...

one question though, why aren't the risers powered?  Huh
If the cards are powered by 6/8 pin plugs and aren't strictly powered by the pcie connector, there shouldn't be a need for the risers to be powered. Seems to be the case here.

I wasn't aware of that, you learn something new every day! thanks  Cool

Hi, the risers aren´t powered because when I finished the assembly I took the photos, and then I connected it to the power.

Regards.


Hows the heat dissipation? I'd expect it to get quite warm as all the heats going into the center

Depends on the graphics cards and the heatsink design. Most of the heat from my graphics cards come out of the top of the card (EVGA 1080gtx) so it might not push as much heat into the center.

Hello, you can stack another hexagon in an easy way, but the problem will be the wiring, you will need so long cables.

Regards.
Not to mention but also the weight on the wall. I would think it would be better to just add another on the wall next to it unless of course you fill up a whole room with one long hexagon... Wink

I think it's more likely that eth goes to $350 before rising again next year.

Re: mkxminer: fast Lyra2rev2 miner for AMD GPUs (Vertcoin, MONA, VERGE, Galactrum)

The question I have to ask is why are you mining lyra2v2 coins when you can be mining crptonight v7? Your losing a fortune given that monero is highly profitable. If you want vertcoin or monacoin etc. you simply buy them after selling monero. Vega cards are cryptonight monsters.

Mining is a hobby not an investment.  So I knowingly leave some $$$ on the table, I don't want to increase the number of trades I have to report by auto-swapping, so I mine the coin I want to hodl.  On top of that my returns have been higher than most online calculators have predict, so on average my mining returns are fairly close to any other algorithm.

Periods like the past week or so with XMR and vega are a bit of an exception, but I have other reasons that I want to push and tune my vegas for lyra2re2 as well.

Speaking of which, I have all 6 of my vega 64s running at 60MH/s (barely) while at -25% power limit. (1460watts at the wall for the whole rig) 

I think I've hit the limit without further increasing voltage/power draw, as stability (and hashrate) goes down if all cards aren't running at the same speed, and it went unstable when I tried ~5mhz higher.  So I think I'm pretty much done.  I might try to see how far I can lower memory voltage....I probably have a bit more room there.  Helps with heat control.

Something else that gave me a little bit more OC headroom, is to find out the average voltage that your core oscillates around at your desired power limit, and edit your power play tables to have more options around that average.

In my particular case, my cards average at ~900mV at their power limit, so I have p-states at 800,850,875,900,925,950,1025,1100.  So a higher number of voltage options with smaller voltage jumps right around that average for the card to jump around to.  That is useful if like me you can't get your cards stable at a constant voltage.

This is a measure of scale. The bigger your investment the less it's a hobby. I would normally agree with you about not caring about what you mine when the differences are small in profits. I draw the line where I can earn 50% more by mining something else. Even if you just wanted to you could use nice hash to mine the v7 algo and receive higher payment in bitcoin short term. The only reason I would want to mine directly is if I think that coin is going to at least double in the next three months. Other wise your just better off paying taxes.

Have 6xvega 64s, running at ~58-59MH/s each while pulling ~1470w from the wall while overclocked/undervolted.  Still dialing in optimal settings.  Using the newest version of the miner with intensity 23 and including the --asm command in my batch.



The miner will occasionally stall when trying to adjust difficulty, and just go idle......so I use HWinfo Alerts to run a script that restarts the miner if it detects my gpu temps fall for a minute.



Anyone also running these cards?  What settings do you use?

I don't touch forked coins at first place, second there was clear picture from the start that ZCL will be used for something else which is called BTCP. That was alarming situation to stay away at least when it went through the roof. Two controlled coins from the same people behind the scene were going to drop one and that was ZCL to be left in the middle of way.

One more thing, he controls more coins other than ZCL/BTCP, and not even one of all these is in active development. Cheater needs to be taught a lesson.

He is going for quite a risky strategy given that the legal environment where he is located might be tightening.

For sure.

I also think he is intentionally misleading many people and he did it to cash in big times on the BTCP fork now. I wonder if that is his last project or whether he will come up with yet another idea for another fork soon.

Anyone involved in ZCL should have been very careful about profiting from the fork otherwise they could face serious legal issues to include imprisonment.  I would tend to believe things are on the up and up until proven otherwise.  A lot of people here simply say whatever and have no proof.   That's just not right.  I think many people are here purely to sway the market Sad

I wouldn't believe anything I read on these forums unfortunately.  Trust but verify.

I would say that it depends on the specific circumstances in any individual case. If someone had an unfair advantage over others and exploited it, that would be a reason to be imprisoned but who can prove that?

Fair point, but if serious investigations will be launched against the initiators of this scheme I think they could find something out.

so says the token shill !!  Wink lol

The token I wear the signature of is fully transparent about every single step they do. Do you know how transparent the ZCL fork was? On a scale of 1 (not transparent at all) to 10 (fully transparent), what would you say?

-1 minus one. LOL!

The thing is I think the original developers are mostly out of the picture now. I still don't know what bitcoin private is supposed to do yet.

Calling Bitcoin the 'biggest bubble in human history', eminent economist Nouriel Roubini predicted that the virtual currency - currently on a tailspin that erased nearly $500 billion of market value over the past month - will crash to zero value.
Roubini, also known as 'Dr Doom' for accurately predicting the 2008 financial crisis warned that some people would use a market manipulation tactic known as wash trading to prop up the price.
Wash trading in the crypto world involves someone buying and selling their own order to manipulate markets.
A professor of economics at Stern School, part of the New York University, Roubini has been sceptical about Bitcoin since its inception, calling it a "gigantic speculative bubble."

Why let it go to zero? Sell at $15,000 and buy back double that amount at $2,000. Rinse and repeat...At some point the market will reach an equilibrium between utility and perceived market value. At $1,000 that would give bitcoin a market cap of just $21 billion. That would be equivalent to market cap of just one medium sized company. I think I would be a buyer at $1,000 dollars given the amount of infrastructure already put into the bitcoin ecosystem. IMHO...

Hi,
any chance to have working links for windows version ? ( not coming from a newbie account )

Many thanks

see eddos link a few posts before. It works with both windows and linux with a few tweaks under linux readme file.

The bitcoin boom is coming to an end. And the death of this short era of craziness regarding crypto currency is quite possibly the work of government regulators

Yes and No...The complications of the us tax agency might cause others to do business elsewhere (Like europe). when you can walk up to any merchant in the world and use bitcoin instead of cash, credit, or atm visa then bitcoin will continue to surge. Right now I think the lightning network is a blessing and a problem at the same time. short term no ones making money on mining but if the amount of transactions go way up and costs go way down then bitcoin + lightning will surge again. we might be going sideways for six months until this happens.

Yes update win links plz.

This thing crashes on RX580 rig, when i try to add --platform it does not recognize the syntax

any use example for someone hitting verge on RX570\580 with blockchain drivers plz?

thxx

Make sure your mining pool can handle tls. if not you need to change the the parameter from tls to tcp in the batch file. This worked for me on suprnova. you don't need the platform if you syntax is correct.

I can't seem to get mkxminer to work with my local node. It says connected and then after a few minutes it un-connects.

These are my settings. Is something wrong or missing?

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

mkxminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://localhost:9181 -u My Wallet -p My Password -I 22

I just checked and isn't this setting for setting up your own node. If your new to mining then you should try to get a feel for mining by connecting to someone else's pool.

Correct, I'm not new to mining. Also I used One-click Miner to setup my node and it works fine albeit slow with sgminer.




I would think you would get decent results using some pool like suprnova for mining vertcoin, monacoin, or verge coin. I just read a little about it (one click) and I'm not crazy over simplified miner solutions. I use my own miner or I use nicehash legacy miner.

drivers are crashing if i leave asm param in the batch file what can i do to fix this?
RX 580 8GB card with latest drivers and Win 8 with latest update

turn off compute in wattman or run blockchain drivers
What does compute do then? Does it just allow you to run more than 8 cards? Because if you can get better performance not running on compute I'd like to know.

The only people that have a right to complain are the ones who didn't get their bitcoin private coins when they had them parked in their wallets.. I do think that there should have been ample time for coin buyers to learn what exchanges we're going to carry the coin after the fork. The general vagueness about information could be construed as a form of fraud if the team doesn't come forward with more info soon.

I guess that ZCL price will hit about 1 $   while the BTCP can be about 100 $ at start .. later it can be about 60 -80 $ ... Such prices should be very real.

even in it's worst crypto markets zclassic has not been below $1.2 for a long time. If it goes back down to $2 I would be a heavy speculator then again.

It was less than one dollar form 30 nov 2016 till march 2017 ... Actually the price starts to rise when the fork was announced.




Yeah, I recognize these months ago, dev is just pump and dumper, with other family and friends pump and dumpers, first let down everyone, than buy, when everybody is selling, than create announcement, and hype the sht out of it, then dump, because BTCP, can't even go on bittrex, so it's value will be much less. Rinse and repeat (at least with Zencash they were added to bittrex).

Nope. If they've got millions of coins from bitcoin they will list bitcoin private. How else are they going to sell them for tens of millions of dollars.

I have 140 zcl how much i btcshit i wil recieve?
depends? if you we're on bittrex you should get it all if holding zclassic. If you we're holding bitcoin your SOL. they will get to keep all the btcp for those holding bitcoin. Nothing like windfall profits for exchanges.

I think proof of stake is all bullshit. I think that they have a crapload of coins because it makes it cost more to steal than its worth under their proof of stake system. Eth will be in the crapper tomorrow if it shifts to proof of stake. What High dollar value coin is greater than $100 that is proof of stake? Maybe Neo? I don't know but I don't have a lot of faith in centralized proof of stake systems.

there is no problem with the miner. In the batch file there is tls or tcp parameters which can affect your miner tremendously. with my 3 570s and a single 580 I'm getting between 25-27 mhs. The question is what pool are you mining and what settings are you using in the miner? I didn't use the asm option because my pool didn't support it. I didn't use the TLS option because my pool didn't use it. My biggest problem with using amd cards in general are the buggy drivers that constantly change my settings (in wattman) especially when I'm mining nicehash. The only setting that stays stable for me is the -15% power setting and the temp setting. everything else tends to get wonky.
