Hello Crypto world and PiMPs around the globe

Welcome to the new year and what a year it has been.
Pimp as a company came so far in the past year from being in the shadow of other Operating systems to what it has become today a full heavy full OS that kicks ass.

This being said there have been many changes in the background of PiMP aswell.
With the coming of a full support team , beta team  ,upgrade to discord as a main chat medium and active forums.
There have been a number of changes also in the Admin section of PiMP.

With all this positive news it is with a heavy heart that I must take my leave from this crew.
This choice has been made on my own after a month of putting things on a scale.
I personally would like to end this on a positive note because I care much for the original crew and the work that has been done giving you guys one of the best choices a miner could need for there choice in what they want to run on there rig.

Why would you leave is a question I got , well to answer that I need to disclose a bit of personal info.
Last year was also a year that I changed my day job (yes all the work that has been done was besides this ) and also they offered me a study to follow, this next to the Family matters.
As you can imagine this is more then a day holds in hours so every day was a tight squeeze.

Last but never the less not least I would personally like to thank Melt and Lily for putting there trust in me and that we could lay the foundation to what pimp is today.

I will NOT leave the crypto world and you can always contact me on the many places I have a presence in and who knows where the road takes me next it certainly is a great age to be a miner.

What parts of your OS is not GPL/open source?

hello eddex

this info can all be found on our forum and if you ask one of the devs on our discord

hope this helps you as there are some things that can be open and some things that can't and a dev or some reading could give you a better explination about this then i ever could

hello visualsb

sorry you have had some trouble getting in contact with us although we try to be here 24 hours a day there are still some gaps here and there

thanks for your excellent question and will see if we can make things even easier for all in the future.
for now we do have more and more info vids coming out and moved from a large chunk of user-guide to a great readable forum
also the newpimp command gives you excellent info on how to start

hope this helps you and see you soon in our discord

Am I missing something? Been trying to chat to get more information, but seems dead every time I go in. Will someone be updating material? When going through User guide it seems really different then what I have seen.  I am not good with Linux, but editing seems kind of bad, couldn't it just be done in VI?

hello FirstRigger

thanks for reaching out you are in luck because our gputool is now also for the amd including the way to see the what usage.
undervolting well this can be done in the sgminer or setting the power limit to -20%
spec question and card specific questions are better asked on the pimp forums to get feedback of your fella pimps.

as far as i can tell this is normal for a rx580 basic will do under full load about 271 doing this 12 times will give you a power need of 3250 Watt so depending on what mods you are running on the vbios of your cards i would say your doing ok

source : https://tweakers.net/reviews/5353/9/amd-radeon-rx-580-en-rx-570-rebrand-met-iets-snellere-chips-verbruik.html

with kinds regards,

Hi Guys,

my 12x RX580 Nitro+ run stable and perfect with other linux distro now.
But I see, that PIMP has more and better feature, also I will try it.

Undervolting is okay with pimp? What power usage do you have from wall - spec with RX580 cards?
I have 357MH/s and 1900 watt from wall by only ETH. (ETH+DEC 356/7100 @ 2230watt from wall)
I find my wattage high. Or?

Hashrate can be the same as with other linux distros? (~29-30MH with timings mod)

Thank you.

Trick or Treat! Come unwrap your delicious new releases! You’ll be making more coins in no time.




Major Support Revamp!


The PiMP Forum has given a new home to crypto fans and miners! We built out a modern, mobile friendly, well-organized and professionally maintained forum for all PiMPs to share ideas and to make it even faster and easier to mine with PiMP and miner.farm! Big thanks to Anjin, Emily, and Dbct for this treasure. We also use Single-Sign-on so you can easily use your getpimp.org account username and password on the forum.




All major bugs fixed:
AMD UEFI and 5+ GPU support, 4G decoding, AMD ETH DAG fix, networking issues on validation. ALL FIXED!

PiMP 2.3 is here! New images. New kernels. New NVIDIA drivers. New AMDGPU drivers. New overclocking tools. All served with the same support and community included with all of our PiMP and Miner.Farm products! And all with the time-tested quality assurance you are accustomed to with PiMP software for all these years.

Simpler versioning: No more rc numbers. 2.3.30 is the build number for these releases.

PiMP OS for AMD Gets a much much needed overhaul: The 2.3 AMD release works for all supported AMD cards.

PiMP 2.0 is now retired: In other words, you can now have a 390 and a RX-470 in your PiMP 2.3-amd rig. You can also have 7xxx and 2xx series cards in the same rig but they may underperform on the amdgpu driver.



TO DOWNLOAD: Go to your https://getpimp.org/home-landing/my-downloads page.

PIMP OS for NVIDIA: nothing major here, just incorporated all of the previous bug fixes, features, optimizations and updates since v2.2.2-nvidia (v2.2-rc2-nvidia)

Crypto Mining and PiMP have had ROCKET growth in 2017:

In 2017 so far, PiMP received several major version releases: 1.9/2.0 were released as a set supporting legacy and modern AMD GPUs (See: Which PiMP is right for you), followed by 2.1 released supporting NVidia. During this time we saw record numbers in growth, as the preferred mining platform to support nvidia users for Linux! In the meantime we had some major growth in NVidia mining needs and we addressed those needs with the 2.2-nvidia release.

During this time, some of our users experienced difficulty with stability due to explosive growth based on our features and performance. In response, we expanded the team with more subject matter experts, redesigned and deployed our infrastructure, and have been experiencing smooth sailing since. 

Alongside this rocket growth, Miner.Farm has seen great improvements in fixes, structure, and setup. Improvements have streamlined the product to be able to handle even the most hardened miners out there. Sign up for a free account with Miner.Farm and capture realtime graphing of your rig’s performance!

Highlighted infrastructure updates:

Miner.farm code has been getting multiple overhauls at each component to provide more network robustness, security, and accuracy.
We’ve upgraded our server fleet to handle the 100+ rig farms we have running simultaneously online.  We are constantly evaluating, testing, and improving the infrastructure.
The download servers have been upgraded and scale with demand to ensure swift download and install.
We are evaluating and working with a number of payment processors such as Coinpayments, Stripe, and Coinbase to improve the sales and subscription processes.

Highlighted new features:


 `gputool` has been completely rebuilt, and now will set clocks and fans on both Nvidia and AMD cards. If you were using other scripts or other methods to set fans or clocks, switch to `gputool` for the latest feature support. (For details how to use gputool, Check out our gputool post in forum.getpimp.org’s Overclocking section.)

Are your stats wrong? Are you getting 0mh/s but the miner is running? Does it say screen is terminating without starting the miner? Does the miner not run? Does the miner screen exit? Here is how to fix it in 4 quick steps:


1. Run the command `pimpup` in the terminal and update both the PiMP software, as well as the miner you are running.

2. Does this profile run fine with the defaults? For example, profile 2501 uses ewbfminer and you can restore the default config with: del nvidia.ewbf.zcash.pcfg and then run it with: `pimp --test 1`   (if it is miner id #1 in the `pimp --list`).

3. If `pimp --test 1` does not show you the right information you can go a step further and run without stats and without the screen. This is just for testing: `pimp --debug 1`

4. If you run fine with the default conf then you know it's your conf that is the problem. Double check it with checkconf command.

If you’re having any other problems, come join us in our Discord Channel!https://discord.gg/grCbFsA



You can now add and remove miners on the miner.farm website! To add a miner, the Agent Settings panel now displays the GPUs in the agent host, and allows you to add miners using the profiles on the rig. Miners can be removed from the Miner Settings panel. (See the miner.farm section on the forum for an easy guide.)

Check out more hardware details about your rigs on your miner.farm panel by clicking the Miner Settings button on a rig in your Farm view.

PiMPUP reminder - stay on top of the latest updates by entering “pimpup” in your terminal screen.

COMMUNITY NEWS:

Chat in real-time with other miner.farm members from around the world and the dev team by joining our Discord Channel!
We are pleased to have created a new PiMP Beta team to increase the quality, stop bugs, and streamline testing and releasing of updates and new images. So far we have had a nice range of miners from relatively new hobby miners, to large garage pimps, to the largest megawatt datacenters running hundreds of PIMP rigs!
blackice has been promoted from Beta to Testing/Support team and has been helping pimps on the forum and the discord with a great attitude. Special thanks to blackice!



FINAL SIGN-OFF

With being one of the first platforms to support Linux users, and the explosion of the Nvidia market this year, we’re excited to see lots of new great miners with great ideas for how to use our tools to optimize your mining experience.  In the future, you can expect to see us feature cool new rig designs and some awesome workshop articles.

Thank you for being a part of the PiMP community. We appreciate each of you and we cheer for your success.

hello kshadr

Thank you for reaching out to us.
Yes we have a userguide https://getpimp.org/guide2/ here the things are explained.
We are currently working around the clock to simplify everything so you can find and get your rig up and running.
As for the working confs well all the default implanted confs (best used first time to see if your rig is setup good on the hardware side before changing it to your own pool and settings).

On the question about the no permission well please login to your account at getpimp.org and then ask the question then you will have the permission.
Also for this one same as above we are working on a way to address this as well.

join us at discord for more direct help https://discord.gg/grCbFsA

To answer the question of your rig underperforming i would like to know  what version you are running what cards you are using, this is easy done by sending us a helpme link more info on this is also found in the userguide and on discord by typing !helpme .

To say something is unsupported is not something i would agree for there are many ways to get support the fastest way being discord and type !support then the support team will be alerted and will contact you in the chat to help you with your problem to get you mining once more.

The nicehash Auto Switching is at the moment not a thing at this time do to the fact that this is restricted to the sgminer we will make a guide on how to do this as soon as possible , other great miners like claymore don't support this unfortunally

To sum it all up to get the best support is following the guide that is in place on the site at the moment and on the miner by typing newpimp also please do watch the vids that are there to get you mining the easy way

with kind regards,

The very stupid system. With ASUS Prime Z270E and 3 or 4 GTX 1070 and 1kWt gold Corsair power supply and updated version of Pimp does not working with PCI speed Gen2, working only at Gen1, but after first boot you'll see the error message about nvidia-conf problem and that you'll need to start nvidia-xconfig and restart X-server. After execute of nvidia-xconfig you can't to start the system anymore. And so on about 10 times. The live chat no answer nothing, or sometimes that you'l need to read user guide. Support working at the same manner. Thinking

hello vlasic

Sorry i did not have the pleasure to have a chat with you, but thanks for your feedback.
Many have the same or a similar  setup and run without problems so never saw a helpme or any other thing from you.
Also i would like to ask you to come back to the chat although we aren't and can't yet be online every moment of the day we have a great community that helps out.
Was wondering if you could run a pimpup to see if that changes your outcome.

Lets see if  we meaning you and me getting you mining happy away on the crypto highway.

Hello guys. I was wandering, what version of PiMP to buy in order to use 4 rx470 and 1 295x2 on the same rig. I am kind of lost with the versions and their compatibility.

Thanks
-N-

hello npittas

unfortunally i have to tell you that that combo may not work best chance however would be the 2.0 amdgpu version
come over to our irc or our discord and i will be more then happy to help you and answer your questions on there.

hello Evan

a couple of our users are using that board so i don't see a reason why it would not work with the cpu's on it at this point knowing there is a wide range of cpu's from the ryzen to the mutiple intel setups.

if you are asking when you have a intel cpu and a ati gpu then yes this setup is possible.
when you ask us is it possible to have AMD and NVIDIA gpu's in one rig this how ever is not possible in current builds.

i hope this answers your question
if not please join our irc channel on the freenode #pimp or our discord channel https://discord.gg/mkSPD

How do you get that type of status reporting for the ewbfminer? I don't get any hashrates (or anything) in the local console or in the miner.farm site.

hello bryan

sorry for the late reply this is a known thing ewbf we are going to do our best to work on on a workaround.
for the moment please check your hashrate for that miner local or poolside.

Hi!
 I would like to try your famous new Pimp ... but first, if you can tell about the new RX 580 Nitro+4GB  if  can underclock by the SO, and if that needs to modify the bios of the GPUs to get higher Hash values, and if  can get updates by going to higher versions when they come out ...
If I want to move the SO from one PC to another, the key remains valid, or do i have to reset it from your support ?

It would have been useful a way to be able to test Pimp before buying, so one gets an idea of what you can get with its GPUs.


Thank you.

hello iulius99

sorry for the late reply but we have been very busy as of late even more so
i would like to try and answer all the questions you have and thank you for you interrest in pimp
there are ways in pimp to mod the bios now and we are working on the documentation for that so that should be understandable to do soon .
and we do have atiflash standaard intergrated in our pimp software so both ways can give you higher hashrates.

if you have 1 key that is for one rigg you can transfer it to another rigg but the first has to come down
unless you have a volume key ofcourse then you can have it on more then one rig.

pimp has been a free product till q3 of 2016 so people have been able to test it for free befor that time .
however please read the userguide and the disclaimer for more info on that

also to get an idea on how well your miner could preform have a look at the hashrate page on getpimp.org

hope i have informed you enough

with kind regards,

Hello PiMPs and non PiMPs
 
 
PiMP this month has seen a lot of new people as well as the usual regulars that always seem to know what is going on in crypto!
Thanks to your honest feedback, we went back to the basics. We have been optimizing, slimming down, and bug fixing to get the stability PIMP is known for.
 
Miner.farm has continued to grow in every way. The PIMP farm, the free accounts and subscribers have continued to suggest great ideas and improvements and the service keeps getting better thanks to you!
On top of that it is a awesome way to view control and manage your rigs from 1 rig up to a big farm
This brings me to the best stuff the getPiMP family has put up for all of you to help you stay ahead.
On top of this all we had the breaking may new release for you all and are getting great feedback on that aswell.
 
PiMP:
 
 
PiMP general:
-the new config are in full effect ( please run pimpup to get them the old configs will go out of date and be unusable).
-new cli commands like --add , --delete and --debug are working as a easyway and more stable then we could ever imagine.
-Special thanks to the help of our contributor iceman we have been able to make the images smaller and more secure.
-Special thanks to the help of our friends from SilentArmy we now have a special kernel for the 2.1 version of pimp as well as some other optimizations.
 
 
PIMP 2.1 AMD and NVIDIA Release:
RX 5xx series Support
New AMDGPU 17.10 Drivers
New Linux 4.11 Kernel
Optimized by Silentarmy
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
Created by a Professional Testing and Support Team, the first of its kind in crypto platform development.
Many small bug fixes
 
 
pimp 1.9 and 2.0
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
1.9 rc16b released this is the proper rc16 release
 
 
 
Minerfarm:
 
 
 
The over 640 minerfarm users tell us that the system has a firm and solid foundation.
With more features coming out this year we are also working hard on expanding the way we present and view miner.farm
we have been testing the error reporting and the mailing so that you get the best we can put out for you.
 
 
 
Testing/Support Team Corner:
 
New Testers:
garretthaae
 
Special thank you to thesmokingman and SEH for extensive nvidia development work. Thesmokingman has gone above and beyond what we ask of PIMP Testing/Support Team and we are very thankful.
 
SPOTLIGHT ON QUALITY: % of Copies sold that required support:
JAN: 1%
FEB: <1%
MAR: 3.5%
APR: 2%
MAY: 4%
 
 
 
Dev Teaser:
 
We have been working on the nvidia overclocking scripts overclocking support for amdgpu coming soon. 
 
Feature Spotlight:
 
pimp --test this is a awesome way to see if your setup works like a well pimped out machine. It will show you the start up miner command that it uses, starts the miner and then attaches to the miner screen automatically. This allows you to see more information about what the miner is doing on your rig.
 
Quick Tips:
 
Why do we check sgminer -n in the helpme? You can get right to the point. If the miner can see the GPU, we are pretty much good to go. Beyond this, is just editing the conf file, add miner, start miner. Problems? Probably your conf settings, pool or network issue, or hung GPU.
 
DBCT question of the month:
 
Because we value you as a miner we are constantly working on new things but we could use your help.
What feature are you missing in PiMP ?
mail me at dbct@getpimp.org
 
 
To wrap it up for this month:
 
Crypto mining is getting more traction as it gains more support from the public every day.
With BTC , ETH, ZEC and others reaching for the moon many people turn to the cryptoworld as a great way of making money and having fun and a great time with tweaking and getting the most out of there system.
 
As the first original professional mining OS we are proud and excited about this.
We encourage new miners to try PiMP and start mining and using crypto
 
Stay tuned for more stories and case studies from our friends and supporters and even our competitors, as we dig into what makes a successful mining operation, so we can all grow and learn together with PIMP.
 
Break Break

Hello PiMPs and non PiMPs
 
 
PiMP this month has seen a lot of new people as well as the usual regulars that always seem to know what is going on in crypto!
Thanks to your honest feedback, we went back to the basics. We have been optimizing, slimming down, and bug fixing to get the stability PIMP is known for.
 
Miner.farm has continued to grow in every way. The PIMP farm, the free accounts and subscribers have continued to suggest great ideas and improvements and the service keeps getting better thanks to you!
On top of that it is a awesome way to view control and manage your rigs from 1 rig up to a big farm
This brings me to the best stuff the getPiMP family has put up for all of you to help you stay ahead.
On top of this all we had the breaking may new release for you all and are getting great feedback on that aswell.
 
PiMP:
 
 
PiMP general:
-the new config are in full effect ( please run pimpup to get them the old configs will go out of date and be unusable).
-new cli commands like --add , --delete and --debug are working as a easyway and more stable then we could ever imagine.
-Special thanks to the help of our contributor iceman we have been able to make the images smaller and more secure.
-Special thanks to the help of our friends from SilentArmy we now have a special kernel for the 2.1 version of pimp as well as some other optimizations.
 
 
PIMP 2.1 AMD and NVIDIA Release:
RX 5xx series Support
New AMDGPU 17.10 Drivers
New Linux 4.11 Kernel
Optimized by Silentarmy
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
Created by a Professional Testing and Support Team, the first of its kind in crypto platform development.
Many small bug fixes
 
 
pimp 1.9 and 2.0
New, simplified and easier to understand Managed Mining Profiles and config files
More information provided during key validations
1.9 rc16b released this is the proper rc16 release
 
 
 
Minerfarm:
 
 
 
The over 640 minerfarm users tell us that the system has a firm and solid foundation.
With more features coming out this year we are also working hard on expanding the way we present and view miner.farm
we have been testing the error reporting and the mailing so that you get the best we can put out for you.
 
 
 
Testing/Support Team Corner:
 
New Testers:
garretthaae
 
Special thank you to thesmokingman and SEH for extensive nvidia development work. Thesmokingman has gone above and beyond what we ask of PIMP Testing/Support Team and we are very thankful.
 
SPOTLIGHT ON QUALITY: % of Copies sold that required support:
JAN: 1%
FEB: <1%
MAR: 3.5%
APR: 2%
MAY: 4%
 
 
 
Dev Teaser:
 
We have been working on the nvidia overclocking scripts overclocking support for amdgpu coming soon. 
 
Feature Spotlight:
 
pimp --test this is a awesome way to see if your setup works like a well pimped out machine. It will show you the start up miner command that it uses, starts the miner and then attaches to the miner screen automatically. This allows you to see more information about what the miner is doing on your rig.
 
Quick Tips:
 
Why do we check sgminer -n in the helpme? You can get right to the point. If the miner can see the GPU, we are pretty much good to go. Beyond this, is just editing the conf file, add miner, start miner. Problems? Probably your conf settings, pool or network issue, or hung GPU.
 
DBCT question of the month:
 
Because we value you as a miner we are constantly working on new things but we could use your help.
What feature are you missing in PiMP ?
mail me at dbct@getpimp.org
 
 
To wrap it up for this month:
 
Crypto mining is getting more traction as it gains more support from the public every day.
With BTC , ETH, ZEC and others reaching for the moon many people turn to the cryptoworld as a great way of making money and having fun and a great time with tweaking and getting the most out of there system.
 
As the first original professional mining OS we are proud and excited about this.
We encourage new miners to try PiMP and start mining and using crypto
 
Stay tuned for more stories and case studies from our friends and supporters and even our competitors, as we dig into what makes a successful mining operation, so we can all grow and learn together with PIMP.

hello dragonmike

i would like to invite you to our irc
because i see no reason why it should not but  7 gpu riggs can be tricky though that is why most stay at 6 gpu's per system

next to the mobo there is also what cards are being used and so on

looking forward to see you in our irc

with kind regards

hello iulius99 and toptek

Thanks Toptek for your support and glad you like the product, reading down i will try and give you all the answers that you seem to be so determine to find iulius99.

To get the confusion out the way i would like to say that the subscription sheet you show us applies to the minerfarm monitoring control system product of the getpimp family products.

With pimp OS comes a free version as seen also in the subscription sheet  so people are able to see there miner from anywhere.
The pimp OS you buy the key  for all current (may 11 2017) versions of the OS so you are able to select the one you would need for your rig
What do you get for your one time investment of the OS:
you get a choice for the os (per license ) that suits your rig
you get almost 24/7 live support in our irc pub channel #pimp on the freenode
you get the free version of our minerfarm subscription based service
you get updates that are tested by a professional team
you get a listening ear if you have or want something included in the product (so you are directly involved in the shaping of our product )


i hope this alone will answer your first question, next to this the second question i would agree with toptek , this being said if you are that interrested in the product i would advise you to come in our public chat and have a chat with the pimps.

our target as you point out is the whole mining community for big farms there are solutions and they in turn think allot before they make a choice in OS and in costs.
But for a home miner i know the price is fair because because of what is included in the OS.

I do fail to see one thing and that is why you have a grudge against entities like PiMP and also for this i would like to invite you to our irc
