Re: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
The new beta version is ready. It is mostly a bugfix release, the more significant upgrades are coming next month. You can download PhoenixMiner 6.3b from here:
PhoenixMiner_6.3b_Windows.zip
PhoenixMiner_6.3b_Linux.tar.gz
The new features in this release are:
Known issues (driver incompatibilities, etc.) and workarounds:
If you are using Linux drivers 21.40.1 with Radeon VII cards, you need to add the option -fpwm 1 in order to have proper fan control.
AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1 has finally removed the requirement of PCIe atomics but there are problems when you try to mix Polaris (RX4x0/5x0) cards and Vega or newer cards on the same rig.
Some Nvidia cards will report a lot of stale shares under Windows 11. Using the same driver version under Windows 10 resolves the issue.[/list][/list]

@blah01
I really like what you have done, always wanted to try HDD mining, but for now im sticking to GPU mining.
Can you give us some ROI information?

Thank you. Roi is a little hard to pinpoint because of how long it has taken to plot and the changes in the network. Now that I am fully running it will take a little time to really see what I will be generating each month.
Went a few pages back and didn't see a Burst miner so...

Would you be willing to mentor me in creating a burst/Storj farm if I pay you?

Here is my thought though. I think decentralized storage is the future. It can be done at incredibly cheaper prices than the big companies can, and to get the infrastructure built now would give a huge advantage over the years as newer and better technology come out. Burst is probably the most profitable currently, but Siacoin and Storj have some potential, but both have problems to work through as of now. I love the idea of running racks of hard drives and being able to throw some capacity whichever way has a new startup, if it tanks, you aren't out a whole lot, if it blows up, there is huge potential, and I think one of them eventually will blow up and be huge.
yea I certainly am looking for one of the storage coins to come around. There is basically no ROI right now with sia or storj because there is not enough demand. One good thing with equipment investment is you can resell for a good chunk of what you paid, hard drives arent like asics where they become valueless. I shot you pm if you want to get back to me there.

Burst is probably the most profitable currently,
BURST isn't decentralised storage, that's STORJ or MAID (and SIA? Not sure there).
Storage isn't that hard to shrink, it's just EXPEN$IVE to do so right now.
Intel showed off 60 TB (yes, SIXTY TERRABYTES no typo) in a 3.5" form factor last year - issue is that it was a SSD and probably WAY pricey.
I don't think it will happen real soon, but SSD will probably replace magnetic HD storage eventually - it's already there in niche usage, just not quite price competative on a per-TB basis yet.
My current estimate on ROI for a Seagate Archive 8TB (which is usually the lowest price per TB on new drives) is around 20 months, unless the price starts climbing faster than the network total TB does (price has been DROPPING like most altcoins the last 2-3 weeks, while network capasity keeps climbing).
There are calculators, but they are ALL on the optimistic side as due to how BURST pools work, only *one* machine pointed at the same "address" gets counted for total capacity on that pool.
There are times the pool thinks I only have a few hundred MEG of capasity, even though my total among all of my machines is probably 20 TB or close.
Up side - BURST doesn't use a drive particularly hard, so they should have good longevity in BURST usage.
Another up side - I have to buy a drive anyway when I'm building a new mining machine, and the cost of buying a 3TB HGST refurb isn't much more right now than buying the cheapest drive available, so the difference in price will pay off pretty quickly.
You are right the calculator is optimistic and its a long term average so that has to be taken into account. However, it doesnt matter how much space the pool is "registering" for you. What matters is the amount of nonces your miner is mining. So whatever the space the pool shows you having is inconsequential so long as your miner is mining the actual space you have, looking for Deadlines to submit to the pool.
So this is pretty simple setup. My server is an IBM x3550 m4 with dual xeon e5-2670 chips, 80gb of ram. I am using netapp ds4243 24 bay enclosures that house 2tb 7200rpm enterprise drives. So in total this setup is 240tb (slightly less because of usable space. These enclosures are supposed to be used with a netapp controller. I didnt want the added expense plus dealing with their software licensing. They are qsfp so I bought a standard LSI HBA card and a qsfp to mini sas cable and plugged the top enclosure into the card and daisy chained the rest of the enclosures with their standard qsfp cables. I don't run any raid so these are all just stand alone drives. I plot each one so that if a drive goes down I can revert to my notes and just replot its replacement with the exact plot numbers that was on it.
I can plot 4 to 5 drives a day. I get about 32k nonces per minute optimized with my chips. My main bottleneck when it comes down to plotting is my disk write speed. I am only getting about 80 or 90MBps. I dont think its my drives as most of them are rated for 150MB write speed or above so it could be the back plane on the enclosures themselves.
I ran the setup with windows server 2016 and with ubuntu 16.04 and ultimately went with ubuntu. My nonces per minute were a little better with windows but my plot times were significantly slower so I went with ubuntu.

That is a nice setup; 240 tb is a lot of capacity. Are you using Creep Miner?
yep I am using creep miner and I actually used xplotter through wine because I had issues with mddct

I have been working on setting up a burst/any other coin HDD farm for a bit. I was able to purchase a Synology 8 bay NAS and tried writing to it, but it was so slow that it would have never finished. How do you go about plotting on a NAS? Can you give some details on your build? What hard drives are you using and what NAS's? What are the specs of the computer you are using to plot/mine from? What is your current investment into that? Any advice/help would be appreciated.
Well from what I hear plotting to a NAS is indeed slow. This is all Direct Attach Storage (DAS) My drive brands varies but its mostly hgst/hitachi with some seagate and WD mixed in. All 2TB 7200rpm enterprise drives. If you just have a pc to use for a miner/plotter I would buy sata expansion cards and sata cables and just plug all your hard drives in directly. It is a little bit of a messy setup but you can build something to hold onto the drives or actually i have seen some frames pretty cheap.
Went a few pages back and didn't see a Burst miner so...
Love that.
Would like more information. I've not looked into Burst mining, but would like to know the stats to backup a setup like that.
I've access to old servers/sans and could build something like this.

Sweet stuff!! Can you give us some details? What is your total capacity? What hardware do you use for mining? How do you access the disks, SAN? How did you plot that many drives, how long did it take?So this is pretty simple setup. My server is an IBM x3550 m4 with dual xeon e5-2670 chips, 80gb of ram.

Re: [WTB] Purchasing GPUs, PSUs, CPUs, Mobos, HDDs, SSDs, Miners, etc.
All the blades currently have AMD Opteron 6174 chips installed and the other chips (6200 series) that you will presumably use for mining are separate. There are 17 C7000 chassis in total however I believe one of them is damaged from when they were shipped to me so I am not officially including it, just throwing it in.. payment in crypto if possible is preferred but not mandatory, will cut a deal for quick easy sell in crypto.
More equipment info: There is 16 C7000 chassis and the blades are a mix of BL465 G7 and BL685 G7 blades. There are enough blades to fill about 10 of the chassis. There is no ram and no hard drives. I will throw in a couple hundred gigs of 2rx4 pc10600 ram sticks, its all I have. The chassis have 2450 watt psu's, Onboard Administrator cards, 1gb Ethernet pass-through interconnect cards, 2gb fiber interconnect cards. I don't have an exact count of all the interconnect cards since they aren't pertinent to mining . As for CPU's there are 303 - 6200 series chips. The models and counts are as follows.

AMD Opteron 6100 series:
I don't have an exact count for these chips. Almost every blade has them either installed or were removed and will be included. There are also some from blades that I have previously sold so If I had to guess id say roughly 400 6100 series chips.
shoot me a pm if interested

Anyone have a windows wallet? Cryptopia about to delist and I need to move my coins somewhere. Any quick help would be appreciated because they are delisting in a couple of days
How many XMR are banked....
per day?
per week?
per month?
per day?
per week?
per month?
Easiest would be for you to pull up the calculators and look yourself so you can see all the coins profitability at current rates. For xmr it looks to be about 5 per week right now but im sure theres more profitable C.N. coins to mine and convert to get even more per week.
Tubecoin has been most profitable lately, doing about 150 usd a day which converts to about 9 xmr per week
What's the total power draw per blade mining? What hash rate @ that power draw?
Or simply total power draw for the entire 'setup' @ 150k Monero (assuming it's V7/Cryptonightv1, the current XMR algo)?
Or simply total power draw for the entire 'setup' @ 150k Monero (assuming it's V7/Cryptonightv1, the current XMR algo)?
It depends on what ambient temp you run them at but its roughly 5kw +/- per bladecenter
So 'ballpark' (+/- 10% or so) 5,000w @ 208 per 15,000 hash on Cryptonite1/v7 is a good guess?
yea id say thats a pretty reasonable estimate
