Is it possible to create a protocol where the network is secured by NFTs? (serious question)

Well, if those were the options... the results doesn't mean what they say.

I'd buy second hand GPUs in your local area instead buying from Aliexpress, it should be cheaper and safer

You do have OhGodATool in HiveOS, it is just called wolfamdctrl.

There is no reason power consumption between Windows and Linux to be different (except for differences in the code being executed by the GPU because of different miner and/or OpenCL compilation). I wouldn't expect them to be too different if you are using the same miner in both.

Have you enabled "aggressive undervolting" option in the OC profile?

You have to make sure that the GPUs are honoring the OC profile. Use tools like "sensors" to check GPU core voltage (apt-get update && apt-get install lm-sensors)

I use this webpage to know the current state of Bitcoin fees: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,1w

Only the last chart is actually relevant (mempool state in MB taking into account segwit)

It doesn't matter how good the GPU cooler is. If the GPU consumes 150W with a good cooler, it is going to put as much heat in the room as another 150W GPU with a bad cooler. The GPU with a good cooler will do it while keeping the GPU components at lower temps (i.e. keeping the core at 50º instead 70º), but both will output the same amount of heat to the room (power consumption = heat generated).

The good thing is that you can configure the GPUs to run at lower speeds to consume less power. This would result in lower hashrate, but at least you won't have issues with the wood in your garage.

That rig will use more or less the same amount of power from the wall as the S9 SE, therefore you will run into the same heat issues

That error is a segfault, meaning that the GPU tried to access an invalid memory address.
Try with stocks settings (no OC profile, no modified memory straps, etc) and see if it still happens.

Those symptoms are usually related to memory.

The GPUs consumes around 20-35% of their power from the PCIe slot, and the rest from the 8-6pin connectors, therefore if you put all risers in one PSU and the rest on the other PSU, the load between them will be quite unbalanced.

The best would be to use 6 GPUs (both top connectors and risers) + motherboard in one PSU and the other 6 GPUs in the other PSU. Also make sure that the PSUs are below 75% load as philipma1957 suggested.

Who doesn't understand the sentence now? I said that you need to prove that something is a ponzi/scam before throwing accusations. No one talked about proving that a ponzi is a scam.


Also good summary of 90% of your posts.

Personally, I'm not a fan of mining rigs with more than 6 GPUs using risers, but since you are staring, you could just use the motherboard you have with one more PSU until you learn all you want to learn and decide what to do going forward

I just realised you just did! Wow, you are getting good at misleading people.

You used the "re-learn ... textbook" as a misleading example, again.

What does learning has anything to do with proving? "To Learn" is not the same as "to prove". Apologies for being the bearer of bad news for your argument. Analogies like that are misleading.

I didn't say you need to learn again what a ponzi is, I said you need to prove it before throwing accusations. And, as far as I know, you can't re-prove something without proving it first. And sorry, proving A doesn't prove B. If you are too lazy to do your homework is not my fault.

Also, saying something over and over again doesn't make it true. Keep it in mind before continue calling someone a liar or something a scam. It is more effective to back up your arguments with evidences than repeating it until people believes it.

Oh yes, I understand the sentence very well, thank you for asking.

Are you going to teach me a lesson with another misleading example? Please go ahead.

Software power readings are not accurate. Do not trust it. 70-80W is actually 100-120W before the PSU, not even at the wall. It is very important to measure power with something, even cheap power meter plugs are better than software, and it is quite important to know the power consumption of your GPUs, specially if you are close to the PSU limit.

I agree with everything that philipma1957 said, and I would also put 6 GPUs per rig, specially with a 1200W PSU.

Just wow....

It is amazing that despite this thread being 42 pages long, it still can't fit Vod's ego.

Sure... why does anyone need to have their own opinion?


/ultrafacepalm

Please, don't become a lawyer.... or a judge for that matter.

I will try to keep this brief, as I don't want to pollute this thread with another topic.

I completely respect your opinion. Kudos for sharing it in a respectful way (unlike Vod does).

I have nothing against people sharing their opinions, and anyone that reads the thread I quoted can see that I said many times "everyone should do their own research". I was trying to be polite and respectful at the beginning of my thread, despite Vod being aggressive and disrespectful, and then I got fed up with so much BS from Vod and alike and started defending myself.
I was just sharing something that I found interesting. I investigated it and I been following it closely since the very beginning (as everyone should do with the projects they put money in), but I always said that people should investigate it for themselves and form their own opinions. People shouldn't trust me for saying "it is legit", nor should trust Vod for saying "it is a scam" (specially with arguments like "I don't need to investigate/research").

It is not right that people attack other people like Vod does. Sharing opinions is OK. Throwing scam accusations without evidence, insulting or calling liar, just because you don't like what the other person is saying, is not. Vod became very aggressive very quickly in my thread. He started to insult and throw all kind of accusations, and I didn't do anything to deserve it. I believe people like Vod are toxic and their contributions to Bitcointalk are not worthwhile.

I just wanted to share my experience with Vod, that is in line with what I have read here so far.

Another example of someone doing what Vod does. Accuse without proofs or evidence... No research or investigation. Nothing.
Very professional. Same as Vod.

Any proofs to back your accusations?

I hope not all your contributions to bitcointalk are the same.

Regarding Vod, I personally wouldn't trust a single word of someone that says

"I don't need to investigate/research", "Look at my numbers"

stating not only that he knows everything, but also that he doesn't even need to prove it (source).

Also, I wouldn't trust someone that cares that much about "his numbers", and, even less, that uses it as an argument to prove that he is right. Each post should contain all information to defend itself. Arguments like "my experience" doesn't exempt anyone from being diligent and providing proofs, something Vod doesn't seem to do very often.

To make things even worse, he also uses misleading arguments about how finances work (source) to validate his arguments, trying to manipulate people to make them believe he is right (something that was destroyed later on here). Not to mention that he dares to recommend books (about topics he uses to mislead people), implying that you have no idea and he does, again misleading people.

Accusations without proofs or evidence. Lack of diligence. Lack of respect for other members. Avoid.

Unfortunately, I don't think  you can find Ethereum ASICs for that price. The cheapest is the bitmain e3, which sells for more second hand, and that one won't be able to keep mining Ethereum by the end of 2020 anyway
