Im not sure. Im itching to buy this miner myself, but dont trust those resellers. Too many bad experiences from other users. Not being able to find anything out about the manufacturer also scares me off.

As far as I've read the "trusted vendor" on asicminervalue is not worth much.

I just noticed that I linked the wrong site when I talked about a "trusted vendor"; was actually talking about https://asicminermarket.com/

So, found that one:
https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/dayun/zig-z1

Is it a thing, or a scam like someone thinks?

It is also sold by https://asicminermarket.com/product/28nm-lyra2rev2-asic-miner-dayun-zig-z1-ship-now/ , which is a known trusted website (correct me if wrong).

Could not find infos about the company or an official website tho.

Just some resellers like:

https://coinminingcentral.com/
https://prominerz.com
https://www.cryptominerbros.com

All shared opinions/informations are welcome!

Powering 12 gpu with 1 PSU - how to split cables for risers
by
kakoluckiam
on 25/06/2018, 06:35:38 UTC
Hi everyone!
So, I've bought some of those https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07C1QWM8S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1YAZWMMSVJHC4&psc=1
They work just fine on my vega rigs, so I'd like to use them for 12x 570 rigs aswell.
The problem is, that PSU comes with 6 PCI cables (12 6+2 connectors in total) and 4 utility cables (each cable has 2x sata and 2x molex, so 8x sata and 8x molex total available).
Is there a way to split the utility cables to power the 12 risers and the ssd? I know a riser can pull up to 75W, so I was wondering if using 2x molex + 1x sata from each cable may cause fire somehow. At the end of it, the main question is how many watts can one of those utility cables provide safely without getting overloaded?
PS: i'm using 006c version risers, so eventually I would get molex to 6 pin and sata to 6 pin adapters.
Thanks!

PCI 1x risers power requirements with psu cables

Hi there.
So, I bought 2 of those https://www.amazon.com/KKmoon-Switching-Efficiency-Ethereum-180-260V/dp/B077JD399B/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1529180530&sr=8-6&keywords=kkmoon+switching for my 2 vega rigs of 6 cards each, and it works fine.
Now, since it has 12x 6+2 pin, I was going to try it also for a 12x 570 rig.
The problem is that it comes with 4 cables, each with 2x sata and 2x moles, and if I had to follow the "rule", I could only power 2 risers with each cable (got the 6pin to sata risers), so 4 risers left.
Also, I need 2x sata connectors for the mobo (those for multiple gpus)..
Would it be risky to run 3 risers on each cable, with mixes sata and molex connectors? Also considering that 2 of those cables would have the 4th connector on the mobo.
Thanks!

Guys are you sure mining smartcash is profitable?
WTM gives me -45$ for a month?
10X RX580 nitro + 8GB hashing at 2200mh/s, extra power for dual mining approx +400W (40W wach card)
-> https://whattomine.com/coins/197-smart-keccak?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=2200.0&p=400&fee=2.0&cost=0.12&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

With what cards are you mining SmartCash ? What hashrate?

Ppl should rly drop WTM and learn to make calculations themself

Has anyone found a way to mine keccak? Whatever coin I try to mine, on whatever pool, i get 100% rejected shares on keccak.
Why is that?

How to configure claymore to mine keccak
by

Hi there.
I've search all around, but seems like no one is really interested in mining keccak, while I am.
I can't manage to make it work.
When i try to mine SMART, the official pool gives a authentication error.
When i try to mine other coins like CREA, i just get 100% rejected shares.

Does claymore have problems with that algo or i'm doing something wrong?

Just in a few minutes all should be fine.

*Edit ... all should be fine again.

can I ask why my average expected shares (the % i see in the summary) is always lower than the % shares i actually get on found blocks?

Hello, old reader, new user here. I got 13 rigs and wanted to share my experience with XVG pools.

I started with unimining last week. Found out they were stealing from me, so I switched to antminepool. Everything was great for a week (except for disconnects), but yesterday at noon, they became shady too.

Here are two screenshots from my Mining Observer app:
 - Yesterday at 11:47 in the morning: https://ibb.co/dDzY87
 - Today at 11:40 in the morning: https://ibb.co/gWJh1S

That is around 40% less profits in one day, while the difficulty stayed the same. I am going to switch pool today.

And to other pool admins:
Dont try to steal from us. We are not dumb, we will notice and will go on different pools. So instead of having regular incomes from fees, you'll get nothing.

this. i noticed the exactly same thing started yesterday morning, asked about it on discord support and.. guess what, got removed from the channel, lol.
I'm on nlpool atm, if we don't consider the orphans, it's pretty close to what it's supposed to be.
Any alternatives?

i'm the only one noticing a 20-40% drop in antmine rewards?
Have been fine until this morning, i started receive less XVG every block, while the found blocks didn't increase.
Guess going to switch to nlpool and give it a try with some rigs..

If I can give a tip, a executable which allows to set individual gpu parameters would be very appreciated (and pretty easy to realize I guess, just something that translates input boxes to a .conf file).
Setting voltage and clock values become a bit frustrating for people like me that do it for every single gpu (happens to have rigs with different memories).

Btw: versione 11 is gr8, mining 32mh eth and 18gh xvg on 580s.
Keep the good work, fee totally deserved as always.

higher calculated hashrate than reported hashrate.. error or luck?
by
kakoluckiam
on 25/01/2018, 19:47:24 UTC
As title says, my reported hashrate, the one I see on claymore, is about 755mh/s.
My calculated hashrate is about 10% higher, even on the 6 hours report.
How's that possible?
Btw, I'm dual mining, and It's the same on the second algo.
Isn't it weird?

Re: 24x RX 580 8GB rig - Here are my results!

which memory straps are you using if you dont mind me asking.
I have a few hynix cards that cant get anywhere near those numbers
Gonna post them tomorrow, my rig is in a separate building.
Basically after some attempts, I noticed that overclocking and undervolting directly the rom is much more stable than doing it with softwares/claymore config.
The straps are self made btw.

24x RX 580 8GB rig - Here are my results!
by
kakoluckiam
on 15/01/2018, 21:36:52 UTC
Hey guys!
I just finally completed my first 12x gpu rig (finishing the second 12x one tomorrow), and I'd like to share my results to understand if they're good or if something can be improved.

The GPUs I used in the first rig were Sapphire Pulse 8GB with Hynix memory. I tryed different bios, made some myself aswell. At the end, that's what I got:

31,5 MH/s ETH and 475 SC (only eth 140W from wall, dual 150W from wall).
I'm using 1200 clock and 2250 memory, at 850v and 875v.
The temperature never gets over 62°.
I could run even 825v on memory on some GPUs, but 2-3 of them get instable, so I just set them all on 875v.
Out of the 12 GPUs, only 1 is giving memory errors (nothing but, about 5/minute), the other 11 gave 0 errors in 2 hours.

I'd also like to ask a thing, aren't those GPUs supposed to get about 100-130w on the voltage I applyed?

Comments and suggestions are welcome as allways!

Re: Sapphire Pulse 580 8gb how to mod bios and OC - 12x GPU rig

You can install Windows either using the onboard video or a single card connected to the PCI-E x16 slot through a riser.  You can flash/save the Bios of up to 10 cards connected in Windows using AtiFlash and Powershell. Connect 10 cards and save the orginal Bios by naming it according to the cards index in Powershell, so you know which card it belongs to. Then remove all the cards and connect the rest of the cards to save the Bios. You need to verify all the cards the have the exact same memory type and Bios with Polaris Bios Editor before you flash the Bios back to the card. If they all have the same Bios and memory type, you can flash the same Bios to all the cards after you do the Bios mod.

https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor/tree/9ec64066eecdb55ac86da7bc82181eaab2161d51

After you have all the cards Bios modded, run DDU in safe mode to remove the driver installed by Windows and disable the Windows automatic driver install, then select clean and shutdown to remove the drivers. To run more than 8 cards in Windows you need to use the latest AMD Adrenaline drivers. After shutdown connect all the x1 GPU risers to the motherboard and install the latest driver. Also enable the group policy to disable driver updates since you don't want Windows Update to update the drivers.

gpedit ==> Computer Configuration ==> Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.

Afterburner will not work with the latest drivers and multiple cards. Either use the Claymore config file to apply the overclock and undervolt settings at runtime, or use OverNdrive tool to create overclocking profiles for your cards as explained on www.mining.help.

Thank you so much mate.
I thought that win10 1079 version combined with the blockchain drivers recognizes up to 12 cards, doesn't it?

Sapphire Pulse 580 8gb how to mod bios and OC - 12x GPU rig
by
kakoluckiam
on 12/01/2018, 23:36:37 UTC
Hi there. So, i've been reading some guides around and figured out something; still have some dubts.
What is the correct procedure to make it work the best way?
For what I learned, it should be (considering I'm starting the rig for the first time and that I've 12 cards with a H110 pro btc):
1)plug only 1 GPU to the 16x directly, install windows, no driver install.
2)make a backup with atiflashtool, restart the rig.
3)load a modded bios, restart the rig.
4)install latest blockchain computing drivers, restart the rig.
5)use afterburner or trixx to OC the GPU and to undervolt it.
6)add the cards 1by1, flashing, overclocking and undervolting them 1by1 (if they all have the same memory).

Anything wrong? Do I need to overclock and undervolt the cards with afterburner/trixx or the modded bios does it already?
And do I need to do the point 6. stuffs 1 gpu by 1?

Thank you so much!

Hi there.
So, here is the pic
http://i65.tinypic.com/102ov35.jpg
My riser arrived with this black gum glued on their bottom side.
I tryed to indicate them on the pic with the red arrows.
Do I have to remove those or are they made to stay there?
Because if I remove them, the bottom side with be touching my aluminium frame, and I don't think that's a good thing.

12 GPU rig - psu/gpu dubts
by
kakoluckiam
on 11/01/2018, 20:46:21 UTC
Hi there.
So, I got my 24x sapphire pulse 580 8GB and the rest of the hardware.
I'm going to make 2x rigs with 12 gpus on each, using H110 pro btc motherboard.
My concernings are about the GPU installing and PSU efficiency.
I have 2x Corsair HX1000 (1000W plat rated) for each rig, but I am afraid that the 2000W won't be enough. Somewhere I read the cards use 130/150W each, somewhere I read they use 80/100W each.
And which is the correct way to install the gpus the first time? Should I put just one in, install the OS, overclock and undervolt it, flash the modded bios and than do the same on the other cards 1 by 1?
Or I can make it faster?
Because if I'm not wrong, 2000W won't surely be enough for the 12 cards on stock settings.
