WOOF COIN

Since the beginning of the pandemic, pet surrendering rates have increased dramatically around the world. Waitlists for surrendering household pets have increased to a remarkable eight months as animal shelters and welfare organisations have seen an increase of 34% for animals needing help.

Typically, animal shelters are under resourced and under financed; relying heavily on donations and the volunteer efforts to assist animals.

This is where Woof Coin steps in. As avid lovers of dogs, we wanted to make a difference. Using the power of Proof of Work mining, we’ve created a coin where miners are contributing to the donation of money to animal welfare shelters. These shelters initially include the ASPCA who already have a cryptocurrency donation mechanism but with intention to expand to the RSPCA and other organizations suggested by the community. 

Our aim is to put animals first and we intend on developing ongoing relationships with pet shelters to help adoption.

If your vega wull be with Hynix mem then expect no more than 1.8kh/s cryptonight, neo and eth speeds - don't know

I think you just got unlucky with the Hynix. My gigabyte custom V56 with Hynix does 1950+ no softpowerplay mod, just 1411mhz clock 940mem 0 power target. Probably chews through many watts of power, but at least it's stable!

Very long ago, some experienced here said they would be a big failure if they did not reach 80mhs in eth with vega cards.
XMR will soon switch to new algo, and look like vega will stay as one big epic fail.
Like their custom version, came out too late in too small a volume.

Not really, my Vegas paid for themselves nicely in October-November... everything above that is a bonus now. Still quite a few Cryptonight coins worth mining besides monero!

I have quite the conundrum guys.. So I was flashing my 56 like normal (done it a million times to multiple cards B4) and accidentally flashed a corrupted 60KB rom into the GPU and bricked the first bios switch. No biggie, has happened to me before.

I booted into windows using the 2nd bios switch and popped it back into the first to fix the corrupted bios. Here is where I fudged up  Angry. I accidentally flashed the locked bios from the 2nd switch into the first switch (like a damn tard) which fixed the bricked 1st switch but now I can't flash either of them since they both got the locked version of the bios.

Is there any way to purposefully corrupt a bios to where I can recover it and flash a different one. Or is there a way to bypass the "can not erase rom" message?

Does the -f switch in the command line not work?

Just got my aftermarket vega 56 and it's using hynix memory.
can i still flash it to the manufacturer's vega 64 bios from reference cards? (samsung)

or which vega 64 bios can i flash to?

I'm having the same issue. I purchased a vega 56 red devil which has Hynix memory. I can't find any vega 64 bios with Hynix memory at all, they all have Samsung. Might have to stick with samsung only unless they start making Vega 64s with Hynix later on. Any one else figured out a way to flash a Hynix vega 56 to 64?


Why you need to flash 56 to 64? I just use stock bios and modregistry for 56 and I can get 1925 h/s with core 1375 905w mem 975 900w.

Sooo, you can use the same registry mod for V56 Custom cards as for the Reference cards??

I'm wondering what are you mining with the vegas ?

I've been mining ETN but now Nicehash pays a lot more and I can't find the coin everybody is mining. I prefer to mine the coin directly instead of going trough nicehash.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

IT IS ETN, whattomine just takes away 35% by default due to pool bad luck. Easy way to calc correct value is to add 10% to what whattomine gives for nh cryptonigh.
no, it is not etn, it is intense coin

I think Intense coin is far to small to have such an impact...only with a few bitcoins trading each day. But i have no better guess than etn due to the bad luck factor on whattomine...

Could be edollar or some other unlisted new coin that has not yet hit the exchanges? Perhaps people betting on new coins?

What is the conceptual difference Electronic Dollar than any other coin. Decentralization is now present almost everywhere why your coin will be in the top positions?
OK, so let have a short comparison
To bitcoin and coin fork from bitcoin:
- Transaction are anonymous, untraceable, that means, in bitcoin if you know address/transaction you can find/trace/link to the previous (ex: using blockchain.info) but you cannot do it with EDC. Only owner of the coin can do it.
- It's flexible, you can use another features using hard-fork without changing anything in blockchain (database), It's impossible with bitcoin because it is hard-code.
- CPU/GPU mining, ASIC resistant, so it's friendly with many normal people
- Difficulty target adjusted every block (bitcoin is 2016 blocks), mission curve is smooth (bitcoin: halve for every 4 years)
- And ... many more, please read the cryptonote white paper.

To cryptonote coin
- EDC is stable, secured because it based on latest version of Monero
- All transactions in EDC are ringCT
- The first cryptonote enables sub address/sub account
- And more ... check out the announcements and website



Good luck guys - hope this coin gets to $10 so that I can retire Cheesy

One of the rigs, after running perfectly for one week without hashrate drops, its now beginning to drop the hashrate after a few hours.  Again, windows installation is frozen to the same state as one week ago. No updates, no driver changes.   This hashrate drop purely caused by another variable affecting the cards.  The other twin rig, has no problems whatsoever.


The twin has a monitor plugged in? This happens when the screen goes to sleep, hence people recommend keeping the monitor plugged in at all times or having a hdmi dummy plug?

Hi All, I have a couple of questions if anyone can help

Can anyone tell me what the P Values in Overdriventool change. I believe P7 is the memory frequecy of the card and P3 the cards Ram? but what are the others.

also, I always stop the miner before making any changes in Overdriventool. Is it ok to make changes while the miner is running?

Thanks

Yes, it is OKAY to make changes in OverDriveNTool while the miner is running.  Let's say you have 4 Vega cards and one is the proverbial mutt.  If you are using the Jericho Jones script, you might opt to have the script load a pretty conservative, lower hashing rate OverDriveNTool profile just so that Cast or XMR start mining smoothly.  Then you can go into OverDriveNTool and apply a different profile for the three cards that work great, one by one, while the miner is running.  You should see changed hash rates for those cards in under a minute.  Or you could create two different profiles, and load the slower one for the mutt card, and the better one for the three good cards using the VideoTools option explained within the script and at the vegaminingblog.

Changing settings in OverDriveNTool while the miner is running can help you determine which card(s) is or are the dog(s) (your miner will crash after you hit "apply" for that card, even if it did not crash for the other cards).

You can fine tune your setup in this way.  But be aware that OverDriveNTool numbers the cards differently than the miner program.  So change one card's settings and see which card # in the miner window is affected.

Do note that adjusting mem clocks by 20-30mhz will only yield tiny hashrate improvements in CryptoNight.

However reducing voltages will yield significant power savings and will help with cooling thus preventing thermal throttling. Therefore it is well worth doing - but you can't do that with the OverDriveNTool. To achieve this with Vegas you actually need to apply a regmod with a particular voltage for each card, restart your computer and miner and see if BSODs. Then try a different voltage, then repeat the whole process for each card. Much fun!

Of course, a card may decide to BSOD after an hour of running in which case you are back to square one Smiley Which I why I ended up running fairly conservative voltages, sacrificing power savings...

Or did someone find a cleverer way of doing this?

No apparently they are all sold out in Lapland as well.

Word is you might be able to preorder for 2019 soon....

My Setup

2 vega 64 Liquid Cooled
2 Nitro+ RX580 8gb

Performance:
5600h/s

Vegas 2030 each
RX580s 780 each
Watts drawing at the plug 830

im using wattman and there are no registry edits done

what could i realistically reduce this usage down to whilst maintaing hashrate

thanks

I think you are doing well as it is! Powerplaymod to try to lower voltages on Vegas. You should be able to get 880-890h/s easily on RX580s with some reporting 900+ - basically similar kind of voltage/clocks optimisation as you would do for ETH.

So, I've been following a few auctions on ebay.co.uk

got the following notification this morning:
Hey m****** - Saphire Radeon RX Vega 56 8Gb HBM2 just sold for £556.00. Still interested?

No, not really, ebay!

Also you will need 2 8-pin PCIe connectors per GPU... You will need lots of PSUs unless you want to do something silly.

I second the Asus Mining Expert motherboard suggestion as it seems to be foolproof way of running a multi-psu setup!

Good luck finding 130 vegas in stock! I am struggling to find a couple more to complete the rig. The custom ones I pre-ordered cost 40% more than refernce ones and delivery dates are late January!!!

With Vegas you want to mine Cryptonight coins otherwise go with RX 570 / 580 for ETH.

Good luck running more than 8 Vegas per MB with dodgy AMD drivers.

Count on at least 200W/Vega when chosing power supplies. Probably 250w...

Best bet with Vegas is to go w 1600W PSUs and 7-8 cards per rig.... Start by reading all 122 pages of the 'Any word on vega hashrates thread'.

Probably better to not put all your eggs in one basket. For that kind of investment you want to diversify. Perhaps 1/3 into Vegas (if you can find any) mining Cryptonight coins, 1/3 in RX570/580 mining ETH and 1/3 NVIDIas mining some equihash coins.... You can also get some ASICs to mine BTC or BCC or Dash or litecoin!

network hashrate is skyrocketing past few days (35-52 GH/s = 48% increase). any ideas what's happening? people switching from mining other currencies or something more sinister!?

I'm seriously considering selling the 3 I have used taking my profit and converting the build to NVIDIA. Additionally, the fan noise annoys me.

Sounds like a good plan to halve your hashrates Cheesy

unless you really really really like zcash!

Did a preorder on a custom Powercolor Vega 56 on scan.co.uk... Estimated delivery date slipped from December 18th to January 30th!!!  Sad Sad Sad Sapphire estimated delivery date is January 10th!!

Some nasty delays happening ATM. Just so that you guys know what to expect!

with monero @ 300USD the chances of scoring a VEGA anywhere near RRP are extremely slim! 2 month payback is just too good to be true!

Where Can I find Devcon.exe? Where's the file location I mean. Please help.


1. Get your hands on the Windows Device Console (Devcon.exe). This will let you disable/enable devices from console.


Dowload it from Microsoft's website. Don't go for some shady source. As always, google is your friend...

Thank you rednoW for sharing your reg file. Its the first where iam able to boot into Windows. Both Vega56 with 64 Bios runs at 2kh/s with ~140W for a minute or two and then the AMD Tool crashes or one GPU crashes and resets to default settings. Also if i reduce mem to 950mhz and rise voltages to 1100mV its unstable. Bad luck in silicon lottery?

Something not mentioned in hellae's guide (but is mentioned in the comments), and something that I've lost a whole day to - you may need to up the voltages to 930mV. One of my cards would cause BSOD with all the reg files that I've downloaded, and even at 920mV - even with quite conservative clocks. Now runs rock solid for days on end at 930mV with fairly high clocks. I am sure it does affect consumption, but it is not like I have any choice!
