My A6 in a spare room in the house, but it's quickly getting too warm to run it inside.  Been running it only at night lately, but even that will stop soon.  I might move it to the garage if I can find a clean way to run the ethernet cable.

A Gekko stick and 6 nanofury sticks, just for fun.

It's not the preferred method but since you seem to be desperate to relocate it (since you're not even running it 24/7) you could use powerline!

I think you'd be perfectly fine with the first board you suggested, if you're only looking to build 1 rig and aren't ready to expand.. there's no reason to go "all out" on it

It's definitely more than $190 to build lol, also keep in mind that $3600 price doesn't include shipping or a power supply, so it could easily get up to $24k for ordering 6

I installed a garage door vent in mine, still have another that I need to install in the top, but it's already improved the temperatures a lot!

Took a little less than an hour to install.

Long-term I plan on installing some gable vents along the top sides of my garage to allow for more airflow.

Re: Mining with network connection instead of CPU

First thought is that the rewards would be insanely low for any average "network miner", considering people could just use gigabit or 10gbps servers. Also the availability of "transactions to mine" would be very low since the available bandwidth would be so high... Reminds me of how Storj, Burst and other "hard drive mining" coins declined so quickly..

Why even bother to mine with a few minres and earn a couple of dollars a day.  Mining is only worth it if you can build a big farm with a lot of capital.  Most of you guys are better off working a regular job and just buying crypto.

Or do all 3? Define "big farm with a lot of capital" please. lol

Re: Is this an Asics ETH Miners ??

stable 120 Mhs on each miner
total of 2,015,214 Mh/s on nanopool !!!!!
this is not normal !!!

it's around a $10M investment if they started a year ago, there were a couple other large miners like this on ethpool and ethermine back when they showed top miners, it's definitely not ASICs.

10 is pretty common for an rx 560, that's how much I get on mine, how much are you expecting? Also what's the memory type?

Re: Help: extreme low hashrate on new rx570 4GB

Hi miners,

I am building my second mining computer and bump into all kinds of problem.
I have gigabyte RX570 4GB, XFX RX570 4GB x2 and GTX1060 3GB
Installed latest amd driver, windows 10.
test run on minergate, gtx1060 got 20Mh/s which is normal.
however, all three rx 570 got only 10Mh/s.

test run on nicehash benchmark, rx570 get 17Mh/s. which is better but still way to lower than I am expecting.
It should be 26Mh/s stock. people gets 31Mh/s after bios mod and overclock.

Here is my computer's config:
msi z370 gaming plus, i3-8100, windows 10 home.
amd rx570 x3, rx580 x1. I installed the latest amd software

Radeon Software Edition
Adrenalin

Radeon Software Version
18.2.1

Driver Packaging Version
17.50.17.03-180131a-323782E-RadeonSoftwareAdrenalin

what i m missing? any help?
Thanks

People only get 31MH/s with the best memory chips, who made the memory in your 570? You can check with GPU-Z.

Re: Always watch youtube videos first before connecting multiple power supplies

Fried my first card last night - https://imgur.com/a/I8Nh4

Turns out you're not supposed to connect anything else to the molex cable that's going into the add2psu, also you're supposed to power all risers with the primary PSU, any other tips/tricks y'all know of?

This looks like a heavily overclocked card that just blew up. Seems like the card received more current that it could chew.

It actually wasn't overclocked at all, it blew up within seconds of powering up the rig  Sad I was powering risers with both PSU's which I now know is a no no.

Hello. Did I understand correctly? This is pre-sale stage now? What token price?

10 cents each but if you purchase during the pre-sale you'll get an extra 20%, minimum is $2500 during this stage

Maybe thats the big drop on cryptopia? Lets see what 2018 brings. Hopefully a new wallet in short time Wink

It was manipulation, it's already recovered.

It's really interesting how the staking percentage seems to be at least double the 5% originally stated, anyone else noticing this? I'd assume it's related to the network weight and the amount of other wallets that are staking.
