Hi I just came across this new miner!

I'm trying it out right now on my Vega 56 farm.

Switching from cast-xmr on Ubuntu MATE. SupportXMR pool

Will report back with whether I see a improvement or not hashrate, stability and poolside statistics wise



Hi! Sure, let us know if you have any issues. Not to be hard on cast-xmr, but I would expect for you to see a significant boost in both hashrate and efficiency. I assume you're running recent amdgpu-pro drivers (>= 18.30) to begin with?

Yep 18.30 exact!

Hey eckmar,

Just messaged you on Telegram.

Yes of course, we can arrange a video call, timestamped proof, etc. as needed.

I am creating a formal wireframe diagram right now on Photoshop and Illustrator so developers have a better understanding of what I'm looking for.


Another additional thing I need is a payouts engine, something that is very overlooked.

The way I would like it set up we can discuss.

I need a payout engine developer that can automate payments for at least Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Monero based on the user hashpower and calculated profits based around that hashpower (there is no way I can base the hashpower around the rig's actual output, rather we will be scheduling daily payouts first and reimbursing ourselves)

There are two parts to the payout engine,

Automation process of daily payouts (different protocols for all the different coins)

Independent Mining Profits calculator to calculate daily payouts for automation.

on 29/07/2018, 20:31:52 UTC
Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a website developer to help me with creating a website for our cloud mining operations.

We are a small mining farm located in Canada area and have hashpower and a really good infrastructure behind us. Our focus is to provide cloud mining contracts while providing transparency in regards to our hashpower and hardware. We are documenting all of this on our Instagram.

We need a
-home page
-payment portal
-dashboard
-database
-security in mind

NO WORDPRESS!
Modern, clean, very lightweight.

We are also looking for someone who can integrate Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Ethereum wallets into the website for sending, storing and receiving.

We want to pay our customers the crypto they mine preferably automated based on the hashpower they purchase (100% uptime guarantee).


I have some front-end samples of how I want our website to look! Front page and dashboard.

Our Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/minemycloud

Please message me if you are interested! Must have experience, please include your portfolio!

Re: Having issues getting 2x PSUs to work? 6 x VEGA 56
by

Seems it may just be defective PSUs as my other rigs are still up and running, I am running them through RMA. Will update here my progress


I'll probably move these PSUs to my Ethereum rigs and buy brand new 1300w or 1600w PSUs for these rigs so its just one singular PSU per Monero rig, minimum point of failure.

Have you got a power meter? such as a killawatt or similar.
Have you plugged the psus individually through it(but with the whole system running) to check the power each psu is drawing?
Sounds like you have from your post but I just want to be sure.
Like the previous post, I would check that you haven't got both psus plugged in to the same device somewhere.
Running for 30 minutes could suggest heat build up, is the air flow good?

Baz


Yes I have, through my switched PDU
It has a GUI for this, indicates how much power each bank is using



Was able to calculate 2.4amps per main PSU  (500w)
and 2.1 amps on secondary (450w)

Having issues getting 2x PSUs to work? 6 x VEGA 56
by
knittycatkitty
on 26/07/2018, 04:16:31 UTC
I'm having some issues having two PSUs run concurrently.

I have a few 6x RX VEGA 56 set up that is configured to mine Monero Cryptonightv7

The specs are
Intel Celeron
B250 motherboards (either BIOSTAR B250 BTC PRO or ASUS B250 MINING EXPERT)
COMeap Triple PSU adapter for BIOSTAR motherboard
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
6x VEGA 56
2x EVGA 750 GQ
PCIe risers v007 and v008s (connected via SATA or SATA to PCIe adapter)

APC AP7900 switched 30 amp 208V PDU
4 rigs per PDU

PPT tables
900MHz mem clock @ 900mv across the board (found it to be most stable and consistent)
1400MHz core clock @ 900mv across the board

Power consumption per rig singled out fluctuates between 4.5 amp to 5.3amps (translates to 936w to 1102w per 6-GPU rig) so I know for sure I'm well within the 80% efficiency mark, both per 750w PSU and for both 750w PSUs running

For just running 3x GPUs + main system (single 750w) it is consuming about 2.4amps (equivalent to 500w) so I know that the single 750w is also well below the 80% power consumption mark.


I had it running for a while just fine but I'm starting to notice that some of my PSUs are starting to either fail or the second PSU will shut down while mining 30 minutes in, this is consistent with almost 4 out of 8 machines. The main PSU will still keep chugging along just fine (although I would have to restart the system because 3 cards going offline all of a sudden is a big no-no for Windows)

I also have one special rig which has a 850w G3 and a 750w GQ as secondary and it is also experiencing the same issue (isolates the main PSU from extra heavy load issue if there is any as main PSU is 100w more)

I have extra brand new PSUs (all from different batches) and I am experiencing similar issues

If I switch the main and the second PSU, that second PSU powers the system and 3 cards just fine, and the main PSU shuts off after 30 mins.

I'm really confused whether my PSUs are failing or it's something to do with dual PSU setups I'm missing
I know out of 36 PSUs I have a good amount of defectives so I can rule that out.

Can someone fill me in?

Okay, SOME UPDATE

We have made a new Instagram account, go follow it if you are interested in seeing our progress!

@minemycloud
https://www.instagram.com/minemycloud/

I will try to show as much as I can starting from the facility (at least as much as I can show you without compromising security), mining conditions, GPUs and miners we are using, power set up, internet set up, etc.
I'm excited to start this with everyone!

We are working slowly starting with Monero, going to be setting up 2-4 more racks this week. More hashpower coming within the month ($500k to 1 million worth~ to boot).

Thank you for all the responses

hi brother i'm getting interminent crash with 1.60 on some of my machines? miner doesn't start up past

GPU MAX ALLOC

I have 1.5.2 files on them still and those are running fine, any ideas?


UPDATE: nevermind, i figured it out. disable windows defender on all your miners and make sure you make an exception for srbminer. if it's already flagged, allow the app.

much appreciated, gotta try this out. just updated to 1.5.8 recently but i noticed after a few days the miner would just suddenly stop, hopefully its fixed! will update tonight

Do you have these kind of problems ?

https://i.imgur.com/OWzw7Or.png

no i did not, i would just check my monitoring app and see the miner not hashing after a few days of hashing just fine. remote desktop and i see that the miner app has closed and i have to start back up again,  

not a big deal however. the miner works great.

i haven't updated yet to 1.5.9 to see if it fixed it but i will update sometime tomorrow. will update with my findings.

V1.5.9

- Added "max_difficulty" parameter in pools, if reached miner will reconnect to pool
- Better logging on miner crash
- Kernels are now built in Cache directory
- Probably fixed situation when miner crashes on pool switch
- Fixed .srb file creation on every miner run
- Hopefully reduced nicehash duplicate share errors
- Changed the way devfee pools are used

+ Now you can define a "max_difficulty" for every pool you have in pools config. Sometimes it happens that pool sends abnormally high difficulty, and miner can't find a share for a long time. In this case, by setting "max_difficulty", when ever pool difficulty is higher than the value you set, miner disconnects and reconnects to the pool.

+ There is now a Cache directory where the miner creates cached versions of OpenCL kernels

+ Some reported miner crash after multiple pool disconnect/reconnects , not able to log in etc.. I hope i found the cause of it and fixed it Smiley

+ Learned from the previous big mistake with devfee pools hardcoded in the miner, now miner gets the list of devfee pools from http://srbminer.com, so please allow/don't block it on your firewall

much appreciated, gotta try this out. just updated to 1.5.8 recently but i noticed after a few days the miner would just suddenly stop, hopefully its fixed! will update tonight

Since you are willing to open your own cloudmining services, i recommend that you share with others the mining rigs in the firm, no one will trust those services without proof of mining. Secondly, i think having a positive income - ROI - is a must, users will ask you about how much they need to wait for ROI, the cost of the contract, the maintenance fees...
You have to run it for a period so you can study your project before launching it.


Got it, we can open an Instagram to showcase real photos and videos of our mining rigs in our farm and the progress of growth as people invest. It will have the day's newspaper or date with our company logo on it to showcase that we are making a fresh, new video every time Smiley

ROI-wise I think the majority of it that involves our part simply comes down to how much our mark-up will be because even just building your own mining rig, there is still that endeavor's own ROI waiting period.

We would redirect them to widely available mining calculators, basically as if they were building their own mining rigs. Because we cannot control the market, ROI would be something we cannot indefinitely give our final word on and would be risky for me. The only thing I can control is the price I am offering them our services at.

The simplest answer I have for most people would be that most businesses set up from the ground-up where you don't do much, most people don't begin seeing profits until 2 years minimum down the road. In the field of mining it can be a completely different scenario, but with cloud mining there is mark-ups and maintenance that we take care of for the end user so they have peace of mind at the end of the day.

We are looking into following the same model as Genesis mining and a very low maintenance fee @ potentially 8-10%. Simply a clear marked-up price + electricity costs pegged at $0.06kw/h. We are still comparing with other services to see what we can bring to the table. Contracts will be for 2 years just like Genesis.

So far we are some of the things we are looking to bring to the table of cloud mining services
-User controlled wallets (like how localethereum handles theirs, instant withdrawals, users hold private keys so they can import it to any wallet application they like)
-Low maintenance @ 8-10% and electricity rates @ 0.06kw/h
-No taxes on our business so less overhead to deal with (no taxes, etc passed onto you, so more room with our ability to wiggle with contract prices, you will still have the responsibility of reporting taxes to your respective region outside of this obviously)
-Transparency
-Clean, responsive website based on React.js and Ruby back-end.

More to come! Always looking for suggestions.

We are in the process of developing a website now. If anyone knows a developer they can refer, would be very much appreciated as well.

I will keep updated here our progress

For the meantime here are some pictures of our first rigs we have set up! Customers I met with that wanted to do a per say "test run"

We are setting up more as well at the end of this week, we aren't multi-million dollar operationjust yet but we are working with a sizeable sum of money to start-up with at about $1 million to boot.

We are starting with Monero XMR and simultaenously will be setting up machines for Ethereum and ZCash as well along with some machines directed towards RavenCoin RVN.

Our foundation Monero XMR machine

48x Vega 56 set up hashing @ 1731h/s average each (PPT Tables set up and everything) on Monero XMR.

https://imgur.com/a/brGuHNP
we are filling that whole room up with miners! we're estimating we can easily fill the room with at least $1 million worth (that one rack right there is about $40k-$45k~) and that is just to boot, we have more warehouses and buildings to work with (some former factories).

it's very cold up in this location and we are getting proper intake and exhaust ventillation installed to handle the amount of miners that will come in here, the efficiency of the Vegas definitely help to boot in comparison to past GPUs, a lot less GPUs required for higher hashrates)

New Cloud Mining Company Suggestions?
by
knittycatkitty
on 04/06/2018, 01:08:24 UTC
I'm coming to this forum to ask questions about what most users would want in terms of a cloud mining company?

Recently, I have partnered up with 2 other people and we are looking to expand operations on a small mining farm.

I believe we have the right infrastructure to start one, no taxes, low power cost, lax regulation.

I know all the flack cloud mining gets as far as a business model, and I know there are TONS of cloud mining companies and people who are looking to do the same exact thing we are. However as someone who would like to run a cloud mining company legitimately I can see the list narrows down quite quickly on the "Real or scam" list leading me to believe in reality, the space is not as crowded as it seems. I think largely due to geographical and legal circumstances (ex. two competing mining operations rake in $1 million in profits at the end of the year, one is held responsible for paying 30% taxes while the other has no tax obligations, or maybe one is paying a much higher rate in electricity than the other so they require way more machines, more scaling issues, than the other would to attain the same end profit result. At the end of the day only few situations and places really offer that luxury so there can not possibly be so many cloud mining operations

As someone who wants to start being a cloud mining service provider with all the right things in line, what are the things users look for in a cloud mining company?

Our layout

So far we are planning on doing Monero and Ethereum exclusively, for startup (safer investments, these are GPU investments which can be liquidated and has some value in a secondary market outside of crypto, we have been operational already mining these coins) Then diversifying into ZCash, Bitcoin, and Litecoin (ASICs, I know ZEC is GPU but I consider it a third venture when it comes to mining because it is exclusively mostly NVIDIA-focused coin which have questionable stockade and refresh coming up)

One thing we plan on doing or plan to move towards doing for users is implementing a wallet system similar to localethereum's platform where they give the users their private keys and can generate wallets at any time. Essentially their own wallet not sandboxed in any platform.

Our region is tax free which I believe gives us a very strong edge over many mining operations, legal regulations are very lax, and we have a very low starting power costs (at $0.06kw/h to boot) .

We have a lot of infrastructure to boot to expand to very large controlled growth operations.

Outside the obvious limitations of cloud mining, such as yeah we have to make a profit too, yeah it's not going to be as profitable as if you build your own rig and just did it at your own house (depending on kw/h rates anyways), yeah we pocket a good percentage too, yeah we handle the logistics, etc as well as failures similar to Genesis mining's approach where we shoulder the costs of hardware DOA, majority system downtime, etc. At the end of the day it will be marked up passive income.

Outside of these factors, what can we do as a start-up company to be a good cloud mining service provider? What are people looking for?

U can enable “show bus I’ds” in the ODT settings :-)

i dont have that setting for some reason on my rigs, am using OverdriveNTools

Open OverDrivenTool > right click on title bar > settings > enable: show.. bus number > restart OverDrivenTool

HW error means result from GPU on BUS ID 1 couldn't be validated, so it's discarded. It was not accepted. You should lower intensity or there is too much overclocking, that causes bad results.
Bus id's are used now for GPU identification cause they are unique, so if it says BUS ID 1, then it's BUS ID 1 in overdriventool, gpuz etc etc. It's easier to identify which card causes problems.


is there any way to identify GPUs by busID on overdriveNTool?

I am trying to troubleshoot some cards but the only way i am able to do it at the moment is by changing clock speeds to find out which busID/GPU corresponds to which GPU in the miner (they don't match)

Very time consuming process indeed but I believe the bus ID move is a good step
