I bought 15 zcl for 70$ and will be happy if the coin will actually be 25$.

Should have sold right before the snapshot, for $100.  Or when it reached $200. 

OMG... this thread has plenty of misinformation, fud and fom makers.

If you are using the same formula which takes difficulty, and block reward, in order to calculate btcp profitability, you might get very wrong results.  Usually, for equihash, part of the formula is (difficulty * 2^13).  Based on my results mining btcp for the last 30+ hours, such factor should be 2^5.  I have 17900 sol/s of hashpower.  This got me about 0.5 btcp per 24h at suprnova. Difficulty was high at the very beginning, but for the last 30h is steady and lower.

what's the proper wallet and worker template for suprnova.  I've tried all kinds of things and the worker isn't showing up at the pool.  I watched the video

for ccminer

rig name is the same as my worker name at the pool

also how do you set temp limit?

You have to create a worker at suprnova.  if you are using %ZWAL%.%WORKER_NAME%  as username template, such worker should be named the same as your rig name on hiveos

This is a matter of opinion, but I think HiveOS OC is more stable than AM.  AM relies on MS Afterburner Remote Server, and a hack for remote execution.  It works sometimes, others dont. Anyway, this might not be AM fault, but windows.  I am not a linux fanboy in no way. I just think for mining rigs, to be left unatended for weeks or months, a stripped Linux distribution is a more reliable option.

Just moved from Nicehash and AwesomeMiner to HiveOS, since I plan to use all NVidia cards on my rig. I use MiningPoolHub as the worker and profit switching.

Few questions:
1. HiveOS doesn't seem to profit switch with MiningPoolHub. I've been running HiveOS for 3 days and it always runs Equihash.
2. There is no option for me to see Estimated Earnings like in NiceHash and Awesome Miner. Where can I see my estimated earning and possibly historical earnings?

Thanks

HiveOs is not a profit switch tool. I have used Nicehash, I still use Awesome Miner in some machines (the ones in my house, since I dont trust Windows to be left alone in remote places), I have used SMOS a lot (and still manage some of my friends rigs there), but after testing HiveOS, I have never looked back.

AwesomeMiner would be the most comparable to HiveOS.  Here how I think they compare:
Where AwesomeMiner is better than HiveOS:
- Profit Switch algorithm (although you cannot trust the default pre-configured ones in there: zpool, hashrefinery, ahashtool.  they report misleding difficulty through their api);
- You can see how many $$ you are getting in real-time (remember this is based on estimated, and not realized gains).  this requires you to maintain coins (maybe using external tools), doing benchmarks, but it works.
- New miners are usually found more easily for windows (at least the precompiled ones);

Where HiveOS is better than AwesomeMiner:
- It is Linux.  More stable, no problems with windows defender, auto-update, performance degradation over time, etc.  Demands less RAM, runs from a usb stick;
- GUI has a lot more informations and graphs.  I have the Premium License of AM, but it just allows me to export csv files.  With HiveOs, I check the monitor homepage and, in a second, I know everything is ok (or not);
- You can monitor and control your rigs from any web browser, from the Internet.  AM has the cloud services, but it is paid and less complete;

Hi all,

what are you using? 24 hour average estimate or 24 hour average current? Or maybe only current? and why? Someone is doing some test?

Thanks to all  Grin Grin Grin

With yiimp based pools I use the current estimate. The 24 hour estimate is an average of the previous 24 hours. Yiimp does not attempt to predict the next 24 hours (if it could do that with any accuracy we would all be rich Smiley).

As they say in the financial services industry, past performance is not indicative of future results.

I'm sure others will have different opinions.
I agree and understand.

I have been collecting coin stats, and trying to make a profit switch algorithm.  It is really hard.  You get a current difficulty, or a 24h average, or 2, 4,8 h... this is by no mean, an indicative of future performance.  Take for example DNR, whose difficulty swings wildly in -1000% to + 1000% from an avegare.  Even if someone figure out how to do this, there is still the price.  Some coins have a high volatility in exchanges.  

I will try to use machine learning in order to predict a little better future performance, based on past and current data, but there is no garantee it will work.

With all these pools stealing huge amount from you all along for so long,  I'm surprised you haven't found even an honest pool to mine on... or with all those huge stolen amount that you haven't invested in enough ASICs just to solo mine so nobody steals from you again.  Why exactly are you still mining on predefined online services even?

Consensual masochism?

Why don't you run a pool yourself and monitor it 24/24 and see how fair a pool op you could be... plenty of scripts on github to start your own and give it a go.

And how would you expect Patrike to do the monitoring? Blatantly accusing every pool owners or go up to them and ask "Are you stealing this week?"

Because this eminer likes to be babysitted.  Because he likes to complain and offend others.  Because he thinks patrike has a telephatic connection to him, so every simple custom feature he thinks is usefull and "urgent", should be implemented right away.

Eminer.. why dont you hire someone to make your own profit switch software?

I am a computer programmer for the last 32 years.  Tired of this kind of user.

I frequently use the JSON from WTM for pulling statistics. However, I have found quite a few new coins that do not show up in WTM. I'd like to still pull in the difficulty data for these coins, is there a way to actively do this? I understand how to create a coin, but that just statically sets the difficultly.

There was reference to be able to do this in 4.4 changelog. Havent investigated further yet:

- Awesome Miner API method to set coin properties, for setting profitability of custom coins from external applications
Yes it works well. I wrote a program to update custom coins.

I have writen a python script to get stats from whattomine.  They have data for 206 coins, but only has details for about 70, and use only about 50-55 in their calculator.  I still miss some coins, such as those listed on crypto-coinz.net.  Are you getting coin difficulty, block-time, global-hashrate, from any other source?

Hi. When are you coming with the Auto Profit Based Switching?

For example if the ZEC is more profitable to mine instead of ETH? Your OS automatically switches to ZEC Mining without the need of manual input.

Please let me know since Auto-Profit Based Switching is what we need at the current time.

Thanks.

There is so many ways to profit-switch... I suppose if HiveOs give native support to it, there will be an endless loop of customization, parametrization and new features being requested, and no one will ever be happy with it.

How have I not come across this before? I've been using Simplemining but this looks really nice.

Without reading through all 22 pages, has anyone here switched from Simplemining? How is Hive OS better?

I have switched from SMOS.  HiveOs is way better.  Has more miners, allows you to see hashrate trends, send you telegram notifications, shows a lot of graphics of temperature, fans, hashrates.  Its GUI is a lot nicer, richer and easier to use.

There is only two downsizes:
- Although Hiveos allows individual fans to be controlled, it doesnt have the Target Temp + Minimum Fan % concept as in SMOS.  I like to have my gpu lower than 70C with fans at a maximum of 70%.  If I let the auto mode enabled, it would allows temperatures higher than I am comfortable with.

- I dont understand why we have to apply a "miner" and "wallet", since the "wallet" in HiveOS already have its miner defined.

What is your configuration on ccminer?

Here is my ccminer config :
Code:
=== /hive/ccminer/pools.conf =================================================
{
 "_note": "SPD - protopool.net - Local",
 "pools": [
 {
 "user": "SMSzCejyNyNQKctCPvoPKbLocMtiNHP7nN.pixel",
 "url": "stratum+tcp://eu1.protopool.net:3582",
 "pass": "c=SPD"
 }
 ],
 "api-bind": "0.0.0.0:4068",
 "max-temp": 85,
 "algo": "c11"
}

I would check out the TB250-BTC PRO/USB key as well. I have an Asrock H110 PRO BTC, G3930, 12 GTX 1070tis(As well) +16GB M.2 SSD And I suffer no issues or instability with HiveOS.

It may be a problem with the TB250-BTC PRO bios configuration. Can anyone send his settings ?

Could it be a CPU problem ?

Thanks

I have 3 rigs with the same mobo and processor as you.  I havent changed a lot the default bios:
- CSM Enabled (let the other configs as default)
- All PCI set to Gen2;
- Always On when power back;
- IGFX as default video;

Right now, I am mining Zclassic on MPH with dstm.  Each cores load ranges from 20-50%.

The last 6 hours BUG ==> There are 3000 miners on zpool from AM that are all loosing money with x14 BUG, all with zero INCOME. Can you solve it ? it is URGENT !




You can solve it yourself, just take x14 off your list of software for now!

I did this, with 4 hours delay because I was sleeping and lost money because of this bug. AM did not take any action to solve the problem !

eminer... it looks all your post relates to:
- Reporting bugs from pools, exchanges, miners as if they are AM fault;
- Asking for features which could be done by reading the help;
- Offending AM author;

Come on, stop that.

http://forum.hiveos.farm/uploads/editor/0o/wv2xh070anfp.png

Finally Hive API is here. Let’s call it Ey Pi Ay)
Well, it’s a bit simple but what you can do with it is
- grab statistics for your own processing
- write your own auto algo switching script
- write your own wallet scheduler
- …
- PROFIT

The docs are here http://forum.hiveos.farm/discussion/192/hive-api
There is example for PHP add will be added Python soon (maybe)
Other features can be discussed in public chats.

can you show how the auto switching works with a video?

You will have to code your own profit swithing algo.  The API provides you the means to control HiveOS.  All else is your duty.

I have been mining with AwesomeMiner, which has zpool support.  I ve just found out, zpool is considering my BTC address (even with the "-p c=BTC" command line added by awesomeminer) as a BCH address.  Now, I have $21 in BCH tied to a BTC address.  I could not find a support email in order to have this fixed.  Do you know how can I fix it?

I let auto profit mining for a while and I have found out all my zpool mining, which was pointed to a BTC wallet, was considered BCH. I even had the "Select BTC payout when using zpool..." option enabled.  Now I have $21 in a non withdrawable address (BCH pointed to a BTC address).   I have changed to another BTC address, and manually added a "-p c=BTC" at the command line for all zpool rows at "Online Services".

Not sure if this is a zpool error, or AM.

I have just let AM start updating to the newer version (4.4.1).  It removed my installed version (btw, Premium License, only computer installed).  I had to download the installer again, but it couldnt install (some error while installing a service).  After the computer restared, the installation proceeded correctly and, thankfully, it didnt lose the configuration.

for 24 hour profitability settings, why would you not set it to 1 minute or 5 minutes?  It doesn't switch very often anyway.  The problem I have with that at least on my system is it will basically just mine bitcore forever.

From my experience you need to be careful when selecting pools for this. AHashpool is most reliable in terms of not experiencing / showing crazy spikes, while zpool and MHP are the worst.

In my experience, ahashpool stats are totally misleding.  I deactivated it from my profit switch.

I find all the values shown by AM misleading, they simply have absolutely no relation with the reality. I tried with 3 separate test rigs and with the same settings and same GPUs one shows $100/day and the the other shows that is it making $5/day.

It seems that statistics and  profit that is shown are just random numbers.

PATRIKE, can you read it and explain why all profit values from AM are RANDOM NUMBERS ? It changes from one miner to another based on random numbers, nothing that has to do with reality or at least with the values from whattomine.com !!!

When I said the ahashpool numbers are misleading, I didnt say it was AM fault.  It looks like ahashpool reports incorrect numbers.

I have been using AwesomeMiner free edition for awhile, but today I decided to go to the premium version, since now I have more rigs and I would like to check its overclocking functions.  Some issues I have found:
- "GPU Settings" dialog only shows GPU0, GPU1 and so on.  No model information.  I have tried to use the "map to system monitoring" and it didnt help (only the list on the bottom is updated, but not the one on GPU Settings;
- It doesnt keep the overclocking settings after reboot.  Actually, only the Power Limit is kept, while core/mem clock go back to zero;
- It takes 2 or more tries, clicking on "GPU Settings" to make it load the list of gpus, after reboot.
- In one of my rigs, GPU10 isnt affected by the GPU settings.
- I have tried to use the auto loading of GPU profiles at the miner, but it just allowed me to load one profile (I supposed it will be applied to all gpus).  In rigs with more than on gpu model, this wont help;

Is there any solution for these issues?

Thank you

AwesomeMiner have been reporting wrong numbers for profitability.  $760.4 per day, for a dual GTX 1070.  I am using version 3.2, which looks like the latest one.  When I try to download new miner, it says there are updates, but I need a newer version of AM.  Any tip for solving this?
