Is there any idea what epoch the current version of PM will work till or is there no cap I cant find any info on this. The reason i ask is just thinking ahead about forks of Eth that may be about to bear down upon us.

i like PM so yes many thanks for it, would be good to just say bye if thats the way it is.

Last post from me for while as dont appreciate my posts getting merged and deleted so just to thank PM and confirm now got 7 RX6800 XT running under ubuntu 20.04 with latest driver 21.40.1 and even gained a couple of extra hashes also like the labeling of GPU's good feature thanks for PM 5.9b. Note we are back to ROCM :-) but dont like the way AMD distribute this driver using package manager over a nice fat tarball download, I smell trouble ahead.

Today seems quiet normally when i pop in there is a fake post and when it gets taken down another replaces it promptly but not today. :-)

Superb RX6700 XT now running with optimised kernels under ubuntu with 21.30 thanks. Will play with 21.40.1 driver later looking to get multi gpus running under ubuntu 20.04 LTS with latest drivers that would be most welcome.

Right now i have a RX6700 XT running ok on a test rig under PM 5.8c, Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS 5.11.0-37-generic with AMDGPUPRO 21.30 which is OpenCL driver version: 21.30-1290604-rocr. Only clkernel 0 works tho and it isnt ideal due to high stale shares and multiGPU may not work due to limitations imposed by AMD in ROCR ( Happy to be wrong,  theory is nvidiea nobbled mining rigs with LHR and AMD did single GPU restriction in Rocr instead)

Main rig currently has 7 x RX6800XT under Manjero but with older driver made using PKGBUILD workaround (for multi gpu support) all singing sweet with clkernel 1 under PM 5.8c

Info on Manjero setup can be found on link below. (take note i dont get a lot of time to play with this so this solution might have been improved since)

Any bios update when upgraded cpu?


Have a sniff around the bios NB settings close look at igfx set as main then maybe check 4g decoding is on and resize bar on.

Not sure what i would do with myself if mining with gpu's wasnt a thing anymore. Buy and do if thats how your heart sings tho upon reflection i could probably have made more just buying coin n hodling for years but then i would have to pay to heat my home rather than heat it using rigs and would be a bit bored with that.

I would agree on returning it rather than stress over aging second hand kit with little support available for it.

Its a substantial account to lose control of i noted that to.

Nice info in thread thanks.

In 2019 at bottom of market i learned about RVII and scooped up 4 of them for my 3rd Gen rig at a cost of $4.5K it broke me as used all my free money to do it. I used the psu, mobo etc from the now dismantled 2nd Gen rig.

I ran them RVII for a year at a loss with Eth dropping as low as $100 if memory serves then we pumped and my investment risk turned around massively and in total i ran those RVii for two years earning round 20 eth, 10 of which i still hodl. There is profit for the brave but dont spend anything you cant afford to lose or at least wait to see fruit of.

Consider if you could earn more by buying coin to hodl over the space of the year or so your looking at for ROI at present prices and coin valus go up as aell as down we have all mined at a loss for a time during bear season...

If i was going to spend $5k on a new rig today then i would secure the GPU's first and then get what PSU and MOBO to suit it possibly with future expansion in mind if i have budget left after getting GPU's. Today you might get 3 x RX6800XT new for this budget including warranty giving 64Mh each so ~192Mh and a single 1000W psu and basic mobo will support that no probs. Add an extra PSU and you can upgrade later if mobo supports more GPU.

Theres very little Nvidea stock about so it would be second hand for that which would be brave as no warranty.

Done.

If anbody wants to report scammers you can do so in the thread linked below.

And another PhoenixMinser fake github account has just been posted by user akirasendo17 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1011538

Cant report to github myself but thy have setup the following: https://github.com/Phoenix-Minerbuild

I dont disagree with this at all other than to say my own situation is not a production environment so im going to solve my headache with a splitter and put my feet up for a bit to restore blood pressure to nominal values. At this time with so many changes and developments going on so fast in the pc world i had to just dive in to learn as reading up on it all wasnt working any more possibly as my own organic embedded processor is in need of a serious defrag and purge of all technology data files less than 32 bit in width. purism such as dont use a splitter to solve your problem is for the yoof....


 

Re splitter fires...

I dunno its like there is a miner maximalist sect that wont tolerate the use of splitters as its none cannon blasphemy such is the crusade among the sect for HW purity and to eliminate redundancy from the miner maximalist orthodoxy lol. Maybe miner jesus said "Thou shall not use a splitter needlessly especially to mask ignorance or thy shall be cast down unto the flames of a burning rig".

I jest dont lose your  over it folks...
