Is there anywhere to exchange bitcoin to dogecoin besides binance?
Everywhere else I've checked has disabled dogecoin.

yep. Same error even when using sudo.

$ sudo pip3 install urllib3 --upgrade

Could it have something to do with the dependencies I installed?
"Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip"

I had electrum-ltc installed and working fine. Then I installed the dependencies above and electrum (btc), that's when electrum-ltc stopped working.

use pip3 and sudo so `sudo pip3 install urllib3`

Thanks for the reply.

tried sudo pip3 install urllib3
Code:

Linux Mint 17 Qiana

I Installed electrum following the instructions on https://electrum.org/#download
Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-pip
Install Electrum:
sudo pip3 install https://download.electrum.org/3.1.1/Electrum-3.1.1.tar.gz

When I click the electrum icon through the applications menu nothing happens.
I have electrum-ltc installed and it was working. Since installing electrum it will not run.

If I try to start it through the command line I get the following error:
$ ./electrum
Code:
/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/requests/__init__.py:80: RequestsDependencyWarning: urllib3 (1.7.1) or chardet (2.2.1) doesn't match a supported version!

Trying to update urllib3 and chardet I get these errors:

"384.111, 387.34 and 390.30" are the driver versions.

+100 core +200 memory
average is Aorus 730 sol/s and Zotac 720 sol/s.

+75 core +600 memory gives a similar hashrate.
Tried upping the core, found that +105 is the limit. Anymore then that and the miner will crash after a few hours.

Aorus 740 sol/s
Zotac 730 sol/s
Sometimes they are getting the same hashrate, most of the time the aorus is +10 sol/s more than the zotac.

I've tried 384.111, 387.34 and 390.30
390.30 gets the best hashrate so far.

Not sure which cuda version the miner is really using. I tried to remove 7.5 and install 9.1
When I run the following commands I get different versions.

$ cat /usr/local/cuda/version.txt
CUDA Version 9.1.85

$ nvcc --version

@QuintLeo
Which driver and cuda version are you using?

EWBF on lubuntu 16.04 getting 730-740 sol/s, same as dstm.
Power 225w, +100 core, +100 memory

Maybe I lost the 'silicon lottery' on these cards.

Memory DOES make a difference on equihash - though not a big one on the 1080 ti.

 On my Aorus (not the extreme), I found that +100 core +100 memory was the best setting for speed/efficiency that was stable - +150 memory gave a few more sol/s but wasn't long-term stable as those cards seem to push the memory pretty hard already, +200 memory gave me LOWER sol/s probably because it pushed the card up into the next "strap" range with higher latency settings.

 50% TDP (125 watts) gave 505 hash - don't bother this is a waste of the card.
 60% TDP (150 watts) gave 620 hash - this seems to be the best efficiency point that still has decent hashrate.
 70% TDP (175 watts) gave 680 hash - efficiency dropping but not a LOT yet
 80% TDP (200 watts) gave 725 hash - efficiency dropoff getting noticeable
 90% TDP (225 watts) gave 760 hash - ditto
100% TDP (250 watts) gave 780 hash - waste of power unless you have VERY VERY cheap power, and even then it's a bit iffy - though the cards still runs pretty cool at this setting as long as it's NOT in a hot room.


 Other cards may vary, though all of the cards I have to date (1 Gigabyte Windforce, 1 EVGA SC, pair of Aorus) all seem to match nearly identically up to about the 80% point, then the EVGA and Windforce start dropping a bit as temp doesn't let them boost the core as much.

Which miner are you using?
I'm getting 735 sol/s @ 90% TDP (225 watts).
Aorus (non-extreme. N108TAORUS) and Zotac (AMP Edition ZT-P10810D-10P)
+100 core, +100 memory.
Ubuntu with dstm miner.

What's the most reliable usb stick to use with nvOC?
I saw lexar s75 recommended a while back. The last two I bought failed within 3 months and that was using them just for normal file transfers.
I plan to get a ssd and sata to usb adapter in the future. For now I just want to test out nvOC.

Re: Has your gpu, psu or motherboard fried from a bad riser?

If you have the necessary parts, you could build a test system with an old motherboard (with a PCIe x16 slot) and a cheap graphics card, then go through and test to see if you can get video on the card connected through the riser. I don't personally do this when I get new risers, but perhaps I should.

Great idea. Thanks!
One of those $100 refurbished systems would be good. Not a big loss if something goes wrong.

Quote from: Jimm3h on January 18, 2018, 07:33:14 AM
I find it strange that no highend pc hardware manufacturers are selling quality risers, i bet there would be big market for those for twice the price or more. As it stands the riser is weakest part in our setup by mile. Like, i am running pc worth thousands of $, yet wire it all up with some cheap chinese boards, thats asking for trouble.

OT, all mine have worked so far, using version 008.

That's what I was thinking.
It's not as if running multiple gpu's is not officially supported. Biostar makes a mining board designed for 10+ gpu's.

The only risers by highend pc manufacturers i've seen are unpowered ribbon cables. Thermaltake and Biostar makes them. Both have mixed reviews.
I've read that these aren't safe to use for a high watt card (1080ti).

Losing a gpu, motherboard, psu isn't even the worst case scenario.
If it starts a fire and you're not home, there goes everything..

I've been looking at buying some risers but every brand seems to have no or very low quality control.

Can you still RMA the gpu, psu or motherboard even if it was a defective riser that caused the problem?

I ended up getting the Seasonic.
Going to run the rig without risers. I have one aorus 1080Ti and a zotec is on the way, didn't buy the 1070Ti mini yet. I've heard the aorus takes up a lot of space compared to the other 1080Ti models. I'll see how much space I have left on the motherboard. Might just keep this rig at 2 cards.
Thanks for the help.

The only Rosewill Quark available here right now is the 750w $160.

How about Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-850FX 850W 80+ Gold $168 instead of the evga g3 850w?

Are those your only options? There are probably some more budget-friendly ones that will do the job.


Unfortunately all the 850w gold corsair and evga are around $190-$200 ($160 usd) here.
What are some other reliable psu manufacturers? Maybe I can find something cheaper.

Which PSU out of these do you recommend?

-PLATINUM

$165
Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750PX 750W
