Re: PhoenixMiner 4.6c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Performance Video in my testing so far: 481mh @ 1062w for a 8x 5700 XT rig. https://twitter.com/BitsBeTrippin/status/1174169921250631682
But probably going to settle for 474mh @ 1058, as few of the cards not showing 100% stability with settings. Once I see it clean for 24h will post how I got there in video.

Nice, it's more efficient that Vega VII unless the Vega runs at 0.8v, 75mh/s. Better price perf too. Never thought that can happen, since HBM has good power savings. I guess it's because the Rx 5700 can run at lower voltages, while the Vega need 0.9v for 90mh/s. So it's not savings due to architecture, but due to better core to mem bandwidth ratio, allowing for lower voltage.
It still has to run ProgPow competitively and ideally a few more algos like beam and mtp before I can consider getting it.
Are any of you guys in this thread testing out mining with NAVI (RX 5700 series) with the new AMD driver that just came out?
Thinking to replace my 1080tis for 5700s. I could make $100 per replacement, save some power and get another 3 year warranty while retaining the same hash rate.

Trade using their API. Costs 0.1% if maker trade, or 0.35% for taker.
How hard is it to use their API to do this?
Because I can't even switch from the simple interface to the ActiveTrader interface. Its a big hassle and you need to email them and wait to be approved first.
A few weeks back when ETHBTC was low, I wanted to buy some ETH with my BTC which was sitting there doing nothing and turns out you can't even do that.
You can only Buy or Sell the Fiat based cryptos like BTCUSD, ETHUSD, LTCUSD,BCHUSD, and you can't do ETHBTC or BTCLTC, etc. You could do this a year back or so but with this simple interface you don't even have that option.
So to get the API trading going, do I need to be aproved first or can anyone do this?
It's simple for me (but I'm a software dev)
1) Install python 3 and Pycharm
2) Copy this code from gemini: https://docs.gemini.com/rest-api/#new-order
3) Change the currency symbol, price, order type(market or limit), and use your own api keys. In gemini you can create api keys, no permissions needed.
Then run the code whenever you wish to order. You can cancel in the gemini user interface. It's really great, just 0.1% fees. For extra safety, I delete the api key after every trading session.
I got activetrader for my account after a week of wait, and it does have the features you mentioned. Active trader is 1% fee though, and the rubbish new interface is 2% iirc. Api trading fees: https://gemini.com/api-fee-schedule/#api-fee-schedule
Also, I built this after their fees increased to 2% and run a copy locally: https://gemini-interface.com/dashboard?side=buy&symbol=ETHUSD
This way I get a decent UI yet pay the api trading fees.
In Canada there is an even bigger mess with Crypto taxes.
I don't know if you guys heard of QuadrigaCX, it was the largest exchange in Canada that went bankrupt at the beginning of the year. Apparently the owner sent all the customer's Bitcoins to Bitmex and Bitfinex and margin traded it all and got liquidated when BTC broke $6K last year and faked his death.
Most Canadian's used this exchange including me. I stopped using it 2 years ago due to withdraw issues was a blessing in disguise. However I think that more than 75% of all Canadian's probably used the exchange and when it went bankrupt the website went offline.
Now here is the part where it gets crazy. People couldn't login to get their trading records for taxes. And basically the CRA (IRS equilvaent) told people to "guess" how much they made and to try to guess higher rather than lower because when the website comes back online in a few years they might need to do a final adjustment.

Yes- I quit using them when it took more than two weeks to get out $$ in January 2018. A friend had even bigger amounts that took him 6 weeks to get out ...just before Quadriga went extinct 11 months later.
I haven't cashed out into CAD $ since Jan 2018. I've been holding some of my crypto in TUSD and USDC instead. Once I find a safe Cdn Exchange, then I'll cash out some.
Currently, I'm exploring:
A. Coinsquare and Coinberry. Not sure i like their fees.
or
B. I might set up a USD bank Account thru TD or RBC... and cash out in USD through Bittrex or Gemini. But that will mean other bank fees when I convert it to CAD $.
How are other Canadians on this thread doing this?
Yes I did that in the past, had to open up a US bank account and set it up with Gemini. It was a pain in the ass however because due to their strict KYC, you have to send them a wire first and then they send you wires out.
The issue was that my bank didn't know how to send the wire correctly, finally they decided to call the receiving bank and got the proper instructions and it went through. Almost gave up... so you might have better luck then me. If you get some lazy teller then most likely they won't send it properly.
And yes the fees are very high. Gemini upped its fee again to like 1.5% from I think 0.5% when I joined and you also get charged a 2.5% fee when you convert into CAD funds.

Re: Who ordered the AMD Radeon VII? Lets make a list of Miners / Hashrates / Coins
I have 3 PCS of Radeon VII and each of 100mh/s (it can get 105mh/s too but getting hot so short time. for this or maybe more need very good cooling system i think)
Here is the mining screen video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7hqTGeKHY4
That's cool, what are your clock and memory speed and voltage as well? ThanksHere is the mining screen video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7hqTGeKHY4
Core Clock 1950 Memory Clock 1200 Core Voltage 1050mv PWR +10
Seems very hot.
Mine are doing 1540 core, 900 mem, 850mv, power -20%. Hotspot from 80 - 90 degrees depending on the card, but rig in tropics and its hot here. It only does 80mh/s but these cards need to run for years and I'm close to power limit for 6x VII on 1500w titanium psu.
I'm kind of worried that 1200W+ is running through the traces in the board. At the same time I wonder if it's possible to push 8x Vega VII at 250W each 
Bought one of these similar boards as sample today, but has a cpu socket to use a G4560 instead of the soldered 3865U. It's slightly cheaper than the onda boards and most importantly $86 USD Bitmain APW7 can be used instead of 1500w titaniums.

Finally the Vegas are on SMOS (Vega version)...
Any suggestions on how to further optimize watts and hash?
8 x Vega64 / 300MHs / 37.xxMHs per card
I can push memory higher to 1100 to achieve 44Mhs per card
but I am worried about overall watts consumed by this rig
currently just under 1300watts.
The Vegas have Samsung memory.
PSU is 2400w Delta.
I haven't experiment with eliovp's auto-mem utility and rxboost.
*** eliovp, tytanick - if you guys are reading this post, please advise.

Curious how the power delivery works for this mobo.
Is it just 8x 6pin input from PSU, then 8x 6pin output from mobo, which goes into a splitter and then into the Vegas?
yes would be good. How big was the memory leak ?
RAM and swap usage increases until all memory is fullI have the same problem. Solved it by running 7 instances of 1 gpu each.
If I run 7 gpu in a single instance, the memory leak fills up my 4gb ram to 99% within 15 seconds, then hangs the rig.
Why this error?
Code:
Unable to query number of CUDA devices! Is an nVidia driver installed?
Need cuda 10.1 installed
I have a few rigs with 3 or 4 1080ti, they work perfectly. But for rigs with 7x 1080ti, ram usage spikes to 99% within 10s of running the miner, hanging the whole system. Do I need more ram or page size, or is the issue due to something else?
Specs:
7x 1080ti FE at 70% PL
G4560
4GB Ddr4
67gb virtual ram
1600w psu
The other 3/4 1080ti rigs are doing 3.9 - 4.1mh/s each.

I use nvidia smi to poll power draw and temps of my cards. If they go below 50w, write the rig name to a dropbox txt file and restart. Every hour, it checks any card goes above 80 degrees, if yes, write rig name to another dropbox txt file.
Crude solution requiring some coding but is free and works for me

Re: [AMD] New AMD RX Graphics Cards of 2019 - RX 5700 / XT, RX 600
Yes cards of course cheaper and better in line with the manufacturer Nvidia, but I wonder what speed they will give in mining. Now I think this question torments many people reading this topic
It's 8gb gddr6, should be equal to a RTX2070 which does 41mh/s in eth. Efficiency doesn't look good with that tdp.
Re: Who ordered the AMD Radeon VII? Lets make a list of Miners / Hashrates / Coins
Yep exactly. Though they are "cheap Chinese PSU", they are around 4 times cheaper than the equivalent wattage PSU, and have more cables suited for mining use.
Though cheap isn't always best in power supply situations! The best idea if you want cheap is to use commercial server psus and breakout boards, cos they're designed for the job and cheap as chips. They are noisy tho...
Speaking of PSUs, 2kw psu to run 8x Vega 7s per rig will be nice. There's the superflower 2000w platinum, which exists but I have no idea where to get it, and the 2200w evga platinum. No news from Evga since Jan 2018.

Running 6 cards on a onda riserless mobo, 1500w at the wall, 490mh/s.

Something seems to be sucking up power unnecessarily in your setup - I ran same settings but w/ my mem just a touch lower (935), and only saw 215w/card - looks like you're at 240-245 for some reason, which is generally more in-line w/ the 90Mh/s config.
My rig has 4x 4000rpm fans (or 7x 3500rpm fans), just the mobo + fans with no gpu attached is ~140w.
Even so, it's less efficient that yours. Might be my psus hitting 90%+ load, I use the Evga 1600t2.
My Radeon VIIs run hot! I have the mem at 1500 core 975 undervolt 875 and they still get up to 80 degrees in my shed with fans blowing on them. Not sure I made a wise buy my hash rate for eth is down to 75. 80 - 90 make it a deal but I don't think it can run long at 85 degrees.
That's just the hotspot temp? If so that's within spec. Mine are 70-75 degrees in MSI AB, but 85-90 hotspot temp.
At 1500 core you can also go way lower with voltage, or bump up the core. Many of us run 850mv, and between 1500-1575 core for 80-82mh/s
I'm waiting, even if they are equal or navi is worse for mining waiting will allow you to save some $$$ as a new burst of radeon used 7s go on the market and retailers/distributors start discounting their current inventory. At this point there are a lot of navi leaks but tech leaks are about as reliable as a coin flip.
Yeah but you can probably mine more than $100 of crypto in the months it takes for Radeon 7 to drop $100. In fact you can grab the free games and sell it for $35 - $50 usd per card right now. And Navi won't have free games in the beginning, and at best it will be half of Radeon 7's hash rate (8gb gddr6) and similar efficiency.
Still, only $1.3 profit per radeon 7 per day now.

8x Navi - $5.10/day profit at $0.075/kwh, 558day ROI
For me I recently bought a bunch of Vega 7s because I could get them at $670 usd + sold the games and my cost basis was $635~. Plus half the cards, half the problems, half the work imo.
