Please guys stay away from Genesis Mining!

I have had multiple missing payments and it's been like 6 months. Their IT Dept is always apparently looking at it. Have logged multiple tickets that is just closed after I was told IT is looking into it. Now i see that they are missing multiple days where no mining is accumulated under the payout section of the account, and for the last 2 and a half weeks nothing is appearing there. Let's not forget who held back all the BTC just before the BCash fork as to get their hands on that Bcash and also lying to the public back then.

Cloud mining in general is now a bad idea. I mean think about it, why do they offer it to you? Why not just mine and keep all the $$ to themselves. No because they want your hard earned $$$ and by missing payments all the time they make profit.

I decided to take my GTX1050Ti to test the Alternatives and this is what i got out of it

LBRY 12.5MH/s 0.95LBC/month = $0.56
SIA 137MH/s 18.9Sia/Month = $0.69
DECRED 124MH/s 0.02DCR/month = $1.65
PASC 136MH/s 2.20PASC/month = $4.87

Can this be accurate. PASC produced no more considerable heat or excessive power usage on the 1050Ti.

Hey guys! We all know about the new Asic Bitmain miners jumping onto Sia Coin. Sia's difficulty has just about doubled in the last 4 days. GPU mining Sia coin days are numbered and I suppose DECRED soon too.
Which secondary coin is the best to mine now alongside ETH with GPU's?
Suppose it's between DECRED/Pascal and LBRY for now and later only Pascal/LBRY?

I think you are wrong here. With Different coins being on a different Epoch, coins like UBIQ's Dag File is much lower and smaller. It will have a faster Hashrate than ETH with the higher DAG File which is bigger.
This is why AMD released the Driver optimized for crypto to address the reduced hashrate for larger DAG Files. This only affects AMD cards and not really Nvidia cards.
Even with the new driver there is still a difference in hashrate if you test both coins

Have someone test your plug with a tester that goes into the plug and checks if it has an earth leakage etc. This can cause the issue that you mention intermittently. Doubt a 2 GPU rig will draw so much power as to trip a circuit breaker or a fuse.
If the plug is perfect it could be a faulty PSU.

The mobo image appearing can be set in the BIOS to display or not. nothing to do with the power issue.

Just test the rig in another room in the house and see if it does the same.

I'm sorry but how can pressing the correct "F2" button and computer refusing to go into BIOS be a lack of knowledge?
Off course it is then a hardware issue of some sort.
don't think anybody implied interchanging bootsector and BIOS. We all know the difference between the two.
I am well aware that the code from the BIOS is what is actually loaded and then searches for an OS to load from the bootsector of the boot drive assigned in BIOS.
If the key press is doing nothing it can very well be a faulty keyboard / key or port, why i suggested him to eliminate this first.

According to the Manual it is F2 key to enter into BIOS.

As you are getting a HDD error, it means that it passes entering into BIOS and starts looking for a HDD to load an OS.
Can only be that the Computer is not receiving the F2 button press.
Maybe faulty keyboard or key? Try different USB ports as it could also be a faulty USB port.

Don't beat around the bush try one of these PSU with 32 PCI-e cables and plugs. Enough for all of the cards and can plug straight into the risers which is better than any adapters.

You would still need a small PSU to turn MB and HDD on and for the CPU power

This is for pure noobies that don't know what they are doing...

The fees sound very high to me! Why would anyone pay miner fees, pool fees and their fees too!

If you plugged everything in properly like was said then power should not be the issue.

Unfortunately I can't assist with EthOS as i have never used it. Try Simplemining.net maybe to test that? otherwise Win 10 Build 1704 to see if hardware is connected and working properly

Currently ETH is more profitable than ZEC.

I have a 3GB 1060 with crappy memory that only gets 18.5MH/s so the same card can do 300Sols/s on ZEC with GPU clock and power tweaking. So in that case ZEC is better.

Generally with other 1060's ETH is more profitable if you get 23/24MH/s.

ETH price is really doing well now, with Metropolis coming soon the price is expected to rise even more, so i would stick to ETH for now if i was you.
Metropolis is going to address the difficulty bomb, so difficulty will be predicated again to Network hashrate and block reward will reduce slightly.
So Ice age is being pushed back and mining for ETH should be good for some time to come.

Best bet, those cards stock can draw 140-150W without undervolting or even more. My RX 580 GB i have at 100W with undervolting running 30.5MH/s though.

This is tricky

yes, if you have 6-Pin risers then you can power it with a 6-pin directly from the PSU. 6-pin risers are the best quality for risers. Better than molex or Sata risers.

Running 2 risers on one cable is ok, as I am currently doing it for 2 months without problems. PCI slots usually provide about 75W to a cards, rest of power is taken from the 6/8pin plugs to the cards.

Depending on what cards your are using and if you are undervolting to limit power, you can run 2 cards on one cable (2 x 6/8 pin). I do this with my GTX 1060's running 2 cards on one cable 2x 6 pin basically daisy chained.
With lower power usage you can do this.
With cards drawing more power i would only run one cable from PSU per card, as you don't want to overload a rail. That 6/8 pin cable can only provide so many Amps, so even when you are staying under the PSU recommended wattage, it is possible to overload that cable if the cards draw too much power. In your case without initial knowledge of undervolting, rather run one cable per card. don't put 2 cards on one cable.

I can tell you that it does work on GTX1060's drawing 85W undervolted from my Corsair 1000W PSU with one cable supplying 2 cards. I also power 2 Risers per PSU cable via SATA with no problems. running 2 months like that now. No more than 2 risers per cable though! if you can and have the cables do one riser per cable for safety. specially if you have cards drawing more power and you are not undervolting!

Yep the 1x riser into the 16x slot.
You can disable onboard graphics and plug monitor into the graphics card connected to the 16x slot.
you can mine with however many PCIe slots you have 16x and 1x.
Just monitor power draw on the PSU!

Looked at the pic again, I only see 1 x 16 and 5 x 1 PCI Slots?

I don't think this is a power problem as he says it does same with one card and Claymore just starts and then shuts down without him being able to see why.
Open CMD prompt as administrator
Navigate to the Claymore Folder yourself
Copy your long Bat file command and then paste it into the cmd window and press enter.
This way you will be able to see the exact error Claymore is giving.

I have seen this type of crashing in the past when it is missing some sort of DLL file or something. Installing VB.Net or Visual Studio usually sorts this out.
Also maybe you can post your Claymore Log file?

But yes, if you are not going to undervolt that 1200W PSU might be a little bit too small for those 6 Cards! With proper undervolting it wil be fine though.

Move the USB cable with the little riser card one position left into the long 16x slot next to it.

I can't see the image very clearly but it looks like you are not plugging anything into the 16X PCI-E slot.
Plug the the first card into the 16x slot using a 1x riser (It fits) just doesn't use all the space on the slot.

A PC generally looks for a graphics card on the 16x slot at boot to output to the monitor. You can disable onboard graphics/audio/com ports and all unnecessary devices in BIOS.
The cards must be powered as well as the Risers. The card will draw power from the Riser and the 6/8 pin power cables connected to it.

I could be wrong but the power to the MB near the PCI-e slots is not necessary when using powered risers. I think they are there if you use risers that are not powered.
I know on the Biostar TB-250 you dont have to plug in the molex power cables if you have powered risers.

Yes then let it be Etherium or something that was designed from scratch that can actually do something like smart contracts and that has more functionality and technical capability and uses for Dapps.

Not some rogue Miners and one programmer with a Wix Website that copied the Bitcoin code and all other code to make a wallet and is relying on public confusion trying to basically steal the Bitcoin name. For godsake they didnt even check to see if the 'BCC' ticker was taken when they chose it.
That would have taken anybody 10 seconds.
If they can do this to Bitcoin it could affect all the other coins and the entire market. There will be more hardforks coming....
If BTC chain is attacked at 10% hashpower strength you could lose all your Bitcoins.

Have you not read the articles, why would you want to support and mine this Disruptive trojan horse coin?

If 50% of hashpower starts moving away from Bitcoin today due to this, There is no emergency adjustment for Bitcoin, it has to wait 2016 blocks to adjust. So they could lose half the hash power and stay on same difficulty for even longer because blocktimes would go up from 10 mins to 30 mins.
Guys BCH is causing attacks on Bitcoin and it's security and stability. I would think everyone in this forum is an avid Bitcoin supporter and has been for many years.

Please don't be short sighted and look for the quick buck when you are destroying the Original Bitcoin. Don't be upset when you want to hop back and there is nothing to hop back to......
