I wrote to the guy and I mentioned his too good to  be true hashrate.
He tells me he can show me everything in his shop in 1 week.

But in 1 week I will be away on a business trip for 2 weeks Sad

And then I know this community does not trust new hardware without good proof or review by one of the Legendary members here.

I'll tell him to create a  thread here, maybe he can provide more information.

Taking a leap of faith and put an order for 4...
I'll let you know in June if i got scammed :p

Did you use Paypal?  So basically if you pay by Paypal this is pretty much risk-free no?

Now that my rig stability problems are fixed... I have another type of problem with my network.

Basically, it appears as though my mining rig sometimes kills my router completely.

First time last week and back then I really thought the router was the problem:
My internet was down on my wifi.
So I went to check on my PC. No internet either.
I try to connect to my router (tp-link N750) and it can't be reached.
I rebooted the router. No change.
I reset the router. No change.
I connect a laptop straight to the modem: internet is up.

So I figured that the router was faulty and I went to the store to buy a new one: tp-link Archer C7.

Now I don't remember if I had turned off my rig before installing the new one... The new one worked... for a week.

Last night I got the same problems: no internet and can't even connect to the router.
But instead of trying to reboot and reset the router, I just turned off my mining rig. And voilà, everything was working again, I did not even need to restart the router.
Today I got the same problem again.  I turned off my rig and 1 minute later my network was up again.

The rig was stuck at the "Connecting to simplemining..." stage when I turned it off.

On my router admin pages I can't see any errors in the logs.

Important note: I have a switch between the router and the mining rig.  It's a basic dlink DGS-1005G.
I will try removing that switch from the setup and plug my rig directly in the routeur to see if it helps.

Any clues other then that? 

Some discussions about similar issues I found:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6xkau1/simplemining_os_with_5_or_6_gtx_1070s_makes/
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethOSdistro/comments/7k49ti/ethos_and_my_network_issues/







So I have 5 rigs running with 45 1070ti total and I get exact same. It seems One will get knocked offline and then soon all of them are offline trying to connect to server even though I have perfect internet available as I monitor it on my iPad. I turn off the one that had a card stopped on past and all of the other 4 rigs instantly reconnect and go on with no downtime. I tried setting each rig up under a different miner name but no difference when it happens. Also, it has run 4 days stable no problems, suddenly like 5 crashes earlier and then stable again, I just start turning off miners till I find culprit and the rest reconnect and restart the ones I turned off. I tried using the new file of Smos for NVidia cards on a new usb, but so far seems to be real buggy, I have to unplug and Re plug my usb on startup because it says usb bad. About to reflash a drive with older file to see if it fixes that.

 Vosk Coin did a livestream yesterday with a miningcave rig that came with smos already loaded and had issue with new file also so had to flash another drive with older smos file too.

One strange thing, when I lost connection earlier, I went to google overclocking setting and google made me check one of the your not a robot boxes before I could continue because it said I had unusual traffic from my connection. Earlier today I also had to change the port on my Xbox when I tested multiplayer connections after I couldn’t stay connected for a game on battlefield 1.



Sorry for rant but maybe that adds more clues, maybe traffic issue, maybe a port issue?

I am surprized that 1 of your rig will cause issues to your other rigs but not to the rest of your network.
Do the rigs have anything in common that the rest of your network does not have?

Perhaps a switch that is used only for your rigs?

On my side I removed the unmanaged switch I had in the setup, now my rig and router are connected directly, but the problem still happens.

I cant wait to the day when i will have step by step HOW TO prepare, run, debug, and all other documentation in SMOS Smiley
There are soe many the same questions that repeat itself just becasuse people dont look behind in forum.
But i get it, This forum (i mean one thread with all questions and answers scater on those 350 pages is something that i would not search Tongue)

I am still thinking if making dedicated simplemining forum would be good idea or not.
I cant do this anytime soon but i am just thinking is this the right move.
Or meaby it would be just enought to make one big help page.
Any suggestions ?

There is no search thread specific search?
I ended up searching in 30-40 different pages to avoid asking already answered questions but there is no way I will search through 300+.

How about the reddit?
https://www.reddit.com/r/smOS/
But I guess you are not the owner there?

/r/simplemining/ is not taken if you want to start a reddit you control.

It's not bad power, that wouldn't cause one card to flake out. It could be a bad riser, cable or the little PCIE chip that plugs into the slot. I've had bad risers that run fine for days or weeks and then all of the sudden cards will drop off.  I hate to be obvious, but have you updated the BIOS and tried to set the Gen settings for the slots etc? I have one ASUS board and the rest are ASROCK H110 pro's. The H110's are setup for mining and  fired right up,  I have 6 10 card rx580 rigs running SMOS. The ASUS board is 8 cards and was kind of a PITA to get running. Had to set everything related to PCIE to Gen1, disable SATA controller, audio controller etc. Finally it has been running for over a week. I read ton's on boards before setting up my 10 card rigs and stayed away from the B250 as it seemed to have overheating issues and just be unstable compared to the H110 or another board. Hell, I paid $129 for my Asus Z270-P and it runs 8 cards...

Thanks for your answer.

In the B250 bios there is a mining mode where everything gets set properly right away (gen1, above 4g decoding).  I turned off the audio already but I can try and turn off all the things I don't use.

Tonight I'll do that and also embark on a mission to identify the faulty riser, if any.  I don't want to run with 1 risers at a time to identify the faulty one... I guess I'll try removing them 1 by 1  instead even if it might not be as accurate (if I have 2 faulty ones).

Otherwise I already ordered a new 6 pack of risers earlier this week since I have 3 more GPUs on the way.

Make sure you aren't trying to boot with a monitor plugged into one of the mining cards on B250. Also I found that mining mode doesn't really get you exactly where you need to be. You still need to set all your pcie to gen2 enable csm(I think that's what it's called). And make sure to enable onboard video.

Thanks.

I use onboard video already.  I had to enable CSM to even be able to boot so that's the first thing I ever did.
I played around with the PCI settings.. not sure if I tried GEN2 already.  

I'll test that AND I'll start writing down everything I do otherwise I'll end up doing everything twice while forgetting other things to try Wink

Update to my situation.

I replaced 1 PCIe riser, just the small part you plug in the PCIe slot on the mobo, it had something that did not appear normal.  The board was not showing that PCIe has having something plugged in but SMOS was detecting the card and using it fine (normal hashrate).  I replaced it to be safe not before it was not working.

But this fixes nothing.

I have 6 GPUs plugged with 6 risers.  

I tested with GPU 1-2-3-4 (with their respective risers unchanged) for 12 hours and everything runs perfectly.
Then I tested with GPU 3-4-5-6 (with their respective risers unchanged) for 12 hours and everything runs perfectly as well.

Am I right to assume all these risers are fine because of this?
In fact I pretty much know they are good, I used them to mine smoothly on a Z170 PC Mate with 5 GPUs for weeks.  (all 6 were used, I switched some around).

However the moment I plug 1 more GPU (number 1, with the same riser it's been tested with before), I have 4 GPU mining normally and 1 mining at 4Mh/s.

I tried both Gen1 and Gen2.
I disabled all the Sata but the one I use.
I disabled the audio controller.
I have CSM enabled.
I use on-board graphics, not PEG.
I have a fan pointing straight at the little chip that can get hot (in the middle of the PCIe slots).

Any help is appreciated.

Problem might be solved.  It's been running stable for 20 hours so while it's still early to claim victory it's still a very good improvement compared to my previous situation.

What I did to fix it was to turn the damn Mining mode OFF.  After that I set all the bios settings required for mining like regular motherboards require:
Basically: GEN2, Above 4G, disable everything not used.

If the problem was really with that I am not happy for Asus to have provided a buggy Mining mode.

can anyone with asus b250 mining expert share their bios settings with smos?

i have tried many combinations of settings with 9 cards and smos registers each card but mines less tan 4 hashes each card, i have manyhours trying and cant find good answers online

What GPU's are you using, this info would help?


I have the same issue.  Currently I have 4x 570 4Gb and 1x 580 8Gb.
I have 2 more cards I did not test with the mobo yet and 3 more on the way, all RX 570/580 4/8Gb.


Otherwise I have a more general question as well:

I had SMOS running in 1 rig on an SDD.
Can I take this SDD and use it to run SMOS on another rig?  Or does SMOS udpates itself and becomes dependant to the HW it runs on (just like windows does)?

EDIT: I forgot to say these 5 cards were running fine (28-29Mh/s) on SMOS on a  Z170 PC Mate.  Now that I switched everything to the B250 mining expert I have this low (and varying) hashrate problem.

I solved my problem.  It was quite stupid but you have to know it: don't use the damn 16x PCIe slot!
After I moved the riser from the 16x slot to a 1x it solved all my hashrate issues.

The above solution did not solve all my problems.  The hashrate was good for a while but then went back to crap.

I followed the advice on Reddit and filled my PCI slots in the numerical order (I had read elsewhere it did not matter).  Now that I did this my rig is mining at the expected hashrate again.

F*** me it's still not stable.  It can run stable for like 6 hours and then the hashrates start to go up and down. 

Yesterday when I was running with 5 GPU, it went OK with all of them for hours.  Then only 1 of the GPU went down to 3-4Mh/s and the others were all fine.

In the evening I added a fan blowing on the little chip that some people say overheat on the B250.
Then I plugged in a  6th GPU and started mining again..  It was stable for a few hours only and then the issues started again.  Not just 1 GPU went down to 3-4Mh/s, many did.


Could it be  bad risers?  Can they they somehow work for a while and then start causing issues?  Identifying the bad one would be hard since they all  appear to work, at least for some time.
Could it be the power?  I currently run this on a good EVGA gold and a not so good Cooler Master (I had to RMA a corsair, that's why).  The only other  thing I have running on this breaker is a single light and the fan to cool the rig.  The wires are a bit old in my basement where my rig is.

DOES SMOS support auto switching bewteen coins/ports within same algo?

Can't you simply modify the Claymore config and have it point to a coin-switching pool (single algo) like miningpoolhub offers?

Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System

hey guys!
I'm willing to give simplemining a try. I have a 6GPU nVidia rig that is running stable for months now under Win10. If I just take all OC information from MSI Afterburner, will these settings work for simplemining too?

And one more question: is there a one time only fee for simplemining? (as I can see the $2/month is currently the only payment option?)

It's not a recurrent payment system.  You fund  your account with whatever amount you wish.

But if you justd want to give it a try then you don't even need to bother with payment.  When you create a new account it is funded with 20 cents, which is enough to use the service for 3 days. 
That's what I still run on after starting on Friday night.

After having so many problems with Windows 10 mining, I installed simplemining yesterday and I was instantly in love.
However the honeymoon did not last long.  The rig is not stable at all.

It goes offline and does not answer to reboot command issued from the web site.  This happens after minutes or hours.

When it crashes, the rig displays the following:
"Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or D to try and to boot into default mode"

I usually hate pictures of screens but today that's what I am doing!

And obviously I can't SSH to the rig when this happens.
Perhaps this emergency mode is triggered after an automatic reboot? 

Could this be a problem with bad HW? 
I actually don't trust my mobo after all the issues I had with Windows.
The OS runs from a SSD.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I found something interresting in their FAQ:
https://cointracking.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/29000018276-missing-fees-in-the-tax-report

Missing Fees in the Tax-Report
Modified on: Wed, 6 Dec, 2017 at 10:04 AM
"At the moment, the fee values are not deducted from your gains in the Tax-Report.
You can easily find them on the "Trading Fees" page and subtract them yourself from your total."


If I substract my fees my gains now appear to be underestimated by CT, but not by much. 

Dario can you tell us if this FAQ is accurate and we must all substract our fees from the gains in the Tax report?

Anybody has gains in the tax report overevaluated like crazy?
Cointracking gains are 200% of what they should be.

Maybe it's because of issues with some imported trades?
I have my trades imported from Coinbase, Bittrex, Bitfinex and QuadrigaCX.
I tried API imports and manual ones and the result is the same.

The bad part is that I paid for CT only to be able to do my tax report easily but so far it's not working  Undecided

Please let us know when you guys will include adjusted cost basis reporting used in Canada into your tax formula.  Really need it for reporting 2017 trades!!!  Thanks!

I think your comment just made me realized why my gains according to cointracker are a few thousand higher than they should be.

So basically the trading fees need to get taken into account into the gains/losses of each individual trades right?
So if I take the Cointracking gains and then substract all the trading fees, that should give me my real taxable gain right?  Or much closer than it is now for sure.

Anyway, I need this as well for my Canada taxes! 
I purchased a PRO account just to do my taxes so it needs to work.
