Thanks for your help / advice guys... always better to hear other peoples views.

I am hopefully planning add 2 x AMD rigs to compliment our existing 580 rig...

and then start adding Nvidia rigs aswell to make a mini farm.

I have not looked into the 1660ti so I will do some research into these... but its looking likely I will have 1070 and 1660ti rigs going forward.

Do you guys mine to coinbase wallets and extract onto a Ledger Nano or sell/trade weekly/monthly?

Thanks

Hi,

Am I right in thinking that the Algo will be changing so it will be more difficult to mine ETH with AMD cards?

We are looking into the 1070 side of things now, just trying to figure out what price we should be paying for a full 6 rig setup.

We are not in it for daily profit more the long term game.... but looking to make a small farm with about 10 rigs in total.

Thanks

Hi,

I have been offered 6 x Gigabyte 1070's (used - Not for mining though) for £1000

I am not mining for daily profit as currently I am paying 12p (UK) per KWH - I am long term mining to hold the coins and hopefully waiting for them to rise and then sell/trade.

I am also in the process of setting up solar energy to help with the running cost (day time) then battery charge to pickup the 4/5 hours and then use economy7 electricity thereafter before the sun comes back up and goes through the same process.

Thanks

Hi,

I am looking to expand our GPU mining setup... adding another rig..

We already have a RX 580 ROG setup ticking along with 30mhs per card.... In your guys opionion should we now be looking to add Nvidia rig to the setup?

I understand the ALGO could be changing soon for ETH which will make our RX580 not as usuable.

Would you guys reccomend adding the next rigs as 1070's...? We are aiming to have about 10 x 6 card rigs.

Thanks

Hi,

I have been looking around and this is what has been suggested and the most I can personally get...

Let me know your thoughts.

I am running 6x 580's - I am not running OC at the moment - I added a preset one from inside HIVEOS last night and it dropped down to 140mhs so I obviously reverted back to standard this morning.

I can send you a screenshot but obviously nothing to show you.

Do you have a reccomendation on OC settings - I didt want to start messing until I found something that has been tried and tested - as I did not want to break anything lol :-p

Hi,

I have now made the switch over to HIVEOS as it is a free option and fairly easy to use.

I am setup mining ETH for now just to make sure settings are correct and fund are being recieved at the wallet address.

My question is this?

I am miining using RX 580 8GB Strix ROG - and I am pulling 155.5mhs for 890W (according to HIVEOS) - does this seam right or should I be getting more?

Thanks

Anthony

Really depends on your taste. Havent used SMOS for while now, as i switched on hiveos and very happy with it. Just in that time when i started to use it was much more advanced. Dont know if SMOS has integrated same main features as hive does, but if they do then hive is always first to update their software with latest features like telegram notifications, aggressive undervaluing, mem tweak tool....etc. Would suggest you to try it out, at start it seems very complicated, but when starting to use its very easy.
I have made installation guide also https://mineshop.eu/2018/07/27/how-to-install-hiveos-and-setup-for-mining/

Thanks mineshop.eu - I will give it a go later as me "Free Trial" is coming to an end with SMOS (which is fairly easy and straightforward to use)

Anyone have any personal opinion on what to mine with 580's?

I am in the process of saving up now for an NV rig...

Thanks

Anthony

£1100 - Second hand

I am currently using SMOS - Might try HiveOS next.... but I have it up and running and hopefully configured right... I will have to wait until my first payout to confirm this - But It is mining to my specified wallet address so lets see what happens.

I am going to do more reading up which coins etc... but just starting with ETH at the moment.

Hi all,

I have finally pulled the trigger and purchased a GPU mining (6 x ASUS AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB rig to mine alt coins, to accompany my ASIC Miner (Antminer S9).

The mining rig I have purchased comes with EthOS preinstalled - Would you guys reccomend this as a starting OS or should I move to something like SMOS or HiveOS?

I will be looking to have this mining rig setup at a remote location away from my home address, so being able to remotely control the unit is a must (although I will be around the unit 6 out of 7 days)

I have watch verious videos about each OS but still on the fence which one would suit me best?

Any help / advice always appriciated.

Thanks
