1. EthOS is only useful until PoS. I believe it was written for GPU miners.

2. That's going to be hard to tell. I live in Texas where the humidity can get high, but my miners have gone through one humid summer no problem. But that's my subjective case.

3. PSU efficiency is important, but you should be fine with a gold. I have gold on all of my miners. According to Corsair(http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2012/august/80-plus-platinum-what-does-it-mean-and-what-is-the-benefit-to-me) There is only a 2% difference in efficiency between the gold and platinum(assuming you're going to go with a full rig) that amount is negligible. Go with a gold it will save you money.

4. Yes, you can do that, but it will be messy and ugly. I assume that your MOBO can hold 1 or 2 GPUs. You're still going to need power cables to the GPUs. Additionally it sounds like the GPUs won't be on the MOBO so you'll need to get powered risers that allow your GPUs to connect to your MOBO, that will require additional power rails as well.  It will be annoying when you want to work on the rig, if you're going with your idea of taking your tower and laying it on the side. It would be better if you have your components on an actual frame designed for mining or on a rack that allows for open air.  Basically what I'm trying to say is, the way you're wanting to do it will be annoying when you want to assemble/disassemble your makeshift rig. It's better to have everything on a mining frame or shelves where people lay their MOBO down on the shelf and ziptie their GPUs on the next shelf up.

I hope this helps!

You can't use this to mine monero or other coins. Only SHA256 and Scrypt algos. You need GPUs for what you want to do. Also, no it's not worth it. You're wasting money. If you want to make money, you need to spend it first.

Honestly, if you're in this deep, why not look at becoming a masternode if you believe in this coin?

You lost your money. Stop using something you don't understand.

Even a new person like me can see through this bullshittery. Get out of here dude.

DASH IS NOT DECENTRALIZED

Wouldn't the ICO buyers just be another form of centralization?  What about the people who want to participate in the voting because they like and idea? Because they didn't participate in the ICO for whatever reason, but own tokens, they don't get to vote? Unless these tokens are specific tokens identifiable as ICO tokens?

I guess now that I think about it a bit more, having everyone vote would almost lead to an issue similar to Bitcoin's current issue, no?

So you contact an admin on a forum instead of their website? You're a special kinda of stupid huh?

May I pick your brain?  Despite being new myself, I see you post a lot and a majority I agree with, but have a hard time making my own opinion because of ALL the info.  But I would like to ask, why are all coins scams?  I see posts about Dash scam/not scam, Ethereum scam/not scam.  Why do people call all these coin scams, yet they are being used and reviewed by entities/people who are interested in their products or see a use for them.  For example, Dash and Protonmail. Moneroians will claim Dash is a scam and preach Monero, and the opposite will occur as well.  How can a coin be a scam and be 'used?'  Protonmail took the time to look into Dash vs other coins and chose them. Why would they choose a 'scam?'  

I guess what I have a hard time wrapping my brain around is why are companies like Protonmail taking the time to use a scamcoin. I don't think these companies will say, "Hey, lets use possible helpful feature even though it's a scam! And when they come out as a scam, we're gonna lose a lot of money! What a great idea right?" They are seeing a legitimate purpose regardless of 'scam.'



Also, can anyone explain how and why I currently need $30k USD to run a fucking masternode?! I.. just don't get it..

Akasha on the Ethereum network. Check it out.

Currently I'm pulling ~900w with some undervolting.  May I ask if you could link the bios flash for XMR? I'd greatly appreciate it.

No. I can't even tweak the 8GB versions. Honestly, when I try to adjust settings, the rig crashes. And I've tried AB and Wattman. I can OC with Eth no problem. I'm still trying to figure out if it's my settings, or Claymore's software it self.  For RX cards, it just gets by. This miner needs an update badly.

I have 6 of the 8GB versions and have tested the 4GB.

Stock settings 4GB hash at ~600, 8GB hash at ~640. The MSI gaming x IMO have the best fans. So quiet and tremendous cooling. Definitely recommend.

It's the real deal.  Superior to Bitcoin in most ways. Private. Secure. Untraceable.

Wonderful GUI wallet with ringCT permanently enabled.

Privacy shouldn't be an option like other coins. It should be inherent. Just like your privacy.

Sources?

I can't trust anything from someone who can't spell.

Monero.

#5 in market cap

No one can see what you're doing unless you let them.

Wanna know my balance? Nope. You can't.

Wanna see my a specific amount to a transaction? Nope. You can't.

Wanna see if you can find me? Nope. You can't.

Wanna not have to worry if your privacy function is 'on' or 'off' like other coins? Yep. You can.

Is every transaction private. Yep.

Functional(fantastic) GUI. Yep.

Can I increase my privacy level? Yep.

Can I have transactions process faster? Yep.

Monero.

How are you hashing that high with those? Custom BIOS? I'm hashing 640 on 480 8GB cards and dream of achieving that.


Also, I would like to confirm that I had fan issues as well. If my fans were on auto, two of the six cards would go at a higher fan rate and the other would stay the same. Another issue that I've had was those same two cards that would fluctuate fan speed, would sometimes not have their fans spinning, and hashing at 100%.  I have figured out that it was MSI Afterburner causing the issues with the fans. Once I removed AB, fans now are auto, but don't fluctuate up and down.  I am now using Wattman to OC/UV.

Claymore 9.6/9.7 had these issues. Driver is 16.9.2. Win 10. Did test next driver up, same issue, but have not gone further with updates.

Oh man, this sounds tempting. I'll keep an eye out. Do you have a cut-off date?

So is it 300 Dash or 300 USD(18Dash?) for a Mini?

I'm curious about this as well. With 11 cards going, whattomine tells me I should be getting ~.76, and last night I got .73. I'll math this out and see if this might be correct. I'm honestly just a bit away, but so close that I'm not really bothered.

Unfortunately not. I haven't done any modded bios. So for ETH, both rigs hash at 25Mh/s not overclocked. The MSI rig, if I OC the Memory to 2200, the cards hash rate increase to 27-28. For XMR, both rigs hash at ~640 per card.

I have not successfully overclocked XMR ever, it's so hard for me. I see people doing it and I honestly halfway don't believe them. I just need to do more research.
