amdgpu-pro version: amdgpu-pro-core/unknown,now 17.40-483984 all


It does seem to detect the card.


This is the error:


Thanks

I get this error on a linux box with no GUI.

You are probably getting that error because your browser(s) are using the GPU? Try turning off "hardware acceleration" in chrome/brave.

I saw in the release notes that Tonga support has been added, so I tried the latest version (0.5.2) with a Tonga card (r9 380 4GB) but get the following error on startup:


Failed to initialise device idx 3 (-13)


Is this card supported? Or is extra config required for Tonga?

Nice, what timings did you use there? 650H/S on a 550 is impressive, very efficient.

There are good instructions for Lexa 550's in CN_GENERAL_TUNING that comes with teamredminer... but with the latest version of TRM it autodetects the best setting (L4+3), at least with my cards.

With the latest TRM and decent straps (PolarisBiosEditor/SRBPolaris) for elpida you should get 530h/s. Boost REF to 20 and you'll get 545. Core 1100, Mem 1950

You can also use a tool like OhGodATool.. the original was taken off github but forks of it still exist.

Nice, I use a bicycle track pump to clean my rigs. A bit tedious, but a good work out

Ah my bad, yes I meant 1930 MEM, 1130 CORE. OOPS

Not tried the windows version but it also has a IsRelevantDeviceID function (https://github.com/Eliovp/amdmemorytweak/blob/master/win/WinAMDTweak.cpp line 644). You should be able to add (dev->device_id == 0x699f) to that function.

Been testing Lexa RX550's (2gb elipida) with this tool. (To get them running with amdmemtweak linux cli version you need to add to IsRelevantDeviceID.


Starting hashrate was approx 529H/S with TRM 1930 MEM, 1130 CORE.

I lowered RFC to 82 (crashes at 80), and messed around with raising REF. Running at RFC 82 REF 50 gives around 545H/S.. which is a nice increase.

Cards also seemed stable at REF 100, and this got around 549H/S. How high can REF go? Well turns out no higher than 150 with my cards at least.

Seems like there is even more room for improvement with these cards... I will continue to experiment. I noticed someone selling a BIOS mod that claims 650H/S on these cards, so that seems like a nice target (if it really exists). Am I correct in saying that REF can't be changed with a BIOS mod? so this 650H/S bios mod (if real) must have gotten the increase without using REF?

Thanks for the tool, hopefully will report back with better hashrate increases for these cards.

Built the latest linux version from github but get the following error message


Same message regardless of what I pass with --i , e.g.

Anyone else got the same problem, or do I need to update amdgpu-pro?

There is no compute mode switch in the newer drivers, it's automatic.

You can't spend the reward from a mined block until 100 blocks have been mined on top of it. At 10 minute block times that means you can't spend your mined coin for 16.7 hours. Assuming you have enough hashrate to get daily pool payouts, you could certainly mine a coin and sell it the same day to lock in profits. You would have to have a lot of hashrate to make this worthwhile though.

Link is broken.

Where did you get your water blocks from?

I envy your VCU1525 

TradeOgre web trading interface seems to be disabled, but the markets are seemingly still accessible through the API.

XMR withdrawals instantly failing for me. They did respond to my DM on twitter, telling me they'd changed something and to try again. No luck though.

I also just got paid. The pool UI doesn't seem to be updating correctly.

Also experiencing some troubles with communitypool.stellite.cash.

Firstly pool hashrate is double network hashrate.. which seems a little odd.

The pool is mining all blocks in the network (cryptoknight.cc seems to be on a different chain), but share effort is consistently > 100, often much higher.

Is the bugged pool hashrate meaning share effort is being calculated wrong?

And lastly, unpaid balance isn't increasing as blocks mature and no payouts are being made.

TL;DR communitypool.stellite.cash is mining all blocks but payouts/effort calculation seem to be broken.

Not seeing a thread here for TradeOgre.com so I though I'd start one.

Newish exchange, seems to focus on privacy coins, mostly cryptonight alts with tiny volumes.
Biggest markets are ETN-BTC and GRFT-BTC at this point. Seems to cater mostly to miners.

No email address. No way to contact support. whois shows whoisguard was used to hide registrants email address.

Anyone have any experience on this exchange?

Is it known if there are any other companies that resell Whatsminers with their own branding?

Hi,

Today a Whatsminer M3 that I ordered in 2017 arrived. I plugged it in and got it hashing, then noticed that on the side there was a gluey residue, as though a sticker had been there and then been peeled off. The same residue on both sides. Then I remembered seeing the picture of "Kodak KashMiners" which seemed to be Whatsminers M3 with a Kodak sticker on the side. I googled the pic and sure enough, the stickers are the right size and in the same place as my residue. (https://petapixel.com/2018/01/11/kodak-kashminer-bitcoin-miner-rent-3400/)

Did I get sold a retired Kodak KashMiner? Or do all Whatsminers M3 come with this sticky residue? Any one else who received their Feb batch M3's notice anything similar?

I'm not particularly outraged, more curious and mildly amused.

OP I commend your entrepreneurial thinking.  Don't let the haters get you down, I think you have the base of a solid plan. Noise would definitely be an issue with people sleeping nearby. Maybe with a quiet GPU rig you'd be ok.

Personally I wouldn't want to leave my rig overnight/during the day in case it got stolen/confiscated.. it would be a big risk each stay (depending on where you stay).

How about you use cafes instead? You can use their wifi, plug into an outlet (might need to disguise your rig somewhat, a suitcase should do it), then buy 1 coffee every couple of hours whilst you browse a laptop. This way you save money and are with your rig at all times, in case a swift exit is needed. I'd leave a good tip. If you integrated a UPS into your suitcase-rig and added a fall back 3G dongle, you could even keep mining whilst you walk between cafes/back to your hotel.

You could even try it on public transport. There are trains with sockets/wifi, and depending on ticket prices/ride duration (it would be best to go for super discounted, very slow trains.. that way you get more running time per $ spent), it could be possible for your miner to pay for your train ticket and make a little profit. That way your miner would literally be paying for you to travel.

I'm sure there must be other places where you could do this (airports? train/bus stations?), but you may get moved on eventually.

Good luck OP!
