Does anybody that picked UPS shipping have a shipping confirmation yet?  It seems DHL and Fedex have starting shipping but I've yet to see a single UPS.  My order was payed within 15 minutes after they activated on the first night, yet I've got no confirmations at all.

Nice, just added my new address to Fedex.  No notifcation yet . . . hopefully soon then since I ordered within 10 minutes of it going live.

Before anyone else jumps on this, remember that there's already another Siacoin ASIC being shipped from https://obelisk.tech/  They're already doing batch 2 so the hashrate might already skyrocket before these Bitmain ones even ship out.

A3 is being shipped out, received a shipping notification through FedEx Delivery manager for delivery on Monday  Grin  Obelisk batches are scheduled to be shipped in June and August.

 Smiley thats great.. im checking my email frequently now because of you! I managed to pick up a small batch of these also..

My Bitmain account still shows unshipped. Shipping notification received is through FedEx (if you have an account, it let's you know of incoming packages).

You need to go back to high school and learn some math; you're not doing it right.

Also, if you are paying 35% taxes in the US, you are either a millionaire with no write offs, deductions or expenses or someone in desperate need of a tax professional.  I'm thinking the latter, since you can't be a millionaire and not understand basic math and tax law.

Yes, for me it's a natural thing that software developers take a percentage of our hashes (DevFee). That's also a very small percentage. Without Dev software, who will connect to the miner's equipment and the pool equipment or the coin algorithm to be mined? Think of it as a sign of gratitude to them.

what is it 1% every hour of 24 hours is  24%a  day  thats basically like getting taxed by the government...\

24% of myt hashes and electricty the righteous DEV has been STEALING from me


not to mention we have to pay taxes 35%  now on your gains, in America at least.

so now 50 cents out of every dollar is being taken from me, this is barbaric

Hi Crackfoo et. al.

Sorry if this is a repetitive question for this board....

But I was wondering if you have anything setup for the Blake(2b) algo for Sia coin?

If not, can we get one setup for the new A3's coming out?

Whatcha think?

Re: Safe to daisy chain two ASUS ROG Strix 1070 ti on a single HX1200i rail?

Yes its similar, but can be used at the command line to set core and mem clocks as well as power. 

Heres a sample of my batch for nvidiaInspector:

SET GPU0=-forcePState:0,0 -setPowerTarget:0,75 -setTempTarget:0,1,70 -setFanSpeed:0,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,50
SET GPU1=-forcePState:1,0 -setPowerTarget:1,75 -setTempTarget:1,1,70 -setFanSpeed:1,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:1,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:1,0,50
SET GPU2=-forcePState:2,0 -setPowerTarget:2,75 -setTempTarget:2,1,70 -setFanSpeed:2,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:2,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:2,0,50
SET GPU3=-forcePState:3,0 -setPowerTarget:3,75 -setTempTarget:3,1,70 -setFanSpeed:3,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:3,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:3,0,50
SET GPU4=-forcePState:4,0 -setPowerTarget:4,75 -setTempTarget:4,1,70 -setFanSpeed:4,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:4,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:4,0,50
SET GPU5=-forcePState:5,0 -setPowerTarget:5,75 -setTempTarget:5,1,70 -setFanSpeed:5,40 -setMemoryClockOffset:5,0,300 -setBaseClockOffset:5,0,50

.\Bin\nvidiaInspector\nvidiaInspector.exe %GPU0% %GPU1% %GPU2% %GPU3% %GPU4% %GPU5%

I use nvidia-smi.exe to see the graphics card stats, but its a command line utility as well.  You can find it here:

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe

Just run it from an command prompt and it will show all the stats in one snapshot.  It can make an xml file which I parse with powershell to pull that stats I want, but just running the exe will give you the basics.

I run those exact components (minus the ti, mine are regular 1070s, but Asus ROG).  I cable two GPU per PCI-e cable,  then two risers per sata cable.  I've had two rigs running like this for over a year.  I was hesitant at first and checked the cables for heat frequently, and have never had an issue.  I do power limit each card to 125 watts with nvidiaInspector.

The power supply only supports 5 GPU (and only cmes iwth 4 cables.. sucks).  I want to have six cards in the rig (both the motherboard and frame support six cards).   Not sure what to do.

Should I buy a cheap power supply for the motherboard and just run the six GPU alone off of the corsair?

Thank you. Is Nvidia inspector like MSI Afterburner?  That's all I have installed right now.  I would love an app that shows all the info on all the graphics cards at the same time.. like temperature graphs , power usage etc.  I have no idea what nicehash does to my poor cards.. thye take control and optimize them.. hoope they aren't wearing them out.

The MSI Duke 1070ti has been running up to 75C or so.  The 3 ROG STRIX 1070 ti's I have run in low 60's to about 67.

Re: [POOL] YAAMP.COM multipool multialgo profit switch with exchange

Not everyone uses only a single miner like that.  I mine based on profitability of the coins and use the API and other factors to determine what to mine automatically, then it generates the run command based on the API data.  I see the API reporting the best port to use as a more elegant solution, since the server would know better.  It would also eliminate the miner needing to sit idle waiting for a timeout before switching.

I'm not sure how many use the API like this but it might encourage its use more to balance the ports.
Aren't these things done within the miner instead? Miners just set failover pools and that's pretty much it, when the first pool:port in your list of pools is not accepting connections anymore your miner just switches to the next one.

I had a thought (you may have had it already too), does the API change the port it publishes if the first port is full?  For the coins that get overloaded and you have a second port setup, it would be cool, for those that use the API to determine what to mine, to have it flip to the second port when the first hits a certain number of connections.

I'm not sure how many use the API like this but it might encourage its use more to balance the ports.

Just an idea!

Thanks.

UPDATE:  Seems to be working now.

Any issues with Luxcoin?  Both of my miners are not starting for some reason.  

Both just sit at this point:
[2018-01-06 18:08:19] Starting on stratum+tcp://yiimp.eu:8333
[2018-01-06 18:08:19] NVML GPU monitoring enabled.
[2018-01-06 18:08:19] NVAPI GPU monitoring enabled.
[2018-01-06 18:08:19] 6 miner threads started, using 'phi' algorithm.

Start params:  Bin\NVIDIA-TPruvot\ccminer-x64.exe -a phi -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.eu:8333 -u Ldf6BHXXeq4BMRoGY3QbhH96dgKQGhLQgb -p sm2

It's a merge mined coin, which means it is mined alongside other coins at no cost to you.  There are no exchanges for it therefore you receive no profit for it, but it didn't cost you any extra work.  You can safely ignore any that show auxPOW.



this ninja is show 0 mbtc that mean no income?

I am seeing this as well.



I guess I will stop mining lyra2v2 for now, as I don't want my rigs doing work for no reason.

No you can't specify what coin you want to mine, just what coin you want to be paid in (if there are enough blocks being found to pay you out).  The whole point of a multipool is to always be mining the most profitable coin, so being able to choose one is pointless.


Hi,

i would like to mine the coin with my S9 Antminer an i test this config.

stratum+tcp://sha256.mine.zpool.ca:3333
my BTC wallet adress
c=UNB

is this wrong ? because the S9 say

stratum+tcp://sha256.mine.zpool.ca:3333   my BTC wallet adress  Dead .


can anybody help me plase.

I have this exact same problem  (I use c=BTC)
I tried to remove stratum+tcp:// too same thing

Yes, c= means in what currency you want to get paid ... I also came here to ask is there a password parameter that can lock you to a single coint to mine (but get paid in another).

So, devs, or anyone else? Is there such option here? In Prohashing c= shows the coin you want to mine specifically, here we saw already it's not the case ...

His twitter feed is on the front page and the top tweet states the issue.  Best of both.

I would like to know why this happened too. Seems to be just zpool. Hashrefinery still provides good profit rates for neoscrypt. Hmmm...
You should be checking zpool's twitter sometimes.

The webpage itself would seem like the most logical place to put an announcement no?

Everyone would see it because they are already there... twitter is cool, but why go outside your own site to give news?

Twitter is for when the site is down and you can't even get on to see what is happening.

Re: Obelisk tech to release Miner for Decred with the DCR1

Always research the company behind these things . . .

Obelisk is a subsidiary of Nebulous Inc, which is the company behind the SIA blockchain development.  Nebulous is a company based in the US and you can actually identify and name its owners and the people behind it.  If it goes south, their reputation is on the line as well as the US legal system being brought to bear on them. They have also been quite open about what they are doing and where their funding comes from.

A few links for your reading:
https://blog.sia.tech/

How can anyone be sure that these are real? That this is not a scam?

Re: From mining ETH to...

on 13/08/2017, 02:48:27 UTC
With the OP's hardware, eth mining hasn't been the best profit since mid to late last year; if you are switching now, you missed out on a whole lot of profit.  But hey, better late than never to up your profits. Smiley  Look at whattomine.com, plug in your numbers and that will give you a good baseline for the minimum you should be making with your rig.  From there look at zpool.ca and yiimp.ccminer.org for the best algo's to mine using ccminer variants as your miner software.  Ethash dual mining can still be profitable with 1070s as well so keep claymore around for those when they are good.

Do your research and run the numbers to find the best thing to mine each day.  And yes, you should be checking daily to make sure you are at top profit . . . or find and automated way to do it.  (MultiPoolMiner, MinerControl, Nicehash, etc).

Re: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option
by
jwarren81
on 12/08/2017, 19:43:52 UTC
Exactly.  My rigs are always on the most profitable algo and I switch my payouts based on my long and short term goals.  When SIGT came a long I did switch to dedicated mining for the first couple days though since it was a bit unique.  Glad I did, then zpool picked it up so I switched back to multi-algo mining and skunk has been at the top of the list most of the time since then; but plenty of other float up day to day.  You also have to keep up on your mining software as well, skunk has been getting regular new release from multiple sources.  

Its all about the effort you put in to keep it moving forward.

If you are only looking at the front page of whattomine (and even the coins page), you are missing a significant part of the mining market; and also some of the most profitable.  They don't list skein, skunk, tribus, nist5, hmq125, x17 and others; each with coins that can be more profitable day to day than those listed on the front page.  Hell, skunk (SIGT) has been above it for days if not weeks and 1080ti's kill it with that coin.

You should use whattomine as the baseline to show the MINIMUM you should be making with your rigs, with MINIMUM effort.  Then if you want to put in the effort, you can make more, but you need to keep an eye on the forums and markets so you are maximizing your profits.  You also need to consider the rise in value of new coins . . . lots of people have made a lot of money on SIGT because they got in early.  If I count the gains on that alone, its $100+ a day for my rigs.  But that takes work and paying attention to the market and community.

A lot of misinformed or ill-intentioned people will say they make 50%+ more than the best profits in whattomine. That's a lie. Mining only becomes more profitable if the price rises through community adoption. There is no such thing as a "secret" coin no one knows about that is making better profit than everything on whattomine.

thats what im doing, i dont care about earning 3$ dollars a day, im trying to find coin with some nice rise in the future. But the crypto market is huge, this is incredible how much coins are created, that make it difficult to choose one....

You can trade the coins

Do not mine what you think will rise

Mine what's profitable then trade into what you imagine will rise. Just looking at what you can mine limits your optionsa nd means you're not making the best plays

People who do this are idiots...

Even SIGT, they shioudl have been trading those coins every day for better gains until it started rising again. . .

Picking a coin you imagine is going to go up is the child's way of mining. This isn't 2012 we're not all mining one coin.

The site can mis-identitfy a wallet address sometimes.  Eventually it will clear it self up, especially once the payout occurs.  I am currently specifying c=SIGT on mine, with a SIGT address, but the statistic page says its BitToken.  I'm waiting for the next payout to see if it corrects itself, but usually it does.

I have a Topaz Coin address, local walet
http://Http://www.zpool.ca says this is the address of taj coin

I am still not understanding what you are asking.

http://zpool.ca/?address= input the address you mine to in this page to view statistics.

taj coins is mined along with many others in the blake2s algo; you can use this as a payout coin.

c=TAJ in password;  TAJ address as username.  Don't forget to include the algo name you are mining in the password as well.  Remember you can mine any algo.
