Between Windows freezing, the WiFi not working, one of the cards not beeing recognized, this and that, I can't believe how often I've had to restart the computer. So, if you want to stay sane:
You might want to try SimpleminingOS. I find it much more stable than running miners on win10. Easy to set up, can run it from 10 usb stick, built in drivers and miners. To consider: must be cable connection (advised anyway), can not mix amd nvda in same rig, $2/month fee (have few days free trial).
How much should I spend on a power supply? I am building a rig with 6 1070s and was thinking of buying a EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 P2 80+ PLATINUM. Any advice is appreciated.
I'm running 6 x 1070 and 7 x 1070/1070TI rigs on Corsair HX1200i PSU with no problems.
If you run your cards at around 125w, it would be 6x125=750 + lets say 100w system =850w. 850/1200=70% load on PSU, so there's room for another card.
HX1200i (platinum) should be under $300. Also, get 1070TIs instead of regular 1070s : )
Can I use a hardware wallet as a direct payout from a mining pool or a faucet?
It is not recommended to receive small payments (also called dust payments) on a hardware wallet. This kind of incoming payments are typical of mining pools or faucets.
Set the payment threshold at a higher level (for instance 0.05 BTC), or use a temporary software based wallet which you'll empty every 0.05 BTC.
The reason is that the chip must sign all inputs when you want to make an outgoing transaction. Imagine that you have received 1,000 payments of 0.001 BTC. If you want to make a payment of 1 BTC then the chip will have to construct a transaction of 1,000 inputs and sign 1,000 times. Not only it will take a few hours, but you have risks that it will not manage to do it (the chip may get too hot and fault some computation etc).
If you are already in this case, the best is to restore your 24 words seed on Mycelium and empty your wallet (and stop receiving dust payments).
Interesting, what would be considered a non-dust payment for Zcash I wonder. I'm currently getting paid every 0.01 which I feel like isn't too terrible.
I'm thinking it's just a sync issue.
Any Zcash miners have any input?
I've got my 2 transactions sorted now, that were stuck for some 20h. Guess you have the same issue. Got my Flypool set to 0,05 zec, mining directly to Nano S. Only used Nano for few days, so others may have some better advice here. 1070TIs rock!
