I did not realise ccminer could do neoscrpyt :/

I am now mining FTC on SMOS. I'm using the "ccminer-skunk-krnlx" miner listed with the following code:

-a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://s1.theblocksfactory.com:3333 -u USERNAME.WORKER -p WORKERPASSWORD

That is to mine on theblocksfactory.com - Just adjust to suite your pool.

Feather coin is NeoScrypt and SimpleMining OS does not have support for NeoScrypt yet Sad

Stick to ZenCash for now with 1070's. On the latest version of SMOS you can use "ewbf-0.3.4b" to mine it.

ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 is capping out at 3 GPUs for me under Windows 10... Tried adding 1 card at a time with full power off and CMOS clear between each card but at 4 cards, 1 of them will fail to detect correctly and only 3 or even only 2 will be able to mine. Occasional BSOD with 4 cards, 5 cards is nearly a guaranteed BSOD or a laggy and unusable windows until a BSOD within a minute after booting.

No PCIe options in BIOS, page file increase made no difference and extra ram made no difference.

Was testing with a sata connected SSD and tried multiple clean installs of win 10 with nvidia drivers 368.81, 375.70 and the latest 382.53 with the exact same results.

The 5x V006 PCIe riser boards didn't even power up the GPU's (tried direct 4pin molex and sata to 4pin adapters and even new USB cables) so i suspect that entire batch was faulty but the V007S ones all worked without issue.

Gave up and resorted to SimpleMining (SMOS), first boot with all 5 cards connected and been stable and mining at 130MH/s for 12 hours now with 5x GTX 1070's... Sadly they are only at the stock 26MH/s and not the 29.5MH/s i was able able to push them to in windows as the overclock function in SMOS does not work with the nvidia build.


tldr version, dont get the ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 for windows mining...

Just a quick update on this in case anyone else if having the same issues - Swapped the motherboard over to the Biostar TB350-BTC, selected the "Mining mode" option from BIOS and all good on first boot. I didn't even reinstall Windows or drivers. just unplugged all components from the Asrock, plugged into Biostar and mining away - stable for 5 days now.

Got my Biostar board from this AliExpress seller - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-TB350BTC-original-TB350-BTC-Socket-AM4-Motherboard-for-Bitcoin-AMD-Ryzen-CPU-B350/32813417900.html

I actually have a B350-BTC where I'm fairly certain I'm having the same riser issues as you.  Curious where you got your batch of V006 risers from, and where you ordered the working replacements.

I have a new set on the way of 006C's as well to try, but wouldn't mind stocking some known working spares to have on the way just in case.

It was an eBay seller in Australia that listed them as local stock but they came from China and i had to email them a video of the fault to resolution@banggood.com or supentres@enjoyebgo.com...

I got my working 007S's from this AliExpress seller - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VER-007S-PCI-E-PCI-E-Express-1X-to-16X-graphics-card-Riser-Card-SATA-Molex/32779942085.html

There has been one listed as Out of Stock for months but you never know if they are selling/using on the side - https://www.eastshore.xyz/shop/ethereum-gpu-miner-eth-zcash-xmr-supported/

Looking at the screenshots tho, looks to just hold 8 GPU's at 29MH/s each so could be anything or even a complete fake Huh
