Wonder what this means for bittwares fpga mining offerings....

https://www.molex.com/molex/news/new_display_news.jsp?channel=New&channelId=-8&oid=2376&pageTitle=Molex+Announces+Acquisition+of+BittWare

Code:
Molex Announces Acquisition of BittWare

That is certainly interesting. In my experience such acquisitions usually kill little projects like this, but I would be happy to be surprised.

I more prone to think this crypto mining announcement was more oriented to inflate company value with more expected sells revenue ! a good move to move to make buyer thinks his investment has some good potential of profit.

Due diligence on company financials, product pipeline, customer base, etc would have been completed long before the start of this thread. Molex would be looking at proven sales/revenue streams for BittWare. That comes from industrial customers and not crypto.

Any of the raven miners here using HIVE and amd (rx 570) cards?

I'm getting pretty garbage numbers ( 120kh/S per card)

I went back to stock bios. I'm using miningpanda pool.

I'm going to switch pools and maybe even try using SMOS( first time) to see if I can get better result.

I'd rather find a solution than abandon mining the coin. Any suggestions would be great



Add these parameters to the "Extra Config Section" for SGMiner in Hive:

"worksize":"256"
"gpu-threads":"2"
"intensity":"20"

YMMV.

Does HiveOS supports 12gpu rig?

Yes, you will be able to run a 12 card rig.

Is it possible to refresh all my tasks at once? It is annoying that every time i want to refresh data i should go Enter coin - Exchange API import - Choose exchange - press Check. It is so simple to create one button "Check all", why i can't find this magic button?  Huh

One option when you set up the exchange API import is to have it execute automatically. This will execute the import once a day automatically. This way you don't have to do anything except hit the recalculate button when prompted when new transactions are added. If you don't do that then, yes, you have to click each import function individually. In my experience, magic buttons rarely exist in crypto Smiley

Hi,
I never had problem importing with API and Coinbase until today.
Suddenly when I try to import via API , Cointracking is displaying "invalid key",but I didn't change anything and when I go to my Coinbase settings to check the key, it's the same one I use since the beginning.
Is there something dealing with the API version,in the Coinbase settings I see the API version 2018-01-11 and a upgrade button ?
I just imported trades from Gdax with no prob ,if someone experienced the same prob or knows what I can do to fix this I would be thankful;)

Create a backup of your transactions before doing this. Delete the API key in CT and CB. Recreate it with a start date after your last successful import. Technically, setting the start date shouldn't be necessary as CT apparently ignores potential duplicates based on the Coinbase TXN ID but better safe than sorry. If it all goes wrong, just restore from backup.

Thx for helping,I'm gonna backup everything before doing something.
But I just don't understand how to recreate a key with a special start date,the first time I created it I don't remember about such a setting( is it on CT or CB ),or is this something linked with the API version upgrade button I was talking about with  2018-01-11 date ?
Sorry if my question looks weird ,I'm a newbie with API stuff but I'm happy to learn more Wink

First you have to create the API key on CB. Make sure you keep both the key and the secret.
Then create an import on CT. You will need to put in the key and secret you created on CB here. There are a few options when you create this. One of them is a start date that will only import transactions after that date.

Instead, I'm seeing a prompt 'Worker login' which doesn't seem to correspond to the rig id account that has been defined already...

Have you tried editing the .conf file manually by directly accessing the drive from another PC?

If not then I would recommend checking those files to see what is written to them... it should give you an idea of where you're at.

Which config file in what location?

Sorry, I'm totally newb in Linux mining...

Stick your Hive USB into a Windows box. You will probably be prompted to format a drive. Say no. Two partitions for the USB should have shown up. One can be accessed via Windows. One file has a name similar to "sample rig config". Open this file in Notepad. There will be two variables here. One is something like "rig_id" and the other is "password". These values were created in your Hive OS dashboard when when you added a rig. You need to insert your "Rig ID" for the miner from your Hive web dashboard. Same for the password. Then you need to save the file as "rig.conf" but make sure that .txt is not appended to the filename. Put the stick in your rig and boot.

This is how you get around having to have a monitor and keyboard hooked up to a rig when you set it up.

Hi, i'm new to MPH and I have been mining for the last ~48 hours. Hoping someone can kindly please give me some general guidance. I have 11x 1080TI on Equihash/Skein/Lyra algos profit switching with help from Nemos Miner.

Is the profitability displayed on the start script relatively accurate? My payout currency is BTC; how often does the pool payout in BTC? Is there a delay between a wallet balance having reduced to zero and the payment arriving in my BTC wallet? Are the stats on miningpoolhubstats.com concrete?

Thanks

I would avoid payouts in BTC if possible. The fees are high and it will probably take a while to have transactions confirmed just due to network congestion. You might want to try LTC or BCH. You transactions will confirm much faster. I would not put much faith in the displayed stats.

Can you please give an example.

Noob.555_diff8192?     

Like this?

No. You put the difficulty setting in the password field of config settings/file for your miner. Like this:

SuperMiner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --port 17023 --user whatever --pass d=0.01

I don't have any problems at this time:

PING europe.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com (178.79.168.110) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from li305-110.members.linode.com (178.79.168.110): icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=55.4 ms
[snip]
My miners are working normally. If you are running windows, you may want to flush your dns cache

Two different algorithms being served by two different servers. The guy was asking about Equihash. The europe.equihash address ends up in Asia/Singapore. The europe.ethash address ends up in Europe/Germany.

You may just want to try the us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com from Europe until they get this addressed. That site is located in Atlanta, Georgia. Should be around 100ms-125ms ping from Europe depending on where you are and how you're connected. My guess is that would be faster than being routed to Asia.

There's only one ip for the us server, that's a very good idea to send everyone on it.
Nice one!

You realize there is only one Equihash IP address that terminates in Europe, right? Of course you don't. You realize that the number of IP addresses has nothing to do with available capacity and the ability to serve requests, right? Of course you don't. You realize that many miners like to be proactive and move their miners to better performing geographic endpoints within the same pool if they notice issues, right? Of course you don't. You are a genius and I love you. I don't care what anyone says, you keep doing you. Now to make sure I click that ignore user link...

Yeah I'm at a point where I just throw everything at nicehash. I get slogged the full 5% fee which is annoying, but I will acquire more hash-rate to be able to mine 0.1 BTC within 4 days so that the fee is reduced to 3%.

From what I can tell, you pay 2% to nicehash wallet and to get it out of there you pay the network fee of 0.001 BTC - which probably totals 3% anyway.

I didn't know that it was free to coinbase - I will have to look into it.

Cryptonight in particular has been paying wayyy higher than ordinary XMR rates for a few weeks now. Equihash is quite strong as well.

Have you tried using Mining Pool Hub with "Autoswitch" (to automatically convert a mined coin to another... such as BTC)?  I haven't been able to do a scientific comparison, but comparing 8 days on NH to 8 days on MHP I've found MHP has a higher return and lower fees.  So I'm interested in your point of view.

I haven't looked at MPH. 50% of my rigs are on nvOC and I'm not sure if they can point to MPH. If there is a linux OS with MPH support, I would definitely try it.

If you're not trying to do algo switching, you can use any miner and either mine specific coins or mine specific algos. I choose the latter and use Ubuntu/SMOS. If you try it out and use the auto-switch capability, you just have to be prepared to give it at least a few days. It take times to prime the pump and get things flowing. I would recommend NOT auto-switching to BTC since the transaction fees are so high.

Is development on SMOS still active? or can we track it somewhere and are here plans to include neoscrypt into SMOS?

Still active. If you scroll back through the thread you can see where the dev talked some upcoming features. He also said that January would be primarily dedicated to his Simple Rig Resetter (SRR) product. That tells me not to expect much this month.

That's from within Europe. I'm mining on it (port 17023)

EDIT: No, I'm not. Connections are now refused. Damn ... this pool is plagued with problems.

There are rolling restarts of mining servers to deal patch for the Meltdown vulnerability. From the main page:

- Some mining servers will be restarted one by one to patch Intel meltdown vulnerability. Mining rigs can be disconnected intermittently but will recover soon.

Might just want to redirect miners until the patching is completed.

9) there are sites/tools to help make things easier with this pool

Which sites / tools are you guys using for MPH?
I know mph stats... anything else?

Thanks

A few are:

Awesome Miner
Nemos Miner
MultiPool Miner
mph_switch

You need to figure out if they work for your scenario or not and if you want to invest the time and, in some cases, money.

Hey forum,

Please help me out, super frustrated. I have my sp20e hooked up and when I type in my pool's URL and username and everything it says that there is an error with the CGMiner??? What even is that? It says CGMiner Version N/A, CGMiner Status Not running... Also, what is MinerGate? Thoroughly confused. Please help.

If checking cables/connections doesn't work out, you might also want to try reflashing the ROM image that someone linked above in the event there was some corruption. If neither of those things work, your controller board could be dead.

Hey guys, I've got electricians coming out this week to hopefully upgrade my main panel.

Does anyone here use PDUs and have any suggestions for them? Worth it? Or more worth just running outlets?

I prefer the Tripp Lite metered PDUs for my 220v 20A circuits. I prefer PDUs for the placement flexibility. I use the one below but do have other unmetered PDUs from them. The unmetered ones are cheaper but I like being able to quickly glance at the amp load.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052NM4JA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for your response. This is the one I'm currently looking at: https://www.tripplite.com/5-5.8kw-single-phase-metered-pdu-208-240v-outlets-6-c19-24-c13-l6-30p-10ft-cord-0u-vertical~PDUMV30HV

My thinking is that the 10a extra will allow about 4-5 1200w-1600w PSUs plugged in and then balance out their consumption with the meter.

At 20a it does not seem cost effective.. it seems that just running a single gangbox outlet with 4 plugs would be best then, as those 4 outlets can easily provide the max draw.

I've used Tripp Lite at work and home for years. As long as you stick to the business focused products, you should be fine. If you have the option, making the circuits 30A would be a better choice. My PSUs are smaller and even at 20A I need a lot of plugs so using a PDU makes sense for my scenario. Good luck with the upgrade. How many circuits are you putting in?
