


- CryptoNight is significantly slower in comparison to Pool mining and Winminer in my experience
- NiceHash wouldn't recognize the CPU , where as Pool and Winminer had no issue using certain drivers. The success rate of drivers working was higher on Winminer in my testing.

Most appealing is the NiceHash 0 fee transfer to CoinBase, and then the ability to 0 fee limit sell on CoinBase or Gdax and withdraw to bank with an aprox 3 day wait.


WinMiner

- Likes to default to ETN which in my testing was not the highest profitability coin, I suppose this could be worked around by setting the priority of the miners and device, but in my opinion defeats the purpose of autoswitching at time when ETN is the highest profitability.
- CPU and GPU speeds were almost identical to manual mining application I tested against XMR Stak
- I find I need to clear benchmark to manually trigger a worker to change currency, even at the lowest switching %

Most appealing is PayPal payouts, the fee is a bit more than I would like, but the ease of use and speed I like, aprox. 5min trip to my Paypal account, and I'm swiping away on purchases.


I would like to see WinMiner partner with a large exchange and offer 0 fee transfers, or mirror NiceHash Coinbase relationship.

As of right now my rigs are on Winminer with intent to payout to PayPal to reinvest in hardware.

Re: Altcoins worth small scale mining?
by
JKresty
on 01/02/2018, 16:12:45 UTC
Is there any alt coin that's worth mining on small scale?
not looking for huge profit, just taking it for learning.
Ethereum coin is easy and simple to understand the mining platform. Because you should monitor the temperature is must for the mining. But you are looking for small scale mining so you should try your home is harmful. It make more heat in your home and it consume more electricity. But you should gain knowledge and little profit. You can invest more mining rig you can get more profit.

Do you have any real life experience to back up the claims you make above?

I disagree on the following :

"monitor the temperature is must for the mining" - On a small scale this is not necessary, CPU mining will produce heat but in my opinion not enough to warrant keeping track of it past the first day. On small GPU scale I set the fan speed or plan and forget it.


"small scale mining so you should try your home is harmful. It make more heat in your home and it consume more electricity."
CPU mining doesn't pull a lot of power like GPUs can. I don't see how it is harmful either, granted you have a stable rig and proper wiring in your house, but that would be the case for any electronics.


What are you planning on using to mine, I can make some basic suggestions.

From my experience with embedded web miners running on my websites is that you should be running your own script and to your wallet.

The speeds I have seen were disappointing.


Sites like CoinHive, Crypto-Loot are unprofitable and the hash rates I have seen were 30h/s - 50h/s. Not to mention they take 20-30% up front in fees, making it unprofitable.

Good luck, post how you fair with it and the speeds.

I would imagine 220V would be the first electrical upgrade.

If you have an electric dryer, you could convert that 220V connection, and dry your clothes with your GPU cards.

As mentioned a little pricey and version .07 but the may reduce the amount of adapters and give more options with PSUs that dont have an abundance of 6 pins.

Currently running 1 and 2nd one is in shipment. No issues as of yet but it hasn't been but a couple weeks.

Since this board designed with a lot of PCIe slot, you need middle-end or higher LGA 1151 Processor for whatever algorithms. This is about overall performance, mid-end /hi-end Processor will handle all of your GPU's. Another thing, I agree with this:

memory 8gb, hard disk = ssd 120gb minimum.

I feel like a lot of builders miss this in there design and budget.

I for one didn't budget for the cost of 1151 cpus and am at a bit of a standstill gathering parts deciding which processor to get.

They are far more expensive then I thought.

Re: How to start a hidden miner?

A couple suggestions to be a bit more discreet.

- Rename the application files to something other than XMR Stak, something obscure and generic like "system" "netsys" etc.... so if noticed by someone it won't be a dead give away on a Google search of "xmr stak" or even worse they know what XMR is, mining is popular you'd be surprised who is doing it.

- Run it as a scheduled task off hours, don't get greedy *edit "owner"

- Make sure anti-virus doesn't flag the software, this is a sure way to bring attention to the PC and applications running on it.

- Mine local pools as to not generate out of the country traffic that will look suspicious if it is big enough network to have advanced firewalls and net security.

Good luck, happy mining.

A little more pricey imo but I have 2 of these : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076KMP2ZL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Can anyone tell me the pros and/or cons of running these, I believe they are .07 version?


I liked them because of the power options.
